Please stop constantly antagonizing the specific player in and out of character. It only does harm.

You got me wrong. I'm not trying to antagonize at all. I acknowledged that our characters should have natural disagreements, but I was roleplaying to cooperate in spite of that.

Rosey Ring doesn't want any paladins to get arrested for loyalty to the princesses by the Blackhooves, for the sake reason that she didn't report seeing August Wreath.Telling Tenebrous to keep his oath secret was genuine advice, both in and out of character.
Now that she's hidden her alignment with magic, she can confidently be friendly with him without risking exposure to herself. Perhaps later she might even tell him about August Wreath, who she secretly supports because she wants to squish all of the Changelings before they destroy everything that she herself wants to destroy, and knights of the old guard may be pivotal to that cause because of their motivation to save the princesses.
I like Tenebrous and I am rationalizing ways to be friendly with him, in spite of confliction alignment and background.

If you were right next to Adamance talking to him, the DC for Listen is much lower, so you hear the chainshirt clad unicorn whisper her secret entire message to Tenebrous.
I did not expect you to be able to make that check. Darn. Oh well.
What do you do with this information?

Rosey Ring keeps her callously-beautiful poker face, but with a check like that you can see by the twitch in her eye that she's ever slow slightly ticked-off and alarmed that the griffon saw through her bluff, ever so confident in her skills.
"Studying Equestrian history and politics is quite common in Farbrook: we try to stay in touch with our roots. It's part of my profession too: there's always work for a Necrologist where there's war..."

I think that's enough to know that it's a pony colony in northern griffonia.
They are a harmonist pony culture, surrounded by hostile countries on most sides:

Metsän Vaeltaja: ”I understand quite enough. You must have labor to keep the fire going or else you’ll freeze. You must work the long day in summer to gather the lichen and ferns for the winter or else you’ll starve. Place the blossom at the shrine and light a fire to remember the dead. Cede our ancestral lands to the griffins. We can do better. The seraph can bring light and warmth. He can speak to the dead. He can conjure things unlike what we’ve seen. I know he can. You must not try to stop this.”

I don't think that's necessary. It's not as if Posey would have perfect knowledge about every single city and settlement that ended up on one side of the border or the other. It's entirely reasonable for her to believe it's under Changeling control.

Amber has a manic look to her, not unlike Vaeltaja himself. She stares indistinctly ahead and talks loudly, shrilly, and fast, at a pace a normal pony couldn't think his words through. There's definitely something with that air.

"I did speak to him, and he told me he doesn't understand our concepts of life or death, or winter and summer! How can he do better if he doesn't understand them? You try forging a tool out of a lump of iron without understanding it! Our elders teach us that life, death, cold, warmth, darkness, light, all have value, and we worship the spirits of each of these, so that we may carry on fruitfully through them. The Seraph wants to dominate the spirits, not live alongside them, and it'll throw everything into chaos! He's lying to you and what he'll do will destroy us, either with his own actions or through the 'Inspector' who is on his way now. There will be nothing left of us without the natural order!"

This is the part where Rosey Ring would normally just charm you and make an opposed Cha check to get you to stop prying into her personal matters, but the DM says I can't do that, so...
"I nearly brought him with me . We've been through a lot worse together. I can leave him for one day though. I'm doing this for his sake, afterall...." She turns her head, hiding her expression

Do we have anybody here who can use Message or other communication related magic? That could be very useful if we split up.

(Side note: One idea for a small magic item that isn't as powerful as a numeric bonus could be something that lets us use a cantrip or message spell once a day.)

Kita can cast Animal Messenger. Dusty can cast Helping Hand. They would need time to prepare spells again though.

Vaeltaja does not seem to be out, and tries to rise up. From further behind, a third pony jumps on Pakkasen, who takes the axe out of Vaeltaja's back, and attempts to sling it back.

From beyond the rim of the depression, from the leveled forest, Amber can hear a roar, a loud "Ahreeee" howl or roar. Father hears it too, and looks over towards the source of the sound

"RUN KULTAINEN! Pakkasen! Get out of here!"

Father lets Amber go, and quickly rushes over towards the other stallion.

Father speaks,
"To Tuonela with the sled, get the filly and go!" Father shouts. He seems to have started to get the other stallion free, but is kicked in the face, knocked down, and then starts to run as he flees.

Again, from the dead forest, a very loud "Ahreeee" howl that seems closer than before.

Father:
"Akka, Beaivi, forgive me!"

That howl does not sound like a pony, or really anything she's heard about. She books it in the opposite direction from that sound, trying to make it out of the forest.

"Papa!" she screams up at the sky, tears springing to her eyes.

She doesn't pause for long though, as her survival instincts kick into gear. She puts Jakala onto her back and bounds away, trying to get away from the area.

"AAHHHH" She hears the scream before it is cut off. Looking up she believes she sees shadows moving, perhaps her father, and likely she could see more in if she had her night time vision. But nothing reflects the dim light of the glow and there is no moon. Amber gets the filly, and goes.

Her headache continues, and the world around her becomes oddly disconnected as she feels more and more tired. She can hear the sound of the music again, with its high-pitched glass harmonica sound. Gradually the ground beneath her lightens, until she can see the burnt-out trees and the snow.

Perhaps insulting the interdimensional conquerer of the spirit world was not the right move. But she cannot reflect on it now, as she races across the treacherous, snowy ground. Her exhaustion threatens to collapse her, and she mentally vows to get Jakala to flee if that happens. But she will use every ounce of energy she has to get away from this accursed place.
