Tazskan, replies to Ignazio, "Ignazio, you misunderstand my meaning here. I'm referring to the castle, as in assistance with its upkeep, and guarding it. We on the other hand, may be required to venture out"?
Protanther begins carefully sealing the lockbox as Silas answers Lawrance, "Five of the ten guardians to the Well are of Tiamat, enough of them must have been persuaded to look the other way to allow them safe entry."
Protanther tucks the box behind him, as if there was a shelf or something there, there is a faint ripple, and then it is simply gone.
Rather stiffly, Protanther states, "For your actions, you have earned a major boon from the council. I suggest considering what you ask for carefully."
Poljen shrugs and says, "Besides helping us bring our companion Zarra back, we need a new spirit to make this castle fly again. We let the storm giant queen's spirit go after we landed. She was most helpful to us while still flying it." He turns to Velon. "Maybe they can help us with these things, eh? If not, maybe they can help us talk to the storm giants Esclarotta told us about!"
Cratol bows to the dragons and tells them. "The castle is powered by a large strong air elemental most of the time. But the Giantess was placed there by her husband when she fell ill to be with her loved ones until they passed. But the castle was over ran and they were all killed and she was trapped. We released her from her prison once we cleared the castle and brought it here. If you could provide a air elemental to provide the energies needed to fly this caste once again that would be grand. There is no necromancy required from what I understand"
Lawrance grins at the misunderstanding “My bulky friend here misstated the need. This castle is powered by the energies of an air elemental. Due to a strange sort of situation, the cloud giant king who originally owned it tried to save his wife from a terminal illness by putting her spirit into the engine instead. The cults slew the king and his people to take the castle, and have been using the Queen as the power source ever since. We freed her when we landed, but still need an air elemental of sufficient size to power our flight. NO necromancy involved. But he is also right about wanting to raise the one of our party who passed over and restore her. “.
Out of Character: : aw, man! You beat me to it!

Mollified, the dragon posing as a man nods, "That could be done. If that is what you wish, we can arrange the services of an expert on the elemental planes to obtain what you need."
"As to your fallen companion, Otaaryliakkarnos, I believe you are capable of such?"
She nods, "Yes, though the ritual consumes a diamond of notable value. Were there any such gems found here?"
Out of Character: Hint, answer's yes, several diamonds among Glazhael's stash are of sufficient value. And to be clear, no, they would not be counting Zarra's Resurrection as the promised boon. If you're providing the gemstone, that is something they'll do freely.
