The reason for the noise is the appearance of a dragon - The Messenger. Talk to it first, but you will need to fight regardless of what is said during the conversation. The Messenger isn't particularly dangerous because it fights alone and lacks significant special skills or behaviors. The only help the dragon gets are resurrected heralds, called Luminous Revenant, but they're really easy to kill. The characters, who are able to attacks from a distance should be placed on the elevated ground near the entrance to Harbinger's Retreat, and the rest should get close and deal damage.
