Oh crap. Really? Lightning storm? ack! Damn, that sucks! Weird that it didn't eat ALL the wood on the dock, then. All those castle walkways will get torched.
Shit. Guess I could replace it with a different color stone, or maybe wool blocks. Can't remember if wool blocks are flammable.
Might have the ruins of Castle Slaytanic soon, instead... lulz.
In other news, I nearly crapped my pants and screamed like a little girl last night while I was doing a little light exploration into a newly discovered cave two creepers jumped down from above and gave me the "CHEERIO GOOD CHAP, IT'D BE A SSSSSSSSSSSSssssHAME IF YOU LOST ALL THAT DIAMOND GEAR!"
I escaped with a half a heart of health and I was on the edge of a block that would have dropped me into lava.
