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?

The grass is mostly dead, though not completely.

There is a cliff in the way.

There's also the option of using Posey's magic flying disk to carry the unconscious Sea Stone, while Kira goes ahead as a stealthy scout.

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...

Alright, with Sea Stone put on the magic disk, Kira goes ahead towards the direction the pony came from on a scouting mission.

Hide: [1d20+14 = (8+14) = 22]
Move Silently: [1d20+14 = (18+14) = 32]
Spot: [1d20+8 = (5+8) = 13]
Survival: [1d20+11 = (12+11) = 23]

Scaling the cliff won't work because as strong as Posey is, she can't actually carry 1600 pounds while climbing a smooth vertical surface.

Go ahead and roll your stealth to scout ahead.

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."

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.

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.

"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."
