Finch hoists himself past the railing of the Espiegel at the same time that Andrea gracefully lands her return. Aredfln and Edmond yell out garbled greetings but continue to toil at their positions to slow the ship's descent. Before anyone can mention Orkan's demise to the captain his body squelches as it slides off the offending javelin and falls into the darkness and scattered torch lights below.
Judy wracks her mind for solutions to physics problem at hand but comes up short on a solution. She curses the lack of time. Had she enough to perform her more major smokematter rituals she might have been able to mitigate the current disaster.
Another swarm of shards cause countless more perforations in the Ozcrow. Aredfln yells for the crew to brace themselves. While everyone scrambles to secure themselves to the ship with rope they can see that the other Imperial and Confederate ships are victims to the same fate. The mystery enchanter's ship and a second turn their aim towards the Confederate sky galley that was circling the situation. The last sight the crew sees before impact are the oncoming legions of foot soldiers pouring down from both sides of the valley.
Consciousness creeps back hand in hand with a splitting headache. Andrea shoves a large piece of a support beam off her body and pulls herself up onto four legs. The ringing in her ears quiets down and she hears the sound of battle all around her. She steps out a couple paces from the debris and sees she is surrounded by the thick of battle and behind the Imperial line to boot.
Judy gets a wet hello from Henry. She can tell from the pressure that she is pinned beneath a chunk of the deck. She struggles to shove the debris off but can't get physical leverage because of the sacks of flight powder cushioning her from below. She too can guess the precarious situation around but can't confirm with her eyes yet.
Finch opens his eyes and meets the welcoming gaze of an unmoving body. He turns his gaze up and sees Imperials dragging bodies away from the scattered wreckages of airships. A lieutenant of some sort stands about twenty paces away with a familiar blade at her side. She examines the fine dindavaran saber in between giving out orders.
A noise erupts from behind a well preserved hull followed by a pained scream. Zwiche barrels through another two shocked Imperials and claims their heads with the axe and sword he wields in each hand. The lieutenant from nearby.
Lieutenant-[Imperial]: "Untamed violence! Slay 'dis beastly ghoul a' monsters ought be slain!."
