Maybe I'll have Elia just fly them down to the road to Everlund and let them make their own way back to the Harper portal. They can get attacked on the road.*It's a distance of more than 700 miles. If she flies nonstop for the entire 48 hours, she'd have to be flying at 15 mph. If you add in some breaks, she'd have to travel even faster than that. According to the DMG, however, her normal flying speed of 80 feet translates to only 8 mph, and she can only fly for 9 hours a day. I suppose you could say that she flies for longer at the risk of exhaustion, but she'd still need to be moving a lot faster than she ought to be able to.</blockquote>
