Success

Around! Around!!

A palpable hit. A quick-thinking gunner takes out a Starved in flight [...] Meanwhile, the navigator executes a daring turn in mid-air [...] A tossed mass of rock and wet amber [...] but your quick work with one of the cannons breaks it up [...] The Starved retreat [...]

Failure

Into silence

In the air, a moment is as dense as an hour on the ground. [...] A moment [...] as the Starved come shrieking forth. One leaps and perforates a wing on a stalactite. A moment later, that would have been a gunner. [...] The Starved are ready for you.
