Garroth almost loses his cool when he realizes that his solid punches had only minor effects on the rot bag in front of him. Forming a plan, he lunges for the thing's fly token on it's belt, only to see the thing be a lot more nimble than he expected.
CM to grab fly token (1d20+6=8)
Deciding to take a chance that the magic was gone anyway, Garroth follows through with the bull rush attempt to knock the foul thing overboard, only to fail yet again.
Synatria looks around and sees the danger they are in. She sighs, and, putting down her crossbow, begins speaking in an ancient voice.
"Earth and Wind, long have I been your faithful servant. Send me your champion, to aid me in my need!"
Mist begins swirling around before her.

In the same instance that Jaxon feels the zombie's head separate from it's body he springs nimbly between Joyelle and her attacker Acrobatics check to avoid attack of opportunity 1d20+8=25 before delivering a decisive blow to the undead cur and spouting off some hardly understandable insult. 1d20+6=25
Garroth bullrush the undead thing before him to know effect but takes a wide gash from it's sword in the process Joyelle is unable to fool her opponent but jax slams his hammer into the undead thing taking half it's face, the zombie yells in rage as it slices Jax across the shoulder Haedric lets off a fiery bolt but fails to hit the undead attacking Garroth.Synatria calls out to the power of the land and calls forth an ally in the shape of a wolf who appears near her on the deck. All the while the last undead loads and starts to turn the shipsbow toward the deck.
Smiling through the wound, Jaxon took advantage of the rage fueled wide swing and maneuvered swiftly beneath the zombie's arm. acrobatics 1d20+8=22 He knew that he now had the foul creatures attention and Joyelle would be much more effective if she wasn't the focal point of the attack."Let's go you bastard!" he demanded before bringing the warhammer to bear once more. 1d20+6=19
Haedric fires another flaming ray at the undead near the controls, but he once again only scorches the deck.
Energy Ray missed again, alright? Unless 11 hits, in which case it did 1 damage.
Yelling in pain, Garroth makes another lunge for the token. Failing again to secure it, he makes a mad rush at the zombie and throws it off the ship, hoping the token is out of 'juice'. "SOMEONE TAKE OUT THAT ROTBAG AT THE BALLISTA!!!!" he screams.
The fight turns as Jax smashes more of his foes face, Garroth rushes the undead thing before him failing to grab the token but throwing the creature from the ship. Jax takes a slice across his back As the wolf fails to trip his attacker. Synatria reloads her crossbow as Joyelle pushes the zombie on the deckbow over the rail.
Joy drops her rapier and picks up the crossbow with the undead bane bolts in it that she had dropped up here earlier. She takes careful aim at the zombie that was still attacking Jax.
The undead's head explodes as the bolt slams into it. Leaving only a headless corpse that crumbles to the deck.
"Oh, for the love of ... they're going underneath the ship!" Garroth, moving as fast as he possibly can, grabs his silk rope and grappling hook. He'll tie the free end of the rope around his waist, secure the grappling hook on the railing, and hop over the side closest the last place he saw the undead go under the ship. He'll try to rappel down until he gets to the underside, and draw his dagger as he goes.
Haedric rushes back to the controls, quickly taking back control. "So, they're under the ship. I'm sure this can outrun them."
Haedric
You have been moving at about 20 MPH, the ship could go faster maybe 35-40 MPH, however without the fly skill, it would be harder for you untrained to control the ship at such speeds
Haedric
** spoiler omitted **
Synatria swears and, dropping the crossbow, draws her dagger. She runs to one of the zombies, nervously searching for a fly token. If she finds one, she clips it to her belt and makes a running leap off the ship.
1d20+4=17 Fly
Garroth glides down the side of the ship as Synatria flys from the deck
Under the ship
You see 3 undead hovering beneath the ship. One looks to have been hacking at the belly mounted doors. The other 2 quickly join suit and a grey mist starts to leak from the cracked and splintering door
As Garroth floats down the side of the ship Synatria fly's from the deck.
Underneath the ship
You now see 3 undead hovering close to the ships belly doors. I t looks as if one of them has been working to smash open the door and the other 2 have starting hacking at it. Soon a gray mist starts to leak from the cracked and splintering door
"What the hell is that??!!" Garroth exclaims, seeing the mist coming from the ship. As he grips his dagger and lunges at one of the dead, he yells up to the others, "Haedric! You may want to think about landing this thing. They're trying to bring us down, and if they succeed, the closer we already are to the ground, the better!"
Haedric does not seem to react in any way, but the ship begins to noticeably lower.
Joyelle swings the big crossbow back around so that the exploding arrow is not pointed at the deck of the ship. Just to be sure that there weren't any unfortunate accidents if the ship did happen to crash.
From hearing Garroth's shouts from below, and from common sense-he deducts that the undead are trying to get inside the bomb bay and undoubtedly steal the bombs back. Sprinting to Haedric's side he looked frantically over the controls. " If things go quiet underneath their and we don't respond-Pull up." He states as he busies himself with tying a rope about himself. "They're after the bombs, don't let them have it back. If it looks like they're winnin, take this canoe straight to the moon and set off the satchel charges." He ties the rope to the side rail and looks back knowingly."If i don't see you again then you should know it's been an honor serving with you." Leaving them with a wink, Jax materialized his hammer and jumped out in order to swing under the airship.
"Roger."
Garroth misses the evassive undead but throws his aim off enough to advoid aa hit. Two of the undead keep smashing the belly door, as the mist leaks out. Jax swings over the side and throws his hammer but his aim is off from the jump. The ship starts to dive as Headric looses control and Joyelle rights the deckbow.Synatria flys toward the belly door and casts mending healing some of the damage the undead have done
New round folks
Joyelle swears as the ship lurches. She stumbles back over to Triage, quickly searching through his gear for a repair potion to give him.

Oh well. Anyways, all's forgiven, I haven't been around that much, it was natural to assume. So do I need to roll Fly checks ever round?
Synatria attempts to attack again. 1d20+1=19, 1d3+1=4.
"Won't you things die already?!" Garroth exclaims, growing frustrated at the way the fight has gone. He lunges at the undead with his dagger again, but misses wildly.
Groaning in frustration, he finds a hidden reserve of strength, and lunges a second time . Unfortunately, he misses yet again.
Joyelle feeds the potion to the warfoged bringing him back active. Synatria slashes the undead thing , and it stops bashing the door to strike at her, but she evades the hasty blow. Headric rights the ship and it starts to climb.Garroth floating close by is unable to land a blow upon the undead solder. Jax lands a light blow on the zombie who fails to hit the bobbing soldier

Synatria flies back, and murmurs a spell. Ghostly leaves fly up from below, and they form before her, glowing with magic, to make a shield.
Joyelle pulls her rope and grappling hook out of her pack, ties the rope around her waist and prepares to let herself down to help deal with the zombies under the ship.
"I'm about to go do something stupid, so if you could spare some healing, I'd appreciate it," she said to Triage with a grin.
Haedric stands hunched over the controls, desperately working them. "Pull up, pull up pull up..."
Garroth recovers, and lunges once again at the closest Karrnathi undead. This time, his dagger slashes the already-dead menace (I think).
"What ... ?" The warforged is disorientated for a moment - he had been in the middle of battling the Karrnathi undead!
He felt the familiar tingle of an elixir of repair and understood.
Now able to process Joyelle's request, Triage does not hesitate to heal the woman. He lays his hand upon her and intones softly, "Rememdium illa aduro vulnus."
