The magical steering wheel installed on Lyrandar airships allows anyone with the mark of storm to do this automatically, those without the mark have to find some other way of convincing the elemental to do what they want (e.g. in 3.5 there was the dominate monster spell). Didn't the goblins just hire said airship? (including marked pilot)
