I don't like to ask other people to poll their money, so that's out of the question, but I do like the idea of rolling additional treasures, because clearly these modules are not giving much in terms of it.

IC, Parra can be convinced it will empower them as a crew or something
Edit- can burning hands burn such a tree?
Or some fire cantrip in few rounds?

Edit- can burning hands burn such a tree? Or some fire cantrip in few rounds? According to the spell description, Burning Hands can ignite certain substances. PHB: "Flammable materials touched by the fire burn (e.g., cloth, paper, parchment, thin wood, etc.). Such materials can be extinguished in the next round if no other action is taken." Of course, a tree isn't thin wood, it's thick wood. So you'd probably mostly scorch it. Unless you doused it in oil or other flammable material first. Setting a tree on fire with a cantrip probably wouldn't work, unless it was very dried out or again, was covered in some kind of oil or other flammable liquid first.

I'd probably have the tree making a saving throw against magical fire to determine if it ignites or not.

What's different about these baaz, compared to the others we already saw? O:

The Baaz you fought had brassy scales and were far more human looking than most draconians, with smaller fangs and less prominent draconic features, although they still had tails and wings, but if they covered up they could pass for humans if they wanted to. They were fairly simple and brutal, and upon death turned to stone, which could risk trapping weapons inside of them.
You faced one Bozak who was much different. He was taller (over 6'), with ram like horns protruding from his head and his wings were much larger. He was far more cunning and could cast magical spells, as well.
These draconians don't resemble either Baaz or Bozak. Their scales are coppery and while they are quite tall like a Bozak, they are very slender, with sleek torsos and long limbs. They have short manes of hair hanging from either side of their mouths, and their wings are large and pronounced, like the Bozak's.

Oh, I misread your post. I thought these were baaz but were different someway, so they're just a different kind of draconians altogether, gotcha.
A question: do I know if draconians count for the purpose of "Hold Person"? I think they do, but I want to make sure, if possible

Draconians aren't mentioned specifically in the spell description, but then again, they wouldn't be as they were a campaign specific race. However, it does say they must be 'bipedal,' 'man-sized or smaller,' not undead and roughly humanoid in shape. All four apply to Draconians, so I'd rule the spell can work on them, yes.

I'm reading the Hold Person spell to understand it correctly, but there is something I'm not sure of. At the beginning it says it can hold a number of 1d4 creatures, but then it lists effects of what it does to up to 3 people? (This is unrelated to this particular fight, since I can't center it in a way that it hits 4 draconians anyway, but just for future uses I'd like to understand it better).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was a typo of some kind. I think it's supposed to be 1-4, not 1d4. That's how I've ruled it; you can choose up to 4 targets within range.

For future reference, Igordragonian , these are the rules on retreating/withdrawing: So she can withdraw, but she moves at 1/3 speed. Since she is encumbered, her movement rate is 8 and because she used an action (casting a cantrip), that is cut in half to 4. So 40/3 = 13.3, or rounded down to 10 feet. So she doesn't move very far, and it's pretty easy for him to just follow her.
