But she pulls herself back into reality when she realises Mayor is still on the ground!
She runs over to the side of the ship, spotting Mayor down below. Bohw goes to cry out, but she watches the golem wordlessly raise his hist above his head, as the horde brutally beats on him. Energy seems to be gathering around his outstretched arm, Bohw can't believe what she is seeing, the pose, his weightlessness, his bended knees, surely Mayor isn't that crazy?
Mayor waits, absorbing the attacks as he stalls for as much time as possible, until suddenly, he brings his fist down on the Shade! The impact makes a thunderous explosion, knocking the demons to the ground and throwing Mayor high up in the sky! Bohw can't help but stare in shock as he shoots past the ship. She scowls, wanting to scold Mayor for doing something so reckless, but she has to settle for barking at everyone else, grabbing her bow and pulling the string back tight as she does so. (Begin charging)
"Selphy! Get us out of here! Myra, Ziras! Keep everyone alive! And Nos!"
"Nos...? Nos, what-?! What are you doing?!"
The horde beats on Mayor ineffectually, inflicting 510 damage! Mayor then brings his fist down on the shade, dealing only 37 damage (roll 1+5) but launching himself into the air, where he floats about above the airship!
Bohw gets her CHARGE on. Something is about to get hurt.

Did you NOT just see the absolutely-amazing stunts I pulled on those monsters? Even Savannah approved!- Oh wait, no you didn't see, you were way over there...Either way, YOU had better keep YOURSELF alive, and you can start by going into that healing circle by Selphy!"
Myra pointed the Grovekeeper towards the enemy monsters, channeling her magic through the staff, "I will not falter any time soon!" Myra emphasizes this point by unleashing Genesis upon her enemies!
Instead of unleashing some devastating spell, the staff fills you with a gentle warmth, and you watch as flora practically erupts from the ground around you in an expanding ring of growing plants, until the floor of the airship is practically teeming with plantlife. And though this doesnt seem all that useful, you notice that the magic settles of Savannah and Bohw, binding their wounds together and healing them for 656 health each! (Roll 20+7-2, crit)
Ofcourse, since there are now plants everywhere, that also has the effect of switching Savannah to her magical mode. Oh and you've now discovered the fourth effect of Genesis, which you choose to access specifically if you spend an additional turn focusing before casting Genesis.

"You know, if you want to revel with the best, you need only go to hell", and at this, a gruff expression comes over Watson's face as flames were spewed from his mouth, engulfing the black abomination in alcoholic fire. No one knows how it combusts inside his mouth, but at this point, it's best not to know, lest you combust yourself in attempting to reproduce Watson's fantastic results.
Getting out from under the beasts' furious assault proves more difficult than first expected, but you eventually manage to get to your feet long enough to breathe a cone of fire in its face, burninating it and three of its friends for 210 damage! (roll 2+6)
It then tries to rip you apart again, but only really manages to wave its stabby-arms around in confusion, blinded by your wave of fire. (Hit 1+3 Vs Defense 10)

Before your strength fades, you stab the corshar for 315 damage (roll 12+6)
It then replies by stabbing you right back for 255 damage.

"Mr Ziras, if you can keep flying like that, this ship isn't at full capacity yet. I think you can drag about a dozen people on board before we leave. Try to pick people who won't die horribly from the attackers."
"I think i have a better idea." He says, then casts a spell. With a flash of magic, a bearded fellow in bloodied half-plate wielding a massive hammer appears next to Ziras. He mutters something about not dying just yet, then goes to join the other's holding the railing.
Meanwhile you shield yourself for 525 damage (roll 14+16) and get the airship geared to leave.

He mutters to himself, before finally paying attention to the mass of corshar still swarming around. "I suppose we're leaving soon, then?" He yells, asking whoever could answer him since he doesn't recall who owns the airship.
He claps his hands together and then points one finger at the fore of the ship. His brow furrows as he meets some resistance for what he's trying to do, but eventually his expression softens as he seems to meet success. A tiny black dot appears where his finger is pointing, leaving a smoky trail behind as Nos traces a line around the edge of the ship. The smoke begins to waft into the sky, creating a ring of smoke around the edge of the ship. Enemies on and boarding the ship will be gripped by the Bane of Aggression, the smoke grasping at them and holding them back from attacking.
You bring forth a field of cursed smoke which clings to the monsters, rendering them increasingly ineffective by reducing their power by 30! (Roll 14+11, crit)
---
Mael stabs another corshar! It takes 158 damage and dies. (roll 2+4+3)
Having no further targets of high priority to shoot at, Torhald leaves the turret and rushes to Savannah's aid, viciously slashing her assailant for 450 damage! (roll 11+4+5, crit)
Taran finishes off the monster he smashed last turn.
The shade takes to the air, hovering in front of the airship for a brief moment. "Silence!" It says, almost accusingly, then dives straight for Nos, swinging its ebon blade at him! However, it only deals 170 damage!
The dark figure drains another 150 health from everyone.
