Alexandria's griffon begins to swoop down at the top of the "Hammer". She can see a group of large nests among the flat top of the mountain.
Fargrim was at the wagon then move before the horses. He is 5 to 10 feet from you for the few seconds before he is airborne.

As he suddenly vaults off of his horse, Delrin barks out "We have incoming Orc Wolf-Riders from the Monastery." but the wolves clearly aren't his goal. After his quick dismount, he only takes another pair of steps before leaping into the air and landing on top of the saddle of the launching griffon holding Fargrim. He really doesn't have the time to properly discern how to mount up into a saddle intended for dwarves, so he just clips the grappling hook still in his hands into one of the saddle's buckles and tosses the attached rope towards Fargrim. "Grab on before it finds a cliff to drop you off of!"
Athletics Check: 15, so he clears the low obstacle (aka the griffon's body).
Acrobatics Check: 21, so he's able to stick the landing and stay balanced, for now at least.
Action is to provide aid to Fargrim via rope.

Oloric tires of the failed attempts on the Griffons and fires a bolt of fire a Fargrims to either scare them away or realizing the hungry beasts may have to be put down.
(Attack: 14 damage: 6)

Malik will push Conn towards Fargrim to try to help catch him or grab the rope if he isn't able to jump free. Let me know if a roll is needed.
He ponders what to do about Alex but has no great ideas. The griffon won't likely accept a command and his friends were soon to be in trouble with the wolf riders.

Izzy snarls "Oh what the HELL, beardo!" and whips a couple of arrows at the griffon holding the dwarf.
[Sneak attack total: 22 (on the griffon holding Fargrim), damage: 11; extraordinary success action attack total: 19, damage: 5]
Fargrim snatches wildly at the dangling rope.
[Athletics check total: 12]

The Griffon climbs slowly with DelRin on his back, Fargrim in his claws, and finally Malik grabbing the rope and tying it into Conns saddle. It screeches as it is burned by Oloric then 2 arrows pierce it's ribs. The beast is caught swirling in a circle 50 feet in the air.
The second griffon swoops back at the rope biting with it's beak at the rope it is 25 feet above Malik. It's first bite does not cut the entire rope but does damage it.
Alexandria's griffon is gliding down to the nests. Alex sees in the nests a few eggs that have a radius of about 3 feet and an armored dwarf slumped in the largest nest. She can not tell if he is dead or alive.

Well, now Delrin was standing on a whirling beast fifty feet above the ground. Great. Delrin decides that it's about time to start taking control of this mount, and lowers himself down to grab onto the reins. After all, if the blasted thing had reins, that meant it would be close enough to controlling a horse...probably...maybe...hopefully...oh, he was going to die, wasn't he?
Animal Handling (disadvantage): 18 and 14.

Delrin attempts to calm the beastie he rides on pulling the reins and giving commands. The roasted and pin cushioned beast doesn't seem to want to be handled and in it's fight to get free releases the dwarf in it's arms (Fargrim roll a Athletics DC8 to grab the rope and not fall 50')
Alexandria ?
Initiative
Delrin 18, Alexandria 12, Oloric 11, Griffon 11, Izzy 9, Malik 2, Fargrim 1

[DC 8, you say? ...uh, would a 6 cover that? ...no? Hmh.]
Fargrim grabs frantically at the rope that whips past his head and misses completely. As he plummets toward the road, he shouts "Aye, dwarves on bluddy griffons! Who's fookin' genius idea was that?!"

Oloric chants and Fargrim floats safely to the ground (feather fall. Good thing Oloric wants fly spell and thought ahead!)
Need to look at spell but I believe he can hit Delrin also depending on range.

Alexandria's griffon spins and arcs as it flies to the nests. Black arrows fly wildly from the monastery only a few able to even reach your height. You will be at the nest next round. You see sleeping in the nest along with the eggs are a pair of baby griffons the size of a large dog. The Dwarf is not moving and you see unmoving dwarves in the other nests.
DelRin's griffon strains against the already damaged rope and it snaps jerking the two higher in the air.
Fargrim is floating down as the third griffon grabs him in it's claws.
The cut rope falls down around Malik.
Izzy, Malik, and Alexandria still need moves for this round.

Oloric fires another bolt at the griffon Delrin is riding this round. Attack 15 damage 5 (feather fall is a reaction spell).

Malik chants to his god and points at the closer griffon now holding Fargrim. Using his divine ability to abjure the beast.
(DC 13 wisdom save. If it fails its speed drops to 0 and it is frightened. That means it will drop and plummet. If successful it just gets half speed until damaged again)

Izzy shouts "What is this, musical griffons? Pick a perch, beardo!" and fires an arrow at Fargrim's new friend. It doesn't hit anything.
[Attack roll total: 5]

Alexandria stares at the Griffon. She was in possession of more than enough food for two weeks. She attempted to maneuver it downward. "Take us in gently... you want the carrot, do you not? Do not make me give you the stick. Because I will." She told the Griffon, unsure if it actually understood the tone of her voice. ((Animal Handling: 14 + 2 = 16)) For the most part, her riding was limited to horseback, although she figured something had to carry over.
