Bombers at 12'o Clock High!

Problems with bribing the mercenaries include; fear of Daedoloth being stronger than cupidity, mercenary code against breaking a contract, getting a message to the soldiers without it being intercepted.

Being November, night falls fast
Baylock scouts the cliff under the well, and finds that spring high water has eroded a cavity. It's too small to get through but he uses the Water of Wending. The sensation as he literally dissolves into a liquid is indescribable, but he finds he's able to flow into anywhere a liquid can, and makes his way through the gap and into a space beyond. This leads to the well shaft and he's able to get up to the top. Resuming his own form, he attaches a rope at the top and returns, widening the hole enough for people to get through.

Barney the Hippogryph
The party approach the Cyrn from several different directions. Baylock [and Talian's bubble] return to the well, sneaking in under cover of darkness. Nazariel takes to the air with her new Fly spell, Fireballs ready to cast. Chambu summons and mounts a Hippogryph, soaring over the fortress. Baggy moves up under cover of darkness and a stone with Silence cast on it and lurks in one of the ruined buildings outside the gates. Binky is not yet summoned but waits elsewhere for a need to arise.
Working across the darkened ruins towards the black roofed house, Baylock notes that the stack of crates they believe contain magical items for processing has dwindled to one and that more barrels are standing near the cart outside the other door of the building. He carefully times the guards' movements, then makes his move. Clouting the one guard who could observe him with his sap, he grabs the crate - finding it rather lighter than he'd expected - and slips back into the shadows.
Nazariel drops a Fireball on the group of barrels outside the building. This sets fire to the cart and the building itself, and kills the guard on that side of the building. A few moments later, a massive explosion blows in a good half the building and engulfs the remaining barrels and two more guards.
The group retire to their camp, where the crate proves to contain some potions, a set of cursed pipes and a one-man flying carpet - lots are drawn and Baylock acquires it.
