Just gonna throw this out there,...
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.

You should talk.
GM can wiggle his fingers and allow a ritual cast, or a tweaking of prepared spells, just to be able to be done with all the bullshit. Just saying

"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."

All of my thises. This, so very, very very much.

I don't think you understand what a prop plane is.

Hell, if he wanted to get super-efficient and pull a random passersby priest by the name of Convenient Excuse, who could cast the spell on his way back to monastery

"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.

Kira's ears fold around the scritching hoof, and the end of her tail thump thump thumps against the hard floor. She smiles extremely happily.
Silver: "Okay you two, we are burning daylight. Come on, Kira."
Kira: "Okay, Silver!" She pulls away from Free Rover, and waves at him. "I'll see you after, okay?"

>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
>GM can wiggle his fingers and allow a ritual cast, or a tweaking of prepared spells
Why are you asking to bend the limits of spellcasting, just to avoid having to RP more cooperatively?

"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.

As the ponies head outside and towards the truck, a diamond dog in green uniform walks up, dragging a white earth pony wearing a white dress shirt and with a red mane by his ear
"ow ow ow ow ow!" The pony goes
The diamond dog, however, says "Found one"
>>178852
Free Rover gives a wave with his hoof
"And please... Do come back. Whole and intact..."

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?"
>>178855
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-"
Shoal Water:
"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
Brie now is subject to a zone of truth.

He literally fucking asked for it. Begged for it, even.
Shoal Water:
"Are you going to rescue the ponies?"
"Can I trust you to not fuck everyone here over?"
"Can I trust you with explosives? Okay, I know that's pretty broad. Can I trust you not to kill yourself, your party members, my soldiers, and other New Mareland subjects with it, as well as to not come back and try to sell it in Equestria?"
"Can I trust you to actually torch the airship if you can't salvage it for us?"
"Will you try to start a war?"
"Will you try to sell out this operation?"
