Ambergriff wonders her way through the bog at night, looking for safety. Silver leads a heroic assault on the infiltrators before they can destroy the city. Both will have to wake soon...
Hopefully Spark's line will continue soon as well.

The tongue, presumbaly made for a pair of oxen, is bigger than would be needed for two griffins, but shorter than required for four griffins.
They don't seem... too excited.

"If it were many hours ago, I'd be more inclined... But at this time, I'd much rather sleep in it, than pull it."

Although with time they could make it work, time is not on their side, and with low light and fatigue it would only slow them down all the more.
"We should not sleep here, I do not like this place. Let's leave the wagon and press onward."

In the background, the crickets have picked up chirping again, and the frogs in the nearby water have begun croaking. Amber and her comrades walk along the trail further, past a few more trees with holes cut into the upper layers of bark and off of the island, over another little path that crosses the road, and into more forest. Amber feels tired. Very tired. Her limbs ache. She's probably walked this far before, but she can't remember when. They don't encounter more griffins that she can recall as they walk along. On each side are old oak trees, or willow bushes, or various other deciduous trees that dominate over the small pathway as they lean over. Sometimes their leaves block out the moon and Amber has to guess where the next step is, as the path is black. And sometimes their leaves cover the trail, while their naked branches leave shadows under the moonlight. The air is cool, and occasionally a breeze blows through. Insects and frogs, besides the occasional bird dominates the sound of the night, besides the patter of their own claws in the leaves, or Helder attempting to make conversation, or Erich and Federklied hurriedly whispering to each other.
Amber feels as if she is in a daze, forcing her limbs forward. Like she is in a trance, sleepwalking. Her limbs go numb, until she is like a passenger in her body.
But eventually, the sky becomes lighter, then orange, then yellow on the right. Then the path turns right, and through a gap in the trees, Amber can see a large river.

The doldrums of the night stretch on and on, exhaustion only worsened by Amber's body which grows tired faster than she is used to. Amber would like nothing more than to rest on the cool ground but is harried by urgency and fear. She has to look over her shoulder once in a while out of concern that one of the others fell into that temptation, but fortunately that doesn't seem to be case.
A gasp of relief escapes her beak as morning finally comes with their goal in sight. She finally sits down for a bit, looking up and down the river for any unwelcome surprises lying in wait.

Silver opens the door, perhaps with a bit of persuasion, and it opens. Silver sees that he is to the left of a large room. In the center, and about half of the area of the total, is an open floor that is a few feet lower than the edges, and at the center is a platform of a hexagonal shape two higher than the floor with a set of steps going into it, railings along the steps, and wooden railings around the platform. It has a set of wood holding up a small, half-egg shaped wooden roof over it, has many openings in a sort of "woven" pattern.
Above the central portion of the room is a dome with a similar "woven" pattern, albeit this is made of plaster. To either side of the room's center is a columbs that hold up the cieling, and under the roof behind the columns are set of wooden bench seats facing the platform. Half of these are on the lower level, while the half furthest away are raised up to the level of the floor at entrance. The wooden floor has a simople checker pattern. Much of the wood seems damaged, perhaps from water or fire, although if there was fire, it certainly did not destroy all of the wood. Some of the floor has crates and boxes on it. Silver has entered on the side by benches. But on the far side are doors to other rooms, and light enters from vaulted windows. Some of these have what seem to be stained glass, sometimes visible and sometimes opaque from dirt or soot. But much of this is destroyed, allowing a view straight across the street to the transit ministry.

The water moves swiftly with waves along it. The river is very wide, and Amber is skeptical a bridge could even be built to cross it.
Helder speaks,
"There's a village right down here. They should have a ferry."

A direct view towards the transport minstry is exactly what Silver wanted. Using the benchs, crates, and boxes as cover, Silver tries to get closer to the destroyed windows without being seen.

Looking through the breaks in the windows on the building Silver is in, Silver can see the north sids of the transit ministry isn’t particularly far away - close enough, certainly, to engage with gun fire. The building has relatively small square windows that seem to be recessed into the building relative to protrusions on the left and right sides, but not above of below, though a simple bulge frieze demarcates the separation between the building’s floors. The exterior of the building is covered in white, presumably granite panels. Some of the windows seem to be open. As stated, the building silver is in has windows that are mostly translucent but not able to be seen through. These stretch from the bottom almost to the top. They are broken in enough places that silver can see through them. To see to the left and right, silver must move to the right and left. To see up and down, sometimes the holes are vertical and big enough to see through, but sometimes silver needs to move up and back. The wooden crates and the platform, and especially the lack of illumination within the building silver is located, make it hard for Silver to be seen. But neither thin wood nor darkness will stop a rifle bullet. Note there are also doors in the building silver is in to the left, presumably to the outside towards the transit ministry, and maybe high levels like the tower.
To check for potential enemies or dangers, do a spot check. Or ask a pony to investigate.

Third floor window three over from the left/east, it’s open. Silver sees a helmeted figure, looks like a drone, with a gun on a bipod leaning on the windowsill. Looks like one of the new automatic rifles. One window over, a bit further inside. Silver sees what may be s drone, perhaps s spotter. There are two more open windows, one on the second floor, and another on the third floor, but nothing is visible inside.

The white Pegasus:
“We haven’t got any explosives. We can either suppress them and cross, try to take them out with a marksmare, call for fire support, or hope we can take them down in dueling automatic fire. I don’t think we can go around, because they likely have something like this covering every field of fire.”

"Yes. We're going to have to remain as hidden as possible until we get to Hellquill."
The trail turns right, running alongside the river. The trail tends to run along a high bank, which sometimes is next to the river, and sometimes separated by shallow pools or grass. But the trail doesn't go far before Amber sees a concentration of houses with white walls and tall, steep sloped black tiled roofs. And to the left, through the trees and on the river, Amber sees a peer.

But as Amber comes closer, she notes something. Knights, by the village center, and more importantly, by the pier, which itself is near by the center of this small settlement of a couple dozen houses. Two are in armor, steel, evidently, with a white surcoat with a red cross. Two others also stand nearby. They have no armor but have white shirts with red crosses and red cloaks.

"Okay..." Spectral Streak says.
The white pony, Azelea, the orange pony, and the purple pony, along with Streak and his Jenny, attempt to line up to mass fire on the open window. It is not easy, as the availability to see the open window through the broken window is small. The ponies line up more or less one behind the other, in a small group in the center of the room a bit to the right to gain the right angle to fire.
Do note that the enemy gunner, who is pretty well recessed into the third floor, has the benefit of cover, and thus may not be hit as easily as in the open.

Silver feels the sharp though manageable recoil of his new changeling rifle, and shards of glass spray as stray bullets shatter the stained glass and make the opening somewhat larger.

I should note - two of the ponies, I believe, we’re carrying submachine guns. It should not have been possible for them to make the kind of volley seen earlier, as that is supposed to be simultaneous marksman shooting. Silver is carrying a Grim and a Jenny, which are more or less capable of that kind of shooting, but they should have switched out. Similarly, Silver should have switched his rifle to semi-auto. Alternatively, the fire should have full auto and largely inaccurate. In any case, Silver and the ponies should have coordinated the fire, like with the drip of a handkerchief.
Silver cannot see the presumed Changeling, as it is out of his field of view. Silver can only see breaking glass, and splinters on the floor. Two ponies drop down, while another two run for cover.

It looks like the ponies have scattered, save for one who has his hooves over his head, and another that is crawling along. Silver aims the rifle to the right, and with a very mighty CHCHACHA that’s louder than the Jenny, louder than the old Lavender rifle, and indeed, more menacing than any shoulder fired pony rifle Silver can think of, the rifle presses firmly into his shoulder, and a window of a griffin under a blue-green sky with… white streaks? Shatters and disintegrates, giving Silver a view if the transit ministry. There is a “claclacla” reply of gunfire that with a “thump thump” seems to have hit the side of the building, but does not penetrate into the room.
The gunfire ceases.

The orange pony has a cut. It’s hard to tell if it’s caused by shattered glass, or a grazing bullet. If it’s the former, there could be broken glass in the wound, but certainly no bullet is lodged inside.
Azalea likewise has a bleeding cut. Silver can see why he wasn’t sure if he had been wounded at all - it’s overtop of an existing wound and bandage, and may actually be the result of said bandage breaking or stitches coming undone.

Silver can see the two just barely in the chickpea. One, a sort of skinny granite colored stallion, the same one who helped Silver, is partly leaning out. He looks out, and places a hoof down on the ground.

The other is a cream-colored stallion leaning against the wall. He presses against the floor, and looks over towards Silver.

As if adding it's own opinion to the matter, from off in the distance, Silver can hear a voice on a loudspeaker. It must be a couple blocks over, very loud, and a slight echoing suggests that it's far from the only loudspeaker playing the exact same broadcast at that time.

Gibs wakes up in weird hotelroom... With metal bars.
"Aye yo! What happen? One moment I'm just hustlin through life like any zigga in Baltimare and the next I'm in this wacked-ass zoo cage, like I iz animal. If yo don't let me out soon, I'll go beast-mode mutherfuckerz. Hehe, get it? Dat's a rap foo."

The cream medic goes to the orange pony, while the grey medic goes to Azlea. "There's some glass in here..." Silver can see the cream medic extracting glass fragments before bandaging the orange pony, while the grey medic attempts to reapply stiches. But both work urgently, as they know time is not on their side. "We got this" says the grey medic to Silver.

"Hey!" One angry zebra mothefucker smacks them bars from the outside with his brass plated horseshoes. "Y'all shut the hell up in there. I done told ya you'll see the magistrate in the mornin'."
"Yo man," says another zebra on the bench behind Gibs. "Ya'll said that two hours ago. It's mornin' already!"
The zebra outside replies, "He'll get here when he gets here." He shakes his head and walks away.

Interesting choice for what looks like an EaW themed game. Where did you post character sheets and rules? I tried looking at the older threads, but I couldn't really make sense of them.

Yes, that is what we did. Character sheets have been posted sometimes through discord. No rules for the game besides those in the 3.5 system have been written down. It’s been fairly informal.

We started at level 5. We do have stat bonuses based on race. For instance, Earth Ponies get I believe a +2 to strength. I could find the notes on that if you’re interested.
I do have a pony finder book, but thus far we haven’t used it

Not a big fan of Ponyfinder rules either. It's not known for it's good quality of rules. People use it because bandwagon.

What about unicorns and pegasi? Int and Dex respectively?

I went through some the old threads to get a grip of how things work here. I didn't see anyone roll stats, but when I looked at the point totals one character had 22 points and another other had 33, so I guess you use rolled stats. I don't see very much of the other rules though.

Unicorns do get +2 Int, yes, as well as telekinesis magic, and are required for sorcerer and wizard builds. I don't believe Pegasi get Dex as they can fly, which itself is a hell of a boost.
>>167177
There hasn't been a formal leveling, though it's certainly appropriate and earned. D&D has rather extreme power creep as levels increase, and the majority of enemies are and remain "humanoid" equivalent ponies, griffins, and changelings. So leveling has been kept simple to prevent inflation. Party members have acquired many weapons, a house, and NPC followers and companions as booty.
>>167184
At the moment, everyone is split up. Spark is off way north in Whinnysota. Silver and Amber are each in Baltimare in respective dream sequences. Dark Star and Iron are on sort of hiatuses, and Dark Star is in Baltimare while Iron is on a sort of "day trip" away from Baltimare.

Is that a way of saying that this is like an e6 or e8 kind of game with the HD levels capped? I've done e8 before, so that's np. I like to plan out levels in advance though.
>NPC followers and companions as booty.
That's cool. How would you handle an Apprentice PC? I know some DMs don't like making NPC mentors, but I kind of wanna try that as a quest-giver thing. Could I find know an existing necromancer mentor NPC in this world? I could make one too.
Had an idea for an apprentice necromancer thrall from the Coven of Blood or Society of bones who's doing quests to earn emancipation from her creator. After that I'd like to flirt with leadership, because it's a war themed game.
>everyone is split up
Oof. Where would a player even meet the party then?

Thank fuck. I'm sick of Ponyfinder's pointless Fey type autism for no reason.

> How does that work?
Kind of just eyeballing it as it goes. Like “no, you can’t pick up an object that heavy. No, it doesn’t extend that far. You have to see what you are handling to know what you are handling.” Typically depending on traits.
>How fast
I think 60 feet per move.
> So, milestone, or something else?
Like I’ve tried to suggest it before a quest and it was ignored. I suppose “milestone” would be correct. Based on quest completion.
>level cap
As I said, it’s been informal, and mostly ignored as a way of preventing inflation. The more serious concern in the campaign has been the inclusion of automatic firearms like submachine guns, and in Silver’s future dream sequence, assault rifles and battle rifles.
>How would you handle an Apprentice PC?
This is more or less how many of the quests have worked. Dark Star has aligned him self with the Blackhooves faction, and the NPC liaison of that faction is acts as a mentor for Dark Star when not on a quest, and basically as a GMPC on quests, as she’s been the most common companion NPC for full party quests. Iron likewise has a Zebra NPC mentor who serves essentially as a GMPC when he goes on quests. These characters are level 5, same as the party, and tend to be deemphasized in combat. And they are waifus because of course they are, what did you expect.
> Could I find know an existing necromancer mentor NPC in this world?
Necromancy in the campaign has been treated as evil and something belonging to a forgotten past. I don’t think a “living” necromancer has been seen in the campaign.
> Had an idea for an apprentice necromancer thrall from the Coven of Blood or Society of bones who's doing quests to earn emancipation from her creator.
For perspective, the Society of Bones and Coven of Blood in EAW are located in a land metaphorically detached from the rest of the Griffonian continent. The main setting of the campaign has been in Baltimare, in the southern half of the equestrian east coast. The city is very much like Barcelona in the Spanish civil war in EAW, and my interpretation has been to make it like Lovecraft’s New York and Providence. I suppose a Dreas Leafye style necromancer could show up there.. but it would be something of an alien element to the city.
> Where would a player even meet the party then?
Historically, this has been the Eastside Tavern
> how do you do attributes? Just basic rolled stats?
Yes.

You use d20 Modern rules for those, right? They weren't too powerful, last I checked. Are you also using the Dr#321 rules for increased damage and threat range on firearms?
>Necromancy in the campaign has been treated as evil and something belonging to a forgotten past. I don’t think a “living” necromancer has been seen in the campaign.
>“living”
Unliving? It could be cool to have been made by a lich. The standard base levels for Mentors is 5 plus modifiers (8ish), but a higher level one could be cool if it already exists in the story.
>but it would be something of an alien element to the city.
I thought of it as being something like a pilgrimage/tourism. The queen herself was from Equestria, so maybe some of her followers might travel to "see what she saw".
>Yes
Okay. Here goes nothing...

Since I don't really know how equipment is going to work out in a modern setting, and the Coven Of Blood is itself painfully low-tech, I'm probably going to spend most of my starting equipment on corpses/thralls. The thralls I start with are characters, telepathically under my command, but I want to make them proper cohorts when I reach the level, so developing them now is key. I will roll all of their stats at once and assign them based on what is most appropriate to who. My mage doesn't need anything but Charisma, but some Wisdom would be nice.

Not stellar rolls, but doable. Half are noncombatants anyway. Corpse 3 and 4 are definitely keepers; I only wanted one 16 to glue the whole build together. Might replace Corpse 1 with the elite array if that's allowed, although he's supposed to be a living colt who won't see combat, so having crappy stats is fine for him.

Corpse 4 (White Horse) is my Necromancer: Rosie "Posie" Ring, an apprentice practitioner in The Art. Her origins lie in the Coven Of Blood. Posie is a product of dysgenics by the Dread League, who sought to breed the perfect thrall from the necrotic tissue of a stillborn alicorn. Posie was considered to be a paragon among her cloned sisters, but ultimately still a failure to produce a god of destruction.
Posie's childhood memories are non-existent, just a blur of constant excruciating pain as she writhed about in her vat of fluid. She was liberated from her necrotic cradle as an adolescent filly, and raised by the Coven.
Posie is bound to her master in a powerful Geas that exceeds the formal binds of apprenticeship: until she surpasses her master, she is forever his thrall. Her bindings prohibits her from committing acts in Equestria that would compromise the infiltration goals of the Society of Bones, at least until her emancipation.
Posie's master was a powerful necromancer who cultivated Posie from necrotic tissue. As a mentor, he is an NPC that would not assist in quests or give any formal aid to her, but he may give her quests. I think it would be cool if he were a lich, but that's up to the DM. I would like him to be affiliated with the Dread League, maybe taking advantage of changeling occupation to infiltrate Equestria.
Posie appears to be a white/pinkish mare with a scarlet mane. She appears youthful and vivacious, even in death: her godly blood provides an unlimited well of entropy that keeps her body as beautiful as it was in her short life. Although not a true vampire, her time with the Coven of Blood has given her an appreciation of vampire culture: selfishness, hedonism, and poetic edginess.
In terms of Religion, Posie believes the holy blood in her veins makes her worthy of defeating death, a goal that her peers have forgotten. She believes that the creator of all things beckons her foals to join her in the abyss of entropy as undead, or die if they will not.

Corpse 3 (black horse) will be my first thrall: the disgraced plague doctor and thief, Caligo Miasma, from the Society of Bones. He was crucified for stealing the souls of the unborn at a maternity ward. He's a coward even in death, and he accepted undeath from Posie as a means to escape whatever judgement laid beyond the void for his atrocities in life, and so she . He's a skulking coward, and a malignant villain who secretly wishes to finish his grisly work, but so long as Posie exists he is her eternal prisoner and bound to carry out her will.
Corpse 2 (red horse) will be my second thrall: the mad swordsman Frenzied Thresher. He was once a feared warlord who had killed countless innocents. He was ruthlessly wicked and bloodthirsty in life, and his bloodthirst ended up being his undoing, for the shear depravity of his crimes caused him to fall into a state of perpetual madness. He found "salvation" from the madness of taint by selling his soul and surrendering his entire being to The Worms. As a worm-infested raver, he ravaged the countryside until he eventually fell under Posie's control after being deemed a "rogue ghoul". Despite his servitude to Posie, his true loyalty lies with the the Lord of Worms. His deformed, twisted and rotten appearance is horribly monstrous, which is why Posie prohibits him from taking off his armor.
[Read more] Corpse 4 (White Horse) is my Necromancer: Rosie "Posie" Ring, an apprentice practitioner in The Art. Her origins lie in the Coven Of Blood. Posie is a product of dysgenics by the Dread League, who sought to breed the perfect thrall from the necrotic tissue of a stillborn alicorn. Posie was considered to be a paragon among her cloned sisters, but ultimately still a failure to produce a god of destruction.
Posie's childhood memories are non-existent, just a blur of constant excruciating pain as she writhed about in her vat of fluid. She was liberated from her necrotic cradle as an adolescent filly, and raised by the Coven.
Posie is bound to her master in a powerful Geas that exceeds the formal binds of apprenticeship: until she surpasses her master, she is forever his thrall. Her bindings prohibits her from committing acts in Equestria that would compromise the infiltration goals of the Society of Bones, at least until her emancipation.
