The room's not very big and the dolphin won't be actively avoiding me, in fact I bet it'll be curious about me. I suspect this won't be a very hard challenge to overcome. I hope the dolphin will teleport too otherwise it's at risk of drowning too.

death does not allow you to escape the room

Maybe. You are right the dolphin isn't actively opposing you. But I'm not so confident it will be curious and won't instead try to flee from fear.
I'm not saying FOR SURE either way. Maybe it'll be curious, maybe it won't. It's up to you to gauge that risk.
