Brontosaurus

BIG DINO COOL.

Dr McWheelingston has created a new prototype of mech-suit, this one designed to be supremely durable against kinetic damage. A comprehensive - if obviously insane - way to test their durability would be to agitate one of the planet's many herds of diplodocuses. If their mighty tails are unable to knock down the mechs, then the machines can be deemed battle-ready.

In the lands of Sin Darya, humans have with more or less success tamed almost all species of dinosaurs. However, the mighty sauropods remain too mighty to be tamed by the little folk. On the other hand, a family of especially pacifist great cyclopes has managed to tame at least one herd of brontosauruses, and have used the giant dinos as their main source of food for years.
Recently, a parasitic skin infection has affected the herd. While they learned that the fungal growth can be scrubbed off, the cyclopes are neither perceptive nor careful enough to effectively save all their dinosaurs. Hence, they asked the humans for some help - but are unwilling to guarantee no harm will come to them, given how the brontos get aggressive occasionally.

A group of explorers tried to find an old efreeti said to dwell at the bottom of a dead volcano. They did not find the outsider, but ended up on a wild adventure exploring the hollow interior of their world, finding an ecosystem much unlike the one on the surface, with giant lizards being the dominant species.
After several years of searching, they have finally found a crack in the "ceiling", leading them back to the outside world. While it is quite high up, the druid has an idea - if they can keep one of the long-necked lizard-beings calm, they may be able to climb up it's massive neck.
