Ireniana will find a good spot and fire a couple of arrows into the distance to distract Zalto. She's not looking for a specific target, she's just hoping to get his attention away from the others.
Umbriel and Baeshra's words must be getting to the Duke, as he pauses his dash and shakes his head, thinking for a moment. Then he orders his men forward.
With people shoveling dead weight off the ship it begins to rise a little faster! The ship is now 80 feet off the ground. With Zalto at 180 feet away, and his fire giants ranging from 150 to 200 feet away, they won't be able to reach the ship in time!
Deselphine looks at the party "Other than anywhere but here, you got a destination in mind?"
Nyx, are you hiding or still roaming around looking for the way out?
Lyngheid is securely hidden, we'll see if she stays that way as the ship flies off.
Umbriel stares down at the Duke, a cold shadowy fury building within him. "We need to set down somewhere nearby for repairs, and we need to go back for Lyngheid, Nyx, and the rest of the prisoners... and to end this Duke and the threat he poses. I need four hours to be at full strength, but I can get creative with just an hour."He turns, hands clenched into fists. It's clear the rapid escape leaving allies behind is bothering him.
Deselphine orders the crew to send another ballista shot at the Duke

And the ship continues to fly up and away, out over the valley, and then onward for about two hours before setting down.
"Alright, we're going to go inspect the ship and see how much damage she took. I'll leave Rendale on watch in the crows nest to look for attackers."
Those on the ship, what are you going to do? How long do you want to rest for? Droop is at 5 points of exhaustion.
Lyngheid, you watch the fire giants turn and run after the ship, pausing when they get to the cliff edge. Make a perception check.
Nyx, you finally recognize a tunnel and Mks it to the bottom of the spiral staircase. You can tell there have been hints who recently sent this way, and lots of dwarves and other humanoids.
Baeshra looks around, "Maybe most rest for as long as needed to repair the ship, but after a night's rest some of us can go and scout to find our allies?"
Umbriel sits and begins to meditate in his trance as soon as he's able. Wisps of shadow curl out from his robe and wrap themselves around him, and his eyes flicker rapidly beneath closed lids.
But you see the Duke gesture back and forth for awhile, and then several fire giants make their way to the stairs and start down the long set of steps to the bottom of the valley.
The duke starts going from hut to hut yelling, this time you can make out Chief Kartha Kai. He seems to belookibg for the yakfolk chief.
Nyx, you can also hear the Duke yelling for the chief. Make a perception check to see if you hear more.
The rest of the party settles down for a rest, let's hold there until we see what happens with Nyx and Lyngheid.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Can Nyx see anyone yet?
Also happy to do my part with Lyngheid in private chat if you don't want them knowing our fate... I mean how we escape and finish the quest while they are resting!

Oh, good idea! Let's do it here though, and put it under spoiler tags.
Spoiler for Nyx:
OK, hold here for a bit, let me see what happened to Lyngheid as that will determine what you see at the top of the stairs.
Spoiler for Lyngheid:
You see the Duke sent several fire giants down the stairs to the valley far below. The Duke is looking through the Yakfolk village for the chief. Are you going to remain hiding?
Lyngheid remains where she is for the moment knowing that she's not the stealthiest when in motion, if there are no giants near her she will begin to slowly move back toward the mine entrance.
You are in area 7, you came out of the stairs in area 10. From hiding in your vantage point, you watch the giants roam through the village for about 30 minutes, shouting for the Yakfolk Chief.
They head back through the double doors to area 9, and you can still hear their deep voices, but can't understand what they are saying. It's been about a minute since they went to that area, and they are still talking.
Spoiler for Nyx:
You pop up at the top of the stairs in area 10, and you can clearly see the backs of several giants in the room in area 9 facing the shaft in the center of the room. Make a Stealth check.

Lyngheid is securely hidden, we'll see if she stays that way as the ship flies off.
Lyngheid continues to have her Rings just buzz annoyingly around the giants heads until the ship is out of range and then drops the spell.
Baeshra looks to Deselphine, "Can you still hit them from here?"
Umbriel stares down at the Duke, a cold shadowy fury building within him. "We need to set down somewhere nearby for repairs, and we need to go back for Lyngheid, Nyx, and the rest of the prisoners... and to end this Duke and the threat he poses.

Nyx will continue trying to find her way out of the complex.
