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.
Damn it, I missed 123,000

>>124279Is Maakie's arm/forelimb exposed?
>>124280The one holding the revolver, I mean.
[1d20+12 = 26]>>124280His claw is, but part of his limb is underneath him

Another Zebra makes his way out of the stairwell
Crack Bang Crack Crack Bang Crack
[1d20+12 = 14]>>124282Disarm: Probably against his better judgement, Silver tries to use his greatsword to knock the revolver out of his claw again.
>>124284>>124285It pressed against his claw, but fails to break the grip
>>124278>>124268Iron and Midnight's turns

The Zebra is shot, twice, but limps on with bloody white clothes. He fires a shot towards Jubilosa
>>124293The Shot misses Jubilosa - barely, but the shot scatters into the wall, bouncing and spraying drywall around, causing Meadows to Whinny loudly and rear away, while Loputu jumps and moves down on the ground
[1d20 = 5]>>124293Dark Star fires an arrow at the zebra.
>>124295Unfortunately, this misses
>>124286Iron pulls his head up, drinking the potion in full while holding Maakie at his mercy as a move action.
[1d8+1 = 2]<HealSpitting the bottle off his mouth, he squeezes Maakie's neck with his thicc hindlegs, to the point of lifting his head up, as a non-lethal move.
[1d20+14 = 15]<Grapple Check[1d3
[1d20+10 = 12]>>124297Is the idea that it's harder for him to hit with his gun? It seems like it would be easier to just try to pull the gun
He fails to pull his head up, his hooves slipping. Maakie's head moves down, his eyes narrow, and he points his Magnum right at Iron
Bang >>124298>>124297In the moment his aim is not good. His bullet grazes Iron and draws blood
>>124298It's more of a strangle attempt>>124299>>124300"Mmmmf!" was the sound Iron let out, now visibly exhausted yet still resolute on ending this battle.
>>124295>>124291Silver, Midnight, or Dark Star
>>124298Midnight looks at Maakie, and chooses to sunder the gun with her sword.
[1d20+9 = 15] [6d20 = 66]>>124301>>124303>>124304The gun is struck by Midnight's sword, and then knocked out of his claw by Silver
Maakie is not out nor tied up. But he can't fight back now
Rifles and pistols cackle as more shots fly towards the Zebra
[1d20 = 1]>>124306>>124307>>124304>>124301Bullets richochet against walls, causing disturbing sounds, but the Zebra is shot in the head and falls
Roll luck
>>124307>>124301"Hold him still, Iron, so we can tie him up!"
[2d5 = 5]>>124308>>124311>>124310"Gack!"
Maakie is hit with a ricocheting bullet
>>124308[1d20 = 10]<Luck>>124309Iron grunts something unintelligble, barely holding on through animalistic rage as he growls, squeezes and lays on top of Maakie.
>>124313>>124311Maakie is not tied up, and can certainly wiggle his way out
[1d20+4 = 17]>>124314Use Rope: Silver intends to correct that.
>>124315The good news: There is rope on him
The bad news: He's not the type to stay in bonds
>>124316>>124313>>124310Silver looks to his companions after the deed is done.
"Alright, so: leave him here while we advance and hope he does not escape, or deal with him before we go any further?"
[1d20+12 = 24]Maakie tries to wiggle out of rope
>>124317Loputu
"I know how to tie knots"
>>124318Silver tries to help keep Maakie pinned, seeing him attempt an escape.
"Go ahead, Loputu, we have him!"
>>124319>>124319>>124313Iron and Silver can, and should, roll mutually assisting Pin checks as Loputu does his work
Loputu:
"You have to tie down a hook to keep it from coming off. It's a smaller object and smaller rope, sure, but it's a similar principle. And boats.. those need to be tied to the pier as well. I've learned a few things"
[1d20+7 = 17]>>124320Silver nods to Loputu to use the rope and tie Maakie up.
"Good colt. Show us what you can do."
[1d20+12 = 20]>>124322>>124321Maakie tries to wiggle out
>>124323>>124322>>124321Maakie wiggles, but fails to break out
Loputu places rope around his forelimbs
"Here is what is called aa 'cleat hitch' knot. It's useful for tying a boat to mooring."
He goes to the rear legs and ties those
"Now let's do a 'Figure eight' knot. This is a very strong knot, though more complicated. Also good for mooring. Let's see him try."
Then he ties his fore limbs to his rear limbs
"Now this is what is called an 'anchor tie'. Used to tie rope to anchors, as teh name suggests."
He ties the wings for good measure in a figure eight knot
"There. That should be secure, I think"
Maakie's six limbs are tied down, the rear legs and forelegs together
>>124324All the while, Iron can be seen breathing heavily, still affixed to the beaked fellow and squeezing him, looking around for anything at all that may oppose him and his goals.
>>124325Maakie is heavily injured and tied down. Both of his Zebras are out or dead, and no other enemies remain. Iron feels woozie
>>124324Silver looks impressed at Loputu's display of rope tying skill. He smiles at the colt and pets him on the top of his head.
"Huh...impressive. Perhaps you need to teach me those someday."
>>124326Iron, still trying to hold onto his rage, jumps off Maakie, staggering on the landing, before falling down. Impressively, he can be seen crawling ever so slowly towards Sands, using his forelegs to propel himself forwards.
>>124327"Thanks. Maybe someday"
Loputu has a giant smile. He is pet, with his eyes and head gong up in joy
