Now, at last, we have an audience. You, Fire guy! Make with the flames and put on a show, will ya? These people look starved for entertainment. let's impress 'em. Someone put on some music! Something with a beat! Ryan! Dave! You two are the biggest ones here. Come up and wave for the nice people. That'll impress them for sure!

Sebastian encourages the crew to put on a performance for the people, hyping their various stats - especiallly Dave and Ryan's size, what's 'er name's musical talent, Xan's flashiness, and the Bird and Orb's aerial acrobatics. Meanwhile, he continues his schtick for the audience, telling the Tale of the Evil Forest, the Epic duel of the Angry Fire Wizard and the Summoner of Calming Waters (at which point he preens a bit), and the many mighty beings he has brought forth to enrich the world with their unique talents and passions.

Fake Edit: You know, the usual bullshit.

"No."

Head down from the warbeast and approach the people. Ask if they have a leader of any kind, and if they do I'd like to speak to them.

You talking about Xan, or yourself?

Pop my mind-bullet-pill into the mouth of my talking skull, just in case that works.
Also follow Xanny.

I invite other characters to participate. if none do, the foolishness that Sebastian incites affects mainly him. If, on the other hand, someone unilaterally dictates where we go, when, and how, well, that's a different thing. Sebastian has no control over anything external to himself. He is a weaker character than even your limbless orb.

((True, it's probably too controlling of an action, and I'm thinking about ways to change it while still getting the primary intent across. Xan's trying to exert his authority without having to get into a fight again (or kicking Sebastian off the warbeast since I don't want to kick him out entirely), and that was the easiest way I saw to do that when I did see the turn. There's probably ways to do that without going full dictator modo, it's just hard for me to see them.))

And now that you've done the nice thing, time to complain about it!

Dave knew an opportunity when he saw one.

Feats of strength, go!

You won't get to the center any quicker by running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Don't you know anything about character development and story progression? Sometimes, you aren't the brightest ember in the coal pit, my friend!

Does the skullfruit look edible and ripe? If yes, pick it with my beak and see if it's any good.

If not, climb up to a high place and survey the area for now.

Upon request Ryan hobbles on visible spot on the warbeast and shouts with his adorable voice:

"Hello people! I'm hungry!"

Ryan! Dave! You two are the biggest ones here.

Be offended. Glare at Cat. Glare at Xan. Follow Xan anyway. Try to look intimidating. Keep an eye out for things that need shooting and/or running away from.
