Griffons from the Earthspur Mountains will carry Group Eagle into battle. Their orders are to:

• Provide air support for Group Lion and bomb the magic thicket surrounding Old Phlan.

• Muster a rebel army from the surrounding villages, and attack any cultists stationed outside the gates.

• Seek and destroy the orc war bands hiding in the Grass Sea. Group Broadsword will search the keep for information on their whereabouts, and relay any findings to Group Eagle. Until then, the Grass Sea is off-limits.

• When Group Lion gives the signal, a chosen group will use an alchemical weapon to blow up the Stojanow Gate, opening a line of supply directly to the dragon's lair

On this track, each character rides a griffon mount provided by the Emerald Enclave Rangers. Use the mounted combat rules to handle them in combat (see PHB.) A griffon does not attack independently unless its rider falls unconscious. Players should keep track of their own griffon's hit points.
