An aerial encounter with a goblin airship, its captain, and crew, with stat blocks.
The Vagrant Nimbus’s journey, while direct, is not short. Days stretch on uneventfully, broken up by only conversations, card games, and occasional rough weather. That is until one overcast day, as the Nimbus’s path takes it through perilous mountain peaks, when a crewmember calls out a shadow moving within nearby clouds. Carthis and his crew scramble to the main deck and take positions, waiting to see what appears and whether it threatens the Nimbus.
When the clouds do break, they reveal a crude but well-equipped airship, surrounded by small wyverns. The ship is manned by goblins, who also ride atop many of their dragons. It is moving in the direction of the Nimbus. Rallying cries ring out from its decks and ballistae are aimed over the railing. Their intentions are clear. Captain Carthis confirms this as his crew mans their own weapons and he looks to the party, his expression requesting their aid before announcing with a mighty roar, “Pirates!”
