It was getting a bit miffed about something evil there, claiming it was a violation of the contract that kept it bound and quiet for the last several thousand years.
Technically, in-world, they're still in early winter 251 AC. So about the same time you all were with the dwarves. Which makes me glad they managed to pull off defeating the evil thing without their fall-back of "get everyone out and let the caldera blow."
On a purely selfish note, I am also pleased that the Volcano didn't blow as that might put Yonas's homeland under a lot of ash.
Wait, didn't Dil do a song about a volcano?
