He thumbs the weapons release button and sends a volley to the target, dragging the pipper to the rear port emplacement in a strafing motion.

Roll: 5 - successThe PD is already gone, and the rockets just blast a series of holes along the airship's undercarriage and lower half of the wing.
Farther overhead, more than a dozen missiles streak by in unison as Gelorauth fires on the damaged airship. The topside PD guns do what they can, but when combined with the structural damage inflicted by Kobalt, the salvo proves to be the finishing blow. Already weakened by rocket, plasma, and missile strikes, the Grym's left wing is torn from the rest of the airship and plummets into the sea. The rest of the ship follows suit, fire pouring out of the bifurcated engineering section and the half-dozen hull breaches along the top side where the other missiles struck.

one down, only thirteen to go.
: [Enemy airship splashed. Gelorauth moving to assist with the Kyykhynen.]
