Ashy's Oathbound Campaign, IC [ARCHIVED]

[Ashy]

While the gliders seem and look flimsy, in flight they are very strong, maneuverable, and resilient. The more time Tristan spends strapped to one, the more confident he becomes. Steering is merely a measure of shifting one's weight to one side (or direction) or the other and only the most complicated of tricks (such as flying upside down for short distances) require more involvement from the "flyer".

Yarish chuckles, "Oh my - of course! Crashing, Sun-blindness, getting lost, being devoured on the wing, the list goes on and on... But then again, the list tends to be drastically longer when traveling in conventional manners." There is not a hint of malice in the halfling's voice, only turt honesty.

"Crashing, yes. That reminds me, in addition to learning how to fly I would be most interested in learning to land safely.

You mention being devoured on the wing, what are some other common winged threats besides gaunts, are there for instance nightwings that we must worry about."

 

[Ferrix]

Tristan does his best to learn how to fly these flimsy gliders, still unsure as to how one will carry him in his armor. He checks on Raak throughout the day, to make sure that the lizard is okay (and that he hasn't eaten anyone's soul). While he learns, he also talks to Kiera a bit.

"So, what is our plan, exactly? We go to Ossian with PC, and learn what we can there?"

Kiera enjoys flying a great deal, almost like a child taking wing to free themselves of their problems, an oddity most of her companions notice.

To Tristan, "it seems like a move to civilization would give us access to resources that we cannot find here, and having a guide who knows their way is an advantage. Additionally, we may be able to get a broader scope of this world as a whole."

"Oh you know - the usuals: all manner of beasts, birds, dragons, demons, and moreso. It's a good bet that you see all you are used to seeing on the Forge, and then some..." The halfling winks, as if sharing a private joke with you.

OOC: Yarish taught everyone how to land safely as well as fly.

P.C. looks up to Kiera, "Who's your guide?"

 

[Vendetta]

Xerxes is still ready to manifest his levitate power or his telekinesis to save a falling friend should one of the wings prove as faulty as they all had first believed. However, he begins to feel more secure as he flies more and more. At times, even enjoys the wind rushing against his face, something he cannot achieve through his psionics. Throughout the day, Xerxes chats with whom ever will converse with him, blithely unaware of the more important conversations taking place among specific members of the group.

 

[deadestdai]

Quite the opposite of the rest of the group, Baja genuinely hates the flying experience as much as he had imagined he would! The feeling of movement without his legs doing the work (Or those of a mount) was really a little too scary and even caused him to vomit a couple of times.

This was in no way like the floaty magick flight that Xerxes made him do.

With this in mind, the half-orc makes sure it's known that he did not want to use one of the single-pilot variants, quite certain that he wasn't about to trust himself otherwise.

 

[ferretguy]

As he practices and feels the rush of freedom that the wings give him, Julian does at times give in to the dreaming that his monk brothers warned him to control. He does find himself wishing and feeling like he could be at one with the sky, not needing to walk or travel by mounts...looking down upon the land, banking and soaring wherever the winds would take him....
Then realizing that he was about to hit another of the fliers jerked him back into reality, narrowly missing his companions on the wing...

 

[Ashy]

Soon, the suns begin to set and the all-encompassing darkness and cold begin to encroach...

 

[Voadam]

"When do we expect Isror and the others back?"
