"You two can do this without me, we can't let them have free reign over the ship!" Karst breaks away from the gun and charges the construct not engaged with Tanakir. As he runs he calls on the vows he has made to grant him faster reactions and strength in his arms. Driving two powerful slashes with his axe at the construct Karst forces it to engage him.

Tanakir soon finds himself hard pressed against the construct in battle, stopping his club short in order to brace against the incoming impact, taking 9 and 13 bludgeoning damage as two large fists slam into his torso. Karst fares much better, chasing down the running construct before it can reach the helm, tearing chunks of stone out of his construct with two heavy slashes of his axe, then leaping backward to avoid a fist that slams through the deck of the airship. The wood buckles and catches the construct's arm, which it struggles to free. Wes throws a fire bolt wide, even as Petunia continues to flap about the wounded construct's head. Aradurk loads a javelin into the ballista, drawing his shield up in time to block an incoming laser. Hopping madly to avoid two more lasers, Rycider cranks the mechanism to aim another shot.

One construct is engaged in melee combat with Karst, wounded but slowly recovering, 15 feet away from the rest of the party. Aradurk and Rycider are manning one ballista, which is loaded and aimed, and ready to be fired. Karst has bardic inspiration for 9 minutes and 42 seconds. Tanakir's club is magical for 48 seconds. Tanakir, Aradurk, and Karst are blessed for 48 seconds.
Tanakir grunts at the heavy punches as white light shines from his injuries, mending them (healing light for 10). Then he goes to headbutt the construct, casting inflict wounds at 2nd level.

(going on vacation through Wednesday. It’s okay to auto my attacks. Basically focusing on constructs one at a time with fire bolt. Will use bigger spells when there are lower numbers)

Karst smiles grimly as the wounds start to heal on his adversary, it would be a great struggle to down one of these constructs and there were four more waiting after this one, the odds were not looking good. Trusting that he could end at least this one the paladin channels even more power to charge his attacks with more power.
He the swings again twice more at the lumbering foe.

Tanakir slams his head forward, meeting the fist of the construct. Reeling from the blow, he takes 10 bludgeoning damage, but sends necrotic energy flowing into the constructs massive hand. As small bits of itself crumble and begin to repair, its other hand meets the genasi's side, dealing 14 bludgeoning damage.
Karst, intensely focused on the construct in front of him,blocks a fist with his shield, hacks into its arm, moves his shield left to block a second punch, and smashes his axe into the construct's face. The axe tears through the stone and sends the creature staggering, radiant light still glowing at the wound.
In the air, the wounded construct is struck again by Wes. It takes an annoyed swipe at Petunia, dealing 13 bludgeoning damage to the owl. With an explosion of feathers, the familiar disappears from the Material Plane.
A laser burns into Aradurk's arm, dealing 5 radiant damage, while he rolls away from another.

Tanakir allows the impact of a stone fist, taking 9 bludgeoning damage, but quickly ignores the pain as healing magic rushes into him.
From Wes's spell, thunder erupts from behind the other construct on deck, sending it forward into Karst's well-crafted battleaxe. Tearing upward through its arm, and again into its side, the punishing blows are too much for the construct to hold together any longer, and it falls into pieces.
Tiring of the ballista, Aradurk picks up its ammo and heaves it manually at the flying constructs, who spin to avoid it.
Meanwhile, Rycider's shout causes udders to shockingly sprout from one of the construct's stomach, and in seconds it becomes an unenthused, emotionless cow falling quickly to the ground.
The remaining airborne constructs fly toward the ship, landing on opposite sides of the ballista. Aradurk meets a fist with his shield, but nearly crumples from the impact of its second fist into his side, taking 18 bludgeoning damage. Rycider takes 7 and 14 bludgeoning damage as she backpedals, quickly being worn down.

As she scrambles she will take in everything she can about the nearest Construct. Does it have seams? What propulsion are they using? Is there any openings or signs of panels? Is it all stone or are there different materials?
“Shit shit shit. You know you’re going to end up dead doing this. I’ll meet you soon Petunia”. Wes says to himself.
Wes rushes forward, climbing up the back of Karst to the point he is practically sitting on his shoulders. Karst heats a “thop”. Before the small hands squeeze his mouth open. Wes shouts “Drink this!” As he feeds Karst a potion of speed. Before he ducks down again, trying to hide by hopping down and running away or staying on Karst’s shoulders if he has to.

Karst feels another source of power enter his body fighting with the other magical effects causing him to shudder briefly.
