Anyway, lest this happen to anyone here, I'll wait for a few more people to check in with the OK, then set this to high gear)

Nurlan is ready.

Ready as I'm going to be.

(OOC: Excellent. 1 more is a majority, so after the next post, we're going to go flying)

ooc: As far as I know, Devlin is ready. Unless I missed something.

*With the group prepared, Rayne Teleports them several times and then spends an hour conjuring their mounts. The phantom steeds fly at incredible speeds, and the group makes fantastic time. However, after a long flight, Gur notices something brewing on the horizon--it looks like a sandstorm is coming!*

Is any shelter in view? Does it seem possible to fly above the storm?

*The desert below does not seem to have any visible significant cover. With his knowledge of survival, Gur can tell Tor that if the group flew up, they might reach a height where sand doesn't blow from below, but the winds will still be strong, and the fall would be treacherous if the wind got the best of anyone.*

"I've got a plan! No... wait! I've got a better plan! Nope... not that one either. Hirhum... well let's go over our options. Over it, under it, around it, or through it..."

Gur scratches himself in all kinds of places and also considers... "Or we could travel in the same direction as it... and try to outrun it."

In response to Gur's assessment, Nurlan calls out, "Do you know how long these things usually last? If we turn around we won't be getting any closer to our goal. But if it's likely to blow through quickly, we could land, endure a little bad weather and then continue."
