"That is...different," Shayra said. "This world is so unlike the one I came from."

"Yours sounds interesting, too," said Blue-Wings.  "...hey, are those things flying towards us?"

"What things?" Shayra asked as she tried to spot whatever it was.

There appeared to be a number of flying creatures coming in their direction...

Perception roll to get details while they're still far away

There appeared to be about a dozen winged quadrupeds, but she could see the sunlight glinting off of the metal in gear they were wearing.  There were no signs of riders, however.  They were accompanied by a larger quadruped, with a long twisting tail, but no wings.  It appeared to be galloping on the air, striking sparks as it ran, reflecting off of a covering that was perhaps not fur.  Scales or skin?  The others seemed to be moving in response to it.

And it had no rider, either.

"I don't know!" said Books, excited.  "Isn't that wonderful?  Two new creatures, possibly civilized peoples, and the day's just starting!"

"...yeah, that's the question," said Blue-Wings.

As they came closer, it was clear that they were armored and armed, which was not a good sign.  They weren't rushing, and their weapons weren't actually drawn as yet (and how would quadrupeds even use them?) but there were definitely too many to fight.

"Try to talk it out, I guess," said Blue-Wings.  "No way we can outrun them."

The flying forces approached; it was now clear that most of them were... griffins?  But armed and armored griffins, with spurs on their claws, and lances mounted to their harness.

But the others!  Some strange combination of dragon and horse, flying in the air without wings, armed with polearms that they carried in fore-claws... They would arrive in just a moment.

They weren't actually attacking, from the way their weapons were positioned...

Insight check, plz

It was hard to tell what they wanted, but it appeared that they were flying in to surround the party.  Their weapons remained sheathed for the moment.

They landed, surrounding Shayra and her friends.  The griffins were on all fours; the draconic creature landed on all fours, but reared up on its hind legs.

"Strangers, what do you so close to the Great City of Bells?" is asked in a deep, rumbling voice.

"Ah, but if your tale is so great, you must tell it to The Great Master," snarled the dragon-thing.  "You will all come with us, now."
