Storm King's Thunder

"I'm sure its fine Marav. Now come on let's see if we can catch a glimpse of those Griffins from here."

"It will take time, but I'm constantly learning. I think with work I can change into one of them, just need a good look at them." Marav looks excited. "Wait till next fight and I will show you something interesting."

Ink, replying to Marav and the others, "I have a bad feeling in general, but this sky castle is one of the pleasantries I think we will find in this budding crusade.  Now, if you'll excuse me... curiosity calls."

Ink will begin to examine every nook and cranny of the spaces Zephyros has deemed okay for them to be in, cross referencing everything he sees with what he can remember from his books. Taking notes of anything new or interesting, especially the use of runes and the like throughout the castle, writing down those he may not understand fully to ask Zephyros about later.

"He isn't nearly as eccentric as he seems, it's just that contacting a being on a different plane is taxing on the mind."

During this travel time, Angel would take the opportunity to get to know everyone. He's only known these people for about a day but trusts that they are good folks. He would ask everyone a little bit about their lives: where they grew up, why they were going to Nightstone, why they decided to become adventures, what was their life like before adventuring, and, if they worship Lathander.  

Marav sits down, "I grew up on a human farm. My family would raise humans for meat for the rest of our community. It was a lot of work, but decent money."

...

He waits as that sinks in, then starts laughing. "Actually I grew up with my human grandfather who taught me hunting and basic survival. Helped him on his farm. When he passed the previous winter I decided to go out on my own. Joined the Emerald Enclave and was sent here. You might have noticed among strangers I tend to raise my hood and keep my mouth shut. In dim light I can pass for human which helps life tremendously."

Angel, at first, was speechless. When Marav starts laughing Angel begins laughing too. 

"Growing up on a farm sounds nice. I grew up in a monastery; spending my days training in Martial Arts and learning about Lathander. Also, you shouldn't hide your face from others. It just makes you look more suspicious and sometimes draws more attention to yourself than divert attention."

//Wandering around with Ink looking to see a Griffon, following the giants rules though. See it and be it... druids motto. I figure I can see it for when I hit druid level 4 and can become one, they have some nice skills.

Oh also... any other animals I can see.

Rip for once doesn't seem to want to talk much about himself "you know, the usual wanted adventure so I became an adventurer"

Angel will look curiously at Rip after his response. 

“For someone who goes around handing out books about himself you sure do clam up when asked to speak about your life.”

After saying that his eyes get wide as he realizes something.

”Duh, of course you wouldn’t tell me. It would spoiler your book. I’m sorry for asking you to spoil your work.”

Zephyros does not appear for several more hours, and the day is getting on towards night as the tower slowly floats northward. 

The outside darkens, but the bright flames in the crystal balls above keep the lower floor brightly lit. The only areas of shadow are beneath the chair & table, and beneath the two giant stone statues that stand, as if at attention, opposite each other and facing the table.

"Yes, that's it. The origin story is a special edition!"

"Well this seems to be a safe way to travel, but kinda un-eventful." Marav is keeping an eye out in the distance. "Seems too easy"

Rip lets out a deep sigh, "Now why did you have to say that? going to jinx us"
