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.

>>116478"So, it is true that they are foalnapping local ponies..." He looks over at Loputu. "Do you want out of here?"
>>116481“Yes” he says without hesitation
>>116479“ I do not know...”
>>116482Silver does not even wait for the queue to pull out his keys and start trying them in the cage door.
>>116484“..... No”
>>116483No, no, no, maybe? Let’s see if it fits.... No. No, no, no, Yes!
“Click”
>>116485He gladly opens the cage, and motions for Loputu to come out. "Come, little one. Let us get you back to your family."
>>116488He looks around from side to side, and slowly walks out, almost falling down when his rear left leg nearly collapsed under him. He comes out into the room
“Are you from the ghetto?” He asks the white mare towards the back of the room. She hesitates for a moment, but answers
“Yes, your parents sent me to find you”
He smiles and actually starts to wag his tail
>>116489"We take him with us. When we are finished here, one of us, probably me, will escort him back to his parents."
>>116490Silver turns to the otherwise silent griffin. "Who are you?"
>>116491"Yea but what about the danger of him being down here?"
>>116493"We do not have much choice in matter. He will have to stay back and let us handle it, if we come across any."
>>116492“Yo soy.... Volador Jubilosa”
>>116491>>116493“I can take you back, little one” says the unicorn mare standing behind Dark Star. Loputo walks past Silver towards her, limping slightly
“Are you with the elderly care? I’m trying to think of if I have seen you before”
“Yes, I am with the elderly care. I went out for an errand, and managed to find these ponies, who knew you were here”
>>116495"Hmm. Well, good to meet you, Jubilosa."
The colt's limping doesn't pass by Silver. "Hold up, little one. You are hurt. Let me take look."
>>116498Jubuliosa isn’t done with Silver
“Why am I here? What are you going to do with me?”
Loputo looks back to Silver
“Maybe a little...”
>>116497She smiles awkwardly
“I’m Helping.”
Khoi glares judgmentally at her, and Mala just observes
>>116499"We have couple questions for you, Jubilosa, do not worry."
Silver gets down low to be more at eye-level with Loputu. "I am healer, little one. I can help fix wound, make it not hurt. Would you like that?"
>>116499Dark Star Also Glares at the "Unicorn"
>>116500Jubliosa still presses forward wanting to talk, but Silver doesn’t have to hear it
>>116500He looks away from the white unicorn mare, and now to Silver, with his lavender eyes
“Okay...”
>>116501She now backs up a step, and looks almost embarrassed
“Grrr” Khoi bares her teeth and growls at her
Then the mare says
“Well, it looks like the other two ponies want to help you more now, if that is okay”
>>116502Silver makes it clear to Jubilosa that he has something he needs to take care of first, real quick.
Heal: [1d20+7 = 19] Silver is real careful to see what's wrong with Loputu, and do what he can to heal him.
>>116503Upon examination, the problem seems to lie in the lower half of the metatarsal bone on his left leg. There are two problems. First, the presence of a circular cut that wraps around the front half of that leg, maybe an eight of an inch wide and deep enough to let out blood. Second, the bone appears to be damaged, probably fractured - not that it’s possibkr to know for sure without an x-ray.
The best guess as to a course of treatment is to carefully apply an anti-biotic ointment, wrap a bandage around it, find a splint or some object to serve as one, and then tie the splint above and below the fracture and cut.
>>116504"There, any better?"
Sense Motive: [1d20+3 = 15] In line with the other discussion being had by the other members of the party, Silver looks for anything in pony-Zwolf's face that would suggest she'd harm the colt or his family.
>>116505>>116506She seems to be a caring enough member of the community
>>116507>>116506Silver smiles at her. "I do not see any reason why she shouldn't escort Loputu back to his family. She can even let them know what we are doing, ask if she can have their names and addresses for somepony to come later and question them about this ordeal for when she returns. I trust her."
>>116507"Khoi would you escort our friends to make sure they'll both be safe?"
>>116509She looks surprised at this
“To where?”
>>116508She nods, smiling
>>116511“I don’t either. But I don’t [i]know[i] where this kid’s parent’s house is”
>>116510With a nod, he turns back to Jubilosa. "Sorry about that. Now, where were we?"
>>116512he asks the colt
"Where do your parents live?"
>>116515“In the ghetto in the southern part of Red Heart. On Wipperwill street”
>>116513“What is going on here?”
>>116516"I suppose there is no point in hiding it. We are with civilian government of Baltimare. They tasked us to put end to activities at 33 Hoebuck."
>>116517“Baltimare... so that is where I am... You can help me?”
>>116518This gets him interested. "Help? So, you are captive, like others here?" He motions to the tether holding her to her position.
>>116518"Of course we can. Thats what we're here to do."
Dark Star smiles at him
>>116519She nods while her beak hangs open in disbelief
“Si. Yes.”
>>116520She looks back to him
“So... you are a zebra with the Baltimare government? What is going on here?”
>>116522“Some Griffins told me I could leave Midoria for Aquelia onboard a freighter ship. When we got here instead some griffins took me and tied me up. They placed me on a boat and took me through a tunnel to here. I remember seeing her” pointing to Khoi
>>116523"These Griffins have been everywhere...so, want to help us put end to everything happening here?"
>>116524“.... What is happening here?”
>>116521"Im not really a zebra, im an earth pony."
>>116525"What does it look like? We are freeing captives, gathering evidence of wrongdoing, and dealing with those responsible for this organization."
>>116527“This is... Equestria, right? You are not with the Political Police, are you?”
>>116528"Black Hooves? Well, no, I am not. We are here on orders from goverment."
>>116530>>116531Jubiliosa appears confused but somewhat very relieved by Silver’s answer. That relief disappears when Dark Star speaks
>>116532"Do not worry about him. He is only very recent hire by Black Hooves, and they are not involved in this. This is just operation for local, civilian government."
>>116533“I have enough experience to know there is no such thing as ‘local government’ when it comes to the Colonists”
>>116534He shrugs. "Might be Equestria is different. I do not know, but they have kept out of most government business. Perhaps not for lack of trying, though."
>>116535“O-Kay?”
She says, relaxing and moving forward, but still looking worried
“I guess it wouldn’t be any different than it is for me now if you were...”
>>116536Silver uses his knife to cut her free from her tether. "You were trying to get into Aquieia, right?"
>>116539"I think we can arrange something for you if you help us out. Your side of story would help government in hammering last nail in coffin of those responsible."
>>116540She nods slowly, still untrusting
Fortunately, somepony trustworthy is around to help inspire confidence
The white unicorn speaks
“Allow me... Don’t worry, we have nothing to do with the Fascists. This one here is a bit... happy to have done something once he thought was cool. We are all either natives, refugees, or migrants. We are not of the Colonists, we have nothing to do with the colonists except sometimes receiving some help from them. We are here to stop a set of organized criminals. They were going to abuse you as they abused so many Others. And we are going to put an end to that forever”
She bates her teeth at the last part of that for emphasis, strangely holding up her lips as if she had fangs
>>116541>>116541I don’t know where every pony went
Well... Iron opened his way up into another room... odd shaped, no creature seems to be there
>>116542Life.Iron clips clops inside, exploring the room while his flashlight uncovers the darkness.
>>116542Silver nods, affirming her story.
>>116542dark star squints at the "Unicorn" again
>>116544>>116545The unicorn smiles and nods
“Yes, you could help us by providing information or even fighting. But I assure you we having nothing at all to do with the Colonist government.”
Jubliosa:
“Well... Perhaps...”
>>116546"That could be helpful i suppose."
>>116547The unicorn nods and smiles at Dark Star’s acknowledgement of how she’s helped
>>116548Dark Star still seems on edge around her but he slightly smiles at her.
>>116549Okay, so what is Dark Star trying to do now?
>>116550Can i roll another perception to find any hidden things?
>>116552OOF brb i ate some spicy gumbo and my intestines feel like they are being stabbed.
>>116554>>116553Door at the end, and some sort of door that looks most like a garbage chute
>>116556Back
Dark Star examines the Garbage chute.
>>116557For some reason, it’s either locked or rusted shut
>>116559It’s not budging. It should be worth mentioning that it’s a cast iron door with metal trim that slide upwards, approximately rectangular in shape
>>116560is there a keyhole?
>>116562"Maybe. come take a look."
>>116563>>116560Strength: [1d20+2 = 7] Silver comes over the the garbage chute door, and attempts to use his Earth Pony heritage to open the door.
>>116561You know what? Fuck it. The area opens to what looks like a small slender hallway with a door towards the end, and on the left something like a bread baking oven
>>116565anything inside the oven?
>>116565I'll assume this is for me.Iron walks over to the door, trying open the door in front of it.
>>116563Mala comes up to it, uncomfortable
“Let me see the keys”
>>116564It does not open
>>116567Iron is going to the door at the end of the hall?
>>116568Correct.
I want to see where it leads, then I'll check on the oven thing.
>>116568Silver doesn't understand why he's uncomfortable, but he does loan Mala the keys.
>>116566Dark Star does not see an oven
>>116572>>116570Mala sits down, breathing heavily and quickly, and with one paw holds the key ring while flicking through it in the other
>>116575in case anythings on the other side.
>>116576>>116570Mala is still messing with the keys, going back and forth
I'd like to leave my message after the beep.
>>116576>>116570A different door, however, opens over to their left
>>116578*beep*
Just in time
whispers >>116579Dark Star swivels towards that door.
>>116579So, what is the bat experiencing at the moment?
>>116581At this point, I have no idea.
We're still experiencing the room entering, I think.
>>116582>>116581They entered into a narrow room which had some items, like a large bread-baking over off to the left, and what looks like a couple shelves, and a doorway (actually more than one doorway) towards the end. Iron is going through the different door
>>116579Silver looks over, muscles tensing up.
>>116583Hmmmm, Midnight is content to follow the stallion, staying alert for my change that mightbe coming.
>>116580>>116584And thus, the door opens, and Dark Star and Silver can see Iron and perhaps Midnight
>>116582>>116585Iron, and maybe midnight, can see Zebra Star and Silver in a long room. Silver has an unconscious creature on his back, there is some kind of dog feline creature there sitting, a golden kirin, a white female unicorn, a blackish-blue colt, and a griffin
>>116582>>116585>>116586Silver's muscles relax upon seeing the face of his friends. "Thank Celestia, it is you two. We were worried you were in trouble."
>>116586"Celestia! you two scared the horse apples out of me!"
>>116588>>116587Khoi:
"These two are with you?"
Mala looks up at them entering
>>116589He nods. "Iron and Midnight. We split up upon getting to this location."
>>116587>>116586>>116589Don't forget Skies.Iron is surprised to see his partners down here already, but it quickly dissipates into a shrug.
"It was not really that hard. Punched some griffins and stole some clothes."
He turns his eyes on the extra passengers.
"It seems you got to the slaves before us. Good work, you two. Unless you hired extra ponies while I was not around."
Scanning the mares in the room, Iron can't help but ponder.
(A lot of mares within the group. I hope they were only used for sewing.)
>>116590>>116588From behind those two, Blue Sheckles gently and casually walks into the room
"How did you two get over here, and who are they?"
>>116591"Good to see you too"
>>116592Dark Star smiles as she walks in
"We came in through the sewer. they were captives."
>>116593She tilts her head
"Okay... Why did you run away from the church?"
>>116594"What do you mean? the service was over. and i thought you had left."
>>116591"Only tip of iceberg of captives, I feel. Mala here," he motions to the dog-cat-thing, "has been our guide so far. Apparently, worse is coming up."
>>116592Silver is startled by Blue Skies' appearance, taking a second to remember what her griffon form looked like. "What Dark Star said. We were worried something had happened to Iron and Midnight, and ended up having to take alternative route. Meet Mala, Khoi, Loputu, Jubilosa, annnnnnnnd..." He gestures to each person in order, stopping at pony-Zwolf since he realizes he doesn't have a name for her.
>>116593Iron passively waves at Dark Star.
>>116596He nods at Silver.
"Good. With their testimonies, I am sure we can call in the backup."
>>116594Glancing at Mala, he simply nods stoically and politely.
"Iron."
He turns his attention to the two mares and the colt.
"Who is who between you three?"
>>116595"They were moving to a different location"
>>116596Zwolf opens her mouth, as if to provide a name herself. Then her eyes go wide in the realization she hadn't thought that part out. She closes her mouth, and after a moment says
"You can call me Miss Sands"
>>116597Mala nods back with an expression as if concerned
The golden Kirin:
"I am Khoi Lua"
The Unicorn:
"Sands... White Sands. Or Valge Liiv"
The Griffin - whether asked for or not
"Volador Jubilosa"
The Colt:
"Loputu Sugis"
>>116598"Oh,oops. sorry about that. i was really worried though."
>>116598He nods.
"I assume you three mares were wronged by the griffons above us and want to take them down in whatever way possible for making you work 18 hours a day and forcing you to sleep in poor conditions?"
Glancing at the colt, he feels a slight pity.
"Not to mention mistreatment of others."
>>116600Sands:
"Absolutely"
Jubilosa:
"They did what now?"
Khoi:
"I was in cage for long while. They would have done worse to me, and to many other. Yes, I will take them down."
>>116599"I continued talking to them for a while. I was going to infiltrate, then they said something that spooked me, so I left. And found this one' He points to Iron
>>116601Iron nods the Sands and Khoi, but looks inqusitively at Jubilosa.
"I assume you are a new slave? They were probably going to use you to make clothes as an illegal worker, most likely to save bits, and who knows what else."
Glancing at the other two mares, he shrugs.
"As far as I can tell, the two mares have a strong resolve against these griffs and I hope it is only due to neglect."
>>116602>>116596"Well, I was talking to them. They claimed that they were a sect of the Griffin Pantheon that views Boreas, Eyr, Arcturus and whatever to be facets or faces of the same god, and they didn't follow the central church in Romau. I figured they might be lying to me, but whatever. I followed them and kept talking. They say they left Griffonia because the Inquisitorial Service in the Empire would infiltrate and shut down their churches, and arrest them just for their worship. They say it got much worse after The Empire put down the secessionists in Feathesia where most of them are from, and annexed it. The new Archon is apparently pretty repressive. They like Equestria much better because there was no secret police here, and even now that there is, they don't care about Griffin religion and just leave them be. That's what spooked me. It kind of sounded like they were hinting that they knew I was not a normal visitor. Their tone was rather normal, but you two were gone, so I really didn't have any backup in case anything
did go wrong. So I left rather than risk it."
>>116603Jubilosa:
"What? I am no Griffin's slave, nor any pony's or other creature."
Sands turns to her side, and shows that she is wearing a bandage. She's rather thin around the waste in a manner not unlike an alicorn.
"Not Just neglect"
Khoi only nods, and she looks angry
\r
>>116604He hugs her
"I don't really understand the significance of their operation. what are they trying to do?"
>>116604Iron tightens his lips as Sands presents her patched up wound and the kirin's response.
"I expect as much from cocky species who nab slaves. Think they can tread on them because there is a cage separating them. Despicable."
He turns to Jubilosa
"Then I must ask: Why are you down here?"
>>116604"Hmm...how odd...you do not suppose some griffin saw you from their apartment and reported it to them, right?"
I can't fend off the sleep anymore. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Feel free to control Silver as you need to, to keep the action going. >>116605*griffin is hugged*
*griffin likes the hugs*
"They told me they were a religious sect. Then again, they didn't actually claim to have much or anything at all to do with 33 Hoebuck, so who knows how much overlap there is. They were certainly meeting together for
something. R&M thinks that they are creature traffickers, who claim to help smuggle immigrants, but really force them into indentured servitude and make profit off their labor. There is the ever present fear of weapons smuggling or the smuggling of foreign special forces who could train rebels - if you remember that being a serious thing."
>>116607"I don't even know. It's possible. More likely they are just suspicious of new people asking questions. Or maybe they seriously meant to say that they like that even the New Marelander's don't bother them with an Inquisition. I don't know."
>>116606"I was taken, placed on a small boat, and made captive here."
>>116608"i can confirm that's what they are doing. iv'e seen evidence of it happening. these mares and this colt were in bondage before we got them out."
>>116608Iron stares at the griffon like she's blind.
"As I said, a soon-to-be-made slave. You are lucky my partners got you before your captives did, or else you would have suffered like the colt and the other two mares around you."
He looks over to Khoi and Sands
"Are you both sure you are well? Being stranded in a cage does make a pony hungry, thirsty and tired."
>>116610She squints her eyes and looks at rom. Her beak hangs open slightly and her tongue is pointed up.
Khoi answers
“I am somewhat hungry, but I can manage”
Sands, however, seems intrigued
“Did you have something in mind?”
>>116611Iron nods at Khoi but when Sands actually seems interested in his offer, he blinks.
"I must say I have nothing on me particularly to give aside from random scraps of clothing I took, but if I can be of assistance, I will gladly help out."
>>116612“Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated”
She smiles at him
“It’s nice to have a big, strong stallion around to help us. It’s been a bad day for us, you know? Until you all showed up to rescue us.”
>>116613Iron can't help but puff his chest out and stand a bit taller at the clear flattery presented to him.
"It is no problem, Sands. I am glad to have helped against these griffons that dare hurt, neglect and abduct mares like you three like objects."
>>116614“I hope you don’t mind, but...”
She trots yo to him, then jumps her forelegs around his neck. She is hugging him. Her coat feels long haired but not fluffy. Close to the skin
\r
>>116615Iron closes his eyes, smiling to himself at the clear sign of affection presented to him, with the slightest of blushes on his cheeks.
"I was not really expecting that, but I do not mind. Heh."
>>116616She jumps off of him, and looks up at him with an almost mischievous smile
“Give and receive. You've been doing a lot of giving, so I wanted to give back in kind.”
>>116617Iron smiles abashedly, chuckling while blushing a little harder
"Oh, you do not need to worry about giving back, Sands. I am glad to help."
Okay, I am going to sleep
>>116618She giggles, and places a hoof to her mouth. Her coat is white with the hint of a bluish tint, and get braided mane is light red
“Well, I hope to see you help me a bit more through out the night, if that’s alright with you”
>>116619Night
Iron nods with a smile on his face.
"Fret not. I will be there."
He turns to Khoi and Jubilosa, realizing he's probably neglecting them, smiling awkwardly.
"Sorry about that. I got caught by surprise."
Focusing on Khoi, he smiles sheepishly.
"So how did you end up here?"
>>116619>>116621Silver can only shake his head. He turns back to Blue. "They have indeed been trafficking, with rather wide reach. Khoi here is from Ngua Nam and was looking to migrate to Equestria. Jubilosa is from Midoria, looking to migrate to Aquileia. Not only that, but we can now confirm they have been foalnapping locals. Loputu here is from Skynavian family living in Red Heart."
>>116623"I can confim this story. Its....bad down here."
>>116609"What is it you can confirm they are doing?" She asks
>>116623>>116624Despite Silver's words being more or less consistent with what they were told to expect, Blue Skies looks surprised and concerned at these words
"Well fuck me..."
After a pause, she responds
"Well, if they are kidnapping locals, then it is more serious than we thought. At least that means we can also get BPD involved. Maybe even a local militia. It also looks like they are probably working with other traffickers"
>>116621She shakes her head and makes an angry sigh
"Damn lairs told me they could get me into Baltimare after I was rejected at Locust Promontory"
>>116625He cocks his head, curious.
"Locust Promontory?"
>>116626"Or whatever they call it. The..."
Seeing that Khoi's comprehension of the ponish language and Baltimare Governate are reaching their limits, Blue Skies, with a remarkable ability to eavesdrop on ever conversation she is not a part of, fills in the gaps
"It's the migration processing facility in Baltimare"
>>116627Nodding at Skies in appreciation, he returns his gaze on Khoi.
"Why did you take the chance?"
>>116628"I didn't think it would be like
this!"
>>116629Iron nods.
"I do not blame or judge you. I probably would have done the same if I wanted to traverse the endless waters."
He gives a smile.
"I assume you were seeking a new life here?"
>>116625"Among other activities they have been participating in, no doubt. I feel this is just tip of iceberg. We should keep investigating."
>>116631She has a disbelieving look on her
"As if this isn't bad enough... What are you anticipating?"
>>116630"Yes, I was."
>>116632" im anticipating a comte scenario, or something on the same level of horror as that."
>>116633She nods
"I think this is a bigger scale... Well, we probably have enough to get R&M to send a task force"
>>116632Iron nods yet again, pondering.
"What skills were you hoping to use in order to achieve a stable living?"
>>116635She shakes her head
"Whereever there is work"
>>116634"There might not be enough time for that."
>>116637She nods, understanding, with grave expression
>>116636Iron strokes his chin with a small grin.
"I see," he responds with clear interest. "I might have something for you to do after this ordeal, but I need to consult with some ponies first. Are you up for it?"
>>116639"I am up for anything... But it sounds like the night is not over"
>>116640>>116637>>116631Iron nods.
"Agreed."
Before moving his gaze at his coworkers, particularly at Skies
"I assume we are going to release all of the prisoners before calling the backup, right?"
>>116641“Do you mean these ones? It looks like Silver and Dark Star think such a delay may be unwise”
\r
>>116643Iron hums.
"They will most likely feel something is amiss, specially after shutting down the heat and light of the building..."
He ponders for a bit.
"How would you go about contacting the backup?"
>>116644“Go find a customs station along the shoreline”
>>116645Iron nods.
>>116646He turns to Skies.
"Seeing how we are staying and look for more slaves down here, we will have to wait on that idea."
>>116647EEEEEndeed, my bat fellow. We recently have met up with Dark Star, Silver and the prisoners of this facility they have released and ready to fight/tell on the police. Dark Star has proposed that we release the other slaves before calling for backup.
>>116647Eeeeeeeeee!
Right now, the ponies are mostly talking and planning
>>116648>>116649"Does anypony have some fruit? Or have wounds that need healed?"
>>116650Iron points to Sands and Loputu, the former having a bandaged wound on her barrel while the colt has a limp leg.
>>116647Well that's just fucking adorable
>>116650The pony introduced earlier as White Sands turns her side and replies
“The older unicorn helped me earlier”
>>116638"Besides, our small task force might just be more effective than any reinforcements could be. They might underestimate us, and let us take them by surprise." He motions over to Loputu. "Before anything, it would be good idea to get little one back to his family. White Sands volunteered to do so, get family's names and address, then come back."
>>116654Skies blinks, and looks over to Sands
“And who is she?”
>>116655>>116654Iron can't help but blush a bit.
"She seems like a nice enough pony."
>>116653>>116654>>116655Midnight simply blinks at the exchanges before looking over Sand's bandaged barrel.
"Does it hurt very bad?"
>>116655"She is local, like Loputu."
>>116656“Uh Huh”
>>116657“It’s more of a long standing ache... I am okay though”
Loputu speaks up
“What can you do?”
>>116659Blush still present on his cheeks, he continues.
"She looks like an innocent pony who got roped into a tragic fate more than a dangerous individual."
>>116660White Sands smiles and tilts her head at him
Blue Skies is a little less pleased
“Innocent pony or not, should she really be leaving and wandering through the streets unescorted by armed ponies?”
>>116661"Hmm...good enough point. Who else should we send?"
>>116661Iron hums in thought, mulling over the possible fates of the poor mare that he believes is mostly defenseless.
"You are right. Red Heart is a dangerous place at night."
His blush reddens a bit.
"I do not want to put her in danger."
>>116662>>116663>>116664Sands gives a fake pout, but bats her eyes at Iron
Skies sighs
“Alright, if you
really think we need to put the teenager away, I can escort him back, and contact Customs in the process”
She looks over at the colt, and shakes her head
“Damned near old enough to carry a gun”
>>116659"I guess you could say I am a healer. I help protect and take care of ponies."
>>116665Iron's blush goes even redder as he smiles at Sands
"Hehe."
>>116666“That’s great! Can you help protect me?” He asks
>>116667Sands giggles at Iron, again placing her hoof to her mouth
>>116668Midnight stifles a giggle before patting his head
"Of course"
>>116669He doesn’t exactly like the patting - he’s an older colt, adolescent age, but he does ask
“Can you help my leg?”
>>116668Iron's eyes stay fixed on the mare, with a dazed expression.
(Woah.)
>>116665"Thanks Blue. we'll keep looking for prisoners."
He hugs her
>>116670Midnight doesn't care that he doesn't like the pets
"Let me check it for you"
Rolling heal to see what's wrong with him.

>>116672*lower-pitched coo*
*griffin is hugged*
“Okay... are you sure you wouldn’t rather conscript him?
>>116671Now, she places her hoof down, and nods with a more confident smile. She walks over towards Iron
>>116672>>116662>>116671>>116674White Sands walks up and stands next to Iron
“Alright, I’ll stay here and follow you all”
>>116679>>116672>>116662Iron puffs his chest out and stands taller when she walks next to her, standing at attention with the usual tinge of blush.
"Ready to move out."
>>116679>>116680"Alright. I am ready as well."
He looks over to Blue. "Hmm...it would not be good idea to split up again. He should probably stay out of any danger, however."
>>116679"If he is willing to. perhaps."
>>116683>>116685>>116680“Do you have any extra weapons for your... Voluntary Assistants?”
>>116679>>116685>>116680>>116683"I am ready, just tell me what to do."
>>116686"I have hammer and shortsword. Not best selection, I know. We could also take spears from pair of gnolls we incapacitated."
>>116688I switched to phone posting.
"I do. But tge weapons i have arent exactly subtle."
