"F-frozen confect-WHAT? Oh." - he suddenly went from scared to excited, to say the least. - "Oh, you mean the snowmilk? I like snowmilk."
"And about the current situation...Well, the elves are rebelling again-" - in this moment you stop him and tell him that elves told you that dwarves are the one to break up here. His only response was mad laughter.
"ELVES TOLD YOU? HAHAHA, don't be stupid. They're ELVES and they LIED to you! And what, they probably also told you that Golden King is their king? OF COURSE NOT! The Golden King, or rather, The Mountain King was and still is the very king of dwarves, but those pesky elves attacked the Goldenvale and now he's kept captive. See that giant blue shield around the city?" - he says and points at Goldenvale in the distance - "It was made to prevent us from rolling in with bombs and to keep the king inside. Anything that passes through this is rendered dead and useless."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Dead and useless, or just dead?"

[Mesa]

"Dead and useless, or just dead?"

"Dead for the living things, and useless for stuffs like bombs. So you better not touch it."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"How much have you tested its effect on magical things?"

[GrizzlyAdamz]

"How long have the elves & dwarves been fighting?"

[Mesa]

"How long have the elves & dwarves been fighting?"

"I don't know. I just know that it started when we put embargo on wood trade with them. And then they put a booze trade embargo on them. And then uprisings happened in elven and dwarven cities almost at the same time, so I guess it explains why they told you that we're the one to start it all.
And about magic, I don't care about magic. Elves still believe in it, but for us, dwarves, "magic" is just specific type of science. They of course refuse to use the technology we've been trying to gift them to their fullest, so you can see that they use those old airships and muskets. Elves..." - he pauses and grabs a bottle of beer from his belt and takes a good sip.
"Want some?"

[Chink]

"I can't exactly drink anything right now, but thank you. I have to ask, though, when did dwarves and elves first ally? I don't remember dwarves and elves working together well in my time."

[GrizzlyAdamz]

blargh, darn dwarf didn't answer the question. Did they start fighting a month ago or 10 years?


+1 to chink

[Mesa]

"Gah, some three years or so. Or maybe four? I'm not the one to count this."

[NRDL]

"Does the shield around the city penetrate the ground?  Or can you dig underneath it?"

[GrizzlyAdamz]

I doubt the dwarf will know- it's an elven defense mechanism. If there were an obvious weakness & they knew about it, they'd have exploited it by now.

[10ebbor10]

So, the shields just stop bombs. Well, a decent sized rock, or cube of ice should do.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Oh jeez, talk about dumb bombs, that'd be such a horrible return on investment, destruction-wise.

-Hmm, though it begs the question; what does the shield do to prevent detonation? Depends on their bombs- if they've got some kinda rudimentary electronic triggering system, a simple emp would work on that but not affect a more mechanical trigger. And to frustrate something that renders large moving parts immobile, just drop something like nitro instead. Being a bomber crewman would be hazardous as hell, but it'd get the job done. If not nitro, what about napalm/nervegas? Does the shield just turn everything to stone? Hehe, the naming committee would have a field-day if that was the case.


---Heeeeh, went to do research on explosive firing pins, then I remembered what I was about to search for. Might as well type "Hello NSA! Keep tabs on me!"

[10ebbor10]

It's magical. Probably it just puts the entire thing in statis, preventing anything from happening within.

Also explains why it kills.

[Harbingerjm]

Does the shield just turn everything to stone? Hehe, the naming committee would have a field-day if that was the case.

First, the elves put up a shield that turned everything that was dropped on them to stone.
Then, they all died from head trauma.
