[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

The 75'-80' airship has a large balloon floating well above the main deck that's chained to the hull of the ship but otherwise it looks like a typical sailing vessel.  The captain explains, "The master didn't want any large propellers or fancy new engines because they could attract enemies with their noise or pirates looking for their technology.  So what the airship lacked in bells and whistles, it makes up for in inconspicuousness and toughness.  This old girl won't go down without a fight."

Once released from the spire, the airship groans as it slowly turns away to set a course away from the city.  You spot a train giving a hoot of warning before slowing to a stop in a large area of colored lights.  You marvel at the enormous wheel that was slowly spinning in place that seemed to carry passengers along it's edge.  Faint excited screams are heard from the area.  

"It's the carnival," the captain yells to all of you.  "One of the few times of year that hearing screams coming from the city is not a bad thing."  

When the ship's coordinates have been set and double checked, the captain gives you all a quick tour of the ship.  He gives you the room on the second level at the bow (front) of the ship.  There are 4 hammocks alone the far wall as well as a large 5x5 table in the center.  More sleeping bags or cots will be brought in as needed.
