My party was discussing how to get into Stormholt to assault the Black Whale prison-ships and one of them brought up airships. They also enjoyed the Dragonfly Pagoda dungeon and realized that it should be completed by now.
That's when one (I think the monk?) had the brilliant idea "What if the Dragonfly Pagoda was actually an airship?!"
As everyone was excitedly freaking out, I took a solid 3 minutes to think about it. Not having prepared anything close ot this (they can literally just take a rowboat to the Black Whale), this idea is too good to pass up. Right now they are already in the Black Whale, working their way through the prison, but I want to explore setting up the Dragonfly Pagoda as a vehicle they can use later on.
I'm thinking using the standard Airship stats (https://2e.aonprd.com/Vehicles.aspx?ID=1) to represent the Pagoda and having Olansa Darvakka minions attacking Absalom from the skies to create an dogfight between the PC's and the Darvakkas.
What do you think? This is going to be a BIG addition to the adventure, but it sounds so rad that I don't want to just ignore the idea.
That sounds awesome! Only two issues that spring to mind; access to an airship will make boarding Graveraker trivial, and potentially enable the party to bypass the majority of the Grey Queen's Tower.
