Re: The Misadventures of the Missed Adventurers

"Hmm, I didn't think I'd have need of construction techniques here, but it seems I do."
Jack touches his fingertips together, draws them apart, and five thin green lines can be seen stretching from between his fingers.
"Normally this technique is used for building fairy palaces and cloud castles, but it will work here for a bridge."
With a flick of his wrists, Jack flings the five glowing green strands across the gap, where the stick to an outcropping. He then taps the green strands on the near side, and again, they stick. He then flicks his wrists and the strands stretch to the other side again. Continuing in this vein, Jack has several hundred lengths of thin glowing thread covering the trap door. He then proceeds to wave his hands across the the strands, bracing the side. After a time, the pit cannot be seen for the glowing threads. At that point, Jack taps his fingers together again, and the strands seal to themselves, drop away from his fingers, and contract so that the energy mat is quite tight. After a few seconds, the lines fade to invisibility. Jack then taps the apparently empty air between the edges, and a hollow thunk can be heard. Apparently satisfied, Jack calls up a breeze which moves some dust over the pit, which settles on the invisible bridge. Jack then calmly walks across.
"Come along, it's quite solid."
