Pushing himself up, Whifflebottom spits up a bit of blood and wipes at his lips with the back of his hand.

"Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes me bleed my own blood!"

The gnome shouts as he gestures, summoning a trio of arcane bolts that he sends hurtling towards one of the unarmored X-Ds. The bolts fly into the creature's eyes, causing them to burst and the creature to collapse, quite dead.

"Take that!"

Up on the mid-deck, Ensign Wedge begins to shake as the shrieking whine of the X-D vessel reaches his ears.

"Cap'n! It's coming back!"

"Man the ballistas! This time, we're taking that thing down!"

"A-Aye aye!"

Ensign Wedge shouts, joined by the other crewman present, each of them manning a ballista on either side of the Archangel.

Meanwhile, below deck the remaining crewman struggle to save their comrades.
