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.

>>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.
