Storm King's Thunder

"Very well, Quill, let's go outside and take in the view." Before walking out, Ink relays to the party, "Worst case, if we have to, there are a couple of spots that Quill might be able to drop my grappling hook onto, but it's slim pickings - and obviously we'd need to connect a couple of lengths of rope.  Anyways, let me know when he wakes up. I'll be outside watching the skies."

// Will move you forward in the morning unless anyone wants to do anything else. //

"We will just have to wait, if we hear any fighting or anything we can act then." Marav sits down to wait.

The day slowly crawls into the night, and the night towards the day. The warm tower is much more inviting than the windy night air, and you make camp once again on the floor of the cloud-tower.

Early in the morning, Quill telepathically informs Ink that Zephyros has woken and seems to be going about his morning, reading and eating some magically-supplied food. 

// What do you spend the third day doing? //

// Mostly complaining about our goodberry diet. //

//popping in really quick //

If Ink is able to get Zephyros' attention, he'll spend some time attempting to convince him to teach him how he did that levitation bit - it seemed like a useful skill to have when flying this high in the clouds - along with whatever other arcana Ink is capable of learning from the cloud giant, perhaps asking him about how his conversations go with beings from other planes.  Other than that, as there's nothing much more to do within the first floor of the structure, Ink will stick to the outside of the castle, walking the perimeter keeping watch to the skies with Quill flying about looking the opposite direction of Ink.

// i'll see if I can pop in quick a little later, Away, feel free to use Ink/Quill as you'd think I would. //

Angel asked either Rip or Ink if he could have some parchment, ink, and a pen. He then spent his day sketching out his companions one by one. 

Marav just goes off by himself and gets some rest. Gotta catch sleep where you can.

//With that role does it matter? :) Outside though, trying to find shadows or crouch in the cloud cover.//

Rip spends those days writing/drawing. when he sees Angels skills in art he asks "Hey Angel, would you like to help me with the illustrations in my 'graphic novel'? that's what I'm calling them"

When birdboys arrive

"Hey Zyphy you have guests! Marav you see those vultures they came in on?" Rip gets ready to greet the guests, and to distract them for his friends to sneak up on them if needed

//Can Rip use dire wolf Marav as a mount?//

Angel would happily agree to draw for Rips books. 

When the vulture riders arrived Angel would have been inside but would stand up and be nearby the enterance curious as to who the new guests are. 

//Rip can certain try. :-p//

The vulture riders see you but take little notice for you, instead striding towards the tower's entrance with purpose. If you are in their way, they try to move around you. They have no weapons drawn. 

Their vultures sit quietly, preening.

 Zephyros responds to Ink's earlier summons by calling down through the hole in the soaring ceiling: "In a moment, small one! I have received a message which I simply must record! It is of vital importance! I will be with you later!"

Later on this third day of your journey, while walking on the cloud outside Zephyros tower, Ink (and anyone else outside) is surprised by the sudden arrival of nine large birds—giant vultures—which have flown up through the cloud cover underneath. Riding these giant vultures are nine very thin and lightly-armored humans. They land atop the firm cloud, whereupon the humans dismount. All the riders wear steel helms that cover their eyes and resemble stylized bird heads. One of them is equipped with a shoulder bag adorned with a smiling face.
