Well how about that,... air pirates. And they call their ship a derivative of "Cunt" too. I wonder if there's a connection, GM says dryly.
This leg of the game has the players either onboard or somewhere in the vicinity of the 'random' pirate airship that has taken to firing upon Trump Tower, as well as several of the characters. Unfortunately, a spell-caster onboard has placed a spell of Peace on the ship, and now there's a shimmering wall of force surrounding the captain.
Thez is hovering about 45deg from the front, ready to attack. Lenos is preparing for a Meteor Swarm, Infernius is speeding toward the ship, and Torcuil said "Fuck the Bullshit" and just teleported to it.
Trump wants to engage in diplomacy, but he rolled a 1 so he has to wait, and Tracy can't stab at ALL, which is an entirely new sensation for her.

The below-deck is the 'captain's quarters', except converted into a bunk area for several dozen. The below-deck is about 1000sq ft with a loading bay in the front, with a transparent (and removable) membrane keeping wind and elements out of the below-deck. In the middle is the kitchen, which has a small chute connecting the kitchen to the bar area. Also, there's a jaccuzi toward the back.

Its a flying stone. Its a stone that if you're not careful will fly away damaging a number of things along the way. Its not the source of the shield, and its not that the balloon (stone) is indestructable, its been layered over with a variety of protective materials, to prevent it from sustaining damage.

According to the Wiki:
>Each wand has 50 charges when created, and each charge expended allows the user to use the wand’s spell one time. A wand that runs out of charges is just a stick.
Does that entail that it takes 50 days to create a wand, and that it can't be recharged thereafter?

Yes, although she mostly uses it to feed her birds, desu (she washes it, of course), since she doesn't really have anyone to steal from. It did come in handy when feeding Killy, and she stores her chain and any heavier or non-weapon objects in the Bag of Holding.
