Cidrella Vexweld stood before Crash-Landed Airship's engine, examining the intricate mechanisms that fused magic, technology, and music. She recognized that the pipes connected to the engine were crucial for Crash-Landed Airship's lift and movement, while the Helm above controlled its navigation. A sense of urgency filled her as she knew they needed to get Crash-Landed Airship moving before their pursuers arrived. "I think if I hit it hard enough and got a few ideas, I can get something running," she said, eager to harness the engine's potential and escape their current predicament.
Calcorius Drommens ascended the stairs to the mid deck, intent on inspecting the gun position from which Clemens “GearwhistleGearwhistleGearwhistle communicates entirely through mimicry — clicks, whistles, and perfectly replicated phrases — but his craftsmanship speaks loudl…” Brackle had previously fired. As he peered into the gun port, he observed the cannon mount, which was blackened and warped, with the fittings around it damaged beyond repair.

As Crash-Landed Airship’s Aetherflow Engine hummed steadily in the Lower Deck, it lifted the vessel about a foot off the surrounding trees, causing branches to snag against the hull. Cidrella Vexweld stirred from her nap, her red hair tousled as she adjusted to the vibrations of Crash-Landed Airship. Meanwhile, Calcorius Drommens and DeicidaDeicidaDeicida is a protector because protection is the only shape his penance can still take.

Unable to reach the main obstruction from above, Calcorius Drommens climbed down into Crash-Landed Airship's interior, where he discovered a large branch speared through the hull. With his short sword in hand, he began hacking at the branch, focused on breaking it apart. As he struck, he noted the branch was almost too bendy.
Clemens “GearwhistleGearwhistleGearwhistle communicates entirely through mimicry — clicks, whistles, and perfectly replicated phrases — but his craftsmanship speaks loudl…” Brackle pulled out a piece of paper and charcoal, quickly sketching a rough map for Osbourne

He pointed to their current position, indicating Nevos to the east, The Eagle and Child Inn and nearby farms to the south, and the river leading north to New Nevos. "Look, if we can get this thing up and we go north, we can follow the river to Nervos," he explained, adding, "But we should stay away from the west because Mont de Amour is there, and airships will surely see us." Osbourne

DeicidaDeicidaDeicida is a protector because protection is the only shape his penance can still take. Once the consecrated Sentinel of the Argent Temple,… approached the Helm, examining its intricate assembly of wheels, levers, gears, and embedded crystals. "Did Rob have manuals on this thing?" he asked, glancing around for guidance. He then inspected a nearby chest, finding it filled with ballista ammunition, rope, and miscellaneous items, but no instructions for operating the Helm. He called down to his companions, urging them to ask Clemens “Gearwhistle
GearwhistleGearwhistle communicates entirely through mimicry — clicks, whistles, and perfectly replicated phrases — but his craftsmanship speaks loudl…” Brackle how to fly Crash-Landed Airship, as he continued to study the controls before him.
With a sudden jolt, Crash-Landed Airship shot straight upward, climbing into the sky. The crew gasped as they felt the rush of altitude, soaring several hundred feet above the Cradlewood Forest. From this height, they beheld a sweeping view of the winter landscape: the coniferous trees of the northern forest stretching northward, a river winding through the woods to the east, and the terrain thinning into plains to the west. The late-day sky cast a golden hue over the scene. Amidst the excitement, one voice broke through, "Gronk Ron lever! Sorry guys. It's flying now!"
After the chaotic rescue, Clemens “GearwhistleGearwhistleGearwhistle communicates entirely through mimicry — clicks, whistles, and perfectly replicated phrases — but his craftsmanship speaks loudl…” Brackle guided Cidrella Vexweld at the Helm, allowing her to familiarize herself with the controls. With a sudden pull of a lever, Crash-Landed Airship shot upwards, reaching a height of 200-300 feet. From this vantage point, they gazed at the sprawling Cradlewood Forest, the river cutting through it to the east, and the plains beyond to the west. The sight of Mont de Amour's immense aqueducts to the southwest and the great lake by Nevos to the east was visible. Amidst the excitement, Osbourne
