• 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?

    Following the Wayfarers' meeting with Arthur, in which they had a brief conversation with Gladius, Gladion would find himself delivered a parcel by teleport express late that same night. In it are folders full of scientific documentation, ferrotype images, scrawled notes of correspondence...

    Gladius winces at that, immediately agitated. He clutches his wrist, his grip tight. "I wasn't trying to wipe 'em out, if that's what you're getting at," he mutters, defensiveness all over his face and in his tone of voice. "The Wayfarers— The one's who've been around since the start— They're...

    "I mean, I guess so. It's not like I can remember the details, but it must've been. Can't imagine why, though." From his face, it looks like he could make a stab in the dark about it, but he's genuinely not sure. He falls into asking how Lillie's doing lately, and other small talk. Then...

    Following the events at Prism Hollow, the Wayfarers disperse as they always do. Brisa, Starr and Jesse, however – not having the luxury of using Betel's waypoint network – travel by more mundane means to the nearest safe city: Novelux. There, the local Covenant cell is Articuno's operation, i.e...

    Jesse Stranger is no longer sheriff, but he still carries himself with the tight-wound authority of one, even after everything he's been through in his last few years of absence. He isn't especially horrified by Andre's murder record. "The sadism's the more off-colour part of the whole, so far...

    Amida is happy to receive more visitors. She's growing curious about the modern world – what's a telegraph? What's a newspaper? What's a government? She is endlessly energetic in her questioning. She's also willing to tell a little of the world she remembers, although she does rather dismiss it...

    In this case, 'the authorities' are Sheriff Sonora and Mayor Greasewood. They have no idea what to make of Andre's confession, given the closest thing to what he's done is "committed a crime abroad" outside of local jurisdiction. They're not sure he's mentally well. (He's not.) In the end they...

    The good folks of Frontier Town find Lyra quite charming, for the most part, even if the more roughshod types judge her to be an innocent li'l thing what oughta be in school or somesuch. By happenstance, she has a chance meeting with one Torterra Esther, an elder resident who predates the town's...

    The Rangers are busy, but glad to have Jade back and that she's okay – would she mind taking on a few jobs? Thanks. Between a formal debriefing with a patient Razael – and an informal gossipmongering session with Sinopa, Ollin, and Nico – Jade more or less gets the big picture. With Cipher gone...

    The Wardens are fine, but changing. Although they are a culture of habit and tradition, there's something exciting about a rebuilding effort, and purposeful military exercises. Not to mention that their primary charge is now not to protect the Mesa itself, but the 'new sun' and the local...

    Once things wrap up in Kivara, Laura is glad to be headed home. She wants to be warm again, and to check in at the Gazette office, and figure out what to do next. But first, she has to handle Matthias. Not that she can actually force him to do anything he doesn't want to, unfortunately. And...

    The Wayfarers, one by one, each group in its turn, find themselves reconnected to Betel's network. Long-distance telepathy is reestablished (seemingly possible once each group has completed the task they were faced with...) and with it, the combat interface and the ability to create dungeon...

    Welcome, heroic spirits. You awaken in an unfamiliar place with what might be an unfamiliar body. You recall having a strange dream before arriving here. A golden voice was speaking to you, but its voice was so very far away, and under a great strain. You are struck with the awareness that...

    Koa's politeness serves him well in avoiding Estelle's verbal or literal edge. "This place is a whole culture, Koamaru of the Stars. Our relative isolation keeps us safe, and helps us serve our duty. There have been times in history when the fort has come under siege, but none have ever...

    The Wardens are pretty secretive about the interior of their fort, but Betel – much more proficient in their abilities than they were several months ago – now notices that there is clearly a Mystery Dungeon somewhere in the area, likely with an entrance within Fort Sunward. Koa is politely but...
