Even large dragons like Valrinda aren't safe from some of the dangers of this world. For Beckett, the hardship of trying to avoid possible troubles might be more grueling than the troubles themselves.

Typically, for them.

Hopefully, it will engender some terror in the arrogant asses.

I think he would have to have been there when the magic was done to know how to undo it.

This quest began with the innocent and naive notion it would be limited to somehow making Urvan undo his rather minor curse on Sedwick. The enormity of the evil the Forest Mages are doing has finally sunk in. The reality they will need to exact final justice has hit Jamie hard. Killing, even in the cause of good, hadn't been cause for thought until he was faced with it. It seems the Knack is slowly awakening in the peoples of the lowland. Where will this trend lead?

Delivering payloads to a certain, fixed orbit would be a possibility for the rockets. Though we've yet to see any launch site for much larger space vehicles.

Sorry, @raven1@Bill Wbut the wilder the ride, the better. -
I'm a bit surprised Mac didn't get put on the spot to elaborate what he'd learned while researching his 'trip.' You have to be prepared to back up a deception. In a way it's satisfying he isn't more skilled at deceit.

It's too soon to say it's not fusion. We've seen they had machines repairing and maintaining machines. There would certainly be something similar taking care of something as vital as power.

They are benefiting greatly by proceeding at a sure yet moderate pace. It's allowing them to accumulate the skills and knowledge they will need for the confrontation to come. As Snave says, simply working together and freely sharing puts them ahead of the enemies they face. Now who or what has died in this desolate place?

The ancients manufactured food from raw materials. Would it be a stretch they made fresh water too?

LOL It wouldn't hurt.

Not to be negative, but sometimes they burst.

Our gang covered a lot of ground, both mentally and physically. It helped greatly to have refreshing showers, hot meals, and soft beds. If most of this journey continues this way, this task will not be so trying. Jamie is pioneering an entirely new vision of the nature of magic and its relation to the nether. Their next visit there promises to be most interesting.

It takes immense heat to literally burn stone and metal in an instant, like the contact of the sun. The persisting poison of the land and clothing is the other clue.

You're thinking in terms of a power plant rather than a weapon. Modern nuclear weapons are fusion devices.

Yes. I do it too. Though now that I no longer have cats, these are mostly silent. Except the profane ones. -
The Breath of the Dragon, which is most certainly nuclear fusion, still requires the presence of a device somewhere relatively close to initiate it, so it doesn't eliminate the rockets.

After thinking on these events, it's hard to believe mages have never battled each other with lightning bolts. It is one of the most elemental powers. Unless it's part of the lost knowledge.

I'd say more like pirates and thieves trying to take advantage of the technology for their own ends. They've been after it longer and have an advantage at this point, but as Jamie learns this advantage dwindles.

But if they had followed this edict, they wouldn't have come so far so quickly. I'm all for a bit of poking around myself.

Their quest lies further on, but they've seen the face of their enemy and now know they might be formidable but not all knowing or omnipotent.
