"yes, but before I go, do you know of anyone who can teach me how to Sculpt materials?"
Check Ghost Charm for invisible beings
The man seems confused.
"I'm a hunter; if you want to learn something like that then maybe a mason or smith is more your goal?"
((Most people wouldn't know much about magic. However, for your sculptor, you should know how to do it in character. Basically, you just have to say you want to start a new sculpture, I'll give you a list of materials, and once you get them you get a magic sculpture that gives you a set of words to use))
What kind of metal is the armor made from?
Does the Sallet have a moveable visor?
What kind of bombs are these? Do they have a fuse?
Is there a bag or pouches or something to carry the extra equipment in?
Take everything and move on.
Name: Zavirius En-Drani Haver, Painter
Appearance: A girl of unknown but apparently foreign descent. She claims to be the last surviving member of a long-dead ancient race, kept preserved in some kind of magical stasis, but this is likely untrue. Though her skin is a strange shade not normally seen on the continent, and her hair is bleached white with a slight green reflective tint. She is not very tall but stout like a dwarf and startlingly strong. She's wearing a red gambeson, gray pants, metal bracers, shin guards and a sallet helm.

Yes.
You take everything, leaving your old stuff in the locker, and head to the room indicated. This room appears to be some sort of back exit out of the building, as it opens directly into the street. The mage breaker looks you over and nods.
"Good. Now these Ghouls of yours are low level shape changers. Can mask their true appearance and look mostly human. We also know that the majority of them, least in the gang, are nobles. You've already wiped out a good number of them so we've got men looking into the disappearance of nobles, it will give us a good place to start. Maybe let us round up the associates. As for us personally, I have an idea about how to start but I wonder if you've got any ideas yourself? Part of this job is thinking on the fly; its not all just violence."
"Do you know of that airship? I just avoided it on the way in. I could buff the magebreaker's ship temporarily so it could outpace it too if we're just escaping it again."
Let the magebreaker decide what to do this time, fighting, evading, etcetera. If evading, get in close to the magebreaker's airship and cast a temporary Strengthen Speed spell to take it up to d8 speed, enough to match my mount before fleeing. Only needs to last an hour or so.
"If we're fighting.. well, I've got a different idea."
If we're fighting, I'd want to circle above the enemy airship while it concentrates on the magebreakers, then casting a very temporary (duration of a few minutes) Strengthen Grow Expand spell to make Benedict, and his harness, large enough to grapple the enemy airship and drag it to the ground.
Japanese girl with a long black braid and a white and red fitted robe with long gloves. Clothing is slightly dull in colour and made of metallic thread. Slight sparkle in eyes. Burnt off eyebrows from spell failure. Missing fingernails on right hand.

"That is an Automated warship; a relic of the war. Some have ended up drifting, attacking whatever gets near. We should destroy it before it drifts too low and causes havoc."
You tell her your idea for combat. She nods.
"Possible. Though I should warn you it might have short range arms. Automated boarding parties, spikes, that sort of thing. If you get within a few hundred feet I can strike at it from range. Close or far, I'll follow your lead. We'll get the airship to act as bait."
"Almost thought I was going to die there... And probably would have, had you not been there to cut that thing's legs. Where can I learn to fight like that?"
Talk with the magebreaker while recovering my lost shield and weapon. Also, ask if there's anything I can do help with the sealing.

"The Mage Breakers and years of training." He says with a grunt as you walk over, weapon and shield in hand. "Here," He tosses a sort of dirk to you from his belt, "Go scratch a circle around the other one. I'll get it when I'm done here."

Again the great silvered shadow passes and again one of the wagons is obliterated. You're watching the thing vanish when suddenly your vision is cut off by a stone wall. The cart grinds to a sudden stop in a great pile of boulders and stones, sheltered from almost all sides. The remaining wagons pull up with it and the driver sighs.
"Should be safe here; It can't reach us. We'll wait for a time. Climb up to the top of that stone there and see if there are any survivors still out on the sands."
Is teh Ghost Charm a visual pointer of some kind? Does it not pipe information straight into my brain? If it did, I'd put it in my teeth or something and let it guide me while I swim. Otherwise, let's go a little more systematically. Explore the ceiling under the hole - find the edges of the room - shape and size. Then select one corner and descend to get a sense of the height of the room. Once I've done that, feel up each wall at roughly chest height from the floor to get a sense of any openings (doors, windows) or large furniture items.

The charm itself is basically a clear glass ball with a crystal that points in the direction of a spirit. You have to be able to look at it.

After a systematic meandering through the place, diving and surfacing as needed, you eventually wrap your hands around something special. A metal box, oddly light and very cold, about the size of a shoe box. You swim back out with it and flop into your boat. A check with the charm shows that it is indeed the thing it was sensing.
Ugh. Well, try again I suppose. Tie a rope nearby (drive iron stake into the wall or something if nothing is available to tie to) and to Ecalir so he won't fall down all the way. We still have all this climbing gear, no reason not to use it (do we need to specify using it when climbing? I'd had thought not but the turn results didn't mention using them.)
If it fails again, then instead try the following: eat the 5 thaum in our flammenwerfer, tie a stake or grappling hook or whatever to some rope and use a simple spell to either guide the rope up and have it wrap/attach itself somewhere near the top, or if no anchor point is available, just try to shoot it up so that hopefully it'll embed itself securely (and pray it doesn't make an enormous racket).

The next attempt to scale the passage goes easier with the climbing gear and metal spikes. Hammering them into place does make a good deal of noise but it lets Eclair securely scale the almost sheer walls with greater ease. He manages to make it up to what he thinks is the level that Darwin saw the weird organs on, leaving a trail of rope and spikes behind him. He peaks out and sees no one immediately around him, just a long curved hall.
