• 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?

    Brisa turned to Isidora with growing curiosity. "A Ranger, huh?" she asked, as if to herself. "Y'all are workin' with the Union?" Laura nodded. "Lots of us are, at least." She flashed the winged badge from under the folds of her scarf, and indicated Koa and Archie. And Leaf and Jade, as they...

    It appears that Andre and Ridley have exited the dungeon following a period of apparent absense similar to your own. Perhaps they were not permitted to pass? ...Thank you, Koamaru. I like you too. I appreciate your kindness. Brisa frowned, and pawed at her cheek. "I sure didn't call...

    "Nice." Brisa nodded appreciatively and made a low whistle. "Must'a been all kinds a' wild." "Huh?" Brisa looked back over to Koa, momentarily nonplussed, then gave him a friendly smirk. "Ah, not quite. Had my partner by my side fer that one. Though I reckon I'll take him solo some day...

    Brisa snerk'd at Nova's quip. "That drumstick's not for parties, fella. He's fer testin' a warrior's mettle. More fun than any shindig I've ever been to." That tracked. Brisa was a battleheart. Laura concentrated. Maybe now there were a bunch of them down here, Betel could get in touch...

    "Thanks, kid." Brisa nodded as she eagerly took Koa's offered food – yes, Starr was her partner. She demolished the rations in seconds, wiped the back of her paw over her mouth, and went back to talking. "Sure are more'n enough offworlders around since she fell to earth," she muttered, drily...

    Brisa scoffed lightly, but her eyes betrayed a kind of hunger. "I've run the Comb afore now," she said, with a weary grin. "I know its tricks. To tell the truth, I ain't only hidin' out down here – I've been waitin' on the whispers to give me somethin' useful to use 'gainst the lanterns." She...

    With each piece of information – offworlders, Escarpa, Jade – Brisa seemed to ease up, her hackles falling and face relaxing. "Koa," she murmured, almost as if it reminded her of something. She nodded, and said, "th'name's Brisa. I'm of the Escarpa Clan by way of my ma, though I'm sure I sound...

    As Koa and Laura walked forward, more details presented themselves. Fragments of other worlds, buried in the deepest part of Whisperwind Comb, joined seamlessly with generations of Taleska lounghouses and cabins. This place was made of the memories of its collective visitors... Near the far...

    At first, nothing changed. The cave-winds whispered, as they always did— ...rescue... Another light flickered to life at the far end of the 'settlement' cavern. Laura began to hesitantly stalk forwards, eyes dilated, ears alert. No reason to assume anything just yet... "You guys hear...

    Laura marched on with Isidora, orb-light revealing the way ahead. The tunnel from their reunion cave led to deeper floors, ones with more to their composition than natural rock, wind, and water. Wooden structures... ...and missing friends. "Koa!" she called. "H-hey!" Her face lit up in a...

    Deep in Whisperwind Comb, past the liminal threshold that sent adventurers into mindscapes drawn from each other's secrets, traumas, and inner feelings, the dungeon returned to a kind of... normalcy. The honeycomb calcite patterns returned, as did the honeyed false-light, and the susurration of...

    Laura clicked her tongue, her pricked ears straining to listen. "No, no, it's a voice, it's someone. Brisa, maybe, or— Or the dungeon spirit, if it's like Sinopa, the pueblos—" The whispering grew louder, louder, filling the ears like a rush of air, a stage-whispered roar... ...come close...

    Mhynt and Nova moved past to descend into the gap in the earth, and Jade followed soon after alongside Laura. Individually or in pairs, the Wayfarers entered the Mystery Dungeon, and crossed from the rift's shallows, to its interior. ...spouleh vahrah... It was as Douglas had said – the first...

    Roscoe sheltered a cigarette from the steppe winds with a cupped tail-hand as he fumbled with his lighter. "I don't much like this," he admitted, once he'd clicked it shut and returned it to his coat, "but I'll stand watch out here. I dunno that it'll be very useful of me, but at least it's...

    When an adventurer descends into cracks in the world-skin, they must surely have courage, to hold their nerve in the darkest places. Volition, too, to press on when wisdom would have them turn back – whether thirst for knowledge or a covetous heart be their motivation. Above all, a tether to the...
