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.
"Seventy Five golden camels! Fabulous, Joan! Love the Camels!"
[1] Hmm. [4]
You leap up onto the guard rail around the deck and get about halfway through your first self promoting sentence before you slip and fall straight off. You luckily fall backwards and land painfully on the deck rather than forward and land fatally on the ground 100 feet below.
"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 get lowered down to the surface and begin shouting for the people to bring forth their leader, so that you may either parlay or wrestle him into submission. The heads in the windows continue to stare, but something moves from deep within the structure. Something big.
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.
You head to the ground along with Xan.
Dave knew an opportunity when he saw one.
Feats of strength, go!

You find a big piece of heavy wood and drag it out onto the deck. As casually and easily as possible, you lift it up and down with your head to show how strong you are. It's hard to tell how they feel about it, but you don't feel as tired as you expected to once you set it down.
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.

You're not really sure. Oh well, a little longer won't hurt.
You climb up to the top of the blown out crew quarters and look around. From your lofty position you can see several of the stones at the base of this mountain-tower begining to shift, forming a doorway. You don't think the other people on the ground can see it, its too far along the curve of the structure to be visible to them.
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.
Fakeedit: You know, the usual bullshit.

You slouch off and follow xan but can't work up the effort to be intimidating. Mostly you just hang around in the back, scratching your ears and yawning expansively.
Help perform. Nothing is better than being in front of an adoring audience!

After the cat falls down you attempt to do a dance to draw attention away from his failure. Its...kind of successful.
