Shootingstar shakes his head. They didn't see any other ways across. We do have options though, Crimson bites her lip. The bridge is by a town on our side. There are Dwarves in an Inn there. Maybe we could do them some favours in return for some of their gold. I'd bet the Centaur bridge guards would take gold to let us past.
"Okay," I frown not liking the idea, "are you all willing to stay hidden here while I go do that then meet me at the bridge?"
"Alright then. Hold on tight," he says, spreading out his wings and starting into a run. With a few mighty flaps you both lift from the ground, leaves swirling in your wake.
Skywhisper flies over the city walls, catching a thermal and rising higher into the sky. You turn and turn, climbing up and up, before he glides away from Elvenor and to the west. To the islands.
The wind is almost nonexistant - it should be a decent flight for today.
The egg bag feels like it isn't secure in your hands, and with the speed Skywhisper is going at, it is difficult to hold onto it and him at the same time.
"Slow down!" I yell. "I'm going to drop the egg!"

It's Vanguard, a city full of Dwarves. Finding a bar will be easy.
You take a couple of minutes walking among the crowds of Dwarves packed into the small streets, and duck into the first bar you see. 'The Rusty Pickaxe', it's called. It is just as crowded as outside, and you take your time getting to the counter, where a large Dwarf is serving drinks to all of the customers.
He looks at you and grunts, "What're you 'ere for?"

Malindi breathes a frustrated sigh. "No it's not fine - is it, Balthur?"
"No it's not fine," he immediately answers.
"You've all been travelling for days, and through the night. It is not good for your bodies to be exerting so much without rest, you should have been able to sleep for longer," she scolds.
"Don't worry, she's always knows what's right for you, whether you want to hear it or not," he chuckles.
"Someone's got to tell you when you're being an idiot," she mutters.
"Well anyway," Balthur cuts in. "Today I'll be stocking up on supplies. You should too, we've got a long journey ahead of us."
"I've already tried to tell him he needs to rest," Malindi rolls her eyes. "He never stayed still for more than a few seconds when he was a kid, either."

The others nod, and make themself comfortable.
Crimson jumps around your ankles. This is gonna be fun. I've never seen gold before. Well, I actually have, but I haven't touched gold before.
