The original reason was twofold: one for Claude, one for Tyrogatore.
Claude was going to talk about dragons and his situation. That was half taken care of with the battle, and then after Claude's discussion it ended with the Halfling Dragonslayer being released and allowed to train Claude as long as they hunted none of several color of dragons (those that typically live in Scalehome). Claude then left with the dragonslayer.
As for the Tyrogatore reason, you hope that the great lizard has some insight into the plight of Tyrogatore in the Great Forest. Grant, who has now met up with you again. I believe through Sendings, has indicated that more of the great leaders of your faith have gone missing in the past two years, and all in the vicinity of the Great Forest
Specifically:
Bartlet Felltree, Graplore champion 675, has gone missing in the past six months
Hervaniori the Untouchable, Keeper of Wrestling and Boronk ek Korda, has been missing since he left to become high cleric years ago
Valizar, competitor in the Palumbton tournament, you know from your last visit to Habastalai, missing for over a year
Kellen Brownclaw, master of Emenotan, has gone missing in the past six months
In addition, Grant has been traveling the forest, and has noticed in a few, but not all or a lot, towns; the clerics of Tyrogatore have gone missing in a variety of ways, included sometimes dead.
