Bolt from the Blue

Here comes Ferris! Look at its beautiful shores! And how the sun gleams on the tops of its snowy mountains!
You don't see any shores or mountains? Hahaha! Neither do I. Damned storm! How are we supposed to land? Are we supposed to sail blindly through the blizzard in our rusty little boats? I'm a Surveyor, not a self-killer!
Listen, I have an idea. We have three Hopping Backpacks with embedded meteorite particles. The goblins made us pay through the nose for them, but I had a feeling that we might need them. And so it happened.
You are the most experienced in that kind of things among us, so we rely on your skills. Take the backpack, reach the shore, and install the landing beacons. Their light will help us land.
Murk, our best scout, will go with you, as well as Elena, my assistant and the most beautiful Historian, I swear on my thesis paper! Please, look after them.

Well, the landing was not that soft...
