• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    After meeting with Brisa and catching up a little, Koa spars with her for training and a distraction from the doom and gloom. "C'mon, Koa! Watch yer centre line! Don't take the hit, deflect it! Now, again!" She's excited to talk shop while they spar, and she's impressed with how quickly he's...

    The final poll looks tight. Very tight. The Gazette stresses, of course, that it is only a poll of likely voters, and that in the year 181CE, polling is far from prophetic. Further, that this is the first real, contested election of the Soja' – anything could happen. The polls could...

    After many months of absence, Brisa Escarpa – de facto sheriff of Frontier Town – finally returns home. It takes a few days, but word gets around that the 'half-wild' Luxio is back in town, to the relief of some, and the consternation of others. A small column appears in the Gazette to speculate...

    The expedition into the Rustworks is accompanied by Douglas Dunsmuir of all 'mon. The eccentric old fae-Weezing has the particular ability to purify toxins from the air, which proves greatly useful for navigating some parts of the dungeon. His strength is also considerable – if it wasn't already...

    The mess hall is soon filled with animated debate among those rangers at home base – some are immediately partisan about supporting Greasewood, while others stress the importance of the Union's political neutrality. They'll have to work with whoever gets elected, right? Except that Koa knows...

    Lucien asks Nova to accompany Xoco and Nico to investigate. The team soon discovers a Cipher keycard and a radio comms set, along with other incriminating documents, counterfeit money, and a really tasteless wardrobe. Arpagone is arrested shortly after, and removed from the ballot. His votes...

    Sonora is receptive to this. "Kindof a fun outin', t'be honest. Makes a nice change of pace, an' puts my paws where my mouth is, too." This has been publicly reported, but the mission to Terminal Two was esoteric and complex enough that these details are not widely known in Blaguarro, let...

    Lately, Sneasler SV Arpagone has been touring Frontier Town and its outlying settlements giving a grandiloquent stump speech. "I haven't given up on my dream of becoming your governor. Come, listen to the plans I have made!" After the initial reception to his campaign was tepid among citizens...

    Most of the Escarpa give some answer to the effect of "I have never met any of these 'mon" or "why should I care who they choose as their chieftain?" Some are surprised to learn Lucien isn't running. Fletchinder Sol takes a slight interest, having once lived in a minor trading post as a...

    It's not. "You're... right, of course, Steven. Thank you. I suppose one could hope for less than to be popular as one exits his political office, no? Aha..." Lucien will not be running for mayor. Some of his write-in supporters eventually get the message, and their votes move elsewhere –...

    Betel is fine with Gladion relating that stuff to other people. Sierra relates her take on the crisis, and in some ways is the best 'mon to tell the story, having been one of the pair who dealt with it. On the other paw, she can be laconic, and waves off some of the details. "The same hubris...

    I have given this some consideration, and I believe that unless a world's laws of death and afterlife provided some exception, the dead are not summoned when called across the Astral Plains. Consider that if that were at all probable, that most heroic spirits would be deceased in their home...

    With election day rapidly approaching, and various campaigns in full swing, Lucien has begun to fret about whether he should run after all. As a non-candidate, he's safely out of consideration for actually winning the race. But when those same voters are asked how they'd vote if he was on the...

    Some Wayfarers have chosen to explore Rustwork Refinery, aka 'the Rustworks'. If all goes well, this dungeon in Novelux's industrial district would make for a conveniently positioned anchor for one of Betel's fast-travel waypoints, close to downtown and the wharf. However, it is crawling with...
