Then to Zephyros, again, in giantish to be polite, "Have you heard of other activities among your other related kin? What of the storm, the fire, the stone and the hill? Do they extend their reach beyond their normal boundaries as well?"
"Oh yes," Zephyros nods. "Things are getting very out of hand! I have been traveling the Moonshae Isles until very recently, trying to ascertain the reasons for this, until I finally settled on the most obvious explanation—the ordning is broken, and you are going to fix it! Ha!"
"I still think Triboar is the best option. Last I've heard it has not been disturbed by any sort of attack which means we should be able to re-supply and perhaps prepare them for an attack that will hopefully never come. It's also of a central location and has a growing market - we should be able to find caravans heading north and south that can spread the word faster than us on our own."
Ink squints at Rip, then turns to Zephyros, and in gianish says, "Have you been told the tale of Rip Dangerfield? Well, have I a surprise for you..." and Ink holds out his copy of the graphic novel Rip gave him early on, continuing, "but you may have to cast an enlargement spell of some kind on it so that you can read it more easily."
"Enlargement! That sounds like an interesting spell! I do not know that one. That could prove...useful..." Zephyros ponders this for quite a while, not saying anything, but just staring into the distance.
"Hmph, ye got any straight answers fer us Zephyros? If no, just point this thing at Triboar an' let's get movin'. What ye got ta eat 'ere?"
"Triboar!" Zephyros shouts, pointing skyward.
"Oh. Food! I have some shell-bread. My own recipe. Cooked by magic! I suppose that makes it magic bread! But I am not sure it would agree with your constitution? Do you eat flail snails shells?"
"Wait before we take off we need to let the people of Nightstone know that we are okay. The last time they saw Giants it didn't end so well and I don't want them to think something bad happened to us. Ink can you send Quill down with a letter and then we can be off when Quill returns."
"No, I thought not," Zephyros nods. "Very well then! Onward!"
He lifts his staff and begins to rise off the ground, then stops, levitating several feet in the air.
"Oh, yes, ground rules. I would request that you contain your activities to this ground floor, and stay away from the second floor and the griffon aerie. Okay! That is all, thank you, I will set our course now." Without further ado, the giant begins to levitate up through the hole in the cieling.
Ink scribes a quick note to Morak, reading, "Morak - found a friendly, although eccentric, cloud giant, named Zephyros. The ordning of the giantkin has been broken - somehow due to Tiamat's latest attempt to escape the hells. He's taking us to Triboar directly. We will deliver your message. Deliver ours: the ordning is broken; more giant activity is expected; reasons and intentions are still unknown."
"Quill sprint this down to Morak, and fly back to us, we're heading to Triboar, but I expect you will be able to catch-up - castles don't move that fast. I hope."
// Ink will try to pry any information out of Zephyros he can, especially regarding the arcane and on how sky castles function. I have to go out to the client location now, I'll try to check in if I can, but assume I won't be able to until tonight. Away, I trust you with Ink & Quill - have a good day everyone!//
Marav brightens up at the mention of Griffons. "Griffons? Can we see one? I've never seen one before." He calls after Zephyros.
“What? Oh...well, remember the rules—you may not go into the aerie! But if you’re able to see my pets without going into the aerie or coming up to the second floor, then that's fine!"
// Ink will try to pry any information out of Zephyros he can, especially regarding the arcane and on how sky castles function.
The wizard flies back up into the hole, saying, "I welcome the chance to converse later! I must go...and ask questions now! Onward!"
He ascends 100 feet into the 20-foot hole in the ceiling, and that strange luminescent glow from the second floor washes over his star-spangled, purple robes as he transitions between levels.
You are now on the first floor of this cloud giant's tower, and within seconds you feel the ground begin to move under your feet as Zephyros sets it on its way.
