With mother nature bearing down on the group with her full force, the group trudged on, slowly and deliberately. There wasn't any way to communicate over the howling gale and heavy downpour. There was so much rain that it made it nearly impossible to stay together.
@Chimney - Try as you might, your magic was not enough to stop the elements. One moment you were exercising your spells, next thing you know the mudslide swept you away like a tidal wave consuming a lone surfer. One sheep was ripped out of your hand and sucked up into the howling vortex. You black out. Urukhan did not claim you, but no one else knew of your fate afterward.
Failure
@Pete Simpson - You combat the winds with your own, generated by the godly ring. You couldn't stop the storm, but it didn't stop you from keeping behind Chad either.
Success
@Sol - You had difficulty igniting your fire. It felt as if you were lighting a match under water. Thankfully for you, your pyromancy came through and burned away some of the hazards that came toward you and the rest of the group.
Success
@Ilya - Your strength and training came through, you were able to hold yourself to the group and even caught a third sheep, the left over when the elements consumed
@Chimney.
Success
@Ru Ning - Your molding of your divine power shielded the entire group from a tidal wave of mud and rocks. The mass slammed into your barrier and split into two as the group hurried up. Appreciation is overdue in your case.
Success
@Hanasakura Okami - Your flame incinerated some of the mud, casting a hard shell around it while you cut down larger projectiles that slipped through
@Ru Ning's barrier. There was a lot of it too, but it was a good kind of sore.

Sheep Count: 10 - Mini Event: Success
Finally, you reached the manor at the top. While a natural disaster was churning the earth around the manor, the building itself went unscathed, most likely a result of its positioning.
Chad rushed toward the building, a sheep in each arm shouting at the rest of the ducklings following after him. Though, you can't seem to make out what he's saying because the natural disaster has yet to subside.
When you came closer to the manor, several butlers and maids can be seen at the opened door way, they gestured for you to jump in.
(Chad huffed and gasped, nearly coughing up a lung coated in mud while his two sheep bleated as they ran to the manor's servants). God, we almost died out there. Thanks for being on standby, not sure we woulda lasted another second out there.
(He turned around and did a headcount). Grr... damn, when did the chatty Tertorian get snatched? I didn't notice at all.
Chad stewed in a sense of failure since it was because of his complacency that the group lost a teammate and a sheep.
The maids and butlers rushed over to the rest of the group with towels in hands. A tall and rather regal-looking butler bowed to the drenched and muddied adventurers.
"Lady Vigarden is currently not here at the moment, but would be absolutely delighted to hear that brave heroes have rescued the sheep. For the time being, please wash up here and rest. The servants will provide you with room and board tonight."
Alright, you heard what the man said, no good deed go unrewarded. Go get a bath and let's get a grub afterward.
