Aerith gathers some materials to make some wings, and then waves over Lyra. "Here you go lyra, you seem strong and capable in wind magic so I'm going to put wings on you first. You'll be good to carry the bulk of our stuff right?"

He casts the spell and grafts some wide-spanned skeletal wings on the back of lyra, with skin pulled over to make them resemble those of a bat, creating the advantage Fleshwarp: Bat Wings. Afterwards he does this to everyone else as well.

Shyrrik Zylcyne

Shyrrik gives a nod to the others. "I should be able to shapeshift into to help convey us to our destination." Thinking for a moment. "Though it will likely be quite a laborious journey. May be wise to go grab maps and such of the areas we will be covering. So we will know where we can stop and rest safely while travelling." With that he he would see about acquiring dungeon floor maps so they could be well prepared for the journey ahead. As well as gathering up some needed food and particularly getting plenty of water should it be needed. Just in case.

Kukil spends some time shopping for materials for their journey.

When she is done in town, Kukil returns to the others to finish their preparations. However, Kukil frowns as she listens to the others' contributions to the plan. "I'm sorry. I don't really have much in the way of contributing to our plan for flight. I could attempt to ignite fire beneath our feet to help propel us and provide us some lift, but it is not something I've attempted before."

This discipline allows you to fly for short bursts (Athletics), push and pull the air (Physique/casting skill), and even attack with it (Shoot). You can create an advantage to allow yourself or someone else to fly for longer periods of time (casting skill). The difficulty for creating an advantage to allow flight should be around Fantastic (+6). You can also animate the air into a creature capable of following commands (Provoke), starting at a Good (+3) difficulty. Wrestler: Your unarmed attacks rely on brute strength rather than on technique. You may make such attacks against other humans with Physique rather than Fight. Grappler: +2 to Physique rolls made to create advantages on an enemy by wrestling or grappling with them. Hammerlock:  (requires Wrestler.) Whenever you have hold of someone and they fail to overcome your hold, you deal 2 shifts of physical stress to them. Wind Walker: +2 to create advantage with athletics while flying  The Wind’s Blessing: +2 to defend with athletics vs ranged attacks

 

Lyra nodded at Aerith comfortable with them having worked together in the past. “Yes I’ve been gifted air magic, and I am generally the strongest person in the room. Your assumptions are correct Aerith. I will gladly take your blessing or wings to aid us.”
 

Lyra takes in the group, “Small contributions and effort are all appreciated. Every person contributes to the well being of the tribe. However temporary that is what we are to me while we work together.”

Lyra flexes her new wings and whistles up some wind letting it fill them like sails raising her up off of her boots for a moment. “This will work well, thank you Aerith.”

 

Lyra then goes about preparing the supplies for their trek. A net, and then an oil cloth tarp are laid on the ground, and then their supplies are placed before she pulls the tarp together synching it closed to it’s a separate rope. Finally everything secured for travel she tests it’s heft. Her wrym bone prosthetic writhed. The generally hidden tail end wound it’s way out from under her cloak and wove its way through the net and back in on itself tightening itself into a knot securing the supplies.
 

The wyrm bone arm flexed and rose from the ground. “This should work fine.”

Lyra managed pull majority of the transportation off without much of a problem, relying on the skills and items that were presented before take off. But as the team continued onto the 3rd floor, Aerith's ability to safely navigate the team had quickly withered away. Unable to get a clear view due to the dense forest below Aerith led the group the resting area that would be hard to traverse out of. Exploring the area they would notice that in order to get into decent positioning or enter into another zone they would have to traverse downward from a steep slope that was riddled with trees. In their current position the Fort was only a mile away, but Orc Scouts were bound to be in the area.

The current area had sustained a block called (Steep Slope +3)

 

The Goal of this Quest is to gain positive information related to the Fort and the Human who may be working alongside Orcs.

Hearing Lyra mention setting up a perimeter, Kukil shapes a mound of earth into a makeshift chair before sitting down on it. She then leans slightly forward, moving her hands in small motions as she focuses on crafting a spell. Focusing on the ground in front of her, she attempts to summon a small earth creature resembling that of a large mole. However, she is unfamiliar with the soil in the area, and the spell fizzles into nothing.

Aerith pulls some bones out of his bag, resembling a small bird which should help with observation. As he focuses the energy he speaks. "Rise now songbird, blessed by your master with eyes of an eagle. Keep watch for us so we may be safe." It looks like he's doing well, but at the end the spell struggles to form, locking power with the natural inertia of death. "well... that isnt good"

As the team struggled to get their baring's after the long travel, Aerith would hear something in the distance. Screams of a human woman could be heard coming towards their direction from a distance of the East. Looking down onto the well traversed path a small group of 3 orcs could be seen carrying a woman tied upside down by her feet by ropes and a large stick. The woman was red in the face due to all of the blood traveling to her head and her armor was clearly destroyed. From the looks of it she was an adventurer.
