I would also say that instead of a massive balloon hanging over, it has two long balloons lined underneath the top engines extending the entire length of the ship.

Would you say that they're also armored in a way similar to the squid's hull? I could see that working.

Also post coming down the pipeline.

With a ship this big, some light armor would help a bit around that area.

I don't have anything.
I could make one of my chars say again that "to open the safe you'd need a very precise demo man or a very skilled lockpicker", but I don't think it's necessary.
Was it not for the damaged aircraft, Emil would just jump in and fly, but sadly he can't.

Everything depends on the lone fighter pilot now: either he disables the engines and lets the ally vessel board the Goldfish, or he is shot down and we need to use the Shadow to broadside the hell out of the fugitive ship.

If I'm correct in my assumptions the Eagle's Shadow would not be fast enough to catch the ship, that said we do have a number of long range weapons, a single flak shell may not destroy the ship but it might shred the engines. Carn has our Anvalan Merc but I don't recall if he has it loaded on his ship and I also don't know what our escorts are equipped...

Long range shelling is all it would need

Been busy but I'll get to it. Also Carn has something in mind, I just haven't seen him

"Carn has something in mind"

Ok, now everyone get some popcorn, lay back and enjoy the show: epicness is about to happen














Not to say that your all stories and events are epic, but Carn's events are
manly-explosively-brutally-Angleany epic.

Post in, apologies for the delay, been a shade busy with school.  I do have a plan, and I should have enough to go on to put it in effect my next post.  Also Pies, deny Alister permission to board.  If he would be a tad more agitated, it will make things splendid.

Eh no problem, so long as we don't go The Skies Have No Limits level of posting drought we'll be fine. But with four people posting regularly enough we should be fine.

Onto the actual on-going narrative I can't think of an an actual reason to give any of my characters a reason to deny Alister boarding. Davis doesn't particularly care about the prisoners, after all they're a bunch of raiders who tried to kill him and one of them is a psychopath who he would feel much safer without him on the ship, and most preferably dead. Reagan on the other hand doesn't have a reason to deny him either, more concerned with the retrieval of extremely valuable resources and while in a boarding action damage is more or less guaranteed so long as it's repairable she'll be fine. Now if she thought they couldn't handle the boarding action maybe she would deny them but:

1.) They have Alister.
2.) As far as I know they haven't raided the armory at any point and are mostly unarmed aside for the shipboard weapons, which despite being powerful are also useless in a boarding action once the party reaches the ship, and are also disablable.

Now the only character I can personally think of who would have an issue is Frey, because he would much prefer having the good doctor alive to get information out of. And knowing that Carn also doesn't like him would influence him to keep them away from each other in a combat situation.

And even if we recaptured him Reagan is liable to just shoot him dead rather than keep him alive.

Hmm fair point, I can make it work.  Alister needs to be under a high amount of stress for what I have planned.  The denial would make things easier, but I can still do it easily enough.

Now if Bdr would write Frey telling Alister not to board that would be much easier.

Anyways I have an idea for a short post so I'm going to get that in.

Sooooo, to dramatic?  Otto revealed as a traitor, crew killed/injured, and hanging by a thread?
