Kierro keeps a vigilant watch toward where he can sense the dragon, as well as for anything else that may become a danger to the group. Perception: 14
He adopts an unassuming posture. He prefers to let Kyrian handle the interactions with the dragon - of all those here, it's him that is most incompatible with the wyrm itself. He's here to observe Kyrian and protect everyone who has ventured down into the cave.
"Shh..." One of the humanoids says in alarm, over-large eyes going wide as they glance up to see you. "He's sleeping..." "He'll be cranky if you wake him..." Another of the humanoids whispers. "Too late..." Another says as they glance towards an area of the treasure horde. A ripple across several piles of coin draws your attention, as well as the attention of the humanoids that were sorting through the treasure. You would all sense the force dragon there, as it moves and some of the treasure shifts under it. "What do you want?" A voice says in dracconic. Kyrian would feel the eyes of the dragon on him, even though it is hard to tell what part of the dragon is what. "I sense something..." The dragon says, almost to itself. "What is this that makes me feel... tender towards you?" The words sound retorical, but the dragon stops speaking there, leaving the words hanging in the air.
The ripple seems to shake itself and give a low growl of discomfort. "I know not of these dragonlords you speak of. Regardless, you have trespassed into my home. What do you want of me?" Its voice has become a little grumpier and less welcoming.
Those either in the castle or flying above the eye that leads to the island, you hear something off in the distance. It is a long way off, and it takes a moment to recognize the far distant sound of wolves howling. As you are above a storm, with thunder crashing below, and also above the Sea of Swords, howling wolves is something quite odd to hear. Along with the howls is some sort of rhythmic thumping sound. Both of these sounds grow a little louder, then fade again, as if moving further away.

Kyrian smiles warmly "Nothing you would not want for yourself. Me and my companions are from another world. In that world, we were struck down by the gods and pieces of our identities were scattered all throughout Faerun. We have decided to work together to reclaim these fragments of our souls, but we could always use extra help. If you wish, you may accompany us on this quest."

Was that rolled with advantage and expertise?

"I feel a desire to accompany you, though that is quite odd for me." The dragon says with a slightly confused sound in its voice now. "Can you explain what would be in such an enterprise for me? I would not usually stir myself for such a nebulous cause, especially for lesser beings, and, equally lesser, dragons."
Yuno looks disappointed. She was really hoping to sink her blades into a worthy foe for the first time in months. She turns to look at Tangy to see if he is feeling the same disappointment as her.

Leto, hearing the voice and looking towards the hoard looks around the room to see if he can get a better view on where the dragon is, as well as if there is anything else of interest; his imp now sitting on his shoulder after having taken his mount back towards the castle. ((perception 26))
Leto, you can definitely see the general outline of the dragon. Coupled with your sense of it you know exactly where it is, though seeing something that is transparent is difficult.
Yuno Tangy looks a bit frustrated at not getting to knock something around. He shrugs and glances to you, clearly ready to head out of this place if there isn't going to be a fight.
You sense the wolves first SouthEast of your position. They get closer as they reach a point straight East of you, then get more distant as they go Northeast of you. As if they were traveling South to North in a direct path East of you.

Kyrian looks slightly peeved "Lesser? I am lesser than no being, but I will forgive that slight. You are welcome to your own share and my share of any treasure we find on our trip spare the items that house the piece of my soul. In addition, we are being targeted by the gods, and it is possible that they might start attacking other dragons to reduce our pool of possible allies. If such an event does come to pass there would be safety in numbers with our group. Finally, we make pretty good company if I do say so myself. The choice is yours to make, and you may depart from our group at any time."

"You seem quite reasonable in your request." The dragon says with an annoyed grunt. "Very well, I will bestir myself and travel with you for the now." Its attention seems to move to the humanoids that were here, and who were staying very quiet, and unmoving, in the chamber. "You lot, keep an eye on my treasure. I'll be back soon I hope." A ripple then leaves the horde pile and moves towards Kyrian. "I am ready to leave if that is what we are doing." It informs Kyrian. "Some of your more survival-oriented friends seem to have left already..." As it says this Yuno and Tangy are heading back up the tunnel towards the surface.

Is there a check (Arcana, Religion, etc) Honor might make to see if she has any idea why she might be hearing the wolves?
Also, a perception check to see if she can see anything or at least get a direction where the sound was coming from: 27

You sense the wolves first SouthEast of your position. They get closer as they reach a point straight East of you, then get more distant as they go Northeast of you. As if they were traveling South to North in a direct path East of you.
You can give me a Religion check.

Yuno decides to get out of there with Tangy as it doesn't seem like there would be a chance to smack something around.
