As Phina composes herself and climbs back into her strange armor she works her way over to the pile of rubble. She works to try and move the larger stones that have collapsed on the tunnel. The armor strains and manages to move some of the larger boulders, but it is still slow going. Finally she seems to be struck by an idea.
Alright, stand back everyone, I've never gotten to try this out, she says as the armor takes a braced stance and points the arm with the arcane lancer attached to it forward. She pulls another lever and the lancer starts to glow with a pulsating blue light. It makes a high pitched whine as the glow gains in intensity. Finally a blue electric bolt flies forth from the lancer and with a BOOM it impacts the rocks creating a small explosion of crackling energy.
The air is filled with dust and debris. As it slowly fades and settles you see a large cavity blown in the collapsed rock that leads to the tracks that were once buried. You can now enter and continue along the train tunnel.
Firn
As you hear Phina starting to work on moving the rocks you go to investigate the train. As you approach the train the flames have died down to almost nothing. The main train car looks as though it was blown apart internally. You also notice a familiar scent. Having dealt with pirate ships in the past it's something quite familiar. Black powder. The very same that would be loaded into cannons on ships to fire cannonballs. You've heard tale of people using this same black powder to make explosive devices.
Looking around more you find mostly only charred bodies in the soldier car, and nothing is left of the ratman that was driving this train, but you do find something strange. It looks like the charred leg of a small lizard man. A kobold, probably.
Just then you feel the ground rumble as Phina blows a hole into the tracks below.
