Ink, careful not to use Zephyro's name, calls back to the others inside, "Please tell our host that he has guests..."
Then addressing the riders dismounting, "Good day to you all, to what do we owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit?" Ink slowly backs into the main chamber, never giving his back to the visitors.
//Does Ink recognize the smiling face on the bag or the designs of the helms either from an organization (whether government or private) or religion of some kind? Roll: 16 , + 5 if history, + 3 if religion or straight INT check //
The armored Humans, males and females of various apparent ethnicities, continue through the oversized doorway. They look at you when you speak, but make no attempts to communicate with you, instead trying to see past you into the tower.
You recognize their apparel as belonging to the followers of Yan-C-Bin, the Prince of Elemental Air.
”Umm, you have some guests that came up here via Giant Vultures. Were you expecting someone?”
The male at the front, an Illuskan human, shouts into the vast building, "Tower-master! O great mage! We would speak with you on behalf of our master!"
"Good day, again, how may we help the followers of Lord Yan-C-Bin, the Prince of Elemental Air? While we all wait for our host to arrive. Perhaps we can be of assistance in the meantime."
"Good day, again, how may we help the followers of Lord Yan-C-Bin, the Prince of Elemental Air? While we all wait for our host to arrive. Perhaps we can be of assistance in the meantime."
"Are you a cloud giant?" Says the other human in the front of the group, sarcastically. "We have business with the master of this tower and him alone, elf."
The first human takes Rip's book, looks at it, and casts it aside as he and his followers move towards the center of the ground floor. "GIANT! We wish to speak to you!" He bellows up into the tower.
"Our host is a creature of manners... Perhaps you should ask for him more nicely. It is a true shame that you don't even to seem to know his name. Is this a habit of yours? Barging in on unsuspecting cloud giant homes?"
// Ink telepathically has Quill go up to see what Zephyros is doing or what state he's in. //
There is a clattering from the second level of the tower, and soon Zephyros' giant form can be seen descending slowly through the air. "Yes, yes, fine, I'm coming! So impatient you small folk are!"
He alights on the stone floor and, seeing these new figures, says, "Oh! New ones.
Ink, replying to Zethyros, "No, good sir, they are not. They deemed it fit to land upon your home without invitation - not even knowing your name."
Then, looking back at the armored individuals, he continues speaking to the cloud giant, "They are followers of Lord Yan-C-Bin, the Prince of Elemental Air... tenderly known as "The Howling Hatred." Apparently, some time back he and his fellow princes had some sort of... setback. I've only heard, in rumor, of course."
Now, directly addressing the uninvited guests, Ink says with a smile, "You know, you should consider a change of heart and follow Aerdrie Faenya, the wild goddess of the winds and weather, rumor has it she's a bit elemental herself... and much more pleasant then said Howling Hatred...." After a pause, "But forgive me, you had a question for our host."
// another one of my characters is a follower of Aerdrie Faenya, which is why i actually know some of this stuff... LOL //
Ink, replying to Zethyros, "No, good sir, they are not. They deemed it fit to land upon your home without invitation - not even knowing your name."
Then, looking back at the armored individuals, he continues speaking to the cloud giant, "They are followers of Lord Yan-C-Bin, the Prince of Elemental Air... tenderly known as "The Howling Hatred." Apparently, some time back he and his fellow princes had some sort of... setback. I've only heard, in rumor, of course."
"Oh! How very exciting. Elemental Air. I know some elementals you know. But 'Howling Hatred' sounds so very terrible. Is that really your name? And what of these rumors? I do love a good yarn."
"Rumors, only, I assure you," said the first human. "Yan-C-Bin seeks..."
Now, directly addressing the uninvited guests, Ink says with a smile, "You know, you should consider a change of heart and follow Aerdrie Faenya, the wild goddess of the winds and weather, rumor has it she's a bit elemental herself... and much more pleasant then said Howling Hatred...."
He clears his throat, and continues to Zephyros "...As I was saying, we followers of Yan-C-Bin seek to..."
"But forgive me, you had a question for our host."
The human glares at Ink for a few heartbeats before taking a deep breath, and continuing in his pompous manner, "Great wizard, we have searched far and wide for an ally in these dark times. The world is a tattered mess, in need of salvation. Surely you have heard of Yan-C-Bin the subtle, Yan-C-Bin the mighty, the Prince of Elemental Air. We speak for him, and humbly present you with a gift—" at this, the second human leader takes a pouch from his belt and offers it up to the giant, who readily accepts, and the first human continues, "—and request that you ally with us in order to help Yan-C-Bin return the world to its primordial state, as it was at the dawn of history. Yan-C-Bin rewards those whose goals coincide with his own!”
"You do know that returning the world to it's primordial state means killing everything right? Yourselves included. Not living up to the subtle title you just listed"

Angel is on edge while the human guests are here. Even though they are not attacking he doesn’t trust their overly aggressive mannerisms.

Zephyros looks to those of you in the tower with him and says in his resonant, reedy voice, "And what do you think of all this?"
