During the flight around Thay, Poljen asks Poppo for any sort of map of the general area they are going, if such exists within the castle. If not, maybe one can be obtained from Irdeith via the daily portal update. His desire is to have Poppo bring the castle to within 10 miles or so of the gnome's fortress, say the next valley over or something along those lines, so he can send his eagle out for a recon mission while he sees through the eagle's eyes. "Once we have an idea of the deployment of Cyanwrath's forces, we can plan our next move… "
Tazskan, spends some time inspecting the ballista's. Even having, a mock practice with them, showing Callahans men, and the kobolds. He demonstrates, how to use the two manned machine.
He also, inspects the Wyvern's and even takes out time to feed them. Pieces of meat, and fruit. Engaging with the kobolds, in draconian, showing off the castles firepower.
Also these magnificent flying creatures, Wyverns hoping to fly with one in the future. Although they appear, riding age between 5 and 7yrs old.

Gaelin stays asleep for the next two days. When he awakes, his memory over the past few years is spotty. But otherwise his mind seems to be whole. He introduces himself as a former temple acolyte, one who had been studying to become a priest of the elven deity Corellon Larethian.
He and his sister both ask to remain with the group, in part in hopes of repaying the debt incurred, but also because they believe in the Blaze's cause. They would not be leaving much behind, the rest of their kin had died in the same accident that left Gaelin wounded. Sylmae had sold their family home a long time ago to pay for the early attempts at treatment, and had only moved to Everlund for work to pay for the healing potions that kept his wounds from festering and killing him all this time.
Poljen finds that maps on hand for the region in question are a bit… spotty. A map obtained from Chasorth is a bit better, showing a densely wooded area striped with hills and valleys. From the looks of it, finding a place to set the castle down unseen will not be a notable issue.
Progress with the wyverns has been slow, but they're coming around. You suspect that some of the less stubborn ones could be ridden already, but there's enough of a question mark involved that sticking to less temperamental methods remains the safer course.
While the rest of the party listens to the detailed narrative exposition explaining the almost heartbreaking backstories of Cratol's Crew, Perry can be seen in the background standing near a wall. He is holding a quill in his hand and appears to have placed a large sheet of paper against the wall with the following words at the top of it in a large, readable font, "Potential Book Titles."
Below that, several titles are written:
A Song of Silver and Blaze
How to Charm Friends and Influence Kobolds
Fifty Shades of Blaze
The Adventures of HucklePerry Finn
There and Back Again: Perry's Tail
Drama on the High Castle
Where the Wyvern Things Are

Cratol is very happy for Sylmae and Gaelin when he awakes and feels like himself again. He Thanks Lawrence and Lia for their help in healing Gaelin. After that he spends more of his time perfecting his skills as he knows they are soon to be involved in fighting once again. He will spend time with Sylmae as much as possible.
Zarra was disappointed to see the fortune telling end as suddenly as it did, having watched an interest as Perry took on the role of the Warlock Unknown. Deciding to stay out of the way of those working to heal the newcomers. If the drow us able to do so, after he calms down, she will ask, "Perhaps I may have my fortune told at some point?" She believed it mere tricks perhaps, yet still a lot of fun.
On hearing of the success of the operation, encountering the match of the shards before removing them, the drow will say to Sylmae involving Gaelin, "I'm glad that your brother was able to be healed and have the shards removed, I too hope that he will awake as you once remembered him." Zarra meant these words, and offers en encouraging if hesitant smile. Not sure how Sylmae might react to the drow.
Zarra will also suggest another title, something along the lines of **: Castle in the Sky or such. Since that could very much be a story to write.
Out of Character: ** Whatever the name of their flying ship, as I have admittedly forgotten.

Meanwhile, as the awkward conversation doesn't continue, Perry continues writing down potential titles:
Sky Castle: A Castle in the Sky
The Popular and Passionate Parables of Peregrine Pennington
Blazing It: A Collection of Tales on Seer's Tabac
The Purple Hair of Courage
Poljen the Barbarian: King of the Sword Coast
Pastries and Penningtons
Over the Sune: An Adoption Tale
Velon Rodaan and the Sorcerer's Scale
Velon comes by to check in on their guests and sees what Perry is working on. He chuckles and says "Well it is clear to me that the last one is best." "For the sake of modesty, however, might I suggest… hm… how about 'Dungeons & Dragons: A Tiefling's Tail', and that's T-A-I-L, by the way!
Out of Character: Full meta. I may have just created some sort of universe ending paradox.
