Karchev assists Sadie to a sitting position, leaning her against the side of the ship since she looks to have passed out. Turning towards the newly arrived child the Line Walker talks to her in Dragonese. Before the child has a chance to do anything else the Sky Rider jolts with a jarring bump as the Dwarven Pilot attempts to fly and build a translator at the same time (
don't build and drive?). No damage is done to the Sky Rider but all her occupants had that brief moment of oh snap. The unwell Cyber Knight slides from leaning against the ship to tipped over on her side from the turbulence. Maintaining control of the sky ship Hans tosses the line powered translator onto the deck. The Goblin ship veered off and away some from the impact, it also slows rapidly, now behind the Sky Rider. Ember arrives via air mail to the top side of the ship as Iron Tic crashes his way up from below deck. Both lucky to have made it back to the Sky Rider before the Marauder was left behind. Now standing on deck, Thrudh, Alecto, Hans, Gargamel, Tic and Karchev watch as Ember provides the young girl a blanket to cover herself.
The child blinks a few reptilian like blinks as Ember helps her, then she hisses in translated Demongogian to English:
"Where am I absconders? What world is this? Where is ..." pausing in her long line of questions she bares her sharp teeth in the direction of Karchev, who is standing at the front most location of the Sky Rider. The child points towards the Line Walker and when she speaks it becomes evident that she is pointing at something behind the Mage.
"Dis Hunters will flay your soul green goblie if you harm the Dragon Speaker! Nay, I will flay you." With blinding speed the bedraggled looking goblin named Jazz, who just climbed top side from below, is pulled through the air so fast tears smear out his eyes and fly like painful droplets in his wake. Nearly instantly the goblin is held in the grasp of the child's open hand. Briefly, a cracking sound later the goblin drops dead. Looking at Karchev the girl says,
"You are safe Dragon Speaker. I am ƧΛFΛ of Dis and will not allow harm to your kind."
Holding the blanket tighter around herself ƧΛFΛ looks mortally tired, drops to her knees and mutters...

With that she lays down next to the dead goblin and appears to be sleeping.
Jazz, his broken neck and his backpack, lay on the ships deck. Any searching of the now-dead-mage-musician-goblin will net two items of interest. First is a hand drawn map:
Here. Second is a hand written note, in English, which looks like it was written and given to Jazz, it states:
The AGA and Giest Directs your ship and that of Capt. Savage to scout from the Fex Bridge to the Local Ley Line and see where the Legion are. You will follow orders from Karl Volt, a Ex-Legion Juicer if you value your employment with the AGA. Bring Volt and his crew and cargo to Gloom. Other Gloom Riders will also be searching. Photo of Volt.
Volt advised me that he would meet the AGA at the Fex Bridge. You should know where that is Jazz, but just in case, it is here: 34.207097, -94.227591. `
