Blue Skies is looking at Silver when he opens his eyes
"Are you alright?"
She twists her head
Johann walks out

"Yeah, yeah, it will pass. Just dizziness." He slowly sits up. "Maar tried showing me vision of this place back when it was mental hospital. He tricked mare into killing herself by jumping off railing. Tried to say that facing him is facing oblivion."

Blue Skies twists her facial expression to one of deep, horrified concern
Johann's golden eyes light up
"And that is what he will say. He may well have killed the mare, he may just be taking credit for misfortune. Both are likely for him. Do not underestimate him. But stay resolute against him."

"I do not fear him. But it seems he is angered by defeat of his cultists, and especially by means which those cultists who faced me in particular died. When we face Maakie, we should expect he will do something to aid Maakie in fight." He pats Skies' shoulder, and looks around. "So, how long was I out?"

Skies:
"Not very long. You just ran out and seemed to have a spasm. Are you sure you are alright? It almost looked like a stroke, or seizure or.... something"
Johann steps forward more closely
"His power in this world is limited. He cannot act except through followers - though he can exert quite a degree of control on them. Neutralize them, and you limit his power. Be careful though. He can slip through any crack"

Silver chuckles again. "To be honest, I thought I was having stroke at first, too. Asking nun what date was and having her tell me it was two months before I was even born..."
He looks back to Johann. "That is probably why he is so angry. I killed his priest, myself."

At the first of Silver's statement, his expression is grave
"He can sometimes replay events from past time. He is ever watchful, and remembers. He may embellish, he may not. But he will show you what he thinks he needs to make his point."
But at Silver's next statement, he smiles, at least to the extent griffin's can
"Heheh. Really?"

Silver nods. "He cast this magic blade and threw it through air, after things had been completely lost for him. He met his end to my blade, like those he sent to face me previously."
He considers Johann's first reply. "So, do you think he will try to turn us against each other? Try to possess one of us and use them to attack others?"
Silver nods. "He cast this magic blade and threw it through air, after things had been completely lost for him. He met his end to my blade, like those he sent to face me previously."

He nods, with a smile on his face
"Very good."
Then he answers
"Maar is a god of discord as surely as of madness. He will turn a community against itself, and always seeks to convert rather than to conquer. He will try. It's whether he will find a weak point to hammer that is the real question."

Iron hums softly as he saunters over the munitions off, inspecting what sort of neat trinkets there are.
He glances at Johann, puzzled at his inquiry. "What is this item you are searching look like?" he asks

Johann comes back to Iron from a position he took outside of the room, and holds up one claw as demonstration. “A pistol. Small. Black, metal, except on the handle where it is wooden and brown. Comprised of two sections perpendicular to the other,. A silver barrel sticks slightly out the end of it.”

Comprised of two sections perpendicular to the other,. A silver barrel sticks slightly out the end of it.”
With a hum, Iron starts rummaging his excessively large bulge for a bit, sticking his tongue out in concentration as his hoof moved aside the fabrics before pulling the somewhat average-sized pistol. "Something like this?"
>>122669
White Sands smiles at the display. Johann extends his head and twists it slightly in curiosity as Iron rummages, but his eyes go wide and mouth opens as Iron pulls out the pistol
“Ja! That’s it! That’s it!”

Iron neatly passed the pistol to the griff in front of him casually. "Here you go," he responds, albeit with a small grimace and the slighest of ear folding from disappointment.

Johann delicately takes the pistol by the handle and pulls it closer to him, his eyes focused on the pistol
"Your service to Boreas and to the Inquisition will be noted"
He inspects it, turning it side to side, and pulling back the slide with a "click" and letting it go forward with a "clack." He then opens his trench coat, and places the gun in a pocket on the left side.
Sands places a hoof behind Iron's head on his neck
"Don't feel bad. There will be more. We will find more."

With a nod towards Johann, Iron tenses slightly before softening at hearing Sands' words, opting to lean his neck back towards her hoof as he grins softly. "I hope you are right," he responds

White Sands:
“This place is made for siphoning money off of poor bastards. I’m sure they have some of *that* around here somewhere”
She pets a little more, her hoof diffing into Iron’s long and unruly mane
Blue Skies, just walking back in:
“The Government will pay bounties”

Hearing the mix of encouragement and opportunity, Iron can't help but feel invigorated as he straightens his head out and ready to move out. "Right!" he proclaims "We shall proceed with the mission."
An awkward pose as the native stands there for a good ten seconds before glancing at Skies. "Where are we supposed to go from here?" he asks

Humming softly, Iron decides to nod at Skies. "Fair enough," he starts "I will take some time to turn over some stones around these parts." He glances back at Sands. "Follow me," he commands softly, going over to the door "I will be sure that changeling does not foalnap you."

With Sands on his tail, Iron peeks out of the room, wondering what sort of hidden stones he can unturn somewhere along these rooms.

The door has a slight give to it, implying a mundane lock rather than a steel bar on the other side. But it's also not wooden, and will not crack

Iron turns around, his rear to the door. Then, he picks up, and.... BUCKS IT
His hooves hit square in the middle, denting it slightly, and knocking it right off both the hinge and the lock, the lock giving way first, and sending it flying back across a room, slightly to the right.
White Sands, standing to his side, jumps back in shock. Blue Skies peaks over holding her crossbow, looking in
"Damn"

Iron huffs softly before pushing the door open, looking back to Sands with a small smile and one little chuckle before stepping in, ready to see what sort of mysteries this room holds.

This room looks closest in nature to an office
There is a wooden desk, some papers, A big, wooden cabinet over in the left, two chairs before the desk and another on the wall by the left, a table, a bigger file cabinet nearer the back, a book shelf with some books on it, a carpet, and some other decorative items, including two separate paintings, one a portrait of a griffin in a naval-esque suit, and another of waving hitting a shore with a lighthouse and a windmill under the orange sky of twilight.
Probably the most interesting thing in the room is a stuffed Manticore on the far right. It is partly standing up and a higher ceiling helps. Still, the creature takes up a decent portion of a large rectangular room. The manticore is in the middle of a roar, with big fangs, but still conveys a faint expression of fear in its presumably now artificial eyes.
The walls are white, and the floor is wooden except where there is carpet.

There is no obvious valuables out in the open. But opening the cabinets in the back reveals a can of some kind of munitions, bottles of wine and whiskey, a locked steel safe, a pair of wooden cleg shoes, two rings, a telescope, and a big leather belt
>>122699
Aside from a brass trinket paper weight that seems to be a miniature of some important griffin building, there are papers. A couple file folders, and papers

Opening the door leads to a small little foyer, with a mat on the ground with blue trim. The foyer area is smal, maybe two meters long. To the right there is a coat pole, with a single coat on it. It's somewhat uncomfortable looking fur coat. Green. On the ground is a set of boots. To the left are some shelves, including a hat and a cane.
On the other side is another double door, this one a soft brown but also having recessed panels. But it is closed. There is a simple steel lock closing it from the outside.

Yes. Another griffin for Midnight to bond with. This one is male.
"They are here, as far as I know. Two have gone through the doors on the left"
>>122715
Relatively short fur, but a greenish tint, a little bright and closer to the yellow range. Not particularly fluffy, though at least somewhat soft. Honestly it's not clear why any creature would find this fashionable, unless maybe it's their natural coat color

Silver may not be as strong as Iron, but he's still got a bit of strength in him. The lock does not break. The wooden handles on the door, however, break off, and the door opens inwards, hitting something on the side and bouncing off, partly closing.

A "thud" inside, and the two can see into what is evidently a bedroom.
The walls are mostly a bluish color, and here too are they decorated with a a couple paintings, one being of a city scape of low rise buildings and canals, and another of a sailing ship. On the right is a large bed, kingsize, with huge fluffy pillows and white bedspread. Over top of the bed, recessed into the wall is a glass that covers over a saber sword with intricate hilt. Opposite the bed is a television, and on the side closer to the ponies, a day bed. The wall on the right has two windows that are covered up, and there are electric lights over the top. There is a dresser on the nearby wall, and a night stand to either side of the bed, as well as a radio to the bed's far side. On the far side is a cracked open door on the left that has a leather leash leading in from the bed, and to the right is a fully open door that reveals a bathroom with marble sinks and.... a Jacuzzi?

It's approximately a saber, a rather long but kind of thin slightly curved single edged blade. The cross guard is intricate, perhaps overly so, like a string of steel tied in a knot, and there is an engraving on the handle. Above it is the sheath, which is itself engraved with initials like "R.S.N"

Midnight flings the door open
Inside it's a rectangular shaped room with some suits and houseclothing, but above all
"Ah!"
A frightened creature before her. A beak, red fur, wings, a simple blue mane, purple eyes, and ears that seem backwards from that of a pony. Female and somewhat small, wearing black socks on her rear, hooved legs, and a golden necklace around her neck. There is a leather tie around her right foreclaw
