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.

Amber's pocket watch is... like a minute and 38 seconds off from the clock that's visible on the train station platform.

Possibly gallops in that direction, as fast as her hooves can carry her

Posey's movements attract the attention of the locals, who stare at her as she moves. But if she's being pursued, she must have evaded them. Posey finds the entrance to the underground, and goes past the open shops, to the corner where she left Mason

Mason is doing a poor job hiding inside of this... club? It's literally a basement that they added chairs, a bar, and some booth tables to. He's tonguing a pink mare at a booth near the entrance, presumably the same one Posey saw early

He either is intentionally ignoring Posey, or genuinely does not see that he is there. He seems fairly consumed by whatever this living-creature social ritual is. Note that the club is fairly loud. They don't have a live band, but they are playing radio or a phonograph loudly, and there is loud talking. A diamond dog starts to walk up to Mason as well

Posey, in no hurry, waits a while, although after a considerable amount of time passes at some point she clears her throat and gives him an icy glare that's impossible to ignore.

Mason breaks with the mare, looks to Posey, and then stands up near Posey. The mare looks kind of offended, and starts to slink away, looking at Posey. Another pony walks up, but keeps a slight distance.

"Oh, pardon, was I interrupting something?" Posey says, with a flat tone, tossing her mane a bit as she walks by
Posey, despite having zero reason to, makes very brief aggressive eye contact with the other mare as she slinks away.

Amber finds a grey griffin in the locomotive whom she suspects may not be a natural grey, but covered in coal dust. He gives a firm nod, and starts the train on its way, with a chugging sound of the pistons.

Amber is in the front coach, perhaps 30% full, and beginning her journey.

A hidden message. To communicate with him discreetly, without alerting the others.
It was rolled into bluff when the 3.0 innuendo skill was removed in 3.5e

>but no one good
Posey takes this news in a calm, almost cheery manner, showing no signs of distress at being followed

Say, are there any dark alleys nearby?

Not per se. Posey and Mason are still underground, which is a series of walls and occasional storefronts.

Posey and Mason are still trailed, but the distance increases.

Posey walks slower, pretending to be interested in the various shops trying to bait the followers closer.
Are there any other tunnels or discreet locations she hope to lead them to?

Hope? Probably, though Posey does not know of them. As it is, Posey and Mason remain in a fairly trafficked area.

The followers come closer, evidently now intending to close the distance.
