Nurlan still favours going through as quickly as possible, at ground level. At least for now.

Devlin, having no knowledge of deserts or sandstorms, will go along with the majority.

*The group makes some progress on the ground at the edge of the storm, but as the winds grow and begin to howl and the san picks up, the phantasmal mounts prove unable to make much progress, checked by the strength of the wind. Meanwhile, the group (and the mounts) take minor damage from exposure to the biting sand. It's too much--the group is forced to dig in and set up tents or something similar to protect themselves from the sand.*

(OOC: Does the group have tents or material of some sort to set up something to shelter them from the direct sand?)

Nurlan has a tent.

"I guess we'll have to stop until this blows over. I'll set up my tent -- I figure we can all fit inside, as long as we don't need to sleep. If the storm continues and we want sleep, we'll need more tents -- anybody else have one?"

Tor has a bedroll and winter blanket that he can contribute as raw materials, either as part of a jury rigged structure of with which to reinforce Nurlan's tent. He and Gur will do the 'survival' thing. Tor will take 10, if allowed.

(OOC: There's a lot of duration left on those mounts. They are likely to outlast the sandstorm by a significant amount if you can prevent them from taking too much damage and fizzling--the trouble is, they're size Large, so one tent won't be enough, even with Tor's additions, to hold five size Large and five size Medium creatures (I think it's five now that we're retconning out Juliana?). Anyone else have material to contribute?)

Talbin is woefully unerequiped for desert travel (you'd think i should have learned when Findoram did just the same...). He only has a bedroll to add (which should stop the sand quite effectively).
