Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20160616025326

You and your crew were boarding an airship called the Shadow Gate. The fortified town of Ercan had recently sent the ship on a scouting mission as there had been recent tremors with a bizarre pattern and they wanted it to find out what the cause was.

Captain Alben takes his position at the bridge and you, the ship's engineer, go down to the engine room to make sure that the engines are in working order. As soon as you give the okay, the Shadow Gate takes off in the direction of the cause of the tremors.

Nearly thirty minutes have passed and you're hard at work inspecting the engines, checking out the two escape gliders that can hold ten people each (there are twenty crew members on board the Shadow Gate including you and Captain Alben), and whack the occasional slacker to make sure that he or she is working.

Later, you get a call to the bridge from Orgik, the navigator of Shadow Gate, saying, "Uhhh... (your name), you should come take a look at this."

You make your way to the bridge and Orgik hands you the telescope. When you peer through it the sight before you just leaves you breathless.

There are four Ushi-Oni, but that's not what's leaving the crew in awe. These four are colossal and have some type of armor on their backs. You see what appears to be a pair of siege cannons attached to the back of each one that appear to be manned by muscular mamono. There are three smaller cannons on each side of their backs that are manned by either Large Mice or Dwarves. On their backs are also a large glowing red circle and each one is surrounded by fighter type mamono as well as Black Harpies, Thunderbirds, Jabberwocks, and Wyverns.

You notice that the colossal Ushi-Oni nearest you catches sight of you and points in your direction, causing many of the air mamono on her back to fly toward you. You also see four Jinkos, two Minotaurs, and two Kunoichis step onto the circle and dematerialize. Seconds later, an alarm blares, and one of the crew members shouts, "Captain, we have boarders!"

Someone else shouts, "They're firing their cannons at us!"

You look down and see through the heart-shaped iron sight of the cannon aimed at you by a mischievous Large Mouse as she starts firing what you recognize as shells made of mamono silver at you. The other two at the Ushi-Oni's broadside closest to you soon join in the volley.

"Everyone get to your stations!" shouts Captain Alben.

What would you do?
