Bel begins to open up the portable hole for everyone to get in.
"My lady, once they get here I will not be able to fly us all away. Either we must kill them all, along with any reinforcements, before this place is bombed or leave now. As much as I like spilling elf blood I'd recommend leaving now and letting them die in fire."
If the formation is far enough away, "Bel fire on the formation!"
Then I add the illusion of half silvered mirrors in the smoke between us and them, which theoretically gives us concealment from them.
If not, then I still make the mirrors but I say, "Alright get everyone in the hole. Lua, my whip please."
Bel adjusts and fires on the formation.
You center the group and fire off the shot

With the fire and shock wave most are blasted away to fall down to the ground.
4 made it with only little damage and seem to be heading back down in erratic patterns.
"Load another shot Bel, then let's get out of here."
When everyone is ready, Naal levitates and signals Bel to fire and let's him grab the other end of whip and fly for the ship. She moves the image to follow them at the max size she can handle and makes it a bowl underneath them and colors it like the sky trying for camoflage.
Norric looks up briefly at the explosion and seeing the weapon in use, and where the ship is before returning to the work at hand.
Nope you have had around 2 mins Norric really there was a lull before the storm the ones below still felt it was an accident up until the point a formation was wasted by you, now they know hostiles are on the tower.
Bel reloads and fires as fast as he can. He'll target to bring everything down. Firing only after everyone is in the portable hole and we're prepared to fly away.
Luaediin takes a deep breath and heads into the hole. After handing over the whip of course.
flies up to the ship after firing with everyone in the hole.
As you pull away you there is a blast from the lower part of the tower, you see in lean then fall onto the ranks of elfs below, this seems to start panic in the streets.A few arrow shots fly past but your to high.
The ship comes into view and you old red eye waving.
Bel flies up and lands skillfully on the ship. He pulls the whip to assist Naal the rest of the way on the ship. He then proceeds to open the portable hole. Peering over the edge he says playfully, "Thank you for flying with us. The exits are here. Here. Here. Here and Here." he points to different sides of the hole as he says "here."
Naal pulls herself on deck and looks at Red Eye,
"I brought you a present."
Naal coils her whip then opens her portable hole to let everyone out and as the prisoner is brought out.
"Doesn't seem to be a warrior, but should have some useful intel. And parading around this catch before executing him publicly should certainly give my enemies pause. Let me know when you are finished my newest slave. Though I do expect him survive. Lua, bring me his stuff particularly his holy symbol once he gets secured."
Naal'suul beams with a positively evil looking grin (which only took her three years practice to get right).
Two of the crew grab the elf, Redeye helps you out Naal'suul
"Thats most kind of you, and if they know any thing of them towers we can makes plans to counter them, we are just about to start our bombing run.
he then turns to Norric.
"Report trooper, you seem to be some short, are they still down there? what of the towers"
You know the ship has now been seen by the forces below and is taking some fire also the ships headed for close to another of the tower.
A Crew man come to redeye
"On your command sir"
he says
You can seen large flacks of the Nap-fire slotting out into racks over the ship.
Now your going to see a thing.
spot check DC25 every one
percep
Perception:
Coming to attention, Norric tosses a salute before relaxing his stance. "Yes sir, Bjorkson's chute failed during our drop. He was able to take out the first of the elves to have seen us coming, however. Aimed himself right for the guard."
Pulling off his bag he pulls out the bolts he grabbed and handed them to Red Eye, "These are the ammunition that they are using. From what I can tell they don't arm until loaded, but they are highly explosive. The weapon is heavily modified scorpion. I've ain't seen the like from the elves before. Almost dwarf-like."
Waving towards Belgraen, "He actually hopped into the firing seat, but I can draw up a sketch of everything I got, might get him in on it too; see what he remembers...As to the towers, as you saw I left 'em a little goodbye present. And figured it'd be a better cairn for Bjorkson."
"You did well Norric, yet another commendation"
Norric you see some of the crew looking on at you kind of ore struck, at any dwarf would survive such a raid.
Red looks at the odd looking bolt.
"Where the blasted hells did they get this kind of weapon from?"
She says to himself then seems to come back to the here and now.
"Shame about Bjorkson, but he did his clan proud, I shell tell them the Honor he won this day."
he looks about the craft
"I'm going to start the run, you had best make yourselves of use this may get hairy"
the Craft dips and picks up speed as it drops to the city below.
As the ship flys over the city you start to drop the fire bombs.
Blow the explotions ripapart the biuldings and trees starting a fire storm. Some shots hit the ship but at this range they are inafactive.
As you turn about, you see the fires rage.
"Right we run like hell back to the fleet now." Says Red eyes.

"Discretion is the better part of valor. Plus exploding wasn't on my list of things to do today."
Perception:
Killing, certainly was though. We can check that one off now. Oh Joy.
He stares the prisoner in the eyes never breaking gaze, attempting to penetrate his psyche and make the dwarfs jobs easier.
Intimidate:
Naal will channel energy,
"Killing is indeed fun but blowing things up is much more fun I think."
"I'm going to start the run, you had best make yourselves of use this may get hairy"
"Aye, Sir." Then runs off to one of the firing positions.
After the run, he returns to the deck with Drow, "Aye blowing things is lotsa fun. Ya' just gotta make sure your not still there when you do it."
Behind you the bombs fall and you see the vast city start to burn, you see the tall trees light up and bodies fall out of them and the whole flaming from comes crashing down into the elf kingdom city. Whole buildings explode as the fire storm reaches them, you can feel the shockwaves and heat even from on high.
You see a wing on summoners head your way but they meet 5 blasts from the side canons and soon most if not all of them are falling from the sky.
Naal looks on as one of the flayers heads for the side of the air ship and then falls as a prismatic shield gos up around craft.
"That shocked him,
says red eye
"We can do that only a limited number of times but its helps, Problem now is they can see us"
He orders the ship about as shots, arrows and magic come up now hard and fast.
"Time to make a dash out of range, ALL HAND FULL SPEED BACK TO THE FEEL, REPEL ANY THING THAT COMES AFTER US"
You cans some a number off things are coming after you.
Spots from every one, if your going to man a gun tell me what.
Perception:
Norric will stay at his current firing position with his rifle for the time being. Should a weapon crew fall short he will move to fill in if able.
Perce
Perception:
Luaediin will man the first gun he sees and start shooting down elves with childlike glee.
Naal will be using her rifle, getting practice on an unstable platform is always good training.
You see some thing big tailing you but its keeping well back. just for a moment, high up.
