Iron, in turn, firmly yet gently places his hoof on the griffon's feathery chest to stop him as he was walking away. "Is something the matter?" he asks coldly, glaring at the griffon.

Silver nods, sadly.
"Yes, it is shame...I do not know where those we recovered are now, but I hope there are someplace safe."

Iron glances at the griffon sternly, keeping his hoof on his chest through sheer strength. "So you are part of the Ginovicci family," he concludes, wondering how he would react at such an accusation.

"It seems I will get to properly start the ceremony with you," Iron answers as he takes off his hoof, craning his neck and standing up before giving the griffon a challenging glare, stancing himself for a fight "I will give you a taste of what the real owners of these lands have to offer."

Iron quickly moves his body away from the first griffon by 20ft, patiently waiting with a fighting stance while tracking his eyes to the second griffon. "Go ahead," he taunts "try me."

The first griffin stands in the same position until the second is beside the first. He too, has some kind of weapon in his claw, though it looks more like an improvised club
"Get the fuck out of here'!"

Iron tilts his head, seeing the griffons telling him to go away instead of actually attacking him before shrugging softly and planting his hoof on the ground, grinding his frog against the floor. "Or what?" he demands in a stoic manner.

Iron smiles devilishly, looking down at the two griffons. "Perhaps you need to be reminded of who really owns this place," he taunts, keeping himself still.

"I will be sure to give you some good bruises to show off!" Iron exclaims before charging forth, opting for a quick hoof of his front hoof to test the switch-blade wielding griffon's defensive skills, obviously intent on knocking/incapacitating rather than killing him.[1d20+10 = 28]<Unarmed Strike

"Huh? Oh, yes I am" he says, looking up at Silver. His voice is even higher than Feather Duster's. He seems smaller, and older as well, though younger than Grant or Peer Review, and Faucet is closer in age to any of the three graduate students than Grant or Peer Review

Iron's hit lands in the chest, there is an "umph," he staggers back a little, but his hind leg catches on a plank, he stumbles and falls to the side, with a claw over the side of the pier. he does not get up.
The second griffin looks disconcerted, but still encouraged by the injuries to Iron, and he swings at Iron again with his small metal pipe.

"Well uh, there's a remains of a few equines on the floor, bullet cases, and uh some clothes from an older time periods. It's rather disgusting as the flesh is all mumified. It still has a bad smell to it. And over there is uh, there's a, it's like a burial niche or something. Looks like this site has been pretty disturbed, many times.

"Before us, most recent time it was disturbed was in War, when Equestrians troops were chased inside by New Marelander troops."

"Tell your family to better watch their step on these lands," Iron proclaims as he approaches the griffon "or else they will incur the wrath of many like me."
Having said that, he decides to give the beaked felow a boop to their beak, followed by a swift nonlethal punch to their chest.

As the building seems to use revolving doors, there is no door pony per se. But entering through the brass trimmed door, Amber sees herself in the lobby, an atrium of at least three stories with black marble walls and tile floors. In the center on the lower level is an elevator bank, to each side are halls that enter under brass doorways to the other two rectangular sections. There is at least one cafe, over to the left. On the wall of the atrium is a nautical map of the world, with Baltimare marked out, and a number of routes across the oceans. To the left are a set of counters with more than one young mare behind them, with their manes pulled back. Above them on the high walls are images of tall masted sailing clippers. To the right are a couple black uniformed guards

Amber widens her eyes in shock as she is quite out of her element here. Indeed the very walls resemble the descriptions of the towers of powerful mages in old legends.
Whoever lives here has got to be really rich…
She trots up to the closest counter and meekly asks, "Hello, may I…may I have a look around?"

Entering into this area is a small coffee shop and what looks like cafe serving sandwhichs, salads and the like, as well as another smaller set of elevators. There is also a utility room, and a room that seems to be related to security, but that's further back in the hall on the lower level. Most floors are tile, with walls that are sometimes painted white, but are marble in more prominent public areas, such as a pink marble around the elevator bank

"It looks like there's several layers of events here. There's a much older fight, one that took place in the eighth or so century, and one in modern times, at least. There's a crypt here, and an older skeleton, I think"

"Oh, well that's very good. Uh, when we are uh handling a normal dig, like a ruined wall or something, there is usually layers of dirt that provide context to each find. Like if there's a coin or something in the one layer, thn you can uh, take a guess as to when that happened, or get a sense of when in relation to the other things. But here, everything is in one place. Modern stuff next to old stuff, and it really looks like this guy was taking stuff from many different places and times and putting it together right here. Like there's some skeletons of what looks like older indigenous ponies, then some other ones that look like they were dead before whatever... whatever this magical stuff here is, and then some that died right here. I mean it's like a crime scene with how everything is laid out, except it isn't like a crime scene, it's like several of them right here in the same space, and you got to figure out what is what. I'm sure Peer Review can figure it out. Especially if there is writings, or something. I just need to mark down where every little thing is found on the floor here."
>>131282
But how big is the backlash?
Besides the mail room - which is in the back, by the way, and Amber wouldn't have noticed it until later - there is a very curious addition. A small museum, which takes up part of the right rectangle, and the center square. A museum to the Tall Sails Shipping Company

"Yes, much of what occured here prior to modern times happened in eighth century.

"Oh, I can tell you much, young filly. This here is the headquarters of the Tall Sails Shipping Company, or the 'Tall Sails' building. Back at the end of the first millennium, the company needed a new, prominent headquarters for its operations and offices, and so decided to build right here, on the old sight of the telegraph offices just three blocks west of Flash Prance Plaza in the commercial district, next to the Celestial Ocean Insurance building, another one of Baltimare's few true Skyscrapers. CEO Strong Winds II commissioned the project and hired Architect Trace Line for the project. The plan they went with was a 38 story 528 foot tall three pronged structure, designed to resemble the three masts of a sailing clipper. Construction started in the Thousandth year after banishment, and was completed 13 months later, almost record time. It is one of the few true Skyscrpapers to be built in Baltimare, it is the tallest, and it is the last. I suspect it will hold that title for a while. In a way its fair. It was the Tall Sails Company more than any one single company that built this city from a fishing village into the industrial heart and capitol of the Equestrian Southeast. And so it is the tallest here as well. We have a cafe, a post office, a security station, and infirmary, and thousands of square feet of office space."

She's heard of the name before, but really she doesn't know anything else about the company. Considering how out of sight, out of mind something like international freight is, just knowing the name might be a sign of prominence. Baltimare, as Amber knows, is a manufacturing center for the region built on a natural harbor.
"Like a Palace, you could say that. Home of a King that rules over an ocean. Several oceans, really. But it's a palace no would be usurper dare disturb. Many have come this way. The Storm King's airships, the demoguage from across the sea, the anarchists in their little uprising. A petty dictator, a silver tongue and unruly mob. None dare touch this building, even if they consider it a symbol of 'international capitalism' which they hate. Just the sight reminds them of their place. They know their betters."

"Huh" He smiles nervously, then steps forward and puts up a hoof. There's an extended awkward scene as his hoof is left out. Finally, Mala leans forward and shakes his hoof with his own paw. Neither has a firm grip, and it falls quickly.

"Oh, no one lives here. This is commercial offices for the Tail Sails Company, and a few shared with Eclipse Gulf Insurance."
The photo seems to show crates of what look like fruit, specifically bananas, in the process of being loaded by a crew of ponies and a zebra. In the center of the photograph is a wharf, with a number of crates in the fore, and two ponies and a zebra leaning on the crates, at least pretending to be resting, but one sneaks his eyes towards the camera, which must have been placed not many feet away. To the far right is the edge of warehouse. To the left is a plank that leads up into a freight ship that mostly out of the photo to the left, with the plan extending up. Two stallions carry crates on their back on the plank. Just as the photo seems to focus on the workers. so does the plaque underneath, upon skimming it, talk about the dockyard workers of Baltimare, unionization and so forth.
