Neither on Foot nor on Wings

Tell the Pudgy Family at the League Settlement about the golem pieces found on the bottom of the gorge.

Just be grateful for my intelligence, knowledge and experience, and also for my colleague's quick wit! We have discovered something very interesting. Do you see these signs on the cogwheels? They are actually commands, left by the golem's creators for him to follow. So, what do you think they ordered him to do? Fine, fine, I won't tease you. But imagine... the golem was placed there with but a single goal: never let anything with wings pass by him. In other words, there is someone there who knows about aviaks and doesn't wish to see them.
This means that we will not be able to fly across. I'm glad that we discovered this before flying here on squawkers. Return to the Settlement and tell your contacts about this find. We'll wait until the fallen are resurrected and start looking for a path from the bottom of the gorge. I am certain that there must be some convenient trail or a secret cave there!

So, that's the scoop. Golems won't let anyone pass, not even a fly or a bird. What a pity... and we were about to build a glider. What if we try to catapult you in? Or use a large slingshot? What do you say to that?
