Success

On target!

Cannons roar; your gunners shout instructions, imprecations, invectives. [...] It takes your crew some moments to zero in – but one lucky shot strikes home [...]

One of the Starved boarders [...] rips one of the cannons free [...] and hurls it through the deck. [...]

•  Hope? But only the hope of a moment. (Lowers The Eye Opens by 6)
•  No cannon could bring this creation down. (Resets Firing Solution to 0)
•  Damage to your Airship is increasing… (+5-7? CP)

Failure

Almost—

Cannons roar. Decking moans. Cables creak. Your gunners launch a salvo [...] Most shells fall short; one strikes the rock above the opening. Before the gunner responsible can zero in further, one of the boarders yanks her clear of her position.

•  The vast, pendulous eye turns its gaze towards London. (Increases The Eye Opens by 5)
•  No cannon could bring this creation down. (Resets Firing Solution to 0)
•  Damage to your Airship is increasing… (+8 CP)
