The first thing that Ink notices is a note of telepathic alarm from Quill.
The next thing, which all those outside see, is a shadow suddenly passing over—something was coming at you from out of the noonday sun, and quickly.
As you squint skyward, you see the silhouette of a huge dragon gliding towards the tower. Several humanoids appear to be clutched it its talons! The dragon flairs its wings to land, and disappears on the far side of the tower.
"DRAGON!!!" Ink exlcaims. "With soldiers in tow!"
Ink rushes towards the landing site, activating his Spellsong, so that he can run just a tad faster!
"Zephyros - a dragon has landed on your cloud!"
//From what I remember, there's only one way in/out of the lower level, so I guess we have to go around the tower to the landing site.//
"Quill - go harass Zephyros, make sure he's awak from any sort of revelry!"
//Any chance that Ink got a look at what type of dragon or the identifying marks on the soldiers? - I'm going to guess no for now, but Ink will be looking for details to identify them with as soon as he sees them again. //
//DM question - would this have occurred before my first Mage Armor ended for the day, or after my second enchantment / short rest - the difference is only one spell slot really, but I'd like to know for tactical purposes... thanks! //

// It's currently just a bit before noon, so your call on when your day started. //
As you run around to the left side of the tower to try and get a look at the dragon, you can see that the humanoids it was carrying were armored dwarves. The dwarves have tumbled onto the cloudtop, and each quaffs some sort of potion. Instantly, they disappear in a cloud of mist, and the mist rises slowly towards the tower. The silver dragon then begins to take to the sky again.

//Before noon? In that case, on first Mage Armor, probably 4-5 hours in, and one 1st level spell slot used. Thanks! //
"They are attacking Zephryos! If they kill him we'll fall!" Marav runs toward the quickest way to get to where the mist is entering changing into a Giant Spider while running.
// BTW the dragon was carrying armored dwarves, and they have just turned themselves into mist. Sorry if that wasn't clear from my first post! I updated it. //

You can see that the mist is rising steadily up, and is now about 40 feet above the cloud terrain and rising. It's also about 15-20 feet away from the tower.

"Shite..... To the tower! To Zephyros! Someone give me their rope!" Ink will grab whoever offers him their rope first and then will dash towards the interior of the tower and when he's underneath the open spot where Zephyros goes in and out of, Link will cast levitate and push off from the ground straight up... after his first round of movement, I believe he can move 40' per round with the levitate (his Spellsong movement), he'll move another 40' the second round after casting levitate and then cast Misty Step as a bonus action to get an extra 30' of movement in that second round.
//Ink's intent once up there is to tie the two ropes together and hang it down from one of the places Quill scouted out earlier, he'll use the grappling hook if he must - but that'll depend on the situation once he gets up there... //
//DM Questions: 1)Would Angel know that Metallic Dragons typically being good-aligned creatures? 2)Is there any kind of insignia on the dragon, or any that he saw on the dwarfs before they became mist, that would indicate where they came from? I.E. Are they with the Cult of Dragons or the Zhenterim or any other large military group?//
If not than Angel will make his way towards the entrance and will help Ink by giving him a rope.

// 1. That seems reasonable. 2. Please make a Perception check! //
//Is there a window the misty-dwarves are heading through? If so I want to head straight up the tower toward it (assuming I can fit through it). Also, can I use a little web to make sure that Rip doesn't fall off?//
"Oh, look; a dragon. Maybe he came by just to say Hi"
Angel will hurry to the other side to see where the dragon went to.
"Incoming!" Marav yells, bring his bow out and taking aim. "Rip, if you want a ride if I change get out here!"
