Possy spends the next hour or so nursing her wounds and reconstructing her body through her grisly ritual, trading flesh for flesh and blood for blood.
She draws her knife and butchers the bird with ghoulish efficiency, cutting out lumps of flesh and stuffing them into her ripcage to reabsorb into herself.
By the time she's done with the body, only bones remain, which she neatly sorts and cleans.
After this times, she shakily rises to her feet and shakes the blood off of herself like a dog. She gives a long sigh.
And then she turns her attention to the prize of her kill: the wishbone.
That was an awesome session, GM. I had a lot of fun.
I'll type out Posey's next course of action tomorrow. I had an idea for what to do with Alluring seeks ago. For now, I must slumber.

I was just paying homage to put friends who died here last week.
I'm still butchering him. I need his bones because reasons.

Towards downtown, simply enter directly onto the street, and turn left. The roads are paved in brick, and are wider than most of the older cities of Griffonia, built to accommodate carts and automobiles, even if they are not wider than the all too familiar streets of Katerinburg. Amber can see rail-lines installed in the roadway, and wires overhanging the central road but not the road leading to the train station, implying a tramline planned but not (at least yet) implemented. The city is not terribly dense, populated mostly by single houses of white plastered three-storied jettied half-timber construction with slate-tile roofs. The close, four storied apartments with shops at the base do exist, but do not dominate until Amber is on the main road, and they lack the diverse colors of even Kronburg. At the end of the street is the central platz with its granite stones and the rathaus with its imposing brick structure and clock tower. It's not an ugly design, just a bit modern. Further to the right, and hanging over the city atop a hill, is the imposing and greatly older castle complex, containing within the Palace of the Grand Master. Nearer, and on the corner of the two converging streets, is a mostly completed Cathedral with white-marble facade, with red spires and dome. Past the Rathaus is a large, long structure with a few domes that is presumably a university.

Once Posey finishes healing up and stripping the flesh off of the bones, she nearly places them in her bag.
She examines Luminous's equipment as well.
She then searches her surroundings, in case the source of that evil aura was anything of note.
If she finds nothing else, she packs her saddle and heads back to the manor.
If the military asks her why she has an entire griffin skeleton in her bag, she shows them her medical license and tells them that hollow bone osteoporosis kills hundreds of pegasi every year, and that this skeleton is important in researching a cure.

He is indeed wearing chainmail armor. It's bright, and brass plated, though severely damaged in the fight. He has the letter Posey sent to Alluring, a glove that was taken off or not worn, a map of Baltimare, corrective glasses, a note book, a small pencil, a laundry ticket, and a small silver-foil covered icon of a shield with an Ursa Minor with a single bright star on it. This last item is particularly repulsive to Posey. Besides this, he has leather boots on his hind legs, a necklace with a representation of wind on it, and a brown, leather jacket. He carried no passport or identification (even Posey should know this will get you arrested immediately), no coins or money, and no weapons of any kind.
It's important to ask what exactly Posey looks like here, and how she intends to make her way back

Well, I had hoped that after putting some blood in her, and healing back to full HP with her charnel touch, she'd look like her normal self again, passable as mortal.
She's going to need a way to wash the blood off though.
She intends to go home on hoof.

>Go out onto the streets of a city occupied by a foreign army at 2:00 AM, in a bad, non-residential neighborhood, in a time when the military is fighting a war against guerrillas, rebels are trying to hunt down informants, local gangs are fighting invading foreign gangs, the police is trying to make a show of keeping order, lone criminals prowl for easy prey, and perhaps even worse threats linger...

Looking around, Posey finds that the strongest source of dark magic was... the garbage chute. A simple trash chute. No magic, nothing. Another strong signature comes from the door opposite the one Posey came through. Not the door itself, but a pair of rooms to either side. To the left is a small dorm room with two bunk beds. It has a light signature. In the room on the right is a large, jail-like cage, and an open spot with a black stain on the ground, with remnants of gossamer. This area has a much stronger signature. Going back into the room that is across the threshold, there is a pair of cages, a bit of dried blood on the ground, and a light signature. There's a stone stairway that goes into water, evidently to a tunnel that leads to the ocean. Back in the big room, going back the way Posey came, through the hallway, there are signatures inside of the boiler-room. Light-to-moderate. Then nothing much interesting on this level. The first level is permeated with a light signature.
But the truth is, all of these signatures are created by suffering and death. They are not magical in origin.

If you wish for Posey to do something different, that's fine. Just say so.
Just an hour ago, Posey was taken to the edge of oblivion by a presumed retired Paladin who came to meet her with no weapons, no magical equipment, and no idea what he would be facing. And Posey feels great about it.
Why had he travelled with no weapons? No Papers? No money? Did he even have a plan if the military stopped him?
Posey steps outside of the building through the front entrance, to find the street somewhat dark, though illimunated by lamps and empty of traffic. A cool breeze passes through the buildings, though less in the lean of the structure of 33 Hoebuck. The moon, waning crescent, shines after a cloud passes. It's not completely quite - the sound of steam being released from a nearby refinery, of a crate at a dock, and then a steel door opening breaks the silence. But all of these are distant, and for the most part, an odd calm pervades.
There was something... contempable about that griffin's demeanor. How he looked so much like a prey animal. No. Like livestock, with an odd awareness of the pending slaughter. The way how he varied between fear and resignation. And the way he looked around the streets. How he looked at that warehouse! Posey can see it now - a big ugly building, with a few windows, now blocked by presumed freight. What was there to be afraid of? Did this bird not realize that there is nothing hiding in the dark? There was nothing there that wasn't there when the lights were on. And that odd relief he had when he entered 33 Hoebuck. Could he not feel the evil around him? How could he possibly have been so haunted by the feeling that tonight would be his last... yet so oblivious to Posey, and the type of predator she is.
And so Posey exits the building towards the streets, with the confidence of a predator. So well hidden amongst the grass, always unseen, and fearful of nothing. It's about time that Baltimare had a vampire. The first in ages.

For the record, Posey is not a paladin. She does not have any innate ability to detect Evil auras, or at least not any more than any regular undead creature might be sensitive to such forces.

Silver can see that his group is down a purple pegasus pony. Silver now has Azelea, the White Pegasus, the Orange unicorn, the cream medic and the grey medic. All but the white pegasus and the grey medic have been wounded. This is besides, of course, Spectral Streak.
Spectral Streak says
"Did you hear that drone's cry? 'Hail Ocellus'?"
The orange pony replies
"We got Chrysalis!"
But the white pegasus adds,
"If they know a succession took place, they are in contact with their homeland. They are still very dangerous" he says, holding up his Jenny

Posey looks up towards the windows that line the second level of the warehouse, finding many of them to be tilted open. Some of them have a light behind them, some of them have been covered up.
But where lights do exist, Posey can see, just barely, the outlines of at least half a dozen figures that lay low in the lower portion of the window, mostly concealed from the street view. She can recognize on every one of them, the shapes of steel helmets, and in many instances, griffin beaks, the barrels of rifles, and in one instant, the big, curved magazine of a machine gun. A hoof waves up, as if directing someone unseen. There is definitely whispering, and the pattering of claws

It's pretty obvious what they are doing. They are set up to observe, and then lay down an immense amount of fire on anyone coming out of or within the 33 Hoebuck structure, while being fairly covered against any return fire. Their numbers are greater than a simple patrol or observation would suggest. This is part of an offensive combat group.
Posey isn't a 17th level ranger, is she?

First, I need to roll a religion check, to see if Posey knows any griffonian curses related to the cult of Maar. Any sort of iconic, recognizable phrase will do.

Posey can attempt to try to run to one of the few, leafless trees scattered about the property, or back to a small, equally leafless bush. She can hope that she’s harder to see further away from the lights. But the bottom line is that there is no natural cover in front of 33 Hoebuck, and no obstacles between it. The building has only a small number of exits on the front side, and anypony observing need only watch these. Posey exited out of the middle, most obvious exit, which necessarily requires opening a door and making movement. And she made no attempt to conceal herself until after this point.

“May you never see true.”
“May you fall with the false gods.”
“The True seeing god shall take his rightful place”
Do you mean like cursing a person? Or a curse like a profane statement said out of frustration.

Posey, going outside, has found a predator lurking in the tall grass, waiting for an ambush. Waiting to ambush her. By attempting to hide after that, she has tipped off that she knows they are there, and that she considers them to be hostile. Now, they must necessarily spring their trap.
From the warehouse, Posey hears the yell of some feral creature that must be sone sort of pony:
”There’s that Elf sorceress! Kill it before it can escape!”
And then a second voice, even more accented.
“Karabin maszynowy, strzelec, strzelaj!

Posey, going outside, has found a predator lurking in the tall grass, waiting for an ambush. Waiting to ambush her. By attempting to hide after that, she has tipped off that she knows they are there, and that she considers them to be hostile. Now, they must necessarily spring their trap.
From the warehouse, Posey hears the yell of some feral creature that must be sone sort of pony:
”There’s that Elf sorceress! Kill it before it can escape!”
And then a second voice, even more accented.
“Karabin maszynowy, strzelec, strzelaj!
“Drużyna 2, flankujcie ich. Zabij kucyka!”

I know something that can have me from that
Okay, at the top of her lungs, with her features still obscured, beneath her cloak, pops out one of her eyeballs with a hoof to the back of her head.
Ashes snatches it in mid air, and casts Darkness on it as she places it back in its socket. She achieves this using Versatile Spellcaster and two lvl 1 slots. One of her eyes is now the center of the Darkness spell, and she keeps that eye closed.
She takes out Luminous's Skull and places it over her own face, like a mask.
From the darkness, at the top of her lungs Posey let's out bloodcurdling shriek, as she opens her darkened eye.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
And then, she invokes the power of the Red Curse to use Gaseous Form, her body turning to red mist.
In essence, Posey is attempting to disguise herself as an apparition summoned by the cult of Maar that was unleashed by the Luminous's intrusion. Having Darkness on her eye enables her to flick Darkness on and off at will by blinking. Gaseous Form will enable her to fly and slip through tiny spaces, while also making her look a lot like a red ghost. This will also make her all but impervious to nonmagical attacks for the next six minutes.

So basically, the building Posey is in has a rather large, rather clear, front yard. The frontage is not flush with the street, there is a parking lot and grass, and the street is maybe like 70 or so feet away. Then the street is two lanes with a sidewalk, and the warehouse is slightly back from the road as well, to a lesser degree. The second floor warehouse is thus something like 150 feet away. The area in between has basically no cover. It’s open ground.
>>171798
On the street itself, yes.
It should probably be known that Posey can simply renter the Hoebuck structure

So, if Posey isn’t already familiar, 33 Hoebuck is built like a fortress/prison. There is a reason the military chose to simply surround the structure rather than attack it directly.
Posey goes straight down the hallway, and turns left in the main hallway to stairwell. Going down, she’s back in a hallway that takes her to a series of multiple doors that lead to two rooms, a tunnel, and a boiler room. Going through the boiler room and another smaller hallway, she’s back in the old storage room where she killed the griffin.

Posey has options. By becoming a ball of red gas, she can squeeze through the pipelines and enter into a sewer system that exits 15 blocks north. Or maybe she can exit through a random toilet. Of course this would require abandoning the silver sword, the chain mail, and the griffin skeleton. Still another option is to slip through a narrow crack and into a storm drain that exits about… 3 blocks away. And yet another is to follow a power conduit. It goes a little south, maybe one block. The street may or may not be safe.
There are other more boring options, like just going through that door at the end of the hall and waking through a tunnel either a block south to a door factory, or two blocks east to an old church. Or maybe go out a different tunnel that opens directly into the harbor. But those don’t involve becoming gas or crawling through shit, so why bother?

Posey heads towards the door factory, since she suspects the police to be monitoring the church, and she's not gone of running water.

Posey shouldn’t be casually carrying a griffin male regardless. It weighs more than her. It’s necessarily too bulky to fit in a simple saddlebag.
But down a long tunnel, past a split, she finds stairs that go up to a closed door, and to a dark storage area.

Also, the skeleton should weigh a lot less than that. A human skeleton only weighs about 15% of their body weight, and this is a hollow-boned flying organism, probably less than 10-25 pounds in total.

The wall where the stairwell Posey passes is tan, compared against the red of the remainder of the factory, implying an older origin. Going through the door, Posey can see a big storage room full of glass windows, leaning one against the other.

"A skeleton. An adult male griffon, who died when bone density complications left him unable to breathe. Hollow-bone osteoporosis is such a gruesome thing..."
Posey Attempts to charm all of the soldiers who make eye contact with her.

The soldiers take the bag to look through it. Or rather, one takes it, while a second stands further away and keeps a gun trained on Posey. When it is verified that Posey does not, in fact, have explosives, firearms, cameras, or radios in there, they give it back.

Pony 2...
"It's well after Curfew, and you are travelling in a mandatory identification zone. We are going to have to detain you until we can positively identify you. It is the law."

One pony writes something in a notebook, while another asks why she was walking down an industrial, dead end street in a sketchy neighborhood, and why she has a chainmail suit. And a bow and arrow.
However, with the coinciding of the skeleton and her student ID, and the absence of any actual contraband on her, she's out of the risk of immediate arrest. In fact, when two more soldiers show up, they are more concerned that Posey is a decoy for actual rebels.

Posey says that the chainmail and chainshirt are part of her research, since as a practicing necrologist and exorcist she has to deal with things that don't die quietly. She has a bow because guns are scary to her.

Posey is able to walk through the remainder of the town without being raped, mugged, or arrested. She doesn't actually know how to get back, but she can assume she can walk south to the river, then west until she sees a familiar bridge, then along the road until she gets to the manor. 3 hours, perhaps.

Amber moves past a coffee shop, a shop selling sausages, a bakery, a tobacco shop, hat store, and a wooden crafts store. There actually seems to be more economic activity than back in Katerinburg.
The cathedral must surely have been under contrustion for decades (but not centuries), with a hiatus in its construction, and a small plaque states that it's replacing the older version of the Saint Rufus temple that was destroyed in a fire. What remains is detail on the tiling over the main roof, and the upper portions of the towers. It's open, and surely has been for years.

Silver's group of ponies are a bit disorganized, given how many are wounded. Nevertheless, they gather, and nod to Silver's command. The corporal places the magazine into the well, and it automatically loads a round into the chamber.

That's probably a good idea for Silver to do, as well. I've lost track of how much ammunition he has, but if he has a full magazine for his LMG to spare he swaps mags before leading his group towards the underground.

Well, unless they're about to walk into a nest of changelings, that should be enough to deal with the ones in the underground section. Hopefully.

"Very well."
Posey takes the bones of Luminous to where the relic is.
She trots along merrily, clearly in an excellent mood.
She sings a little poem as she goes:
"The earth that's nature's mother is her tomb;
What is her burying grave that is her womb,
And from her womb children of divers kind
We sucking on her natural bosom find,
Many for many virtues excellent,
None but for some and yet all different.
O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies
In herbs, plants, stones, and their true qualities:
For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give,
Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse:
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied;
And vice sometimes by action dignified...."
She unfurls her scroll of Animate Dead, unscrews the base, and retrieves a black onyx gem, and places it within the eye sock of the skull, and completes the spell to activate the scroll.
"Luminous Grandeur, I command you to rise!"

Posey puts on a sinister grin, as she watches the skeleton rise.
I don't know what his stats were, but as a skeleton his alignment would change to neutral evil, and he would only have one hit dice. This makes him an appropriate candidate for the following gimmick:
"Luminous, I command you to take the pastern bone of Saint Filipovich in both of your claws, and hold it firmly." Posey says
The skeleton, under Posey's command, would reach out to grasp the bone. Once it's in its possession, it would immediately gain a negative level, and be instantly slain, collapsing back into a pile of bones.
"Now we play the waiting game." Posey says, still grinning.

In case it wasn't obvious, Posey is creating a Wight. A creature slain by negative levels rises as a wight the following night. The relic isn't useful to Posey because it is virtuous, but by misapplying it's powers, Posey has turned it to vice. Posey intends to recreate Luminous as an undead inversion of himself, and her first order of business will be to use him to eliminate Alluring, to get rid of the last witness while also punishing him for his greed.

Posey carefully moves the bones to a more secure location.
She tells Lament (or anyone around), that she's attempting a dangerous experiment, and not to let anypony into the quarters, unless they're interested in becoming wight and based.
Although, until the evening, the bones aren't going anywhere. Posey spends the day researching and taking care of Gloomy. She makes sure that she has time to overlook the bones hours before evening though.

This room is very large, and likely extends under the plaza in front of the ministry, though it's hard to tell. There are multiple arches with brick columns.
Nearish the center, Silver can see several boxes. There seem to be several drones in the room, including wounded ones.

It should, iirc
>A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed her, she may rise the next night as a monster of that kind. If not, she rises as a wight.
A unless the effect says otherwise, a creature slain in this fashion rises as a wight.
This has no clause for condition of the body. The Grim Revenge spell turns a severed limb into a tiny wight.
Inflicting negative levels on undead isn't usually easy, but having them possess holy items is one of those few ways to do it. The fact that a holy sword can turn a 1 HD evil creature into an undead is one of those silly things in 3.5e. A skeleton was the most easily obtainable 1 HD evil creature that I could think of.
Unless what you mean to say is "I don't want you to make a wight", in which case... pretty please?

Silver is at least able to retreat back into the hallway. While the door is questionable, the bricks are solid enough to stop bullets.

Damn. Odds are that this is indeed the room with the bomb, but with so many changelings there if they had the wire they needed they would have detonated it already. The fact that Silver is very much not atomized gives him the belief that they must have killed the team that was bringing back wires for the detonator, or they're still out there looking for one.
Since there's at a stalemate for the moment, Silver sees if the jammed door to the other basement can be opened.

Okay, whatever the result, Posey waits until sunset to meet the wight as it arises. If the bones stay dead, she goes to bed with a disappointed sigh, and snuggles her colt, contemplating her next evil plan.

BAM
Silver knocks it down. Unsubtly

>level 4
Maybe? Let me get back to you on that one
>>171912
That's specifically for the energy drain attack, which is not what the relic does
As for just saying "fuck it Posey can have a wight"... let me get back to you on that. A wight is a bit different from a true NPC as its under the player's direct command, whereas the changeling nymphs/waifus/that one kaftar fighter that players have collected so far are... well, NPCs that need to be persuaded

It's filed under the energy drain attack in the SRD, but negative levels from any source cause this, including various spells and effects.
>NPCs
Posey's plan was going to be to use him as a shocktrooper to attack Alluring, and telepathically command him to return with his turned flock of he survives.
There's also the option of simply adding the wight template to his (Ex) paladin statblock, which would retain most of him as a character; however, that might give him too many hit dice for Posey to directly control...
>A wight is a bit different from a true NPC as its under the player's direct command
I think an uncontrolled wight would be a bigger pain in the ass.
Before you make any rulings, I'll note that wights can create spawn very efficiently, and you might not like that at this level.
>not what the relic does
You could also just say that the relic simply damages evil creatures who touch it, instead of giving the negative level to those who possess it.
I'll be honest with you: I asked you specifically about the negative level back when you first described the item to me so that I could do exactly this, months ago. It was me just grasping at straws to try to make the treasure I retrieved into something useful.
>Let me get back to you
Take your time. I had plenty of fun this weekend. Focus on Silver and his adventure.

Silver busts in to see...
A few brick columns, though not as many as in the other room. A concrete floor, with many boxes periodically throughout the room.
At least two drones, moving near the end of the room which connects to the previous room. And in the Center is a concrete column that has a desk with a phone set up, wires leading away, and two drones by it.

Let's try something gutsy.
Bluff: In the best authoritative accent Silver can muster, he shouts out to the changelings in their own language.
"Statusbericht!"

Whoever seems the most ready and likely to shoot Silver is his first target, as he levels his LMG and releases a burst of fire.

One drone clearly was not impressed by Silver's attempt as Wechselbalg, and levied his Grim at Silver.
But he wasn't fast enough, and was struck in the head and chest by bullets, ripped apart before hitting the ground
One drone, hearing Silver's words, was confused just enough that the white pegasus got the lead. The white pegasus actually manages to levy his gun next.

I... think that's enough to down the drone?
>>171932
The room is not clear, but the two drones that are most dangerous have been neutralized (the second drone clearly not dead, at least until Streak kills him) and the first one clearly dead. There are two drones at table that are not armed, at least immediately

Silver levels his LMG at the two remaining drones here, a warning for them to not make any sudden moves.
"Lasst uns das noch einmal machen. Wir sind wegen der Bombe hier, nicht wegen Ihnen. Verlasse diesen Ort, geh nach Hause."

Intimidate: Silver shouts angrily at the changelings while keeping his gun on them, something easy to do due to the nature of the language.
"JETZT!"
