"Ugh. No, it's all too real. It means a creature who looks to rile up ignorant mobs with empty rhetoric to exert her own will. Take for instance this last Mayor - Blessedly I'm blanking on the name, though I doubt that will last much longer - that nonsensical pony they let come in after Ash. He had this scheme of regulations and taxes and-"
Amber may have realized that she made a mistake here. Like cracking open a dam.

Amber visibly does not like it when Sewn gets into a tizzy.
"Um, I'm sure I have a lot to learn about politics too, but I'd like to know more about what books you read. It's much more interesting and pleasant."

High Sewn looks over at Amber and scrunches
"Oh sure, let's look to fantasy instead of what directly affects us. Anyways..." She repositions herself.
"Are you looking for specific recommendations? Or just my most recent read? I assume you're not talking about the 1013 New Mareland Army Corp Field Uniform Manual."

She taps her hooves together.
"Um, either? I ain't picky. I don't mind reading anything, even uniform manuals. I'd actually be curious as to how fashion is different for those foreign cultures you mentioned."

"Oh, they have their own traditions. Aquelia has long been a tendsetter. Certainly more so in griffin spheres than here in Equestria, but it would be false to say that looking across the ocean to griffin styles is a recent phenomenon. Aris is newer on the world stage, but their styles are tried and tested. But that's a whole other subject. As for books... I suppose my most recent book has been When the Apricot Blossums Fall, a sort of coming of age and romance set in Somland, at around about the turn of the millennium. Not the best, mind you, but I do recommend it."

Amber could not find it on a map
"There's a bookstore I frequent. The mare there will give me recommendations. That's how I found that one, anyways. There are also reviewers in the magazine who read and recommend books in their monthly reviews."

Kira: "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" The snej slithers and flails along uselessly, unable to get any traction on the icy floor. With a bit of help, Kira's able to be pulled back out of the building with Posey and Silver's help. She thanks both creatures for their help, but pouts and crosses her forelegs as she's unable to come inside to help with the search. Silver is able to come inside, however. If Mala can come inside despite the icy floor, Silver looks over to his fellow fluffy friend.
Silver: "This may be weird question, but...can you tell what kind of creature blood came from through scent or some other manner? I will admit part of me is curious if blood belongs to all of this meat or...something else."

Posey knows what griffon blood smells like. She had it just last week.
"Why would there be a container of griffon blood there? This isn't proper medical storage. It could only logically be for sacramental, or to be fed to some monster..." She appears confused, despite the comforting familiarity of the sight
"Something weird is going on. And something weirder is being planned. Whoever left this here did so for a reason."

Kira, from outside: "They bled a griffon dry!?!?!? Who would do such a thing!?"
Silver: "And more to point, who does it belong to?"
The blood appears coagulated, right? Could it be hiding something under the surface, such as was the case with the barrel of oil and the outhouse?

"I have a hunch that whoever left it here might come back for it. Stay alert."

Clarification:
The blood is not inside of a container. It is in two pools, which is to say, on top of, a wooden box/crate that was later found to contain bags of salt, and on the floor, next to the box, as well as in a smaller trail going to the door.
The amount of blood on the floor and on the crate is not as much as fits in a griffin, nor even necessarily fatal
The blood is coagulated, yes

Ohhhhhh, okay, that clears things up. Well, it's definitely a lot easier to dig through salt to see if it contains anything rather than a container of blood.

If the blood left claw prints, it has since been disturbed by hooves, paws, claws, and especially the giant reptile. The blood looked undisturbed at first save for a claw print, but it's hard to say.
>>180336
Inside the salt is only a piece of the bag evidently ripped off, and a single droplet of blood.

Th fog obscures much that was visible only minutes before. However, from what can be remembered of the first glances, as well as what can be seen through the fog, the boat is approximately 70 feet in length, probably wooden hulled, has a raised and pointed bow with a black hull, a wooden deck (except in areas of the rear deck that seem to be covered in metal), a cabin raised above the deck with a faded white-painted wall, concentrated in the front half of the vessel, a mast after the cabin with a long, metal beam, which implies an intended use as a trawler, and a long, reset deck that takes up half the length of the vessel. The vessel is sunken in the shallow water, with the deck still just above the waterline.

>approximately 70 feet in length,
Alright. This makes for close-quarters combat, but still enough room to charge. Melee characters may have the advantage, if they play their cards right.
Posey makes way towards the pier, walking slowly, so as not to give her position away. She has her polearm drawn.

It's late close to evening, and there's thick fog, so we should have cover to approach, especially with the sand of the beach covering our good steps.
Can we see any lights from the ship as we approach?

Silver follows suit and creeps along the pier, though his heavy flak jacket hampers his movements somewhat and it's only due to his natural dexterity that he is able to maintain an average level of stealth expected of a pony in the fog.

The deck of the boat is wet. The boat has a visible port-side list (the port side of the boat is… well, docked at port. This is the side of the boat closest to the party as they enter from the pier). The deck is more or less clear, with two features notable: a steel grate has been moved to expose an empty stainless steel hold near the stern of the boat. It’s not exactly empty, as it has sea water in it and is mostly filled, but it doesn’t have non-water items in it. Second, a flare gun is next to the port-side gunwale in the middle of the rear deck. The cabin door is partly open. There are no lights on. The beak that extends from the mast is tilting to port, and comes kind of close to touching the pier.

Silver goes to check the flare gun, seeing if it's loaded or not. Kira checks to see if there are any tracks or other signs pointing towards a griffon having been on board in the recent past...well, a griffon besides Cavaliere, at least.

Is there anywhere else aboard the ship that we haven't searched?
Posey walks along the whole ship.
"What happened here..? Were they attacked by something?"

Silver feels like it's probably a good idea to remove the flare from the flare gun before pocketing them both.
Kira: "I'd think it would be sinking a lot more badly if it was attacked. Maybe sabotage? It sounded like the leader of this village was going a bit crazy. Maybe he made sure no one could get off the island? I wouldn't try to start the boat or anything like that, though. Who knows what he might have set up with all of this leaking fuel and oil." Kira looks over the edge of the boat, sad at the amount of oil that swirls around it in the water. "Poor water creatures...I can't imagine how badly this is all poisoning the local marine ecosystem..."

"Sabotaged how though...?" Posey says
"Still no bodies... It seems as though they escaped. Perhaps they flew off, trying their luck flying over the sea, or perhaps they're still somewhere on the island..."

Kira: "Well, it's a boat, right? Poke a few holes here, cause a few leaks there...it's definitely leaking fuel and oil really badly. And who knows what kinds of traps could have been set up before this village was abandoned? Maybe he made it so the boat would explode if anyone tried to leave the dock with it?"

"Evening draws near... We'll need to find our colts soon."
"If Sørvik is truly here, it's likely that he's gone mad, thinking of himself as a king, and this island as his kingdom. It's a deluded, but simple mindset. Perhaps we could use that to our advantage..." Posey
She looks towards the cliff from which Mended Horn gets it's name
"Ideal place for a 'throne', isn't it? You could look down from there and see anything on the island. If Sørvik is still alive, i would bet that's where he's perched." she says
"I have a feeling that if we find Sørvik, we'll find our colts too. Afterall, the 'King' of the island would know of invaders in his kingdom. Perhaps we should meet him there..." She pauses
"Or perhaps, we should draw him out to us... With a declaration that he would see even through the fog."
She looks towards the flare, then towards the spilled oil

Silver follows Posey's gaze towards the flare and the spilled oil. The cogs quickly turn in his mind.
Silver: "Hmm...that is not terrible idea, actually. It is not as if we have what is needed to fix this boat to sail away, anyways. And it could serve secondary purpose of drawing Stalliongraders to this village and away from our ponies."
Kira: "As long as we get far away from this ship, first. I really don't want to be set on fire."

Silver: "That is true...it is not bad idea, though I do have concerns now that I think on it. Even with what I just said, we could possibly attempt to jury rig repairs to refloat it and sail away from island with our ponies on board. Not much effort was put into sinking it if it is still floating. And I do not have good experience when fire is involved in mission...what does rest of us think?"

Cavaliere enters the cabin and looks around, starting at the top. He elects to give up the element of surprise within the boat by yelling belowdecks and listening for a reply. If there aren't survivors, no problem. If there are, there's no time to be lost.
"Sørvik? Bøkli? Nils? Ingerstad? We're here to help you out. Make some noise if you can hear me."
Listen: [1d20+3 = (7+3) = 10]
I really should have distributed my skillpoints better

Can we pick up where we left off with my character, Virgin Flame, or has that ship sailed? It's completely understandable if it has but I'd thought I asked if nothing else. Had a desire to pick it up. ^^
>>180389
Aww, thank you. ^^
Back when I was around, I'm pretty sure your character didn't exist. But that was a while ago, so I assume it's not new either. ^^

I also play Amber but I don't know if you were around when she was. There's only a little bit of recollection for who Virgin Flame was and I don't think she was in the game for very long.

Hehe, she wasn't. Like two sessions or something at most. That you recall at all is pretty impressive I'd say. ^^

Hello! Of course you can come back.
The last post to Virgin Flame was >>151664 →, where she had decided she would go looking for the head of a statue, presumably lost to a river.
Not that you’d have to pick up literally immediately from there, but that is what was happening.

Also, don't put much thought into my character's plot line cause, we all know that I'm not know for stability. We'll try to this and if it fails, know that isn't not you, it's me.
>where she had decided she would go looking for the head of a statue, presumably lost to a river.
Heh, you found that. I know you used ctrl+f but still you'd need to find the right thread. That's pretty big. Impressive.
>Not that you’d have to pick up literally immediately from there, but that is what was happening.
Yeah, but we can pick up from there. I actually remember the story pretty well so far, probably cause very little else happened with that character.
Though, I don't remember if she had some actual leads or what, but I know she's suppose to jump in the river for some reason so let's just do that.
>Virgin makes her way down towards to river.
>When she reaches the river's edge she pulls off he awesome cloak, folds it neatly, and places it down on the "bleach".
>She jumps high into the air as if flung by a trampoline and then she was kinda slow.
>She was suppose to dive down head-first but she lands belly first instead.
>Shucks!
Is that okay?

I remembered that much of the plot line. Also search helps.
>Jumps into the river, belly flopping

The water is cold. At least it isn’t freezing. It has some tint of swamp water, farm, factory, and city run off, and isn’t exactly something you’d want to get in your mouth.

Before I blow it up, can we confirm that this ship isn't in a state that it could be fixed within a single day?
We already have the Swan Boat token to escape with.

It's a 12th CL item, and there have been glaringly few spellcasters in this mileau, let alone ones that can cast third level spells and also reliably hit a DC 23 Dispel check.
A character that could dispel the Swan Boat could sink a nonmagical ship any by other means.
It's still a hazard worth considering, but idk about repairing this boat. We need to get out of here before tomorrow morning, because the cold may kill the Marines, so it's unlikely that we would have time to fix this ship anyway.

Virgin immediately gets a mouthful that she shallows in the chaos of sinking into the cool riverbed.
Ugh. I wonder if this stuff will kill me?
----------------------------------
I can't find her sheet. I think I posted it in that thread so if you seen it, you can link it. You don't need to look for it mind you, I can't even be bothered with that myself. So I'm just gonna take the PhB starting mold for monks and use it for her instead. You might need to correct me, since it's not a matter of if I make a mistake in character creation and more of a question of when.
But anyway, I'll use pic related I don't mean for there to be blue underlining in the screenshot. as my mold, try to apply the "level up" till level 5 and then also use the method of standard array for the ability scores and we'll see where we end up
What numbers should my standard array that I'll use be of? Just as an example, pic 2 have different array's to choose from.
