The main part of the party in Mended Horn is wrapping up a matter at an Abandoned Whaling/Sealing station... somewhat. Virgin Flame has made her return and is celebrating with exercise and tea after recovering an important marble statue head and vanquishing several amoebas in the process.

I was just waiting for the retcon/ruling in the OOC thread, before we decided how to continue.
Maybe pretend it never happened, and start the session with some lore checks.

Breathes in
Dark Star... Or is he still Solar Night? Wakes up in his tent. The light penetrates through the cloth, and opening the flaps, he sees outside to the now extinguished fire, to the cloud studded sky, and to the oak tree that looms above. If the trees weren't in the way, he knows he'd see the top of the Tall Sails building as well
There's something so relaxing about camping and being in nature. It's lonely, to be sure, and nature can be brutal in its indifference. But that's the charm, really. Nopony, and especially, nocreature, to cause him trouble. No expectations, no disappointment. No troubles of society at all. Just the sound of birds chirping their early morning songs, and the occasional movement of the wind

Dark Star sighs and rubs the back of his head before sitting up. he straightens his jacket and walks outside into the picturesqe landscape and breaths in the fresh air.
He looks around his campsite, a few bottles of apple whiskey lay strewn out near the campfire. then he feels the slight headache from the good time he had drinking. he walks down to the river bank where he has left his fishing pole from the night before.

Can you describe what Dark Star looks like?
His name sounds like Death Knight material. Rosey Ring might be interested in him...

Yea, Dark Star is an Earth pony ranger, He's like Fascist James dean. Red Coat, Short black mane, black leather jacket, sometimes he has his coat dyed for his job with the black hooves.

~Ooh, a Fascist Ranger, with excellent taste in clothing. What are his Favored Enemies?
Does he consider himself a warrior? A huntsman? Does he hold deep feelings of resentment or hatred towards his favored foes? Does he want to exterminate them? Does he wish to grow stronger? Does he fight for a cause? Would he even... die for that cause?

Would he dabble with secret dark, forbidden occult forces and make the ultimate sacrifice to become Darth Stellaris?
>Tell me a bit about your character.
Rosey Ring is a Dread Necromancer, who hails from afar.
She's a beautiful white unicorn, with a long red mane and alluring golden eyes.
She's says she's from Farbrook, but she's secretly a dark mage from the Dread League.
She wants to exterminate the changelings.
>The Vril loves Him

New side quest for Posey's bucket list: Dark Star into a Death Knight by seducing him to the dark side.
>He's encountered the undead before, he would probably be a little trepidatious in going down that road, but maybe, who knows
Posey can be very persuasive :3
Anyways, your character is cool.
Posey's cutie mark is something like a Dark Star: it's a Dark Sun over a white sky. Perhaps they were destined to meet.
This might be ooc thread material, but I think character descriptions and introductions are better here.

Well, I'm back. I was back a while ago but I forgot to write something.

"Hey! Are you asleep?" I shout-whisper into the black thread only lit up slightly by the luminescent swastika on an Aryanne pulshie standing guard besides the cthulhu-esque dreaming form of GM-kun.
My iron grip on my stack of four-hundred A4 pages backstory is so hard that it drains the blood from my knuckles. I'm about to drop it on his face but my hands are stop by his sleep-talk.
"It's- It's Tiara... Not crown. *snore* Reee- *snore* eeee *snore* eee..." GM-kun says in his sleep and follow it up with bunch of lip smacks. Like, you know, that scene in Disney's Robin Hood with the sleeping Prince John lion.
"Oh,-" I blink. "-never mind."
I put my stack on top of another stack of paper on his night table. The night table creaks ominously. I briefly read the brief on the other stack before overlapping it with my own, apparently it's some kind of domestic divorce dispute about money, so now he has two pleasant surprises to wake up to.
I see that he fidgets in his sleep. Clearly his dreaming of a third-party DnD source book lecturing him while using the word, 'hereby'.
I feel for him so I pull out my Luna plushie and place it beside him on his bed. A bit of an ass-pull, hehe, get it?
He sense the pony in his sleep and pulls her close to his chest.
I pet my plushie and say, "You're appreciated autism support soft toy."
Then I tippity toe out of the room. ^^

The few birds continue their chirping, and the trees are mostly leafless, with the dead leaves covering the ground. The air, however, is fresh and cold. He can see his breath coming out of his snout. It has none of the smell of diesel and gasoline fumes back in Baltimare.
Walking towards the stream, Dark Star finds the fishing pole he left leaning against a tree. The pole has fallen down against the tree, but at least it hasn't been stolen in the night by a homeless zebra.
The water in the stream continues its trickle along the rocks Or are you suggesting he's by a larger river like the Delemare or a tributary?
Does he clear his mind, or does he let all of the thoughts of the two nights before, and of the larger world, flood back in?

Okay, for Baltimare crew. In the long term I would like Dark Star, Virgin Flame, and Amber to meet up for a quest. I'm not sure how long that would take, but it's the goal.

"Well..." She pauses, and takes multiple seconds breathing in and out before proceeding "May we be with Celestia. She kind of needs all of the champions she can get."
Heather slowly trots up next to Vir, sits down, and places a hoof on Vir's shoulder. She speaks softly, as if telling a secret.
"When Chrysalis shot back at Celestia, and the crown came off..." She moves her eyes to make eye contact with Vir. "I think that many ponies took that as a sign that she was just a pony. A pony like us. Sometimes I wonder if it made her think that."
She gives Vir a small pet that perhaps is more for her own reassurance than for Vir's
"I think it's okay to not be okay right now. Not a lot of us are."

She bats a hoof dismissively
"Oh, I wouldn't start with When the Apricot Blossums Fall. I enjoyed it, mind you, and you'll probably enjoy it more than I if you're not familiar with the tropes of the genre, but there are better books out there if you are just starting. 'Autumn's Fire" is one of the better pieces. It's a period Piece, set back during Nettle's Rebellion. That one, and 'Adieux, Darling,' which is an older book, but a classic, is where I would start.
As for magazines, well, in this industry, the Manehattan Review is a solid starter, as is the Canterlot line of the same. The latter was recently bought out by Sassy Saddles, and has improved."

That sounds cool though I will play Virgin in character all the time, or try, so she will only join up if it makes sense. But I have nothing against it, since I think I'd enjoy interacting with the other plays ic. ^^

Vir's eyes widen in realization and she nods upon the words, 'that she was just a pony'.
She stares back into those eyes with a sense of reliability and pity. She feels her, in metaphorical way. Then she looks down at her hoof. She absentmindedly scratch the ground with that hoof.
"Before the world turned upside-down, at the Orphanage I grow up at, I had three friends, or well, sisters. We weren't related. Just three orphaned foals growing up at a monastery together," she says and takes her time with each sentence.
Images of being chased by brown filly with pink and red in her mane, teasing her that she couldn't catch her before the filly spread her wings, whereupon, young Vir changed her tone, "You're cheating, Pew." In the foggy background of her memory, there's a pale-green unicorn giggling at the display into her hoof.
"We were happy." -A memory of being pulled into the soft bed of swamp-colored unicorn by a chocolate furred Pegasus. The unicorn is surprise as she was reading her book. Her young self tries to leave only to be pulled back by the pleading voice of Pew. Soon the memory shifts to the day after as Vir is awaken by Celestia's sun, which light reveals her to trapped in bundle of soft limbs.- "We were inseparable. But then-" The blue aura of her friend zaps out, leaving on sooth around her steaming horn. She screams in pain and goes down. She's screaming with tears running down her face. A black hoof, gleaming like latex, constrict Pew's throat and you hear her pained gasp.- "One of them was taken by the changelings."

Amber, in a previous failed knowledge roll, determined that Sassy Saddles was either that wife of the former Foreign Minister that shot a printer and had a famous trial some years ago, or maybe she was that prime minister who rounded up and moved a bunch of diamond dogs from central Equestria quite a few years ago.

She looks up at her before shutting her eyes and moving her head into the petting hoof. Then she moves out again. Her whole face seems to hang.
"Pew," Vir began but stopped as she clenched her teeth. "my friend. My sister. Was so sweet. I didn't... before she was gone."

She sausage at her words as if flinching back when someone gets hurt. She gaze is pitying.
She moves closer. She leans into the other but not too much. I assume Heather is a bit smaller, or rather not as heavy than my character whose a bit warthog, quite dense while still not bulky exactly. She lets her neck rest on Heather's shoulder?.
"You lost someone as well?"

Vir shuffles away just a bit before rolling completely over on her side but not in way that she squash the other mare. ^^ She can feel Heather behind her. She reaches out and grabs her petting hoof. She gives it a little squeeze.
Her dejected gaze wanders about the garden. Does she see anything nice?
"It's not really right that you're comforting me if you too are hurtin´," she says and gives the other mare's hoof a small caress.

i was thinking more of a stream yea, nothing so grand as the delemare
He Enjoys the fresh air in his lungs it had been a long time since the pleasant sensation feeling them with noe of the smells of modernity,
He casts his mind back to the bar a few nights ago and the fallout of what happened

"That wasn't Dark Denizen."

No smells of vomit, zebra shit, who even knows what kind of industrial chemical, none of that. Nope. None of those thoughts...
But the other night...
Dark Star still clearly sees the sight of a Diamond Dog's head exploding, of the drywall on the wall exploding outwards into the hall as bullets pass straight through the wall. Of a pony bleeding out on the ground. Of a highly banded earth pony groveling in fear, and begging for the gnoll to not maul him...
Well, let's see. Blue Skies terrified and running when she hears the sounds of sirens. No. Later. In the bar. Yes, those two mares. How does he feel about them anyways? They were nice, but Dark Star can banish the thought that they wanted something more than simply friendly conversation.
And then that next day. Blue skies laying on the table at Breakfast, looking a bit defeated. And Sea Breeze... being not too pleased with starting a fatal firefight within the city...

He washes his face in the river, replaying the way the diamond dog's head exploded again
"Hmmmm. Wrong place Wrong Time."
He clears the thoughts from his mind as he picks up the fishing pole and casts it hoping the serenity will help him forget things.
"They're probably Angry with me, I Can't help but feel good about cleaning up the city in such a tangible way though."

Little droplets of blood scatter across the... diamond design on the walls? Little red diamonds on a white background as the wallpaper design? Heh. Diamond dog blood on red diamonds. Heh.
Could Sea Breeze actually be angry with him? Dark Star has done him a favor. He'll come around.

She looks down at Vir's hoof over hers. Pony hooves are an odd thing, with their fur, muscles, and bones.
She looks back up to Vir's eyes for the next statement.
"If the hurt can't console the hurt, then who would help us?"

Dark Star pushes the images of her corpse to the back of his mind, he chuckles unsure of why he let it get to him so much in the first place.
"Maybe i should head back soon, its been a couple days, i could use a real shower and some more Whiskey, the black hooves could need my help."

Yeah... probably best to get back.

Alright... time to roll up the tent. Do you need to pick up those bottles of whiskey. Well yes, obviously. Don't be a zeeb. But then he also has to carry the fishing pole... Maybe best just to leave it there.

Vir meets her gaze. She nods.
"Thank you. I truly appreciate it," she says before turning back towards the garden.
Her gaze finds a fluttering butterfly, if that's possible in this climate/place/time-of-year, otherwise she doesn't.
She shallows. She's thirsty but not as thirsty she would have been alone without Heather's calming presence, she notes subconsciously.
"Anyway, my other sister is called Hope's Anchor. She's the reason, I'm here in Baltimare."

>Does she see anything nice?
I forgot about this one. Well, there's a cherry tree. Most of its leaves are off. The most obviously interesting object is a granite or cement statue of Princess Celestia. It's not very big, 18 inches standing up, and it stands on top of a 3 foot tall decorative ionic column. The most impressive thing about it is the wings, which are extended. The very end of the right... No, that's the left wing, it's facing you - the end of the left wing is chipped off, or the third feather is. There's a crack that runs across the chest from the bttom left (vir's left) to the upper right, but it doesn't seem to threaten it. The statue has a nice smile. There's more than this. There's a wheelbarrow with blue paint chipping off of it. Near it is a shovel propped against a wall. By that is a bed next to the wall where mud is being dug up. And besides all of that... Well, there's always details.
>>181121

Honestly... I don't know
Heather blinks. "Are you... Here to meet with her?"
>>181122
Dark Star doesn't want to fish in the harbor? Anyways. He remembers the way to the road. At least he thinks he does. Just go in any direction, you'll find a road eventually. Then just follow the road until you get into Baltimare. Hitchhike if you have to. Or call a taxi, though of course they are only close to, or even within the city.

For the first. At least few miles, only a single car passes, a much older model black car. A pony trots by with a car, but for whatever reason doesn't seem to want to interact. It's when he gets to the main roadway that things change, with more cars and passersby. Houses show up, a lot of a business selling tractors, and a mill. Slowly, he enters into the city.
>>181127
But was the butterfly even there to begin with?
"You don't know where she is?" Heather presses her lips together in a look of concern, and flops her left ear.

Yes, hippogriffs and Kirin in the less decayed portions, but in the older slums, zebras, griffins, donkeys, diamond dogs, and shudders bat ponies. This is besides the pony folk who have fallen into hard times, living on the streets with unkempt manes and empty bottles of beer surrounding them. At least Dark Star doesn’t have to pass through the tenements of the eastern part of the city. He enters the city center. He can go to the Blackhooves headquarters, or if he prefers, go on to the Eastside Tavern.

“Many did. But Celestia did what she did to protect us. And she protects us still. I hope one day, your friend, your… sister, will see that.”

In fairness to the decaying carcass of a city that is Baltimare, animated now mostly by the necromantic force of International Capitalism - the old, decripit, necrotic, and third worldly portions of the city that are non-pony majority are concentrated in the eastern portion of the city. The western portion, which Dark Star walked through, is overwhelmingly pony, and with newer structures as ponies move from the eastern portion, to the western portion of the city. The city center - which is a newer commercial district built around the passenger rail station - has many non-ponies to be sure, but some respectable architecture. Like the Grand Baltimare Hotel, headquaters of the Blackhooves in the Equestrian South East.
Dark Star surely shows his ID and firearms license - I doubt he walked the city streets unarmed - to the guard outside, and then to Filipe at the door.
"Hey Dark Star" The blue minotaur looks down towards the earth pony. "Haven't seen you in a while." He sniffs and tilts his head. "You smell of rotting leaves. Did you... visit the farm?"

"She will," Vir says a bit forefully before blushing sheepishly. "That's why I'm here after all."
Mare, she's parched but she knows she has to give this mare the whole truth before she can ask. A moment passes.
"Your words earlier. About what ponies thought when her crown fell, they were similar to what my sister said too. That Princess Celestia was just a mortal, like us."

"Yes, you could feel a diference after that. Certainly the Fascists never would have dared attempt what they did if it were not for that moment. The Iconoclasts would have, but it emboldened them. But you could see it among the normal ponies... something changed after that. The ponies were... worried. It was easy to explain away. We had new heroines, after all, and that reassured us in the moment. But you could tell that something had cracked in the way we saw Princess Celestia, or well, how we saw ponies in general. And that crack came back, years later."

Okay,
The scene in the boat in the whaling station on Mended Horn will be moved back to the end of combat, with the helmet removed from the red griffin, the white griffin withdrawn from combat in the cockpit, the yellow griffin still standing but afraid, the black griffin laying down on the floor with Brie "in intimate proximity," and all of the player characters reeling from the magical grenade the zebra tossed in.

"Oh, not a whole lot. We had a kid try to toss a bomb at us. That was yesterday's highlight. Of course it didn't detonate, he damaged that when he tossed it. Picking it up was sure fun. It's being examined now, I believe, to see if they can learn who made it." Pausing, and looking into Dark Star's eyes.
"But yeah, I understand."

"Well, it's not really that. I don't think, anyways. It was, well, Celestia is an idea, more than, well, a mare. She needs to be solid, stable, and strong, to be that idea. But, yes, I do understand, and it is frustrating. We needed to stick by our princess, and many did, but, many didn't."

We didn't find out. He ran off long before we were able to stop him. The fact that the bomb didn't even go off meant that not as many guards knew something was off. He was wearing a brown leather trench coat and had a black fedora. We didn't see his mane, and his coat was grey-brown. I would assume he was an anarchist, as they are the most fond of bomb tossing. And if it were an ELF bomb, it would have detonated."

He sighs
"You know what you did, right? You went into a restaurant where customers were being served, and killed six creatures. They were violating the firearms restriction law, to be sure, but you had no probable cause to know that. Six civilians, who were not charged with any crimes, and we are not the criminal police, anyways." He sighs.
"No, not much has come of that. We were able to convince the papers to call it a raid on illegal firearms traffickers. At first we were going to ban them from reporting on it at all. But that was never going to work. It's interesting when ponies die. The news was always going to get out somehow, so let it be on our terms. The Popular Front can't hide the fact that there were firearms there, and firearms are illegal under both the Occupational Authority and local law. Of course the Popular Front thinks that everypony should be armed, but the bottom line is that these were no ordinary civilians.
What you did disturbs a delicate balance - a delicate ecosystem created by the Social Democrats back during the Principality. A number of illegal activities had coalesced under a single organized group. The Social Democrats decided to negotiate with this one group, tolerating it, so long as its crimes remained mostly malum prohibitum rather than malum in se. This one organized criminal group, in tun, by keeping a strict monopoly on gambling, loan sharking, and exotic animal trafficking, likely kept these crimes at a lower level than if the city had to fend for itself. Certainly, the number of murders and kidnappings went down compared to before, and especially compared to Manehattan or Fillydelphia. We haven't had a Hearts and Hooves Day massacre here like happened in Bales, for example. Of course the gang in return gave services to the Unions and the Social Democrats, like disappearing ballots or threatening scabs.
What this means is that the Waterfront Gang had, more or less, abstained from our politics. As you've discovered, this isn't precisely true. At least some of their number have engaged in weapons trafficking, and this is intolerable. What they have not done is wholesale sided with the ELF or Popular Front, as the gangs have in Manehattan. But they only did that after the local government started on their crackdown."
He sighs, and then leans forward
"Dark Star, do you know what our goal is here? What the goal of the Blackhooves of Baltimare is? I want to hear from you first."

If Posey wishes to study it, she must spend a decent amount of time sitting in the corner, doing just that.
The stories are honestly rather conflicting
Some say that there is - or rather, was - an entire civilization of sea creatures who took the form of sharks and other fish.
Some say that there is - or rather, was - an entire civilization of sea ponies whose existence is separate from the later Hippogriffs who, though magic means, would claim the title.
It isn't controversial that at least one of these existed, what is controversial is was it both, or was one confused for the other, and if so, which one? Were they actually in this form, or did they obtain it by magic, the same as the Hippogriffs? And then, the separate question of when it ceased to exist.
The stories of finding sea ponies in nets, of villages being wiped out in the dead of night after some transgression against the sea, or of remote tribal villages having pacts with creatures from the sea, are well known.
These particular kinds of tiaras, and other jewelry, are extraordinarily rare, being found only on accident by dredging, or especially, in the stomachs of dead leviathan whales.
Posey can understand that this particular piece was intended to be the head piece of a religious functionary - a priest, presumably the ritual priest. It has the symbols and signs of whatever culture made it, and the sea creature depicted is probably a fantastical representation of a more well-known creature, like a sea dragon. It is impossible to know how old it is.
It is made of a gold alloy, with either silver or palladium mixed in to a lesser degree, which gives the tiara a slightly white hue. It has many marks in it from something being pressed and rubbed against it - probably squid beaks.
It channels - neigh, it has accumulated - quite a lot of divine magic. Presumably it was designed to channel spirits or otherworldly magic to its user.
Oh, and one more important thing:
Don't put it on
The magic will surely overwhelm the wearer, like a discharge of static electricity.

He adds, to interpret for Silver, "Wat is het laatste dat je je herinnert? Kun je me je naam vertellen?"
GM, concerning Amber, did Dark Denizen visit Amber at High Sewn's shop before the night of the heist? I asked in the OOC thread but you didn't get back to me.

Near any malign energy could send its magic through the crown. Demonic possession, a pissed off god, somepony's errant mind control spell - take your pick.
Of course the crown is designed to channel the divine favor of the favored god, but it appears to have been hijacked in this instance.
Posey can feel that the threat has not ended.

No, it was a different pony. You're thinking of the pink unicorn who came by, stole a shirt, and refused to elaborate.

He shrugs as he explains exactly what was done, then his ears perk up as he says nothing has come of it. nods along as sea breeze talks about the legality of fire arms.
"To maintain order is the goal, is it not? so nothing happens here that will have to be dealt with by the black hooves at a later date, as they have political tensions going on over there."

"Exactly as I understand it. Or have understood it. The purpose of the State Security Administration is to enact the will of the Blackhooves Political Party. In the Baltimare Governate, that has meant one thing specifically - stability. Stability, and providing a steady flow of refined chemicals, dyes, tin, oil, jute, bananas, and sugar to the larger Customs Union. And that is what we have done. After the revolt last year, we were declared "Pacific." Do you understand how great of an acheviement that is? To be pacified? Dark Star, it's incredible.
Do you know what the reward was for this achievement? You know exactly what the reward was. Our money and especially, our ponies, have been and are being siphoned off to elsewhere. Manehattan starts a civil war. And because of it, they have more than twice the number of operatives as before, as if they weren't already the largest branch." He sighs
"I know, it's how it should work. But High Command seems to be more impressed by Revolution than by stability. Or at least, that's who gets the reinforcements."

Posey feels herself go dizzy. She feels as if she is outside of herself, being pulled into the crown. Some one is talking, and it isn't any of the griffins. The sensation ends when the tiara starts to slip away, out of her hooves.

Oh, that explains it. Thank you. I would like to see more of that batpony agent, I had forgotten about her. Should we just retcon that line? Instead let Amber's question be this:
"Why do you think that pink unicorn mare decided to pull up here in that fancy car? You seemed familiar with her and kept mum…".

"It's only valuable to a pony who would be able to handle it. An item so cursed it can't be worn or used is hardly worth anything at all on the market. It might have some value for research though... And it's very pretty."
Is this Mala speaking?

You sense that Posey has ulterior motives, but she's not lying about the crown being dangerous.

Cavaliere scowls with disapproval.
"I don't think either of you can be trusted with it. I shouldn't need to remind you that we are still on a mission and the last thing we need is an ancient artifact driving us mad."
He leans over to Mala and speaks quietly. "Put the tiara in a bag and don't let any creature take it. And for all our sakes, don't put it on. Throw it away if you feel tempted."
He turns back to the other griffon. "En jij kunt dat blijkbaar ook niet. Kijk naar jezelf. Je ziet er erger uit dan een ruiende kerkuil. Je bemanning is bang en gewond. Geef het op."
I thought we established that the red griffon, Sørvik, speaks only his Norwegian-like language while the yellow griffon, Nils, speaks Feathesian and is acting as an interpreter.

"Yes, yes. They even skewered Silver with that harpoon, and they knifed me. They should be glad they got away with their lives." she says
"Besides, they did want a way off the island, didn't they? We could offer them a ride on our Swan Boat, for a price..."

D'awwwwwwww. It'd be hard to say no to that face, but Mala is running into an issue with Silver: his morals. The problem of being the cohort to a good-aligned character.
Silver: "You want to do yourself proud, yes? If not, maybe do me proud? Following ways of Harmony?"

Silver gives Mala a hug. Kira is still a bit disturbed hearing about Mala's past.
Silver: "That is not so much in line with Harmony, either. Let us leave them be. Do not worry, we will find you far better loot later, something far more valuable than some rings and that you can feel good about acquiring."

Posey is a bad influence.

"I think you are aware of the reforms implemented back in Metropolitain New Mareland, and are being implemented now in Manehattan.
A reform of the education system such that the curriculum teaches a love of the family, the village, and the nation. An elimination of anything resembling the teaching of immorality in schools. The promotion of tested, classical literature with morality plays in education. The establishment of a blacklist for educators in the university system, where professors are not outright required to be members of the Blackhooves party. National oversight of Education.
In the arts, the promotion of the already existing "Hay Code" to the level of law for films, and the banning of degenerate art elsewhere. The banning of certain specific new fields of architecture... You'd know it if you saw it. The promotion of local and national holidays with Government funded festivities and restrictions on labor. The promotion of national and local names and flags. National oversight of the arts and culture more generally.
Tax incentives for families, free housing and guaranteed work for pony migrants to Griffonia. Criminal penalties for public intoxication, adultery, and extra marital births. Not severe penalties, mind you, but consequences all the same. Abortion by need of the State, and not the whim of the individual. New taxes on tobacco and alcohol. Severe penalties for the smuggling of drugs and contraband. Very severe - and very public - penalties for corruption of government officials, with a section of the SSA dedicated to anti-corruption. Reinstatement of the Death Penalty. Zero tolerance policy for any kind of organized crime.
Mass deportation of those migrants for whom integration is hopeless, the establishment of pony colonies in specific portions of Scarlet Island, Gryphus, and once we take it, Talouse. The redistribution of lands in certain griffin areas away from Griffin owned corporations, foreign owned churches, and corrupt local nobles, and towards the griffin flock more generally, our settlers, and our nationally owned corporations.
The establishment of a national labor union to represent the interests of workers, an oversight board for corporations, and the requirement of partial ownership of every large corporation by the State.
I think you're familiar with the jewel in the crown of our social programs, Universal National Service. As it is now, it is the requirement of every stallion over the age of 17 and below 45 and every unmarried mare, with some important exceptions, to serve the State as required. Of course it... hasn't worked out perfectly, by any means.."
At this point, Sea breeze tilts his body to show his left side to Dark Star, a reminder that his left foreleg and left hindleg have been completely removed, that much of his fur is missing, showing naked pink skin underneath, and his horn is cracked.
"But uh, for future generations, it will be mostly non-military, for a much shorter term, and with much more leeway to families. A chance to participate in sacrifice for the nation. May their sacrifices be lesser...
And then, there is the crown of New Mareland itself - our great Customs Union. We do not call it an empire, for an empire is simple dominion. This Customs Union is our protection from the whims of international trade and relations, to ensure our factories always have a steady market, and to protect the sacred right that every pony has to work in a respectable, decently paying job. It means we have our own currency and our own, fixed exchange rates, no longer at the whims of foreign banks or foreign ministers and their tariffs. It means that we need not fear the griffin next door, as we have a buffer against foreign invasion, or will, rather, once the struggle with Wingbardy has concluded in our victory. It means that we will assume the mantle of teacher of the non-pony races, to civilize the griffins to the extent that is possible, to teach them a lesson on the value of harmony, and to revitalize the nations of the Evi River Valley which have for so long suffered under the yoke of Imperial rule, and under the enforced ignorance of the old Imperial Church and the Sicameonese corporations.
And most of all, most importantly of all, it means that no Purple Pony Princess overseas will allow us to be flooded with griffin migrants until we are a minority, and strangers on our own soil, until this new majority votes by referendum to join Wingbardy and Aquelia, destroy our nation once and for all, and place us permanently under the griffin claw.
Dark Star, this is our grand vision for this generation. More will come in generations to follow, and much of this great plan has already come here to Baltimare. If we can hold the line abroad and keep things stable here, soon enough, Baltimare will shine as the Metropol does now.

It should be noted that Cavaliere does not speak with any sort of accent that fellow griffons would pick up as coming from "the old country," whether that be the Herzland, Feathesia or Wingbardy. If anything, his accent would resemble the Nova Griffonian way of speaking which bears similarities to how cosmopolitan ponies speak.

It is extremely dangerous to the holder and will have to be given to an institution that can keep it out of the wrong claws. We can decide on the particulars of that later. Let us sweep this ship for anything valuable and then be off."

"I know. I'm just as confused as you are," Vir says before she brings her hoof together before pulling them apart towards the sides in a quick motion. "The things she said didn't make sense to me." She shakes her head and exhales. "She's always been the smarter of the two of us. But... I don't get it.

Brie steps over to Silver and mutters softly, his voice usually bright and chipper is instead low, gravelly so that only Silver could hear (DC 20), with an air of sinister intrnt (not directed at him)
"You and I both know she can't be trusted with the crown. You saw the way she looked at it. She has a tell that Ive detected several times, in her casual dismissals; she's lying, most noticeably to to with that crown. As though she's terrified of even the idea of letting it go.
I'm not familiar with the practice of hiring wizards that can summon vile beasts to run their freighter ships, so one has to assume the crown was in some way related. I would advise throwing it in the lake and forget about it, but who knows what havoc that would be unleashed by our hooves.
Regardless, we can't trust her with it, I don't trust her with it. Not to mention, you saw how badly she was stabbed, and look at her now; not a scratch on her. I'll leave it to you to address - for now - but this entire thing stinks to literal hell it seems, and here I'm dressed for winter."

Concluding his little spiel to Silver, Brie pulls out his revolver, loads it (yes, kek) and then pulls out the oil filter looking thing and carefully screws it to the barrel of his
.38.
He stops midway and looks at anyone glancing at him. "What? I didn't think I was actually going to have to use it," he then looks at Rosey, tips his head in acknowledgement that the gun wasnt even loaded, and then tightens the filter a few more turns.

This is the way we all must prosper."
Lawful neutral, no god just a general reverence for the earth, life, and the natural process of death.

On this point, its meta for me to have Brie do this so soon after. I have had the benefit of sleep and contemplation, whereas Brie has not.

"This is what i want too, time is not on our side though, and with the changelings in the west...The future seems more Uncertain than ever before. I do not wish for our ponies to be under the hooves or claws of any sub-pony filth. We are aligned on this. Sir."

"Well, either way, I hope you can appreciate that we are low on resources, especially ponies. When the war in Griffonia ends, it will all be different. That is one of the reasons we need you. Not to imply that Baltimare wouldn't need you, even if we were not here. Equestria too, needs its heroes.
I hope that now, at least, you understand the mid-term goals we are working for. The fact that we have so little time is exactly why our Governor has assumed the goal to be stability. The more stable things are here, the less of a drain on resources the territory will be, and thus the better we will hold up in the event of a Changeling surprise attack.
But Revolution has a logic all of its own. The Manehattan Governor claims that National Service could be brought to Manehattan, and that very easily an army of 100,000 or more could be raised. Think of that, 100,000 or even 1 million of Equestria's own sons defending their land from the Changelings. But these 1 million will be lead by the seasoned generals who won Griffonia, and they will have a much better chance than before.
Something to think about, to be sure
If it makes you feel any better, you should know that in the wake of what went down in Hoebuck, our sister service, Revenue and Migration, has conducted multiple raids on populations of illegal aliens, and more to the point, illegal aliens that practice that occult.

"Ugh... No, the princesses do care for us. Even now they raise the sun and the moon. Even now, they protect us in our dreams. And even now, they inspire us, and give us hope. I suppose in a way I can understand it, that dark night of the soul... Bless her, may she one day see the light."

I liked Brie's statement because it was basically Brie agreeing with what Cavaliere said just before about the tiara maybe being considered dangerous. It was a nice issue for Mala to use to argue for why the presence of the tiara means he should be allowed to loot more or to get a bigger piece of the share.
But you can do what you think is appropriate.

If it makes you feel any better, you should know that in the wake of what went down in Hoebuck, our sister service, Revenue and Migration, has conducted multiple raids on populations of illegal aliens, and more to the point, illegal aliens that practice that occult. I can't say I am very pleased, because R&M is a rival of ours, but someone getting the glory, at least."

"Ugh... No, the princesses do care for us. Even now they raise the sun and the moon. Even now, they protect us in our dreams. And even now, they inspire us, and give us hope. I suppose in a way I can understand it, that dark night of the soul... Bless her, may she one day see the light."

I liked Brie's statement because it was basically Brie agreeing with what Cavaliere said just before about the tiara maybe being considered dangerous. It was a nice issue for Mala to use to argue for why the presence of the tiara means he should be allowed to loot more or to get a bigger piece of the share.
But you can do what you think is appropriate.
>>181357
Well, the questions to be resolved that might lead to Brie having a better idea are:
1. Is the captain a spellcaster
2. How did the crown get on his head
3. A more detailed account - perhaps impossible due to the clumsiness of direct translation - from the captain specifically, about his experience (>inb4 amnesia)
4. Money prease

He takes a moment to think, looking off in the distance. Then he answers,
"Ja.
Waarschijnlijk het oude verlaten ponydorp. Het zijn er eigenlijk twee. De oudere ligt in het midden, maar de meer ontwikkelde ligt aan de zuidelijke baai. Misschien de vuurtoren op de noordpunt."

"This is not a shipping company and everything indicates these griffons work independently."
Nevertheless, he asks Sørvik, "Wordt dit schip gecharterd of zijn jullie freelancers? En heb je die vervloekte tiara zelf opgezet of heeft iemand anders hem op je gezet?"
Additionally, he says, "U en uw bemanning moeten snel alle persoonlijke bezittingen die u op dit schip en de huizen hebt achtergelaten, ophalen. Laat mijn kameraden alsjeblieft meegaan om iets nuttigs te vinden, maar houd ze in de gaten, want ze zijn niet te vertrouwen in de buurt van waardevolle spullen. Zodra je klaar bent, kunnen we een schuilplaats voor je vinden waar je kunt schuilen totdat we de pony's vinden."

"Een Stalliongrad-schip met ongeveer tachtig pony's aan boord, waaronder matrozen en mariniers, is op dit eiland geland of gecrasht. Het is onmogelijk voor u om dit schip te repareren en het water uit het ruim te pompen voordat ze u vinden. Ze beschouwen dit eiland als het hunne. U moet uw verliezen nemen en vluchten."

I gave ten in-game minutes for a reason. Technically speaking Cavaliere has no authority to issue orders like that, but it's a good compromise between giving the griffons a chance to pick up what they need/letting the party loot the ship and getting on with the mission already.
He interrupts the griffons' bickering. "Sørvik, ben jij een soort geestelijke? Terwijl je onder invloed van de tiara bent, heb je een spreuk uitgesproken. Weet je nog iets van dat?"

Mala explains to Brie,
"They won't leave anything small and of value behind if they think they won't have a chance to come back. If they think they will come back they will hide it. But if they think they will not, they will try to take it with them.
We could have done this from the beginning, they would have found all of the hidden things for us. They may still get more valuables in their houses."

They cannot carry everything they want, but what they do choose to carry is to be left on their persons. What they must leave you're free to take, because better us than the communists.

"The lighthouse and the old village are at roughly the same distance from us. I recommend going to the lighthouse first, as knowing the coastline will give us an advantage and might let us spot the enemy freighter."
Should we wait for the other party members to be present before proceeding with scavenging items and discussing the next course of action? I don't know who's online now but everyone should get a shot at it.

We should probably go to the lighthouse first because it's on higher ground, that way we will be able to see smoke/fire that the Marines built to keep warm if they're in the town.
The lighthouse probably has provisions and comm equipment in it, and the Marines would know that. They would be predisposed to go to an official building for refuge, and as Marines their standard protocol would be to make camp on the highest possible ground when in contested territory.

I have a suspicion that you want Sea Breeze to directly give Dark Star a quest or objective. Is that correct? And if so, which one(s)? Do you want him to get right to it, or what do you want him to do?
>>181578
Heather holds onto Vir's foreleg and helps her up.
"Come along."
She opens the door, and takes Vir in. She takes Vir down the small hall that twists around the end of the church, until she comes to a door that she opens into a small kitchen, with a wooden floor, and prominent wooden table. Flowercup is already here and evidently has already started the task of boiling the water, which begins shortly thereafter. She takes a tea bag and places one in a small, porcelain cup, and begins pouring the tea.
"You can sit" Heather says, and helps Vir to the table. She picks up a small porcelain container with a tea spoon in it. Flowercup comes by and places the tea cup with the tea and tea bag in it in front of Vir.
"Would you like any sugar?" Heather asks
He nods
"Any time."

"I can take a cube, or two... Let's make it three actually," Vir says and licks her lips.
Is there a reaction form the other two ponies in the room at this hilarious line of dialogue? ^^
Vir looks at Flowercup and hums to herself.
"I realized that despite having spent the night here, I haven't learnt you guys'es names. You-" She points to Heather. "-are called Heee...Heather. And you-" She points at Flowercup. "-are..." She rolls circles in the air with her hoof. "Don't tell me."

She sees nothing more than mare with her pants down... At first. But then it's almost like world drifts off as Virgin takes her full attention. She reverts back into a scrawny filly but with abnormally large fetlocks for her age. A smile like that you could find one friendly and panting dog adore her face. Her excited but dumb gaze fall down onto the table.
On it, a glass vase has appeared with single red rose. Filly Virgin Flame is delighted to see it and take sniff of it and melts to the loveliness of the aroma.
Suddenly, and out of nowhere, the stem breaks and the rose dangles of it by a green thread.
Virgin's mouth forms an 'O' and she carefully but quickly grabs the rose. She tries to put it back like it was but the rose's stem won't be mended no matter how many times she tries to places it back on top.
Tears run down her pale face as she gives up... For now.

Technically the modern village is a little further than the lighthouse or old village
The flying things are nearer the old village.
The lighthouse is on a kind of promontory north of the whaling station, and to the side of the north bay. To get there, go the direction towards the small whale bones and beyond, either going slightly inland and going up the hill, or stay on the beach and hug the coast.
The old village is on a hill kind of near the center of the island, inland and between the northern and southern bays. To get there, go in land from the whaling station, basically just going the opposite direction of the boat.
I was really hoping that map would be ready by now...

Vir blinks at the as she noticed Flowercup's change in expression but doesn't know what to make of it.
She blew on the tea causing tiny ripples. If there's sugar nearby, then she helps herself to some. She then takes the cup, which probably is quite warm between her hooves. Vir's fat fetlocks keeps her from not dropping it. She takes a sip. She smacks as she roll the flavor over tongue.
"This is some bombass tea, Flowercup."
Booze!
"Tasty, what's in it?" she says.

The metal is a manganese-nickel-iron alloy that is strangely high in impurities, bearing closer resemblance to a naturally occurring metal than anything smelted. He's seen this before
The helmet is something like a peytral, or at least, vaguely resembles one, with overlapping pieces of metal on the back that hang down and can move. It isn't very long, though that may be due to the lower sections being missing. The top is rounded, but with two triangular protrusions that sweep back, each on the opposing side and vaguely imitating triangular ears. These are somewhat sturdy, and it is unclear if they are simply decorative or for practical effect. Across the top and going down the back, there is a wide strip of what is presumably gold leaf covering it.
In many places, the metal is visibly pitted or corroded, and seems to have signs of an active attempt to remove corrosion.

Goodies! Cavaliere stows these items away, putting the map away in his map case That is, if OOC it's not ready. If it's ready he will have a look at it and the compass and telescope in his backpack. He still is bearing a medium load, though the extra pounds are irksome.
I assume that the telescope is similar to the spyglass from the handbook, though it might have more magnification. There's no description of any compass. Would it grant a survival check bonus?

Intelligence:
The silicate content (the worst possible impurity) is low, so it's probably not made from slag. At the same time it's greatly higher than Silver would ever make, or honestly any proper smelter would make, so if it is the product of smelting, it is quite primitive.
The oxide content is higher than Silver would expect out of metal of extra-terrestrial origin, and the alloy isn't quite right for it either. The nickel content is vastly higher than most natural ores Silver is familiar with, yet just a little lower than metal from the sky. There is also no obvious evidence of platinum group metals, for instance, but there is a very noticeable quantity of especially Manganese present, higher than would be expected from extraterrestrial origins or any primitive alloy.
Because of the presence of the impurities, the metal probably does not quite equal steel. Yet the alloyed metals definitely improve the quality from what it would otherwise be.
However, Silver can identify it as being similar to the spearheads found earlier.

The map is a map of the Rocky Sea area from the Village up North to Ravenskoye to Ny Winghaven. Mended Horn appears small on the map. However, it is a faithful and detailed enough outline of the island and the Nova Griffonian coast to have at least some use for navigating Mended Horn.

Now that he's getting a closer look at the equipment, Silver grows even more perplexed. Clearly, this was made by someone who knew at least a little about smithing, as evidenced by the clearly intentionally decorative touches added to the helmet. But this alloy is odd. Again, whoever made it knew what they were doing as clearly they put in a lot of work to make this metal serviceable, but it looks a bit like it's made out of metal scraps, and probably bad metal scraps at that with as many oxides are present. But that only brings up more questions, such as why was this made in the first place if it was made out of scraps? The spearheads made sense, the griffons here needed spearheads and had little in the way of proper metal to make them with, they're practical. What could be the practicality of such a helmet as this, and why was Curwhinny so interested in it as to have it in his lair?
Perhaps getting some insight from Posey on its potential magical capabilities may answer some of these questions, and Silver has to remember to go to the university to get it properly examined once they return.

But that only brings up more questions, such as why was this made in the first place if it was made out of scraps? The spearheads made sense, the griffons here needed spearheads and had little in the way of proper metal to make them with, they're practical. What could be the practicality of such a helmet as this, and why was Curwhinny so interested in it as to have it in his lair?
Perhaps getting some insight from Posey on its potential magical capabilities may answer some of these questions, and Silver has to remember to go to the university to get it properly examined once they return.

"Um, tea?"
Heather:
"Flowercup, explain what kind of tea it is,"
Flowercup fumbles around and finds the tea container
"Uh, green tea? From... Um..." She looks closely at the container

She struggles to pronounce it
Heather:
"It's an older container we have from overseas. I thought I'd bring it out for you."

She scratches the back of her neck. "I don't really know anything about tea myself. Never drink it, to be honest. It sure was tasty, but you didn't have to."

Dust arrives just as Brie is getting frustrated, pulling off his mask so that the sweat of exertion stops soaking into it. The strange camoflage paint he uses forms a porous layer thats oil based and really hard to get off once it dries. But at least his mascara never runs.

Brie can't tell if he's not talking cause he's a quiet fellow, the ear thing, or some secret third thing. As for permission to heal, since one party member doesn't believe in healing spells....

"For that I am glad to here

"My good,..." he recalls the slight facial tick at 'Zebro', "Stallion, I can't thank you,... us Bats, we have such sensitive ears. Even with proper earplugs and ballistic sound suppression, I really prefer not to even use firearms if I can help it. I would opt for concussion grenades but for the same reason. It's a pity too, because the Master still won't teach me the secret of how to fight while blinded yet." He begins this little spiel going back to work on the safe, hoping that with the ringing gone the dice gods will remove the context-nerf that was cursing his skill checks.

In a corner of the boat somewhere, with nopony else around:
>>181799
As Posey finds her skull alone in some corner, it momentarily starts glowing, twin beams firing from its eyes as it animates with a sickening cackle, levitating in mid air.
For the first time in this game, Posey looks genuinely afraid.
"M-master, I...!"
The skull roars
"MAKING FRIENDS WE SEE! ART THOU HAVING FUN?!"
"M-m-master! I can can explai-"
"WHAT HAVE THOU CONQUERED, ROSEY RING?!"
"Master, it has been a week! Wars take ti-"
ENOUGH EXCUSES!!! MUCH WAS INVESTED IN THEE, RING! THE MAGIC ETCHED INTO THY FORTIFIED BONES IS NOT THYS, IT IS OURS!!!"
Posey collapses to the ground as the runes in her bones surge with power, cursed sigils writhing beneath her skin as she convulses like Reagan in the exorcist
She shrieks
"IT SEEMS AS THOU ARE UNWORTHY OF BEING OUR CREATION!!!"
"P-PLEASE HAVE MERCY!"
"MERCY?! MEEEEERCY?! DID WE TEACH THEE MERCY? LIKE THAT PALADIN THEE LET ESCAPE?!"
"I'M SORR-"
"AND WHERE ARE OUR TITHES!"
"Th.. The.. They are in the mail... I swear..!"
"WE DID NOT SEND THEE TO EQUESTRIA TO HAVE FUN, RING!"
"I... I can do bett-"
"UNWORTHY OF THE GIFTS WE HAVE GIVEN THEE! IT IS TIME THAT THY LEARNED TO EARN THY OWN POWER!"
(Posey is just sobbing at this point)
"THE GIFTS WE HAVE GIVEN THEE ARE HEREBY FORFEIT! DO NOT DISAPPOINT US AGAIN, MISS RING!"
And so, Posey is left in a groaning, smouldering heap, smoke rising off of the sores where her spellstitched runes burned themselves away. She takes several minutes to nurse her wounds before rejoining the party.

The shell is rather large, white in color, and has a number of concentric rings. There are pink stripes along the surface. It has something of a geometric pattern to the angles in the circles, which are not smooth save on the outer most layer, but have ridges that are more like a number of straight lines that turn, like a polygon rather than a circle.

Brie opens the safe to find that it is two levels. The top portion is empty. It’s possible that no one stored anything here, but somehow this seems less likely than any valuables being taken out.
In a lower, larger portion of the safe, Brie finds a single object.
It’s a harpoon head that is oddly wide, and oddly girthy.

I got Detect Magic 1/day, although I'd rather save that for when it's necessary.

In the cockpit, beyond the helm and below the windshield, Kira sees it.
Standing there in all of its glory, Kira sees a figurine 5 inches tall and made of probably some sort of plastic or wood of a female hippogriff, light green in color, wearing a skirt of dried brown leaves, and holding a mandolin or some other kind of stringed instrument in its right claw. She wears a ringed crown of flowers on her head, and a necklace of seashells. She smiles right at Kira.

Kira: "Oooooooooo!" Kira takes this pretty figurine. She admires how the beautiful hippogriff looks, with her cute skirt and adorable flower crown and shell necklace, before she goes around to the nearby creatures and shows it off excitedly to them. "Look at this! Isn't she super pretty?"

Reee, thats unrelated and u know it. Kira wasnt around, Brie was already fixated on the safe. And even if for some reason not, sorry not sorry, Kira hasnt impressed Brie (except cuteness) so far, including the super almost best grappling. Cuz has head in a safe. Xp

She nods invitingly.
>It clears the mind, and can calm you down.
"Really," Vir says and looks down at the dark-brown, almost resin colored liquid in her cup. Then she proceed to take a careful mouthful of it.
It sends down a shiver down her spine, like somepony drew a cartoonish bolt of lightning over her frame. A content sighs escapes her lips as the cup leaves them. Her eyes are closed as her body is occupied with relishing the tea that spread out from her core and gives gentle caresses over her body.

Yep, that's treasure. Looks like a treasure statue with permanent animate objects cast on it. If so, it could be worth 15,660 gp, before considering the craftsmanship .

Much of the secret/technique to the Funny traditionally named bat style Briebhas an apprenticeship in is that most of its stealth kills dont involve stabbing, so much as they involve pressing the tip of a blade and then constricting. Technically speaking, a proficient grappler could intuit the technique by observation and a bit of instruction/practice

In a technical/rules sense, its just improved grapple with uncanny dodge (uncanny dodge retains dex bonus when otherwise losing it, except for immobilization) and sneak attack while grappled, but I like when PCs can teach PCs

Nice.
What's there color scheme?
Vir finishes the cup with swig and smacks her lips with loud smacks. The smacks that real horses make when they chew on a carrot with their thick lips that sound more like vacuums being popped on repeat.
"K-can I, have some more?" she asks like a filly asking for an extra slice of cake during a party.

Uh... I'd have the look that up. I want to say white for Flowercup and kind of an eggnog yellow-brown for Heather, but that's probably completely wrong.
"Oh... Okay..." Heather says, looking at the adorable large mare. "Flower cup, pour her some more."
Flowercup comes by, very awkwardly holding the handle of the teapot with her mouth, and then slowly pouring the tea in Vir's cup... maybe overflowing a little bit... and then it gets on the table. And then Heather tells Flowercup "Clean that up!" and Flowercup has to go back, get a rag, and then come bag and clean it up. And then when Vir tries to pick it up to sip it, a little more spills.
Anyways, Heather offers to provide sugar. One, two, three cubes... and the cubes cause it to overflow again. Damn it Flowercup.

>cause it to overflow again. Damn it Flowercup.
^^
A teeth revealing grin forces its way onto Vir's features. Deep laughter erupts from her. Vir then reaches out with her, now somewhat coated in tea hoof, to Flowercup and just places it on her head just behind the ears. She gently rubs her hoof into her mane.
Her hoof feels like living stone with a pulse running through it. Her frog kinda reminds Flowercup of a pillowcase but if your stuck as many pillows in it as you possibly could.
Does she realize how hopeless it would be to try to escape this mare if she grabbed her?
"Not worry over me," Vir says, smile, and closes her eyes like this: '^^'

So assuming nothing happened while wrapping the seeming polearm broadpoint Brie pulled from the safe, he would be concluded on any fixative agenda.

He fondles the keys he never figured out what goes to. "A keepsake, perhaps?" Unable to imagine a scenario where he leaves the keys for the commies, Brie pockets the keys. He then turns to the knife. Acceptable, he supposes. The style and shape of the blade certainly arent his preference, more Rambo and less early-Doctor Strange. He doesnt have any sheathes for it. Best to put it from his mind he thinks, as the knife falls from his hooves with a clattering sound, belying it's false tang and welded fittings (ugh).

Okay, Baltimare crew: Dark Star, Virgin Flame, Ambersubset.
I want to at some point make your characters meet up. Or at least, two of you. I have a few quest ideas. One is participating in an immigration raid on gnolls, zebra voodoo practitioners. Another is encountering possible spoop in the Baltimare underground, an abandoned hospital, or out in the woods. I can do individual quests if this is what is desired. Please give input on what you want to do.

Same for Virgin.

>I want to at some point make your characters meet up.

>Please give input on what you want to do.
Okay, here's everything.
In general, I find making my own quests or take my own initiatives to be quite easy for me with Virgin. Just RP-ing with Heather and Flowercup, you can rest assured is enjoyable to me. In fact, I kinda want to explore those characters deeper and I think Virgin will settle at the Church, at least for now, as her temporary home, if Heather allows her to stay.
Virgin is in fact on her way to Blackhooves HQ right now. She is going there because she thinks that if anyone would know about Hope's whereabouts, it would be them. Also, it's completely up to you what happened with Hope's and her history with the Blackhooves. Hope's doesn't even need to have step a hoof in Baltimare. I decided that she simply disappeared the next day after an argument they had or something Only if that is okay with you. and now, Virgin is in Baltimare just because she gotta start somewhere and that she'd heard that Baltimare is a nest for the Blackhooves or something in the passing.
I did notice that Dark Star was at HQ so the though of getting there faster did enter my mind but I decided against it. I want things to happened diegetically, as you said in the other thread, and so I decided I was gonna engage with Heather and Flowercup before moving on to HQ and if Dark Star was still there then it was fate.
When it comes to meeting the others, my thoughts are: Let's take Dark Star for example. I think, if I'm not mistaken, he was your very first pc of the entire game. His legacy grants him meta prestige, whic he has earn but makes it awkward to interact with him. I, in general, don't wanna step on any othe pc's toes or steal their thunder. However, while important to the game's history, his character doesn't matter to me. I care, first and foremost, about my own.
There is otherwise a interesting dynamic between the two of them, since Dark Star is with the Blackhooves and Vir, blames them for, well, most things, while I think they share values and would agree on a lot of other things.
I'm just being open with my thoughts here. I do want to try it out though and I think I might just worry too much. I'll just try to keep Virgin in character and treat the others like any other pony.
When it comes to Amber, I know even less who she is. I think she's a socialite of somekind.
But as I stated in the beginning of this essay, I would like to join up with the other pcs.

Im on hand, just working on Lacey's backstory. Chatgpt is the shit.
And like magic, Brie's and Lacey's backstory makes sense, to the degree of detail so far established, perfectly aligned with EaW lore and established story.
Did you know the technical term for bat pony is "Thestral"? (you probably did)
Or that Thestral society is in Everfree Forest, presided over by the Night Court? Its a political/financial aristocracy of factions and families that rule over their society. There are plenty of factions in the night court, as well as breakaway factions, among which is the Shadow Syndicate. It's the criminal underbelly of the Night Court.
Also, because 'Mayan' doesnt appear on google translate, the "official" dialect proxy for Thestral is Maori ^,_,^

>Posey's handy floating magic disk has disappeared
No. Spells last for their full duration, regardless of changes in the caster. Floating Disk can't even be dismissed by the caster.

I don't mean to poke holes in this floating disk thing or give cause for it to disappear, but how does it work exactly? Does it just follow behind wherever the caster is looking? Behind the caster's body? If that's the case, what happens when the caster goes somewhere the disk can't follow because of size constraints or objects in the way? Does it stay where it is? Does it damage the surroundings until it can force its way back to the caster? Does it clang glitchily into the surroundings making Source engine noises until the forces being applied to it are so great it clips through the physical objects between it and the caster? What happens to what's on it in that case? If the disk knows to pathfind around solid objects between it and the caster, is it intelligent? How can it tell what's there that needs to be pathfound around? And if it's controlled by the caster's mind, can it still be controlled even when you've lost access to casting the spell? And if the caster can't dismiss the floating disk, can the caster make multiple copies all at once? Does the world end up being littered with discarded floating disks from all of the creatures who can cast the spell?
I know it sounds like I'm being stupid, but I'm genuinely curious about all of this.

It is a magical co juration of a duration based on caster level. It maintains a proximity also determined by cl, and I think Roseys is 35'. Its a tray that is controlled by the mind

It dematerializes after the duration expires, if thats ur question

“Hovering” means something very specific and your character can’t do it. Fly in circles.

By doggy-paddle fly, I mean a pattern that involves swooping up to the left, and then dropping, then the right then dropping, not actually hovering, but "maintaining a general elevation"

We should bring the griffons along for as long as it's practical. If they need to shelter in place we should find a more hidden location.

We’re early enough in the quest such that all encounters are story related, but things can be shuffled.
I was going to say one survival roll for the whole party. Posey can roll with her pitiful modifier and mediocre luck, or you can wait for Kira, who is better at the skill and far luckier. It appears the choice was made already
>>182090
They lean towards trying to repair the ship to leave, if that is possible.

Not only is time critical on this mission and having to backtrack delays our exfiltration, but Stalliongrad is probably sending out more scouts along the shore and the boat is far too visible. By the time we get back they could all be dead. We also told the griffons that they had to leave now and that we would protect them. Should we go back on our word?

Okay, so I went back and reread the descriptions of these ponies, and I was pretty close to accurate. Flowercup is a filly (age is unsure) with a white (slightly grey or off-white) coat and wearing a white cloak with a reddish-black mane tied into a bun. Heather is a beige mare with an orange coat and a black cloak.
Flowercup
"No?"
Heather laughs
"No, I am an assistant here. She is a trainee. We are not related."

We've got a task to complete, and the possibility of running into the enemy troops and ending up in a firefight is pretty high. I'm not sure they'd want to be in tow for that, and they likely know the ship and how to fix it a lot better than we do. As long as they stay hidden, they should be fine. The Stalliongraders are more interested in that airship than they are in a nearly abandoned whaling station.

Silver: "What in world..."
Was the radio on this whole time? Silver (after taking note of what frequency it was on so they can call the plane if need be) fiddles with the frequency to see if he can clear up the static.

The good news is the Griffons ARE armed, and the Captain could possibly be useful in a pinch and otherwise relied on to lead his 'men'. They also could be said to have been tasked with carrying the telescope (if they werent expressly, I dont translate the languages I dont know in character), which may be useful especially at the lighthouse.
"~I am just vulnerable Sorceress with a feeble grapple mod. If a Remorhaz burst out of the ground to swallow me whole, I have no idea what I would do. My hit points are so low that it would burn me to cinders instantly. I would NOT want that..."
Brie is so glad he and Kira are on point. No offense.
Btw, does the fog give partial concealment at his elevation, therefore allowing him to be hidden?
Hes still focused on spot tho, so prolly not.
"All this out-in-the-open nonsense," he laments.
Srsly though, it would be nice to ACTUALLY kill something :3

I/Brie thought - since he found it in a safe - that the weird harpoon head might be related to these weird habbenings. Apologies, it seems mundane. Maybe a mechanism, but clearly not spoopy now we have it in decrnt lghting.

Glistening Glass is putting up bottles behind the counter. He looks back.
"Dark Star!" Hey hey! How is it going? Things aren't too bad myself." He turns around.

“Dat is een explosieve harpoenkop. Je duwt hem in het lichaam van een walvis en hij zal ontploffen en hem doden. Hebben we dat nodig? Ik heb alles meegenomen, maar dat heb ik laten liggen.”
Cavaliere can see a time-delay detonator on the object.

>Posey evidently intends this roll as an exhaustive inquiry into the intersection of radios and spoop.
Fine, we'll do it your way.
Incorporeal undead tend to be composed of various forms of magic, whereas radios work by picking up specific waves of the electromagnetic force. And yet, sometimes the former affects the latter. Just as a banshee can call out in the twilight, so too can ghosts, wraiths and what have you speak over radios to communicate - or at least, that is what is reported. Undead don't sound like the living - not quite - and Posey could surely pick up on the subtle differences.
Some permutations of ghosts - or more accurately, of lingering phasmic energy - simply replay scenes of the past that have stained themselves upon the material plane. Reports of radios playing broadcasts and communications of years before are not unknown, and in one famous episode a title card of a horseton television station - defunct three years prior - randomly appeared in a television broadcast in Trottingham. Perhaps the radiowaves bounce around indefinitely in the ionosphere or the lower spheres, to be reverberate back at some time in the future. In these instances, it may be hard for Posey to tell what is a real pony voice and what is undead - when, after all, the broadcast is nothing more than an echo. And of course, if some malevolent force tried to use the radio to deceive ponies... Well... that's another matter.
It's hardly out of the question that a radio could pick up ambient physic or phasmic energies in the air, given off by the presence of incorporeal. In just the same way as the static sound of a radio may be from the buildup of static electricity in the air, in prelude to a lightning strike, so too may the radio detect the presence of a nearby specter or wraith. Of course, it wouldn't sound like a pony's voice. It would just sound like static.

What follows cannot be heard and understood by any one pony alone, for no
pony is able to discern every detail in its totality. It is only when they compare notes that the following is pieced together:
Static sounds. While the static has gone down significantly since Silver changed the frequency, it is ineliminable
A stallion speaks with a slightly reassuring, if unconfident tone
Оставайтесь на месте, товарищ. Оставайтесь на месте и мы приедем к вам. - Stay put comrade. Remain in place and we will come to you.
There's a sound almost like an object dragged against the ground, though it may be the caw of some unknown animal. There is one, then two rifle cracks.
Second Stallion:
Некоторые из «Нежелательных» зацепили нас. Мы потеряли Парселия. - Several of the Unwanted ("Nezhelatelnykh") have us pinned down. We have lost Parsely.
There is a very unhealthy sounding cough, and a "tak tak tak" like the call of an insect.
А еще на нас подходит Петрушка из Light Water. And there are Light Water's Petrushka coming up on us as well.
Rifle crack.
There is a sound like something scratching against stone, twice.
There is a third stallion's voice. Judging from the signal quality and circumstances, it appears to be from the same receiver as the first stallion:
Я только что подслушал защищенную передачу... Солдаты прибыли и идут нам на помощь... Подождите еще немного. Даже если у меня есть сомнения, что мы проживем достаточно долго, чтобы встретить их, держитесь - I just overheard a secure transmission...soldiers have arrived and they’re coming to rescue us... Hold on a little longer. Even if I have my doubts that we’ll live long enough to greet them, hold on.
Second Stallion:
Может быть, помощь уже в пути, но я не жду ее. Нам нужно добраться до северной бухты. - Maybe help is on its way, but I’m not waiting around for it. We’ve got to get to the north bay.
There is a sound like a bullet flying nearby.
First Stallion
Я не уверен, что хочу возвращаться. Что, если мир узнает, что мы делали? - I'm not sure I want to go back. What if the world finds out what we were doing?
Static crackle, and very possibly a nervous sounding laugh
Second stallion, weakly:
Они будут знать, что мы стояли с Черной Пяткой против Light Water и его Чернобога. У меня сдуло шляпу по дороге к хижине. Я чувствую, как мой разум ускользает. Меня укусили, и я теряю кровь. Мне нужно идти на берег. - They will know that we stood with Black Heel against 'Light Water' and his Chernobog. My hat has blown off in the run to the hut. I can feel my mind slipping. I have been bitten and am losing blood. I must go to the shore.
The next sound is either a static crackle, or the sound of blood spurting out of the mouth. Hard to tell.
First stallion, with mild despiration:
Нет. Оставайтесь на месте. Солдаты идут, чтобы спасти нас. - No. Stay put. The soldiers are coming to save us.
Second stallion, in fear:
С каждой минутой создается все больше нежелательных элементов. Я не жду, когда стану марионеткой. Я еду на берег. За Хохтед-Хилл! - More Unwanted are created by the minute. I am not waiting to become a puppet. I am going to the shore. For Crested Hill!
Multiple gunshot cracks like a machine gun. The sound cuts off.

Or know any magical effects that could lead to such a situation?

An insect sound that sounds massive and... off. A slight growl that is also, well, it mimics but does not belong to a mammal. There is a sound of a bullet passing by, implying they are being shot at by at least one firearm bullet.

They were also doing something that they do not want world to know about...what were they bringing with them on that ship? Is it was is attacking them now? Turning them into puppets, controlling their minds? We must hurry. Kira should take point, let her scout ahead so we can avoid whatever this thing is and get to those Navy ponies faster."

"Unwanted" - it may have been the similar if distinct word to mean "uninvited." Hard to say. "Petrushka" - a "little Peter." It is a term to mean a puppet. "Chernobog," a figure of folklore, a "black god" or devil.

Cavaliere might let Kira go first if she agrees with Silver (she probably will), but he will be just behind her and to the right of the group, within visual range.

So:
Kira,Brie
Dust, Rosie, Garv
Silver, Mala?
Ten?
Pretty solid formation, depending on initiative. I could geek all day about strategies and possible synergistic maneuvers. Brie prefers to go at the same time as someone else, so that he can coordinate with them; either giving them flanking on their attack, and/or removing the opponent's dexterity bonus cuz grappling. If the opponent is already grappled, flat footed, or blind (loses their dex bonus) Brie does 4d6 total on his sneak attack, which if he's already threatening, is 2x/round. He has ranks in tumbling (and the obvious flying) so he also likes to throw himself around and into the middle of the enemy formation and do a full-round dodge action to (total ac, 24). Or, if there's lots of them, drop a gas grenade and slowly work through them. Lots of options, very excite.

Unless confident of a pony's ability to authentically bluff being a Stalliongrader over comms, Brie would advise against it if for no other reason than that Stalliongrad's squad would ostensibly be unaware of this group's presence, and unless a proper feint/decoy could be setup, better to maintain stealth.

Silver is Severyanan, so he does indeed both speak the language and have the accent to match. He doesn't have any ranks in Bluff but with the Stalliongraders under duress they may not question it.
>>182584
Possible, though I'm not sure how responsive the soldiers would be to hearing a mare's voice through the radio.

That's another problem: the soldiers may not question it if Silver (a stallion) calls them over the radio, but it's more likely they will if Posey (a mare) does. So, the question becomes do we risk using Silver who no ranks in Bluff but is a stallion, or do we risk using Posey who has plenty of ranks in Bluff but is a mare?

Silver would have to use his (very low) bluff modifier to attempt a bluff. Posey could attempt it, but she’d have a very heavy debuff because she doesn’t speak Bolshevik and shouldn’t be able to pronounce the words. Mares in the military is not unheard of, especially in the role of a radio operator, but is still not super common on or near the frontlines.

The cloak is actually relatively thick and the hem reveals it to consist of three different fabrics, or three different cloaks, sewn together. The inside one is of lavender color. She lifts up her hoof and flex it's biceps muscle? Or something, anyway, her hoof goes from being somewhat unassuming to mold into a mound of statue-eque thickness. But then she looks up with pleading eyes as if she's mere foal asking her mom for cute stuffed animal she saw in the store.

When it came time to pay they both frantically searched around and didn’t have money. To me it looked like they genuinely thought they had money; I assumed that if they wanted to dine and dash they would have just left. But they said they were with you and said where you lived. They basically said to put it on your tab, which was fine since I knew they were with you and you’re a partial owner. I’m sorry, I thought they were your mistresses you were keeping here away from your marefriend.

“No, I haven’t seen them bring up any zebras stallions, or any stallion besides you. I saw one of them leave yesterday morning. It was the green one. She was wearing a sweater. It kind of looked like she was going to work, but I don’t know. I kind of got the impression they were homeless. One of them mentioned they were from near Cloudsdale. That’s the Changeling zone.”

>>182704
They did not. Harpoons only.
>>182705
“Sure. You want them out of your room? I… suppose I can make that happen. Yeah. Not Cloudsdale exactly but some city near there. I asked them where it was near and they said Cloudsdale.”

Cavaliere waits for Silver and Posey to complete their radio broadcasts and then asks the grizzled Sevaranyan, "What's happening at their end?"
Amber looks pensive for a moment before replying, "Decent or not, a lot of ponies like to gossip. I know my other boss and her waitresses do, especially about me and my coltfriend. I know his mother gets into gossip too and tries to share it all with me." She shakes her head. "What should I do?"

>simply retry telling bluffs that work until you get an average
Taking 10 isn't retrying. It's doing something carefully in a non-stressful situation.
>When your character is not being threatened or distracted, you may choose to take 10. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, calculate your result as if you had rolled a 10. For many routine tasks, taking 10 makes them automatically successful. Distractions or threats (such as combat) make it impossible for a character to take 10. In most cases, taking 10 is purely a safety measure —you know (or expect) that an average roll will succeed but fear that a poor roll might fail, so you elect to settle for the average roll (a 10). Taking 10 is especially useful in situations where a particularly high roll wouldn’t help.
Only one try is made
Retrying over and over is taking 20.
>Taking 20 means you are trying until you get it right, and it assumes that you fail many times before succeeding. Taking 20 takes twenty times as long as making a single check would take.

Assuming Silver translates for us
"They are calling for help, but... It is not really our problem, is it? We should secure the airponies first." She says
"After we secured the airponies, we could see what's left of them." she continues
She turns to the group
"Does that sound like a good idea?"
>>182802
"Well, it appears that is that. They must be preoccupied with fighting, or suspect that we could be spies."

"The more we talked with them, the higher our chances of being found out were," Cavaliere responds, sounding disappointed. "We should have left off sooner instead of pushing our luck. Was there any mention of their strength or what caused their distress?"

Silver does his best to give a summary to the creatures who don't speak the language. "It appears there was mutiny among Stalliongraders. According to pony on other side of radio, around four fifths of them under leadership of pony named Light Water have commandeered Kostroma, while remaining soldiers and sailors have been forced off ship under leadership of Commissar Black Heel. It appears Black Heel's troops are under assault from both mutineers and some unknown magical threat, and are holed up in abandoned stone house on hill."

Im not begrudging anything.

Brie does NOT think the bluff check passed, even if it did. He doesnt speak russian, so he doesnt know.
Hes kinda shitting himself, cuz hes envisioning a whome squad deciding to look where they are.

A shudder runs down Vir's back as a memory of waking up to the splashing of Delamare river on its bank and hitting her head on the underside of its bridge. She rembered how the tips of her hooves had gone numb, the one part of her she hadn't been able to fit under her cloak. She also recounts the taste of alcohol induced womit in her mouth.
Vir jumps up in Heather's face like an big affectionate dog. She pulls Heather and her cute pony forelegs into her embrace as they both stand only on their backlegs.

"~Hello, chauve-souris au fromage." She says, still walking
She levitates her satchel with her magic, and from it produces five Easter eggs.
"Chances are that we will not make it off this island without fighting, so I think believe you might like to have these." She says, levitating one of the eggs
"Eggshell Dust Grenades. Alchemical weapons of the ninja from the east, crafted by my maste- I mean Mentor. Throw them directly at your target, and they will be blinded for long enough for you to take advantage of them. I believe you might fancy them."

Her unseen servant opens her satchel, and she produces several items.
"As a freehorn warmagus, it is often that I get paid in avant garde ways. I am not versed in the currency of this country. Would you please tell me what the following items are worth in gold bits? I am trying to open a business, so I need to count my assets. We do not do the paper money thing where I come from."
The items are
>Hyena Totem (magic item)
>Hyena Mask (magic item)
>Gold Bracelet (the one from the Crocutta apartment)
>Gold necklace
>Gold Bangle
>Clip of magic bullets
>Second clip of magic bullets
>Magic Crystal that was attached to a magic rifle
>186 dollarydoos
>24 Thalers
>38 Abyssinian Birrs
I've had these items for a long time, and I have no idea what they're worth. I asked what their value was a while ago, but GM was occupied, so I didn't get their value. I have no ranks in appraise, so I can't appraise the value of exotic items (basically all magic items).
You have a mod high enough to take 10 on each item though.
GM, if you forgot the value of the jewelry, please just roll one of the treasure tables or just assign whatever value you deem is appropriate.
Posey flags down Brie
"~Hello, chauve-souris au fromage." She says, still walking
She levitates her satchel with her magic, and from it produces five Easter eggs.
"Chances are that we will not make it off this island without fighting, so I think believe you might like to have these." She says, levitating one of the eggs
"Eggshell Dust Grenades. Alchemical weapons of the ninja from the east, crafted by my maste- I mean Mentor. Throw them directly at your target, and they will be blinded for long enough for you to take advantage of them. I believe you might fancy them."

Idk what the abilities of this weapon are, but knowing its price could help me guess.
The bullets I believe should be worth at least 368.32 gp per clip (assuming 8 bullets), but idk their enhancement bonus, so I want to be sure.
Rosey Ring levitates the items to Brie, and requests that he help her estimate their value, in exchange for giving him the eggshell grenades.

I DO hope that this 10 minites of Brie being not on lookout wont be consequential,....
Eh, Im not worried, he can be interrupted at any time.
But about the eggs,.... First off, are they in s carton? :3
Secondly and in character:
"Na te kuini po...." Brie mutters softly, lifting one of the eggs gingerly.

"If it weren't a bother and you'll permit me to inquire, I would be most interested to learn more about your mentor and how he came upon the recipe for these. A recipe either lost or hidden ages ago.Naturally I'll have to try one at earliest convenience; for science," theres that twinkle in the eye again. His eyes dart reflexively to the distant Griffons before visibly dismissing the idea.
"While they are no doubt effective simply thrown at an opponent, the egg shell is intended for its breakability after all, one is actually intended to crush the egg in the frog of their hoof and then fling the powder directly into the pony's eyes. A pony will tend to react more evasively to a thrown object than sudden sparkledust, and that moment of incomprehensiom can be the difference between success and failure."

"In my own,... studies, Ive had the chance to look over a torn manuscript that describes their use in detail, but all attempts to ascertain/decipher the recipe - that I'm familiar with - have been unsuccessful. Beyond myself, I can safely assert a half dozen or so in particular who would pay well for a supply of these, and handsomely for the recipe."

She pauses

She continues
"The grenades are created with alchemy: they may be difficult to recreate for any pony who lacks magical power. The components are rather cheap, but the skill required to make them steep."

This is precisely what the crush-the-shell, eye-flick technique is intended to address. It focuses the powder directly at the face/eyes of the opponent, rather than letting the contents rupture and chaotically spill everywhere to the consequence of the user and any potential allies.
Not saying it will.make any difference, but regardless he is familiar with the technique and would employ it. (Unironically, he has a mission to get as many of these eggs to Lacey's Grandfather for study as possible)

Tricky has a smile across her face, and her wet tail starts to move, as if being wagged. She looks away. "That's uh, that's nice of him." Her head is moved away, but she looks up towards Dark Star.
