>>158802The door swings open
“Damn raccoons. Be gone!”
A pony carrying a rifle - yes, a rifle - swings the door open, and steps outside.
Silver is able to move out of the way, but only just barely
>>158803When he's clear of the door, Silver closes it behind him, and points the shotgun at the back of the pony's head.
"There is 12 gauge shotgun pointed at base of your skull. If you do not want them picking out buckshot from your brainstem, you will not call for help and you will not move without my say-so. Understood?"
>>158805The pony moves without prompt. It’s a black unicorn stallion, kind of small.
“Hey, woah, woah. Can we talk about it? Heh heh…”
He does at least drop the rifle, and moves back. He has a wide, awkward smile.
>>158806Silver allows this movement, at least, as it's to his advantage. He keeps the shotgun levelled steady, and meets the pony's awkward smile with a hardened, determined glare. Silver keeps an eye on the stallion's horn to make sure he doesn't pull any magic shenanigans.
"Bargain Strength, is he here?"
>>158807Silver can see if the horn lights up, but it’s difficult to see what he does with it.
Roll for intimidate
>>158808>>158809“Hey. Look. I don’t know what’s goin’ on, but I got nothin’ to do with it.”
>>158810"You either work here or work for Bargain Strength, so you have whole hell of lot to do with it. Now, answer."
>>158811“Hey now listen.” He pauses. “I got no problem with you, okay, so calm down, put the gun down, and we can talk about whatever it is.”
>>158813"Or I can blow your head off, take key off your body, and go through each pony in that building until I get to him. You want to save those ponies? Save yourself? Talk."
>>158812>>158801When she's out of ear shot
"Alcohol probably isn't a good idea right now."
>>158814"Okay, okay. We'll talk. Uh, what do you uh, what do you want to know." He says
>>158815She raises up a hoof, and makes a waving motion.
"Oh, you're no fun. Waitress would have thought something was wrong if at least one of us didn't order alcohol, anyways."
>>158817"Bargain Strength, is he here now?"
>>158817"Yea that's me, Mr. No Fun"
I Chuckle
"Maybe she would have. maybe i'm just a little on edge."
>>158819"Just remember. When gunshots go off, or someone flashes a gun in front of a civilian, that's when the
real countdown begins."
>>158818"Well I uh, I uh, I don't always keep up with everything that he does, but uh..."
>>158820"I'm Ready for that. it's the waiting that's killing me."
[1d20+3 = (18+3) = 21]>>158820Sense Motive: Silver judges whether the stallion is lying.
"Bullshit, you either work for him or work for this place, and considering you had rifle I assume latter. This is hangout for him and his underlings."
>>158822Shit, meant to say former rather than latter.
>>158822It's pretty clear that the stallion is trying to give Silver as little information as possible.
"it's uh, do uh, you want to meet up with him?" He asks
>>158821"I don't think they even know you're here. You'll have time to react" She says
>>158824"He sent teams to hunt down, capture, and kill two ponies who are very close to me. You are going to bring me to him, we will have little private chat, and these teams will be recalled."
>>158824"Good, They won't know what hit them."
>>158827"Uh, okay. I'll, I'll walk right back in there" he says
>>158826"You will bring me to Bargain Strength, we will have private chat, we will come to agreement, and I will leave peacefully. If you do not, or if anyone interferes, I will kill you and everyone in my way to get to him. Understood?"
>>158829"That's alright, i can go on my own." he says, backing inside of the doorframe.
>>158830Silver aims at the stallion, ready to shoot.
"Not one more step."
>>158831He stops, his eyes wide open
>>158832"I said,
you will take me to him."
Silver steps towards the stallion.
>>158833"Uh... Alright... follow me" He says, starting to walk inside.
Very carefully.
>>158824Dark Star Glances around the resteraunt for any ways further into it.
>>158835There is a door to the kitchen, a back hallway (presumably this leads to the restrooms), and the staircase going upstairs
[1d20+3 = (15+3) = 18]>>158834Spot: Silver keeps aware of his surroundings as he follows
very carefully. He keeps his gun trained on the stallion.
>>158837Any ponies going in or out of that direction?
The pony takes silver inside, looks around, and then opens a door. This leads to a stairwell
>>158839One white earth pony mare... But mostly no
>>158841Does she look suspicious?
>>158841Silver follows. If the pony looks back at Silver, he will be able to see that he still keeps the shotgun trained on him.
>>158843He does indeed look back at him.
When they get up to the upper level, they enter into a small hallway, past a closed door, and to a corner. When they turn the corner - it's to the right, they see a zebra. The zebra sees Silver, and
runs.
>>158842While her sexual morality cannot be spoken to, she does not look like she's currently in on a plot to kidnap or kill anyone.
>>158845So you're saying she's a whore.
Dark Star Glances around the rest of the visible restaurant
>>158845Silver quickly points the shotgun at the zebra and aims.
"
Stop."
>>158846No no. She looks like a normal unicorn mare.
Blue Skies would say that means she is a whoreThe one stallion is still there. A diamond dog comes in through the front wearing a heavy jacket, and the hostess talks to him
>>158847Silver can't simultaneously point the shotgun at the zebra and the black unicorn.
Roll intimidate
>>158849The zebra looks back at Silver with big, wide eyes. He looks more than a little familiar.
However, the unicorn's horn lights up, and Silver's gun is grabbed. Silver looses the aim of his shotgun
>>158848Would she be right though?Im gonna roll a spot check to see if anypony has any weapons
[1d20+5 = (4+5) = 9] >>158850Is it possible for Silver to draw and fire his revolver at the stallion, since he's got a grip on his shotgun?
>>158851Probably not? Who knows. Hard to tell without soliciting her.Nopony has weapons visible. Concealed... hard to tell.
>>158852Yes and no. Yes, he can draw it, but it means he'll have a much loser grip and lower concentration on his hold on the shotgun.
>>158853Hmm...what roll could Silver make to try to overpower the unicorn's hold?
>>158853I roll a listen to try and hear silver or if anypony is talking about anything sus
[1d20+5 = (13+5) = 18] >>158854Let’s go with a wisdom based roll. Silver could also just try to direct the gun down, or use his hoof, while using magic for the revolver.
[1d20+3 = (10+3) = 13]>>158856Let's see if the dice fail me.
