The decent of IXI

The tops of the mountains are now a distant thing and the valleys depths are warm and welcoming. With spring time fading a bit of heat is felt in the west wind that blows through the passes. Birds chirp. Bees buzz, flowers abound throughout.
Circling high above can be seen a lone winged form that gradually drops below the rim of the valley. Several minutes pass an the figure folds her wings and alights atop a high stone formation. Reaching into her pouch she draws forth a crude map and shakes her head the the rough sketch. The map was given to her by a dear friend, Dringle, a dwarven herbalist with litle concept of cartography beyond what rocks and plants to look for. Looking around she nods after spotting a few peaks to the north and another to the east. stowing the map she launches back to the air looking for the next marker.
Acording to the map drawn for her the next way point is over the next pass and then she must find the ravine somewhere along the south east edge. The problem is that the ravine starts in the wooded region. The dwarves just follow the stream to the ravine and then go down the ravine to a small settlement. Dringle suggested Ixi stop at this settlement to collect documentation to allow her to enter the dwarven cities to the south without trouble.
Ixi can
A. Search for the ravine trail and follow that to the settlement
B. Bypass the ravine and just go looking for the settlement
C. Skip the settlement altogether
D. See where the wind takes you

Ixi runs over the map details in her head as she takes flight, and scans the landscape below. Dringle was a great herbalist, but a pretty poor cartographer. The forest itself was easy to spot, but if she followed the directions exactly, she would have to take the forest route by foot; her massive wingspan made forest flight... difficult, to say the least.

She took the time during her flight to mentally map the landscape; it was beautiful, and maybe worth sketching later when she had time. After mulling her options for a bit, she decided that Dringle's map was great for someone on foot, but Ixi had the advantage of flight. So instead of finding the ravine, she opted to just scan for the settlement from the air. Surely a town couldn't be that hard to miss!

Thinking back to the stories told by Dringle reminds Ixi that few dwarven settlements are entirely on the surface. As this is a smaller frontier outpost it is likely run by a single clan and may only have a single structure on the surface. However she does know it trades with other communities and had no underground passageways to then so there must be roads. Or at least trails.
Searching for those and based on when the ravine should have started Ixi adjusts her search

Finding a track that leads in the expected general direction but is soon lost in the overgrown forest Ixi continues searching and after 3 hours locates a path leading to a wall built into a large cavern in a cliff face. From there she soon finds this end of the ravine and verifies this is the place.The "building" had a single sturdy door but Ixi notes several windows in the cliff face indicating the settlement is bigger than a single door might indicate. A few small fields in the area look cultivated but not enough to be the only food of the dwarven village. Now that she knows where to look Ixi spots a few dwarfs near the fields. It looks like they are finishing for the day and heading home.

The farmer, is slightly startled and almost raises their tool as a weapon of defense. However as surprise leaves and their nerves settle you note recognition. Though the Avians and Dwarves have little interaction they are known to each other.
Dingle? Dont know no Dingle. But if they sent you here for papers you will be needin the scribe. I'll take ya in. Come along then miss. and throwing the hoe over his sholder he continues on his way down the trail to the clearing and eventually to the door.

You note with a bit of gratitude that the door and dimly light corridors beyond are big enough for you to not feel to trapped. The door opened into a guard room but all proceedings were quite casual and the dwarfs are obviously quite friendly with each other and polite to you. Beyond you enter a virtual maze of corridors, stairs, ramps, and eventually you enter a chamber with a window open to the sky outside. Sitting at a table is a wizened old dwarf with a younger more energetic dwarf at his side. Your escort relays your desires to the old dwarf and excuses himself off to go get dinner.
The old dwarf introduces himself M'names Adrik.
Adrik Frostbeard. Nice to meet you miss. I can help you get papers but first will be needin a bit of proof that you are who you say you are and how ya came to our door. Ya see the papers are a reflection on us as a dwarven community so ya cant expect us to just hand them out ta any that ask, now can ya?

After a good nights rest Ixi sets out. This time better informed and instructed in the use of the map she is confident she will be able to reach the town by nightfall. The dwarves warned to to enter the city on foot or she would likely be shot at and/or arrested and the city gates close at dark.

Thoough avians are able to fly for an hour or two they have difficulty with flying longer than that without resting thir wings. Thus Ixi manages her air travel time and picks locations she can walk or rest as safely as possible. In the early afternoon she is forces to rest in the midst of a forrest. It has massive trees, small and large medows, as well as several streams and small rivers running through it.

Give me a standard test for looking around, describe you desired rest area based on the above description, roll another test for staying allert once you are on the ground.
