Nirzeg just watches for a few moments, rubbing his chin and weighing the options at hand. If they did not act decisively and soon, the giants would be act the docks, liking smashing the board walk and boats there apart perhaps to limit the residents ability to escape by sea. Then with a start, the Githyanki is suddenly trying to empty out much of the contents of his back almost in his haste to get at some glass flask. "Lydia! Here! Grab some of these!" He holds out a small bandolier of oil flasks.
"When I give the signal, chuck those as hard as you can onto to the deck of that ship. And you three! You bastards don't busy, so get over here and grab a few as well. We're gonna do a pass over head and let it rain oil and alchemist fires. Let's see how those ****s enjoy swimming, eh?" A grin just about teases the corner of his lips before he's soon turning to Cpt. Delsephine or whichever 2nd in command had the reigns of the ship. "With your permission and assistance of course. Suffice it to say, those giants there is bad for operations. And what's bad for operations is bad for your lord, no?" He adds, and hopefully with the added support, they'd been in and out following the bombing run. Nirzeg himself takes one of the three alchemist fires on his person personally and tries to angle the drop for somewhere likely hard to reach, but plenty flammable.
-----> In total, Nirzeg has 19 Oil Flasks and 3 Alchemist Fire to potentially have dropped and shatter across the deck to quicken the spread of fire.
Whisper sees the commotion in the skies as Halcyon returns to his white-furred arm.
With a screech, Halcyon confirms that giants are indeed coming, and Whisper is in the wrong place at the wrong time again, so it would seem. To the nine hells with it, time to see if the rumors were true about the Tabaxi and their fantastic luck. Whisper runs to the center of town and finds the church bell, Without going into the church, he scales the walls to get to the bell as fast as he can, and draws out his sword, and bangs the handle against the metal to alert the town.
"Giants!" Whisper yells to the crowd below. "Giants are coming. Prepare for Battle! Giants!" In between each word or phrase, Whisper bangs the bell three times. The ringing in his ears is bearable, but it makes him flinch none the less.
The airship crew members look highly dubious about doing any sort of combat, but Delsephine orders them towards the greatship down below. "It'll be our hides if Klauth sees we didn't assist them," she bellows over the rising wind.
The crew airship directs the airship to intercept with the gigantic wooden vessel on the water below. Your paths converge as the ship comes speeding out of the fog, to hear a temple bell ringing on the shore a half mile away.
The frost giants have noticed the flying enemies above them, even focused as they are on the cliffside town and the stone docks ahead. A couple of them point, and yell things that you can't hear over the wind.
Whisper is able to find a bell in the Triumverate hall, which incorporates a generic temple and a town hall. The stone hall is squat and long, and the bell is well secured to stone pillars close to the entrance.
The town is covered in squat stone dwellings, most of which are larger underground than they are above ground.
At the top of the ridge, north of the village, lies Dasharra's griffon aviary.
The greatship is half a mile from the town, and closing quickly.

Tomac pulls out his greataxe shouts commands to Gruff "Ok friend, let's do this" and with that the large bird dives at the giant's ship. Just as Gruff swoops past a giant, Tomac takes a swing with his axe.

Valenar pulls out 8 holly berries and recites a small prayer. As he throws it all in the air, 8 fey spirits rush out from out of nowhere and grab a holly berry. He then brings out his wooden quarterstaff, mistletoe, and a shamrock leaf, and the latter, gets absorbed by the quarterstaff, and the quarterstaff glows a light green.

Valenar:
Six little fairies appear, three materializing with tiny bows in hand, and three others popping into existence in a puff of glittering dust. The former trio look at the latter trio with no small amount of disdain, but all six wait expectantly for your order.
A dog-like creature blinks into exitence and gazes up intelligently at you. Another slightly smaller creature climbs out of what seems like a hole in the air, and plops down next to you in a puddle of viscous black goo. This small, dark creature is very smelly and quite ugly, with a ridiculously oversized head. Its bulging, yellow eyes are focused on you.
The giant ship draws ever closer to the docks, moving at an impressive speed & unhindered by the loose ice floes in the seawater. Meanwhile, the eight frost giants on the greatship’s deck laugh at the sight of the flying ship and the griffon. As Tomac flys by and swings his great axe at one of the giants, the unsuspecting blue brute takes the strike to the shoulder and grunts in surprise! Then laughs in derision, and says in jotun, <Target practice, boys!>
The two frost giants that spotted you just moments ago lift some bits of scrap from the ship and lob them with deadly speed, one at Tomac and one at the airship above.
Attacking Tomac with a large barrel: 28 Damage: 19 bludgeoning
Attacking the airship with driftwood (AC 13): 11 Damage: 20 bludgeoning
Whisper climbs down from the tower and pulls out a dart with his left hand and a rapier with his right. He runs towards the docks towards the creatures that have appeared. Whisper prepares for the next fight. His heart beats at a softened and practiced pace as he readies his resolve and his steel for the flesh and blood of his attackers.

"Oh my Stars and Garters! The one time ****s decide to actually look to the sky!" Nirzeg exclaimed, still clutching whatever he can for dare life. "Plan A is already a smashing success it ******* seems. But Aight, cap'n! Just get us ahead of them from overhead if you can, and we'll jump off from there. Then get your asses out of dodge." He shouts back as he messes around with the oil flasks until the bandolier of sorts they were attached to got outfitted with some small device.
Without further preamble, he chucks it over board and watches it fall a few feet, before it suddenly accelerates via the strange propulsion device. While it seemed to be on a crash coarse with the giant attacking the air ship, whether it hits or miss, or the giant would be covered in at least 10 flasks worth of oil from them slamming into it. Destructively, so. After which, besides the few oil flasks and alchemist fire flasks left to standby crew, Nirzeg took to balancing on the rail while holding onto some nearby rope, waiting for the moment to jump onto the giant ship despite every though screaming at him for the stupidity of the next plan; especially considering they barely handled 3 Frost Giants last time!
Action: Cast (3rd level)Propolsor on bandolier of Oil Flasks(10). Giant attacking ship needs to make Dex Save(DC 14) or take 25 bludgeoning damage and be covered in oil. (if a miss, Giant Ship takes the damage and is covered in oil instead.)
(So, up to DM if its possible, as ship positioning is a little iffy in my mind atm. But, if he can free action drop ALchemist fire on the ship, then he'd do so after the spell.)

As two of the 3 Pixies circle around the Blink Dog and the Boggle, both start to fly. Vall rides on his broom and flies towards the ship as fast as he and the feys can.
Assuming the Giants are out of reach, Tomac will board the ship at the front and letting Gruff get out of danger. Gruff takes off and circles waiting to swoop in if need be. In the mean time Tomac will advance on the nearest giant bearing his teeth and roaring as he enters a Rage.

Flying next to the airship, Tomac pulls out his greataxe and readies his large green body for a charge at the ship.
He yells to the airship "I wait for your signal!"
When they ignite the ship, Tomac will swoop in to attack.

The giant looks up a split second before the flasks of oil all smash into his face, coating him completely in the slick substance.
