Nice!
Plop down in the gazebo swing before anyone else can steal the seats. Look around for magical doodads.
Drip immediately wanders off, scuttles across the stepping stones, and plops down in the swing, stretching out across it. He rocks back and forth, looking for "magical doodads". [3] Eh. Everything here is technically a magical doodad. Including him.
Go have a look at the giant ball of fire with the moustache, including through the eye of the needle. Then ask it to give its account of what happened here.
Provided it can talk. Otherwise, just sort of peer at stuff.

You wander to the solid ground nearest the ball of flame and peer through your needle at it. At the core of the ball of flame is a sort of tangle, what look kind of like plant roots but knotting and wriggling like worms. You shout up at him about the events transpiring and he shouts back down, "Something has the whole tower quite upset. I'm not sure what. After all, I'm just here to look pretty." He follows that last line with a guffaw and slaps his knee.
How's my needle's magic storage right now? I had that oil slick rainbow earlier but used it once to make a bubble shield against the shockwave and debris from the frog landing.
Continue observing the area and the beings here, while listening to the frog talk about stick things and picture books.
"So, Speaker, what happened to you anyway? Get hit by one of those magic missiles? Forget to block with your needle? If I get some magic in my needle I'll help you out a bit. I'll even spend some effort to make sure it doesn't backfire. Gotta watch each others' backs out in the worlds, right?"

Bob looks around the room. He looks around the room while walking. He falls straight into the metal swamp.
As previously mentioned its not hot or anything, but the fluid is still as heavy and dense as as normal metal. The result being, of course that when he falls in he never even gets more than a few inches in before immediately bobbing back up to the surface. He's not in any immediate danger but actually standing up or moving around is like trying to stand on ice but worse. He ends up splayed on his back, slowly spinning.
The speaker waits for the rest of the group to arrive before addressing the toad.
“Yes we’re humonculi. We were sent here on a mission from the Magi. Only problem is that, when we arrived, the ruined tower we were in was being shelled with artillery by a bunch of mundanes, and one of my compatriots (in a fit of abject selfishness) thought it would be a great idea to remove the ability of the the tower to protect us so he could put it in his robe, which resulted in me almost getting killed.
…
By the way, who is this ‘Elias’? Is he a healer? Because I could really use one right now.”

"Sorry, the cannon balls were from upstairs. They're angry and don't know what to do. They say Elias is hurt and they're trying to get the one that did it, even though they don't know who it is." She sounds somewhat exasperated with whoever is upstairs.
" Elias is the mage who made this tower, and me and everything here. I think he's upstairs right now, way up in his rooms at the top. That's where he keeps all his books and stuff. The cannons say he's hurt, but I don't know what's going on. Everyone is just...running around! No one seems to know anything for sure, they just say they heard things from upstairs. I think you should go check on Elias. I can call the elevator for you. He hasn't come down to see me in a while. I'm worried about him; he seemed nervous last time I saw him. He tried not to let me know but I could tell. He was looking at everything really carefully. Staring at it, you know? He said something weird too. He said..." She bobs up and down a bit, looking down at the water surface and concentrating,
"Subvert? That...Something had been subverted...and that it was dangerous. I don't know what that means."
She's speaking rapidly and somewhat disjointedly, telling you everything she can think of.
