Aremus was level 8 in my personal notes, but some how still level 7 on the RG page. We must have levelled up at some point that a lot of us missed...

It takes several days of flying through the stormy, freezing skies above The Purple Rocks, but eventually you all spot a bizarre-looking yet seaworthy vessel with a hull that resembles a giant squid. As it plies the Trackless Sea, the top of the forward stabilizing fin remains above the water while the aft tentacles trail behind underwater.
At your airships current height, you remain undetected for the moment. It would take a perception check to determine how many sailors are on deck, but you can all immeditely tell that there is no storm giant in sight.

Aremus gave a rousing speach to his crew about how they'd be victorious. He plagiarized liberally from popular pirate and naval tales, and when he finished, he called, "Man the ballista and fire a warning shot over their bows! We'll give them a chance to surrender peacefully before we keel haul 'em!"
(He didn't actually know what that meant, and he would have been horrified to find out).

Dren moved to the rail at the bow and peered down at the squid-shaped ship below them. “Anybody got a glass?” the dwarven monk asked as he peered down, trying to get an idea of the numbers they were going to face.

"Do we just drop down on them? Do we even bother with negotiating? We should have thought about taking some barrels of oil or big stones to drop on them."
Ordrar studies the situation
"Maybe dropping them a message would be more impressive if they don't see anything but the message. Especially if it simply says 'We're watching you.' Then we do several such surprises over several days. Let's see what they do."

Dren: You'd see a 11 people total on the deck, four of which are stationed at ballistas facing different directions. You would also notice that the center of the ship is open, which provides a view of the inside. There you would glimpse a giant blue humanoid tied up in chains.

"Belay the warning shot!" ordered Aremus when Dren reported (he was happy to use another nautical term), "We must pounce like a cat! Fire the ballista at their ballista! I'm taking us in!"
He directed the helm to swoop down on the enemy, eager to accomplish the rescue mission.

“There be a giant there,” Dren told the others. “We shuild take oot those ballistas.”
As the airship dove, Dren calculated the distance. Then he ran for the rail, planted his foot, and leaped off. He spread his arms, his loose clothing catching the air, and using his mastery of elements to direct the wind to slow his fall.
Dren called on the powers of air and earth, and the loud sound of a gong exploded over the nearest ballista and its operator.

"Exactly, Dren! Their ballista! Would you go and fire ours at one? Dren? Dren!" Aremus steered the ship while the dwarf disappeared over the rail.

"And here I thought I saw crazy in the ogre cavern."
Ordrar turns the ballista toward the ship and shoots down into its counterpart on the kraken ship.
OOC: what would be the roll?
Here is one Generic: 1d20 = [13][/roll] add whatever is needed as the modifier
