OOC: For the pilot and crew, what skills are used? What do the others do? Fire weapons and such?

•   Details on flying the airship
  The strike ship initially travels at a speed of 10 squares. When brought under control (after complete success in the skill challenge), it travels at a speed of 12 squares. The admiral's flagship has a speed of 8 squares, but it has a significant head start. Because of the turbulence created by the astral gate, neither craft can make a double move in this encounter.
  
  The lift granted by the astral gate means that it takes only three PCs to control the strike ship—one pilot and two crew. (A ship of this size normally requires a crew of three or more.) For each missing crew member, the ship’s speed is reduced by 2 squares.
  
  The PC who pilots the strike ship must do so with a standard action and a move action each round. The PCs crewing ship must use a standard action each round to do so. Because those three PCs are actively working the strike ship’s controls, they can make primary skill checks in the skill challenge as minor actions. All other characters make primary skill checks in the challenge as standard actions.
  
  I, the DM, will keep track of the distance between the two ships from round to round, and of the change in speed of either craft as it takes damage. For every 50 damage either astral craft takes, its speed is reduced by 2 squares. At fly speed 0, a ship floats out of control toward the astral gate. Each warship is equipped with grappling lines that can be fired by the pilot.

•   Run out the guns
  Spell turrets: A character in a spell turret can use the turret to direct any nonweapon ranged or area arcane or divine attack power. A character directing a power through a spell turret uses his or her own attack modifier and deals damage as normal. However, a power directed through a spell turret cannot be used with an implement.
  
  The magic of a spell turret doubles the range of arcane and divine powers, and allows powers to target inanimate objects even if they normally cannot do so. Characters attacking airborne creatures through a spell turret can make use of any of a power’s effects. Powers that create effects in addition to hit point damage can be used against a ship, but the ship ignores such effects (including ongoing damage).
  
  Attacks that deal damage throughout an area (typically attacks that target all creatures in a burst) strike more than 1 square when used against a ship, dealing additional damage as follows: burst 1 or 2, 2 damage; burst 3 or 4, 3 damage; burst 5 or larger, 5 damage. Attacks that can target multiple characters function only as a single attack when directed through a spell turret
  
  Force ballistas: +15 vs. AC; ranged 40; 3d10 force damage. Each force ballista has 10 bolts and is operated by a single character. Firing is a standard action. Activating the magical bolt loader is a minor action.

  The strike ship initially travels at a speed of 10 squares. When brought under control (after complete success in the skill challenge), it travels at a speed of 12 squares. The admiral's flagship has a speed of 8 squares, but it has a significant head start. Because of the turbulence created by the astral gate, neither craft can make a double move in this encounter.
  
  The lift granted by the astral gate means that it takes only three PCs to control the strike ship—one pilot and two crew. (A ship of this size normally requires a crew of three or more.) For each missing crew member, the ship’s speed is reduced by 2 squares.
  
  The PC who pilots the strike ship must do so with a standard action and a move action each round. The PCs crewing ship must use a standard action each round to do so. Because those three PCs are actively working the strike ship’s controls, they can make primary skill checks in the skill challenge as minor actions. All other characters make primary skill checks in the challenge as standard actions.
  
  I, the DM, will keep track of the distance between the two ships from round to round, and of the change in speed of either craft as it takes damage. For every 50 damage either astral craft takes, its speed is reduced by 2 squares. At fly speed 0, a ship floats out of control toward the astral gate. Each warship is equipped with grappling lines that can be fired by the pilot.

  Spell turrets: A character in a spell turret can use the turret to direct any nonweapon ranged or area arcane or divine attack power. A character directing a power through a spell turret uses his or her own attack modifier and deals damage as normal. However, a power directed through a spell turret cannot be used with an implement.
  
  The magic of a spell turret doubles the range of arcane and divine powers, and allows powers to target inanimate objects even if they normally cannot do so. Characters attacking airborne creatures through a spell turret can make use of any of a power’s effects. Powers that create effects in addition to hit point damage can be used against a ship, but the ship ignores such effects (including ongoing damage).
  
  Attacks that deal damage throughout an area (typically attacks that target all creatures in a burst) strike more than 1 square when used against a ship, dealing additional damage as follows: burst 1 or 2, 2 damage; burst 3 or 4, 3 damage; burst 5 or larger, 5 damage. Attacks that can target multiple characters function only as a single attack when directed through a spell turret
  
  Force ballistas: +15 vs. AC; ranged 40; 3d10 force damage. Each force ballista has 10 bolts and is operated by a single character. Firing is a standard action. Activating the magical bolt loader is a minor action.
  
  Attacks made with the spell turrets and force ballistas of either ship target only the other craft or creatures in the air. These attacks cannot target a character on a ship.
