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.

“Hmmm... Well, if you want to proceed with the group we have now, without either dropping off these civilians or seeking reinforcements, it would probably be wise to distribute melee weapons to those you want in the front of the action, and give firearms to the creatures you’d rather keep in the back as reserve. Let it be a secret that they are armed, and keep them out of the fight unless necessary.
Designate where you want each creature, and distribute said weapons if you have them”
Didn’t Dark Star buy a bow for Skies?

Sands blushes, but Skies says
“That’s nice, but it will take more than one body to absorb the blows these creatures can put out”

Iron waves his hoof dismissively, with his usual stoic and firm tone.
"Only for one skirmish, not for the whole ordeal. It is not like we are going to fight all of the griffons now."
As she turns to see Sands, his voice becomes mellow.
"I will protect you, do not worry."
He turns his attention to the two other female 'companions' "I assume both of you as well as Sands would like to have ranged weapons, correct?"

Iron turns to Silver with a defiant glint in his eye.
"Do not get me wrong. I expect much more."
His gaze goes to the mares resuced as well as the gnoll, his demeanor softening.
"But one skirmish against a couple of griffons should allow us to stock up on weapons for the captives we released around us."

At this time, a creature stirs. It's the Unicorn Silver had on his back. She moves, pushes to the side, pushes over, and.... falls down on the floor when one of the small ropes tying her to Silver's back comes undone. She mumbles and tries to stand up.
She is rather large. Actually quite possibly as big as Silver, rather tall and with a long horn. Her white coat is a light beige color, the color of desert sand. Her mane is rather long and full, a wood brown color. She mumbles

Mala shows again that he has the sword, a single edged slightly curved weapon with a hook - a scimitar, or at least a sword of some exotic design
"I could take a rifle too, but if we are short on weapons..."
Sands comes over, and seems to like the idea of having a revolver
Khoi looks at the choices
"Am I strong enough for a hammer?" she asks, trying to pick it up
>>116696
Sands is already examining a revolver, then she turns to smile at Iron with a malign grin, holding a revolver in a green, magical glow
Khoi Lua says
"I can handle melee"
Blue Skies says to him
"I think the traffickers might disagree with you on that. This place has only ever been attacked successfully twice. The first time by dozens of Equestrian Royal Guards, and in that case much of the leadership was probably tipped off and fled before hoof. the second time a platoon of Army Soldiers - 40 ponies - forced their way in, and several of those were in killed in the process, before they figured it wasn't worth it and withdrew"

"I remember," he responds to Skies
Iron cocks an eyebrow over her grin, but ultimately shrugs, knowing it should guarantee her safety, giving back a smile of his own.
He turns to Khoi, helping her measure her hammer-holding strength, placing a hoof on one side.
"Alright, try to pull it up."
He gazes at the giant unicorn, before returning to his helping.

She looks up back to Silver. Or rather, past Silver, as her eyes miss his head. They are a blue color, but not really a natural blue, as they have a whiteness to them
"No?" she responds
>>116704
Blue Skies:
"Yes, I have the crossbow"
>>116703
She pulls on it, and is able to get it into the air with difficulty

Iron grimaces.
"We will have to change weapons when we get the chance."
He points to an empty cage if there is one. If not, simply the wall.
"Try hitting that."

Her eyes vaguely track the hoof, but cannot keep focus on it
"I am... Highland Meadow... from Karkardannistan..."
>>116708
She takes it with her hoof, and a glow of golden magic, and slams in against the cage Loputu was formerly in. It hits with a CLANG that is much louder than would be desired
>>116709
She places a hoof on the knife and Dark Star's hoof, with an almost loving look and smile
"D'aww. I'll have fun slicing this through a griffin's throat"
>>116707
The griffin, Jubilosa picks up the short sword, and examines it

Iron looks at this with mixed feelings, but ultimately nods at her
"...you seem capable enough. Alright, hammer is yours. Be sure to use my body as cover, then you jump out and clang the enemy."
He smiles.
"Basically watch my flank."
Turning his gaze to Jubilosa, he nods at her option.

"I admit that is true."
He nods at her implicit proposal
"Be careful."
Iron has to keep the possible remark about Jubilosa's comment hidden for now, as he hears the sounds of the cylinder

To Blue Skies: "She has been severly drained by her captivity."
To Meadow: "Here, eat. It is not much, but it will help." He offers her a chocolate bar, made of dark chocolate.

She is suffering from the general effects of having her life force largely drained from her, then placed in a torpor in a saline solution where her body started to very slowly disintegrate. She is partly blind, weak, has a discolored coat, and is fatigued. Only gradual healing over time, or magical replenishment can help her. Re-infusing love magic is the simplest and quickest way to help, but it can be difficult to find said love. Friendship helps.
>>116728
Blue Skies is confused
Meadow chomps at the air next to Silver's hoof, waits until Silver places the bar in her mouth, then starts slowly eating it
>>116726
She smiles
"Can I have some?"
>>116729
She stands up, and walks close to Iron, gentle grazing him with her long haired coat
She whispers into Iron's ear
"I told the young one over there, Loputu, that I was sent by his parents and found this place by happenstance. But that was a lie to shield him from the truth. I was abducted and held captive here. I was abused..."

Thus she is sandwiched between the two as she nibbles on the chocolate, which she seems to enjoy. Her coat is characterized by short hair, and her ribs are not far under the surface, though that may be from emaciation. She is noticeably taller than Midnight
Without magical infusement, it's a slow but steady road to recovery

Midnight winces when she feels the mare's ribs.
"Hold on, I hope this will help you."
She presses her snoot against the mare's neck, before uttering a short prayer to Luna for healing.
Casting Cure Light Wounds. I don't know if I should actually roll for hit points recovered.

At first, Iron's cheek redden from the subtle contact between their coats, but as he hears her story his resolve to beat these griffins down increases. His brow furrows further and his mouth tightens.
"I understand. Your bandaged wound clearly show that."
He ponders for a bit, trying o change into a hopefully happier note.
"What did you do before you were taken away by these savages?"
I love using irony.

There are whispering sounds. The creature before her is a little bigger than her, and looks like kind of a strange dog-cat thing. He had a brownish-tan colored fur with big black stripes, triangular ears and brown eyes. He had a sword in a sheath on his back and a kind of smell
“My name is Mala. What is yours?”
>>116757
Suffice it to say that this is absolutely not the conversation she was expecting. Her eyes go wide, and there’s an almost joyful smile
“Don’t you worry. We have secret reserves of magic that help us incapacitate our prey. It’s not an issue so long as we are alone”

Don’t worry little Midnight. He probably does eat ponies, probably. He definitely could though. If anything, the teeth and jaw are oversized
Over the sounds of multiple whispered conversations, he says
“It is nice to meet you too....”

Iron chuckles, with the same blush on his cheeks.
"I will be sure to guard yours as well, Sands."
He walks next to her, rubbing his coat against her, planting himself in front of her and turns his neck to see her face, flashing her a coy smile.
"We will take down these scrawny weaklings."

He just nods slowly
“What of the griffin gangsters?”
>>116781
>>116780
Now, a look of malice comes upon her face. It’s not playful or mischievous, but genuine anger
“Oh, I’ll make sure of that”
She pulls the revolver up to her face as the green magical aura illuminates her
Off in the distance, Khoi, who has looked upon these ponies with disdain, before now, nods in agreement

Iron shares their look as he stands upright, awaiting orders alongside Sands and Khoi who is obviously not alongisde them right now, but she will when the fighting starts given both Iron and Khoi's current fighting styles..
"We will make them pay for what they have done to both of you. One feather at a time."

Blue Skies says,
“Alright, where to next”
How ever, Mala stands up, and yells out something. In a rather demanding tone, he says
“Hold on. Before we go any further, I want to be promised something. I want to be guaranteed.,,” he searches for the term, “I want immunity. I want to not be prosecuted for anything here.”
Something in his demeanor makes it obvious that, when he planned this out in his head, it was intended as an ultimatum

Iron shrugs at Mala's demand, not really caring or having a say on this, before turning to the far away mares he believes he has a sway in the common interest of beating the griffons up.
"Khoi, Jubilosa. Form up near me. Cover the sides, I will go at the front." He turns to Sands, his blush and smile replaced with determination. "Sands, Cover the rear."

He inhales and exhales a tense breath
“I need to be sure... and I need something more...

And I need to not go to jail...” Now he trails off again
Blue Skies shrugs back to Dark Star

Iron processes this whole ordeal, overall being confused at most of the things mentioned, but decides not to question it out loud and instead mull it over to himself.
He gestures Khoi and Jubilosa to follow, obviously wanting to have a reliable formation to increase their odds of success, and moving into the garbage chute mentioned and points his flashlight at it.

When Silver sticks his head into the chute, he is assaulted with a bad smell. It's hardly as bad as it could be, nor is is it unexpected for a supposed disposal of trash. It's what he sees next that is unexpected
Bones. Piles and Piles of Bones. They are all together in a room maybe 10 feet by 12 feet and of an unknown depth. All belonging to an unknown number of creatures, but surely the bones of several dozen are represented in this topmost, visible layer. Skulls of Equine creatures, probably ponies or Zebras. At minimum two seem to have the bases of sawed off horns, and another has a thicker sawed off horn. A kirin maybe? Another has two sawed off horns to each side, as does another larger skull. Several have birdlike beaks. Humerus bones, ribs, femurs, spatula bones, tarsus bones, cervical vertibrea. The remnants of hooves, paws, and wings, both avian and bat-like.
At least half of the bones are charred or partly destroyed by fire, and indeed many are unrecognizable because of it. But there are so many that are recognizable.

Looking down with Silver, his interest with exploring this watery graveyard dissipates almost immediately.
"I am pretty sure we should not go down there unless we are planning on escaping now, and even then it should be an emergency situation."

"I know! Sweet Celestia, government is going to have field day with this." He looks some more. "So, presense of kirin and griffon-or hippogriff-skeletons means this likely started after Stormfeather Maakie took over. And couple of horned skulls are missing their horns...think they sold those on black market, like what you saw in Zaphzia?"

"At least this will make it easier to convince the authorities to stop this nonsense."
He glances towards Sands
(Now why would she want this immunity thing, too?)

Sands, like most of the creatures in the room, did not stick her head in the chute. But she had heard the others talking. It’s enough to leave her face in an expression of twisted and silenced horror
>>116815
>>116817
Mala’s head hangs low. It’s a look of shame, and one he’s worn in most of the short time they’ve known him.
>>116820
The total number of bodies there is hard to measure. It looks like a few dozen, but who knows how deep it goes. There could be many more. Many of the bones are burnt. Clearly, they tried to cremate rather than bury the bodies first.

Iron, obviously worried about Sands and the other mares, walks back to the unicorn and wraps a foreleg around her, lightly squeezing her in an attempt to comfort her.

She’s still a little bit more than disturbed, though somehow less surprised than Khoi, who looks almost ill.
Sands is hugged
>>116824
Mala is pet. His fur is surprisingly soft, being short and mostly standing upright.
>>116825
>>116824
When they first met Mala, he was eating something. Something that left his mouth bloody, and which he hid behind a counter. He physically blocked Silver and Dark Star from entering deeper into the room after that point.
>>116825
Mostly, there is silent nodding. Not quite yet an outburst of anger

"Do not worry. We will make sure these scum will never try this again. Together."
He smiles, before turning his head to the other two mares with a serious, determined look.
"Khoi! Jubilosa! Let us rise up against these abominations that dare toy with the lives of ponies! We will cut their monstrous claws off of them and send them to the depths of fire!"

At this point, Khoi Lua literally explodes into magenta flames, her body now black as coal. She screams in anguish
”RAHHHHHH!”
Jubliosa is taken aback and moves back, and Sands moves back a step in shock. It is Loputu who reacts the most strongly, turning away and running back several feet, before again facing her. Mala also moves back and tries to hide behind Dark Star out of line of sight

Silver might not understand a word of that, but he gets the drift. He looks over to Mala. "Mala, if you would please, lead us to some griffons to punish, or prisoners to free."

Iron can't help but watch in awe the fiery passion Khoi unleashed, like a moth to a flame.
However, he knew that she had to be able to be stealthy for now.
"Khoi, listen to me. First we have to release the others before we commence our purging, and we do not want to scare them into a quivering mess."
He points at Loputu, who ran away the moment she caught herself on fire.
"I ask for the sake of the prisoners to settle down. You will get your chance to end the lives of these horrendous ponies soon enough."
Hooves crossed hoping this works.

Okay, I have to go to sleep now. It was really fun this weekend, and worth it to take the time to flesh out the characters. I think it’s progressed well thus far, and I hope we can enough ponies together to advance soon

A recap for Midnight, for when they get back so they don't need to scroll through every post they missed:
The group opened the garbage chute in the room they're in, discovering that the griffins in charge of this operation have been using it to dispose of bodies. Hundreds of ponies, kirins, griffins, and perhaps even hippogriffs have been thrown in here, left to decay into skeletons for an unknown amount of time, with the most recent having been two years. They bear the marks of a failed cremation attempt by the griffins to try to hide their dirty work. The skulls of unicorns and kirins are missing their horns, each sawn off and likely either sold on the black market, or taken by the griffins here as trophies. Mala explained that the most recent skeleton in there is around two years old, as he explained to his greatest shame and remorse that it was just before the griffins discovered that gnolls can digest bone. The implication should be obvious.
Silver, Star, Iron, and Khoi are furious, and more determined than ever to free the prisoners here and punish every griffin responsible for this travesty. Mala is understandably filled with remorse and shame for his part in this, but is still committed to helping the group in their mission. Loputu, Sands, Jubilosa, and Skies have been stilled by what they found, only offering subdued responses to the others. Meadows has not had much of a reaction either way, though that is due to her condition more than anything else.
>>116852
Silver looks over to Blue Skies. "So, what do you think civilian government would send over, now that we have found this?"

Iron, knowing his luck with traumatized small ponies and unsure of how to properly speak with the big horse Meadows, he decides that holding still is a valid option.
He glances at the enraged Khoi and the morose Sands, wondering to himself with a pensive twist of the mouth
(Khoi did not seem to ask about this 'immunity' thing. Mala at least ate bones of the ponies to feel the need to call it out. Was Sands part of the security? Why would she have a big wound to bandage her midsection? Something does not fit.)

Midnight steps over and looking into the chute. Her eyes twitch at the sight before she steps back.

"Shhh, shhhhhhh, it is okay, nopony is going to hurt you. We are all friends here." Silver keeps Loputu close to him and strokes his back, despite the risk of being hit. He uses a fatherly tone, a calming one he has used before to calm his foals out of their nightmares.

After one more second of staring, he decides that asking about it now is not wise.
"Your mane looks rather nice," he offers to her, with a small smile.

While it would be undeservedly demeaning to compare Loputu to a crayfish flailing its pinchers while being held from behind the thorax, that’s basically the situation, with Silver holding him from behind and his legs kicking forward
“I was just looking around the waterfront. I didn’t want to be involved in any of this”
He’s almost crying
>>116872
She smiles back
“Thanks”
And looks on with the scene with Loputu

"I know, little one, I know." He keeps a hold of him, trying to serve as a comforting presense, though he doesn't know how well he's doing.

With a nod, he turns back to the scene bemusedly.
(Now how would a stallion be able to calm down a colt?)
He hums to himself, listening to the small one's words, walking forwards to the scene.
"I assume you have a place to go back to, yes?" he sasks Loputu, hoping either him or Silver can respond.

He’s clearly terrified
“I was just looking around!”
And now, because it, he too could have ended up inside of the chute. Or more likely, but not more pleasantly, inside of Mala’s stomach.
The scene has entirely shaken Khoi out of it, and now she too looks concerned. Jubilosa is also concerned and walks closer. Even Meadows stands up now, and walks over
Loputu speaks again, evidently in answer to Iron’s question
“Yes, I live in the city”

"I promise you, little one, you will get back to your family, and we will make sure griffins that did this will never be able to hurt anypony else ever again."

Midnight somberly looks at the gathered creatures, wishing she knew how to calm them all.
"What will be our next move?"

Jubilosa comes up to him, and speaks in a strangely jovial tone
“Don’t worry little one. You’re a pony. They will go out of their way to help you, and they will never blame you”
Mala and Sands slowly and subtly move their heads in nods
>>116879
They don’t entirely seem to know

“Well... I must admit that is not what I was anticipating when I was assigned to take an immigration case”

Silver looks at Jubilosa. "It is not because he is pony. It is because he is innocent victim in all of this, same as you."

(It is a good thing she is not really agreeing with her being a victim,) Iron thinks to himself. (At least she did not suffer what the others had.)
He awaits the moment to finally move out to the places Mala mentioned it had prisoners, potentially through the hole underground.

He motions at loptu
"i really want to fry some griffons."

If I recall correctly, Mala said to visit the workshop and upstairs for some prisoner rescuing, so upstairs it is.

If you’re talking about the large over, that’s in the room over, and the boiler is two rooms over
“... Is this like a gang ‘turf’ war?” He asks in almost disbelief
>>116890
Sure, they can all move out to a place when you feel ready. Just be very specific about where you are trying to go because an answer than is even vaguely ambiguous will just be rejected with “where are you trying to go?”
