"Gah!"

Blink repeatedly, trying to get over blindness. If successful, throw un-enchanted sand at demons. If unsuccessful, continue and consider a more heroic way to have been blinded.

Ice isn't air. It's visible. Even if not, bones are still visible.

As an aeriel hunter, it's probable that we have much, much better vision than ground creatures. We can probably simply be far enough away that the blue/white tones of ice and bone blend in with the blue sky.
Plus, it's a zeppelin. There's a massive balloon above the passenger compartment. Big blind spot.

Replace "blue/white," "ice and bones," and "blue sky" with "gray," "fog," and "gray clouds," and both of those apply just as well for becoming a cloud.

They can't hurt us.

We don't know that. We don't yet know what sort of world we're in. For example, it's possible that hundreds or thousands of years of technological growth may have happened since we were entombed. That might be a steampunk airship with cannons.

Which is why we shouldn't show them something like a dragon, which would be worth shooting at first and asking questions never. Weird cloud? Not much point shooting at, if it's worth worrying about at all.

Angel thinks for a moment, then conjures up a signed paper saying such. "Now what?"

"Yeah, but...I want..."

There is (currently) only one wizard, yet they're there...

Why don't we just go straight up to them? They can't hurt us. If they fire on us we could just leave, or destroy them and warn the town nearby that their airship was taken over by pirates and we avenged them, sadly having to destroy the ship as collateral damage. If they want compensation, we have gold. (Just don't tell them where from)

I'd like to get an idea of what they are and why they might be here before attacking them.

Well, Kj could easily knock Xantalos over (in theory)...
