I would have loaned Foxy Cassie Yeager, she can snipe like a Fareye, but her Vierling could decimate the ship

Semd an orange furred "unarmed" flying messenger to handle "negotiations" of grey matter (and other body parts/fluids) exiting slaver heads. forcing the slavers to turn around leaving themselves open to ranged attacks

flash freeze the whole ship. thaw and heal the slaves. chill and gogo would be handy, but spar and star could probably handle it. need more healers on site though. yes, ice crystals, but otoh magic.

Hmmm ... I see they still didn't realize she's the main target. If they kill her, the effectiveness of hostages will go way down.

You need sight to sight clear line of sight.

@mike. Point 2 point transport was on my mind when I scripted this strip but Ironkeel P2P works very different than Star Trek transporters. No one becomes immaterial. The beam is a tractor beam stasis field hybrid. The subject is frozen by stasis so as not to be smashed when the tractor beam brings them up or sets them down. The cutter on which Silver Strip is being held is a maze of sails and rigging. It is not a practical solution in this case. It is why Robert and Boo used a shuttle to get to the goblin generation ship rather than use P2P.

Or they could use a starship's P2P instant transport system to extract all the prisoners on deck, and then ensure that they don't bring others from below.

As for where they are going, my guess is that the "angels" want them, for what I don't know, but they have facilities designed for fliers, it would be inefficient to have to carry their workforce around...

Correction, a job for a sniper, a team of rogues teleportation insertion and something that would equate to a flashbang..or seeing how all the prisoners are on the deck, and the fliers are all seemingly bat types, sink the ship, blind the crew and let them fly off, to execute that properly they need a telepath capable of selective broadcasting... the only one I can think of is a death avatar as of late. Or they can communicate beyond the standard range of hearing, of course there's always the one thing that the hostage strategy doesn't count on, "shoot first, ask questions later"

this looks like a job for a sniper.
