“I’ll do my best. I sincerely hope they are here to investigate, and not attack.”
In the first two hours leading up to when the bronze would arrive, Kierro consults with Chysen and Sharot. Perhaps they know of who this ancient bronze is and what they believe in, how they think, etc.
You all sense the dragon as it approaches. You cannot see it though. From the direction of where you feel the dragon, you believe it is using the storm to mask its approach. What do you do?
Yuno smiles nervously and responds, "Y-yeah... slow travel... really slow."
Leto has been spending his time simply watching everyone aboard discuss, and enjoying the food and wine aboard the castle. “Time is on our side.”He replies to the newcomer. “What was ours will be ours again, that is inevitable.”Then looks closely at the small girl to see if he can gleam any bit of insight ((26)) on how she’s feeling.
Yuno is feeling bored... and itchy.
Seeing the young girl nervously itchy, Leto remembers a particularly nasty rash he got from a Paramore many years back, and decides he wants no part of whatever Yuno has under her armor, only hoping that it won't spread, so backs away from her to ensure he doesn't catch it.

"It seems we have more company." Leto says with a grin. "Who feels closest to the incoming beast? Perhaps they could handle the negotiations."((by closest I mean by alignment))
“Should we prepare for a fight? I don’t want to fight it, but if it thinks it is approaching us unseen, it may attack, before we’ve had a chance to explain ourselves?” Maril says, with some concern.
After checking with his companions, Kierro frowns. "Nothing to go off of... beyond what I know about bronzes in general."
He makes sure his armor is readied, then turns to the others. "I'll head slightly out, in an effort to speak with it first. I'll try to ensure it doesn't kill us, but ready yourselves anyway."
("Or that we don't kill it"), he thinks. ("That's a very real possibility if it attacks us. Controlling it or not, I don't want a bronze, or any dragon, to be killed senselessly!")
With all his preparations complete, he feels for the dragon's location and heads in that direction. Not into the storm, but outward, so that when it emerges he will be the first thing that it comes into contact with.
“Good luck. Remember, although we can sense the Bronze, it may very well not be alone. Maril cautions Kierro. I will be watching in case you get into trouble. She casts Arcane Eye and sends her eye along with Kierro. She herself remains near the wall, mounted on Undoth, who is in amethyst dragon form. She appears fully ready for a fight, with shield and helm on and ready, holding her long staff almost like it is a lance.
, Ethiem is patrolling on his own circling the castle.
Looking around, Leto snaps his fingers as his gloomstalker with his imp riding it appear next to him, the mount immediately shrieking before Leto goes over to place a hand on it and calm it down. He then replies, "It seems the latter. I'd like to fly out and watch. This is our first time seeing an Ancient here."He then mounts up and prepares to follow the entourage, at a bit of a distance, to keep his eyes on what's happening.
Just for fun, dc 13 con save or temp paralyzed for 1 round (but we aren't in combat, so you would shrug it off immediately after even on the low chance of a fail) from Leto's mount's shriek.
Yuno walks towards Kierro, but then holds her ears when she hears the Gloomstalker's shriek. "Ow... that was something." She says. Then she turns her attention back to Kierro and says, "I... want to go with you. It's dangerous to go alone... If it turns to a fight, I can help."

"Some of the others are planning on flying out behind me as well, to watch and keep guard if a parley fails. I'd ask that you stay with them unless something happens to me. I appreciate the concern, however." he replies as he flies off, with Chysen and/or Sharot (maybe, depending on their personal desires) following close behind.
Leareth grimaced at the sound, waited for it to be over. "An ancient bronze, hmm? We should invite it to visit us here, and stay awhile. I'm sure its wisdom would be of benefit to us." He had no fear of it, though bronzes could be quite troublesome. Always judging, always jumping to conclusions. Hopefully it would be old and wise enough to listen first. "I will come along to greet it." He glanced at the dragons following him. "Come along, both of you. Oddroin, can you hang back and watch the area while we go meet it? There might be hostiles with it." Somehow he did not want him with them when they spoke with the bronze. Too chaotic.
Yuno gets Tangy ready saying, "Time to go... fly around for a bit. Getting... bored... and irritated."
She'll fly out behind Kierro. She would like to be right up close but doesn't want to get in his bad side... not yet. So she agrees to stay back a bit and watch the interaction with the bronze dragon, like he instructed.
Ok, I guess I was not specific enough. I need placements for people. I have put together a map. Please tell me where each of you are on it, giving coordinates. The big green square is the flying castle's cloud-land. The smaller 2 blue squares are the smaller towers, while the larger blue square is the main keep. Not sure if the colors will be different for those towers and keep, as I put a blue overlay over a green overlay, so it might look wierd. Kierro is on the map, about 300 feet in front of the flying castle. I'll add the dragons after everyone has said where they are at on the map.
Honor's going to stay at the castle for the moment. She'd ask Emmy to stay close in case she needs to mount up, but whether Emmy listens or not is up to her (though I'd like to control her for combat). Higgul will head to the ballista.

The shriek seems to startle him and he nearly slips off the edge. After he frees himself of the shock, he chuckles at himself and turns back towards the dragon.
