"I don't know...the Customs agents and the military ponies were pretty nice to me..." She straightens herself up. "I have to try. My tribe is depending on me, I can't fail them."

Does Posey need to roll anything to get home, or can she take 10 on Bluff while Charming the checkpoint guards?

Posey needs a cover story as to why they were out and why she has so much… stuff. She needs to keep the diamond dog quiet, and keep the ghosts from spooking the guards.
If this is satisfactory, she may take a 10

>Posey needs a cover story as to why they were out and why she has so much… stuff
The medical supplies are licensed tools for her profession.
The Polearm is a historical artifact, as is her other archaic weaponry.
She didn't take very much else besides jewelry.
>She needs to keep the diamond dog quiet
I figured Charming and and asking her politely might work, and if not that maybe threatening her would be good enough...
She could put a Necrotic Cyst inside her that could allow her to detect, scry on, or destroy her at any time. I was looking for a chance to use that spell...
I guess this is as good a time as any to ask what the bitch's name is.
>keep the ghosts from spooking the guards
Posey asks them to un-manifest for the sake of convenience.

"You ought to talk to Guy more. He plays a musical instrument, and he's in college too." And after a pause "I'm not sure what music could do to help... this, except maybe to improve the atmosphere. But I wouldn't consider myself a connoisseur of music either, so I can't really comment."
And smiling again,

While the sentiment of her saying is understood, combined with what Kira said makes it sound as if they won't need a reason to *not* assume bad things about Kira. Regardless, Kira smiles at her deer friend, and flicks her tongue.
"Well, ready to go to the market, to get some food and this 'radio'?"

The stallions think they have it under control, and they seem to, picking up the large furniture with their hooves, placing it on their backs, and getting it in the truck. They are quite good at it.

"What are you studying again? It's in college, right? What is college like?" Amber fires off these questions in rapid succession and suddenly stops, as if she wants to ask more but is holding herself back.

"Then let's get going. I'd rather not drive through this area at night anyways." Mason gets in the car and closes the door.
The diamond dog is not very well able to move on her own, although with much effort, she can sort of make it into the car on her own.

Mala moves his bushy tail side to side
"Yes." With big bright eyes
>>174660
He raises an eyebrow
"Okay... you can try."
Going downstairs, and to the curb, Kira can see that there is a truck waiting with a red paint job, and a covered back. It's a different model of truck than Kira saw at the docks, but similar enough to not be completely unfamiliar. There are only two seats in the front, however, although some pony could probably stay in the back.

"You haven't kept in touch? Well, what do the griffons over here think? I haven't had the chance to speak with many of them." Amber neglects to mention the disgusting landlord she has, who represents the less desirable aspects of griffonkind and who casts a shadow on the day merely with a thought.

"We do, - kind of - we just don't talk about politics. As for Griffins over here, they vary. Some want a social democratic republic, some want a kind of communist or anarchist state... or non-state... some want the princess back, and some are enthusiastic about new business opportunities in southeast Griffonia... Mostly they care less than the griffins back in Nova Griffonia, which is a nice change."

Kira can, in fact, discern why Neela chose to sit where she did. It's actually pretty obvious. You see, ponies are fairly soft, and generally nice to sit on or lean against. Much better than the edges of furniture, or the tops of tables that don't quite give you good grip in a moving vehicle. And certainly it's better than having a doe sit on you. The only other creature that potentially has a better seat is the driver, and he has to deal with three peddles, a wheel, and that stick. Neela's seat is thus best in the house, though it does leave her head and neck exposed to possible predator attacks from the cargo-window.
What Neela did not appreciate that Kira surely can is that Kira's position places her in-between multiple possible friends/existing friends and gives her a good view of the Baltimare street.
"Oh really?" The driver looks back towards Kira and seems kind of off put by Kira's way of being in the vehicle, and looks back to the road
"Where uh, where are you from?"

Does Posey get home?
Posey's first order of business is to check on Gloomy, then to escort the dog inside and get her treatment so that she's still alive for Posey to decide what to do with her later. Posey recounts her adventure to Licorice Lament, and she makes arrangements to have the cylinders shipped back to her masters.
At this point, Posey is looking a bit strained; although not physically tired, it has been some time since she last had her daily 8 hours in meditation that she needs to replenish her arcane spells. She's never had her powers depleted for this long before, and that makes her feel vulnerable.

That does make sense, ponies are indeed really soft and friend-shaped. Kira would sit in one's lap if they were big enough. She also does appreciate the benefit of being in the position she's in, even if the furniture poking into her body is a bit uncomfortable.
"Dhamaji. You probably haven't heard of it? It's a city in Southeastern Zebrica, in the area near the Zeblu, Talonsvaal, and Roam. Actually we're also really close to the frontier of the Kirin Empire. It's way, way far away from here, so far away that I had never seen a pony before in my life until I got here. Like I knew you all existed, we had books about you and Equestria but still, we only ever saw zebras or griffons. The kirins liked to keep to themselves rather than coming all the way out to our tribe."

Oh, Posey is definitely tired. Somehow, she feels like more has been taken out of her on a physical level than expected. Must be the weather, although it's actually cooler here and now than it is on the Dread Peninsula in summer.
Mason turns the vehicle on, and begins to move. The cylinder barely fits in the back, needing to be angled, and the diamond dog lays back, with a few bags covering her to act like blankets. The door closest to her head is cracked open to allow the flow of air. Mason himself rolls down some windows on a few occasions. The roads are long, windy, and lonely for the first portion of the trip, travelling through endless forest, and periodically over creeks and in one instance, a true river.
At one point, the vehicle comes upon a segment of the road where there are very clear cracks in either side, and the tree line is clear on either side. Mason slows down, and looks to either side, where trees are snapped off from their bases, uprooted, branches broken, or in some cases simply bent to either side. The broken trees form a line that crosses the road and is maybe 20 or 30 feet wide. When this segment of road is crossed, Mason steps on the gas, accelerating the engine much faster than the shift of the gear can match.
Mason enters the main road going north, and by this time the sun has set, and the remainder of the trip is in increasingly dwindling twilight, becoming full night by the time they meet the one checkpoint outside Baltimare. Posey is only minimally expected, and they make it to Licorice's manor, where he is up and about with Day Low Rain.

"They are a bit odd." Kira giggles. "They look really exotic though, a different kind of exotic from you ponies. You're exotic because, well, we never see any of you around where we live, while kirins are just, well...exotic! I've heard of lamias living within the Kirin Empire and the other kirin nations. An entirely different subspecies called 'fire lamias'. Supposedly they have fire magic, hence the name, and I've even heard some of them have the physical features of kirins! Very reclusive though, and apparently very territorial. I'm not sure if they're more or less territorial than the huge jungle lamias to the south of my tribe."

"I should have never gone out during the day, or crossed over and through all that water... Anything for the mission though... urgh!" Posey groans glassy-eyed, necrotic black veins visibly pulsing through the white fur on her face in what could be described as the undead equivalent to a migraine. Her fur appears blotched and patchy, and her mane is frizzy and discolored. Her face contorts erratically, at times seemingly feral as bat-like or wolf-like features push themselves to the surface. Despite being a daywalker, adventuring in such conditions doesn't come without its costs...
She distracts herself by combing her mane, brushing her fur, polishing her armor, checking her makeup as best as a pony can without a mirror, and generally trying to salvage her appearance.
>over creeks and in one instance, a true river.
Posey winces and yelps quietly at this, trying to suppress the visibility of her pain.

"I wonder what caused that...?" Posey wonders aloud
>by this time the sun has set, and the remainder of the trip is in increasingly dwindling twilight, becoming full night
"At last, the Night..." Posey says, her mood improving alongside her face, seemingly energized by the darkness. The blacked veins on her face fade away. Her fur becomes snowy white, seemingly absorbing the filth into itself. Her mane shines scarlet once more. Her eyes glow with that menacing golden aura. All monstrous, un-pony features fade from her face as she reclaims her comely and delicate appearance.
Posey performs all necessarily checks and charms with her improved modifiers to get past the checkpoint.
>Posey is only minimally expected, and they make it to Licorice's manor, where he is up and about with Day Low Rain.
"At last, I have returned, victorious!" Posey declares, puffing her chest out with a whirl of her cape, raising her sword in the air, her horn shining with a halo of sickening light in all her golden vainglory. A vain smugness betrays her normally paralyzed face and calm demeanor.
The Dread animated diamond dog arms levitate just behind her, one brandishing the electric polearm as if held by an invisible sentinel, the other gently leading the captured bitch by her shackles.
Behind her, the disguised ghoul drags the cylinder, saddlebags loaded with other spoils of the adventure.
The ghosts do whatever they want, I guess. Posey doesn't control them.

"Uh," He looks back towards Kira, mouth partly open, and then back to the road. He'd probably stare at her if navigating the streets of Baltimare were not so demanding.
"Fire magic and jungles and... what now?"

Oddly, the sun seemed a little less draining today than before. You could say she's getting accustomed to the sun, but Posey has gone through 22 hour days before, and did not acclimate. Still....
Day Low Rain, wearing a purple dress different than the last time, comes out with Licorice, who looks very pleased. It's hard to tell whether he is pleased with Posey, or with his existence generally. All the same, he says
"So... Tell us about today's exploits"

Guy stares at Amber for a few seconds, and then places a shirt on the top of a shelf and turns back to her
"Oh, yeah. There are a few, to be sure. Anarchism is mostly a pony thing here, mostly. Griffins tend to be a bit more fond of... structure."

There's also the fire lamias, the jungle lamias. Oh, and the sea lamias! They're absolutely massive and they have this extra potent venom that's supposed to be painless so you just go 'bleh' and drop dead without warning, but I've also heard they're constrictors so I don't know which one is true or if both of them are true or what. What I do know for sure is that they're actually really nice and like us they actually have settlements and a society and everything! They have fishing villages spread all along the coast of Southeastern Zebrica and the South Zebrides. They get blamed for ships mysteriously sinking in that region, but if you ask me I think it's the sea serpents doing it."

>"So... Tell us about today's exploits"
Posey recounts her adventure this past quest, in detail, speaking at such length and with such a bombastic voice that could only be done by a mare who apparently doesn't need to breathe. She recounts how she arrived in the swamp and looked for ways to cross the mire after seeing the bridge was out. She recounts how she moved across the abandoned airship inhabited by diamond dogs who made a futile attempt to resist her conquest, crushing them with her aura and lashing out with her swordsmanship, their bullets no no match for her. She exaggerates her battle with the wildcat, making it seem larger than life, but nonetheless explains how she made the beast turn tail with her aura. She mentions how she checked for damaged trees and craters that could have been signs of artillery fire. She mentions how she wandered the bottom of the stagnant bog, only to face off with a hydra.
The battle with the hydra takes up the longest potion of her story. She goes I to great detail about every swing and slash, everywhere the hydra bit her, how quickly her wounds healed due to her vampiric heritage (damage reduction carried her through that fight), how she cleverly summoned the amoebic crawlers to digest the hydra's wounds as it attacked her (although she omits the part where she failed to control the second crawler after she resummoned them), how she lashed out in the murky waters on unstable footing at the bottom of the lake, how she expended all of her spell powers fighting the creature but triumphed in the end, and how she climbed on top of its corpse and shouted with victory.
She goes on to express how she wandered through the forgotten battlefield with the swamp flowers, still searching for artillery. She continues to the clearing full of craters where she met the ghosts, hyping up how her charms as a spiritualist were all she needed to face such an encounter.
(At this point, the ghosts most interject to introduce themselves)
She explains the deal she made with the ghosts and the objects that they are anchored to.
She continues to how where she found a damaged shell in the clearing, and after determining it to be insufficient she went to another section of the swamp to and found another. She describes the horror as the ghastly drowners appeared, and how they were compelled to kneel before her powers. She moves on to the Odyssey home, describing how the ghasts dragged the hydra bones to the ship. She refers to how the ghasts attacked the diamond dogs in her steed, and show she finished the paralyzed dog to call upon the Artaaglith priest (she mentions how she has friends in low places) who animated the bones a huge bone Lurker and two dreads, the former of which she was sadly forced to bury to reclaim later. She recalls how she found the diamond dog prisoner, Sasha, and decided to take her with her. She finishes by expressing how she felt her powers grow after the adventure, and how she disguised the ghast with power drawn from her newly increased reservoir, before the journey home.
Posey recounts her adventure with oratory skill appropriate for her charisma score. I could also type it out in dialogue too, if you wish.

Licorice pours a glass of what seems to be whiskey (on the rocks) to sit in for Posey's long speech. Day Low Rain remains standing. Day Low Rain seems to be horrified, or at least pretends to be, for much of what is recounted, like the encounter with the hydra. Lament doesn't express much emotion, but nods his head at points.
The ghosts do indeed come out, and though Posey never sees all four at once it seems all of them take a visible blue form at points. Turn Card again is the boldest, and will stand by Posey's side. Day Low Rain is a little startled and Lament a little annoyed by the ghosts, though neither reacts as strongly as Mason did.
To the mention of the ghosts and the anchors, Day Low Rain says "Is that why I smell gasoline?"
Lament says
"You summoned a priest and took a prisoner?!"

Day Low Rain seems to be horrified, or at least pretends to be, for much of what is recounted, like the encounter with the hydra. Lament doesn't express much emotion, but nods his head at points.
The ghosts do indeed come out, and though Posey never sees all four at once it seems all of them take a visible blue form at points. Turn Card again is the boldest, and will stand by Posey's side. Day Low Rain is a little startled and Lament a little annoyed by the ghosts, though neither reacts as strongly as Mason did.
To the mention of the ghosts and the anchors, Day Low Rain says "Is that why I smell gasoline?"
Lament says
"You summoned a priest and took a prisoner?!"

Amber stares and blinks. "Well, I'm a pony, and I like my princesses and their religion. My coltfriend and his family does too. I'm not so sure on the nobles though. Are the ponies in Baltimare really so different?"

"Well, I mean you're from what, the cun-" He closes his eyes, looks away, and then looks directly towards Amber in a clear double take
"When did you get a colt friend?"

Is that a proud smile or an awkward smile?
He tilts his head, and has stopped what he was doing
"You have a second job?"

One of them, the vindictive pegasus, will sometimes have an odor of gasoline when he is near.
"What are you going to do with a prisoner?" and he adds "Someone could come looking for him. Or her."

Posey shrugs
>"What are you going to do with a prisoner?"
"Honestly, I haven't decided yet. For some reason if felt like a waste to leave her in the bog. She might die soon without medical attention though."
She looks over to Sasha, the animated arms being her forward
"Well, Sasha, what do you have to say for yourself?"
