"I don't know.  We were digging them out and one went off."

[Xantalos]

((Xan should eat one to gain fire power.))

((Or explode))

((That's still a fire spell. The only problem is it can only be used once.))

((Unfortunately similar to the spell that killed him, so no dice for now.

Maybe as a spiteful self-destruct.))

"I don't know.  We were digging them out and one went off."

"They might be triggered by vibration then. I don't know if there's any way to test that out that doesn't involve one of you dying, but it would be handy if we found that out."

[Comrade P.]

"They might be triggered by vibration then. I don't know if there's any way to test that out that doesn't involve one of you dying, but it would be handy if we found that out."

- I think we can run an experiment. When I cry FIRE IN THE HOLE be sure to steer clear from... that place, yeah, that'll do.

Pick up one of the pebbles Dave brought in, with armored hand. Place it on the railing, or any elevated surface on the edge of the platform. Make everyone steer clear from that place, also, move other rocks from there. Helmet on. Take aim and shoot the rock with the rifle from some distance. Maximum available distance.

((Thanks for opening new spots.))

[Xantalos]

Fuck off to the other end of the warbeast from where John's doing his experiment thing.

[Harry Baldman]

Vacate the warbeast and fly around. See if anything's awoken in the ruins from all that explosion business.

[Toaster]

Fuck off to the other end of the warbeast from where John's doing his experiment thing.

This is sound advice; I think I will follow it.

"They might be triggered by vibration then. I don't know if there's any way to test that out that doesn't involve one of you dying, but it would be handy if we found that out."

"Well, they rode up here in my mouth with no issue.  If this doesn't kill us, we could try grinding one up."

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Hyenakles snaps at John, grabbing him by the arm.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Stop John, in the name of (relative) sanity. Confiscate the  rock if I have to.

[Comrade P.]

- What, you think it's going to explode that bad? I really don't know. You seem alive after one did it in your face.

[Egan_BW]

Fuck off to the other end of the warbeast from where John's doing his experiment thing.

Do this.

[Parisbre56]

((It's kinda like saying "I'll shoot this bottle of nitroglycerine inside my car instead of throwing it out the car's window". Granted, the beast is larger and sturdier than a car, but the platform you are standing on is not.))

[Comrade P.]

((The platform has enough free space, from how it was described earlier. Plus chances are the shot will knock the rock from the rail and out of Warbeast.))

You miss like a champ.

Hyenakles snaps at John, grabbing him by the arm.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Stop John, in the name of (relative) sanity. Confiscate the  rock if I have to.

Hyenakles thwacks John upside the head with his deer flank.

"Oi, I'm already missing all my fur, I'd like not to lose anything else. If you'd like to see how reactive they are, go down to the surface, grab two of them and smack them together really hard."



Everyone else very reasonably runs the fuck away and takes cover on the opposite end of the platform. The engine spirit grumbles because no one took him away from the impending doom.

[Comrade P.]

- Okay, alright, fine, I'm not smashing any rocks up here anymore.

Get the rock in question and toss it overboard, towards something solid, like the ruins. See what it does on impact.

[Harry Baldman]

Continue flying high and watching out for explosion-attracted wildlife (which, considering it would be attracted to explosions, would presumably be quite the deadly sort of wildlife indeed).
