More perception checks! Taking 10 if able, just to keep the little guy honest. EDIT If things get desperate, Hera can attempt to fall on the fey from a high enough vantage to incapacitate him. Just let me know when you are all unconscious. ;p

DM Carbide wrote: She acts before the quickling in the round, and could have readied an action. So a person can ready a standard or move action. If Hera goes first, her move action for the turn is flying, leaving her a standard action-worth of action left. In order to interact with a ground-based foe she would either have fly nap-of-the-earth, and then that foe would have to move through her space. Since she apparently can never see the trail of the thing (and there's no indication of where it is or has gone or traveled on the map) there's really not much I/she can do. If she had some indication of where it was trying to get to, or the paths it was traversing she might land somewhere near it's path and set up an action to move very slightly and then attack (or at least cut-off the quickling), but since there no indication of its angle of attack, it's kinda pointless to try.

Well apparently there's no time to act without a readied action (there's no map reference or even a trail) so I wasn't sure what the question mark was for on your end. There's no target (at any particular distance) she could grapple with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hera scans the area for anything resembling the stone, or foes. If she can she just takes 10 on perception for 20 a whole bunch of times. Alternatively, I could make a lot of rolls.

The invisible owl moves silently off to the mission objective with her surprise package to recon the area. When Gwen casts invisibility it has a 5-minute duration. mage armor lasts for hours.

Hera the Owl wrote:
Though you are correct in noting that she might stand out if she is seen. Hera is probably not of a species of owl that is native to this particular forest. Anyhow, she generally scouts ahead when Gwen is outdoors. Gwen still only gets Hera's feelings (surprise, trepidation, eagerness, etc...) via their empathic link, although Hera herself is a genius intellect among birds. As for Gwen and the Marching Order, she typically stays toward the middle/middle back of the marching order. Much of her magical combat ability relies heavily upon surprise.

Most owls are nocturnal, but a few do operate during the day. Regardless, she can fly at half speed (which is normally 40') and still keep or exceed the party's pace on the ground and have a +15 on stealth checks in forested spaces, plus whatever distance modifiers might be applied to potential watchers on the ground.

Overhead her familiar, Hera, an owl that Apollyanna talked Gwen into adopting "to make her look more authoritative" in front of all the wizards working in and around the Grand Lodge's many libraries, was flying stealth reconnaissance. Gwen would have cast mage armor on Hera when they were about a half-hour out. Hera stays about half-a-mile out in front of the party, skimming the forest canopy to avoid enemy radar.
