Khessa's heart begins to race with excitement... Flying will be a real novelty for her - she has experienced it a few times indirectly, through Anator's senses, and the feeling has always seemed wonderful to her! And now... now she is going to fly directly!
'And with a pilot like this...' the blonde arcane warrior thinks, enjoying the feeling of safety that being practically in contact with her beloved dwarf gives her.
The tall adventuress puts her arms around Eric's waist, her armored chest touching his armored back, and she wraps her legs around the Wyvern's reptilian body and prepares to enjoy every single moment of that new exciting experience.
And with that Eric and Khessa take off, leaving Gundalin behind. The castle is easily spotted and your Wyvern is faster than the castle in flight. You hold back a bit to allow Zale and Calvin to catch up.
Khessa, already comforted by the close proximity with Eric, is now literally delighted by the spectacular panorama she enjoys in flight and the exhilarating sensation of the air blowing quickly on her face!
The blonde arcane warrior laughs heartily: "It's wonderful!" and turns to share the exhilarating moment with Zale too... noticing then that her dragonborn friend seems to be flying in the wrong direction, with perhaps less than perfect control of her Wyvern.
"Let's try to fly close to Zale and Calvin, Eric..." the tall adventuress advises "If they had too many 'difficulties', I'd like to be close enough to to be able to slow any falls with magic".
"HAHA! You thought I was in trouble didn't ya! HAH, I'll still be beating ye to that castle!"She directs the wyvern past her companions speeding to her destination.
"Zale! Incorrigible prankster!" Khessa laughs, relieved that her dragonborn friend was 'just pretending' to be in trouble "No way you can get there before us!"
The blonde arcane warrior continues to hold on (to Eric with her arms and to the Wyvern with her legs) and enjoys the feeling of freedom of flying through the skies, looking down at the world, which from above seems so insignificant, while the air whistles through her long blonde curls.
You both catch up with the castle. Noticing that it's a difficult landing Calvin calls upon nature's guidance: giving Zale a d4 on her check. This means she beats the DC for the landing (15).
When you get close you see 3 Ogres on each tower on the left side, and they notice you. The lower courtyard is heavily obscured by thick fog. The upper courtyard seems to be the best landing site for your Wyverns. The upper courtyard is lightly obscured by fog (to a height of 30 feet).
The upper courtyard is fine, as far as Khessa is concerned... Why rise suspicion by landing in uncomfortable places?
We are proud cultusts, with cult scabbards and cult banner...
There is someone we meet, as we land? If so, the blonde arcane warrior holds her hand out with all five fingers extended (giving her best 'Tiamat salute') and confidently pronounces: “Tiamat, our Mother and Strength!”
There doesn't seems to be anyone waiting for you (it's dark and misty however). But you feel the eye peering from the different towers. You're glad you've brought the banner.
Shortly after landing and while you're dismouting you hear a female voide call out to you: Well, well, what do we have here?
A female Moon Elf seems to materialize out of thin air. She walks towards the party with a wicked smile showing her pointy canines.
After having hed her hand out with all five fingers extended (giving her best 'Tiamat salute') and confidently pronounced: “Tiamat, our Mother and Strength!”, Khessa adds: "Yes, we've had setbacks. The Zhentarim are starting to get annoying. But we still managed to get there, of course. All hail our queen! Did you have any problems in Parnast before you left?"
She half-heartedly returns the signal before moving closer. No, no problems... Closer You? Even closer Why aren't you a lovely specimen? She places a hand Khessa's shoulder as she walk around her. Her breath feels cold and brings and sends shivers down your spine. Her undead aura is unmistakable as she asks: Tell me dear, would you like to live forever?
Calvin slides behind Zale on the Wyvern. That leaves the othe Wyvern to Khessa and Eric.
Getting ready to take off... I need the "pilots" to make another Animal Handling check.

(The curse....its spreading.... XD)
Zale and Calvin's Wyvern flies out of the barn at great speed, knocking Gundalin over. They're off to a flying start... in the wrong direction...
Calvin tries to help Zale by speaking softly to the Wyvern. [Zale has advantage on her next check]

Eric nods and directs his Wyvern closer to the other one
Animal handling with advantage: 19
That will do. Just as Eric and Khessa turn to check on you, you swing, graciously, in the direction of the castle. Acting as if you meant it that way.
[Next AH check for the landing please]

Eric looks back to see Khessa expression, he's delighted to see her enjoying the flight that way before starting landing
