"If this were a local contract, perhaps not. But this isn't, and I'm not local. It's pretty standard, don't you think? To give something in collateral when you are given something in trust?" He smiles

Posey is wearing that cloak of resistance, right?

"No no, we don't need you destroying the masonry in here, that's alright. But as I said to your unicorn friend, I think it's unlikely you'll encounter any undead where you are going."

Dust simply shrugs at both comments. He's not sure why the stallion thinks he going to destroy the building with a single stone, but Equestrians have turned out to be pretty weird since he got here.
"You seem to haved missed
A member of my list
Shamans like I, try our very best
So our patients don't die, and their needs are addressed."
He then picks up his roll as if he's preparing to leave, surely if these ponies don't need his help, somepony will

"Hmmmm. I suppose I can be amenable in this case. If you'll excuse me for a moment, I'll send my valey. I hope you won't whisper about me while I setp out." He artfully dances his head side to side with the last, as he slips out of the room.
[1d20+9 = (1+9) = 10]
Move silently (trying to not be heard approaching, to "accidentally" scare Miss Skies)

For context:
Brie is presenting himself as the slickest shit in front of ponies who basically have never worked with him before and rolls a fucking 1 on his first display of 'technique'.
I encourage players to headcanon a range of receptions ^_^

>Posey is wearing that cloak of resistance, right?
No. She left it in the dungeon on the skeleton as part of her act to pretend she respects the dead and Glass Horizon's property, and intended to collect it later.
I'm probably going to want it soon, but Posey's saves are already high enough for this level. So long as we don't encounter a beholder or pyroclastic dragon with disintegrate, I'm not too worried.

You're a Cleric, right? What spells do you have prepared? If you left any of your slots open to prepare in 10 minutes, I have some requests.

Kira slithers up to the zebra, frowning with her ears flopping down.
Kira: "You're not leaving us, right? Please stay! I know you're gonna be an amazing help to us, and I only just met you. It's not very often I meet someone in this city who isn't afraid of me..."

Ah, I would have recommended Blessed Aim, Mass Lesser Vigor, Downdraft, Silence, Dark Way, Knights Move, Close Wounds, Ice Slick. No time to re prepare though.
I have Detect Undead.
Are you Exalted? Spontaneous Sanctified spells could be nifty, particularly Path Of The Exalted if you can abstain from casting any divination spells for the component (I have Detect Magic and Detect Undead, so no need to cast them; save those slots for healing or spontaneous sanctified spells). From your prepared spells, I gather that your Domains is Purification, so I thought you might be.
Vision Of Punishment is a good Sanctified spell to cast in a pinch too, so long as you don't cast it before Path Of The Exalted (it's divination).

Not exalted and wrong domain. Earth and War. I'll keep a few of those in mind if I have to prep more spells though.

The zeeb looks deep in thought as he looks at the concerned snej. After a moment of thought, he nods and sets his pack back down, sitting down next to it.

Kira claps her hooves together rapidly, bouncing slightly up and down. She also smiles while closing her eyes. After a couple seconds, she reaches down and gives the zeeb a big hug with her hooves. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

Everyone in the room hears some kind of tripping and falling out in the hallway.

“What?” Shoal Water is concerned and confused.
Another pony - a copper colored earth pony in the hat and green uniform of Customs - placed a hoof on Dust’s shoulders, or at least, reaches out as if he is going to.
“Please” he says. “She may look threatening, but really she’s a delicate little flower. She needs somepony, err, someone, to look after her.”
>>178098
“Okay…” the stallion says.
As Brie goes down the hall, or perhaps, down the stairs, he trips. He catches himself, but he fails to be as sneaky as he likes.
>>178101
Unfortunate

No one is allowed to not be Kira’s friend. When you are marked for friendship by her, that’s it. You’re done for. And Defiant Dust is marked for friendship.

[1d20+12 = (5+12) = 17]
Stealth
Brie strides calmly back into the room, no longer wearing his trenchcoat, instead a si.ple vest, midnight blue with pink pinstripe.
"There we are, my lovely associate will have all the necessary identification shortly. Shall we get down to business then?" He smilingly takes a seat. "Oh thats right, where are my manners, I havent introduced myself yet. The name's Brie Actungsechkzig" (knowlege underground might have heard of him). "A pleasure. Shall we discuss the specifics?"

Aside the >1 its actually cuz I forgot the dex bonus the first time
More backgrounds than the underground may know of Brie. He's an international criminal with ties to the Changeling Mafia/Hive, rumored to be involved in smuggling, arms dealing, counterfeiting, and a host of other felonious practices.
He drew major Baltimare news when he publicly adopted two changeling child ess ayy victims, later taking them to atheir homeland where he received a blessing from Crysalis to raise them as an emissary of sorts to the changelings, in pony land.

The child-lings were major scandals, having been bug-trafficked by a well-entrenched political figure in Baltimare, and both have been non-committally observed in the area recently, again for ponies with history/knowledge/background

Deeper voiced, and more measured
"Captain, let us level with one another. I'm going to assume that you have more or less recently found yourself in command of a modicum of incompetent ponies.
Suddenly, and not for any inactivity or lack of jurisimprudence, YOUR reputation falls into question. You found yourself responsible for their actions, their incompetence.
Obviously not the norm, but if it were we wouldnt be having this delightfully friendly conversation!" [b]He says, tansitioning mid sentence like a bipolar, startingnwith grave and menacing and ending withnplayful and jubilant

The captain sighs.
“No, that’s not the reason. It’s a fair guess, to be sure, but that isn’t the reason.”

"Indulge me then. If you were the one who put my name on your list, you didn't do it with a smile. So to what end? I can't help but assume you've read all the available reports. I hope they do.me justice."

I will work on developing a standardized indicator for when Brie is being pleasant and affable, and menacingly serious. If anyone is interested, his personality is based largely on the character Raymond Reddington, played by (the legendary) James Spader on the series "The Blacklist" (which I will never do true justice to cuz Im neither a world class actor nor do I have professional script writers, but I will do my best)

Is there any other pre-adventure prep?
I don't need to buy any equipment, except for maybe a flamethrower or grenade-arrows for my compound bow. It's optional though.
If anyone else is willing to contribute some gold for reagents, I could summon a Companion Spirit to buff the team.

Disclaimer: I am exceedingly excited to imageboard rp again - it just hits different when people cant fucking interrupt you... sorry - but I will try to apply the necessary discipline to not be a nuisance as a player, it is bad enough a nuisance I am as a character

Since we're using a 3.5e adaption in a modern setting, I will help everyone out with their equipment purchases by posting the d20 Modern Core rulebook purchase DC to gold piece (bits are gold pieces, right?) tables. You can look up the purchase DCs for equipment and pay the appropriate amount of bits for them. Be mindful of WWII tech level.
There's the question of access, but since we're working through a military contractor we could plausibly requisition military access equipment, with some charisma checks.
Idk what the access levels are for most 3.5e magic items are, but there are similar Wealth DCs and access tiers for FX items in d20 Arcana. Rosey Ring is, from her background, certified to use dangerous magic, so magic item purchases can be done through her if necessary.

I fucked up that screenshot... I'll find the direct conversion table somewhere.
I think 1 gp = roughly $20 though.

Oh yeah, I forgot I should probably roleplay this part:
"Oh, it looks like we might need some extra equipment to get this done smoothly. Luckily, I always keep some emergency gold on horn- WHERE'S MY BUCKING COIN PURSE?! I'VE BEEN ROBBED! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
And from that say forward, Rosey Ring swore to always keep her emergency gold in the pocket under her skin.

Respectable and generous offer of time and assistance.
I'm still a little iffy on what the available technological levels, and product availability (in general and specific to OE, I generally assume ~ww2). Thing is, there's a number of things that Brie would like if he were walking through an arms warehouse, but only a few things he would think to ask for in the moment, and while the game affords the option of going over available lists and dcs and what not, the actual asks should still reflect the circumstantial nature of the exchange

It's WWII-ish (Progress Level 4(, so You can probably also find 3.5e magic items that aren't setting exclusive, and/or FX SRD magic items.

Rosey Ring is not a bat: she's a unicorn, but she may sometimes sound like a bat or wolf when she loses her composure.

Yes.
The Equestria at War sneak peak map included a nation called “Hyenia.” So I decided to include hyenas, and call them “gnolls” in reference to the creature in traditional D&D. Unlike D&D gnolls, which are bipedal, much larger than humanoids, always based on Spotted hyenas, and don’t live past thirty, these “gnolls” are quadrupedal “feral” hyenas, are approximately pony sized though perhaps a bit larger, and could probably live past thirty if they don’t die of other reasons first. There are two varieties, “Crocuta” which are spotted hyenas, and “Kaftar” which are striped hyenas.
Equestria at War changed Hyenia to “Qualidi Dervishes,” which are a permutation of diamond dog and ironically closer to D&D gnolls than my interpretation here in their physical appearance, but are “Harmonic,” probably just to be contrarian, as every single African and Western depiction of Spotted Hyenas from tribal legends to The Lion King is negative prior to 2010s revisionism.
Among the characters in the room is a Kaftar gnoll.
