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.

>>124576Getting slightly frustrated and maybe blaming in his head the dastardly magic 'potion', Iron tries his luck once more.
[1d20+12 = 16]<I can't believe I keep forgetting the bonus drug >>124581Huzzah, the zeeb is denied it's dex bonus to AC for Midnight's next attack.
Can I take that attack now, or do I wait until next turn?
>>124578>>124582The gnoll wobbles, and then Mala swings. He cuts right through teh front of her neck. Blood gushes out, and she falls down forward. Dead.
Roll initiative to enter a different combat next turn
>>124584Midnight's turn
>>124583Iron hits the Armor, and...
Clang!His hoof bounces off
[1d20+4 = 11]>>124585Iron looks like he needs help.
>>124589Finally.Iron proceeds to do his thing to trip up the griffon down, specially considering his armor.
[1d20+16 = 23]<Trip Attempt [1d20+2 = 12]>>124586>>124587She is hit, and run right through with the sword. She falls to the ground
In the crowd, a white robed, turban wearing creature approaches, with the mongoose like face and triangle ears of a Kaftar Gnool.
He raises his scimitar in the air
"Tawusê Melek, give me the strength to kill your enemies"
>>124590Success
He is knocked down
He tries to get back up
Attack of opportunity [3d20 = 36]
Crackle, crackle crackle
[3d20 = 37]
Crackle Crackle crackle
[1d20+8 = 24]>>124593He wins, and attacks with the scimitar, with red light glowing around him
"Rûmet ji Tawûsê Melek re!"
[1d20+8 = 28]>>124595Attack of opportunity does not succeed
I'm not sure Iron can attack again quite that quickly
>>124588Silver may attack now. So can Dark Star
[1d20 = 1][1d20+8 = 13]>>124598Silver attempts an overhead swing on the griffon knight.
Dark Star fires an arrow at the gnoll attacking Midnight.
>>124599Neither hits, and the string flies forward as the arrow stays in place
[1d20+6 = 21][4d6 = 13]Two bullets hit the Knight, though likely before he was tripped
>>124597It slices into Midnight
It's the +6, probably on top
[1d20+7 = 23]>>124601>>124603He reels from the kick, and is also shot. But he's not out. He attacks Iron again
>>124603I guess that's better?
Midnight winces in pain, down to 20 HP as she strikes
S
[1d20+7 = 18]D
[1d20+7 = 15] >>124601>>124599Iron and Silver may attack
As can Dark Star
>>124609Of course, Iron attempts to start a trip once more.
[1d20+12 = 16]<Melee Touch Attack [1d20+8 = 18][1d20 = 19]>>124609Same as before: Silver strikes at the knight, this time swinging from the left side.
Dark Star looses the arrow he meant to fire last time at the gnoll attacking Midnight.
[1d20+8 = 17]>>124608Takes 7 damage
He attacks again, not yet out, and still glowing
"Hebûna we li dijî Sura Xudê ye!"
[2d6 = 3]>>124610Hit
>>124611Hit and Hit
Rolling damage on the gnoll
>>124613As we've done before, from the beginning...
[1d20+16 = 33]<Trip Attempt There is a sound of fire, explosion, and screams behind
No attacks on player characters
>>124617Iron bonks the enemy on their tripped head in response.
[1d20+12 = 17]<Improved Trip Extra Attack >>12461713 HP....
Midnight look a little frightened now as she slashes again
S
[1d20+7 = 18]D
[1d20+7 = 20] >>124624He is stabbed, wobbles queasily, and then falls down
>>124625>>124616Iron kicks him, and he flinches. Then Silver's sword comes in, penetrates the armor and leaves a stream of blood. He falls down, limbs at odd angles
>>124626Silver looks around, either for the next thing to fight, or the source of the screams.
>>124627>>124626Midnight sighs with relief as her amulet glows blue, before little tendrils of light creep around her.
Lay on hooves, boosting her health from 13 to 23.
>>124626Iron wobbles slightly over the extended amount of damages he's racked up, but he still has that smile one him and he eagerly clip clops in place, looking for his next opponent.
[2d20+1 = 11][2d20 = 10]>>124628Behind them, it looks like Boek has launched fire balls or something to that effect on the support crew. Hard o say exactly
>>124629A pony and a griffin, each holding knives, run for midnight
Roll for initiative
>>124628>>124625Oreo:
"I'll kill you, pony!"
Yeager join in as well
Roll for initiative
[1d20+4 = 18]>>124631"I am going to turn your soul into Cerberus's chew toy!"
[1d20+8 = 22]>>124635Silver stabs forward into Oreo.
>>124640Iron proceeds to turn his tail and buck Oreo right on his face, obviously powered up and wanting to remove his stain off his sight.
[1d20+7 = 12]<Powered Melee Strike [1d20+5 = 11]>>124642Oreo
barely moves aside
>>124641He's seriously hurt
But not out
He stabs Silver, or tries to
[1d20+5 = 14]>>124642>>124643Yeagar attacks Iron with a dagger
[1d20+8 = 20]>>124643Oreo's sword glances off of Silver's armor, doing nothing.
Silver stabs Oreo again.
>>124647Iron, obviously seeing Oreo is going to be taken out by Silver, turns towards Yeagar and decks his/her cheek with a foreleg with power.
[1d20+7 = 11]<Powered Melee Attack Roll [1d20+5 = 8]>>124647Silver runs him trough with his sword
He looks out, his eyes still with vengeful fury.... It slowly fades.
He falls to the ground when Silver pulls his sword out
>>124648Does not hit
Yeagar swipes at Iron again
[1d6+1 = 6][2d4+2 = 10]>>124637>>124639I'll roll damage for the absent Midnight
[1d20+8 = 15]>>124649Silver speaks as Oreo slowly dies.
"I know pony who killed your brother. If you could not kill me, you could not kill him."
Silver turns to Yeagar, and stabs him in turn.
Iiron 8
Silver 20
Midnight 23
>>124651His eyes light up
"
You"
>>124651Hit
>>124648Iron can try for Yeagar again
>>124649No hit.
Iron tries his maneuver again.
[1d20+7 = 13]<Powered Melee Attack Roll >>124656>>124657Yeagar is bucked right in the chest, then stabbed through. He flies back and bleeds out, almost like a ragdoll, with no chance for final words
>>124658Should we stop here, and wait for Midnight to come back to finish?
>>124659Actually, have Dark Star make an attack at one of the creatures attacking Midnight
Then pause
[2d6 = 7]>>124663The griffin is stabbed by Midnight. Twice. Then shot with an arrow, is shocked, and falls down
Midnight stabby stabbys
S [1d20+7 = 17]
D [1d20+7 = 17]
[1d20+4 = 7]>>124665And now that I think about it, the pony was supposed to have an attack before Midnight
>>124665Hit Hit
[1d20+4 = 6]>>124667She is hurt, and staggers. Nevertheless,
she persists Should Silver roll Initiative to join, or...?
>>124669He can, although in theory this battle is going on as Silver and Iron are fighting Oreo and Yeager
>>124672Both hit, though the dagger only barely.
Roll damage
>>124674A stab in the chest, a slice on the lower jaw...
And she falls down
Midnight has defeated the immediate challenges
>>124675Silver looks over at Boek, his sword red with the combined blood of three opponents.
"Are you going to send more of your followers to their death, or are you going to stop being coward?"
[3d20 = 26][3d20 = 23][3d20 = 13]>>124677>>124676>>124657Through the western, street-side glass ceiling, a new light shines in the room, shining red alternating red and blue and lighting up the opposing, seaside eastern wall
The cultists, still dressed in their robes, have stood back, away from the hounds of tartarus and the battle before them. So far, it appears that Mala spoke true when he said that the city folk would be less motivated to fight. Only Boeks closest associates, the two caught in the act of attempted murder, and two foolish creatures, have yet fought back. The cultists look at the lights with anxiety and concern, as surely as for the ponies that have killed in front of them.
But a new whisper fills the room, and the shaking, head turning cultists in so many cases freeze in place, as if in a still photographic image. Then several turn their heads to the ponies, eyes glowing, and pull out their knives.
Boek's horn glows blue, same as his staring eyes. Silver has his answer
Roll for initiative
>>124678Iron creaks his neck. "Time to sleep, gullible ones!" he exclaims.
[1d20+2 = 11]<Initiative [1d20+4 = 8]>>124678"If Maar wants his sacrifices, so be it."
Silver levels his sword at the possessed cultists.
"He will get them."
>>124679>>124680>>124681Wait
Preference for type of enemy?
Ponies, griffins? Machettes versus knives?
>>124682Obviously, Iron wants the civvies turned mindless knife zombies. Not much aside from that.
