As in, somewhere with water. Wasn't there a pool of water we had to cross somewhere? Can't look atmDo we have a way of throwing them into water without getting electrocuted?
EDIT: Wait, that could work. We'd stick Cherish in our bag (if an adult corpse takes up two inventory slots, Cherish shouldn't take up more than that) and Goom-Bess in our remaining inventory slots. Or the other way around--stick the mercenary in the bag and give the healer a piggyback ride.

Roll To Dodge / Re: Airship Combat: Now with More, probably hard to follow, Tutorials
« on: July 19, 2013, 11:33:59 am »
Which reminds me of an idea I had: Different types of airships.
Balloons, for instance, would be smaller but more easily moved. I think they'd need some engines or something, as well as guns of course, but the concept should work. They'd likely be cheap due to not needing expensive components like lodestones, but would be slow (as noted) and fragile due to the unprotected envelope.
To go more with the WWI idea, little biplane fighters that could be launched off the decks of the big airships would be neat. They'd be in between balloons and airships in maneuverability (maybe up to 90 degrees of turns per turn?) and faster than either, but they can't hover and don't have more than one gun. They'd also be limited to one or maybe two crewmembers, and of course no cannons. Oh, and they'd go down with a strong hit. Good for bigger airships.
A modification of the drop-pod idea might be boarding rockets, which would have space for a pilot and a few "marines". Speed comparable to or greater than the planes but minimal maneuverability, probably needing to roll to turn 45 degrees.
Of course, some of these might need to wait until we had enough players to have massive battlestars fighting small fleets or something like that.
