Arrin continues to lead and look for something of interest once they are deeper into the woods everyone sees as his tattoos glow just the smallest amount as he opens his sense to the powers of good or evil.
OOC: Divine Sense: As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallowspell.
"Nothing nearby?" Zoya pulls Arrin's arm and points into the forest. "You're tall, look through the leaves there. Don't tell me there's nothing nearby." She squints her eyes and attempts to see for herself the glinting lights and the wing her bird has seen.
Not exactly. Cornelius was about 70ft away when he saw the wing, but that’s basically all you have to go on. It’s somewhere in that area. You can maybe have him look for it.
Zoya The area where Cornelius saw the wing was about 70ft away and past a lot of trees. You wouldn’t be able to see it any way.
"Which direction should we go?" Leon asks, glancing between the paladin and the wizard. "Has your familiar seen something we should be checking out?" He asks the later.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yes, he has. Lights and a wing in that direction. I can get a better look," Zoya says, switches her vision to Cornelius and asks him to get closer to the wing.
Cinta was barely paying attention so enraptured was she by the Green. The fields had been alive but structured...orderly with little of the wild...and growing up on the borders of the dead she had seen very little green and growing as a child.
Something about wings ahead...sounded interesting...she hurried to catch up.
Leon is clearly not a nature-person as he walks through the woods. He manages to step on about every possible twig, snapping them and adding to the sound his armor is making. "I'm about as out of place here as a minotaur in a crystal shop." He tells the others with a shrug of apology.

Zoya You telepathically tell Cornelius. That would be investigation and not perception (13). After a few moments, you hear the disembodied voice in your head. “No wings here.”
The group continues forward, now about 20ft away from where Cornelius saw the winged creature hide behind a tree.
Leon:
You hear a faint giggling sound coming from behind you, and when you turn to look at it, you watch as what looks like a small person with wings turns invisible.

Leon's nature roll to see if he recognized the creature he glimpsed. 11
"Did you see that?" Leon says, glancing all around for the creature again. "What was it? a little person that just vanished..." He turns slowly, drawing forth his great sword. "It was this big, with wings, and just vanished..." He would hold his hands out to show the size of the little person.
You feel a strange tingling all over your body, which turns into applied pressure. You feel yourself being squeezed into a smaller form. You let out a yelp before the transformation is complete. When you open your eyes, you see yourself surrounded by what appears to be large feet. Before you can say anything, you feel your intelligence being drained away slowly. Your stats are being modified now, and you can’t speak or cast spells. I will send you a stat block in our private pm.
You all hear a yelp and realize that the half-elf you knew as Zoya is nowhere to be seen.
If you wish to search for her, make a perception check, DC10. (Zoya doesn’t do this)
If you pass, read the following:
You hear a ribbit, and when you look down to the source of the sound, you find a small green frog with black markings on its back. The enlarged eyes, strangely, are of a familiar gray color.

Looking around Arrin says, "Come out, hiding and running is not how a warrior fights." Once again tapping into his Divine Senses as he is sure this is the working of some sort of fiendish creature.

Your tattoos begin to glow as your senses are enhanced.
Arrin only:
You try to feel for signs of celestial, fiendish, and undead beings, but no aura stands out to you. There are none nearby.
"There's nothing nearby, let's keep going deeper into the woods." Arrin tells the group continuing to move forward.
"Lead on." Leon agrees. he adjusts his great sword, sheathed with its hilt over his shoulder, as he follows further into the forest.
"Nothing nearby?" Zoya pulls Arrin's arm and points into the forest. "You're tall, look through the leaves there. Don't tell me there's nothing nearby." She squints her eyes and attempts to see for herself the glinting lights and the wing her bird has seen.

OOC: Do I know how far away the wing is from us?
Not exactly. Cornelius was about 70ft away when he saw the wing, but that’s basically all you have to go on. It’s somewhere in that area. You can maybe have him look for it.

"Then let's head in that direction." Leon says and starts to head in the direction the spell-caster specified.

The form of the creature seems familiar to you, like you may have heard of it somewhere, but you can’t quite place it.
