Copper walks back to the vehicles. "How'd I get stuck with valet duty?" he says gruffly. He'll drag a sled onto the skyraft, then take off with the vehicle, keeping low to hopefully avoid the sight of the ballistae.
"Long story, just involves a lot of mind-reading hunters." Pol saunters off behind Cord.
"Just can't wait for this night to be done," Pol responds gloomily.

Copper walks back to the vehicles. "How'd I get stuck with valet duty?" he says gruffly. He'll drag a sled onto the skyraft, then take off with the vehicle, keeping low to hopefully avoid the sight of the ballistae.
The elven beauty winks and she swings her (briefly, scandalously uncovered) legs into her vehicle. "Patience, sweet. We might get to play heroes yet before the night is done."
Copper gives a sly smile to Kinnik’s alluring form. “Still aint used to you talking like that instead of just spewin out lines of prose.”
The Lady's smile falters for a moment. "I sacrificed a part of myself... part of my future..." she trails off. And then the smile is back (if a little forced, now). "But we can't be innocent forever. I'll relearn some of the bawdier sonnets, if you like."
Cordand Polswing open the door to the small warehouse. Within they see an L-shaped chamber with crates scattered around the room along with a table with some weapons on it. There is a small wooden box on the table which may tantalize your inner thief. Your fingers itch to peek! Aside from the crates and box, they also see three doors. A pair of double doors lay across from them, clearly leading toward the Skycoach dock they witnessed from above earlier. They also have a door to their right and a door to their left leading into the elbow of the room.
Copperand Kinnik have no troubles finding their soarsleds (fits 1 each) and skyraft (fits 2). They know they should be wary of the ballistae attached to the building they hope to infiltrate.
Caphas noticed his allies are moving around and, by DM's grace, will know that the two guards were taken out. It's very likely that Shroud has taken one on as a momentary persona. Cap keeps his eye on the schema, but even though that Cannith noble guy has walked off toward the Skycoach, there are still goons hanging around that table.
Counting the guys Cap can see there are 7 enemies -
Bald Cannith Noble Ballistae A Guy Ballistae A Gal Ballistae B Guy Ballistae B Gal Goon 1 Goon 2 (Map will be in discord cause it's too big to upload....??????)

Cord carefully opens the door, nearly causing the door to creak, but somehow stopping before it actually makes the sound. He tries to peek inside, but can only tell its some sort of tight closet filled with barrels and crates. There doesn't seem to be anything of interest immediately visible to the eye.
Meanwhile outside, a man emerges from inside the Skycoach, which to all of you strikes you as odd unless there is a house Lyrander or Orien member involved too. The man is covered in black smudges but grins despite the dirt. He waves a hand and shouts, "We're ready to go, boss."
"Excellent," the bald man turns to look at the goons by the table with the schema. He signals for them to pick up the schema.
(Putting a break here in case Cap would like to attack the Skycoach to try to burn it down.)

Meanwhile, Cap has been preparing several more arrows, let's say 5. He takes the first one, lights the second with it, nocks it, takes careful aim, and fires at a point which he deems quickly burnable, but also hard to reach to extinguish, and fires.

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Noticing an opened bottle of Stranebrew, a popular beer from Downstairs, Cap aims his flaming arrow toward it. It topples over spilling its alcoholic content onto the still burning arrowhead. The brew quickly catches flame and spreads throughout the spill quickly. It doesn't seem like the airship will explode and it shouldn't be very hard to put out, but it will at least serve as a distraction of some kind!
The man on the ship shouts, "Fire!" as he rushes toward the fiery spill, pulling his coat off to extinguish the flames. The Cannith man looks around nervously for the source of the flame! (Perception: 15 vs Cap's Stealth Roll, plz roll Stealth for Cap!)
Cord witnesses this all go down and sees the goons by the schema are momentarily distracted by the fiery ship. They, however, do not move a muscle and seem to currently just be starring dumbly at the fire.
Let's roll initiative to determine what will happen in this tight sequence of events...

Cap roll stealth, if you crit, then Cannith Guy won't spot you... however, anything but a crit might result in you getting spotted!

The man notices Cap squatting in plain sight on top of the tower, bow and flaming arrow in hand. Slowly, Cap raises his hand, and flips the man off. Then(I assume) all hell breaks lose.
Cord's eyes go wide, and his mouth drops open.
Cord whispers to Pol,
"Your a changeling?"
Cord looks around, making doubly sure, no one else is around,
"Don't worry about it Vasha, you don't want anyone to know, I understand that, your secret is safe with me."
"I would never betray a changeling friend. As far as the other are concerned, you know some good illusion magic, enough said."
Cord nod at the last words, with a sense of finality.
"Right then, Pol, should we be getting back to "our" warehouse?"
Cord winks and starts to head back out towards the warehouse, taking on the character of solder that just got waylaid.
"Dam crazies, how they get up here, in the Skyway, I will never know."
Cord talks to Pol, as they head to the warehouse.
"Hey maybe we don't tell the others we got distracted by some crazy lady, right?"

A leather pouch with 16 gs.

Cord's eyes go wide at the content of the small chest.
Cord turns, to allow Pol to see into the chest, and whispers,
"Vasha, get a look at this?! Quick, lets pocket it, you take half I'll take the other."
Cord quickly pulls out the Dragonshards, handing two to Pol, while hiding the other 3 on his person, then doing the same with the 22gp.
(so thats 2x Khyber Dragonshard's and 11gp for Vasha/Pol; and 3x Khyber Dragonshard's and 11gp for Shroud/Cord)
Cord quietly closes the chest and then moves over to the smaller door to the east and tries to open the door covertly and peak inside.
Stealth check to open the door without being notices: 22
Perception check to see what inside while remaining undetected: 12
