The description given before stands. That is to say, that as Posey is examining the flowers on the ground above the catacombs, she notices a pair of creatures get out of a truck that parks itself next to the empty lot. Out come a pony in a military uniform, and what Posey can recognize as a Kaftar gnoll. They are looking around and wander about. Posey can interact or not, but she'd most likely notice their presence.

"I'm a lamia. We're from Zebrica. I know, it's weird that I look like a pony on one half and a snake on the other. But I promise you, I'm just as friendly as any proper pony!" She continues to smile to try to punctuate that point.

Posey decides to cautiously observe the military, while pretending to examine flowers (she was faking it anyway)
Bluff checks to lay low while actually observing them, perhaps wandering as close as she dares if necessary to overhear activity.

>>177735
They move around, look inside of the tent and have a quick conversation with the ponies in there, they go to a tent, and then they approach an automobile next to the dilapidated house. Finally, they walk over towards the quarry, and descend into it, and out of Posey's field of view (unless she comes close enough to watch them).

Posey briefly steps out of sight and removes her chain shirt (which takes one minute), perfecting her civilian disguise, folding it in her saddlebag. She then slowly follows the soldiers
>"What would the military want to do with this place? Could it be that they know of a hidden mystery to this dungeon?"
She thinks to herself
She then approaches after the military

Kira looks rather hurt by the accusation of being a monster. "I'm not a monster! I just...I'm not trying to attack you, I just needed you to be calm, to explain to you that I'm just here to buy some wine. Look," she shows him the crates of kitchenware that she's got tied to her. "I've already been shopping at the kitchen supplies store just down the road. I asked the nice stallion at the counter if he knew a good place for buying wine or alcohol and he pointed me over here. Please...can we just...start over? Act like I'm like any other customer coming into the store to make a purchase?"

Wait. I messed up the description. It is not military. While the truck driven is the same general logistics truck M35 duce and a half driven by the military, the pony is not in a military uniform. He is instead in a similar looking uniform that Posey might understand as belonging to Customs officers. The Kaftar gnoll has on, of all things, a wool sweater

>>177738
"I'm not sure you should be here..." The colt says, though sheepishly, and as if aware of the imbalance of power in the situation

This makes Posey much more cautious because they could possibly be here to arrest Posey having discovered her foreign connections, but she approaches anyway because I'm bored and this advances the plot.
She follows cautiously, light on her hooves and ready to eliminate any creature that attacks her.

Jakala sits upright on top of the sled. It isn't ideal because she is likely visible. But the filly doesn't seem to feel a need to move away from it.

Amber walks around to see that the area all around the stone has been disturbed, it is unambiguously cracked down the center, and upon taking a closer look, it appears to be both physically chipped and damaged by something, but also clearly marked. Some of the markings are presumably older and chiseled into the stone. But a great many are with charcoal or tar or some kind of writing, and they cover much of the stone.

>Would she want to, or try to leave?
With no reason to stay, she logically would, but Iit is also part her mission to investigate the weaknesses in this nation, and that means collecting first hand information on how customs took down her allies before arrival.
Plus she hasn't killed anyone in almost a whole day, so she's getting frisky.
So she keeps going and sees where they lead her.

"Thank you and goodnight."

Once he is by himself, Cavaliere unpacks his suitcases changes into his work clothes. This comprises a black cowboy hat, a black shirt, black wool trousers with a belt pouch, and leather boots for his hind paws. He also puts on a dark leather jacket with a fur scruff. Additionally, he places his remaining money, some business cards, a flashlight, and a notebook with a pen into the belt pouch. One smaller suitcase is securely locked; after unlocking it he retrieves a derringer and two rounds; the gun is loaded and concealed beneath his waist. He stares at a much larger revolver for a moment but decides against bringing it with him, and instead locks the suitcase and hides it underneath the bed.

Once ready, he takes the elevator to the ground floor. Along the way he chats with the elevator operator, asking his or her name and how many guests might be in the hotel, compared to a normal season.

The colt - he's somewhere between 18 and 21, hard to tell - stands up and tries to walk. As he does so. Kira can notice that he has a limp with his right rear leg.

Kira would presumably decide based on the images on the labels, so...

Well, this one has a musical note. This one has a pony bucking a tree. That one has pictures of grapes. This one has a... Is that like a reptile in the water eating grass like a hippopotamus?

"Heh heh." she blushes, ears down. Then from the side

"Ey Silva! Ya here?"
Looking over to the side, Silver sees two creatures he would not expect to meet here. The yellow pegasus pony, Parade Pass, and Mala, both together.

Unicorn pony. Colt. White in color. Please note that all staff wear similar red uniforms.

"Oh, I'd say somewhere over a hundred. We're lower now, but we've been pretty high most of the last few years. We have ponies who are staying for a while from much further east, or who are working here, or visiting somepony in the merchant marine, or the military."

And he is out.

Mala, who pretty much always stands back now comes up to Silver.

"There's this pony with the Navy who was very insistent on outside help for an urgent task. He asked if there was anypony outside we trusted. So I mentioned you, since you helped with them griffins, he said he wanted you. Went by that house you had, you weren't there. You know your gnoll nearly shot at us. He said you might be here. That or you left, we weren't sure. Glad we found you here."

"Something up in Trottingham. He said he was down here on an acquisition, I asked why he didn't have somepony handle it locally, he said wanted help from here. Not from the military, not from Trottingham, and not from Manehattan. He wanted outside help and he said he needs it urgently. I know he expects a fight, I can tell you that.

I am proficient in light armor and martial weapons, as well as with unarmed combat; it's not my specialty, but more than your average soldier. I have moderate stealth capabilities, and if necessary I can make it appear as though my targets have died from dessication or disease. Through my experience, I have mastered the first meditation of war: my morale is unshakable. I have experience being deployed alongside poisonous gas. I have fortified my body to make myself impervious to minor attacks and I am highly resistant to magic. I have experience in retrieving cadavers from active warzones and toxic mana wastes. I have trained to ignore caltrop wounds and survive stepping on landmines. I am capable of summoning several types of monsters. I specialize in neutralizing griffons and undead, from my experience in Farbrook. Interrogation is another of my specialities, and I pride myself in being able to extract information from deceased subjects.
