Oh well, you know what they say, no plan survives contact with the enemy.
[X] Plan Witch
-[] Step 1: Call down the high-altitude air to shroud the airship in mist and fog
-[] Step 2: Strafe the parasite fighter as it is attached to the airship
-[] Step 3: Strafe the front of the airship to unbalance its lift. The nose will drop, and to avoid crashing into the mountains, the Goths will need to send crew aft to rebalance the weight
-[] Step 4: Board the airship and hold the captain hostage until he relinquishes the cargo. The bridge should be relatively unguarded, as the crew will be aft.
-[] Step 5: Skedaddle with the cargo. Destroy the airship with flares if any Goths are less than cooperative.
Even this high above the earth, mountains still surrounded your squadron at all angles, limiting visibility farther than ten kilometers in any direction. A mountain was directly in your way, and unfortunately, you and your circus hadn't really decided as to who was the leader, so you and Riya went right around it, while Edgar and Tomas went left. By the time you realized it was just you and her, the other two were black dots almost directly behind you, circling the jutting cliffs in the opposite direction.
Of course, that was the mountain the convoy was behind. The balloon looked old. it was ragged, covered in patches, and dirty white with a giant red stripe and sharp Gotha spade emblazoned down the middle. Planes circled the airship like a swarm of stinging insects, doing jerky, rapid maneuvers like they were participating in an airshow. The display was hypnotizing, for a moment, with the usual terror of finding the enemy, though this was the first time you hadn't been shot at before you were made aware of them. A booming, gruff voice was heard from the airship, though the words were unintelligible. Six flares shot from the top of the airship, three red, one blue, and two yellow, and immediately the chaos of the Goth airshow turned to surprising coordination as they swiveled around, towards YOU AND RIYA. At least you hadn't been caught off guard this time. The only issue was that Edgar and Tomas were still kilometers away, most likely circling the mountain. You'd need to handle this until they get here.

Being spread out means you're not gonna be able to call on anyone else for advantage or provide overwatch on anyone else until I decide it's narratively appropriate to be able to. Essentially, Edgar and Tomas are on the way, Riya is gonna have shit to deal with, and so will you.
A couple of options:
[ ]
Stay On Target towards the airship to cast your spell (Roll +Calm [+1]) and take a hit, but if you roll well you lessen the consequences.
[ ]
Dogfight! an incoming plane and just start fighting (Say what you're doing, which will determine the stat used)
[ ]
Cast A Spell different from the fog spell, or the same! Just say what.
[ ]
Write In cause ya'll often come up with ideas I never even see coming.
