"Is it magical then? Can it be dispelled?"

"Not directly. It is a regular cloud. There may be some magic within it, but it is too far and hidden to do anything to directly."

"So are you saying there is little we can do to stop it?", Timrin asks, "and have we now given ourselves away?"

I do not tihnk we have given ourselves away. I did not shift conditions that extremely. We might be able to stop it...as soon as we figure out what it really is."

"Could it be mobile cover for one or more of those damned airships?", Timrin asks a bit sheepishly.

"Like a boat... being steered back on course.. after a rogue wave hits it," he says thoughtfully. "How difficult would it be to fly up there and have look? I've heard tell that storms and high winds could be treacherous for flyers. Perhaps incorporal... or ethereal would be a better possibility?"

Timrin smiles proudly feeling rather clever.

"It could be. As far as how hard it is to fly around it, it would depend largely on its other defenses or on whether or not its weather control can do just anytihng or is only some sort of mechanism for flight. In the past, these ships have worked by creating updrafts by manipulating wind below or by using fire to create hot air, which rises and pushes against sails on the underside of the ship. "
 

"Maybe we could create another storm to kinda leach away this storms power." Alethia suggested. "Or use the winds themselves to push and pull the storm away. Perhaps a tornado?" She suggested.
 

Trying to get attention from the taller folks debating strategy, Barnak interjects.
"Let me see what I can do to learn a bit more about what's inside the cloud" Barnak will cast prying Eyes:
1 min casting time, 1h/lvl duration, creates 1d4 +lvl eyes, can scout for you.

In the meantine, Murdoch calls upon his Dark foresight invocation on each of the party members. "This should help us avoid nasty suprises", he says sadly, thinking of lady Aleena.
Dark foresight: As foresight , plus communnicate telepathically with target if within 100ft & within line of sight [equivalent to 9th lvl spell]

Timrin looks down at the little wizard smiling broadly, "Excellent idea! Are your little 'eyes' invisible? If so, maybe a look around those command tents would be helpful as well."

Barnak manages to maneuver the eyes up into the clouds. Most are destroyed form being sucked into small dimensional vortexes or burnt with stram coming from nowhere. They find that the bottom of the cloud hides a huge, thin, circular disc, made of some unusual fabric, as big as the cloud itself. In rings, there are areas that can turn to let steam through at varyinh angles, and the ocassional small structure contianing machinery. It seems these house vortecies to and from the paraelemental plane of steam, and they regulate the steam used to raise the structure,and alter the winds by sucking IN air to create them. The flaps themselves are probably for further steering independant of the wind. The remaining eyes go up through these vents, and find that the edges of the disc have some structures, too, possibly guard towers of sorts, and the center is a huge, somewhat-sphereical (or perhaps more like a cylander with somewhat rounded tops and bottoms) structure, It seems that the structuress themselves are made of mitheril.
