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.

>>112171"No!" she doesn't really shout but since everything she says is murmur otherwise it seems that way. "Please, don't" She flails her hooves infront of her in an abortive motion.
"It just thought it was odd to see a dragon with a pony. That's all."
She takes another bite of bread before continuing. You hear her as she mumbles hher thoughts uner her breath. It wasclearly not intended for you to hear since she just voiced her thought to herself unbeknownst to herself but you did.
"She most be powerful to a have a dragon as a companion."
>>112169/e_e\\
"Don't pet the cowe." she says.
>>112176> You hear her as she mumbles hher thoughts uner her breath. It wasclearly not intended for you to hear since she just voiced her thought to herself unbeknownst to herself but you did.>So messySigh. Do you understand what it says or must I clearify.
>>112176She peers closer to her, clearly concerned, but has a little smile.
"Phospy isn't a bad dragon. He's a nice one. Look."
She whistles Phospy, whom in response, scrambles into a salute.
"Do a barrel roll!"
In response, Phospy does so, ending belly up, expecting some sort of reward, which she gives by telekinetically petting his exposed chest, eliciting a line of steam from his nostrils, clearly content.
She looks back at the unicorn mare.
"See? Completely tame dragon."
>>112179BTW no need to clarify. I understand she voices thoughts out loud sometimes
>>112181Her eyes go wide at the display. She is starting to think that something is off. Normally she would have been terrified by this mare who had turned a dragon into a pet but she wasn't.
Has she cast some form of charm on me? She wonders.
"How though? How can you-" She interupts herself as she glances at the dragon, leans in close to Topaz and whispers. "-controll a dragon?"
>>112169"Please excuse me, the bottle is yours now." Sonata says with a slight bow, wandering off into the surrounding forest.
>>112191"Goodbye My Friend. i'll see you later."
>>112191Don't you go splitting up now.>>112190>>112189Topaz chuckles.
"Oh don't worry about subtlety, Phospy can hear it."
She downgrades her smile into a sheepish one.
"I simply... ask him to do stuff. I can't quite say what's causing him to be so compelled to listen to me. I guess it is because of my charm."
>>112199"Oh."
She takes a quick peek at the dragon.
Is that true? Why would a dragon find a pony charming?She looks back at Topaz before returning tp consuming her bread in silence.
Well, she is very pretty. But I thought dragons only cared for crystals, treasure, and gemstones. But I guess it is possible that she reminds him of gems or something.
Wait, did she say "my charm"? Was she saying she put a spell on him?
Is that why I am so calm when I look at her? Has she put a spell on me?
Regardless, if I want to escape her, I must do it later when the dragon isn't present.
Then, again the dragon doesn't seem to be in pain so maybe it souldn't be to bad... No, what am I thinking? What have you done to me?A momentary glare flashes by on the mares face before it becomes calm again.
Well, I came here for information so I will get it and get out. I will ssimply play along.She turns to Topaz again.
"I realise I haven't introduced myself. I am Reality Phobia. Who are you?"
>>112209I don't know if I went overbaord with this one.
>>112209Topaz smiles.
"I'm Topaz Tower. Nice to meet you Reality. The dragon is Phosphorus."
He lazily waves, suddenly without much worry.
Topaz points at the Earth Pony eating without emotion, only stoicism.
"And that is Diamond Hoof."
However in
her mind, she's plotting herself.
(Alright. I have broken that outer exterior full of concrete with the dragon. Now to sneak in the friendship roots!)
"Want to take a closer look at the dragon? I saw you looking at it. Don't worry, it won't bite."
>>112212> it won't biteNo, it would probably swallow me whole.Reality looks at the residue on Topaz's plate and gether the same things she had on her plate aswell since one cannot only live on bread. She is also hungry so.
She stand up from her chair and lifts the plate of food and fork and a knifein her magic aura.
"Okay, but what is that you want to show?" she stutters out. She looks at the dragon as a crease appears between her eyebrows and her lips thines out; she looksat it sceptically.
>>112212Woah, what a nice schemeXD
>>112219Iron glances at the taking of her residue.
(Hm. She still seems to be acting cautious.)
"I want to show her how serene he is."
Looking at Topaz, he's basically posing as if he was sunbathing, without a care in the world.
Diamond stands up from his plate, carefully cleaning himself with the proper napkin, then walks to the dragon.
He pokes the dragon's snout, making him open the mouth, in which the Earth Pony puts the whole foreleg, even to the point of stroking its teeth slightly.
"See? He's not afriad he'll bite. Why should you?"
>>112220She has big brain.
>>112222*to show you how serene he is."
>>112222**Topaz glances at the taking of her residue.
>>112227Hehe, I probably have a lot to. They appear when you wrrite so much on short time I think.
>>112222(Who is Iron?)
>>112222"I-I-I... Guess?I don't know. I don't really feel comfortable with being near it. What do you want me to do anyway?"
>>112238Topaz smiles through her concern.
"Well, you could say that is how I managed to get myself a dragon. By not being scared of it."
Diamond is currently patting Phospy.
She looks at you for a moment and then back at the dragon.
Then she put her plate down on the table.
"I'll pet it if you come with."
>>112247Ah, I see. Arganon is a two timing bastard.XD
>>112246Topaz smiles ever further.
"Great! Follow me."
She stands up, beckoning Reality to follow while Diamond went back to sitting and eating again.
Phospy looks at Topaz and Reality from his belly up perspective, surprised, but does not move a muscle as his master ordered.
The dragon awaits its pats.>>112248>>112247I is guilty
Sed tiem.
>>112252Reality meets the gaze of the dragon for a short moment. She look at it t osee if he truly is okay with this. He doesn't indicate that he isn't so she continues forth.
She reaches out her hoof and starts to stoke scales in the direction the they go in.
How does it feel to pet Topaz's dragon?
Candy gets black out drunk
>>112259Topaz exhales contently.
The feeling of scales on hoof can be considered rocky at this stage, like stroking along a smooth rock road. The heat is a little bit lower to other dragons and Reality could even swear she felt water inbetween the scales at times. Sometimes, he could feel his big heart palpitating through her hoof, clearly showing his young adulthood.
This only makes Phospy throw out a thin line of steam for her efforts.
Topaz, meanwhile, knows she's close to hooking her into the friendship.
"See? Look at how docile and happy he is."
>>112260Is this your way of saying that you are done for this session?
>>112261Reality smiles. Petting the dragon was more fun and intresing then she thought. But then her smiles falters and she stops petting him.
Why is she so nice to me? She turns towards Topaz.
"Topaz. Why did you let me pet him?"
>>112262Yea its getting kind of late.
>>112263True. Is the GM still even present?
>>112261Should we also call it a day?
>>112265I have half the day left.
>>112262Topaz simply smiles
"You seemed interested in him and you were quite down when you came here."
>>112266Sure thing.
>4:10 AM hereHave a good night and I hope I've given you a good taste of D&D.
>>112269>I hope I've given you a good taste of D&D.It was great.
I have had a blast. It has been so fun.
>>112269If she has any ulterior motive she is good at hidding it. However, maybe she actually means it.She didn't know what to think about the unicorn.
Reality shakes her head and give you the warmest smile she had given anyone this evening.
"Thanks. That was sweet of you."
[1d20+18 = 32]>>112177Rolling profession (masseuse) to pet cowe.
[1d20+75 = 89]
In the time before the next session, I'd like to predict the weather. Just doing this for spell prep.
Rolling Survival, discharge Moment Of Prescience for a +28 insight bonus. Survival predicts the weather for one day, plus an additional day for each 5 points by which the check exceeds 15.
>>112281If you really want to touch the cowe, I'll entertain that process, but its more complicated than just rolling a dice. The bedroll she had strapped to her is a Personal Oasis so,....
>>112286Huh?
I mean, Diamond can probably do it with his unwavering stoic personality. Probably would do backflips, too.
[1d20+26 = 40]>>112286Rolling to touch the cowe.
>>112287See
>>112276If one were to attempt to touch the cowe, they would find that there's a 5'x10' tent just outside town, with a campfire that doesn't go out.
I'll give you three guesses what's gonna happen if someone attempts to enter the cowe's tent unannounced.
