But yeah, I don't see Taiyang showing up to help Ruby, but I could see him showing up to fight the Dragon. I would like to see something of what's going on in Patch. Is it getting attacked by Grimm like the mainland? Are they seeing what's happening to Vale through Mercury's broadcast but can't communicate themselves? Are the Signal teachers trying to squad it up to go to Vale and help?

I would like to see something like Taiyang is about to get on a boat to Vale and Raven shows up:

Taiyang is like: Wut?

Raven: Do you remember the dragon in the mountain?

Taiyang: Yes.

Raven: It's out.

Taiyang: *insert chain of insults* WTF do we do now?

Raven: If you were it, would you expect to get attacked from above?

I can't see much being done with Patch since no one relevant is alledgedly on the island (Ruby and Yang near Beacon. Taiyang on a mission). I would still say that it is most likely safe. It is away from Vale, and currently the main draw for Grimm would be people in the city.
 * queue Taiyang falling from one of Raven's portals in the sky and landing on the dragon*

Though speaking of other locations, it does make you wonder about what is happening at places like Signal though. Since that academy was seemingly close enough to Beacon that the airship ride revealed it during the Second Chapter of Volume One.

And lol! Though, I really can't see Raven showing up to help Taiyang. Qrow's description really puts her in a lone wolf position. And honestly, with the whole Summer, Raven, and Taiyang love triangle... would not be surprised if she had a little bit of animosity towards him.
