Some Are Silver, The Others Gold
Nice Entangle there. It does the job.

You all board the Airship with the Princess. Theodore, no, what you need is not a d20 roll. Or a freshly baked roll. What you need are
the keys. And maybe a couple hundred hours of in-air flight experience.
You guys fumble around for a few rounds. Alonso watches with some concern as you try to hotwire the Airship. He still offers Nestea to any takers.
The control panels, by the way, aren't that complicated- it's sort of like a couple X-box controllers. You do manage to find the radio. You turn it on. Apparently there's a Depeche Mode mixtape in the tape player. But you don't have a ton of time before the Chums show back up.
...
"Hey there guys." The Chums bring dead Dan on board, and help the armless Nameless Warrior get on the ship. He looks pretty bad. He's got an old t-shirt tied around each shoulder stump. In fact, given his wardrobe, he looks a lot like this:
...
Rick kicks you off the controls. "Eh, what you doin', man. Take a seat guys, and don't forget to buckle up!" Rick launches the Airship into the clouds. It's a bumpy takeoff, but kinda crazy, and you all look out the portholes and watch the land shrink away. Hey, there's mini-Gorgos! And Mammon's Point!
The ride smooths out after 20-30 minutes, and the Fasten Seatbelts sign clicks off. Jim and Tom are hanging out with Nameless, giving him some booze for the pain. Jim yells: "Hey Ambassador! Mission Accomplished! Come on down and let's knock back a couple!"
From the First-Class Seating upstairs, comes a familiar face... Ambassador Bekkers! He pauses for a brief moment when he sees the lot of you, but he plays it cool. "Well this is an unexpected... surprise." Hmm. He regards Nameless. "Oh dear me, the poor fellow. Is the Princess alright?" He goes over to where she's sleeping and checks her pulse. "Mm. Good. Very good, well done my friends." He claps Tom and Jim on the shoulders, and smiles at Rick when Rick comes out of the cockpit.
Hmm.
