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.

He says
>>123322"Then I will just need one thing in return."
>>123321>>123318"Well it's uh.... It's Nickel and Dime I owe money to. On 74 Old Cross."
>>123323He looks up, concerned
"If it's money, I don't have it"
>>123324"Ok see that's something I can punch >:3"
>>123319"Yes... talk"
>_><_< >>123325"Just so long as I'm not the one getting punched"
He turns his head somewhat
>>123324"I am going to need you to go to the church and apologize to the Father."
>>123326>>123327"Yes a good idea, you need to repent!"
*whispers* "did I say that right?"
>>123328>>123327His muzzle is tight together in a scrunch
"Mmmm - Mmmm"
>>123330*gets annoyed at his hesitation*
"Stamps both hooves on the floor and spreads my wings wide"
"REPENT SINNER, WE HAVE COME TO SAVE YOU BUT CELESTIA HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES IF YOU DO NOT REPENT YOU WILL BE IN AS MUCH TROUBLE IN LESS THAN A FORTNIGHT, YOUR SOUL DAMNED AND YOUR LIFE IN TATTERS! REPENT! REPENT!"
>>123330"The Father is experienced in helping ponies change their lives and getting back on their hooves. Celestia believes in second chances and so do we. If you don't do this, you will wind back in this same situation, but we won't be able to help the next time."
>>123331Gah!
He falls down to the ground, tries to inch back, places his head against the ground and places both forelegs over his face
"Alright! Alright! I repent! I repent!"
And a visit from Best pony for the GET >>123335>>123334Well, he's sulking on the floor now. Fallen under the weight of his own vice.
BLUE SKIES IS BEST PONY AND SHE WILL LET YOU KNOW IT >>123336*leans over and whispers*
"I read that in the book I gave you, I dunno what most of those words mean maybe you should say something" >>123336Sunny walks over.
"It will be ok Clover. Just go to church and we will make it all better."
>>123337She pats his head.
>>123338"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
He is still cowing on the floor, occasionally trembling
>>123339"Good. Then there is nothing to worry about."
>>123337"Ready to go Adrian?"
*begins to head to the door*
"We should hunt these guys down and persuade them to stop being dicks"
>>123342"Just... make them keep away. Solve it. Please."
>>123342"First we have to offer to solve it the peaceful way. Though something tells me that they won't be so rational."
She follows Adrian out the door.
>>123344"Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy, but I'll follow your lead."
*cracks his neck*
>>123344>>123345They go out, and are on their way. Despite the changes in buildings they are not very far from Sunny Ray's house. Yet they go further still, through the center of town past commercial district, into an area of shops to 74 Old Cross. They come into what seems to be a restaurant and bar
>>123346Rapscallion?
>>123348*I put my hoof out to stop Sunny*
"Hey promise me if it gets bad you'll get out fast, I don't want anything happening to you"
>>123348"Hmm... do you think he meant this place?"
Sunny heads closer to the restaurant.
>>123350It's not a bad establishment. There is a new sign over the door, the Fall Harvest, and a dark brown lacquer over the exterior. Going inside, there is a bar off to the left and seating over to the right
>>123351She looks around for somepony that looks to be the boss, most likely surrounded by some goons.
>>123353>>123352No one immediate, instead a mare of a whiteish color and orange mane comes up in a black jacket.
"Can I serve you today?"
I am being ignored and I do not like it
>>123354"Not now, but thank you. We are looking for somepony."
>>123355What? What's wrong?
>>123349I PUT MY HOOF OUT TO STOP SUNNY AND HAVE A FUCKING MOMENT BEFORE SHE WALKED INTO THE GOD DAMN BUILDING
>>123355I'm sorry. I missed that post. I honestly didn't mean to.
>>123349"I promise Adrian."
She kisses his cheek.
"Just promise me you will be careful if you do have to fight."
>>123361*blush*
"Aw shucks u know I can kick a bull through a wall..."
*he paws the dirt*
>>123362"These ponies might have guns though. They aren't in it for honor either. Don't let them make a move."
She steps closer.
>>123363"Nothin will happen to me I promise, I'll kick the guns out their hands and knock em over with a gust of my mighty wings"
*he puffs himself up as he says this and spreads his wings out*
>>123364She giggles.
"Alright big guy. If you say so."
She smiles and stares into his eyes for a moment.
>>123365*he bites his lower lip and stares down at her*
"You remember when we were kids and I couldn't fly and I wasn't good at school stuff and the other kids would make fun of me, so you told em off and stuff?"
>>123366"Of course. What about it though?"
>>123367*breathes deep, he can smell her she's so close*
"I started getting strong then, because I always wanted to be the one who protected you"
>>123368She blushes.
"You always have, haven't you? If I didn't know better, I would have guessed Celestia herself sent you."
>>123371*takes a step closer*
"I aint one of them smart stallions what can talk with pretty words, but I've always cared about you, I just always wanted to be good enough for you"
