Upon departure from the cabin, Michael waits until the dogs just move out of range and then casts Elation spell, affecting everyone else, including Jorr, until tomorrow afternoon, rising people's spirits and effectively strength, dexterity and all forms of speed. Then he takes the designated position and rides through the forest, probably having Limbo hustle more often than not, because the trail was not wide enough for the griffon. This was not supposed to be a major problem, even long term, but did annoy both the mount and the rider.
Still, upon the sight of some surprise girallons, Michael exercises restraint and does not open up with anything potent, instead conserving those spell for use at the keep. He casts only Blood Wind on the griffon and readies a sword to aid griffon's defenses.
The griffon recognizes the spell and the guidance that Michael exerts along with it. It was a usual procedure. He stays in place and makes motions as if attacking an invisible something next to him and... well, nothing happens as far as anyone could see...
