Yeah.... we're building a village not trying to become bandits. If we start raiding people then we're toast. If we can build it then so can cities and they can make more of them faster. As a cargo ship it's good. As a weapon it becomes a giant bullseye on our backs.

Well i was thinking of doing the raid to fund the airship - slipping in and out in secret (or as close as possible when blowing up jewelers). After all, at present we're still moving and should have a fairly safe distance between us and them by the time we settle.

Zita knows enchanting...
Also, Vulpa too knows enchanting.
So they do.

It doesn't need to be grounded. Bolt hits balloon. Balloon gets hole. Airship greets ground at extremely high speed.
What part of "you need gravity-magic and wind-magic gemstones, but nothing to make a baloon from" made you think it was any kind of blimp/zeppelin?

We mean an airship as in a literal flying ship.
Maybe call it a cloudship, to reduce confusion?

Indeed.
And if we make some before anyone else thinks to, we've got an advantage. Make a few, plus a cloudport, and we could make our little town the future hub of trade worldwide as long as we kept our secrets.

You... You mean a trade port in the sky?

We could call it the cloud district.

ALL THE YESES.

(Also Kyle, assuming that is the reference I believe it to be, have an extra yes.)

Probably, although the only definites are that it would dock cloudships and not be confused with an airport.

We're going to get attacked regularly by Gnolls who have mages and summoners and scouts who know the ground better then we do.

We have no hope of hiding something as big as an airship in construction from them, let alone concealing that enormous build up of mana. Word will get out long before we're ready we don't have the power to conceal something that large.

Can I make a suggestion? Prospecting. We're on the edge of nowhere. Beyond us is land that hasn't been exploited or prospected we can probably find the stuff we need out there if we look and we can make basic golems to do the mining.


Can I ask something. How are you going to get a port into the sky? The amount of mana alone is insane.

Why is everyone assuming we make the ship. We could just break onto one with the necessary gems and fly away :P

Yeah and when rumors get out that we suddenly have an airship and didn't build it? Hello war.

Or you know, just make peace with them.

It most likely is.

It's assumed we ask nicely to live on their land with them.

If they attack us it's self defense. If we raid them it's unprovoked attack.

Theres a difference.


And they are not going to willingly let us live here. They have no reason to do it we have nothing to offer them and pose a constant threat.

Who said we have nothing to offer them? Our skills, trade, etc....

We could attempt to integrate into gnoll society, even.
