Blanche thinks for a second before responding, "I'm not willing to risk all of our lives on trying to commandeer that thing, and our ship can't exactly grapple it. Let's focus on making sure that thing gets to ground, then we can focus on keeping it there and securing the crash site." She leans over to peer at the ship, and the muscles in her shoulders relax with a sigh of relief as she sees Anika and Co. emerge onto the exterior of the ship.

"Hold your fire until our team is out of the firing line, then lay suppressive fire to keep it from trying to climb."

Bombmercials

The catgirl's eyes widen as the prop she's straddling starts to accelerate, gripping what she can on the chassis as best she can as the vibrations rattle through her body. Gosh, Azil wasn't kidding.

It's a little hard to give Anika or the crew much of a sign here - Blanche isn't really willing to let go so she can give them a thumbs up or anything - so she makes do with an attempt at a reassuring smile back at them, even as a slight blush rises in her cheeks.

Good.

Good, Geneva is helping.

She might not know a great deal about airships, but thankfully the crew does. A little psychic bolstering here and there appears to have improved the situation. Geneva is still feeling a bit off-balance from her double getting exploded but she's definitely doing much better now.

~I'll escort our friends back. The enemy ship might still have fliers to deploy,~ Geneva sends to Blanche before spinning in a little circle a few times and vanishing in a cloud of pixels.

*VIP!*

Only to pop back in near the VIGILANTES fleeing the ship.

~Is everyone alright?~ Geneva sends to the ghoul, the witch, and the druid. ~We weren't able to raise any of you on the communicators.~

Awen does fly her broom back down the hallway, making sure her hair is gripping tightly on the broom (because she doesn't trust her hand to hold tightly on it enough). (And, really, she doesn't even have to be sitting on the broom, just holding it, to fly.)
This, mercifully, saves her from having to stare at bikini bottoms, because she can just fly up while the other two are discussing how Laz has to climb on her own.

She hovers just slightly above the ship.
Awen glances at Anika: she knows that Anika can fly, but she doesn't quite know if she can fly and carry Laz at the same time. "Oh, good, fresh air again." In there was really stuffy and hot. "So...come on, let's get back to our ship."

Operation Sea Slug

Will can hear what sounds like a clap as he will suddenly find that Lannereth is sitting on his shoulders. "No one's falling for wha-" That's when she looks down. "Oh! Erm..." She isn't particularly heavy, being literary just bones and clothes underneath her illusion, so Will could probably carry her around if he wanted to.

Leopold stares at them, his jaw dropping.

Spotting the child, Lannereth doesn't skip a beat and points towards their foe. "I- I mean, yes! Charge! For the empire! Let's show this overgrown lizard what humans and gnolls can do together!"
But regardless if Will actually does act as her mount or not, Lannereth gestures with her staff towards Titania and black energy starts to pour out of it and into her as she's lifting the rock.

She will suddenly find it even easier to lift but also smaller.
In fact everything around her also seem smaller, including the dragon. Will seeing her rapidly growing in size as the energy envelops her.
"Tittytania, destroy this fool!" Lannereth shouts and then starts to cackle as she sees Titania run back and starts to bash the dragons skull in with her Big Rock.

The dragon seems taken by surprise and is completely overcome as the Big Rock seems to go right through her spellery and actually starts cracking her bones. All she can do is let out a rather pathetic whimper and declare. "A- a temporary setback!" Then the blinks away Titania can get another hit in, the tree she was pinned under falling to the ground. However, it looks like she left behind a piece of her horn and a couple of teeth that fell off while Titania was slamming the rock into her face.

"AHAHAAH! Yes, that is the fate of anyone that opposes the empire!" Lannereth raises her staff triumphantly in the air before patting Will's head. "Good job, everyone!"

Titania is currently the size of a building or about 50 feet tall, which is also where she seems to stop growing.

[Moonwell Convergence]

It should be noted that the ship is almost right above the moon well right now which finally really does make this a moonwell convergence.
Anika nods to Awen. "Yeah! You got the broom, I can bird and Laz, uh-" Thankfully, she's interrupted by Geneva who provides the answer she's looking for. "You got miss pink!"
She gives the mew a thumbs up. "Great timing, Pinky. Couldn't have been better. We lost those communication thingies, but it doesn't matter now. Let's get off this wreck." And so in a swirling green cloud Anika turns into a big red dog falcon.

The ship has lost a lot of momentum so it will still likely take a couple of minutes before it crashes into the side of the mountain. Though considering all those warning lights and signals going off inside of it, it might be more than just a crash if it isn't stopped.

"As you wish, missy." The foxy fellow remarks with a glance at the obelisk ship. "Suppose whatever remains of it after the crash should be worth something."

He then goes to follow orders along with the rest of the crew. While their ship had been damaged it was still air-worthy and could easily follow the demonic vessel, especially as it was now moving remarkably slowly.

Blanche can see Geneva appear near the team and how Anika turns into a Falcon, seemingly getting ready to leave.

((There's one more scene, but I will add it later.))
