Welcome to thread two of AnCap's Epic Pony Adventure.
As we left off last time, the party of ponies and a cow had been teleported away by Discord. They are waking up in the back of a wagon, as a creamy colored pony with a multihued brown mane gazes at them over the wagon's edge.
844 replies and 125 files omitted.
Did the Survival and knowledge checks from last thread help to reveal what plane we're on?
>>111710Alright! I'm ready to wake up my PCs
>>111714Back on the prime material plane it seems.
>>111716Sister Ash seems both annoyed to have lost track of her target, but also somewhat relieved to have finally made to the prime material plane.
She greets the brown poner.
"Greetings." She says, with a bow
"Who are all of you? I am called Sonata. What in Equestria was that?"
>>111716>>111717Topaz groggily stands up.
"Ugh... good thing I have teleport legs
sea legs for teleporting."
She glances at the creamy colored pony.
"What region are we?" she asks to her.
Meanwhile, Diamond immediately wakes up, leaning back into a standing position while Topaz, opening one eye and seeing turtle shell, jumps off from the shell erratically, hovering in the air.
He rapidly looks around for the unicorn pony and rushes next to the big wagon, dusting himself off.
>>111719To all ponies present, more accurately.
>>111718Ears flickering towards her, Topaz turns around.
"Topaz Tower. Nice to meet you."
She does not seem as happy as before all these events happened, but puts on a little smile.
[1d20+47 = 62]>>111721>What region are we?"Let me check."
Sister Ash shuts her eyes and listens to the wind.
Rolling Survival
>>111710Is it too late for that pegasus to randomly reappear?
>>111717"Is everypony okay? You all just kinda poofed into my wagon here...."
>>111721"You're near Hevosenmat, but are you ponies okay?"
Hevosenmat is ye ol ponyvillie FYI>>111723See above
>>111724Nope! She's now in a wagon with
>Cao>Kirin>Three unicornsWith a forth unicorn agressively inquiring if they're okay.
>>111721"Sonata Deline, in full." She clasps her fore-hooves and gives a slight bow.
>>111720"If you're referring to what we just saw... I can only say it closely resembles one of the dragons of Limbo.. however, I've never met one that could wield such magic.." Sister Ash replies, as she dusts herself off and combs the mistletoe out of her hair
>>111728Cowe's brow furrows. "I no of no such creature with such power. It was as though he could bend reality; the effects he created were no illusion."
>>111726She looks around at the group a bit shyly.
>>111727"Hello."
>>111724I think you're already there with every other PC.
>>111727Her polite nature does cheer her up slightly, bowing to her as well to reciprocate the gesture.
"A pleasure."
>>111726She rubs her head, but smiles still
"I think I am. Name's Topaz. Nice to meet you."
Diamond simply nods.
Topaz lands right next to the dragon, looking around quickly, as if they are in danger after what just happened.
>>111728"It seems he was called to spread chaos for some reason," she adds.
>>111731Diamond pokes her, as if to try and call her attention, then proceeds to tilt his head towards Topaz. Seems he's trying to say he's with her.
>>111726Sister Ash bows again, out of habit
"I pardon your trouble, ma'dam. I am a but a wandering nun, on a pilgrimage from a far away land. I mean you no inconvenience."
>>111730The Kirin chuckles
"In Limbo, reality is an opinion. I've never met any creature so egotistical as to claim they ruled the plane on their own though. Nevertheless, it banished us."
>>111734*The dragon lands right next to the wagon,
>>111726Sister Ash bows for the third time
"I travel under the title of Sister Ash. It's a pleasure to meet you."
>>111733"It's no problem! I just run a small tavern, helping ponies is kinda my thing."
>>111734"I'm Cookie Dough, nice to meet you! Would you like to come inside?"
>>111737"The pleasure is mine."
>>111731"You were not present for what we just witnessed. May I ask your name?"
>>111735"Perhaps you have experience being forcibly transformed into a crab then? I've never experienced magic I couldn't resist, but this was,... something else."
>>111738Cowe repeats the bow to Cookie Dough.
>>111741"I'm Cherry Cordial. Nice to meet you."
>>111738Topaz is taken off guard by her suggestion.
"Wait, how near are we from the town? Aren't we inside the wagon already?"
Can Topaz see her surroundings from the wagon? If not, Phospy relays said info to Topaz through telepathic communication.
>>111739Diamond simply nods, then points his entire body towards Topaz as if a cartoon dog pointing where the scent leads.
>>111742Sorry, I mixed up my quotes, but oh wellCowe repeats the bow to Cherry.
>>111741"Actually, I do, but it wasn't involuntary." The nun replies
>>111742Yay, Healy pegasus has a name.
>>111741"Nice to meet you too"
>>111743"Oh, just a few miles. But I meant come into the tavern silly."
[1d20+15 = 25]
Yertle uses his racial bonus to stealth to make himself discreet among the wilderness in the distance.
I have to go eat dinner. brb in 20-30 mins
>>111746Topaz hums in thought, then nods.
"If you don't mind, of course," she tells Dough, smiling.
Feeling those Pinkie vibes with this one. >>111746"I have no coin to offer." Cowe says curtly.
>>111751"You'd be fine"
>>111753"I think any cow that just randomly appears in my wagon is there for a reason. You can rest a while."
>>111755"Thank you for your hospitality." She says, her expression brightening a bit, though clearly still concerned about everything that occurred.
>>111755Topaz nods.
"If I may be so bold, what were you doing before we poofed into your wagon?"
Quietly Cowe says to herself "Mountains, plains, shadows,..."
>>111758"Just grabbing some hay to restuff some beds."
Her horn ignites in an orange glow as she grabs some hay from a bed next to the wagon.
>>111760Seeing an opportunity, Cowe stands and begins carrying hay, waiting to follow Cookie with as much hay as she can carry (currently 22 str)
>>111759Topaz overhears her words, coming closer and entering whisper mode.
"You saw them, too, didn't you? I have a rough idea of where those places are."
>>111760While next to Sonata, he nods, smiling.
"I hope we did not cause you to lose progress on that, Dough. Feel free to ask for help, Diamond can help."
With that, the Earth Pony still coated in pyschoactive skin presents himself to her, awaiting instructions.
>>111762>>111763"You ponies are fine, but thank you! You can just follow me everypony!"
She trots with a skip in her step around the building, disappearing into a door.
>>111765Sister Ash decides to follow the poner, interested in seeing how the prime material plane has changed in the past few centuries.
Btw, what was pulling the wagon?
>>111765She sends off Diamond and Phospy to do the hay collecting, while Topaz follows her through the door.
>>111765I may as well declare that I've got detect magic, aurasight, and arcane sight on constantly, on the lookout for any trace of evil/magic.
>>111767Nothing, the wagon was simply parked at the back of the tavern with a pile of hay next to it.
>>111770She enters into a small cozy room, a fireplace on one wall and a bar with a door that leads to what seems to be a kitchen on the other. Tables and chairs are across the room as Cookie heads up a staircase in one corner of the room.
"Make yourselves at home!"
>>111772Nope, just a cozy tavern for now.
>>111710Candy yawns as she wakes up from a well deserved nap
>>111726>Hevosenmat[
close to home/s]
[1d20+37 = 48]
Meta knowledge check: does everfree forest exist yet, and did it exist 700 years ago? I kind of made it my primary motivation to go there.
>>111774Cowe deposits the hay,... wherever its supposed to go (the barn I assume?) and enters the tavern,... her eyes darting once or twice at the bar, but saying nothing.
>>111774Sister Ash, seems vaguely uncomfortable with accepting such hospitality. She sort of just hangs in the doorway.
"... I could have sworn this was all woods last time I was here... Hmmm, I guess things really have changed..."
>>111774Topaz nods, smiling at the picturesque decor.
"It looks rather quaint. Reminds me of my father. Are we the first visitors in a while?"
>>111778Inside works.
>>111776No everfree forest to speak of.
>>111782"No, we actually had a few ponies come through recently and the current guest is out right now. How about you ponies? What brings you poofing into my wagon?"
She walks down the stares with a smile on her face.
>>111784>No everfreeHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>111784>>111782>>111781"Whats Going on here!? Where am i?"
Candy shouts in Draconic
>>11178510,000 years before the Alicorn Rule. Not 700.
>>111789"What?!"
Cookie jumps back in shock.
>>111784Topaz ponders on what to say for a bit.
"Well... you could say we had a magical encounter of the highest level to get here," he tentatively says, with a sheepish smile.
(I don't think telling her now is a good idea.)
>>111789>>111790Topaz looks at the pony in question dumbfoundedly.
(So much for subtlety.)
>>111793"We did not choose to appear, we were appeared by another entity."
>>111794>>111793"Oh dear, well if you'd like to rest and gather your wits here for a while feel free."
>>111790>>111793"Wheres that Dragon Bastard?? He turned me into a bucking umbrella,separated me from my stuff and called me a whore."
>>111796"Again I thank you. Your generosity will be repaid in full." In quieter tones "May I look to the bar?"
>>111794Topaz nods.
"Yes, we did."
>>111797At this, she facehoofs.
>>111796With a tired smile, he bows curtly.
"Thank you for your hospitality Dough, if you need anything from us, simply ask, for we are indebted with you."
[1d20+38 = 41]>>111784>What brings you poofing into my wagon?At the question, Sister Ash puffs out her chest slightly, and manifests her planar bubble. The effect causes a slight halo of light to shine off of her; the minor positive energy dominance causes colors to seem more vibrant around her, and grants fast healing to all creatures within a 10 foot radius of her. Her golden reef glistens slightly in the light.
"I am Sister Ash, the Shepherd of The Blessed Fields. I sought to journey to this land on a pilgrimage for my circle..." She declares "..However, it seems as though I ran into a detour somewhere along the way."
Rolling Diplomacy
>>111790I said 700 because that's how long it'd been since she'd been here. She's very old. >>111798"Of course, make yourself at home."
>>111797Cookie blushes at these words.
>>111800"Oh! Well thank you, that's very kind."
>>111801"Oh... Well... Um..."
She looks lost for words as the sight captivates her.
>>111803She smiles at her.
"Don't mention it. I'm glad to help some-"
But she's distracted by the sight of Ash.
>>111801Her eyes sparkle
"Ooo~ Shiny."
(Topaz would have jumped her by now. Good thing he's busy.)
>>111801>>111803Cowe retrieves a bottle of spirits and turns just as Ashe is making her proclamation. "An impressive display."
[1d20+37 = 51]
Yertle, meanwhile, is slowly circling the town, giving Sister Ash telepathic feedback about the surrounding area.
Rolling knowledge (nature) to see if they notice anything interesting and/or out of the ordinary.
>>111803*glowing stops*
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Dough. If you are ever in need, do not hesitate to ask."
>>111816Topaz snaps back to reality.
"Wow. My brand of magic can't ever reach that level at all."
She can't help but slowly stretch a hoof to poke the previously glowing mane.
"Can I... touch it?"
>>111820"..If you wish.." the kirin replies
>>111812Besides the pink clouds and some literal rats with wings, nothing too strange yet.
>>111816"T-thank you"
I'm assuming the part as a lot to talk about and plan as Cookie heads into the kitchen.
>>111820Cowe glances at Diamond with a "Is this Stallion for real?" expression before shrugging, taking a seat, placing the bottle and a glass on the table, and pouring a drink. Then saying to Topaz: "You said you have a rough idea where those places the strange crystals were sent to. Could you elaborate?"
>>111825>Pink clouds"Oh not again..." Sister Ash groans
"If you'll excuse me... I have a some duties to attend to.." she says, stepping outside
Sister Ash goes outside to cast Control Weather to get rid of the Chaotic weather. It takes 10 minutes to cast, so she'll be out for a bit.
>>111826Topaz is a mare.
>>111829If you'd like, your character could enter the tavern.
>>111827Noted
>>111823Seeing how apprehensive Ash is currently at her question, she quickly retracts it.
"Sorry! I got too into the glow. Forget I ever said anything."
She shakes her head, looking at Sonata.
>>111826Diamond is outside doing hay-related stuff with Phospy.
"Yes. I could see what realms there were located."
She clears her throat.
"The orange one is in the dragon lands, Blue is on the plane of cold, the red is at a mountain range, pink is the plane of shadows, purple is at the "dread league", and the large pink the plane of fire."
She uses her big brain and lore knowledge to guess how far each gem could be in relation to her position.
>>111835My bad, and nevermind about Diamond
Alright, Sister Ash spends her control weather slot to fix the weather, and more importantly, keep it calm for the time being.
She then uses her Tulani Wild Shape to turn into a ball of light and zap any unnatural creatures with Empowered Chain lightning, racing across the sky as a ball of light.
After she's done with that, she uses her Detect Manifest Zone ability to look for any rifts to the plane of Chaos.
>>111835It's unknown how far away the red gem would be, but orange is definitely closer than purple. Blue, pink, and big pink would require planar travel though.
I don't have a set order, you guys can do whatever you want first. Just pls decide tonight.>>111846Nope, no portals.
>>111848The pink clouds that rained chocolate.
Making sure the weather doesn't do spooky stuff like that is kind of her job.
>>111835"I am sufficiently skilled and equipped to survive in all but the plane of cold" Cowe says, sipping some fine scotch
authenticity ^_~ >>111849>>111850>>111851>>111797>>111759Topaz nods, taking this matter seriously.
"Alright. Closest one to us should be the orange one, in the dragon lands, so we should start fetching them from there. Anyone against it?"
>>111852She's a Druid. Weather is her thing.
Besides, she can do in 10 minutes what takes a hundred pegasi a whole week to pull off Xp
>>111854Sister Ash returns, a bit later, covered in sweat.
"... Okay... That's taken care of..."
>>111854"I assume that none but us are witness, so it would fall on us to address this. Unless somepony has allies to whom we can appeal."
>>111832I don't know. It would be fun to do so but I feel it would be shortsighted on my part. I still don't got a sheet and even if I know pretty much what I would put on it, I don't know if I can make it in time for the next session. I also have other things that will take priority over this.
I really shouldn't.
But you know what I will try. I will try to get together a sheet for my chracter till next weekend. Can you if I haven't ffinished my sheet by then, remove my chracter out of the story without any problem? Then I will join now.
>>111859Sure, that's fine. I'm glad to see you give it a try.
>>111854Sister Ash listens to this.
"If you'll give me a day to prepare, I could scry and teleport each of those objects in a matter of hours."
>>111857She ponders for a bit.
"Perhaps I could use Phospy to help us traverse there, but he is more of a water lover. Maybe my followers followed us here, too. Maybe."
>>111863She cocks her head.
"If the biped fellow got his arm turned into dust, then that thing is magic sensitive. I fear it may cause unintended consequences."
>>111860Okay, thanks.
Was my character present at Discord's creation?
>>111865"I concur. Such a beast would not so readily deposit such items if they could be whisked to and away with."
>>111866>>111867No, but you character can enter the tavern having noticed things going weird and ask questions.
>>111863e_e
>>111865"I won't know until i see it, will I?"
Sister Ash gives up her Animal Shapes spell to cast Discern location on the gem in the dragonlands.
>>111854"What ever gets that dragon's head on a pike the fastest."
>>111872She shrugs.
"If you plan to bring it here, at least do it out of the tavern on a remote place. We do not want risking blowing it up or anything like that."
And, you know, cheesing the whole campaign. >>111873Don't worry, we can work you in whenever you're ready
>>111877Thanks. I on it right now btw
>>111874She nods, a bit perturbed.
"...sure."
(That is quite excessive.)
>>111878Wait, you didn't realize the whole thing was to travel there, deal with the issue the dragons have as a side objective, then take the gem, repeated in the different locations given? >>111882"No pony messes with my things like he did."
The normally happy and bubbly unicorn is fuming.
>>111884Topaz decides not to delve into personal matters of this scale, backing away one step back and smiling nervously.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up."
>>111885You do know one of them instantly took out one of Discord's arms and turned it into dust, right?"We sure can rest here if needed, but we are dealing with troubles of great magnitude. The sooner we move the better."
Okay, to avoid derailing the campaign with shenanigans...
"Why don't we rest for the day? I'm sure you must all be tired after what you've been through."
>>111889I was going to jut spellcraft it to see what it did.>>111890"I do not require rest." Cowe says, barely stifling a giggle, her cheeks beginning to flush. She takes another drink.
>>111890Phospy seemed to detect an epic spell of some kind, mainly designed to turn anything chaotic into dust, I assume.Topaz looks at Ash with concern.
"I think I am fine to travel, but you and your turtle expended your energy with your barrage. Perhaps we should stay for the day and we go to the Dragon Lands as soon as we're able."
>>111889Candy looks at topaz with a realization that yet another pony doesn't understand her, and the realization that she may be dammed to a hell with nopony that will ever be able to understand.
For the first time she looks sad.
>>111894Topaz, knowing she can't help somepony in this state, sends a quick signal.
Suddenly, Diamond enters the room, going for Candy, he bows curtly, the presents his front shoulder for any sort of related crying activities.
>>111893"I am ready to depart when you are. I did wish to get a few hours of charity in though." She says, as she leaves into town
>>111898Candy shakes diamonds hoof
Claw?"Hello, my names Candy Swirl."
>>111894Does Candy ONLY speak draconic?
>>111903No she speaks a few languages including common.
Sister Ash walks into the town square and gives up a few 6th level spells (move earth; primal speed, fey ring, mudslide, find the path) to cast Heroes Feast, using Divine metamagic to apply persistent spell on to it as well. With Reserves of Strength, she increases her caster level to 28. Her Words Of Creation automatically Extends the duration to 48 hours. She does this a total of five times times, using her prepared uses of Bone Talisman for mores uses of Turn Undead. The total prepares a meal for 140 ponies (all vegetarian, of course), complete with ornate tables and chairs.
"Please don't rush now. Children sit first."
>>111902Not activated. Don't worry.Diamond stares at the current hoofshake with the same stoic expression, blinking once.
He then look at Topaz and presents his shoulder once again, shaking it with maintaining eye contact.
(Oh come on. Weren't you going to cry?) Topaz thinks to herself.
>>111901She nods, only to realize Ash skedaddled immediately.
"Good lu- Oh, she left."
>>111898kek
>>111904Then why is she butthurt about not being understood if she can speak ponish?
Out from the woods emerges a figure. By the way it moves and its proportions one can tell that its a pony and female. One would not be sure if it was a thine mare or rather large filly however. One can't determine these things because her body is completely concealed in cloth.
She wears a plain black cloak with but a hoodie that has longer hems then necessary and the hems of the cloak. When she walks she tramples on her own hems.
She doesn't walk though it is more like sneaks through the woods; takinga one careful slow step after the another. Due to the claok's hems being so long her front hooves steps on them constantly.
Her mussle is covered by a silver scarf. One wouldn't see the rest of her face either if the hem off her hood if she hand't been a unicorn. Her horn protrudes out and hold the hood's hems from falling over her forehead reaveling her short unkempt bangs of hair the lies flat against it. A few of the bangs cover one eye. The only visible features of her face is that one undiguised red eye and the zink colored fur around it.
That eye is currrently aimed at sister Ash and so it this mare's route. But her eyes also from time to time shifts its focus to the other creatures in the group. She makes sure to moves so that she allways has all of the infront of her. She even goes on bit of a detour just to make sure that all creatures are infront of her and non our on her sides and absolutely not behind her.
Ash and probably the most of ther others notice her approach towards them. Because you know your all epic level. What do you do? And at what distacne do you see her?
>>111907>skedaddledGotta get those charity hours in.
On the bright side, free feast for the whole town.
>>111871140 is about the size of ponyville, right?
>>111913Fun for him. So I assume that he communicates this to Ash then or maybe not.
>>111918I don't know if he find this important enough to report.
>>111909A nun greets you before a bunch of tables and chairs lined with hot food.
"Good evening, Sister. Please, sit down."
>>111913Poners don't need meat, fgt
>>111907"I Have no idea where we are or whats going on."
She sighs
"I just know i was an umbrella a few minutes ago, what was that thing any way? it didn't look like any Dragon I've ever seen."
>>111908She's butthurt about not being understood in the metaphorical sense.
>>111909Phospy, currently hauling hay, simply looks at the pony, then hisses at her, signalling her presence to Topaz.
"Oh! Seems somepony arrived here," Topaz announces, followed by going outside. "Be ready to move out to the dragon lands soon."
Is GM techincally lurking? >>111923Diamond pats her head some times, trying his best to reassure her it's all alright with the same stoic expression.
>>111924I'd guess he's letting us make up our goddamn minds.
Cowe drains the last of her glass (a -1 modifier, I'd wager). "Alright. Are we in agreement then?"
>>111922He would have immediately been able to tell she was a Spellcaster, but wouldn't have done anything to intercept her.
>>111906The ponies happily feast.
>>111924Kinda
>>111909Nice.
>>111926Our minds have been made up. This is only some time to wind down after the whole ordeal. As soon as everyone's ready, we go for the Dragon Lands.
Diamond nods at Sonata, relaying the message.
>>111925She smiles at the petting
"Thank you,Whats your name?"
she asks to the dragon petting her
She looks over at topaz
"Can you help fill me in on the situation other than that dragon-thing sending crystals into different dimensions?"
>>111921The mare has moved into a position such that she has nonone at her side, at least what she knows, and everyone in fornt of her. And she is very keen on keeping it that way.
The mare is only a few feets away from Ash now. Ash is being intently stared at by her. It might be a bit unerving since her facial expressions are hidden so it is hard to read her emotions or her intent. However, if one is preceptive enough one can see that her eye trembles a bit and one can also notice that she has a very low posture almost like she is ready for flight of fight.
"The pink clouds... You removed them." She says.
>>111935Cherry walks up to Candy and listens in.
>>111932Sister Ash seems almost giddy as she watches them eat.
"Ah, it's been so long since I've been on charity service. I'd forgotten how good it feels.."
>>111937>clouds".. Why yes.." she says with a slight nod "There's nothing to be worried about now, sister. I welcome you to sit down."
She levitates a piece of cake towards the unicorn
"There's no need to be shy. It's for charity." She says with a smile
>>111924At the mometn of the dragon's hissing, the mare jumps back a bit. After a moments hesitation and looking at the dragon she continued towards Ash.
This happened before this post
>>111937 >>111945>>111935Wrong. Earth Poner is petting Candy.
Sadly, he remains silent.
Topaz, after checking the door and finding nothing, returns back.
"Seems the visitor only passed through."
She looks at Candy, currently being patted.
"Not much else, I'm afraid. He seems to be a deity who likes spread 'chaos'."
>>111946Sister Ash can be seen through the doorway conjuring a bunch of tables and drawing a crowd of ponies.
>>111950Noted. Will go there in a bit.
>>111943The mare grabs the plate with cake in her magic. It is surrouned by a white transparent aura as it s floats in the air.
The mare's visible eye look down on the piece of cake and then bakc up again.
She levitates the plate back to Ash.
"I'll eat..." there is small break as if unsure if she should really say this. "You eat first."
She turns her face away.
>>111945The nun reaches a hoof out towards the startled mare.
"Please, sit down. There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't mind that dragon over there; he's just a bit grumpy."
>>111946She says with a skeptical tone in her voice
"A Deity? No i don't think so. he was merely a very strong sorcerer."
>>111941"Hello. who are you, Didn't i see you try to help some ponies before we got turned into beach supplies?"
>>111953>700 years of fasting>"You eat first.">Every pony is watching>Don't want to look like I've poisoned the town[REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs internally]
>>111955"I was. I'm Cherry Cordial. And who are you?"
She smiles politely.
>>111954>>111958Phospy stares daggers at Ash as he pretends to eat some grass. However, Topaz orders her dragon to walk to that table and take a bite, just to show the food is harmless, making his mouth water. He scans the table for any fish, forgetting about the whole 'Ash is mean' outlook.
>>111955She shrugs.
"He is one strong sorcerer, then. I never heard anypony who can incase every single pony in invisible cages
then using metamorphosis."
>>111954You hear a high-pitched voice gasp coming from the mare as you reach out your hoof towards her. She jumps back and loses control of the plate. The crashes into the ground and shatters.
The mare in question looks at the plate and draws in whezeeing breath as her eye twitch at the sight. She immediately looks up at Ash's face for any signs of retaliation.
>>111958>>111953The nun's eye twitches slightly.
"..S-sure.." she stutters "..I guess there's no harm in indulging every once in a while..."
The levitates a piece of bread off of the table and bites into it
[NOM]
>>111958Yeah, now when you mention it. That was on your sheet. Hehehe, oops! XD
>>111963The mare looks at the nun as she bites into the bread. She then looks at the many sharp pieces of the previous plate and the broken cake.
"I'm sorry." She says without looking up
>>111965Don't worry, she'll use her breath weapon to turn it to Ash in her mouth. That way it doesn't count Xp.Sister Ash uses Miracle to conjure a 25000 gp pile of Topaz gems for the dragon.
>>111973*Using up her Shadow Landscape slot
>>111960"My Name is Candy Swirl."
She smiles back at her
"What do you think that dragon thing was?"
>>111961"If he wasn't such a Bad Creature i might be impressed."
>>111972"Oh, it's no problem. It's just a conjured plate. It'll be gone in a few hours anyway." The nun says, sweeping the shards out of the way
"Please, sit down."
>>111975"Nothing good. I can't believe it hurt all those ponies."
>>111973Phospy's eyes light up further, immediately rushing the gem pile and munching on the gems contentedly.
(Seems Ash did not want him eating the food. Perhaps she has this under control.)
>>111975Topaz nods.
"We are indeed facing something strong and unruly that needs to be stopped."
Diamond pats Candy some more.
"Alright, Diamond. Ease up there."
>>111973She looks at the conjuration of gems that Ash does.
>>111977She also watched the sister sweep away the shards.
>"Please, sit down."She is almost startled by this as she was captivated by the magic feat of conjuring those gems.
She looks at Ash.
"Why are there pink clouds here?"
>>111983>clouds"It seems as though someone around here has been causing some trouble with the weather..." She says, her brow growing dark momentarily
"But, I've taken care of it, for now at least."
*Points to chair*
"Sit."
>>111978"I Agree. no Good Creature would separate somepony from her items."
>>111979"Which crystal do you think we should get first? you suggested the Orange one right?"
"It's Quite alright."
She has a smile on her face, Her leg starts to kick involuntarily
>>111987The mare looks at the chair for a moment and the the way she come from before meeting Ash's firm gaze? Her gaze anyway. She decided to comply with the request or command.
She goes up to the chair that is on the end of the table but Ash notices that just before she sits down, she quickly bends down to check so there isn't anything underneath the chair.
[1d20+20 = 22]>>111996Sister Ash loses her patience and telekinetically picks up snd plops the mare onto the ornate, comfy seat.
Grapple.
"Please. I insist."
>>111991Topaz nods, chuckling knowingly.
"Yes. That is it. Prepare for the elements."
Diamond only pats further for her encouragement.
"I am going to see how is Ash doing, accompany me if you want to or you can stay with Diamond."
>>111990Topaz can be seen exiting the tavern into the whole charity event.
"Huh. That was rather quick."
>>111999Sister Ash greets her with a bow.
"I do what I can."
She points to a chair
"You're welcome to join."
>>112000Topaz smiles.
"Why thank you."
She takes an appropriate seat.
"How's it going?"
>>111999"I'll Come with you. but Diamond can come too right?"
She follows Topaz towards ash
>>111978"Coming Cherry?"
>>111993"Hey,you're that terrorist from earlier"
>>112003This question does not need answering as Diamond simply follows her along next to her.
In case we get the into combat before the end of the night, not that your characters have been buffed with:
>1d8+10 temporary HP
>Immunity To Fear
>Immunity to poison
>+1 morale bonus to attack rolls and will saves.
These affects last for 48 hours, assuming you all spend an hour eating.
>>111998She flails with her hooves in the air as she is picked up. It only makes the excessive long hems wave and twist in on themselves.
At the moment she is seated she moved her hooves to ther armrest ready to push herself out of the chair. But she notices before that that there is nothing wrong with the chair.
She throws a look of surprize towards Ash.
>>112003>Terrorist"I don't know what you mean."
>>112005Candy pets him
>>112009"I Heard when we were in the other dimension, that some religious nuts were running around terrorizing ponies. you aren't with them?"
>>112011"I'm Glad you tried to save those ponies cherry. you did a Good thing."
>>112012Do you want to skip to the dragonlands?
The mare looks over to the dragon munching on gems, she then looks at the plate infront of her and then drags her eye over the whole table.
She looks at Ash as she point with her cloth covered hoof at the dragon.
"How can he eat illusions?"
>>112017>>112018Just checking. Its been an hour since last post, and I know perfectly well how easy it is to accidentally fall asleep during a session
>>112015"Well, thanks, but it is nothing special to help ponies in need."
>>112018I was planning on doing that quest next week since you all apparently decided on that.
I expected y'all to talk and plan more. >>112023Can I scry there to see what it looks like?
>>112015His ears flop down to accomodate her hoof, still looking stoic.
>>112019Phospy lazily looks at her then keeps munching.
>>112023Planning comes when we actually see the variables. Dragons are quite varied and we need to see what we're dealing with.
>>112025Topaz starts to eat the food in a polite fashion if possible.
