Storm King's Thunder

"It sounds like his attempt to contact the other plane failed, or he is currently asking his five questions. Either way he should theoretically be fine if he rests for... about eight hours or so? unless we have some form of... I think it was greater restorative magics, all we can do is wait. I'm in no mood to anger a cooky loopy giant that can use magic."

"In that 8 hours or so, will this tower keep goin' where it's spos'ta?"

Ink looks around, "Let's see if there's any other way up - just in case. I figure this castle operates on Zephyros' whims, and if he's incapacitated as Rip suggests......"

“I don’t know if going up there is a good idea. Zephyros asked us to stay down here and I don’t take advantage of his hospitality. Besides how would you even get up there; it not like as a cloud giant he made stairs so people like us could climb up to his private chambers.”

"We were given one rule, do we really want to break it at the first opportunity? I agree we should get something to get to the second story set up in case this place goes wonky, but I vote we stay down here for now"

"Either way, I'll go outside an' see if I can figure out where this thing is goin'."

Insight?: 24

"I would feel better knowing the in and outs of this place. It seems as if, from at least this perspective, one would need to be able to fly to get up there, but we should at least get a lay of the land, so to speak"

Ink begins touring the first level looking for any way up. Then he calls up to Quill - "Quill, fly around and see if there's any place you could place a grappling hook or loo[ a rope to... looking for an option "B" in case we can't get up more easily.  Rip, we should ask Zephyros how he floated up like that - I get the feeling it's a spell, perhaps he can teach it to us."

"that could be useful"

//what druid circle did Marave take?//

// Out with the kids, but will be back soon. //

The tower is still moving steadily north. 

//Circle of the moon... while I can become a giant eagle I can't fly until 4th level.//

//were there giant spiders in your woods by chance?//

//DM Were there?//

The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous animal forms. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1 (you ignore the Max. CR column of the Beast Shapes table, but must abide by the other limitations there).

// I take that to mean that I can transform into a giant eagle(CR 1)  but wouldn't be good enough with the form to fly. Figure that would be  a DM call //

//the great and terrifying giant hopping eagle!//

// typical RAW is that you can turn into a larger cr creature faster, but none with swim or fly speed until you reach the appropriate level - but hello large brown bear! lol//

//Dire wolf is pretty good 2 with its pack tactics. had a player do that in my game today//

Dire wolf is gonna be my go-to form for fighting

Angel; not comfortable with betraying Zephyros' trust will decide to go towards the opposite end of the room of Ink and begin some light martial training.
