>80 is too many
"You don't understand. This is a 440 foot freighter with five cargo holds that can carry at least twenty two million pounds of dry cargo, including hundreds of tanks, or tens of millions of rounds of ammunition. Fifty is a light crew for a vessel that size. And twenty marines with it is about the minimum just to man the anti-aircraft guns. It's dangerous, to be sure, if all of those are armed and against you. But your mission is not to seize the Kostroma. It is to rescue a few ponies, burn two engines and a radar, and leave.
As for Ammunition, make do. Borrow some from the communists if you have to."

"Another thing. Your group will be given at least one two way radio, a set of explosives, and a camera. The camera is specifically to take pictures of the destroyed KS-19's engines and radar to confirm the torch.
And while it may be an option... any requests for possible requisition of armor, weapons, ammunition, or utility items? I can't promise a request will be granted, but it may be considered."

Rosey Ring requests part of the payment up front to pay for the Swan Boat feather Token.
Also a piece of black fabric and some good ol' white lead paint, to paint a pirate flag to put on her polearm.
And any other pieces of pirate cosplay (hat, toy parrot, if available.

>And while it may be an option... any requests for possible requisition of armor
"A set of magic armor would be greatly appreciated, but otherwise I think I am prepared. Perhaps a tower shield, to provide cover from incoming fire. Maybe a Cloak Of Thorns.
>weapons
"If you have any least or lesser augmentation crystals, I would appreciate using one, such as a lifedrinking crystal or an energy assault crystal."
Also, a flamethrower, perhaps? I'm not a big firearms mare, but I'm able to use a flamethrower."
>ammunition
"I am proficient in a compound bow. Perhaps explosive ammunition? Grenade arrows? Grenades in general? Noxious Smokesticks? Tanglefoot bags?"
She lights up
"Eggshell Dust grenades. So cheap, yet so effective. I only brought a hornful with me, but if you have any I'll take them."
>utility items
"I STRONGLY SUGGEST investing in that Swan Boat feather token. It could mean a world of difference." She says again
"Otherwise, well, I could use scrolls or wands of any black weave or necromancy spells, although I would expect you to just have those lying around. Perhaps an amber amulet of vermin, I know they're not too pricey."
"I believe a healing belt or wand of lesser vigor could be worthwhile, although it's not a priority for me."
"And well... I could always use a new cape of charisma..."
Posey is a greedy mare.

"I will need a couple boxes of forty-five calibre ammunition at least. In addition, a camouflage net or tarp would be essential to hide on this barren island. As for freezing survivors, would you happen to have any chemical mixtures that would provide heat without light? Defiant Dust might make use of those, since a fire would give away our position."

You can't tell if an item is magic just by looking at it, lol.
But you can tell this barfing isn't magical because it doesn't even look masterwork. It looks like a cumbersome and grotesque patchwork of the bones of various demons. It actually looks like it would hamper its user in combat (-2 to attack rolls), but that's worth it for getting to demoralize on attacks.

"Ohhhhh" Shoal Water opens his jacket, pulls out a suspicious looking can, walks over, and hoofs it to Posey
"Here you go." It is a purple can with the words "PONYTHIRST" in white letters along its side.
>A flamethrower
"That's a bit beyond what we can allot. You aren't necessarily missing that much. Flamethrowers are extremely heavy, explody, not bullet-proof, and much less effective in open areas, which this is.

"Yes. You can also make ones that split into three copies, which is great if you also have a splitting bow, and cast Arrowsplit on top of it. Really great if make it an alchemist's razorfeather dragonsbreath arrow."
(This is why Mystic Ranger is better. Early access to Arrowsplit is awesome)

Kira's eyes almost seem to glaze over at Posey saying "alchemist's razorfeather dragonsbreath arrow".
Kira: "Uh...we just have these..." Kira pulls out an arrow from one of the two quivers on her person. The arrow seems to be an entirely mundane steel-tipped barbed arrow intended primarily for hunting. Thankfully, the lack of plate armor or even just metal armor on modern soldiers means that even these should be effective against any soldiers they come across, and would be an absolute pain to try to remove or treat. It should be noted that the arrow appears to be of excellent craftsponyship, and looks to be it's hoofmade rather than made in a factory. She may have even made them herself.

All magical equipment must - prior to enchantment - be "masterwork" quality (+1 nonmagical) which you can ascertain through an "appraise" check

The zeeb hears the word "necromancy" and immediately snaps out of whatever prayers he's been muttering in tbe corner. His eyes narrow as he stares at Posey. He's tense, but it doesn't look like he's going to do anything yet. He will be watching a bit closer than before now, however.

Roll Arcana to see if you know what blackweave spells are, and how they differ from spells that animate the dead (of which Posey has none, yet).
Or ask in character.

"There are a couple problems with your plan good Captain, but before we get into that I hope you'll indulge my curiosity. Where do these fine ponies fit into your scheming little plan? It seems unnecessary to link them to a major international incident as changeling collaborators, and I'll wager they will have a much more difficult time of replacing their documents than I will. I credit the cleverness of your idea, but you see these ponies can't survive as fugitive criminals."
He pauses, and allows the idea to sink in around.
"And then there's the question of if I refuse! Surely you won't drag me away to toss my body in the vicinity just to satisfy your preplanned narrative, and if you tried there are several here who I am confident wouldn't stand for it regardless of what they think of me. So tell me Captain, tell me everything."

Yes, it’s a threat. It’s directed specifically at Brie. Whether the details of the threat are true… it seems to be made up on the spot. But the message is clear. He who fucks around, shall sooner or later, most assuredly find out.
“The quartermaster is elsewhere. He works for R&M, not me. I will call him so your equipment may meet you at the airport. Any items that are more difficult to procure or budget for can be acquired from the naval base at Manehattan and meet you at the airport there.”

“It would be unnecessary, wouldn’t it? Completely unnecessary. As for these… ponies… I have stated already where they fit into my plans. Thus far I trust them to execute their part. And if you refuse? Well, tell us now. We’re not paying for your return from Manehattan if you aren’t up to the task.”

Remember, I'm the reason your reports were written. I'm sure they list something to the degree of "Potential liability, but unquestionably effective." or any variation thereof. I have emphasized for explosives because I anticipate they will be necessary - an anticipation that has been confirmed, as details emerge - because from the little you've told me we're likely dealing with a commandeered freighter that for reasons yet to be determined were likely able to get the drop on a 10 pony crew of professional military. This already suggests that it isn't Stalliongrad, but you already know that, don't you?"

"A bit more information, since Mr. Cavalierie asked. I don't believe that the Kostroma was carrying a full load of ore or timber or whatever it was. The ship was only medium-low in the water, and going at an unusually high speed, and this was true even before it got to Sirius, and did not change thereafter."

"Okay, so this is about that damned freighter. Fair enough I suppose. First of all, it really isn't that hard to shoot down a blimp that's been following you for days. The ship has a 120 mm gun and 20mm canons. All that it would take is the KS-19 to get a little to close, and the will to do it. Admittedly I didn't expect either, yet here we are.
I have no idea what is or was on that freighter. It may have been empty, had a jammed rudder, or even been derelict for all I know. The only thing I know for damn sure is that I do not trust my own government to get them home because they are more concerned with that damned ship. I don't care what was on that freighter. I care that Military Intelligence caused one of my blimps to be lost pursuing it. And frankly, you should hope that you aren't dealing with Stalliongrad. Do you really want to deal with an 80 pony crew and an army contingent both fighting together against you?"

"I,... we... I think, can handle a Stalliongrad battallion. I'm more concerned that it might be a more coordinated paramilitary group, taking advantage of certain appearances to get the drop on, commandeer, and utilize an industrial freighter, and then compromise a military airship. I reiterate, the necessary coordination - disciplined coordination - suggests that at best Salliongrad may be involved but not calling the shots."

Zone of Truth is a 2nd level Cleric spell
Zone of Truth is a 2nd level Cleric spell
OOC: It's probably (definitely) not a good idea to waste all of our spell slots on things that are absolute non-issues before we even get to Manehattan, much less Mended Horn.
To clarify, Zone of Truth would bind every player speaking (who wilfully fails their saving throw) to not go against anythingbthey said during the spell (cuz otherwise it would be false).
There are exceptions for people pushing their will save, but I argue that a willful save could be detected by a spot and/or sense motive check.
The point is, ooc, Im not gonna try to kill anyone, Im not gonna try and double cross anyone. Brie's backstory is BUILT off surviving a double cross.
Zone of Truth, plz

We already established that the Cleric has already prepared all of his spell slots without leaving them open, which means that he would need to wait until next dawn to prepare that spell, by then the Marines would have already frozen to death. We don't have that magic on hand, and even if we did that would make it one less spell slot to heal and buff the party. If you want it that bad, go buy a scroll of it with your own gold, and then ask the Cleric to cast it for you.
This is unnecessary. You could just make your character pretend to be trustworthy and not act suspicious and weird.

"Does Stalliongrad use its merchant freighters to move dissidents - in this case, presumably Northern Tribe rebels or griffin leftists who think a little too independently - all the way across an ocean to another continent so they can be 'reeducated' or put into labor camps? I don't know. I know that we do. Maybe there was a rebellion on a prisoner ship. Maybe ELF or some Nova Griffonian group did it. I don't really know. Just hope they don't care about the airship."

"Magic isnt my forte, but truth spells (can speak from experience) are very unforgiving in many cases. You can avoid resisting the spell and be observed NOT resisting.
Lets go with that one.
Additionally there are contract spells, the latter of which would be to complicated to procure at such an odd time.
I'd venture to guess that my Valet is currently being proselytized by one right now; a capable priest, that is

Kira giggles at Rover's question. "Well, 'seduce' is one way of putting it, I suppose. I dunno, I like you. I haven't met anyone like you in the city so far, so...I'd like to meet up with you sometime, see how we get along, and maybe see where we go from there."

Dust looks between the unicorn, the cheese bat, and back and forth a few times. He sighs
"Since I have arrived you have been at each other's throats
And had the attitude of a bloated goat
Over your problems I shall not dote
You cannot seem to get along,
And your disagreements ring a clanging gong.
If it is not that you two cannot find peace
Like kirin I will make you until your bickers seize."
With that, he picks up his equipment, slings it over his back, and slowly plods to the truck.

>You should talk.
Seriously dude? Seriously.
I did everything in my power to be part of the party, in spite of the nature of my character.
I buffed party members with my limited resources, to show them Rosey was supporting them.
I hid my alignment, so that the paladin wouldn't have any conflicts of faith.
I refrained from wearing my foreign allegiances on my sleeve.
But you:
>*threatens to kill the entire of the party ooc*
>Btw, I'm evil
>Did I tell you some of my best friends are changelings?
>Wtf, why are you not giving me sensitive military information
>I'm gonna try to coerce the quest giver with my tiny mod
>I'm suddenly okay with having enchantment spells cast on my that make me cooperative, not that we have any of those spells. Could I just roleplay cooperating anyway? Nah
Come on

"Silver Sword, was it?"
Rosey Ring draws her fancy +2 alchemical silver longsword
"I've been looking to see this, to find my research. It's served me well to slay monsters: the kind that refuse to die. They're not so common in these lands though." She says, wistfully
"If you would be interested in buying it, I would allow you to use it for today, as a trial test. I think you might find it very reliable."
She says, levitating the only handheld weapon that could reliably kill her, hilt first.

Silver takes the sword in his magic by the hilt and looks over the offered weapon. He sees how it handles, gives it a couple of light swings (not in Posey's direction), and examines it in detail. "Hmm...good craftsponyship, superb balance. Alchemical silver is difficult to make and even more difficult to work. Not many smiths know how to forge even simple dagger out of material, let alone entire longsword. I must say it does not...exactly, go with your current ensemble, if that is why you are selling it. Though I am curious if you are asking if I wish to rent this sword, or if you are asking if I want to try it out before I commit to buying it?"

Kira: "I will, I promise!"
Unless Rover has any other questions or things he wants to say to Kira...

The pony says,
"Hey, I'm trying to open pony's eyes to the truth. Spread the good word, and tell them how much better the world could be. If some of them reject that message, that's on them. That's not me harassing."
Shoal Water
"Oh yeah, that's the one."
Pony:
"... I'm not soliciting. I'm just trying to spread harmony."
Shoal Water:
"Yeah, sure. Now could you just get your tree or whatever your god is to put a zone of truth on this bat pony here?"
Pony:
".... Why?"
Shoal Water:
"I don't know either. Now if you could just do it, we can get on our plane and you can get back to harassing ponies on the street corner."
Pony:
"It's not harassing, it's-"

"I don't care. Just shut up and do it."
Pony:
"Okay..." He turns his attention to Brie
"Random Bat... I call upon Harmony and the Element of Honesty. Speak only the Truth"
poof

I would like to get expansion built onto my home, maybe purchase my own workshop here in town and open my own blacksmith shop. This of course is not even to mention all of creatures I would spend my money on as well. Besides," Silver says, as he unsheathes his own greatsword, a great big and ornately-designed weapon in its own right, "I have magic sword of my own."
>>178883
Silver: "Oh! If that is what you wished to do, it is much appreciated. You would have to ask Mala to see if he would like it."
I was wondering how long it would take for Silver to show off his big, silver sword to Posey.
"According to the fine print, it may be a +2 Short Sword. Im no mage, Im just saying what aim td"
>>178886
Oh shit, is it actually silver? I thought it was just a regular magic sword. Huh. Nevermind about Silver saying he'd like an actual silver sword.

Meta, GM said it's a silver sword, although idk if it's alchemical silver or shiftsilver (in which case it would be worth about 1100 gp more)

"Oh, it's the real deal alright. It has that bitter sting that makes the walking dead writhe in agony." She says, biting her lip slightly

Hey, it's been a while since Silver got the sword. I can't remember every detail of every item in the game.
I suppose though this means Posey has more incentive to keep Silver on her good side. Silver has arguably an even better weapon than her longsword for killing undead.

The striped fellow raises an eyebrow at necrologist, and the implication of having using necromancy. It almost looks as if he might reach for a weapon for a fleeting moment, but he decides against it before continuing to slowly plod to the truck. He mutters to himself.
Posey has definitely marked herself in Dust's eyes though, she might want to watch herself.

We'll see there buddy, for now the cleric remains untainted, free to purify another day.
He does soften a little though, perhaps there's just a misunderstanding. After all, these ponies have such strange ways and manners of speech. If he didn't know better he'd think Posey just tried to seduce him.

All of the creatures get into the truck. Shoal Water gets into the front. Mala gets in and sits near Silver, but is less averse to Kira now. He examines the short sword.
The truck drives through town and to the edge. At some point, it comes to a fenced off area that has a guard booth. The truck is allowed through, and onto a field with pavement. There are a few buildings adjacent to it, but it's not a big facility.
They are let out of the truck.
There are about three single prop planes with blue paint. Posey may recognize them as of the same variety, and likely including the same plane, as the trainer she saw in the swamps further south.

"I would hazard to guess that. It's an odd choice, three smaller planes instead of one larger one. It could be that the Captain doesn't want to risk all of us in case of an accident or other emergency."
Shoal Water to Silver:
"Oh no. Not one of those. The Skytrotter. To the right."
It's a twin prop aircraft with a slightly rounded nose, a long fuselage with quite a few windows, an open door with stairs that fold out near the tail, and a green paint scheme. It has insignia of two horseshoes opposed to each other behind the door and before the empennage. It's engines are already on.
Silver may recognize the design as one proposed for a civilian plane before the war which didn't quite pan out economically.
>>178961
She can try.
>>178962
Oh. Okay.

Both Silver and Kira look at the plane in question, and in unison go, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." They then look at each other, and share a laugh together. Kira seems a bit disturbed by Cavaliere's description of an accident, but Silver helps to keep her calm and promises to sit next to her. Having a strong pony like Silver nearby seems to help keep her cool and composed. Silver looks back to Mala.
Silver: "Come on, Mala, it is time to fly."
Silver and Kira head for the plane, with Silver getting on first and helping Kira up second. They sit together towards the back of the plane.

Since we're at the plane and all, Brie would exchange words with his Valet, who had dilligently (a d without killing anyone) retrieved his "sensitive" belongings

Shoal Water:
"Minor change of plans. Customs didn't want to provide armament. Something about constantly losing ponies and equipment to the 'black hole of Manehattan' or something. That's fine, we can save time anyways. Better to arm at Manehattan. The Naval base there is the center of the entire fleet now, and less will be missed if it leaves."
As the first creatures enter into the plane, they see that the seats face inwards and don't look very comfortable. The area behind the door is a cargo area with netting to keep things from moving into the passenger area. The walls are painted aluminum
A green Pegasus in a blue uniform standing in the door of the cockpit greets with "g'day"

Kira replies with "g'day!" with a giggle as she copies the pony's accent. Silver has a chuckle at this and nods his greeting at the pony. Kira looks at the netting in teh cargo area, and wonders if she can repurpose some of it as a sort of seat belt to keep her from sliding about in the passenger area. She's got a lot less friction on these sorts of hard surfaces than ponies, after all.
In addition, seeing the seating arrangements, Kira is still more than willing to lend her tail as a more comfortable bench seat for the party members.

Silver: "We are still getting our supplies, Brie, it just means we are getting them in Manehattan rather than getting them here."

Cavaliere is a bit surprised by this. "Your superiors won't come down on you for that?"
"Would you happen to be our pilot? I'm not sure how much the Captain has briefed you, but I am sure he has given us the best available."

Shoal Water:
"Oh don't worry. Flying is pretty safe."

The pegasus pilot says,
"Woah Woah. We've had enough planes explode in mid air to know better than to allow passengers to just carry suspicious packages onto a plane without checking them first."
>>178976
Shoal Water:
"The less we use, the better."
Pegasus
"Oh yeah, I'm pilot for this flight. We'll be going to Manehattan, offloading some cargo and refueling, then off to Trottingham Naval Base, which is our final destination."

Brie looks off into a direction. Almost a direction one would expect a camera to be positioned, except there isnt one.
"I dont want to HAVE to kill this pony," he says out loud

Rosey Ring looks at the fourth wall after Brie's statement
"What do you say chat? Should I kill this bat? Let's set the donor goal at 1000 bits."

Pilot:
"You know as well as I do that the former Governor of Manehattan was killed when his plane exploded three months ago. It was a bomb, and it was on a plane just like this one. I ain't here to get blown up. I'm here to fly the plane."
>>178983
Cavaliere would perceive that Posey never rolled a will save throw and therefor couldn't have done that bullshit.
Pilot:
"Yeah, somewhat. Don't worry, we will keep east of it. But if you see Stalliongradian fighters out the windows, let us know."

He early doesnt appreciate why Silver is mad* but is willing to accomodate, if with askance facial gestures.

I believed myself to be immune. I wouldn't have done that if I had known I wasn't.

[1d20+9 = (12+9) = 21]
I'm going to open up Terrors Of The Deadlands and check out the "no immunity to mind affecting" undead weakness to check what its offset was. Then I'll adjust my sheet accordingly.

Magehold is scrying on her through her necrotic cyst. They seem to mostly just demand that she fucks or kills more priests.

Okay…
Though, besides the suspiciously specific denials, some of which are not even related to necromancy, she mentioned not prostituting herself for magic favors, and immediately started seducing a cleric. Quite odd, but I'll play along.
>>178991
No, he means he didn't see her struggle to lie. There's a difference.
>>178987
"If their fighters crossed the border, we would have worse things to worry about than what we need to do," he replies plainly. "You've done the pre-flight checks? We need to be on our way immediately."

No. No. No. Fuck no.
Your Character is already Powergamed bullshit that I'm 90% sure you cheated on the ability scores for and which multiple players have complained about. Which I have complained about. I'm not adding "Immune to all mind affecting magic" to that list of bullshit superpowers.
