unfortunately they are on opposite sides of the ravine. The A team is on the side they originally started on, and needs to find another crossing point- the B team made it safely across(just).
Yes, part of the reason the A team has that particular set of people in it is so that all the native Fae would be together and would outnumber the mortals- a chance to see how they act in their natural environment. And yes you will get to see exactly how good they are at spellcasting very soon. There is someone who spells in Haiku but you wont see them for a while yet. Most spells rely on rhyming or some other poetic element, but the best spellcasters (ie flib) can cast non-verbal spells by thinking the poetry instead, which has the added bonus of the element of surprise.
Keeps them out of trouble, keeps them where Flibbage can see them? Plus, once they've trained, they'll probably be fighting the kind of crazy monsters and magicians we've seen so far in Cherry, hopefully not faeries. A human spellcasting team could be pretty useful for missions on earth, where faeries and other non-humans aren't exactly welcome any more too. I can think of plenty of reasons. Of course, the only exception of this would actually be Steve... because males can't use magic on Earth (IBYKS), he's pretty much stuck away from earth if he wants to carry on as a magical boy.
As for this bridge, anything can happen in twenty years. Pirate attack?

That's odd. You'd think Steve would not have issue with the no-male rule because of genre differences; generically, male fae are not able to use magic in the mundane realm unless they cheat. But as magical girls and mysterious boys are utilizing an entirely different type of generics, shouldn't their abilities likewise differ? Heck, you don't even have to speak in rhyme as a magical girl/boy in order to get your spells off, suggesting generical differences.

Sorry, we made the damn rule in IBYKS and now we have to keep it, especially since it was key in defeating one of the badguys. Different genre or not, you've got to try and have consistent in-world logic...

Phew... at least there's something that An doesn't kick everybody elses ass at.

I love how mortified she is when Iorden says it out loud. =^-^=
Got a spell that's non-haiku for them. ^^
"I believe they can fly I believe they can touch the sky For as long as it takes to pass this gorge And land safely of course I believe they can fly..."
It makes sense that An wouldn't be good at spellcasting. We saw that her sister subcontracted out for spellcasting expertise. Though wouldn't it be amusing if the "kid sister" had been learning spellcasting on the sly so that she has an extra trick up her sleeve to use against An when they fight again?
*ponders* Okay. How the blazes is Keti going to defeat Kitty? Generic rules almost dictate she has to fight Kitty... unless she gets her hands on the Sword of Slayskull and the sword takes over, of course... at which point we've probably got an insane Keti on our hands.
Hey, works for me. I'm mad already. =^-^=

I need a little inspiration to weave a spell of teleportation across this bridgeless gorge we must go and reunite with friends and face down foes.
(Well, you did name me one of the Deadly Poets, after all! =^-^=)

so why is it iordan completely rules out sylphia casting the spell? has he forgotten about her or does he think she's incompetant? and what about himself? he certainly was confidant about casting spells a few minutes ago...
rhetorical questions, nobody needs to answer them if you don't want to.
also, i can't remember if you guys have gone over this or not, but just how is iordan's name pronounced? is it phonetically -- ee-ordan or ai-ordan or is it like the greek alphabet where there's no j and they just use i instead, therefore pronounced jordan? i apologize if i've asked this question before.

It's a little bit Scandanavian-sounding - Yorr-dun.
As for why he didn't think of Sylphia, it's because she's usually so airy-fairy (no pun intended) and vague. She's been unusually chatty lately. Plus, she's a sprite - I think elves tend to be the stronger spellcasters.

Yeah elves are the best spellcasters and girls are more naturally magical than boys in the IBYKSverse, so An would be the first choice, I guess Iordan assumes if he can't move all of them neither can Sylphia- especially since earlier she turned out to be not so great at carrying people manually. We've already ascertained that whilst Iordan is essentially a lovely bloke, he's no genius.

Teleportation spells never end well, in my experience...
