Mayor lurches forward as he focuses himself, an irritable scraping noise is heard as he channels the energy.
Bohw however, is busy chewing Ziras' ear off. "Ziras!" She shouts, arming herself with more explosives. "Stop loafing about, things are not going to get better here! We have to leave, right now! Whenever you like it or not!"
If Bohw is ignored, she promptly gives Ziras five across the face and repeats herself. If he listens, she covers them with a shower of concussion bombs as they retreat.
But suddenly, Mayor stretches out and lets out a guttural roar that seems to shake the ground! The intimidating noise seems to be felt more than heard, as gravity seems to shift slightly towards the raging golem. Crashing his fist against the shield, Mayor taunts all the monsters nearby with a smug pride, he's fully aware that he resembles a certain traitorous elemental right now, he plans to abuse that fact.
Ziras ignores you at first. Then you slap him, and he slowly winds down.
"You're right. Again i have proven to be too weak."
He stands there amidst the chaos, slowly shaking his head in resignation. "Years of preparation, useless. I only wish i could have done more..."
Then Mayor roars, a resonating cry that draws many of the surrounding beasties to throw their rage against him, and so they do, clawing and slashing and tearing, dealing a total of 534! And yet he stands strong, because guess who has damage reduction? Even the shade's blow for 300 damage does not halt him just yet.
"We've got to get out of here. Come."
Ziras wastes no further time and scoops Bohw up. Holding her, Ziras leaps into the air, a pair of radiant wings materializing on his back as he flies aboard the airship. "And so i condemn my people to death." He mutters as he lands. You also managed to drop a couple bombs behind you as he flew you away, dealing 161 damage to the shade and the things around it.

She summons another gale to knock more enemies off-deck, then yells down to allies below, "Hey, get up here! We gotta go while we still can!"
You summon a gust of wind, blowing two corshari clean off of the ship! (roll 6+7-2)

She slides to a stop and flashes the man that saved her a thumbs up and a smile. She then gets the pleasure of seeing Myra brutalize the two corshar. Maybe she should be nicer to the Ravenfolk.
"Holy hell, thanks!" Savannah shouts to Myra, then whirls around to deal with the monster that just attacked her, impaling it with her spear.
You finish off the beast with an impaling jab for 403 damage (roll 17+6) before it can maul you again. It disperses into mist, but its place is soon taken by another of its kind, leaping over the railing! It rips the man who helped you apart, then sets its eyes on you.

You cast a new healing circle. This one will heal for 36 health per turn for 4 turns. (Roll 18+9-3)
You then blast the thing that had been harassing you to pieces with a well-aimed shot from the rifle, dealing 704 damage. (roll 17+6)

He groans as he gets up, though his wounds have been well-tended to for a while now. He clutches his head and is still for a moment. The ship is not, of course, but he keeps his balance and relaxes his posture slightly.
"This ship seems familiar. Heheh, too familiar." The laugh comes out forced, and Nos is silent and reflects on that for a moment. Something's going on. I don't think I have a lot of time. Have to hurry. Where is everyone? The sounds of combat catch Nos's attention properly. He grabs his hammer and races above deck.
What's going on above deck?
Nos quickly climbs out onto the deck and takes in what's going on. Back in the town, monsters everywhere,
This is a waste of time. I should try to swiftly oust all these rats, but I can't help but feel like there's a more effective way. With a flourish, Nos begins weaving black strands out of the air. He carefully forms a swirling sphere out of them, which he caresses for a moment before releasing it into the air. It travels upwards lazily, and after getting quite a distance above the airship it starts to expand outwards more rapidly, creating a field of expanding darkness as it does so. A strange sound starts to emit from the ball as it does so, starting faint and growing into a harsh and high-pitched noise that demands attention.
Nos returns, and immediately starts doing nigh-incomprehensible things, starting out by sending a black sphere sky-wards! Though the sphere's purpose is not immediately evident to those watching, it seems to have immediately earned the attention of a large portion of the nearby monsters, who have by now broken the defender's lines below. And while many of them work on butchering the survivors, an even larger number now turn towards the airship! (Roll 18+11, crit)
And not wasting a moment, Nos gets out a bottle, catching some of the dark smoke of a nearby felled corshar within. Never know when you might need a bottle of doomsday, right?
Nos then catches the nice-looking sword that was thrown at him. It gleams with power.

As he looks towards the source of the sound, Watson is relieved to see his friend roused by the sounds of battle! And the shrieks of the various abominations around them, too, probably!
"Nos! I have an offer! It involves pain and money, the latter doled out after you deal the former to our adversaries! For now, catch!"
Watson lifts his hat for a moment to brandish a glimmering sword, which he then throws to Nos! Nos can totally catch it, right? "Absolutely, no doubt about it!" in Watson's mind.
Meanwhile, Watson had been trying to aim the Heavy Rifle at that parasitic Cordraal, but Selphy keeps fussing with him over the use of the weapon! Oh well, it's the lady's ship after all. He submits, and tries handling the artillery cannon instead, aiming it at a group of corshar.
Well theres a convenient group rapidly gathering around Mayor, so you shoot those, blasting a hole in their ranks. You've got Mayor's metal back.
---
Mael lunges at a nearby corshar, stabbing it for 368 damage! (Roll 3+4, crit)
Torhald lets loose another barrage of bullets, this time on the shade below. He only deals a pathetic 63 damage this time (roll 3+4), most of the bullets striking the other dark creatures surrounding the shade.
Taran heals Torhald, Ziras and Bohw for 341 each (roll 9+4)! However, the light radiating off of him then fades, leaving him to be just normal, boring Taran. Who promptly smashes a corshar for 420 damage. (Roll 20+4)
The armored figure continues siphoning the life of everyone aboard, dealing 428 damage!! Several of the survivors cant take it, and become ex-survivors.
Three corshari attack Myra! Only one of them actually manages to hit, dealing 38 damage. Two attack Savannah, one of them managing to do 45 damage. Two attack Mael. He parries one attack, then takes 135 damage from the other.
The largest corshar charges at Watson, pinning him against the turret he was operating and slashing at him for 198 damage!
