Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

"Alright then," Alethia moves over to some promising looking levers and under Naverone's direction begins to pull them and smash them as appropriate in order to turn this blasted thing off....

She gets rid of a few gears to stop it form going back on automatically, then pulls the lever. The machine stops glowing and an array of crystals near the lever begin to glow. Various crystals in the room start fading. Gthering what he can form his telepathic connection to the ball downstairs, Naverone says it will be a while before it starts cannibalizing itself, and it is too early to be certain that once that happens it will hit the army not the city.

Naverone says that those in the control room are increasing the use of the engine, actually accelerating the ship and doing more to stabilize it. It seems that it is veering north slightly, such that it could possibly miss the city and the army if it gets far enough.

"Is there any way to increase the power drain?

Naverone says everything "expensive" -- mostly the various planar conduits and weather control abilities that make up the engine and the weapons, are towards the bottom of the ship. You could try breaking stuff in here, but its unclear what that will do. Naverone has a sense that he COULD control it somehow form here, but it would take hours to figure out how to do much more than the basic "find where stuff is" that he's been doing.

"We don't exactly have hours my friend. Just point us to the stuff that needs to be ahh liberated, smashed or killed and that will probably be our best chance of making this work." Alethia said pragmatically. This entire place was giving her the spiritual 'heebie-jeebies', probably due to the fact that this place was most assuredly master-minded by Shar and her new bestus friends the Twice-damned.

"We need to get this thing destroyed before it can hurt anyone and we can't just drive it back to Waterdeep and let the authorities have at it." she grimanced. "This amount of power in the wrong hands... Even if the hands are on our side." she shook her head, letting the sentence hang."

Naverone suggests "Anything we get rid of will just stop draining power."

(Naverone has no experience with things like this. He can communicate with the device, but he has no special understanding of how it works. He is not a wizard, archivist, bard, or any other sort of learned magic user. His powers are natural abilities and he knows a bit about rituals, but thats it. He has a good bit of Knowledge(Planes) that helps with some of it, but not enough in arcana or engineering. He does not have any generalized knowledge ability, like Bardic Knowledge, Harper Knowledge, or Archivist Knowledge. Looking over your stats, no one has much in the way of skills to make detailed assertions about how this works. Well, Maggie would, but she's not there.)

"You'd have to either get to the engine itself, which is around the bottom of the ship, or, MAYBE, go around the edge breaking some of the portals, but that could take a long time and is extremely dangerous, and its possible that you'll have to break a whole lot to actually finish the job, since there are so many weather control things going on here."

 

[Hawkeye]

"Then I guess there isn't much more we can do here."
