At the Command of the (Airship Name) (The Waswood)
| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
Description summary:
The description depends on your 
Stalking the Skies of the Waswood quality.
| Stalking | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Roof is quiet. No sound but the drumbeat of your own heart; the clank and hiss of the engines, the whirr of the propellers. There are candles lit in some of the pale citadels, but the Starved remain out of sight. For now. |
| 5 | Candles gutter in the citadels. The Starved can see well enough in the dark. The silence is broken by the slice of serrated wings; the skittering of elongated limbs crawling down stone; the shriek as they prepare to leap – and rend. |
| 6-15 | N/A |
| Stalking | Second Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 1 | London is close below. There are few citadels here; the stalactites are calm. Pale pillars hang like needles from the rock, waiting to fall. |
| 5 | The False-Stars move above, so close you could reach out and touch them... |
| 6-7 | A vast carapace lies dormant ahead. Its flesh is the blue of midnight, its million eyes pale and curdled as milk. Once a Moon-Mother, now it is merely this. |
| 8-9 | The citadels of the Starved are near. There is movement behind the yawning openings in their pallid facades. Within one, you see a great vat, ochre and boiling. |
| 10 | Starved Men hang pinioned to slender stalactites. A hunting ground? An experiment, failed – or ongoing? A long limb twitches as you pass below, beseeching, or grasping... |
| 12 | Tunnels above, [...] Fat and amber clots these openings, though you fancy you can see movement within. The Starved do not share a singular purpose – who knows what this might be? |
| 15 | A vast citadel ahead, formed of flesh and bone as much as of stone. Its facade resembles a skull, but not that of any human. [...] The mouth [...] is composed of five rows of [...] teeth. |
| Stalking | Fourth Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your airship is in fine fettle. |
| 5 | The craft has taken fire, but no more than a glancing blow. You remain fighting fit! |
| 6-9 | There are holes in the deck and one engine billows with black smoke. Yet you persevere. |
| 10-15 | The craft is almost lost. Only the sound of cannon through the smoke lets you know that your gunners fight on. |
| Stalking | Fifth Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 1, 5 | You have sufficient fuel. |
| 6-9 | Your boilers are at half capacity. |
| 10-15 | Your fuel stores are running dangerously low. |
