Fore-Flight and Hindsight

Discovery, Exploration

As the Menagerie continue their voyage onward, they Scry upon Scizzord. They witness the tortle following in their footsteps and the ramifications of that.

As Myska's Menargerie flew southeast towards New Derth and the Heartsieve Wastes, they knew their destination would be more based on Scizzord's actions than any personal desires. Crush would Scry on their rival to determine what destination was more important. The first scrying attempt was done on the second day of travel at noon, but failed. Because this, Crush would have to wait a full sun cycle to to try again. When the next scrying did work, it happened at the most opportune time possible. Crush described to his companions what he saw: Scizzord on the small platform atop Mount Fohkala with three aarakocra.
  Scizzord had the three tribemen knelt before him and demanded that they call out to their god. As Crush described this, Millie in a panic incanted out a Sending message and spoke directly to Hrathlnax, the Molten Tide. The gnome informed the dragon that he had intruders upon his mountain. The dragon began to respond in anger before getting cut off. Crush witnessed Scizzord kick one of the aarakocra into the volvano. In short order, the dragons head emerged from the mountain and began to gout fire. On bird got torched but Scizzord had pulled back around the ledge saving himself from the complete blast. He lashed out with his radiant necrosis that simply scattered off the dragon's scales. Millie Sent another message to “KILL KILL KILL THE TORTLE”. As the dragon scoo ped up the final bird, Scizzord boiled and shrunk down to point again as he magically removed himself from that place. As the scrying ended for Crush with his target gone, Millie received a final response from Hrathlnax. The dragon had warned that the land would be scorched and ruin brought to civilization. And he knew their scent.
  Uncertainty grew as to what had really just happened. They knew Scizzord was behind them and that he had pulled an escape hatch. Not fully knowing what to expect at Heartseive Wastes, they determined to head for New Derth. They needed information. Taking a circuitous route, they would be flying over the Dendishomes for a majority of their travels. Crush worked on mentally melding the remaining Temperence Shards into Chupta's Eye Piece. Millie began arcane conmunications to get a replacement made for his lost chest. Slowly, they made their way to metropolis of New Derth.
  The city had a skyport above the Umbral Ridge. Upon arrival, there were already 15 other airships in port. A crowd was held back by guards in the distance. As the companions landed, they saw a dwarf sneak past the line and dodginglyu get up to them. Seen by guards halfway through, they chased him down but the runner got next to the ship before he was caught. As he was hauled away, the man bellowed out a 1000 gold piece payment for any exclusive information on the razing of Fort Guillon
