A wyvern has two scaly legs, leathery wings, and a sinewy tail topped with its most potent weapon: a poison stinger. The poison in a wyvern’s stinger can kill a creature in seconds. Extremely potent, wyvern poison burns through its victim’s bloodstream, disintegrating veins and arteries on its way to the heart. As deadly as wyverns can be, however, hunters and adventurers often track them to claim the venom, which is used in alchemical compounds and to coat weapons.
A wyvern doesn’t fight on the ground unless it can’t reach its prey by any other means, or if it has been fooled into a position from which aerial combat isn’t an option. If forced into a confrontation on the ground, a wyvern crouches low, keeping its stinger poised above its head as it hisses and growls.
A wyvern intent on its prey backs down only if it sustains serious injury, or if its prey eludes it long enough for another easier potential meal to wander along. If it corners a fleeing creature in an enclosure too small to enter, a wyvern guards where the quarry hides, lashing with its stinger whenever opportunity allows.
Although they possess more cunning than ordinary beasts, wyverns lack the intelligence of their draconic cousins. As such, creatures that maintain their composure as a wyvern hunts them from the air can often elude or trick it. Wyverns follow a direct path to their prey, with no thought given to possible ambushes.
To tame a wyvern, you can try Animal Handling or any of the Charisma-based skills. You can help each other of course. Three failures means the wyvern wants to eat you, three successes the wyvern is tamed.
Ren will assist in any way he can. He starts thinking about all the animals they've come across and decides that's where his next field of study will be.

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

OOC Make a Nature check
As Erakas goes close to one of the wyverns, it tries to bite him as it does not want anything to do with the Dragonborn.
[Nature: 21]
No clue why I didn't think of Nature instead of History or Investigation hehe

OOC, Well there are 3 wyverns, maybe Erakas is luckier with the other two? by the way...
The cloud castle is in the air 200 feet from the ground.
OOC: Is there anything I can do to help?

OOC: I have -mod to most of those things. Can I try Intimidation? I have +5 there, not that my dice rolls will help much with that.
A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
OOC: Fingers crossed. If I fail, I'll stop "helping" 10

(OOC - wait - can't we just wind walk up there like we did with Nimbolo's castle instead of trying to befriend these demonic beasties?)

OOC: We wind walked here, so we'd have to wait a day to do it again, right?
