Let's just go with Silver's idea.
Posey helps Silver tie the pony to Kira's back.
Anyone want to scout ahead before we go in that direction?

Okay, well, if nobody wants to scout ahead, let's just determine our marching order.
Who goes first?

Cavaliere will wait to see if any of the others are intending on scaling the cliff. If not, he'll pull the rope back up and repack it.

Aww, muh snack.
Dust waits on the others then. He seems like he'll head up the rear wherever they decide

Scaling the cliff was my idea. I would like to do it, but i'll go with whatever.
I just realized that I didn't account for Mala in my weight calculation. I don't think Posey can carry all of the nonfliers at once...

Mala sniffs the air again, taking several seconds to do so. His nose twitches, as do his ears.
"Ponies? I do not smell ponies, no..."

Two notes
One note, written in hoof "Let us get off at Sirius. I cannot sleep. My head is throbbing. Luminescent Ray will get us all killed."
Another, typed up:
"All Kostroma personnel are to remain onboard at the request of the commander at Sirius."

Silver relays this information to the rest of the party.
Can Kira see anything on her scouting mission that would cause trouble for the party?

Cavaliere indeed scouts out the top of the cliff, moving inland to avoid ridge-lining himself while following the direction of the party.
Survival: [1d20+2 = (17+2) = 19]
GM Pone, do you want to do secret rolls for hide, move silently, spot and listen for me?

Kira sees that the beach continues past the sea stack, moving a bit inwards. Beyond this, she can see structures that make use of simple wood and sheet metal
>>179959
Looking from the top of the cliff, Cavaliere can see that beach extends to a tiny little bay that has what looks like an abandoned settlement with a small pier, a boat that is sunk in the water next to the beach, a couple of what look like houses, a big set of storage cylinders, and beyond this, a break in the hill where the party could walk into the center of the island

Kira thinks that's a good sign, at least. She returns to the party to tell them it's all clear and there's possibly a way to the interior of the island.

Would it be too big of a party-split if Posey climbed the cliff herself? She could take a couple creatures with her on the disk, but not all of them.

Off in the distance, on the hills, Cavalieri sees several things moving. A kind of black or green tint. And in the air, something moves. It would be easy to say that these are birds, but the way the wriggle... kites?
He can't hear anything special, besides tinnitus and this dull, underwater sound. Well, that, and the wind, which hits the side of the mountain and goes upwards.

It's possible those are flags, but they would not resemble Stalliongrad flags. Something must be wrong with his ears which frustrates him.
He makes his way to the other side of the bay to see if any ponies are there at the moment.

If there are any enemies there, Garv will find out the instant that he gets hit by a bullet. He will not have anything even vaguely resembling stealth, he will tip off the enemy to the presence of another group on the island, and he will have no help nor backup from his comrades. Is he certain this is the move he wants to make?

If you want to each individually split the party to go off on your own then you can each individually encounter CR5 and 6 encounters. You were told what to expect, and so you can get it.

Does everypony meet up or has the entire party split already?

"There are multiple objects on the hills on the other side of the island. I am not sure what they are but it was black and green in coloration. There is something above them in the air as well. Unfortunately I wasn't able to hear anything, somehow water must have entered my ears."
The only party member split off is Brie. Tenebrous is simply inactive.

Okay, there's no way you haven't had subjective tinnitus before. There are two parts to it. One is very easy to hear, a ringing sound that's high pitched and loud. But the other is a much lower pitched sound that's kind of muffled and you can only really hear when it's silent
In any case, he didn't hear anything that stood out as significant on his nat 1

Why don't we say Tenebrous is carrying Sea Stone, for the time being? That way he can interrogate him when he gets back. It'll give his player something to do, despite missing RP.
"No signs of the enemy? No campfires for our colts? They must be held somewhere.... We'll have to sweep the island. Stay on guard."
Posey begins to walk after Kira

Kira should take point, scouting for enemy encounters before they actually encounter the party. Either way, Silver has no hesitation about going in the direction of the kites/birds.

Are you done with your axe to grind?

On the way into the little settlement, there is an utterly massive rib cage, maybe 18 or even 20 feet across, that the party could or would walk through to progress along the beach. It's white, bleached bones that progress for 60 feet with a backbone above and ribs to either side.
Beyond this are two little cottages, both with glass windows, dull grey-brown wood sides, and sheet metal roofs. The doors are wide open.
To the left and in the small harbor is a pier that leads out to a boat that's maybe 40 feet in length with a smoke-stack, a cabin in the front, and a railing on an upper level, painted white save a red ring at the top of the funnel. It is sunken in the water, though its deck is above the water. Fuel oil seems to have gathered around it.

The party can probably explore this location later if they so desired. Right now getting to those navy ponies takes priority. Silver is a bit on edge about the open doors, however. Kira takes an interest in the rib cage. Can she tell what it belonged to?

Cabin one,
Open door. "Hybel en" written in block text above the door. Two bunk beds with a one bed made up with blankets and covers, two messy with blankets on the floor, and one mattress on a higher bunk knocked off the bed. There is a chest that is open with a heavy coat on the floor. There is a chair next to a desk, with a notebook on the desk, a lamp on the desk, a bowl, a couple open cans, and a massive (empty) container of vodka. There are notebook pages on the floor. This is what a cursory glance shows.

It seems very unlikely given its position that it simply died right there on the land and no one bothered to search its corpse. In fact, it's probably that it was placed there.

Furs you say? Any stand out types or exotic ones or does it just seem to be normal types of furs and pelts. And when you say some of the drums have a smell to them.... Dust walks closer and sniffs the drums. Is it a fuel or are we dealing with something worse?
