Scene Ideas

1. The adventurers are searching for a macguffin that is at the top of a cliff. The wyverns may have even stolen the macguffin and put it up there. The top of the cliff is where the wyverns roost. The heroes must scale the cliff while fending off the wyverns.
2. To reach their desired destination, the adventurers must cross a wyvern breeding ground. Hundreds of towering rock formations are scattered in the large canyon between two cliffs (like Wullingyuan Canyon in China). Wyverns fly to and fro below, almost like a makeshift transportation system ;). The heroes must get to the other side of the canyon to reach their destination.
3. While riding on an air ship, sky pirates attack and they are riding well-trained wyverns!
