Kira succeeds in swimming through the waters, which are calm enough by the plane; even as waves form by the shore. Faith alone keeps the cold waters from sucking the life out of Kira and quickly.
There is a recognizable Ricky beach ringing to the right and especially to the left. The cliff is far from the steepest Silver or Kira have ever seen, but it’s hardly inviting.

>He looks to be somewhere in his early-to-mid twenties
I believed him to be initially in his late 50s or early 60s, and eating the fruit caused him to age 20 years younger. Much ado was made about how old he was and I can't believe he was only in his 40s.
>Silver looks to be a physical specimen, being as tall as a Saddle Arabian horse while still having the build and bulk of a pony.
Sorry for being a nitpicker. Horses are of large size in DnD and we don't know but we can assume that Saddle Arabians are that size. They're almost as large as Princess Celestia who is definitely in that size category. I don't know how big Big Mac is, but that should be the upper limit for pony sizes.

I'm curious about your exact stats. I'll share mine at the end.
>a long, massive snake tail, covered in smooth, metallic golden-yellow scales with a pattern of large red diamonds with black borders running all the way down to the tip of her tail.
Wouldn't that be hard for her to hide with outside of her native environment?
>With both halves combining for anywhere between 18 to 20 feet long, Kira appears to be on the very upper edge of what could reasonably be called "medium", and if somehow she were to grow much longer one could very easily classify her as a "large creature".
She is definitely already large. She's much larger than a python of similar length because it's implied her tail end is thiccer. Plus she could fit only in a pickup truck bed.
>studded leather
Pls no, studded leather is neither a real armor nor effective, and I will die on this hill, no matter what DnD says. There's other types of armor that resemble what you want.

Cavaliere is a male griffon of tall build but wiry stature. His feline half resembles almost a jaguar, with dense but short black fur and a tail that ends in a small tuft, as well as front jet black talons that end in well-groomed claws. His avian head is covered with dusty grey feathers and is topped with a black crest. The wings on his back are also black and blend in with his fur. He has a thin black feathered "mustache" over a weathered beak, and his seasoned appearance implies that he is roughly forty years old. His fluent Ponish without much of an accent may surprise those who have met griffons before. Even for a griffon, his natural expression is carefully schooled and neutral except when he lets it be anything else, and it can be difficult to tell what he is thinking. He is remarkably lithe for his age and the others can only guess at how quick his reflexes really are. Although his physical stature is not too imposing, and even by griffon standards he lacks grace and features most would consider to be attractive, his pale yellow eyes shine with a gleam that is both sharp and understanding. He is lightly equipped; the only "armor" he has on is a black bomber-style leather jacket with a fluffy grey sheepskin liner. Under that he wears a black button-up shirt and black trousers, and filling out his outfit are brown leather boots designed for griffon paws, well-made and embroidered but having seen heavy usage. He additionally wears a black wide-brimmed hat made of felt and upturned at the edges, with the crown rimmed by a leather band and a small silver medallion in the front. On his back is a dark brown leather backpack that is currently well-packed and seems to be a moderate burden for him, as griffons cannot bear loads as easily as their equine counterparts. Around his waist is a heavy-duty black leather belt covered in cartridges loaded into loops, and on one side is an additional pouch that looks packed, while on the other side is a holster for a long-barreled revolver. Cavaliere's companions cannot get a good look at the gun aside from its ebony grip until they near their drop point, when he smoothly draws it, swings open the cylinder and loads it with six rounds from his gun belt. Those with experience with firearms would recognize the model as a "Peacemaker" model revolver with a seven-and-a-half inch barrel. The construction is of black gunmetal and is unadorned, but its precise "click" as the cylinder swings back into position implies that it is of high quality, perhaps even custom-made. With a subtle twirl of the gun around a talon, he re-holsters the gun.

Once out of the plane, Brie clacks open his case, which when swung open reveals a lining of foam and individual cutouts, mostly empty (clearly recesses for equipment) and draws from the case:
2 frag grenades, 1 smoke grenade, a revolver, 2 full reloaders, and what appears to be a brand-new engine oil filter. He divvies up the 50rounds of9mm .380, in hoof-fulls of 12, along his utility belt, before slipping the revolver into a hidden holster in a fold of his suit, the oil filter in a semi elastic pouch along his spine/saddle area, and the grenades secured to where his cutie marks would be (btw, he has no cutie marks, it may have been noticed).

As the plane sits there, Brie can see out to about 300 feet before his eyes meet with a wall of grey. As the pilot stated, the fog is moving, like a set of clouds low to the ground that move in the wind. Sometimes he can see further, sometimes not, but visibility is comparatively high at the moment.

I believe the +/-1s are meant to show that, due to Garv's age, he's at the point where all of his physical attributes are reduced by 1 while his mental attributes are increased by 1
Kira gives Brie a bundle of hemp rope, 50 ft. long, once they arrive on the shore. She tilts her head and flicks her tongue at the strange device he's put in the semi elastic pouch. "What's that for?"

>age
I don't think an exact number was given for how much the fruit reversed his aging, but my understanding from talking with GM pone was that Silver's back somewhere in his 20s.
>size
Silver's still a pony, though, and ponies are still medium sized creatures as far as I understand. Kira might also be quite large in total, but her pony half is still within the reasonable range of pony sizes so I've got her marked as medium. Plus with Kira especially it's far more advantageous for her to be medium sized where she doesn't suffer penalties to Hide or Move Silently, her main advantages as a character.
>tail
Yeah, it's a bit of the point of her design, but still she has such an in-depth understand of being sneaky that she can compensate.
>studded leather

Well, it's either studded leather or leather lamellar armor, either one.

"Excellent!" He exclaims, taking the rope. He takes a moment to wind the rope into a much tighter and more compact coil before securing that coil with a bit of paracord, and placing that likewise in the elastic pouch. Patting the pouch, Brie knows hes running out of volumetric storage, but thay shouldnt be a problem, right?
>whassat 4
"Oh that? Just a minor engine component, in case we need to repair a mechanical situation." He smiles warmly, but something about his response suggests that he is being ironically facetious; what he means by 'mechanical', 'situation', nor how such an engine device (its a rudimentary oil filter) would 'repair' it, well, I'd put that at a dc25 insight check

Kira is neither that insightful nor that knowledgeable on how engines work, and as such takes Brie at his word. What she's a bit more concerned about right now however is the rope. "Um...I'll get that back right after, right?"
>>179569
I suppose it's settled then; the armor Kira is wearing is made out of leather lamellar plates tied together rather than being "studded" leather.

Its what they would have written if they knew history. And yes, studded/metal reinforced lamillar would be better than "regular old" (on the leather scale), but tell me scale mail isnt metal lamillar?

If he's already back in his 20s, then there's not much incentive to find that Tree of Life. Plus, it was a better party dynamic under the assumption that Cavaliere and Silver look the same age.
>size
Total size is what matters. Also getting past inherent penalties is part of the fun. Cavaliere has a low charisma score (in fact I proposed the idea of griffons having a -1 charisma penalty) even though I intend on him acting as a negotiator a lot of the time. I put points into bluff, diplomacy and intimidate despite being inherently weak in those areas.

"Do we have a topographical map? Regardless, I'd like to spend a few minutes surveiling the area," Brie says, clearly not used to appealing to a group he isnt in charge of.

Posey, if you're still lurking,
I'm sure you've seen multiple posts of me bitching at you and assume that this means I have mostly antipathy for you, don't like you, and don't want you here. Well, that isn't true. I do like you playing with us and I am glad you have been here. I like you in the game and I like you on the quest. I know I've repeatedly bitched at you and taken a harsh tone that makes it seem like I just don't like you, and probably you specifically. I'm sorry, I should not do that. I generally try to just go along with things to get along with people, and when a frustration builds to a point, or if something specific sets me off, I snap. And that is what happened. I curse a lot and apparently get rude when annoyed. It doesn't mean I don't like you. I appreciate you even if I don't show it.
I think you've noticed that you're the only player here that I have no prior connection with and don't know outside of the game. That doesn't mean you're not an important part of the game. It does not mean that you are unwanted, and it certainly does not mean that your absence is not noticed.

Whether the tall, grey, obese unicorn stallion who wears a white apron is actually the owner is uncertain, but he certainly seems to have a position of authority over the other pony working there, a brown earth pony colt in a similar apron.

"Coffee or orange juice?"

Dare she drink the black, liquid drug? Does she feel like she's earned a luxury? Is she truly an adult now, doing adult things, like drinking coffee? The stallion comes back with a cup of the black liquid, and offers both milk and sugar.

Amber takes a sip of the black coffee and scrunches at its vile bitterness. They really drink this? She adds a generous amount of milk, tries it again, and adds some sugar before she starts to like it. It's still quite hot though and she spaces out the drink over the course of the meal.
The grits combined with butter and salt are a welcome taste of home. The timothy grass is something she had never tried before and it possesses the subtle texture and notes of flavor only a pony can appreciate. The fruit makes a fine dessert, but Amber hasn't tried a banana before. Her face lights up with joy as she savors the new tropical flavor.

"Oh, you're here."

Earth ponies sewing buttons is one of those things other creatures have to see to believe. Amber looks to see what clothes High Sewn is wearing, if they're different compared to yesterday.
"I hope I'm not late, ma'am. I'm ready for the day," she answers politely.

She's a unicorn!
She is indeed wearing something new. It is rather light looking, or at least light relative to the winter climate. Yellow and blue are its dominate colors, alongside her own green fur coat.
To herself,
"Hardly early, either" Then speaking in earnest to Amber "Alright, you have the register." She stands up, evidently to move to her back room. "I should teach you how to do some of these repairs. Have you ever sewn before?"

"I really should teach you. These repair and accenting jobs don't give us much, but they do provide some income and get customers in the store. In any case, it's a very useful skill to have. To know how to sew and embroider."

High Sewn can see the filly wagging her tail under her dress. "Now's the best time, when it's nice and quiet!" her employee replies with a grin.

D'awww
High Sewn is sitting at the checkout counter, and using a combination of her hooves and magic to try to sew buttons with a thread and needle into a dark green wool jacket. She stands, and moves aside. "Alright, come over here, and let me show you."

Amber sits at the counter over the jacket and looks up at her, waiting for instruction. "What's the best way to avoid getting pricked?" she asks.

"Use magic" She says with a sly smile. After a pause, she says, "There are guards for the hoof, but, if you hold it like so" She moves her hoof and threads through the jacket at a certain angle "It's not necessarily as efficient, but you won't stab your frog."
"Now, like so?" She takes the needle and takes it through the button, pulling up the jacket so that Amber has a better view of what is going on.

Amber scrunches at the magic comment, and secretly wishes she could show who'd win in a test of strength. Still, she pays attention to the instruction.
"May I try?" she asks.

"Yes." She says, and hoofs over the jacket, the thread, and the needle. "Hold it like so" She mimics the hoof positions.

"No no, like so." She uses her magic to touch Amber's hoof, and correct her positioning, then to guide the needle through.
