Welcome back to the Latest Thread of Occupied Equestria

Onyx, Spark and Brie settle down for the night in a cabin in the woods along with a set of recently rescued ponies, saved from Changeling cocoons, as well as the changelings who sought to take them captive, who are themselves locked away as captives.

In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, Iron, and now Midnight Lily do their last preparations before seeking to take on a creature smuggling operation in a port-side neighborhood

So, we both were thinking the exact same thing, but because we were both waiting for the other person to say something, neither of us took the initiative to say "Can I have the sword", or "Go ahead and keep the sword"? That's...actually kinda funny.
I was expecting after Silver commented on its quality and offering it back to Maren that Maren would say something to the effect of "Keep it. It suits you better than me, anyways" or "perhaps with you wielding it it will be used for some good", and give it right back to Silver.

"Hmm? Something to add?"

Well yeah, if there are tens of thousands of Jesus of Nazareth's running around making food out of nothing, how would mass famines like we see in the real world be possible, and why even keep earth ponies around if you never need to farm? These kinds of spells were thought of by people who never thought out the implications magic would have on the greater world

Well then, if it's still there tomorrow when he volunteers, then I suppose Silver will have himself a new fancy sword. Otherwise, I guess it just despawned and is lost forever.
To be honest, when I saw the amount of Bits Silver got for that job, I thought that that was the original idea you had for a reward, and I wasn't entirely torn up about that. It just sucks knowing my stupid ass didn't check that ghast's body and missed out on something neat.

Simple. By limiting the amount of Jesuses.
As well as devoting their whole life to a deity, which most ponies can't do if they were honest with themselves.

(What a nice pony, but she does not seem to eager to be eating that. Perhaps I should treat her to Cauldron's cooking when I get the chance. The closer we get, the more eager she would be to accept going to the jungle.)

“Very well. It is as you say it shall be”
A unicorn in the back places on glasses, then pulls down a recurved short bow with bone on its back and center. He looks st the picture of Dark Star’s mother. Then, at the bow. He shoots a beam of fire at the bow. Stops it, continues, then again and again in a pattern. At the end of it, Dark Star’s mother is burned into the yew in the bow.

Then the bow is grabbed by red magic, and carried over to Dark Star
“Here is your bow.”

Dark Star has now a couple +1 recurved composite bow with Manticore bone that is engraved with a picture of his mother, and has a number of arrows as well as a quiver to go with it. Though it isn’t huge, it is still rather large and may be difficult to hide.
Was it a merciful enchantment?

It’s snout curls up a bit, as it now sniffs Spark’s body.
Fun keeps his distance

Spark gently pats the ground again while looking at Fun.
"Come on Fun. It's ok."

Iron nods.

Dawson:
“Well, I guess I can understand the desire for some payback on those monsters. Just wish he had somewhere else to it than my bedroom. Thank you, by the way”
Rose (crying): “I really thought I would be hanging upside down until I died”
Dawson (looking down at Rose): “it’s okay sweetie, you’re safe now”
He pets her hair

Red Wine: “Are you sure there’s nothing else out there?”
Ruby comforts Rose as well

"If there is anything else, I'll be sure to meet it with a hefty blow."
He glances to where his halberd is resting against the wall.
"A hefty blow indeed."

“Good Stallion. What brought you around here?”

"You're welcome. As for what brought me? A bat and my unicorn friend in there. They kinda dragged me along since they needed a bodyguard of sorts. Not quite sure what they're up to though."

"Awwww."
Spark continues to comfort Seb in hopes Fun will like him more.
