>I wish my mom taught me such things when I was your age.
"Huh, and I was under the impression that Gnolls typically began battlaxe training around age four. The more you know." Posey replies, casually
>I can look after him
Posey seems a bit less trusting of the griffon
"....Hmmmmm.."
>We've got a nice place and several colts just a little older than him here.
This does afford me the opportunity to roleplay the 'creepy kid' among the other foals, so for the sake of convenience and fun let's go with that.
Posey realizes that we live in a society and in Equestria it is *not* customary to bring children to the battlefield, and she should avoid doing so in front of customs.
She slowly walks over to Gloomy.
"Gloomy, momma needs to go off to work now. I know I told you that I would bring you with me on my next adventure, but this is a little much for you, so say here, alright?"
Gloomy Sundae's ears droop
".. yes, momma..."
"Good colt. Be sure to practice your sigils. If anyone hurts you, just scratch your special talisman, and momma will send a monster to kill them all."
>Begin swimming to the horseshoe of Baltimare, watch the house with [insert description here], and await my orders. You're free to help yourself to fish to pass the time.
Posey mentally commands her minion

Rosey Ring just smiles in response
"I think I am ready to go. Luckily I brought my equipment to that otherwise boring exorcism."

The gnoll lowers his head and looks down
"I didn't... they made me go to pony school..."
The ecru stallion ("Stallion" being generous. He's like 19) approaches gloomy
"Well hello there little bugger"
The griffin says,
"Oh don't worry. We have a television, a radio, and Silver here has brought quite a few toys for them to play with. We even have a cook."
But she does look over to Silver

"You think it will be safe without you or... the hyena around?"

Posey gasps
"That's so sad." She says
"I have great respect for Gnoll culture, especially warfare and religion. I performed some services at the local temple recently. You should give it a visit some time. I have a hunch that the Temple is going to experience a bit of a.. Renaissance soon."
(I was working on a statblock for the resurrected Agire as a Gravetouched ghoul, if anyone was interested. I was aiming for Cleric lvl 3-5 with the Hunger and Demonic Domains. Not sure if standard or Cloistered Cleric.)

"Really?" He pokes his head up and looks at Posey. "I can't say that I've been to Temple since... well, since my mother died. I joined a uh... I joined a society and they had, well, it wasn't our traditional religion. Honestly I can't say I'm entirely familiar with all of the fighting styles and details of religion of Kaftaria... I've lived in this city most of my life. Maybe even all of it. It's all I know, really..."
>>177894
Yes. Mala comes back with him. Mala has the pistol and both swords.

"Neela Pheeta" She offers a split hoof to Defiant Dust.

"In Farbook, we believe it's important to keep in touch with our cultural roots: it how we survive, in spite of our unfortunate geographic proximity. Religion is important, especially in the face of dread." Posey says, nonchalantly
"The Gnoll fighting style consists mostly of battle-axes, spears and flails, so you didn't miss very much on weapons training. I consider them geniuses when it comes to guerilla warfare and tracking though; they're somehow always able to maximize enemy casualties despite being outnumbered." She continues
"Of course, more extreme Gnolls might not be so welcoming to an infidel of their kind, but if you ever find yourself in trouble in that neighborhood, tell them 'Rosey Ring sent me to seek the Angel's guidance', and they'll come around and welcome you in."

He looks down
"When I was brought here, my father, my mother and I were the only gnolls around. They had to send me to pony school. It... it's didn't work out well for me. There were more gnolls but I can't really say I understood the culture. Where I ended up, it was mostly griffins who taught me. Griffins and zebras. I lived with some crocutta. I knew a few Kaftar, yes. Even religious Kaftar but... It didn't really seem like I was a part of that. When I learned to fight, it was on the streets. I learned how to use a gun, and how to use a sword. How to use a machete like a sword. This Silver Sword here, he took me in. He showed me respect. He seems to think that I should be... well, more like a pony. To fit in with and live with the ponies."

"It's all part of my profession." Rosey Ring replies, flatly
>>177904
Posey shrugs
"Do as you will. I'll admit that I had some ulterior motives: I wanted to help Agire out with his new flock. He's going through some... difficult changes, and the responsibility of being next in line to lead the temple could be burdensome. A new Gnoll visitor to his temple could be just the encouragement he needs to jumpstart his ambitions." She says, nonchalantly

"Oh? Well thats disappointing, and after coming all this way and waiting ever so patiently. I swear, these days what with all the paperwork and the bureaucracy, its a wonder anything gets done. There will be the matter of my retainer, unfortunately."

The two slither up along the sidewalk into town. Just ignore the screaming ponies that run away... Or the cars that honk their horns. They are just haters.
The two creatures slither up to a big, brick building with rectangular windows. Across the street from the entrance, leaning against a lamp post, is a minotaur cow with a red mane, brown coat, and wearing a black, leather jacket and dark jeans. She smokes a cigarette, wears sunglasses, and has a slightly irritated, but mostly neutral expression. She gives a singular wave of the hoof to each respective creature, first to Kira, and then
And to the right, is the entrance to the Revenue and Migration Services office of Baltimare
>>177906
"Retainer?" He raises an eyebrow
>>177905
His ear twitches
"Agirê Bêdawî, the priest? He is dead."

Kira gasps upon seeing the creature, holding her hooves up to hold the sides of her head, as her eyes become quite large. She exclaims in excitement, "A minotaur!" before slithering up to the poor creature just trying to enjoy her smoke break. "Wow! I've never seen one of you in person! You're just simply amazing!"

The bat smiles sympathetically, and then all pretense of politeness washes from his face, his voice low and getting increasingly gravelly.
"I can tell you're not aware of the situation, so let me tell what two possible outcomes there are to the situation at hand.
By now Miss Skies has found a cadre of armed ponies who are making their way here with haste. Thankfully, she will have the good sende to stay behind.
Now, when those ponies arrive the question is, will I have killed you as a proxy for whoever has had the poor judgement to have wasted my time." its not a question. Sips tea.

Rosey Ring speaks in a hushed tone, leaning in
"There was a miracle, by the Angel's grace." She whispers
"But keep it to yourself, unless you wish to get involved. It's a kaftar secret." She continues, before turning away
"It is a shame that Agire is dead though." She speaks, loudly enough for anyone else to hear this time
Bluff for deception + innuendo
[1d20+14 = (18+14) = 32]
How long does it take for the truck to arrive

He sighs. It’s a deep tired sigh. He raises both hooves above his face and brings them together as if in a prayer
“I’m guessing you’re new here. I’m going to give you a chance to say exactly the same thing - literally exactly the same thing - minus the part where you threaten a federal officer with death, and no less, do it in a location with multiple active guards with submachine guns, no less. Next time, you will not receive the same leniency. I genuinely don’t give a shit who you think you are. If you make yourself a threat for… well, for literally no reason, then you will be addressed as a threat.”

"Ah!" The mare ducks
A minute later, a couple ponies come out. One is familiar. A copper colored earth pony stallion, wearing a cattlemare's hat and carrying a bayonetted rifle, walks over. He places the rifle on a sling and walks directly up to Kira. And then he places a hoof under her chin, and starts to give her scritches
"Why hello again."

The truck parks. Parade Pass is the first to get out, followed by Mala, Posey, and Silver. Next to them is a brick building with a pair of guards at the entrance. Across the street, leaning against a street lamp, and smoking a cigarette, is a brown minotaur cow with a neutral expression, sunglasses, a black leather jacket and dark jeans. She watches them as they enter, and gives a nod to Silver and then to Posey.

Kira smiles, and closes her eyes upon receiving the chin scratches. She's very happy to see a familiar face.
"Hello again, Rover! I took your guys' advice and came here to Customs to look for work."

Silver nods to the minotaur as they pass. As he enters the building, Silver stops and pauses at the sight of a large pony-snake hybrid creature thing wearing armor and carrying a bow and spear getting chin scritches from a pony. That is...definitely not what Silver expected to see today.

Amber sees writing and symbology that she recognizes.
Of the portion that is both chiselled into the stone and weathered, Amber can see the words "Seiedi of the Bear of the Costal Forest." And "Here the Spirits gather and Converse with the Bear." She also sees a symbol that she recognizes as the great World Tree growing up from the ground until it touches the North Star in the tail of the Little Bear. What is scribbled with tar is an inelegant mirror of the world tree below the ground. Also added is what kind of looks like a sun rising over a horizon, but it has an eye. In a few instances harshly etched into the stone with what was likely an icepick, and far more often drawn with charcoal or tar, are a few phrases that Amber can recognize.
"The Spirits Meet"
"My Dear Kesätuuli. Only two years, but now we will have you forever!"
"The Seraph brings with him the whole of Heaven"
"The Sun will melt all and bring plenty"
"Kulkunen, you shall dance with me again"
But these messily scratched phrases are the exception. Most of what is written is not readible. Some of these words, though not recognizable to Amber, are written in letters and characters that Amber can at least recognize as letters and characters. Maybe they are in some foreign or forgotten language. Some are symbols or runes that Amber could imagine belong to some deep tradition known to some but not to her.
But much of what is scribbled onto the rock... is pure gibberish. Purely unintelligible. Something that could not be produced by any sane adult mind known to Amber
Father and the Stallion walk up, and take position nearish Amber, using the rock as cover as they watch the gathering.

Kira is scritch scritch scritched
Kira blushes, and smiles even wider. It's not very often she's called beautiful. She's not even sure if she's ever been called beautiful before. "D'awwwww. You really think so? Anyways, I'm up for anything, and I know I can do anything you have need of! I'm an excellent scout, I'm super sneaky, I'm great with a bow. I just need to do something to get the attention of the governor, and show him that lamias are worth consideration!"
It's at this point that Silver makes his presence known to the two by clearing his throat. Kira turns towards the source of the sound.
Silver: "Excuse me, we are ponies that were asked for for some special mission from Navy. Is this correct place?"

Kira looks down at the snow white mare in her chain outfit, and smiles at her.
Kira: "Oh, hello! You're not afraid of me either! My people call ourselves 'lamias'. I don't know if there's an actual difference between lamias and nagas or if they're the same thing. I'm Kubana Kirafiki, but you can call me Kira!"

Kira: "You and this other pony are here for a job? Can I join you? Please?"
Silver: "Hmm...she does have some valuable skills, and we could always use extra help." Silver trots up to the lamia, and offers her a hoof to shake. "I am Silver Sword. It is nice to meet you, Kira."
Kira smiles and shakes Silver's hoof quite excited, actually shaking the pony slightly from the vigor she exudes. Kira is very excited to have met so many creatures in one day that aren't afraid of her, and Silver is just entertained by the novelty of meeting such an exotic creature.
Kira: "It's great to meet you both!"
It's hard to tell exactly how many vertebrae she has in her tail, as a large bulge easily the size of a large adult stallion in her tail breaks up the normal silhouette of Kira's lamia form. Is there something inside of her?

The copper watt pong stallion, wearing a cattle mare’s hat, a green jacket, and with bayoneted rifle slung over his back says,
“Well I’m not sure about the mares here, but the stallions, if you are looking for that mercenary job with the Navy, go on back
>>177949
Free Rover approaches Kira again
“Ah, Kira, you’re much too soft for the Navy job.” He looks down
“Oh good, you ate the deer.”
>>177950
Silver: "Deer?"
Kira: "What? Oh, no, she's back at home. I bought a goat from a farm outside of town yesterday. Please, just give me a chance! I need this, my tribe needs this. I can't fail them!"

>Well I’m not sure about the mares here, but the stallions, if you are looking for that mercenary job with the Navy, go on back
How have these ponies lived in a society where most of the most notable and powerful figures in history are mares, and still think only stallions would be mercenaries?
Rosey Ring just walks past him.

>tribe
"You have a whole tribe? Splendid..." The unicorn says, not elaborating as she walks towards the back.

The stallion
"Oh yeah, there was this little bugger who was picked up in a raid mopping up cultists and traffickers from that big bust last week, and she had a false name and everything. We caught her, but this snake here took pitty on her for some reason, so she volunteered to take her in
Looking back to Kira
"Damn it." He sighs, and then leans over, as if he has to lean down to talk to Kira at eye level, which he does not need to do.
"Kira. This could be real combat. Where you could die. or you could kill. Do you really want that?"
>>177955
>>177954
Because he knows Kira is soft from personal matters and Rosey has taken the time to look pretty, which doesn't look very warrior like to him

Posey keeps walking until she finds the pony she believes to be holding the bits for the job.

Silver: "Is that from Hoebuck? I was part of that group that cleared them out. Could be that deer was just caught up in it all, maybe. We did not find any among cultists we faced."
Kira: "I...I know the risks. I have to take it, though. My people depend on me. I can not fail them."

He gasps
"You were?! Oh. Uh. Yeah. Well, in directly. Of course they weren't there the night it happened, but uh... Well you see the Deer told us a different name than was on her visa, which she had overstayed by several years. And she was with known criminals. I think she was lying."
He takes a hoof and holds her mane
"You are very kind." He says. "But... Well I don't know exactly what's coming. But I know it isn't made for the kind. I could have been in Wingbardy, but instead I'm right here. You can see that. Maybe you should be too."

Silver looks at the stallion with suspicion at the sudden changes to his story. "Mmhmm."
Kira: "Pleeeeeeaaaaaaasssseee?"

Cavaliere goes to have a decent meal, with whatever cuisine that griffons can stomach. Afterwards, he visits several nearby bars, though he drinks very moderately (let me know what an appropriate cost would be). While out, he solicits information concerning Folded Holly and his family.
Gather Information: [1d20-1 = (9-1) = 8]
Finally, he returns to his hotel room and rests until morning.

To Silver
"Yes. Don't trust the deer."
He pets her
"But you're so adorable. Are you sure you have what it takes?"
He ignores the bitchy one.
>>177963
He gathers a bit more than none. But less than desired.
The bed is actually pretty comfortable. He awakens the next day not knowing what it will bring. But he knows how he must ready himself for it.

He sighs, and then scritches her chin again
"Good luck. Would you like me to direct you to him?"

Toast, pancakes and eggs available upon request, as well as a decent variety of fruits and cheeses. He gets a copy of the Baltimare Sun to read, where the big stories concern a potential merger of the Tail Sails Shipping Company with a foreign company - though even the paper has to admit this is unlikely to be accepted by the government - and an attempted suicide in jail by a prominent politician recently arrested on... charges greater in scandal than even the average back in Weter. There's an editorial about how the griffins aren't integrating into society well, and another praising the stern stance taken by the Governor of Manehattan against organized crime, and wishing they'd do it here.
But we need to quickly get Garv to Customs

Kira excitedly reaches forward, and hugs Free Rover with her hooves. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She lets go of him, and nods to his question. "Yes please, if you don't mind."
Silver: "Alright, looks like we have scout. Lead on, then."

Cool!
>>177970
He enjoys some eggs, fresh fruit and cheese in a meal that most Equestrians would envy. He afterwards enjoys a cup of cappuccino and a cigar while reading the news, and mulls over how these events might lead to fresh work.
While relaxing, he keeps an eye out for anything interesting in the hotel. Perhaps somepony might want to have a word with him….

Silver also has Mala join the group. Kira looks quite interested in the hyena/gnoll, but keeps it in for now until they're finished with this introduction.

So, when everypony DOES come upon, they will come upon a sleek black leather threnchcoat wearing bat, who I'll describe in detail if desired. His ees woulddance from pony to pony - resting with recognition on Silver - before returning to (fug, gotta go last 100, one sec,... the guy)
Swagmare!
>>177977
Silver tilts his head upon seeing the bat, slowly also coming to recognize who it is. "...Brie?"

Posey's a strong independent mare who don't need no stallion and who don't need no adventuring party. She walked right past him and kept walking. She probably eventually found a supply closet. Maybe a bathroom. Maybe even a back door to lead herself out of the building.
>>177976
Mala stays on the other side of Silver away from Kira. If Kira looks, she'll see a strange looking dog-like creature that sometimes looks over to her. Perhaps Kira recognizes him as being a Kaftar gnoll
>>177977
>who I'll describe in detail if desired
Do it.
>>177973
From the door, a stallion in a military uniform walks in. The hotel staff are clearly confused and uncomfortable, but they don't intervene
"Cavalliere? There are... whispers. I don't know if it will come to anything, but if you wouldn't mind being on standby..."

Getting no indications from Swagmare, Brie disengages for a moment and puts on his happy face.
"It seems so, despite my best efforts. Its been some time Silver, how have you been? I think it was the train heist we last saw eachother."

I didnt mean this instant, Ill wait till he takes his coat off
>>177981
Silver: "Hmm, I did not hear of train heist. No, I think last we saw each other was when we raided Comte's home, and rescued those colts and those drones. I have been fine. How about yourself? You managed to survive being in Changeling territory?"
>>177980
Kira takes a keep interest the the gnoll. She waves at him and gives him a friendly smile, which seems to be her trademark. "Hello! I'd heard there were gnolls in Equestria! Who are you?"

Cavaliere raises an eyebrow as continues reading his newspaper. "Standby? As much as I am enjoying these fine surroundings, I'd rather you let me know precisely what you mean to have me do." He returns a cigar back to his beak.

"Oh thats right, the train was a different merry band, wasn't it? They all jumble together after a while. I've managed to keep busy, nothing I can speak on of course - the boys are growing nicely by the way - when a little bird landed on my window about,... well whatever this is."
