"Of course," he answered before looking back at the griffon accountant in question "you're free to stay here while your employers come back."
With that said, he removed his foreleg from him and turned around, starting to walk towards the exit of the room, hoping to go straight to the Royale and see what's this minotaur's like.

Iron leaves easily enough from the building. As promised, the building is only a few streets away. It's a free standing building, unlike so many packed into small lots or as part of larger structures in the city. Seems to be one floor, with a high, gradually sloping red tile roof. Outside are several carts, and two automobiles. None especially stand out.

The restaurant has a vestibule, which Iron can go through, and see that it has a long counter on the right towards the back, a couple doors in the back, a counter in the front off to the left of where they enter, and some number of tables, with a couple booths recessed in by the walls. Tables are a lighter wood color, while booths have a red tint on their leather seats. There is no hostess, at least not at this time of day, and there a low - but definitely present - number of customers. They are all ponies, and sit around at one booth and a few tables. Two servers are seen, who move quickly and look uneasy

Iron raised an eyebrow at the servers' uneasy look, feeling Koptis has already been dispatched.
(No minotaur yet,) he noted as he decided to simply take a seat on one of the tables alongside Sands. (The queasy ponies should probably know about him.)

Approaching the telephone office from whinny to , there is a crafts store, then the post office, and then after another 60 feet, the telephone office. Staying close on the side walk close up puts the ponies out of the line of fire of the machine gun, but it’s perfectly visible to anyling looking down from the roof, and there are several creatures on the roof with rifles. It’s one thing to approach without being shot at by the machine gun, and another to not be noticed or shot at at all. There are perhaps 5 or six helpers on the roof. The roof is approximately 11 or 12 feet above the ground. Just getting to the Whinnyton side without being shot may be an issue, if it requires crossing Old Mecc - which the machine gun is set up to shoot down

Silver finds himself at a small building that has a liquor store underneath, and a residence above. He is across Old Mecc Road from where he wants to be - a barber shop, with a residence above. Does he have the rifle section get in place, cover fire, and run across, or does his group move further away so they can go around the long way to get into the building from Main street?

It's a short flight of stairs up to an enclosed hallway. There is a door to the left. Silver finds that this door likewise is broken, simply opening. Silver enters into a living room with a couch and a radio, as well as a potted plant and a painting of a mare lying on a couch.. On the right side is a small kitchen. On the right side away from him is a little area with a dining table, and two windows, one of which faces old mech and another faces towards the telegraph office. Silver's group may or may not be visible from that window just standing near the kitchen. On the side opposite Silver is a wall, with a door and a room there, and then on the left side, a couple doors and a wall

Mind you, it isn't verified that these are actual changelings, given the pony appearence and Equestrian uniforms and equipment. Silver can see the machine gun is aiming and firing in the direction of the duplec, with one machine gunner who is trying to stay low on the gun, and an assistant feeding a belt. In front of the gun is a pony with a rifle who is crouching down. There are two rifleponies(?) on the right, keeping down, but trying to peak up occasionally in the direction of Old Mecc. One is to the right and is kneeling with his rifle at the Duplex. Another alleged pony tries to move over to the right, to maintain a view down main.

This is 5 creatures with rifles in total, and two directly handling the machine gun

It's simple enough to prop the end of the gun up on a chair or move the table and set up the bipod, with a little room for the assistant machine gunner to change the magazine - a nice earth pony and unicorn pair, each playing to their strengths. But two things are notable. One, the windows are closed, and who knows if they can be opened without being seen or heard. The first shot might just have to be through the glass. Second, there is only one window facing the post office in the dining room

Silver opens the door in the room. This looks to be a bedroom, and a comparatively small one. There is a bed on the right that is perpendicular to the entryway with the covers pulled down, a stuffed Ursa toy lying on its side by the ground, a metal toy dump truck near the entrance, a dresser with a couple ropes and some pieces of paper (maybe tickets) on the wall to the left of the door, and on the right wall is a small closet with both doors open, and several items of clothing torn down and on the floor.

What Silver is really looking for is a window. And there is one. Rectangular, with shades half way down, approximately center, and located just beyond the bed, in an area perhaps three and a half feet where somepony could walk. There is a lamp on a small table in the left corner.

Looking into the next room, Silver can see a long and thin bath room, with a sink nearer and a bathtub, then toilet further away. Just above the toilet is a window, which logically should face towards the post office.

The room after that is accessed by a door at the end of the hallway. Entering into this room, there is a long wall facing Main that has a few windows, and a Queen sized bed with the covers down up against the wall opposite the telephone exchange. There is a painting of what looks like an urban cafe in some up-scale location (Canterlot?) on the wall. There are two dressers to the right of the door and on the opposing side, on each of which is a framed black and white photograph. One looks to be of a unicorn couple with a colt, and another of the same three unicorns, with the colt holding a lasso at what appears to be a rodeo. There is a closed door to a closet near the bed, to the left of the entry door. On the ground, between the bed and the dresser, is a revolver with the cylinder open. It looks to be a magnum. There are several cartridges next to it, with perhaps one loaded in the cylinder.

On the wall opposite of the bed is a larger window. It faces the telephone exchange.

It's entirely possible for the ponies to move the dressers next to the wall, though perhaps a bit difficult to do in extremely short time.

Looking in the closet is a rain coat, and more than one white laboratory coat. There are a few types of shoes, both formal and for mud.

Silver is somewhat perplexed as to why the magnum was left here in its current state. It looks like it was dropped in the middle of loading. As for the dressers, as long as it doesn't take 10 minutes, they likely have enough time to move them.
