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

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.

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

Loputu moves s large number of items from his back to the counter. It’s 120 bits in total, counting Silver’s gloves and the shampoo. That may sound like much, but it includes a set of silverware, bedsheets and covers, bathroom supplies, a few pots and pans, and items like a full lamp

Keskoo:
“In my home we had an oil lamp that we had to light with a match, and be careful not to turn it over. It had a slight smell to it. This ‘electric’ lamp is like something only the wealthier had. Even my apartment in the town had a lightbulb. But no lamp.”

My father says he had siblings who died from such fevers and other diseases, and he thinks the doctor's medicine made the difference.

My AC for this character is 10 unless she has a size modifier of being small. I haven't decided yet if she should be small. Probably.
Equipment:
A brown claok and a saddlebag with only a pouch of money in it.
She is purple/pink with dark purple eyes, and a light brown mane.

A parchment rolled up into a small cone.
A bit of fleece.
A clear crystal or mineral prism.
A short piece of copper wire.
A bit of wool or a small lump of wax.
An eyelash encased in a bit of gum arabic.(wtf)

My cat doesn't have more then the first level. Let's say she just got it so I don't have to look to deeply into it.
He is feckled black with a white fur on his paws and on his neck like a bib.
Appearenly at first level he has these features: Alertness, improved evasion, share spells, empathic link.
Int 6.
Armor Adj. +1 Which is something I don't care about finding out right now.

So, his name is Slogo and her name is Fantasy Play.

Fantasy Play steps out of the coach train car onto the concrete platform of Union Station, Baltimare. The steam easing out of the locomotive covers much of the platform in a mist, making the whole experience feel a bit like stepping through a misty veil, and it is indeed a new world beyond. The platforms have vualted glass ceilings above, and entering further into the station, she finds halls and shops and newspaper stands, all under ceilings of glass and stone, with neo-classical columns decorating the far walls, and marble floors with the names of the large Equestrian cities inscribed into them.

He pulls the bit to himself, and slides over the map

Fantasy Play can see the city of Baltimare and surrounding communities. Baltimare is on the western shore of Horseshoe Bay, with harbors and industrial areas on the eastern side, The commercial district in the center and towards the west, and the city generally older and denser nearer the waterfront.

The city drops off into wild land fairly quickly south of the Hayseed River. To the North is the Eclipse gulf, a peninsula sticks out to the east and forms the northern shore of Horseshoe bay, between the bay and the eclipse gulf. To the west, a series of smaller towns and farms line up against the shore

"Well, you know. They invaded some small griffin state, one of those that was left from the fall of the Griffonian Empire. Of course the Princess didn't like such aggression. The Princess wanted to show that she would stand by non-pony states, as a way of getting them to convert to her idea of Harmony. Equestria didn't do very much in the war, outside of helping The Aquilean Republic fight against them. Equestrians were surprised to see them invade in boats from across the sea. I don't think the Princess wanted to make peace on any terms that didn't see them leaving the territory of griffin lands they occupied, or even becoming an Equestrian vassal again. And by the time they were in Manehattan, I don't think they felt much like negotiating."

Going through one of the several revolving doors, Fantasy Play finds her way on a set of stone steps down from the train station to the sidewalk. A four story brick building with a rounded corner - what Fantasy can identify as the Hinnyton - is on the corner of a street beyond. Many of the buildings are three or so stories, adjacent to stone and paved streets. Carts travel down the streets, as do one or two of a strange mechanical device she may or may not have seen before - automobiles.

"Hmm...maybe. I know how lonely living alone can get, but unlike me, you have benefit of friends and neighbors. Loputu and I are always available if you want to spend time with somepony, and you might be able to get to know and befriend some of your neighbors."

"That is true. This is at least a community of ponies like me.... I wonder how many Cubrians there are here. How many from Everfrost before me..." She looks a little sad or disturbed for a moment, as she looks away.

Then she looks back up to Silver
"But yes. I have neighbors"

"Oh, boy, Slogo. We sure aren't in Nuzzleville anymore," she says as she avoids getting hit by carts and walks up to the hotel.

If nothing gets in the way of it, I would like my character to enter the hotel, hire a room fo the night, take a glass of water and rest with her cat in the room's bed for while.

I don't have more time to play today so this way time can pass in the game world and i won't be out of sync with the other players when I play tomorrow.

Done. Done. And done. 35 bits. It gets her a clean enough room with a nightstand, a bed, and strange mechanical device in the corner. It also has its own bathroom. The bed covers and pillows are plain and white, while the wallpaper is pinkish with a floral pattern. It's a close enough for a recreation of Nuzzleville

Alright, I'll see you!

If he's still present, Silver tries to subtly use head movements to suggest Loputu go and hug/comfort Keskoo.

"And I am here" He goes over to her, and proceeds to place a foreleg around her in a hug. When this action seems to surprise her, he moves a little further away, though still in physical contact.
"And yes. There are Cubrians. Not many. But some. Perhaps I could introduce you to some? Hmmm?"

"Maybe" She says, letting herself ease and come closer to him
"I think of those who were like me.... but who were not as lucky"

The smile that Loputu wore to try to comfort her fades
"I do too..."

The two fall into a hug, though they are far from comforted
Loputu:
"We are here though. Let us make it count."

They sit there for several moments, with Keskoo making breathing sounds that sound like light crying. It's almost interesting, with Loputu's almost black coat contrasting starkly against her pure white, and with the colt clearly larger than the small mare. She does eventually break away, though not far enough away to keep Loputu from having one foreleg on her

Loputu stands up, looking back to Silver. Keskoo goes next

Keskoo asks:
"Where can we find you if we need to?"

Loputu, for some reason, seems to express displeasure towards Silver even as Silver offers to help. Keskoo pulls away, still smiling brightly. It's almost surprising how agile this little mare appears to be after how under-strength she was last night. She wants to thank him, but it seems she cannot find the words, so she simply gives him a big smile.

"You feel free to play around with your new sewing machine, or look around the area. I will be back soon to hep you meet new ponies. But not yet. I'm looking to get a stake in that boat, and i know I've got to clean it out many times before that happens."

He nods.

"I am 68 years old, Loputu, going on 69 in just couple months. My whole life until this point has been dedicated to ways of warrior. I do not know how much longer I will have before my body begins to fail me, or how long until I end up in either Tartarus or Elysium for my actions in this mortal plane. I did what I did today because it was right thing for me to do, and because I want to do some good in this world while I still have time. But you? You are 17. Your whole life is ahead of you. You have plans to own boat and travel oceans and seas. You are smart, funny, kind..."

He strokes the fur on his muzzle with a forehoof.

"...and you have all those good looks I lack. You are far better for her than I ever could be."

He smiles, then lights up his horn. A stack of paper notes, totalling 500 Bits, is levitated towards Loputu for the taking.

"Here. Maybe I can help you little bit."
