Okay, folks--to help pin down opinions, I'm sticking up a poll.
The options so far:
1: Go Around the raging wildfires. This will require you to go well out of your way--causing an extra flip for possible random encounter, and delaying your arrival in Hochatown by a day.
2: Go Through the flames as a group. I roll 1d4 to determine the number of hours this will take; every half-hour (so, 2-8 rolls, depending on how big the blaze is), the group makes two types of rolls:
2A: Folks without FEP or immunity to heat must make Vigor rolls or suffer a level of Fatigue.
2B: Snackhappy needs to make a Piloting check, and the BattleBike drivers need to make Driving rolls. On a failure, I roll damage from the fire against the vehicle in question. Damage is 2d10 MD, using the Critical Hit tables for vehicular combat. On a passenger hit, the Battlebikes provide no armor against the damage, of course. Fox can ride on top of Sasha, in order not to roll.
3: Go Above--Fox could carry the Battlebikes one at a time over the flames. This would require Fatigue rolls as per #2, because the smoke is so thick above, but would bypass the Driving rolls. Snackhappy would still need to make the Piloting rolls, and the total travel time would be a few extra hours, and would also run the risks associated with splitting the party.

Re: OOC: Which way do we go?
Can Echo's powers reduce the effects for those in her bike?
Basically using Energy control to provide +2 to their roll instead of -2 or something by sheathing us in cold that is countered by the heat?
Or matter control to cause a circle of freezing rain to fall on us like a barrier against the fire?
(Poll needs fixed, I think you intended option 2 to be go through and that is what I would vote. Not a fan of more people going missing so we can avoid hardship)

Echo could use her Energy Control to grant +2 to the Vigor roll, yes. It won't protect from direct hits from flaming debris.
Poll is fixed.

If Herra's voting to go through, Chok'lat will too. I think that's the consensus at this point.

Can we use Clairvoyance to judge the size and maybe a safer route through?

Echo has the power and so does Herra, between the two they could cover more total locations/area.
