[OoC: The last I heard everyone was still interested in playing but there hasn't been any posts. So I'm going to push on and maybe it might encourage a response... ]
While the group begins donning their chutes, the captain pushes the wheel forward and the airship's nose pitches steeply causing everyone to to stumble backward. Desperately grabbing for rails, ropes or whatever else is close at hand to steady yourselves, your vision is suddenly obscured by the thick clouds you were just moments before sailing above.
The captain yells, "Using the cloud for concealment. Hopefully they have a tougher time of it locating us!"
The cloud was blocking most vision. Even those standing beside you were hazy at best. Some minutes later a crackling flash of lightning flashes across the bow. Likely a warning from your pursuers. The captain yells, "Dammit! If we stay in these clouds much longer we're sure to be toast! We'll have to dip out of the cloud bank before we're blasted apart!"
The airship pitches forward once again and seconds later the cloud lifts around you like a great thick curtain, allowing you to see once again. Another flash erupts from the clouds behind you as a jagged stroke of lightning blasts into the back tail of the ship. A wave of heat and splinters of wood washes briefly over everyone but is quickly whisked away by the ship's speed and the altitudes high, chilly, winds. While trailing flames, the ship weaves through the mountain peaks trying to stay out of sight of the pursuing ship which has descended out of the cloud bank, right on your heels.
"Get ready to jump!" The captain yells.
Most of your group had their chutes on except Nacesh, Forge and Kee who were unable to get back on their feet to retrieve their packs. Forge yells at everyone, "Just jump! We will stay with the ship. If we have a chance we'll parachute in and catch up! Don't argue! Just go!!!"
Simon doesn't need to be told twice. He makes his way to the closest side of the ship and peers over the railing. The wind batters his face making it difficult to open his eyes. But through slits he can make out what looks like a mountain peek that appears to have been sheered off, revealing an opening to parachute into. "The strange energy reading are likely coming from that hole," Simon yells over the roaring of the wind. "Aim for the hole and try not to get yourselves killed!!" Simon then throws one leg over the side and prepares to jump.
