| 00:17:59 | Falcon | You see the woman looks at you wordlessly, turns around, and heads to the balcony, turns into a falcon and flies away." | |
| 01:21:04 | Giant eagle | "On a 23, you look out the window and your druidic senses tingle, and you hear a distant sound of feathers, wind nearby. Somewhere on a hilltop nearby, you hear a massive eagle landing and smell a familiar scent of old plumage that Altradler the eagle may be nearby." | |
| 01:42:23 | Carrier pigeon | "In any case, I asked if he was sending a bird to the Golden Orchard, if I could send a message with it so that the pigeon would not have to make two trips." | |
| 01:44:00 | Giant eagle | ""Jump on the bird, come here real quick because-- I am seeing. I am of the House of the Western Wind and I can see where the wind is blowing.'" | |
| 03:13:35 | Giant eagle | "'I confided in the druids of the Schongarten and we took Altradler, the old eagle, here.'" | |
| 03:28:59 | Giant eagle | "It is as simple as making the request to Altradler. Do you wish to go to Dol-Makjar? We will take you there as soon as it's safe for him to fly.'" | |
| 03:42:42 | Giant eagle | "Altradler does not like to fly at night, so I shall head back to Riesingürtle in the morning." | |
| 03:52:28 | Giant eagle | "You board the carriage of the eagle Altradler, along with the Lady Ingrid Einfasen and Amadah Toadstool, the tight carriage with the bearfolk druidess there." | |
| 03:52:39 | Red-tailed hawk | "Hannan flies beside you." | |
| 03:54:44 | Giant eagle | "Landing on a mountain, he's a big old bird. The carriage is tough. So easiest places for the carriage, landing in the city is going to be really tricky." | |
| 03:56:19 | - | "You see that some of the birds start to land around and different beasts. He calls, he basically using some Animal Friendship spells here..." |
