Enemy ships
Who flies against you, and what they bring as the acts go on.
Sky pirates
A lean raider comes out of the cloudbank with her gunports already open and her boarding nets rigged.
- "Surrender your ship and nobody gets hurt!"
- "Nice cargo. Heavy, is it? We'll lighten you."
- "You're a long way from any lamp, captain."
Excise cutter
A gray cutter flying the Charter pennant closes on your stern and runs up the signal to halt.
- "Halt for inspection by order of the Charter."
- "Your manifest, captain. And your meters."
- "Excise. Stand down your batteries."
Household ship
A gilded yacht crosses your bow close enough to scrape paint, her mage-lord watching from the rail.
- "Clear the lane, freighter. You're blocking the light."
- "How quaint. It flies."
- "A Lowborn ship in our sky? Show us a license or we'll sink you where you float."
Clan warbird
Wings in the sun: a clan warbird drops out of the high air and paces you, close enough to see the painted eyes on her prow.
- "This sky is kin-sky. Why do you fly it?"
- "Show us you have teeth, low-flier."
Clockwork sentry
Something ticks in the fog. A brass sentry turns its lenses toward you, one ring at a time.
- *tick* UNREGISTERED VESSEL. *tick* PRESENT TOLL-TOKEN.
Bounty hunters
A black-hulled hunter hangs just behind you, a harpoon crew already on her bow.
- "We want one of yours. Hand them over and we're gone."
- "There's a warrant with a name on it, captain."
Hollowed ship
A ship with no lights drifts across your path. Her sails are gray. Nobody is at her helm that you can see.
- ...
- Their call is only static, and under it, breathing.
Guild convoy
Three fat Guild haulers under escort lumber past, lanterns burning, holds riding low with crystal.
- "Guild convoy. Keep your distance, friend."
