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.
994 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."

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.
