>She speaks without confidence
"You can't even be sure if Curwhinny was a lich or not. And if this-" she brandishes the locket "really was a phylactery, then that means that Curwhinny is a lich just waiting to be released. It's my responsibility to identify the problem before it acutely gets worse." She replies
"A landslide, an earthquake, a flood, an astrological event, a change in local politics, a war. There's no shortage of factors that could change the behavior of undead and rouse them from their slumber. Knowing is half the battle. Besides, I owe it to Mr. Horizons to report any potential liabilities on the property to him." Posey says

>>176981
She visibly cowers down towards the floor.

“okay…”

>>176982
Silver gently pets the scared mare's mane.

"It is okay. Personal experience has taught me that undead are notoriously weak to bombs and guns."

>>176981
"It sounds as if you mean to open casket. Are you?"

>>176966
"I definitely think we'll see more of him! It's not just that he's a source of food for me, I really do think he came to like us and see us as friends, seeing well beyond our forms and origins to see that we're genuinely great creatures! And now that he sees that, I'm certain your charms will be even more effective on him!" Kira flicks her tongue as she smiles. "Some alcohol would be nice to have for occasions. I like a good glass of wine every now and then. How about you? Any beer, wine, or spirits you're a fan of?"

>>176983
>"It sounds as if you mean to open casket. Are you?"
"Before I decide that, I'm going to check if anything in it will leap out at us."

Posey casts Detect Undead.

>weak to bombs and gun
The white unicorn snickers.

>>176985
Silver sees that little unicorn snicker.

"What? How do you think I ended up dealing with army of undead that was holed up in these catacombs? I took potion to hide me from them, lured them out into quarry using smelly bait and gunshots, drew them over to unexploded bomb lodged in quarry wall, and blew it up from distance using rifle. Most were obliterated instantly, those that survived were missing such significant portions of their bodies that they were unable to move, making them easy targets to snipe. Only two that survived intact were undead knight and mummy as both were outside blast radius, and passing Roc that was lured by that same sticky bait I used tore both of them to shreds fighting over it."

>>176986
"If you think that's enough to destroy a lich, you might be disappointed."

>>176983
She is pet. She moves her hooves a little closer together to stand upright, and then moves back and by Silver’s side.

She raises her hoof
“Excuse me, I am weak to bombs and guns.”

>>176985
Nothing. Nothing in the casket. The walls next to Posey, however….

>>176986
“Passing Roc?”

>>176987
Silver seems a little unconvinced that a lich could survive being blown to literal pieces, or would even want to survive.

>>176988
Have we mentioned that Pear is a silly pony? Still, probably a smart decision to stand next to the strong and seemingly confident Silver.

"Yes, passing Roc. Those giant birds that hunt dragons? Came out of seemingly nowhere and started fighting mummy and undead knight for bait. It is why those two were in such terrible condition."

>>176988
>Nothing in the casket.
"No undead in this casket."
>The walls next to Posey, however….
Posey cautiously moves in that direction, concentrating on the spell to read the strength of the aura.

>>176990
And by move, I mean just aim the cone in that direction.

>>176988
Hmm...it could be they were smart enough to shuffle the caskets around, in case someone came snooping. Can Silver recall any other details about the casket that mark it as unique?

>>176984
“He’s a source of foo- oh, you mean the farm. I definitely want to see him again. Hopefully with alcohol. Yes, I like all alcohols. Well, most. Vodka is the best because it works the quickest, but I’ll take a cheap wine or beer. You have wine back in… where your from?

>>176989
No ur a silly pony

>>176992
Not… that I can recall

>>176990
It’s two, one on each side besides the casket. One is on the higher level (on the left) and one is on the lower level (on the right). Both are not especially strong, but probably muffled by the brick and stone.

>>176993
>Both are not especially strong, but probably muffled by the brick and stone.
If it's less than a foot of stone, Posey should be able to determine the aura strength.
A lich, by definition, has 11 or more HD, so it's aura strength would be overwhelming.

Posey squints as she aims her cone of detection up and down the catacombs.
"...I can't sense any auras that match that of a lich..."

>>176993
"Well yeah, did you think I meant I was going to eat him? Anyways, yeah, we've got wine, it's probably the most common option for alcohol we've got. There's beer, too, but I definitely prefer wine. I've never heard of vodka before."

>>176995
"Hmm...it could be they were wrong, and he was not in fact lich. It seems weird they would use their dying moments to write that warning for nothing, however. In that case he would likely be little more than skeleton. It is also possible he could be masking his aura, somehow, such as if he is in kind of stasis. Can you detect any kind of life signs?"

Posey takes out her notebook and begins writing something.

>>176997
>Can you detect any kind of life signs?
"I can detect magic, and I can detect undead. Anything else is outside my sphere of expertise."

>>177000
"Why not? Can you not just...reverse polarity of spell matrix?"

God fucking damn it

>>177002
Are you okay?

>>177002
yeah, whats up?

oh, lol

>>177004
>>177005
He's upset because he started a new thread and didn't get to use >>177000 to start it.
