"It must be boring to remain there staring the whole day" Leira moves her falchion trying to destroy the statue next to her "Let's give you some excitement and fun!" she steps a bit back and tries to destroy the one in the NW corner to avoid possible future flanking.
Zavier starts working on the statue to the SE

Leira's blow smashes into the statue, shattering it into tiny pieces.
Zavier starts hitting a third statue, doing significant damage, it is still there but only just.
Gallant will keep trying to break this thing down.
Sid will delay.
[i]With two attacks Gallant destroys the statue in front of him.
The remaining statues attack Leira and Zavier.
Gallant takes a 5ft step and tries to help Zavier.
Sid will delay.
Gallant tears into one of the statues, finishing it off. He then moves to attack one of the remaining ones, doing a considerable amount of damage.
The dwarf keeps swinging at the closest statue.

ZAvier grunts as the statues suddenly comes to life and he starts punching at the one that hit him.
Leira twists her falchion to quickly smash another statue.
Dolgrym smashes the nearest statue into tiny fragments.
Between Leira and Zavier the remaining statue is no more.
"Well together you are a force of nature. Is everybody ready for whatever monsters are in the next room?"
Zavier ready to go after happy stick!
In the middle of this room sits a huge cylindrical. open-topped steel tank that exudes a luminous mist toward the ceiling. The tank is equipped with elbow shaped pipes that connect to the floor, and surrounded by four black stelae engraved with mystic symbol. A frieze like array of rectangular silver plaques adorns the cylinder's outer surface.
Sid tries to figure out what the tank does.
Sid you identify the symbols on the side as related to the stars appearing in the skies of Golarion near the horizon. You think that this device is used to steer the sky castle through the skies.
Leira marbles at the discovery "So, this is some kind of navigation device for the castle?" she looks up and whistles "Fffiu, I have heard of a similar technology the Shory Empire used to lift their structures into the skies..."
"Do you know how to control it?" Leira looks at Sid hopeful "I guess we should not destroy this if we want for a controlled descend at some point when the job is done, but perhaps we can go ahead and land it already"
"Let me take a closer look and see if I can work out the steering without killing us all."
Sid you think it might be possible to control it
"I might be able to help if you teach me how" comments Leira.
Dolgrym was not able to help with the UMD checks, sadly.
If Sid is willing to, Leira is going to help "Perhaps we can force it to land in some safe place, but it will only call attention of the Storm Tyrant forces. Shall we first finish him before trying to control the castle?"
Just in case, here are Leira's rolls.
"I like the idea of landing it. Dolgrym can you pray for guidance? Leira, you are over there. I need hands and eyes. Zavier as soon as we and you and gallant tear a few pieces of the controls out the giants can get it moving. Everybody in position this may get bumpy."
Sid walks up to the controls and takes a deep breath. "They have been doing all the fighting all you have to do is land an ancient flying war machine without killing them." He mutters under his breath.
Between Leira and Sid you are able to control the device.
Leira gives a quick at Sid "Do you think the giants know how to swim?"
"If they can they won't be fast so they won't easily get away and cause problems.'
Sid aims for the centre of the largest body of water he can. If he knows of any with large dangerous predators in it he will land it there.
"There is a closer place, not that large, but perhaps enough. I know about a big lake around the Fortress of Scarwall. It is a scary place east of the Midspin mountains in the Hold of Belkzen, a few miles northwest of Trunau" Leira exclaims while she tries to help Sid hold control of the fortress "There is rumor that some purple worms inhabit the depths of the lake"
”So, it’d be a good idea for us to get off this thing before we sink it then,” Dolgrym thinks out loud.
Zavier nods st the suggestion!
"I can get us off right before the island hits the water just stay close."
Can you tell me what the overall plan is and what Zavier, Dolgrym and Gallant will be doing whilst Leira and Sid are piloting.
"Ok, what about trying this" Leira cleans the sweat out of her forefront product of the raising tension "Zavier and Dolgrym you can try to defend the doors while Sid and me, we try to maintain control of the flying device. It will takes us some time, hence it might be the giants send some patrols to see what is going on"
"Once we land the castle, we try to go up as the castle starts to sink causing disorder among the giants" the girl turns back to Sid "If we find us surrounded by water, can we count you teleporting just right to the top of the castle where the Storm Tyrant is likely to be found?"
”Sounds like a plan. Bashing giants is fun,” Troll Dolgrym grunts.
Dolgrym and Zavier you can hear the sounds of something swishing coming along the corridor
Some sort of water thing coming! Zavier warns
Dolgrym casts Stoneskin on himself, gaining DR 10/adamantine.
"I have your backs. Ha! How many people get to avenge their own death via crashing a flying island and killing a giant king. Yes, truly I am nearly at piece."
Leira keeps trying to keep control of the engine "You are true defenders and protectors! Buy us some time, we are just some minutes away from our target!"
Coming into view is a creature whose body is seemingly made of iron, this shapely feminine form has wrists pierced by chains that end in curved blades.
Despite she is busy, Leira open her eyes wide as she tries to understand and explain to the others what did just enter the room.
Leira and Sid you recognise the creature as a crucidaemon. They have damage reduction except against good and silver weapons. They are immune to acid, bleed, death effects, disease and poison. They are also resistant to cold electricity and fire and have spell resistance
"For others fighting I have align weapon and bless weapon oils."
Zavier needs alignment! he says with his fists raised as the monster appraoches.
"Crucidaemons!" exclaims Leira while trying to hold control of the flying structure "Yes, you are going to need silvery good weapons, and try to avoid energy, specially acid. Be warned they have resistance to magic"
