Kit begins licking his finger tips and using them to flatten the disheveled and shabbier fur atop his head. “All we have to do is act natural, blend in and all that. And perhaps, a little distraction? Some light rain perhaps.”
@Dm What’s the weather like? Would be people be expecting rain, have umbrellas etc? Also, how long the bridge?
"I have an idea," Elero says, producing his newly-crafted Bag of Holding. "All of us should fit in here. If you carried it, Mark, and left the top open so we could breathe, you could go sneakily, or at least inconspicuously, across the bridge, and then let us out afterward." He adds, "Just don't close the bag. It's only got about ten minutes of air, and I breather faster when I'm nervous." Elero looks around. "Like now."
You can definitely try the Bag of Holding trick. Just a note that it will take a whole action to get out of the Bag of Holding, so if Mark runs into trouble, you won't be able to do anything about it for a whole round.
"I can wild shape into an animal or something to join you from outside the bag of holding Mark."
((DM: what kind of animals would Erix have seen as being walked around by people?))

Yep, we're trading the chance that most of us will be in the bag if combat starts for a greater chance that combat won't ever start and we'll get across the bridge unnoticed.

As the rest of you climb into the Bag of Holding, Erix turns into his rat form and scurries into Mark's pocket.
Mark steps out onto the skybridge and joins the rush of people heading to the lift down to the station. At first, all seems fine. But then as you take a few steps, two harpies fly overhead, clearly on patrol.
Mark will through up his hood and try to blend into the crowd. This shouldn't be hard since he is a native of the city and has learned (with his background as street Urchin) how to avoid attention from others.
Mark slips through the crowd with Erix in his pocket, avoiding the seaching eyes of the harpies flying overhead. Just as he approaches the gate on the other side of the skybridge, he looks up to see another harpy sitting on the parapet above the bridge on the other side. This harpy is larger than the others with piercing yellow eyes, and is watching every person going into the tower with that hawkish gaze.
You can tell that stealthing past this harpy will be harder (DC 15 Stealth). Or you could try another tactic, maybe trying something to gain Advantage on the stealth check.
Elero will shiver at the breath. "I don't know," he mutters, "but I'll take the quiet as a good sign. Hope he remembers to keep the bag a bit open so we keep getting air."
Mark's supreme stealth, gets him past Myshra the Harpy, her hardly noticing anyone passed by at all.
He enters a stone hallway that is covered in graffiti. Crude paintings and phrases such as "TYRANTS RULE!" and "CYRANS GO HOME!" adorn the walls and ceiling. You see the doors to the lift at the end of the hall close as a group of commuters go down to the station. It'll be a few minutes before another lift comes up. You seem alone in this hallway.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Can Mark look around for any thieves cant that might give him some advantage what to expect at the train station. He also makes sure that the bag is open a little for air.
Being able to read between the lines with the writing on the wall, you gather that this hall is somehow a secret entrance to the Daask safe house. When you examine a part of the hallway, you see the outline of a secret door and a small peephole. Through which you catch the glimpse of an eye that quickly moves away from the peephole and closes the latch so all you see if darkness.
(Mark is rolling incredibly well, i'm just waiting for that inevitable Nat 1.)

How far down is the station from us?

Mark will rub his chin as he thinks, "I am fine with trying that if the Gods will allow it."
It is starting do drizzle on the bridge outside.

you could absolutely be any beast listed in whatever rules you have access to. Common animals would be something like the Blood Hawk or Mastiff

(I would want to have something small since we are trying our best to be sneaky and unseen.)
(How about a rat?)

Mark steps out onto the skybridge and joins the rush of people heading to the lift down to the station. At first, all seems fine. But then as you take a few steps, two harpies fly overhead, clearly on patrol.
What is Mark going to do?
Mark will through up his hood and try to blend into the crowd. This shouldn't be hard since he is a native of the city and has learned (with his background as street Urchin) how to avoid attention from others.
Stealth: 18
Kit feels uncomfortably close in the bag. Elero can feel the feline’s humid breath against his neck.
“are we there yet?”
Mark slips through the crowd with Erix in his pocket, avoiding the seaching eyes of the harpies flying overhead. Just as he approaches the gate on the other side of the skybridge, he looks up to see another harpy sitting on the parapet above the bridge on the other side.

You can tell that stealthing past this harpy will be harder (DC 15 Stealth). Or you could try another tactic, maybe trying something to gain Advantage on the stealth check.
(If Erix is with me can he use an action to aid me in the roll and give me advantage?)
stealth: 19 or 22 (take the highest if you want to grant advantage or take the first one if not.)
Elero will shiver at the breath. "I don't know," he mutters, "but I'll take the quiet as a good sign. Hope he remembers to keep the bag a bit open so we keep getting air."
