I'm trying to think of ways to defend my LEGO castle. Is there a way I can shoot some flaming arrows into the hearts of the invaders? Maybe some burning oil?

Burning oil is the easier of the two, since the basic flame elements

can connect into a realistically looking stream of liquid fire:

Depicting individual arrows is a lot harder due to the absence of a single arrow piece (aside from the proportionally way oversized harpoon piece), and adding a flame piece is even harder. Your best bet would probably be adding a flame piece, any of the several sizes available to a shield:

Or use a flame piece with a shaft as a combined arrow and flame:

But if 3rd party pieces are not out of question, you can get some convincing results, in this case with Brickarms arrows:

    It may be worth noting that the current version of that flame element can no longer connect in this way. – jncraton May 14 '20 at 14:19
  • I just emailed brickarms and they say they don't sell arrows anymore - too bad. – Monte Gardner May 14 '20 at 15:23

    That flame shaft looks like it could work. Could I combine one of those with a signal paddle (part #3900) somehow, perhaps with an appolo stud (part #85861). Then attach the paddle to a stoplight to allow for some arbitrary rotation. Would that work? – Monte Gardner May 14 '20 at 15:29
  • @user3794648 Yes, both would work. – zovits May 15 '20 at 07:02
