The huge beast’s territory. The clock is ticking. What do you do?”(a) Eagle’s Flight has a duration of 12 hours so it’s still running.(b) The micro-objective is to draw the creature out (maybe with an Earth manipulation spell or knocking over a massive chunk of tower…the creature’s prey is big so, like a spider, it would be looking for the signature of Large + prey traversing it’s territory) or track down the subtle signs of its present location and maybe use Tread the Earth to burrow or something and invade its underground lair directly?So, just like in any other form of play the answer to the obstacle before the players must attend to the present fiction/dilemma; some clever solution and made move. That’ll get you a success (or more) in the gamestate. That will move the fiction forward (to a new obstacle or adverse fiction on an adjacent complication and spiraling gamestate on a failure).EDIT - If the player’s next move made (given the obstacle) is to surveil the area for the freshest moved earth using the bird’s eye view they have on Overland Flight, then they can have a +2 Circumstance Bonus to their Perception check given the advantageous fictional positioning. I would probably use the Hard DC that I have in my pocket here due to the huge area they’ll gave to trull aerially and due to the ticking clock.</blockquote>
