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.

>>115885"I Don't suppose that you would like to help free more ponies and others from their bondage?"
>>115887“No. How do I get out of this place?”
>>115888He points her in the direction they came through
"Be careful going through there. there are 2 gnolls we caged at the beginning of the sewer."
>>115888While Silver begrudgingly accepts this answer, he still gives her a judging look for leaving without even answering any questions.
>>115890I noticed you never commented on whether or not she showed up as a pony or a changeling. So, what is she?
>>115890>>115879Dark Star glances over at silver as she smiles
"Yes there are, i would suggest you hurry through there, those 2 are very dangerous. they put up a very tough fight."
>>115892Invalid test. She blinked.
>>115893She nods and proceeds to go that direction, Mala now looking concerned and Khoi confused and offput by the scene in front of her
>>115894Silver moves to block her, put off by the way she acted. "One thing, before you go: I still need to make sure you are not changeling."
>>115895She moves back, looks at Silver indignantly, then tries to go around him
[1d20+5 = 10]>>115896"my Friend here is kind of a stickler for these kinds of things. it would be easier just to allow him to do it. you have my word nothing bad will happen."
Diplomacy
>>115896Silver simply blocks her again, not having any of her shit. "You take test, I let you go. You refuse, I put you right back in that cell, because I still have no explanation for that cacoon and who made it, and you have been wholly uncooperative so far."
>>115897>>115898She nods to Dark Star, then looks to Silver, and says
“I am no Changeling. I am pony. I do not know where Changeling go that make cocoon. Let me go.”
>>115899Silver gets into a combat-ready stance. "One."
>>115899"You swear you are a Pony? and that you don't know anything about this place?"
Dark Star watches her body language
>>115900“I was kidnapped and brought here. I do not know except these are bad creatures”
Mostly indignance with a hint of fear
>>115900She definitely tries to walk around him
>>115902Silver will not let her. It is probably best she just gives in and accepts the test.
A telekinetic sheath forms around the hilt of his sword as he begins to draw it. "Two."
>>115902"I See, Kidnapped from where exactly?"
He continues to watch her body language.
"The flashlight test is a significant part of Equestrian society these days. it won't hurt at all i promise, just hold your eyes open please and then my friend will move so you can leave."
>>115903“Let. Me.
Go.”
>>115904She seems determined to leave
“Tell him to let me go”
[1d20+4 = 8]>>115905Silver draws his sword. "Three."
Unless she gives in or Dark Star orders Silver otherwise, the mare should probably roll initiative.
>>115906>>115905"Silver stop. Just let him shine the light in your eyes and you can go."
>>115907Silver holds, but it's only on Dark Star's orders.
>>115908>>115907So... pony does not begin combat with Silver. She tries to walk around him
>>115909Silver is still not letting her through until either she takes the test or Silver is ordered to stand down.
[1d20+2 = 18]>>115910She tries to jump over Silver
[1d20+4 = 7]>>115911Jump: Silver tries to counter-jump and block her.
>>115910>>115910From her position on the ground, she jumps up, lands hooves on top of Silver’s back - which gives an unambiguous sting because this tugs on the stitched skin - skirts the low hanging ceiling, and lands before Mala and Khoi. Khoi looks offended
“His back is injured”
She still has to get past Khoi and Mala, but she has jumped over Silver
>>115912Silver presses her up, and while she may well skirt the ceiling more than if he did not, it does not stop her. It does strain his back more though
>>115914"Stop her! she's a changeling!"
[1d20+2 = 12]>>115914The pain she causes Silver only serves to make him more angry.
Strength: Silver tries to tackle her to the ground.
[1d20 = 9]>>115916Opposed
>>115915Mala is still for a moment, wincing in fear of the happening before him. Khoi is not, leaning down, and blocking off the route past the idle Mala
>>115916She falls down onto her side, she moves her hooves to try to get up, and she moves out her mouth with a definite
”HISS!” towards Silver
[1d20+8 = 19]>>115918Silver attempts to use his sword's pommel to bash the changeling's head until they fall unconscious.
>>115919Fuck, that was meant to be a nonlethal strike and I forogt to take the penalty to the roll.
>>115919>>115920She is hit in the head with the strong butt, and a slight crack is heard.
Then, a fire of sorts envelopes her, and consumes her. It leaves behind a small, almost charred black colored beatle-skinned creature with blue hair, blue dragon fly wings, and green, whiteless eyes
>>115923She is borderline on the conscious, unconscious range. Best not to risk anything
[1d20+4 = 19]>>115924True. And she did piss him off with that whole ordeal. He aims another pommel strike at her cranium.
>>115925>>115926"Don't kill her. i have some questions."
>>115927Silver holds midway in his swing.
>>115925>>115928He cracks the skull with that second pommel strike. She’s sure as shit not preying on any ponies tonight, he can be sure of that....
Or maybe not. I guess Silver can hold his swing
Either way,
Khoi jumps the hell back, started by the alien creature
“Mot kohimo!”
Mala comes closer to the creature, and looks at it with sober fascination
“So they did have one. An Obanje”
[1d20+2 = 6]>>115929"If that is your word for changeling, then yes."
Strength: Dark Star might have ordered Silver to hol his last swing, but silver will still try to pin the stunned bug so she can't escape.
>>115930It’s less than a convincing pin, and if anything it opens him up to vampirism
>>115931There's not many other options for Silver if Dark Star is going to want her conscious. Maybe Silver could try again? He just needs to get it so he can tie her up.
>>115932“Yes, an Obanje. They say they will sneak in and steal children from their huts. Shapeshifters”
>>115933He could just try to tie her up. She is wearing a black collar as well, which may help... something
[1d20+4 = 14]>>115934Use Rope: Silver attempts to tie the changeling up.
>>115934"Yes that is indeed an obanje then. they are called changlings in ponish."
