The enemy's morale is quite low, and Murdoch and Barnak's show of force was a very effective deterrent, especially for humans used to be being bullied by magical bosses. The sudden appearance of rest of you scares them even more, especially Dryia's writhing, multiheaded whip and Alethia and Shando's frightening glows.
The leader bows before Timrin. "I am Gamulos. I will take responsability for these men. The ship is yours. There are no traps. We will return with you to Silverymoon."
"They will treat us fairly. We have no other choice. What say you, men?"
The troops seem to agree.

Once they seem to agree, Alethia shimmering glow fades once she sees how well and truely frightened these guys are and a hint of sympathy creeps in. These guys need healing of some sort or another, I'd like to stay and help Shando. She told Timrin briefly through Naverone. Most of these guys look like they're just cannon fodder, dupes really. If we can turn them to our side, that will help out more in the long run than trying them for war crimes or whatever. And in the end, helping Silverymoon's defenses will go along way in atoning for those warcrimes.

There isn't actually any evidence any of these guys committed any war crimes. All they did at this battle was sail in its direction and get shot down. Without divination, it would be impossible to find out what these guys may or may not have done in previous battles.
Everonye rather frantically tends to the wounded, including some of those you had initiatlly thout were dead and another bunch of wounded you didnt see before. In all, of the 500 who began this mission, 150 or so survived, about half of whom are badly hurt.
Timrin calls everyone together briefly.
"I doubt these men will give any of us trouble but I would suggest at least two of us remain outside the ship to guard them and tend to their wounds. I would suggest Shando and Alethia for this task. You both have the ability to heal and means of quick escape should they decide to rise up. Naverone can keep those of us inside abreast of what is going on should trouble arise."
"Fin, we will most certainly need your expertise in getting the water ejected from the lower levels. I imagine you are up to the task?", he smirks knowingly.
"Dyria and I will simply play bodyguards to Murdock and Banak. Their arcane knowledge is the only hope we have of getting this hulk back off the ground."
He looks around the group for agreement.

Fin can summon more water elementals who can make quick work of it. Barnak and Murdoch find that they have quite a bit of trouble using the manual controls, though they can manage. They would need a device to translate the language from the control crystal to use it. Naverone, however, can fly it pretty well with the control crystal. The inside is a total mess, thans to the blizzard and the flooding. It will need quite a bit of refurbishing on the inside to look really nice again. There are also plenty of magical features in this thing that do not work yet, but it can fly, and most of the weapons work (most of those that do not, do not becuase there is no more dry gunpowder. There is plenty of that in Silverymoon). After several hours, you manage to get it off the ground.
Are you going to load in the troops, or make them march to Silverymoon? Then what?

"We should spend bring back these poor souls to Silvermoon, arm the weapons, and then go Dragon-Demon hunting. What say you all?"
Timrin cups his hand in his chin thoughtfully.
"Murdock, Shando, and I can march this lot back to Silverymoon*. The rest of you can remain to guard the ship."
"What I would like to do is keep the fact that the ship is operable under wraps. If we eliminate the threat of the demon dragon, perhaps the defenders of Silverymoon can make repairs to the vessel and keep it secure."
"I can see using this as a weapon against the twice-damned somewhere down the road but I'd rather not tip our hand just yet."
*because we can move fast

"Get going then," Alethia said with a grin. "I'm sure we can keep ourselves occupied. There's still plenty of things we took from Calicos which needs to be identified."
"Timrin, if you can, while you're in SilveryMoon, see if you can stock up on things that'll down a demonic beastie made of magma. You know, cold-based things would probably work best." she waved towards the ship. "Meanwhile, we'll look around and see if we can find anything that'll take that flying demon thing down."
ooc:
We probably need a loot list from the stuff we took from Calikos when we chopped off his head. Also, since we're going up against a fiendish dragon made of magma and flame, I think we should stock up on cold based weapons/spells. I know Alethia really doesn't have much in the way of such things as she's used to hunting things that are very vulnerable to fire.

Hiding the ship is not really possible, but Naverone does manage to fly it to the city.
You can buy cold-based items in the city.
The enemy chooses not to approach the city to rescue Cronos' men. Moving into range of the city's seige weapons and wizards requires too much of a committment to recover the decimated force. You manage to march them down without difficulty.
However, as you move through some nearby trees, one of them seems to open up, and Beor unmelds from it. He says "I have come to warn you. Things are turning bad in Waterdeep. Zarun claims he has evidence that Lt. Cmdr. Kiran was a Rashemi agent who convinced Aleena to authorize the attack on the Thayan Enclave and ruin relations between Waterdeep and Thay in preparation for an invasion. Of course, this works hand-in-hand with Thay's claim that Rashman was preparing to attack them, which they are using to justify the war they are now waging against Rasheman. To make matters worse, they are implicating you in the cover-up. He claims that you arranged to get Kayla into his house to spy on him, and you brought her here to help her escape the city when he became suspicious. It is only a matter of time before Zarun sends his men, and the City Guard to raid your company and arrest everyone. "
