Sim leads the group off, heading at a fast pace. In the first hour, the prints are fairly easy to track. A slip on some thawing ice. A patch of fur from the wolves. Small signs. The group of goblins appears to be moving rather quickly, but you don't think they're hurried. Just a group of wolves and the small scuff marks of someone on foot who seems to keep pace with the wolves. The second hour it gets tougher. The goblin group heading into rocks and stone. Their tracks becoming more difficult.
It's in the third hour that signs of their path is lost. Sim, you're unsure if they split up, or you just took a wrong turn believing they went this way. But you're fairly certain that the trail has turned cold. Looking around, you do know that you haven't lost much time if you decided to go to the temple. While it's been three hours of tracking, you're still going in a similar direction to the temple.
Not too far away, above you all, is a large sound of birds. About a dozen white-hawks nestled into the cliffside around what seems to be a series of large nests all made near one another. A skeletal hand can be seen with some of the building materials, some kind of ring on it's finger while it glistens in the sunlight. The nest is about 50 feet up, and currently, about 40 feet away from the nearest spot to climb.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sim tells everyone to wait there for a moment and backtracks to see if he missed the trail somewhere. survival8
(If he rolls poorly he will return to the others and tell them he lost the trail. If he rolls well he will tell them that he found it and we can decide what to do about the cliff, birds, and ring.)

Sim comes back after about 20 minutes empty handed.
The sounds of the white-hawks continues. Sometimes flying off and returning.
Abigail begins to move over to the wall, beginning to climb up. But, she doesn't make it very far. The keen eyes of the white-hawks looking at her and screeching an alarm as they begin to take into the air. Abigail jumps down, landing softly on the ground while the birds begin to circle and prepare to attack. But, as she jumps down, Abigail can see there's a odd looking stick with a gem attached to the top of it also inside that nest.
Round 1 (Begin)
Setup: Abigail is near the wall that the nest with some rings on it are on. She's about 50 feet away from being able to reach over and grab what's in the nest. The white-hawks are breaking up into three distinct hunting groups (A, B, C) The first two groups each have four, while the third only has three. They're about 55 feet in the air as each begins to move around.
Diadochi looks at his warhammer, and then his hand axe, then at the whitehawk so very far out of range of his hand axe... He starts yelling at the hawks "You there! see here! If you would just let her take that ring this would be over in a moment!" Seeing that this has no effect on the birds "I say, she is under my protection and I won't have you assaulting my charge." He then starts to climb the the cliff athletics12
Looking up at the sky, Abigail notes, "I hate birds..." Eyeing the nest she hesitates a moment before exclaiming, "Shit!" and then starts toward the nest.
Again, in case you need an Athletics check for some reason: 3
Yaalin sees the birds begin to swarm out and thinking quickly GRabs her censor from her bag. letting the gleaming instument dangle from it schain she begins to swirl it around her head leting the sunlight relect off its surface.

The first group of birds see Abigail scaling the cliff side. They rush down, flapping around her. Raking talons at her and trying to slice her open with their beak.
Attack: 14 Damage: 4
Attack: 15 Damage: 5
Attack: 22 Damage: 4

The second group heads over to Diadochi, seeing the large Loxodon beginning to climb up.
Attack: 20 Damage: 4
Attack: 23 Damage: 5
Attack: 20 Damage: 6
Attack: 17 Damage: 5
The third batch of birds see Yaalin swinging and making noise. They fly over, pecking at her.
Summary: Abigail curses the birds, and then heads up the rock face towards the nest. Diadochi heads over to the rock face, and begins to climb as well. Lafetha makes some magical stones and hurls one at the birds, but misses. The first group of birds slash and coordinate their attacks on Abigail - two striking at her face (16). The second group of white-hawks heads over to Diadochi, snapping with their beaks as they hover around him (24). Sim let’s loose a arrow, striking and killing one of the hawks around Abigail. Yaalin draws the attention of the last group, and tries to dodge their coordinated effort. She manages to dodge most, but one does get a snap in (5).
Setup: Abigail and Diadochi lay collapsed on the ground, having been struck down by the white-hawks, about 15 feet away from everyone. One white hawk lays dead on the ground. Three are flapping around Yaalin, trying to strike at her. Three white hawks are about 50 feet in the air. The other is about 20 feet in the air.

Yaalin snarls as the hawk makes contactLetting the censor drop to the ground her hand raking across the birds in front of her. She will then begin to move across to stand over Diadochis uncouncious form.

The three white-hawks that attacked Abigail maintain their course, flying around in the air, skimming back and forth, looking down at those underneath them.
The group of four white-hawks (B) look down, two of them branching off to attack Lafetha. The other two land on Diadochi, pecking at him, pulling bits of flesh off.
Attack: 15 Damage: 3
Attack: 10 Damage: 5
The other three white-hawks fly after Yaalin, continuing their assault on her.
Summary: Abigail and Diadochi are beginning to bleed out on the ground. Lafetha moves over to Abigail, forcing life to return to her lungs and the wounds to stop bleeding and stitch mostly together. (Abigail +6) Some of the white-hawks (A) maintain their height. Sim heads behind a rock with some shrugs and fires off a arrow, but it just misses. The set of four white-hawks split their attacks between Lafetha, scratching at her (6 damage) and Diadochi (1 death save failed). Yaalin tries to scratch at some of the birds but misses as she heads over to Diadochi's body. The birds around her continue to fight though, the sound of them scraping across her shell filling the room.

While waiting for Sim, Abigail spots the golden ring...
Pointing it out to the rest of the group she says, "Hey guys, there is a gold ring up in that nest. I am going to go get it.... Cover me."
Right before Abigail gets to the cliff, she calls out, "Oh, don't worry, I won't disrupt the nest."
Due to her ill luck with avians, Abigail is going to try to Stealth up the mountain to the nest.
I am going to assume that, at best, I would have disadvantage to any sort of stealth roll made while climbing.
Stealth: 12
Also, because it is inevitable, given Abigail's luck, that she will need an Athletics check when the birds start dive-bombing her: 11
