Settled neatly atop a sunny foothill just outside of town, is Unknown Slightly Used Airships,an emporium of flying craft, and their accessories. From a distance, all that is visible of the emporium is the large, brightly painted wall which encircles it, three rooftops, and a large mage tower orbited by a neon illusion of the word "Unknown". On closer inspection, the 20 foot walls of the compound are brightly painted with depictions of the current ships for sale, as well as those which have recently sold.
Once you approach the gate, you are greeted by a gigantic goliath barbarian named Granite, who asks that you submit to a credit check before you enter. Players can pass this credit check by ether showing Granite that they have 2000 gp on hand, or showing a letter of good credit from any reputable bank or trades guild.
Once inside the walled complex one is able to see it in its entirety. To the right of the entrance are nine large stone tarmacs, six are occupied with airships ready for sale, two empty ones, and one occupied by an airship fully concealed by canvas and tarps.
On the far side of the tarmacs is a large barn, cleverly converted into an airship hangar and tool storage building.
At the center of the complex is a large stone tower, soaring to 100 feet. This was once an old mages tower, that has since been converted into an airship docking tower.
At the far end of the compound is the manor and staff housing. Surrounded by a short stone wall, it is off limits to visitors.
Lastly to the left of the entrance lies the Visitor Center, a 2 story building with attached stables.
Seeing that you've passed the credit check, a bright-eyed gnome races from the Visitor Center to greet you.
Don't I need a licence or something?
What do you think this is? Thay? No, you do not need a license to fly an airship. But we don't sell a craft unless there is someone to pilot it off the lot, so either you, or one of your associates must be trained in the use of air vehicles, and no, bardic "Jacks of all trade” don’t count.
Do you offer financing?
Adventurers typically have a life expectancy shorter than Izzy's attention span, so we require payment in full before the airship leaves the lot. If you need to finance your airship, you will have to seek a private loan elsewhere.
Do you offer insurance?
Here at Izzy's Slightly Used Airships we offer something better than insurance, we offer assurance. We issure you that our vehicles are in peak condition, and if anything breaks down, it's entirely your fault.
Getting Started
So, you want to build your own airship? Or rather, have us build one for you? The process is pretty simple.
- Initially, you must select your model of choice. Each model has unique propulsion, hull plating, and accessories.
- Next, decide upon the weapon systems. Make sure you have the number of emplacement points required to install them.
- Third, choose any aftermarket modifications, such as an illuminated hull, mithril trims, luxury options, retractable ceilings, etc. Go wild!
- The fourth and final step is the creation of your ships schematics, simplified with the pictures and paper cutouts provided! After payment in full, a ship is constructed at a rate of one day per 250 gp of its final cost.
The Kestrel, The Auroch, The Oroboros, The Vulpes, and The Manticore are all the ship models sold here.
Each ship has unique upgrades available. Here is a list of Universal items that can be installed on most of the ships.
