The eagle and aarakocra shaman are long gone. I do appreciate the fact that you seem to be trying to move this along though.

Should I just assume that the group will be traveling in the same fashion as before?

Wyntar addresses the party now that Rabbit is better we must make haste, I agree our lives have been and will continue to be in danger throughout the rest of our journey. I do not believe splitting the party is wise, we will be stronger defensively as a group. Remember, there is Evil that does not want to be stopped and we are invading its territory. Let us be off...

Xano - Gathers herself and follows Halo and Wyntar down the trail. Lets be off. The sooner we complete this trek to tower the better. I would prefer to keep my feet on the ground anyways. It is easier to fight that way.

safe to assume we are all headed to the tower place.

Yes that is where the Eagle had told to go to look for flying fish.

Are you going with the same marching order and the usual scouting tactics?

The group decides to hike the 3 days it takes to get to Mt. Everglow instead of taking the Paladins advice on devising a flight plan to get there much more quickly. (or should I say, bypass it completely) This decision does not bode well for party.....

The first days hike seems to be going by quickly despite the worsening weather. Morgi, in his eagle form, scouts out ahead and to the sides of the party. He can't soar quite as high now due to the lowering cloud cover and lightning danger, but he flies so much more quickly than the party walks, he covers serious ground by flying up to a mile ahead of them at times.

After nearly a full days travel, things begin to go bad. The weather is terrible as usual, with dark skies and the constant threat of rain or snow. The look of the entire mountain range is dreary and unwelcoming, the glow of the distant tower is the only thing lighting up the skyline.

Around early evening, just as the group is ready to find a place to camp for the night, Xano witnesses a disturbing sight. She sees Morgi make one last big sweep in the direction you are heading before returning to join the party. Xano has been watching the Druid closely, especially when she is the only one that can still see him from a great distance.

Suddenly, Morgi's flight path is drastically altered. It looks as though he was either swatted in mid air by something unseen or flew into some invisible force that he careened off of. In any case, the Druid now looks to be dropping out of the sky.

Xano does not see anything else in the sky other than the plummeting Druid. She estimates that he is easily over 3,000 feet away from the party at the moment and about 500 feet in the air.

Actions!

Nuke, PM sent.

You can see Mt. Everglow a little better now that you are closer.

Xano- Something has happened to Morgi! It looks as though she hit a wall! She falling from the sky! She is about 3000 feet ahead. She points to the air where Morgi is falling. Can anybody help him? I can see nothing else in the air.

Excitedly, Blodget produced the Potion of Flight he had palmed earlier. "Here, Mira!"

"Don't you a ring that can move you instantly Xano? Can it blink you that far?" the paladin asks quickly

While the rest of the group stresses over how to help the druid, Xano notices him being battered again. This time she can see a yellowish mist and a few feathers that were ripped out of the eagle that are now falling to the ground.

It looks like Morgi has gained control and is flying again. He seems to be rapidly attempting to get back to the group.

"Can anyone see through the veil of invisibility? Something hidden is attacking Morgi! We should get ready," Halo says stringing his bow.
