Component name: Gobbie Gofast Engine Mk I

When it comes to producing raw horsepower, few can compare to the marvels of Goblin technology. Who better to steal borrow ideas from than the masterful mechanics, themselves?!



In order to infiltrate a known goblin stronghold, one bold adventurer donned the guise of the lively little beastfolk. Slipping past the sentries was a cakewalk for this master of subterfuge!

***



Left to her own devices with an infamous gobmachine, our dashing heroine laid claim to the rolling metal beast. Escaping the stronghold was a cinch with the raw firepower of the tank. Though we would like to say no beastmen were harmed in the making of this engine, that would be an utter lie. Many lives were quelled beneath the treads of the war machine, and even more bit it at the end of the barrels of its impressive cannons.

***



Prize in hand, all that was left now was to gently encourage (read; demand) the crafting guilds to lend their prowess to the cause. With a little nifty reverse-engineering, the secrets of the Goblin engines were ripe for the picking. The sheer power of a prop powered by the Gobbie Gofast Engeine Mk I is sure to knock your socks off... From a malm away!

Component name: Gordian Slide

Do you have crummy piloting skills? Then my Gordian Slide is perfect for you! This new invention will allow you to slide out of your airship swiftly and smoothly without any landing needed.



To gather the materials, I spoke to the Goblins in Outer La Noscea who are very familiar with mechanical crafts. They offered I do tasks for them in exchange for some aurum regis and adamantite nuggets, which I did!



With the gathered materials, I flew to the Dravanian Hinterlands and looked for the best spot that has Alexander's view.



Alexander was my inspiration and I wanted to get the best view in order to craft my Gordian Slide to perfection!
