[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8429333, member: 7032025"] Why a skill challenge ? Why turn a roleplaying adventure into just rollplaying ? Just make a series of steps along the ride, a steep dive, navigating a canyon, high winds, other rocs flying by, the attention of a female roc, unexpected attack by flying pests, a storm, whatever, describe the event and ask of the PCs are coping with the event. You have the advantage of playing 5e which can be much more freeform than 4e and in which the players are not limited to skills and rituals that would not be applicable because they take too long when riding a roc. They have non-combat powers as well as many spells that might be applicable to the situations. If you absolutely want to track how they are doing about impressing the Legendary Spirit of the Land, track their successes in each of the steps above, and set a threshold for success, but I would even advise against this, because they could have a spectacular success or failure along the way which might count more than simple failures (or successes) along the road.
