Aera points out his findings to the others, "It's a weather stick," he says simply.

Baraq tilts her head, studying the stick. "All that for a stick that tells the weather?" she scoffs. "Why bother with this stick, then? We could have grabbed anything, even a rock, to figure out the weather."
As evidence of her complaint, Baraq walks out of the cave entrance and slams one of her javelins into the ground. She re-enters the cave and says, "Look, weather stick.
"Stick is wet and cold. It is snowing.
"Stick is leaning to one side. It is windy.
"Stick is dark. No sun."
Squawking in frustration, Baraq tears into her evening meal.

Baraq nods. She retrieves her javelin and settles back into the cave to wait out the storm. She tries to keep the entrance clear of snow as best she can so they are not completely blocked in.

Almost a full day goes by as you camp in the cave. Nothing bothers your slumber, and the location is well-enough secured that you don't need to worry about the weather at all. Just as the dawn light starts to rise, you can see that the snowstorm has abated, leaving a crystal blue sky and frigid winds swirling the powder on the ground.

"Let us get this stick back to the crazy man," says Baraq, stepping out of the cave to stretch her wings.

Catriona yawns and shudders. She has been practicing taking animal forms but still hasn't managed a shape with wings. Last night she slept as a bear to ward off the chill but now she finds herself back in her own body.

You make your way out of the cave, heading back from whence you came.
Baraq and Aera, if you two are working together to fly over the mountains to pick out pathways and such, go ahead and one of you give me an advantaged survival roll, plus a d20 roll.

Baraq takes to the air, stretching her limbs before gazing upon the mountain.
OOC:
I have a +5 to Survival, so if Aera doesn't mind I'll roll with advantageRolls
Survival, Advantage - (1d20+5, 1d20+5)
1d20+5 : (20) + 5 = 25

Aera is glad to stretch his wings once more, taking off with Baraq and assisting with navigation.

Baraq is able to pick out a fabulous path through the snow, with Aera's color commentary providing some minor tweaks here and there. This weather holds solid through the next several days, allowing you all to travel pretty solidly. You can tell it's taking far more time to go back this way than it did to traverse in. Thanks to the expert path you plot out, you are able to easily find good shelter along the way and don't suffer any ill effects from the cold.
However, about a ten-day into the trip, you spot ten humanoids in seemingly threadbare clothing trudging through the snow towards a stand of white-dusted pine trees. Far off in the distance you can see a dark clump that seems to be more humanoids moving that direction. They are about a ten minute flight, or a two hour walk away. It's roughly midday when you spot them.

Baraq eyes the ten humanoids first, assessing their fitness and physique.

They look weak, and possibly malnourished. You see nothing other than the occasional dagger for dining.
Jan 15, 2019 6:23 pm
Baraq swoops to the others. "Maybe good hunting there," she says, pointing out the small group. "Weak and tired. But there is another group coming, larger in number. Perhaps we wait and see what is left."
Jan 16, 2019 4:51 am
"I don't trust it. They might be desperate. They could put up a fight. Or it could be a trick."
Jan 16, 2019 4:41 pm
"What if they need help?"
I miss Rolen. I miss talking to him. Sometimes these three savages make me wanna scream!

Baraq hisses, displeased with the thought of risking themselves for such weaklings. Aside from that, she does not provide any further objections.
