Along the shores of Baltimare Harbor, in the halls of old 33 Hoebuck, our heroes have discovered a dark secret. What started as a mundane mission to stop illegal immigrant smuggling has uncovered something far more horrific - a cult from Griffonia. The party has successfully challenged and defeated many of the cultists and hired criminals, but in the process, has nearly died themselves. Now, low on health, they must both recover and put an end to the evils in 33 Hoebuck once and for all - before it puts an end to them first.
Way up north, in the Iron Range of Whinnysota, the ponies their inquire into exact who or what is damaging so many machines. Investigating and following leads, they may unveil the faults and problems of the Haysabi Iron Mine, and gain favor with Changeling authorities.

Silver nods in understanding.
"I know how that is, if partially. If you can not do this, then you do not have to. No one will look down on you for backing out. And as always, Khoi and I are here if you need someone to come to."
Silver nods in understanding.

Khoi raises a hoof
"This is important"
Jubilosa adds
"No.... I won't... back out"
She does look nervous, and she smiles awkwardly

Silver smiles at her.
"You truly are strong person."
He looks to Khoi for what she has to say, if anything.

She eeks a smile out
Khoi looks to Silver, then to Jubilosa. She then walks closer to Jubilosa, and places a hoof on her, then pulls her closer, so that Jubilosa's chest contacts the relatively fluffy area of Jubilosa's chest, in a hug
"It is normal to have such emotions. But understand, what is happening here is important, for you, for so many that were not fortunate, and for so many in the future. Set aside your fear, and the universe will repay it later. You are strong. You have shown it. Just be strong a little longer. Remain in control of yourself. Suppress it. And you will prevail."

Silver remains silent in respect of Khoi and Jubilosa's friendship, but he does nod in agreement at her words.

The physical contact seems to calm her
"There we go. Calm yourself. Clear your mind. It is hard, but you are strong"
Khoi, still hugging her, looks back to Silver, and motions her right hoof for him to join

"Oh, right."
Silver trots over, and hugs the poor cat-bird from the other side. He hopes his own floof makes the hug as enjoyable as Khoi's.

Silver comes and hugs her from her back. She flinches a little, not evidently expecting the touch, but quickly relaxes, and places a claw over Khoi in front of her. Silver can feel her wings move out slightly when he first touches her, but these too, relax, and Silver can feel her slim body and feathered wings. Her fur is kind of soft, but fairly short, and she does indeed feel like a giant cat under his forelegs.

She places her head forward, into Khoi's chest. At Silver's words she seems to say "thank you," but her words are muffled. It's not clear if she does or does not start crying, fairly silently. Khoi tries to stroke her feathers and fur with her free right leg, as she sits down next to Jubilosa

Her back moves a bit up and down as he pats. She seems more comfortable with him now
Khoi scrunches, but goes with it, petting her

"You have been so strong for us, Jubilosa. Let us be strong for you."
He rests his head against her soft back. As a pony who likes hugs, he has to admit, Jubilosa is a very nice griffon to hug.

She shivers a little, presumably in crying for a moment. She tries to sit down, though her back arches a little under Silver's hooves. She seems comfortable under Silver's forelegs, and after a moment it seems almost like she is... purring

Silver continues to hold her close, enjoying the feeling of her soft and warm fur.

Now she pulls her head back, and looks to Silver with what is almost embarrassment. She sort of pulls her back away with him but as his legs are wrapped around her, she doesn't have much room to move
"I guess... it could be worse here"
Khoi pets her on her neck again
"There we go"

Silver chuckles, pets her back a couple more times, and lets her go.
"I think it is decided, Khoi: griffons are nice to hug."

Khoi smiles to him. Jubilosa, pulling away from Khoi, gives a smile as well, but it is more reluctant
Jubilosa:
"If you say so"

Silver looks between the pair.
"We have couple of spare rifles. If you two would like, you could move to back to fight at range, so you are not in direct path of harm for upcoming fight,"

Silver grabs a rifle, and shows her the general idea of how rifles work: how to hold them, how to aim, how to fire, how to work the bolt and load a new round in the chamber, and how to reload, if the party has any spare rounds to reload the rifles with.

An important note, since no party member has bothered to check this yet - none of the rifles recovered in the armory are bolt action

One of the two rifles is simply a break action, but with two barrels. The other is a pull action, essentially a simplified bolt action. Undertoe, seeing the guns being used, comes in to help show the creatures how to operate the actions, and load the cartridges.
Fortunately there were a couple boxes of ammunition, because it doesn't work with equestrian rounds

"Hmmm?" She says, looking over from around Iron. She slinks over to Silver when he offers the rifle.
"If you insist"
Between Undertoe, Jubilosa, Khoi Lua, and now White Sands, all three rifles, as well as Silver's rifle, would be distributed

Is Silver giving his rifle to somecreature? If so, who?
Blue Skies walks over
"What are you doing with the over sized one and the colt?"

Jubilosa and Khoi get the break-actions, White Sands gets the pull-action, and Undertoe gets Silver's bolt-action.
"I have thought about that. I think it would be good idea to keep them out of major fighting."

I'm curious, is there a reason why? There is one lever action, previously given to Undertoe
"If you insist. But that big mare is probably stronger than any of the riflemares you have there. And that colt is almost drafting age. He would be in junior crypteia in Nimbusia and well on his way to Phalanx. And in Equetsria... well a recruiter wouldn't care to correct him if he lied and said he was of age"

Right, got confused. Undertoe has the lever-action, Jubilosa gets the break-action, Khoi gets the pull-action, and White Sands gets the bolt-action.
"Hmm. Speaking of Loputu..."
Silver looks around for the colt.

He closes his eyes. His mane is kind of long, and he's a little fluffier than most ponies.
He looks up, and smiles at Silver
"I hope my parents think so"

"How though?"

Considering the battle ahead is coming, Iron turns to White Sands. "I remember you saying there was some magic health potions?" he asks

"Yes." She says
"Or at least I think that's what he found. Some drugs too. Opiates. You want me to swipe one?"

As the Stallion hugs the griffin, she carefully walks up behind him, undoes a latch on his bag, and with magic glow pulls out a tube, then another, looks at them, and then another. She then places the flap down, and walks back towards Iron, holding up a vile.
"Here's a 'Cure light wounds'. Do you need more?"

Gah! Scrunches
Welcome Back, Midnight!
Silver gave Meadows some changeling honey, which restored much of her strength and made her not so pathetic. Other creatures have been given rifles. Silver explored an infirmary and found some healing potions.
All of the creatures are in the hallway of the middle building on the second floor. They believe the cultists and their allies are upstairs
