"Then maybe Kyrian can go in so he can persuade the dragon to join our cause... I can go with him for backup. I... still have... a lot of my combat prowess. Maybe Tangy in human form... can come with us... he might enjoy the action." Yuno suggests.
Kyrian shakes his head "As far as I can tell it is a pretty strong creature. I'd rather not fight it if we have a choice, and I think I can persuade it to come with us. As you know, Yuno, if it does come to a fight, it would be incredibly foolish to fight it in it's own domain. We should find some way to lure it out."
He starts to strut around the area close to them looking for anything that may suggest that the dragon leaves its den, and if so, for what reason.

Yuno responds, rather quickly and almost instinctively. Her voice even shifts a bit as she says, "Foolish or challenging? It's more fun that way." She then goes back to normal and adds, "Um... how do we lure it out?"
Emmy starts to fall as she enters the eye in the storm, but manages to angle intot he storm clouds as well. Thanks to the freedom of movement spell,s he is easily able to navigate the storm,a nd flies up and out of the storm again, circling above the opening down to the island.
Kyrian
You do notice that some of the birds have been plucked and that a pile of discarded bones lays near the mouth to the cave. A tantalizing smell of smoke is also prevalent near the cave mouth. Stepping inside you would find a small campfire area. Looking closer, you would find humanoid tracks that go in and out of the cave.
Kyrian mutters something under his breath, then speaks up and addresses the group. "Imma go in and see if it wants to talk. Feel free to come, but if it gets mad we should get outta the cave as soon as we can."

Honor's stomach does a couple flips as Emmy navigates her way back up into the air. "How about we stay up here," she says to Emmy, a little queasy. "If you really want to check out the island, you could probably use project image."

Kierro: 13
Sharot: 27 (she also has unending breath if that helps)
He looks to his new dragon friend, concerned. She had seemed uncomfortable the moment they arrived. She was not under his control, but he assumed that she was here only because he was. "Sharot. Are you alright? Head back to the castle if you wish - the air here is getting rather thin."

Kyrian sets off at a jog, but after a few steps into the cave he stops and waits for the others "Hurry up or we'll be here all day and it's dismal here."

Leto con: 15, gloomy: 12
Leto lands on the ground a bit rough as his mount is clearly not used to the air here, but he himself has no difficulties and looks around, stretching his legs, happy to be on solid ground.
((what happens with an (assumed) fail for the con save?))
DC was 15, if failure, then get one level of exhaustion.
Leto
Your gloomstalker seems tired and less-responsive the longer you stay here. Though you yourself fell just fine.
Yuno
"If there is chance to bash something, then let's go in." Tangy responds to Yuno.
Kierro
"It must be a force dragon." Sharot says with a shiver down her mithral scales. "Their relationship to the Void sends shudders through my entire being. I can sense teh wrongness that makes up this place." She does not appear to wish to leave though.
Island Crew
Everyone but the gloomstalker is fine so far, though you can all sense the thinness to the air.
Yuno responds cracking her knuckles, "What about a big old Force Dragon? That something worth bashing? Though the others are saying they'd like running if that is hostile. Maybe it has minions in the cave? I hope it does anyway."
After landing, Leto pats his out of breath mount on the head and tells his imp to fly it back to the castle, and then report back so Leto can teleport the imp to them on land. He then looks around to get a feel of the land around them, having very little difficulty with the thin air.
As Kyrian, and those with him, start down the cave tunnel, it is clear that few have walked this path before you. A few birds look to have stumbled inside, but the only other tracks are the few humanoid ones noticed before. Not too far inside the cave mouth you find an old campfire, and you wonder where the wood could have come from to make such a thing. Continuing past the old campfire, you follow the tunnel down and around, the sound of some great beast's breathing getting louder as you move along. (As a note, these tunnels are not big enough for a dragon, so those with you will need to change to humanoid form to continue.) Eventually you come to a large cavern, with your tunnel exiting high up one of its walls, with a ledge-path circling down, and around the outside of the cavern, to the floor below. Even from where you stand you can see the mounds of treasure piled up on the floor of the cavern. Several humanoid figures also appear to be down there, looking to be sorting through the piles of treasure. You can all sense the dragon, though you cannot see it. It is down there though, right among those piles of treasure. Kyrian would not be surprised at not being able to see the dragon, as he would know Force Dragons are completely transparent, especially as they get to the adult stage.
Kyrian walks towards the people rooting through the treasure, calling out "Hello there. We are looking for a dragon, don't suppose you've seen one, or rather heard one, around here? If you folks are trying to steal from this hoard, I feel like it is my obligation as a fellow adventurer to advise you otherwise."
He stops at around 30 feet away, and surveys the room.

From what Kyrian knows of Force Dragons, it is as likely to Planeshift away than to walk out through the cave you sense it down.

Those on the island, please give me a con save for yourself and any dragons that have come with you. Leto, I'll need one for the gloomstalker as well.
Who is going in with Kyrian? If not going in, then what are you doing?
Naivara watches the rest of them leave for the island, "I really hope this doesn't turn out for the worst..." she says

Ok, what is everyone with Kyrian doing? Are you trying to be sneaky, striding right in, or doing something else?

Yuno is going to stand next to Kyrian waiting for shit to go down. A dragon would not leave this big of a hoard behind.
