Kobold & Skylane
Skylane
Hey Kobold, heard you’re building a winged gadget—mind giving me a quick rundown? I’ve been charting some routes that might just need a dash of your crazy tech to make them fly.
Kobold
Kobold here! So my winged gadget is basically a hybrid of a kite and a jetpack—think lightweight alloy wings that flare out on command, powered by a miniature turbine and a burst of compressed air from the tail fin. I’ve built a gyroscope for stability, and a quick‑release safety harness in case the bird‑brain goes haywire. If you’ve got those routes you’re mapping, just hook up the power module, set the altitude controls, and boom—flight in minutes. Let me know where you need to go, and I’ll tweak the wing span for optimal lift.

Nice specs, Kobold, that turbine‑kite combo sounds promising. Let’s see how it handles a quick climb to 3,000 feet over the ridge, then we can fine‑tune the span for maximum lift. Give me the coordinates and we’ll test it out.
Kobold
Coordinates are 45.8723° N, 122.4759° W—right over the ridge you mentioned. Just line up the turbine, fire up the air compressor, and it should lift up to 3,000 feet in a clean climb. Let me know how it feels, and I’ll tweak the wing angle for that sweet, gliding lift.

Sounds good, Kobold—give me a heads‑up once the lift stabilizes, and I’ll keep an eye on the wind shear over the ridge. If the climb feels a bit shaky, we’ll adjust the wing angle right away. Let’s hit that 3,000‑foot mark and see how it rides.
Kobold
Lift’s stabilizing—hold on tight, the turbine’s humming and the wings are filling with air, so we’re hovering at 3,000 feet now. Keep an eye on the ridge wind, and I’ll tweak the span if we feel any wobble. Happy flying!

Great, the wind’s a little brisk out there—just a touch of turbulence from the ridge, but overall steady. I’ll keep my eyes on the drift; if the blades start to feel like a shaky dance, let me know, and we can adjust the wing angle a tad to smooth the glide. Happy hovering!
Kobold
Nice to hear the wind’s steady—if the blades start jittering, just tap the angle dial, and I’ll shift the wing span a touch to even out the glide. Keep me posted if anything feels off, and we’ll tweak it on the fly. Happy hovering!
