"Well'd'ye no hear me name meself? This coulda turn't bloody, an' ah'd hate'ta had'ta kill ye with us not bein' enemies!" Flint turns out his Corporal's rank insignia from Citadel Adbar and his Lord's Alliance insignia.
"So'd'ja come all this way from Mithril Hall on the dragon's back then or'd ye see us from the ground?"
... I am Rip Dangerfield Adventurer Extraordinaire and this is my merry band. (if history check failed) What pray tell is your name? After this incident here is settled I'd greatly wish to interview you for one of my books, if you would be so kind?"
After introducing herself to you, Clarion tells Rip, "I'm afraid the interview will have to wait. I am needed to transport these fine dwarves to their missions. Perhaps we shall meet again, Rip Dangerfield, Spider Rider."
"Well'd'ye no hear me name meself? This coulda turn't bloody, an' ah'd hate'ta had'ta kill ye with us not bein' enemies!" Flint turns out his Corporal's rank insignia from Citadel Adbar and his Lord's Alliance insignia.
"So'd'ja come all this way from Mithril Hall on the dragon's back then or'd ye see us from the ground?"
The dwarf saluted Flint. "Like I said, we have orders, and weren't about to abandon them at the first sign of opposition. But I'm glad as well that it didn't come to blows.
"We've been tracking the movements of cloud giant castles. This one was on the move, and so easy to track."
Flint returns the salute. "Aye, ah know 'bout orders. Sounds like yer dragon lass is rearin' ta go, can'ye spare a few minutes ta tell us'ny news? We been cooped up on this cloud fer a tenday.... Downstairs o' course..." Flint grabs the rope and starts rappelling.
"Clarion, if you and your troops would be so kind as to join us below and make your eventual exit from there, it'd be appreciated. I'm sure you will have a more elegant way of doing so, but for us mere mortals..." and on the last few beats of his words, Ink leaps for the rope and rappels down, suddenly calling back," Come on Quill - you, too! "
Reaching the cloud level the soldier in Flint turns to Ildehar "Be there'ny more assault squads like yers? Have ye taken down many towers this way? How's yer losses? An' what news o' the world below us? Ah'm guessin' there's been other attacks'er ye would'na be here. We were last in Nightstone, ruin't by a cloud giant attack. Was there we met Zephyros who came in after."

Marav will go down with the others, he wants to change back but doesn't want them seeing a big half orc suddenly appear in their midst and think something is up.
Overhearing Flint and Ildehar's conversation, Ink turns to Clarion and asks, "Is there a way we can mark Zephyros as a neutral party in these recent and unfolding events? He has been useful and provided insight." In quieter tones in Draconic, hoping to avoid too many people hearing what he says out of respect to Zephyros, Ink explains a bit of what he learned, regarding the shattering of the Ordning, how it could be a reaction to Tiamat almost being allowed to escape her prison in hell, and of Zephyros' personal eccentricities and their likely cause, then, back in common, "He's ushering us to Triboar to, hopefully, avert, or at least mitigate, a disaster and he desires to return Faerun to some semblance of order before whatever happened among the giants."
Angel will climb down and after seeing Marav come down but stay a giant spider he'll ask with a child-like innocence
"First of all Giant Spider - that's new. Secondly, why don't you transform back into regular Marav we're not fighting anymore. I mean, you can't speak Lady Clarion as a giant spider and I'm sure you'd love to know how to transform into a dragon like her."
"To tell ya the truth, this was our first," the armored dwarf said quietly. "But it's not for lack of trying. This whole giant thing is very new, and far as I can tell, we're still trying to work out exactly what's happening. But I expect a full-blown war."

"It's not up to me, but I'll see if I can put in a good word with the dwarven queen. I suppose it mostly depends on what this Zephyros does after delivering you to your destination."
Offering his hand to each of the dwarves and a clumsy bow to Clarion Flint says "I ain't had me so much as a pint o' ale since Nightstone, but may Moradin watch over ye all the same. An' if 'e don't, tell 'im ah'll have words wit'im when next ah see 'im!"

"Lad, were I ye, ah'd be careful o' the suggestion that Lady Clarion be anythin' short o' a dragon, lest she take offense."

The other dwarves follow suit, and Clarion floats down on feathered wings that unfurl from her shoulder blades.
Zephyros stands at the edge of the hole. "Okay, yes, goodbye!" he calls to the uninvited guests.
