FIND A WAY OUT
You will reach glowing gate. A voice will tell you that you are not worthy to enter. If you head north, have a light source with you as these areas will be dim. There will be another battle sequence as you continue. Stay well lit to have an advantage as they are vulnerable to "radiance." To move on, head south. There will be some lootable containers that will require some climbing. These will contain more ingredients and Arrows. Approach an area glowing green to trigger a cutscne and interact with the glowing area.

Continue heading up the platforms. Climb the southern platform and make your way up north until you reach an area with a block. Interact with the block to move it and crawl through. then Interact with the wall. After both switches have been activated, return to the main gate and it will open. You may want to return to the campfire area and take a long rest before returning as there will be a battle ahead. Interact with the chest to initiate a battle sequence. You will be facing Air Elementals, and Earth Elementals. Stay away from the edges to avoid getting shoved off. Once you finish this battle sequence, you can move on through the next gate and it will reveal the Green Dragon.The end of the cutscene will begin the battle against the Green Dragon.
The battle against the Green Dragon should be fairly easy to complete. When it is done, the adventurers will conclude that there must be another master that survived the Cataclysm who is also trying to protect the Gem when they obtain only a fragment of the Gem. If you return to the chest in the previous room to loot it, it will contain a Magnificient Shield that provides +2 to AC. When identified, it will be revealed to be Brightwall. Interact with the Dragon's Treasure and it will take you to the next area.

- Enter the room to begin the Secondary Quest: A Well-Ordered Room. You will be prompted with two choices once again: Heal the Servannt to Clear the mess or go on your way. Interact with the desk mess and it will clear the Quest.

AnonymousIs there any point in not taking the life stone, not freeing the prisoner and not tidying up the toom? Will this influence the masters interaction in the end? Because if he always fights than what's the point in following house rules?

Grabbed the book. No voice and could not enter the door, nor was there an interaction with it. I'm told to find another way in. 2022 may.31st

so what is the small chest in the far east lava river area , the one behind the tree and inside the wall ?
The end encounter in this quest is the most blatantly unfair fight i've ever seen. Is it meant to be impossible? I lowered the difficulty to the second lowest and prebuffed the fight and i still got the floor wiped with me. The difficulty spike is so jarring it felt like i missed a huge section of the game, like im four levels too low for the area. I know how to lower the shield but then i just immediately get wiped.
