The dragon knight tilts his head in thought for a moment, "If we're higher, we're faster. How about we start with your 1000 feet spell but with us flying around 100 feet up? In ten minutes we could come close to clearing an entire ward. Granted there's more than three wards, but at the very least it'll help us eliminate certain areas quickly. Then we can drop down and let you use your other spell afterwards? Does that sound ok?"
Valrun calls Kody over closer and shows the group how the saddle is shaped more like a blanket than a horses saddle. He points to metal rings that are sewed into various places on it and then pulls what looks to be a sort of harness from a saddlebag and shows Phadrea how it has clips that attach to Kody's saddle. Once Phae has the the harness on Valrun climbs onto Kody and motions for Phae to follow, pulling her up behind him. Barkas then approaches and helps to fasten all the clips for Phae. Valrun looks over he shoulder at Phaedra and says, "Do you have any specific wards that we should start with?"
"The most important Wards would be the Sea Ward and North War, as it has lived in both those areas"
As the cleric get pulled up onto Kody she lets out a little "WOoooh" but nothing can dismiss the grin that covers her face. Phaedra wiggles around to find a comfortable position as she is getting tied in to the saddle.
Taking hold of her holy symbol and kisses it before touching it back into her clothing. She quickly ruffles around in her bag and then takes out the device so she will be ready to use it.
'I will use this to start with but you let me know when we are near the first Ward and I will cast my spell."

Valrun gives the sign and Kody takes a couple steps away from everyone before unfurling his wings. Valrun looks over his shoulder to Phae. "We're coming off the mountain on the north side so we'll be in the Sea Ward. We'll head north until we get to the field ward, then east across it before turning south into the the North Ward. After that we'll cross of the City of the Dead, Trade Ward, and Southern Ward before turning for the Dock Ward and then back to the Castle Ward." A few more steps and a flap and they were airborne. Valrun continued, "We'll use the drop in altitude to help pick up speed, so cast your spell and then hold on firmly to your gadget there."
Once Phaedra signals that she's cast her spell Valrun faces forward again and a second later Kody sweeps his wings back and the group dive down into the Sea Ward. The wind is whipping past the group at incredible speeds. At roughly 100 foot from the ground Kody's wings catch the air again and he levels out. Phaedra looks down and the sees the streets whipping past at a furious pace. She presses the button on the gadget and splits her attention between her spell and the finder. Over the Temple of Gond her magic pings off of what she assumes is Nim, since the finder doesn't move. Within scarcely 5 minutes they're slowing and gaining altitude. Valrun looks back at Phae, "That actually worked faster than I thought it would. I think I can get through the Field Ward before your first casting wears off, seeing how it's a small ward. Just going to get some height so we can swoop in to pick up speed again."
True to his word, Valrun and Kody carry Phae higher and then they swoop low and quick through the Field Ward. The finder gadget never budged but Phae's magic detected something. She taps Valrun to signal him, who nods and glances down but doesn't change their course. As they reach the eastern side of the ward they start to climb again and Valrun looks back over his shoulder, "You tapped me just over Endshift Street. Did you wish to go down and investigate or shall we cast your spell again and continue on to the North Ward? I didn't notice your gadget doing anything."
OOC: Bason and Vassa are at the manor. And Elon ran off yesterday and has yet to return. He's actually waiting for the rest of the party to catch up with him.
OOC2: More for me than y'all but just fyi, it's approximately 9-ish am.
Phaedra cast her spell as instructed and holds on tight. Kestrell, Selinae and Silver hear the delighted scream, or more a screech form Phaedra as the griffon plunges down towards the streets.
Watching the streets fly by the cleric is mesmerized until she gets the first ping off her spell. Snapping back to the present, she starts to look around eagle eyed as if she would see the machination standing on a rooftop.
When Valrun address her she yells back, "Keep going for now. I will cast it again and we can check the North Ward. If we find nothing can we come back her to Endshift Street later? It may have been out of range of my device or it could have been another of its kind. The device will only find the one we are looking for, but my spell will find any Nimblewright in Waterdeep."

Kestrell waves as they take off. "Ah, that looks like fun, it does. Oh well. Who wants some coffee? And he begins to make a fire and whip up a batch of Campfire Ranger Brew."

As Kody gains altitude Valrun turns around again. "Sounds good. Go ahead and cast your spell again and we'll start swooping through the North Ward." As soon as Phae motions that she's ready, Kody again dives down. The north ward, being a bit larger took a bit more time but you managed to scout the whole ward before the time on the spell ran out. Neither the gadget nor Phaedra's spell picked up anything in the area.
Valrun nods in agreement. "You said you could cast your spell three times before you had to rely on your gadget. Do you want to cast it for the last time or save it? Need to know how low to fly, you see?"
Valrun has Kody fly in low over the City of the Dead starting the painstakingly slow search using the Nimblewright Detector. After finishing the graveyard you then fly over the Trade Ward, the Southern Ward, and the Dock Ward with no results. By the time you finish up the Dock Ward it is only a couple hours before sunset. Valrun looks back toward you, "Do you want me to fly you back up to Endshift or would you rather return to your friends so that you can travel together?"

"Sounds fine to me" Phaedra says with a smile, clearly starting to become excited.
"So how do we do this... do I just hold on? Do I have my own saddle?"

Selinae lay back on the ground and watched Phaedras flight preparations with a grin.
Kestrell casts Hunter's Mark on Phaedra. "Don't worry, just in case something goes wrong, this will help me find you."
"Something go wrong. Nothing of the soft will happen Kestrell and besides, I have a knight in shinning armour with me!"
She gives the ranger a wink but instantly looses her smirk as she starts to wobble before stabilizing herself once again on top of Kody.
"And besides, I'm all strapped down..." ...did that sound bad? Great I bet those two have a good laugh about that later.
