In the North, Spark has encountered a new tribe of creatures, who are eager to take him as an emissary between cultures. In the south, Iron sleeps off his wounds, with dreams of a new life for himself and a certain zebra. Silver tries to settle in those he saved from the cultists into their own lives. Fantasy play establishes herself in Baltimare, and she too, has encountered cultures unknown to her before. As they all search for normalcy, it remains to be seen just what dangers await beyond the horizon

>Correct, with the update ON the scroll stutters every ~10 posts
I'll do some more investigation to try to get down the time. It might be the load of the data from the server so little to do about it, but I will keep it in mind and do some testing. At least I have gotten it down from 2 sec freeze every 5 sec to under 100 ms (on test computer). So at lest it is significantly improved over how it was.

Yep, added this feature when I created the new code. It still should be theoretical possible for a normal user to hit the perfect zero ID. But getting it when modposting is nowhere near as spectacular compared to actually get it through the grace of math and magic.

Okay
This trip is once again making me wonder about the purpose of fiction is, when the real world so often outdoes it

Trip? Are you taking drugs or are you going somewhere? Maybe that's why good art imitates life.

Silver nods in understanding.
"Now, I do not mean to be rude, but reward for this information would be appreciated. Things such as this are how my partner and I make our living, and it was quite risk to acquire this information in first place."

If you do manage to survive, I wonder if you've watched Runesmith's videos, even if they are based on 5e.
He has a neat Hammacher-Schlemmer overview of non-magical equipment: https://youtu.be/doWAdSPfgdI
Also, here's inspiration for the next dungeon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_j24lraHIc

He pauses for a moment, looking solemnly at Silver. Then he answers
"Dear Sir, knowledge of what took place here is a public good. It was created by many creatures over many generations, and so too will it benefit many creatures over many generations. We are public servants and do not work for profit. It is our job to collect knowledge, and disperse it to the populous. The money we do have is mostly from donations or from public revenue, and is necessary for wages and essential expenses. Not many will pay much money for history, and those who would cannot, yet it has a value beyond that of money. Surely there is a spirit of generosity in you, to return to creaturekind what it created."

I've watched some of his videos. In particular his video on magic and worldbuilding has stuck with me.
It's probably worth noting that Silver has a large stock of ball bearings still
That's what the Canterlot vaults are like

Silver looks at him for a few seconds before sighing in submission.
"Very well. I would still request some form of compensation if you can provide it, if not Bits then something else. I do not lie when I say that tasks such as these are how we make our living."

He smiles in a way that is not entirely assuring
"I am sure some arrangement can be made"
They try to count out the letters and notes

Silver reluctantly nods at him.
"As for why I came here originally, if there is anything that you need help with here, be it corpse moving or what, I am here to help."
Silver reluctantly nods at him.

He looks up to Silver momentarily, pleased with the letters
"We were only hired for the Archaeological survey. But two of our professors, and two graduate students are down inside or nearer the structure. They could tell you."

"Thank you. Have good day."
Silver goes to seek out the professors he mentioned.

"Very well Have a good day" he says, with minimal enthusiasm. The green unicorn helper tries to pin down the pieces of the letters on the table, as Peer Review looks at him.
The better question is, how does Silver enter the catacombs, or approach it?

Looking down into the quarry, Silver sees two ponies. One is a greyish brown Pegasus Stallion, who is moving about in the open quarry, evidently moving things, and the other is a white unicorn stallion with a pith helmet, inspecting what seems to be a dead body. The water level is even lower than it was the day before, and from the water, many pieces of destroyed undead corpses show

Silver goes to the white unicorn stallion, offering a greeting to him.

The pegasus remains out in the water, while the unicorn looks up to Silver, with an expression of surprise. He wears a green jacket.
"Why hello there good sir. I am Dr. Grant, professor of Archaeology with Misty Tonic University"

Silver offers him a hoofshake.
"I am Silver Sword. I was pony who cleared this place of undead. I was wondering if you needed assistance with anything."
Silver offers him a hoofshake.

He looks down at the hoof for a moment, before finally reciprocating the shake. His grip is rather weak. Then he looks back up to Silver
"You cleared this place?! A Sonamubulan mummy from the second century BCE has been ripped to shreds!"

He gives Grant a sheepish smile.
"Heheh...I did not actually do *that*. Some bait I had put down to attract undead also attracted giant bird, who then proceeded to get into fight with mummy and other undead over bait. Needless to say, giant bird won."

"Well, I would have appreciated a less... destructive, method"
He looks around in the quarry

Iron nods, getting the picture. "Then I shall not detract from your training any longer," he answers with a smile and a nod "I will see what I can come up with in the meantime."

"Well…" she hesitates before speaking. "It was a hundred fifty bits…from a bar." She looks away, sheepishly.

She seems skeptical, but she nods
“... Alright. Good luck. It really will... I really do appreciate your help.”

“I’ve..... never heard of borrowing money from a bar... well, we sometimes try to help those who have large debts, but that’s mostly for those recovering from gambling addictions, or who have borrowed money from the mob...”

"Oh, please," Iron answers with a dismissive wave and a sheepish smile as he averts his gaze from Cauldron "do not thank my efforts until we reach your end goal."

Amber looks at Burn curiously. "No, I've never done gambling before. I've just had to pay the down payment for my apartment. I didn't borrow from a crowd either."

"I-I understand," Iron replies with the slightest red tints on his cheeks, rubbing his foreleg softly with his other frog "you do what you do best. Show her the magic that Zebrica can offer."

She shakes her head quickly. "No, no, I don't want to to burden you with any of this. It'll just take me a week or two to get back on my hooves, and I can do it alone. I just wanted to know what's possible."

“The rocks need to be moved aside to see what is under them. The remains need to be gathered to be burned or buried, and any kind of armor or clothing needs to be gathered for its historical value”
>>130854
“Well, I don’t know about magic... but I will show her food, and spices, because she’s pretty uneducated about that.” He smiles as if what she said were funny
>>130855
“Oh, alright. Well it’s always good policy to pay down your debts” he gives an overly big, kind of artificial smile

"Oh yes, I just wish I hadn't needed to take out any debts." She sighs. "Thank you for telling me all about the city though, that was really helpful," she says as she regains her smile.

Amber is able to walk out of the room, across stone and tile floor, towards the doors on the front. Amber can see there are a few holes in some of the stained glass windows on the front, and one of them is busted

He bids him goodbye for now before going to tackle the corpse issue.

As above the catacombs, there are canvases on the rocks. One has pieces of armor on it, and the other has legs, and portions of flesh that is best described as mummified. Some is wet and bloated, and some even smells. But most is Black and Tan colored flesh that looks almost like it’s been frozen. On one of the canvases, Silver can see a whole body - one he might recognize as Private Green Basin.
Silver can see pieces of corpses floating. There are few, if any whole corpses in the water, and the water is lower than he left it two days ago. Mala follows silver, ready to wade into the water
