Forgotten Beastīs Flames
« on: May 27, 2020, 05:26:43 am »

Had my first FB composed of fire. It was fun seeing it burn the whole caverns, but then it was killed off by a swallow.

Now the interesting bit is, years later there is still an "Eliratholathoīs flames" at the spot where it died - in the water, no less. Apparently those "flames" are its corpse. They have a temperature of over 5200 Celsius (over 19000 Urist), way hotter than magma. They're also very light (<1 urists).

My questions:

1) Is it possible to haul these "flames" without setting a dwarf on fire?
2) Is there some application for them? Setting goblins on fire, powering a steam engine, anything?

Can be carried no problem. I believe they break pedestals if placed on them, but otherwise I think there's not much interaction it gives after that. I don't know if you could even light grass on fire with it.
