Puzzle Description:

One of the torchmen, the air defense system of the city of Mechanicsburg in the graphic novel Girl Genius. When dormant, the torchmen serve as the city's very decorative lamp posts. When activated, the lamp posts spread their wings, burst into flame, and rise in a swarm of hundreds to destroy any airborne threats near the city. They turn the posts they sat upon into giant spears with the light bulb end held in their hands. Old timer airmen of all the airship fleets of Europa remember "If you'd live to see the end of day, from Mechancsburg two leagues stay."
