So do you all wanna do anything else before continuing to follow the river?

Odysseus flies back. He doesn’t look like he ate, but dies fly to Saidra and wakes her up with repeated head butting. We... need... to... go.. before.. he.. catches... up! He then puts the stick back in his mouth.

Saida flops around on the ground as Odysseus slams into her, some of her long hair stuck to her face with drool from a hard nights sleep. "Yes.. let's go" The harpy says quickly preparing her things and taking to the sky slightly above the group.  Pine follows behind jogging from the ground, leaping from rocks and swerving between the trees. The entire time you walk along the river, the speed of the water slowly increases. after a while you arrive at a fairly steep cliff face as the river disappears over the cliff as it transitions into a waterfall. About 100 feet down you can see that the river continues out of the forest and under a road to the ocean. You are pretty sure if you can get down or around this waterfall that you could get to the road before nightfall.

(what are you guys going to do!? you are at the top of the cliff, you could try to head north into the forest deeper to gradually make your way down but it will take longer, or you could try to scale down the rock face, or you could just go down the waterfall, it would probably be fine... or not... who knows...)

(That’s not good. One of us don’t h@ve arms :). Means that this will be hard for them. I vote the fun option. Go down the waterfall. We could die. We could not. But we will have a story if we live.)

(you have 3 people that can fly, one with no arms, one wearing heavy armor and another well.... wearing a whole lot of stuff... but he still probably doesn't weigh too much lol)

((sorry for disappearing, i'm back!

"I doubt any of you are carpenters, but what if we made a raft. A flying... raft. Those of us who could fly could try to hold it aloft and carry the rest down, like a stork carrying eggs," Saida suggested. It was unclear if she was serious or still recovering from her fall the day before.

OOC: Chatters is not chunky! He just has a handful of robes on and chainmail. Chatters obviously cannot share his thoughts, but as a player what are the weight carry/lift limits when it comes to flying? Are they similar to normal where Saida could carry 150lbs (10 str * 15)? Meaning if Chatters were to toss his chainmail / robes over the ledge Saida could carry him since he only weighs 135lbs?

Chatters makes a few chattering sounds and points towards the forest.

Hungry gives a confused look at Saidra.

(I would say that as long as Saida is not encumbered that she could carry people down, but the moment she is encumbered she is going to start falling like a rock.)

So you guys making a sky raft? being carried naked one by one? what is going on?

((bird muscles

"So sky raft, or shuttle," Saida said, peering over the edge. 

Odysseus spits out his stick. Ok. So, listen up Bird Lady, I have a suggestion. There is water down there, correct? Throw armor and weapons down there, and they will be safe. Then, you and Zin will carry people down one by one. Starting with the knight, then the skeleton, and ending with the Dog Tick thing. And also, can’t forget you, Pine and Chuckles. Odysseus licks his lips.

(Pine would be very light and chuckles is a small size as well (Like a halfling) and Hungry is small and has no armor or equipment so he would also be pretty easy to carry so really it would just be Sylas and Chatters that might have to shed some equipment to be carried down. you can chose to throw it down if ya want, that is up to you :D)

"Bird lady..." Zinn repeats under his breath. "That's rather funny."

The imp mulls over this plan and envisions himself carrying others through the air. "Fly at your own risk, folks. I shall do what I can to make your airborne journey a pleasant one, but flying does have a level of danger attached to it."

(I would say that if Odyssues and Zinn want to both try to lift one of the smaller creatures, they could try to do that by working together, just RP me some magic. I try not to tell you all what to do too much because I wanna see how you guys handle different situations with your different abilities)

(Odysseus can carry a 60lb man without help, but they would have to be wearing something, unless they can take a very strong bite. I’m also afraid to carry pine, since he hasn’t eaten in a while, and he enjoys eating living humanoids. Or demon blood. But usually fresh ones.)

(You could look for a small but strong stick that they could hold and you could hold in your teeth... or a rope or something... or vines.... I would say that you could maybe carry hungry or pine by yourself if ya wanted. Chuckles has his spiked chain that you guys could use to haul him also, he is small and isn't carrying much either (no armor))

Sylas looks down the cliff, While he is not a being that would ever show his fear A little part of him is panicking right now as a fear from the time when he was alive resurfaces. He realizes he is terrified of Heights.

Sylas immediately back pedals 10 feet from the edge. "Surely we can find another way down, I mean there must be an easier way."

((This is either going to go just about as good as it can be, Which is not very or REALLY BAD))

(Once again, for RP reasons I don’t trust Odysseus to carry pine. But..)

Odysseus picks up the holy stick again (that will come in handy) and holds it up to Chuckles. Mfdr, vis should be strong! Fold on to dis! I’ll carry you! (Please weigh less than 60lbs)

The cackler will run and leap up towards the stick and grab hold of it with both claws before smiling to the others. "This is great guys!" He will say as he cackles with laughter. As you both make your way out over the waterfall and start making your decent, the mist and spray from the water along with the drool from Odysseus begins to make the stick slippery. Soon Chuckles is struggling to keep his grip. (8) but he is able to dig his claws into the stick and keep hold.

(Odysseus roll me an athletics or acrobatics check to keep hold)
