"The point was to have an enjoyable honeymoon, if I remember correctly." Kierro replies calmly, though sternly. "There's the town nearby, with a wonderful ocean view. Hard to come up with a better honeymoon spot. The boat trip was one thing, but the lair of an ancient red dragon is beyond excitement, it's a deathtrap for those not prepared."
Esmeralda's eyes flash with anger, "And what makes you think we are not prepared? For the third time, I am telling you that we can defend ourselves." She pauses and thinks for a brief second. "However, if you are so adamant, then I will comply." Turning to Ronaldo she says, "Come dear let's go to the town."

“The mark of a successful DM is when you have caused more player deaths with doors than dragons, demons, or devils.”
Fesyss glances to Sinder. "I am hoping that The Belly of the Beast is a tavern." She quips back. She sighs though. "If you wish to do so, then I will have to do as you command..."
Piazet glances around as the conversation is taking place. He turns back to Latrius... "From what the humanoids of this settlement have advised me, this red dragon has built up some sort of labyrinth inside its mountain lair. It sounds like a sort of dungeon it enjoys testing adventurers inside of. I would doubt if anyone simply walks up to talk with the dragon, without facing its dungeon foremost."
Kierro sighs, a bit uncomfortable. "If you wish to be there, Esmerelda, we do want to be sure that you can defend yourself. Currently, we have no knowledge of your abilities, but if you were to show us what you were capable of, we might think otherwise. I don't wish to deny your wishes for excitement. I simply want to make sure that everyone who goes in comes out alive, including you."
(Yeah, I think with this latest exchange Honor's ready to find out what's up with Esmeralda. I figure it's probably insight check, but in case it should be something more observation-related, let me know what I should roll for her, and if there's any advantage/etc).
Naivara looks at Esmerleda, then to Kierro. Seeming to be reinvigorated by his words, she crosses her arms, and says, "Honeymoon or not, you are not coming. I will not put more people in danger. I dont care if you say you can defend yourselves or not. Ancient Red Dragons are not excitement. They are dangerous."

Leto, loudly whistles, summoning his mount to him, as well as calls to Saint and Morgan. He says (not in a whisper so anyone can hear), "Talk of a tavern sounds like a good distraction. I feel a bit of cabin fever after so long with the rest of them." As he gestures towards the growing army on the ship. "Morgan, would you like a night on the town? Saint, wait here, I will send Shadow back for you once we arrive, he can only carry two." He then mounts up and flies off towards the town with Morgan, ensuring that they dismount early enough to not scare the locals with his mount. He then sends the mount back to pick up Saint, bring him to join, and then hide off nearby. From there he'll attempt to find the tavern with his small entourage and get a drink to relax.
Palvin Glances up as fesyss, transforms, then takes wing, with Sinderon ehr back. "Not staying hidden then I guess..." He mutters.
Ymephis She just shrugs, staying close to Naivara.
Iveodaenth Is up above, in cloud form.
Yrsaintinth Waits for the gloomstalker to return, then does as ordered, riding it to join up with Leto and Morgan.
Piazet "Not very logical..." he says as he watches the dragon fly towards the town, screams of terror already rising from the town. He then glances to Latrius. "I would prefer those not be allowed in the castle again. It grates on my form to have such chaotic beings that close to me..."
Fesyss Turns into her dragon form, as ordered ,and then leaps from the cloud castle. She flies towards the town, screams coming from the port as people spot the dragon flying towards them.
Fraty "Are we taking wing then?" She asks, turning into her own dragon form and leaping from the cloud castle in turn. She banks over the town, the screams from the town growing louder.
Chysen Looks to Kierro for directions. "Doubtful if the Red doesn't know of us after that..."
Emmy "Can we go to the town?" She asks Honor. "I mean, not as a dragon, though flying would be fun. Do you like to fly? How about swimming? What is your favorite fish? I like to eat shark, but squid is good too. How long do you think it will take for this Red to come and attack us?"
Zambunth Stands near Latrius, seeming at ease with the Axial close by. he shakes his head as he watches the two dragons in the air. "I doubt if the Red will come out, at least not unless it is shown those two are planning to make this their new home. He'll wait to see, rather than take action immediately."
Morgan Rides along with Leto, glad to be off of the ship and that wierd cloud castle.
Leon Stands a step behind the Incarnum dragon, eyes on the flying dragons as well, but a grim set to his mouth.
Higgul "I could use a drink." Higgul informs Honor with an eye to the flying dragons. He seems resigned to whatever happens, clearly feeling a bit out of his depths here. he looks to Emmy. "Do you have a way for us to get to the island, without turning into a dragon and causing more issues?" "Um, not really, but maybe the Axial there could fly the castle a little closer, then we can just climb down the ladder..." Emmy responds.

Kierro looks distressed as he sees the dragons fly toward the island, and the terrified citizens below. He motions to those still there. "Let's head in on the Ice Floe. We can keep planning once we've landed."

"Your castle, your choice. Not like I’d complain either."
