+1 player plot; or, why gnomish engineering is a problem!

[torchedhunt]

Hey folks! Thanks to the kind approval of Ophelia-mod, and because I haven't caused her enough trouble yet - Luminada the blood elf hunter/engineer has a player plot a-goin' now!

Long story short, Luminada volunteered to make fireworks for Thor's little get-together. FIREWORKS, I said.



She's going to end up making tiny robots instead, and they will end up swarming the feast (and, indeed, the city as a whole). Don't worry, they're harmless! ...They're just...not fireworks. Running across the clinky li'l things is optional of course, and Lumi will be making a post on the network and a log in order to ask for help cleaning this up.



Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we don't spec in Gnomish engineering. It's awesome, but it's unreliable as hell.
This PSA brought to you by a blood elf with battered pride and a bunch of dinky little 'bots.

omg

yesssssssssssssssss

little baby fireflies made of technological awesome

at least, that's what i've mentally made them into. in the last four minutes

[torchedhunt]

Fireflies, sure, why not.

And science indeed. \o/

[deathwarder]

Dragons and robots?

Man, this feast is going to be a beautiful disaster.

[torchedhunt]

Tiny little robots that do nothing but are not fireworks! :D

[shelkethetransparent]

Oooh. So, can Shelke maybe a collect a few of these? And just sort of tinker with them? or will they explode?

Wait, they're not goblin engineering...

[torchedhunt]

Shelke can certainly collect them! And they...probably....won't explode....Gnomish engineering is unreliable, yannow. :(

[shelkethetransparent]

Awesome.

When is/was the party anyway?

[torchedhunt]

On the 23rd! The log is already up it seems.

[kingside]

So like, are they going to have an ultimate battle of epic proportions against the dragons

should we start placing bets

is there any chance she'll be making something resembling a Fluxfire Feline

I am totally asking this out of academic interest what are you talking about.

[torchedhunt]

No epic battles! They're just...not going to be fireworks. At all. They're just going to be there, everywhere.

Hell, start placing bets if you want anyway.

what is th-- oh my lord yes. Not for this event because only a true gnome could pull off fireworks -> cute mechacritter, but THIS WILL HAPPEN SOMEDAY I SWEAR IT.

[kingside]

I want to catch one of those things like you have no idea. I may or may not have made it my personal mission to get all of the kitty combat pets. Uhhh, but yeah, looking forward to both fireworks-that-aren't and kittens.

[demonbloodblade]

Bloody Gondsmen. Always with mechanical exploding things.

(seriously, this is going to be hilarious.)

[falsehoods]

Loki will be watching this with his scrying orb. He loves you all.

Question, though, for the masses, how would people feel about him scooping one of these up? He has the ability to enchant and mess with the size of things. He'd turn it into one of THOSE robots. You know the ones.

It'd hang out in front of his castle.

Odds are he'd be able to alter its size permanently since he was an arcane engineer for a while in canon until Marvel forgot he was.

[torchedhunt]

....Luminada would strongly prefer it if her accidents were not used for these shenanigans.

I, on the other hand, am cool with this turn of events. :|b

[falsehoods]

Could be worse. He could grab four of them and create his own Omnotron Defense System.
