The others on the dragonflies are now aware of the evolving crisis of the blue-bearded dwarf clinging to the erratically flying dragonfly. Even those on the ground have started to notice, pointing up to the sky and watching the spectacle unfold. The dragonfly is flitting about a lot and the dwarf appears to be barely able to hold on.
"It seems that someone is having fun making trouble." Calanon mutters as he watches the dwarf being jostled about by the dragon fly. With little else to do but watch or find a way to help, eladrin will try to guage how far off the out of control dragon fly is.
About 100-200 feet away, depending on the course your dragonfly is going to take. So far your path has zig-zagged over the feasting orchard, silversong lake, then back to the carousel, and you suspect it’s going to turn to the right to head over the calliope and towards the other end of the carnival, whereas the blue-bearded dwarf is clinging for dear life near the lift-off zone, to the left.
Concerned over the blue-bearded dwarf she just spotted Viola ponders if she could either steer her dragonfly towards him or maybe take a leap down to save the dwarf. Otherwise. With a quick gesture and a few words in sylvan Viola casts Speak with animals. "Please, my friend, I now need your aid we both need to rescue the dwarf I'm afraid." She says to her dragonfly, pointing at the debacle by the lift-off zone. "If you would help me accomplish this feat I would reward you with a special treat." Persuasion to make the dragonfly comply: 8
Calanon grimaces as he sees that the other dragonfly is much to far for him to have a chance reaching unless he were to try and lead their own to where the dwarf is. Seeing little else to do, he will attempt to change the direction of his mount towards the other.
Davis glances towards the hapless dwarf, gaiging distances and options. As he does so he looks around to see what the others are doing and notices one of his new companions steering their own dragonfly towards the dwarf, while another appears to be speaking to a second dragonfly in buzzing and chittering sounds. Knowing too much help can be worse than no help, Davis decides to see if he can turn his own dragonfly to swoop under the dwarf, just in case the others are not able to get there in time, at least he would have a chance of catching the dwarf if they should fall.
Viola, your dragonfly responds rather slowly. It hesitates in its flight pattern, at least not moving further away. “But… I’m supposed to follow my path… what treat?”
Calanon and Davis, you’re able to intuit how to steer your insect mounts off their course, towards the dwarf. As you approach, the proximity of your dragonflies to his seem to calm his dragonfly, which stops jerking around erratically and settles on hovering in place, a good 60+ feet in the air. The blue-bearded dwarf is pale-faced and sweaty, just clinging to his harness. He gasps out, “A thousand thanks to ye, now please, get me down from here!”

Calanon will try to move his Dragon fly over to the one that is now hovering in place. Once there he will attempt to lead both of them to the ground so that the panicked dwarf can dismount.
Calanon and company, working together, are able to steer their dragonflies and encourage the rogue one to descend and land on the grassy ground. The poor dwarf flips onto the ground and lays there akimbo, eyes closed, gulping air. Many spectators around you are cheering and clapping. Crisis averted! What a spectacle!

Northwind lumbers over to you, wood creaking in his haste. His face is the picture of grateful relief.
“That was some good flying up there, hoo-wee! Lucky you lot were there to help our blue-bearded friend. Look here, chap,” he says, directing his attention to the dwarf. “Are you alright? I’m so sorry, it’s not like Seaglass to go wild like that.”
"Don't be scared, I ask you may, who that was and what they say, please Sir Seaglass do pray tell, you will see that things get well." Viola continues while gently patting the dragonfly on its head.
Calanon nods to the dwarf as he gets down from his own dragonfly, stepping to the side to let it return to the air. "I am not quite certain but it looked as though there was someone else near the fly that the dwarf was riding. Perhaps someone is pplaying what they think are jokes on others.
Bramble was finally able to catch up to the others licking a rather large and colorful lollipop as she looked at Viola who seemed to be gently patting a dragonfly on its head. The wee fairy between licks managed to ask, "oh, my... it looks like I missed all the fun. But what I found and it tastes as good as it looks!"
"A joke?" asks Pal, "I don't see what's so funny about possibly harming someone..." A look of consternation crosses his face and he asks the others, "Should we find this malcontent attendee?" To Calanon he will say, "Do you recall what this person looked like?"
"It would likely be good to pass along their description to any of the carnaval's staff." Davis agrees, glancing to Calanon for any details on the figure they spotted. He awaits any details learned from the dragonfly, as to what it knows of the situation as well. As he waits he has dismounted, letting his own dragonfly return to the air, and stands, scanning the area with cool gray eyes as he keeps an eye out for anything out of the ordinary, at least out of the ordinary for a busy circus...

If he or they are within range, Pal will utilize his mage hand to assist either the dwarf or those helping him to regain his seat.
My intent is that my help will grant Advantage on any related check.

Davis glances to Viola. "I heard you speaking with your own dragonfly, can you ask the one that took the dwarf for a ride why they did so?"
Viola nods excitedly and smiles to Davis before dancing over to Seaglass.
"Just now you,
sir dragonfly,
your rider threw,
please tell me why."

Viola, the dragonfly says to you:
”Gyaah!! Now there are Two of you that can talk to me?? …But you seem nicer than the other one. That one said horrible things, she scared me so!”
"Don't be scared, I ask you may,
who that was and what they say,
please Sir Seaglass do pray tell,
you will see that things get well."

The dragonfly says, “I don’t know who it was, and I don’t want to repeat what it said. Horrible nasty things! I got quite upset.”
