    Chapter 19

    Don't forget there is still a rogue, Red Great somewhere and he's gonna be pissed.

    Auguste Piccard, its inventor, coined the word by combining bathy with a form of the Greek word for ships hull.

    The design is ingenious. The largest part, the float on top, is filled with buoyant gasoline. Hoppers, open at the bottom, are filled with iron shot held by electromagnets. When released, the weight reduction allows the craft to surface and it's a failsafed system.

    The dance the spritely spirit taught Aegir was the Drow Death Dance, and he learned it well. This chapter was unexpected, but ever so welcome and a true joy to read.

    @Roland This was a magnificent battle scene. You captured the chaos and confusion along with both numbing fear and staunch bravery. All of our young warriors did well, but Aegir, Lew, and Sigvat stand out. This hoard the Reds were after was intended for Xavier, and now he has it. Are these two lone Alphar the ones banished to walk back to Alphar lands in Kandric's tale?

    And they'll need enough fuel for the other ship and it's another three months to get back.

    Chapter Ten

    drpaladin commented on Mike Carss's story chapter in Chapter Ten

    Brohm and Theodrik have reached a tentative truce. With hardheaded Brohm, it's quite an achievement. At least Brohm is trying to quell his quick trigger temper. It's his worst trait. I had wondered why the demon left Nathan behind, but his reasoning is sound and it did work out for the best.

    The bigger question is why the Ulaa-Laa was taken out there to begin with.

    The Trieste is the most famous bathyscaphe. In 1960, it descended to Challenger Deep (35,814), the deepest known spot in the Earth's oceans.

    They never declare any treasure anyway. Laws like those just fuel a substantial and lucrative black market.

    The agent has a weird sense of humor. Connor is making good progress with his anger issues.

    The unexplored areas of the universe are too vast to contemplate. This task seems close to hopeless until they receive a transmission from the Ulaa-Lah. Will this help to find her or is it just the beginning of another long trek?

    In its original meaning, bailiwick was the jurisdiction of a bailiff, an official akin to a sheriff in medieval England.

    Gee, Connor the adult arises at last.

    This occurred to me, but it's never been indicated they've practiced changing into horses that I can recall.

    Besides, an ATV wouldn't get spooked and run off if they had to transition.

    No crime in scouting it out and look Ma, no guns.

    Meh. Hunters use ATVs all the time. Nothing unusual there. Now people showing up with no visible supplies or equipment after being out for a long period? Now that's odd.

    Better to be more proactive and prepared. Moving anything they might find is only part of the equation anyway.

    This would be unlikely to work well. Explosives are something I know quite well. Black powder is a low grade explosive. It has a lower detonation rate than more modern explosives and wouldn't shatter the rock as much as say dynamite or nitro. This is why miners used and still use high rate explosives, to pulverize rock. They will be dealing with bigger pieces and trying to distribute it out on the cave floor will only make a surface unstable to walk on.

    No "Bring me the broom of the Witch of the West?" I guess they're really building this gizmo.

    I was thinking more in terms of ATVs and a trailer to begin with. All the fall will have to be moved outside and away since there is little room inside.

    Lots of logistical problems to overcome when they return. Pre-positioning the needed equipment and getting it to the site will be a pain.

    It's a starting point with a possibility for treasure.
