"Carp.  Must've overdone it with all the wounded."

>See if there's anything else that needs to be done to recover from the siege, other than rebuilding guns; the person who designed guns that exploded in the first place can deal with that.

''Ahem. you wanted guns immediately, so you got mark I prototypes that weren't tested past 150 shots of fire. Anyway, obtain me some good high carbon steel and the ability to make it and you get bettered guns. Simple!''

[Amperzand]

[IIRC, at least these initial guns were designed by random NPC mechanics, and the now-dematerialized GMPC. They were almost completely untested, and the original builders are mostly dead now. Gwolf is an engineer, not a gunsmith, though given his likelyhood of real skill in either area, he can do basically anything with the same level of skill.]

((Are the remains of that enchantment still there or did it actually go kapoof?))

[Gwolfski]

"Alright. Do you want big guns, fast guns, blast guns or long range guns? Or maybe also some steam traps?"

[LordPorkins]

"Small Guns. Better for Ninjaing."

[Amperzand]

[@guns; All of the above would be useful.]

[@Fish; do some experiments and find out.]

[TheBiggerFish]

Look at the thing.  With magesight.  And all that.

>Suggest that we build some more traditional weapons. Trebuchets work just fine and are much less prone to exploding than anything that's been discussed so far.

After that, ask if Fish could help me take a look at the mysterious rock after he's done doing whatever.

((IS ANYTHING ON THIS FORUM TRADITIONAL OR NON-EXPLODING!?!?!?))

[TheBiggerFish]

((Yes.))

Detect magic on the rock thing, I guess.

((of course not. What a silly question. however, steam-rocket trebuchets  sound nice))

[LordPorkins]

((Rockets with trebuchets attached that fire steam powered mugs!!!))

[Amperzand]

[A trebuchet with steam machinery for resetting it to fire position, throwing dynamite charges. I've actually thought previously that trebuchets would be a great way of throwing dynamite, since cannons just set it off with the concussion and people really, really can't throw large charges far enough.]

[I place no guarantees on the proximity of updops, but quite possibly today.]
