• 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?

Sojaveña Wilds Rail Bridge Over the Silver

[Ch03] ~ Finale ~ A Pyre For Engines
  • The Escarpa were already there, some patrolling the skies above while others worked on deploying their dungeon-sourced explosives to the struts all along one side of the bridge truss. Blast seed powder, packed tightly into wax moulds, strung with thin cords and laced together by some kind of sinuous fuses. It seemed the clan could manufacture a form of dynamite, after a fashion. They had no industrialised production – they must have been working on this for an awfully long time. Presumably the rail had at least some form of elemental proofing to prevent its easy destruction by the warriors' own powers – this, then, was their means of circumventing that.

    It looked like they were about halfway done, but even a few blasting charges going off would be enough to damage the bridge severely. One could easily imagine it crashing under the weight of an incognizant driver's train, in spectacular fashion.

    The work continued. It wouldn't be long now.
