Up in the North, the ponies have successfully found who, or rather, what was damaging the mine. But their quest is not over, as they go to look for the source of the trouble. In Baltimare, Iron, Silver, and Dark Star enjoy the fruits of defeating the cultists, while Midnight herds the remaining rescues.

She whinnies joyously, and prances about for a moment, before trotting over to the fabric section, where she pulls out a large set of threads, buttons, and many sheets of fabric, all in a speed as if according to a preordained plan. She gathers the sheets and places them on her back or in an increasingly cluttered aura of dark green magic. Then she looks back to Silver, as if she were a kid caught taking a cookie from the jar

She smiles, and then continues, adding sets of buttons, pewter and needles, before going to the counter. Her set of fabrics is so large the small unicorn’s magic cannot contain it all, and she has to use a shopping basket, which itself scarcely contains the large rolls. It looks like her other items have added another 37 bits onto the total, for 187 bits. Keskoo is prancing around

“They do not like to be seen, not likely. But it tells us about you”

The grey wolf walks forward
“There is no ‘Sa’be’, and there is no sign. This nest is the work of a bear”

Another wolf, speechless until now, contradicts him
“It does not smell like bear”
Irritated, he responds
“That is because it is days old and the needles are decaying. That is what it smells like in those conditions”

Thus, counting his 500 big donation, Silver has spent more than 1500 bits on this small, emaciated northern mare

He tells of a department store down the street with all of these things. Keskoo looks pleased to have a Singer sewing machine to call her own. Loputu knows he has been outclassed by Solver’s generous spending, though he hangs around.

So I'm making a first-level character, right? I would like to join up with another pc. I guess solo is okay as well but I kinda want to join up with one pc for some unexplained reason I can't explain.

What I mean is that is that okay, if I run around with a level one character, along side higher level characters? Can you manage encounter as such or should I increaase the level of the character, I don't really wanna do that though since I rather build my character but it also want to be with another pc.

The characters have all been at level 5, so a level 5 character would probably be more appropriate. A sorcerer is just fine.

Was there a particular PC you wanted to start with? There are several options, including perhaps starting with Sardonic Economist's character. Just tell me if you have a preference for more combat or roleplay heavy, or a certain sort of setting within the larger setting.

>>128289
Her eyes go very wide, and she pulls back ever so slightly
"He seems... knowledgeable of the area. A little young. Eager to help."

>>128291
I can manage encounters where characters are at different levels, at least so long as there is some excuse as to why an enemy would target the higher level character over the lower level. That should be very easy in the case of a sorcerer paired with a fighter, as of course they will want to target the closer fighter

They go into the department store, to find a large array of towels, bedsheets, and so forth. Keskoo shows that she at least knows what modern silverware is, but she doesn’t seem to have much understand of what a full set for an apartment looks like . Loputu goes forward, helping to select a set for her. Keskoo and Loputu later look at bed coverings, with Keskoo favoring a blue set with an Ursa pattern

Loputu initiates a few words, mostly in the language of the northern ponies. In ponish, he asks about brothers and sisters, and Keskoo reveals that she has several, as does Loputu. She does not know what happened to all of them, though one went to “new Skynavia,” the band of which of course repulses Loputu, but he asks questions about what is going on there

There are indeed a number of bath towels of varying degrees of fluff. Silver could even buy gloves if he wanted to

I can the same time as everyone else. Will play tomorrow if the character is finished by then and if you have time. I have no preference for anyone particular yet so give me some of both. No my character is a nobody. Her famly has been compltetely uneffected by whatever conflict is going on in your world. She is out in the world, looking for love andd finding a stallion she can drag back home and get her father's blessing in marriage for. She is unicorn as well, therefore sorcerer. She used to entertain the all the children with her illusion spells. And she just gets swept up in all this adventure.

I mean what the character is going to do. I guess the simple solution is to have the character arrive at the train station in the city, and then explore until she finds where she wants to be, and then let events happen.

Silver presumably grabs a version for ponies. The store contains a variety of home items, including fancy equipment like toasters, as well as shampoo, sponges, plungers, and bedroom items like sheets, pillows, and blankets

There is a whole set of shampoo for fur and feathers. Some extra strength, some for more delicate fur, and some having various smells to it. He can even find one with a hint of lavender smell

Hmm...not knowing which would be best for his fur, he grabs a nice selection. He also grabs a couple for feathers for Jubilosa's use.

Silver grabs more shampoo than even he, floofy pony that he is, could really use in six or months. But given that he's basically entered the business of refugee ressettlement of diverse creatures, it's hardly overboard. Maybe he even wants some extra strength shampoo for the fluffy but natural smelling Mala... or for himself, the next time he gets covered in diesel fuel or swamp mud. And maybe some for a scalier creature, like Khoi Lua.

But certainly, Silver and any feathery females have their selection
