"Ready for launch. Activating rails in T minus 5..4..3..2.. Engine ignition.. Launch!"

A jet of blue-yellow flames erupts out of the back of the engines, I pull a heavy electrical switch that causes all the lights in the facility to dim greatly. The craft begins ascending up the rail with a steady climb.

"Reaching outer stratosphere, turning on climate control. Activating liquid hydrogen flow. Engines switching in T minus 3..2..1.. Engines reaching optimal acceleration."

"MC, we are leaving the rail end in 7..6..5..4..3..2.. And we have separation. Activating engine gimbaling. Beginning orbital burn."

"Switching to manual controls, receiving video feedback from internal and external cameras."

A small solar panel, antenna, camera, magnetic alignment device, and oxygen tank with electronic valve release at the end of the mesosphere from a small compartment in the back. It begins thrusting upwards into a stable orbit as the pod falls back through the atmosphere.

"Opening parachutes." The open compartment releases a drag chute that pulls out a large circular parachute. The pod lands in the Pacific Ocean as I pull up in a jetski. I get the pilot and hook the pod with a chain as I dragged the remains of the spacecraft back to the shore. The plating needed refitting, aswell as the wheels, and most of the cameras need new lenses.

"And in other news today an unidentified spacecraft launched at 10:35 this morning, we still don't know who launched this craft or why. The UN holds it's breath incase of nuclear ICBMs. I have been Jerry Lyson with the evening news."

Jebidiah McPilot springs to mind.

It doesn't have a parachute, so maybe it was wise to wait for launch.

I add a parachute to the inside of the hatch, a large parachute made out of nylon. I prep everything for launching. Including a wannabe 23yr old spaceman.

Upright weapon traps don't needs any mechanisms to make though, so i'm not sure if that's the case.

*claps*

It was an artifact spear, so since it doesn't derive skill from mechanisms, it takes it's 'skill' from the quality. So the spear is providing a very high skill attack which (probably due to falling or crap materials) is always blocked/parried. Since they blocked/parried such a high skill attack they gain lots of levels!

Or so I assume, I could be entirely wrong. I do however believe this is the most probable case.

Go collect that xXPig tail fiber sockXx from the trap hallway.

WWUD if he never had alcohol in his entire life?

Cry when it gets stolen by kobold theives. Tantrum when the entire army is on break and doesn't retrieve it. Destroy the only pillar holding up the beggining of my sky fort. Kill 99% of the populace. Be buried by a legendary strand puller.

WWUD if the entire fortress fell on him?

I am back again!
THERE IS NO ESCAPE!

I'll be a crash test dummy, or something equally adventurous.

Be a raving alchemist. Turn dirt into gold, and then we can fund this goddamn space program. I've already promised my workers immortality, so if you could do that it would be great.

Zombies just don't give a %#+*, they attack anything. So bring everything you will ever need on-site and wall off the fort entrance. You are safe from all sieges and such. Ever now and then all the hair and skin needs to be cleansed from the outside with some magma, otherwise a slow and painful FPS death awaits.
