The Baltimare group proceeds in their task of investigating a strange group of creatures, mostly Griffins, who seem to be involved in creature smuggling. Up on the Boulderfield,-Whinnysota line, the northern group settles in for a cold night along with their new friends and prisoners.

If Midnight is ready, then sure.
Although I have no idea what to do with the prisoners. I do want them captured by Black Hooves members for questioning.
I'll try to take them out of the building at least.

Was getting booped part of the plan?
Not much. Just sent out the order for Iron to round up the prisoners to take the fun ride back to one of Black Hooves 'rehab centers' if possible, since we don't know the language and I'm hoping they can get something out of them.

Madlad!
I hope there's a Black Hooves agent to escort them off to. I fear a harder separation may happen if we go too far.
I honestly expect there to be at least a small Black Hooves outpost in the area to try and attract the pony stragglers in the neighborhood.

It looks like Spark has taken to that well. Spark stands in front of the changelings for a while, before eventually petting and hugging them. Spark has since left the room, gone out and fetched the pail and placed it over the fire, and is now standing near the fire. Onyx is a bit more reticent, going into the room but barely acknowledging the prisoners. He has since moved to the floor of the adjacent room and is lying next to the door.

I don't know about Iron carrying three griffins, but he can certainly drag that many if he has some way of doing that...
Where would he take them to? How is he even going to get out?

*Iron rubs the griffin’s feathers sensually for the full ‘it’s 1013’ progressive experience*
The griffin is heavy. Very heavy. Not so heavy that Iron could not carry him - Iron feels he could, and in fact could probably carry slightly more - but certainly heavy enough that Iron’s really not getting by with three of them

Iron huffs, taking the fully unconscious griffon's weight on his bare back.
"These birds are heavy."
He then uses the power of his mouth and knowledge of catbird anatomy to carefully place the tips of their tails next to eachother, being sure to keep them the fully conscious griff's tail stuck with a hoof to avoid being dodged, and then gently not to cause damage but firmly grabs them with his mouth.

With Iron’s powerful mouth and love of griffin anatomy, he gets under the rails of these two drakes. Their tails are the bony ones of cats
Iron has two problems. First, that it’s difficult to bite hard enough to have traction without, well, biting clean through flesh and bone. The second one is that it isn’t clear that these tail have enough tactile strength to support these creature’s body weight. They might just rip right off

After carefully nibbling enough to assess the strength and endurance of griffon tail, he lets them out of his exploring mouth.
"Not going to work," he utters out loud.
He decides that there could be a way to tug the semi conscious and conscious griffons around by the scruffs, fueling his sudden desire to place their heads next to eachother from the back.

Perhaps I should clarify.
I as a player am waiting for the Ling group to continue the venture. Brie as a character is waiting for the group to take care of whatever needs (rest, food, healing, etc.) they have, so they can continue the journey.
Having said, there's no actions for me to declare.

True enough.
Alright, let's go cart searching.
Iron decides that dragging griffons along a staircase is a bad idea for near-dead prisoner recovery, shaking his head.
He lays the fully unconscious griffon to the ground next to the other two, then picks the conscious griffon up instead, then jots down 'find a cart' in his leaf of a mind.
He proceeds to explore the previously unexplored hallway to see if any doors may lead him to find a cart around here, beckoning Midnight to follow him.

This section seems almost like going back in time. It wouldn't make much sense for there to be a wheeled cart like what he saw earlier down here.
On the shelf is a box, a long knife with a sort of curved and bent blade and hardwood handle and some other details to it, a ceramic pot, a couple candles, several rags, and more than a few cleaning agents like bleach

Iron ponders curiously, but can't seem to grasp how important they are.
He does nab the knife for later inspection before he goes through the second doorway.

This is really hardly an exhaustive list, but the General Equestrian orthodoxy has:
A harmonists universalist strand sees harmony as a universal life essence, and Celestia as the utmost paragon of it (Catholicism-ish)
A permutation of the same with a few cultural changes practiced mostly in the North (orthodoxy parallel)
A more austere version of harmonism that greatly deemphasizes the princesses, practiced mostly on the east coast and in New Mareland (Calvinist parallel)
A version of Harmonism that worships the sun and is of questionable orthodoxy, practiced by natives (sort of like Central American Pentecostalism and their added rituals to Catholicism)
And a version of Harmonism that emphasizes Luna as the foremost paragon, alongside slightly different virtues, practiced mostly by batponies.
Griffins have their own pantheon with at least three deities and a church structure, the deer have their own pantheon and practices, the Eastern ponies and Changelings have distinct practices, and the ancient Equestrians had religions that are now extinct or hidden

Here is a point buy calculator

You can adjust your scores to make them work as such until you reach 29 points
Also, because your character is a wizard, she doesn’t need to have a religion as a part of her gameplay mechanics, although of course you can role play a religious character if you desire

What that means is, you can raise stats for 1 point each up until 13. From 14-16, its 2 points each, and beyond that is 3 points each.
Example, it costs 5 points to raise the base Int of a character to 13, and another 4 points to raise it to 15. So, to raise that Int stat to 15 would cost 9 points. Raising a stat to 18 (not including racial and other modifiers) costs 16 points. AFAIK, you're not allowed to lower stats to gain more points, unless GM allows it

Alright, let's take a look at this:
> When the changelings attacked, her father was killed and her mother and her was
taken prisoners in a hive. In the hive or somewhere on the way, she and her mother were raped by changelings. She and her mother were seperated later in the hive. She lived there for a couple of years until one day she got angery at the changelings and threw a fireball at them...
>The changling hive she was kept in, was a smaller one or whatever it was and it was built on inflammable ground or partially by such material so it caught fire. The whole thing burnt down and most of the changelings in this minor hive died or whatever. Rosy escaped during this and took away from this experince that it was her destiny to destory the changelings so she changed her name to something that she hoped changlings would come to fear.
>She was later found by a black hoof squad that were out on a mission. They had the mission of rescuing her father since he was great or maybe not regardless they see her potential or.... The point is she ends up in the Canterlot universitety as a student.
This is pretty good, as it provides a motivation for Rosy (to hate changelings), a missing loved one who could appear later (her mother), and some trauma that could cause emotional problems (the rape, hostage situation, and loss of mother). Now it's just about squaring it to the time line. The issues are that the most recent big changeling war was only six months to a year ago, and only started at most something like 2 years before (not the many years implied here). Second, the Blackhooves have never been at war against the Changelings. These are of course easily rectified. Perhaps the encounter with the changelings took place a little more than a year ago, when the Changelings invaded western Equestria. Or maybe this didn't happen in the Great War. It happened 10 years ago, when they first attacked Canterlot. Or it happened in some unnamed skirmish along the border when Rosy happened to be living there. The ponies that rescued them were Equestrian military who raided across the border. maybe special forces. Or maybe it was during the Great War, when a New Mareland group "peacefully" forced an exchange of hostages that freed Rosy.

To my understanding, you're allowed to play an exceptionally weak or other low stats, however the GM does have final say in the matter.
Additionally another thing for GM to rule on if necessary is that wizards as a class are scholarly, learned magic users, where as sorcerers are innate magic users. Technically therefore, a character cannot be a wizard without training and education, which would/could not have occurred while enslaved to Changelings. I mean, Fireball is a 3rd level spell, and not something (assumed) at the time 1st level magic user could accomplish,... however its also a compelling plot hook to establish the character by and is not technically impossible,... meh, forget I said anything

Technically therefore, a character cannot be a wizard without training and education, which would/could not have occurred while enslaved to Changelings. I mean, Fireball is a 3rd level spell, and not something (assumed) at the time 1st level magic user could accomplish,... however its also a compelling plot hook to establish the character by and is not technically impossible,... meh, forget I said anything

>dexterity score
I read that part about initiative but does it really matter? I won't likely start first anyway with a medium Dex score.
>Well, just a little less min maxing would be nice.
I guess it is min maxing but it is not like I play her for optimization since as you said low Dex but also I have want her to have hight Int since I want to play her as a prodigy in magic. But like, I can still increase the Str and Dex scores and still get Int 20 so if you want me to lower my Int tell me that then I will do so.
>>115132
I'm okay with that.

Well, change it to just a magic missfire that started a fire then. She later learns magic on the university. The point isn't that she learns magic there but that she finds "her destiny" there and that this is basically confirmed to her when she gets her cutie mark for it.
But the GM does have the final say in everything.

I say technically its possible later because there are a number of elements that might *allow* a fireball (though burning hands would make more sense) that with circumstantial bonuses and 1-2 really good dice rolls, it could actually happen. And since its back-story (and a decent one) I NOT Gm would say just go with it as is

Well, the dexterity thing maters because many of the magical spells (scorching ray, for example) require ranged touch attacks to hit, which are aided by higher dexterity and hindered by lower dexterity, and dexterity bonuses add to armor bonuses, which is useful when you can't wear proper armor. But I guess you can design her as you like. That should work

I got a sense for her personality. You will see it when I play her. I don't wanna expose more of her character than what has already been done I'm not trying to be passive-agressive here btw just don't want to also i want to show her personality rather than explain it.

Also, What did you think about the npc supervision part? Or like the rest of the backstory. Do you think it makes sense for New Mareland to act as they do in the backstory? And can you create supervisor npc that supervises my character? Or do you ahve a better idea?

Yeah, sleep well.

So I don't really feel like writting a big post explaining myself on why I disagree with your assessment. I will probably anyway.
But the reason this is in her backstory at all is what's important. She is a character who has a personal hatred for Changelings and wants to take back the lost lands of Euqstira and free ponies under changeling rule. However, I as a player wants to be part of the group and they are on the other side of the map. Therefore there must exist something that forces her to be there along side the rest of the group since she wants to be somewhere else.
So another idea for accomplish this would be to just simply have the military see that conflict is not happening in canterlot so they move her to a place where she can be useful.
>politically rebellious pony
I thnk you have misunderstood or I have been bad at explaining myself
Her opinion is this: Due to the black hooves attacking Equestria at the same time as the changelings, they caused Equestria to fall on their border against the changelings. Therefore it is their fault. However, that doesn't matter right now. What matters is to free the ponies under captivity and get back their lands. The ruling can be change afterwards.
If I were the leader of the black hooves and the one deciding what to do with a pony like this, I would keep her close but away from position of power in my organization. She is a useful reasource if anything as a fotsoldier. It is actually good that she has exposed herself. There is more to worry if someone who only pretends to be on your side is in your orgnisation be cause they go under the radar and can gain info and influence from within easier.
This works in my benfit in both ways. Since she has told us her opinion I can justify why she won't get to rise in the ranks and why her information is limited. To add to this, she is part of my organization and I am her superior. I can much better keep track of and have an insight into what she is doing because of this. I can even have her report or have other spy on her and report to me. Comaprre that to if she worked outside the system and created her own little orginization, then I would need to get infiltrate that or even learn about it first.
The other way this works in my favor is that she is actually woring for me. As in if she builds me a bridge than I have a bridge extra than I would have if she didn't.
And as her opinions go, like her focus is clearly not on overthrowing them.
Anyway, regardless of what you decide upon, what I want is for her to meet these conditions: I want her to be part of the group even though she wants to focus on the changelings.
If you can make that happen, I will be satisfied. If it is not possible, then I will have to deal with it somehow.
I don't wanna complain at you but like I would have prefered it if you put your answers in spoilers when discussing the details of the backstory. At this point it doesn't matter so I guess it is just a tip for the future.
>I can make a handler, but it probably won't be a spellcaster

Silver really does not get a great look at the entirety of the interior of the room, but this much is evident immediately: two guard creatures towards the end of the room, definite “cells” like that of a jail, and at least one creature in a cell, the most readily visible one being a gold-shaded Kirin in a cell on the far side left near the door
I’ll add more description later

At the moment they seem to be doing something involving a still different cell. They are speaking to each other in either a forgone language, or at a volume too low to be readily understood. The door at the far end is closed. There is another door over to the left past the Kirin holding cell
