Thanks Ondek. Stay close behind me by about 100ft in case this goes south. That should allow me to fly back to you and get you guys up closer at the same time.
Having gotten the blessing from Ondek and taking the silence as a nod of assent from the others Kurag heads off once again to try his luck at making the bird-like creatures more acceptable to working as a team. He takes some of his meat rations as an offering to them as they are clearly carnivores.

Once by the creatures Kurag slowly moves closer and uses his training to keep from startling the bird-things. Doing his best to appear as an ally and not a threat Kurag offers the meat to the lead/closest creature.
wild empathy vs magical beast as assuming the conglomeration is not an animal +2 if meat gives a bonus
(planes is same bonus if that skill applies.)
The peryton that Kurag is directing his attention to, smiles with his bloody, toothy maw. Look brothers, this foolish creature offers us dead meat, not knowing that its beating heart is the true delicacy! With that it takes flight.
The peryton that Kurag tried to make friends with flies over him.
And Swoops down and tries to gore him.
Anoher preyton takes flight.
And also tries to gore Kurag.
Knowing that the attempt has horribly failed Kurag calls out to the others behind him. Guys...time for plan ‘b’. Apparently talking to them isn’t a good idea!
Acrobatics
Kurag flips backwards away from the creatures dodging their claws and beaks. Once 20ft away he takes aim at one of the creatures that hasn’t acted yet and looses an arrow to it.
Point blank deadly aim heroism for
Kurag hits one of the perytons.
Both take flight and attack Kurag.
Both miss.
Hearing the sounds of a scuffle, Khari hoists up her pack and hustles down the road, catching sight of the strange creatures, she calls back to the others "Well, they're ugly and not natural! Watch yourselves!" Spinning her pickaxe in her palm, she glares up at the circling monsters.
As the others wait for the perytons to come down to their level, the perytons quickly realize that Kurag is the only one fighting back and hence, the biggest threat!
Two perytons will use their fly by attack on Kurag!
As the 2nd peryton flies over Kurag notice that the peryton's shadow matches his own!
Fort save
Knowing that the others are behind him Kurag makes a full withdrawal back to the group. He contorts himself backwards avoiding gores and claws and wings to reach his companions safely.
Acrobatics avoid aoo
Seeing Kurag crawled up like a ball the other two perytons will continue to target him.
Ondek begins casting enlarge person on Kiln.
"This should help get a bit closer. Try and take their wings out if possible!"
As one of the creatures flies by, Rask swings Agrimmosh at it.
Rask wounds a peryton as it attacks Kurag.
Ondek makes Kiln a bit larger.

Kiln's readied attack slams the peyton!
Watching Kurag fly above overhead, she sighs heavily and returns to the group, releasing a blast of healing energy from her goddess.
As the first two Perytons attack Kurag, the are quickly brought down by Rask and Kiln.
Ondek enlarges Kiln and Khari heals some of Kurag's wounds.
As the peryton attack Kurag again, Rask responds with swinging Agrimmosh.
Kiln again readies to charge and attack any of the creatures that come down low enough...

The next peryton makes its attack run.
Rask and Kiln were ready for it and they put it down.
The last peryton makes its run.
"Itll be hard to bite what you can't see, peryton! Suck on these sparkles."
Ondek casts glitterdust on the flying monster, DC 17 Will save or be blinded.
Ondek casts glitterdust!
The peryton shakes his head and blinks a few times but seems to still be able to see!
Reaching out and touching Rask, Khari infuses the paladin with the strength of her goddess.
Thankful for the protection of dwarves in armor Kurag stops once he is behind them. Turning his bow upon his attackers he releases a set of 3 arrows at the nearest peryton.

With three hits from magic arrows, Kurag brings down the last peryton!
Kurag looks around at the others as the peryton died. So, that could have gone better. I guess the idea of us attacking giants together was a no then. Thanks for hurry8 g up guys and that fly spell was great Ondek. Let’s look for a lair quick and then keep heading onward. With his fly ability he takes to the sky a bit to get a look at the surrounding area and searches for a peryton lair.
Perception
Stealth
"I always have one of those spells prepared, Kurag. Seemed like a good idea to increase our scouts mobility, and maybe keep your footsteps from the ground. A shame about these creatures, but perhaps the giant they felled had some intelligence or goods on him."
Ondek casts detect magic, then heads to the giant and looks around for loot or info.
"This is a magical gorget, it will provide some armor on it's own, and allow for a magical glyph to be scribed onto it. That glyph would damage anyone striking the wearer in combat. Unfortunately, I dont have that spell in my spellbook, but it is something I could learn eventually."
Wand of cure light
Kurag moves onward following the trail that deviates from the main path. Reaching the caves he casts gravity bow and pass without trace from his wands as he turns to the others. Not sure what to expect but I am assuming some sort of flying creature or creatures inhabit this cave. By its size it seems to be larger than the perytons. I will do my best to scout it out if you wish to remain down here. Just be ready if I come running back because there is a dragon or something in there.
After a moments thought she changes his mind, Screw that! If there is a dragon in here you haul your a$$ up here and help me take it out while it is in the cave and trapped.
He gets out his rope and grappling hook and make sure to fasten it for the slower less agile and more encumbered iron tanks to climb up with.
Perception
Stealth
Kurag peers into the cave initially and if it appears all clear he plans to proceed in. First though is setting the grappling hook and rope for the others. Once that is finusher and the others start climbing and still nothing is threatening then he will proceed cautiously into the cave.
Maybe it was a rock his boot kicked or the breaking of a sapling, but whatever it was as Kurag peers into the cave. six sets of eyes stare back at him one set above a gaping maw the spews forth a stream of acid!
Reflex save
Kurag was startled at the quickness of the creature before him. Having lost the element of surprise it was all he could do to jump out of the way of the blast of acid.
