Zarra will also consider both the castle on the cave, thing if there was any information she could glean by studying it or that may be recognizable about it. Though admittedly, she wasn't studied in history or the arcana.

As Lawrence peppers Zarra with questions regarding her heritage, Poppo puts his hand up to shield his mouth while leaning over to Velon and speaking in a whisper, "Boy, that Lawrance guy sure talks a lot. Does he ever breathe?"

As the group made its way into the cave, Poppo looked wide-eyed at the castle. He wracked his brain to think of anything that he might have heard about such a place.

Poppo can see Velon grin and stifle a laugh, his cheeks growing red and his upper body tensing. "Think you can fly that thing, dear Wizard?" He leans the other way towards Lora a bit, still within earshot of Poppo. "Although I'm here for the mask, we don't need to steal wagons full of gold if they are already in OUR flying castle." He grins mischievously.

"Can anyone see inside that cave? My lowly human eyes don't do well in this fog."

Lawrance realizes that this is one of the floating castles that the Cloud Giants of Faerun are famous for. Exactly how it ended up in the hands of this cult is not immediately apparent, as an alliance seems unlikely.

With that realization, a few odd details become clear about the scale of this place. Everything is just a little off on apparent size. If it was all built for creatures that stood a little under 20 feet in height, then it is obvious why.

Investigating the cave entry reveals that it was cut relatively recently, the tool marks are still fresh. There are also a few gouges in the stone, it looks like a creature with large claws has scrabbled for footing there once or twice. As far as darkvision can pierce, the large tunnel beyond the entry appears to be clear.

Passing his information onto the group, he ponders "I wonder what makes those marks? Dragon landing port? That cave still gets my vote."

"If the Godslayer has shown us that a white dragon may be about then I would think a cave is a very good place for it to hide. I think the walls are a safe bet right now. Get up from the rear as they are all distracted from the front."

With what is being explained the insight that Lawrance has involving the castle, Zarra cannot help but grew a bit concerned as she says, "A castle built by cloud giants, how will we even navigate through it? With the size of everything inside, I could see there being quite a few hazards while were there." Though with this question did come the consideration that the cult had probably made a few renovations to make it easier for them to navigate within, so perhaps her concern was without need.

Velon is silent for a moment as he considers their options, also allowing time for any more opinions. "Giants and maybe full on dragons, you say?" He pauses once again. "Knowing we may be walking into the den of a dragon as big as that cave and doing so anyway seems like it could be regrettable. Being exposed atop the walls is risky, but likely offers more options and eyes on what is happening once we're there."

"Cratol, Lora, get us up there, would you? Poljen should be one of the first to go along with other stealthy folk to take out any nearby guards. Louder brutes with me in the back. You all know what to do. Take out any guards that might see us, near or far."

"Could someone's familiar watch and see how many of the enemy in the town board the castle and report?"

"Lora, if anything happens and someone doesn't make it up this wall for any reason, we'll need you to get them up somehow with your flight."

"Let's go!"
