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.

>>114103Biggest oof to you friend>>114102.....
Most of the dragons snort in response, some flying off and others continuing whatever they were doing before
>>114104Oh, duh
CRACK CRACKThey're there, if not a bit singed and disoriented
>>114101>>114105"We should be just above the crystal, if it still exists..." Sister says
"It may be underground."
Sister Ash levitates over to the nearest dragons and attempts to ask for directions, describing the white dragon she saw.
>>114106Cowe is focused on observing the dragons, looking for any that might appear to be a threat
>>114106>>114107Topaz looks in awe at Ash's initiative.
(How many times did she have to deal with these scaled folk? She seems like an expert.)
Phospy is trying hard not to panic at the danger around and Diamond simply looks disinterested, breathing deeply to try and reorient himself.
>>114109She said before that this place is close to her people's homeland.
>>114107You mean the one she just barely saw the tail of?
Gimme a diplomacy check.
>>114108None of them look openly hostile...
yet >>114111Oh whoops.
The fact went over her head.
>>114112>>114113Phospy is clearly uncomfortable being here around so many dragons, tugging at the unicorn.
"Come on, Phospy," she whispers to him, patting his big head. "You can do it. Do it for me."
These words obviously strengthens the dragon's resolve.
"That's the spirit! Come on, let's follow Ash."
She and Diamond hop on Phospy, which start flying over to Ash and the currently being interrogated dragon.
>>114113>>114114*Shines scales*
*puffs out fluff*
*removes mistletoe from mane*
"Excuse me, have you seen a colossal white dragon anywhere around these parts?"
>>114115Cowe flies in a relatively up, back, and defensive (respective to the group's) position.
>>114113>>114115>>114116A very large red dragon replies in draconic
"Listen do you know how many white dragons there are around here? More than I could count. Good luck finding one specific one. Now, go before my friends decide ponies are on the menu?"
Yertle is just following sister at a distance like he usually does. He watches closely, lest the mare get herself killed.
>>114118"I mean a
really big white dragon. An old one too, judging by the power i saw."
>>114120"Once again, I can name a dozen. Now scram before
I decide you're on the menu."
>>114120"He should have been right here 10 minutes ago... I guess I'll have to scry on him again..."
>>114122"Surely you know of one who has been gloating about a magnificent gem they may have stumbled across in the last day or so?"
>>114122>>114123Topaz is rather taken aback by the dragon's demeanor.
(Are all dragons just like Phospy? Sheesh.)
Sister first casts Lay Of The Land, to find any and all significant landmarks within a 50 mile radius.
>You cast this spell and are surrounded with a nimbus of green light. In your mind, a map unfolds of the surrounding area, showing the cities, hamlets, and known ruins as if penned by a cartographer. The light fades but the knowledge of the map remains.
[1d20+58 = 78]
Oh, and while we're here, rolling Spot to see any ancient white dragons on the horizon, in case said dragon was here moments ago.
>>114127Here's hoping that wasn't a waste
>>114128Skill checks don't crit, but if he's anywhere on the horizon or in the sky, i would've seen him.
>>114129Gee, tell me more about basic game mechanics, cuz I've never experienced them before.
>>114124"Well if he's as old as you say, he'd know gloating a new treasure would be a great way to put him on a hit list. But please, by all means let me know if you find this gem."
Flames lick from the dragons mouth, and he looks irritated.
>>114126A number of cave entrances and lairs stand out to Ash, along with some lava pools that seem popular with the young dragons.
>>114127Although not quite what Ash was gazing for, she does see what appears to be a sparkle at the top of one of the mountains, marked as a lair on her mental map.
>>114131"Thank you ancient one, we shall do so indeed." She says, with a slight bow of respect.
>>114132>>114131Topaz quickly bows along with her.
[1d20+57 = 65]>>114131>lairSister Ash blazes in frustration momentarily as she realizes the teleportation spell that was supposed to drop her right on top of her target has instead dropped her half a mile away.
"It's that way. Follow me." she says with a groaning conviction
Rolling Survival to arrive trek there safely
>>114134>>114131Topaz does as instructed by Ash, giving a quick way to the red dragon.
"Another faulty teleport... That's the second time this week.. and this century..." She mutters as she clambers onto yertle's levitating back
>>114134Cowe flies off in pursuit, from a flanking defensive position respective to the party (meaning, anyone not on the ground who attacks would have to go through her first)
Sister Also uses Invisibility on the whole party for the trip, because why not?
>>114138Useful. I was about to mention that Cowe is glowing cuz of the mask
>>114139What item is that? You might still glow while invisible, depending on what spell it is.
>glances from watch>to phone clock>to grandfather clock>to computer clock>to big ben>to nuclear clockreeeee where are the other two?
>>114140Veto'd invisibility overrules the glow
>>114141>>114134Did my check get us there safely?
Well, obviously the survival check succeeded.
The only question vis if there was anything to avoid along the way.
>>114143Are you gonna give him a chance to respond, or are you gonna keep posting with more?
>>114144I would like to post more, yeah.
It seems as though we're having wifi troubles.
I may as well designate a Word Of Recall, so that we can all gtfo if shit hits the fan.
How about i designate the sanctuary as ye old ponyville?
>>114147Do you want to be teleported when Sister says the safe word or do you not?
I'm just checking to see if who wants to be included.
>>114148I want you to stop steamrolling and let the game progress as the GM intends
>>114149What do you mean steamrolling?
>>114150I'll explain later. STFU and let GM decide what is happening.
>>114151I'm not doing anything. I'm planning.
TIL Psions get Contingency.
Badass. Nothing can kill a contingent-caster.
Sister Ash seems almost ecstatic as her eyes gaze across the rugged hellscape of the dragonlands
"It's been so long.. It's as beautiful as ever." She says, levitating across pools of lava
