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.

Krr, the potential tea tray ring out as Vir places her tea cup on it.
"Okay," she says and nods absentmindedly before moving her full attention to Heather. "I-I wish to stay here. Just- Just for a short while. While I'm looking for my sister."
The chair creaks against the wooden floor as Vir stands up. She tosses the hem of her tan cloak so flips up on her back. 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.
"I'm not good with words but I can move stuff."

"Hey you never answered my question earlier, are those two mares still up in my room or did they leave?"

Heather takes a moment to look down at the strong, presumably thin limbs of the muscular mare.
She pets the poor mare’s mane, moving her hair to make sure she doesn’t cover Vir’s eyes.
“I.. believe we have an extra bed here. There’s a room for Vibrant Ray that he doesn’t use. I suppose it can be used by a mare in need. We’ve lent it out to those in need before, after all.”

He pauses for a moment.
“I have seen them since. I’ve seen them walking around the rooms, at least once. Twice I think. But more importantly I’ve seen them in the bar. I know the cream colored one has asked for you, but more so there was an incident. They both sat down and ordered food. Like a couple burgers and fries. 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. Okay well if you say that isn’t what they are then that isn’t what they are, but I figured they were… rescues? Is that how to put it? Like stray dogs you feed and they stay around. But yeah. I don’t know if they are here now. They have left at least a couple times I think.”

He laughs as Glimmering glass explains things
"yea its no problem, I brought them here to keep them safe, you know how it is out there, especially for a Drunk mare, easy pickings for some less than moral pony or"
He shudders "Some sub pony filth."
"i figured it was a good idea at the time. i still think it was the right thing to do, to be honest. We have no problems mr glass."
He glances at the stairs then around the bar
"When was the last time you saw one of them by the way?"

“Oh, well we don’t need to inquire into why every mare does what she does. Can you really say why any mare does exactly what they do, anyways? Who knows what could have motivated her. Let her have her privacy.”
>>182691
“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.”

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?"

Maybe, but we can discuss this in character after the radio broadcast is finished. Silver holds up a hoof to silence Cavaliere as they're not yet finished. He gives Posey another statement to repeat: Да, мы слышали вашу передачу. Можете ли вы предоставить более подробную информацию? Координаты, местонахождение и численность сил противника, что-нибудь?

>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.
>"Magic, I think. Come to us. Come now. We do not have much time."

"They are calling for help, but... It is not really our problem, is it? We should secure the airponies first." She says

She turns to the group
"Does that sound like a good idea?"

"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."

I have to go to work early tomorrow, so I can't stay up tonight.
Posey ultimately agrees to whatever plan the party does, while reminding them of the mission. She's all aboard with rescuing some communists so long as she still gets to kill.

You had multiple game days and plenty of replies to signal us to stop using the radio. Brie even offered to try to detect changeling speech. It's a little late to put on the brakes.

Whether it succeeded or not, Posey was following Silver's direction and did the best job you could reasonably expect.

Sorry, Im not intending to beleaguer. Brie thought he had a better idea (radio silence).
His idea wasnt followed, so he will assert everything failed cuz his idea wasnt followed. Its not personal. Still

Oh, sorry. I really shouldn't have done that, especially not in the RP thread.
I guess repeating a language you don't know counts as a stressful situation anyway.
I have to go to bed soon.

For the RECORD:
Im not begrudging anything.
What I AM doing is basing Brie's perspective off what he was thinking would happen, and what happened.
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.
But he hasnt SAID anything yet

Can't win everything. As GM just said, chance of failure makes things more interesting. I'm optimistic for how the story will go.

To clarify, that was all rp in character posturing anf mentalization. Im not mad, nor thinking anyone fucked anything.

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.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" she says.

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."
"These are all I have with me, and I do not have the skills to replace them. However, I could be persuaded to part with them, if you would do me a favor."
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.

Eh, Im not worried, he can be interrupted at any time.

"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."

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)

You know what? Sure

"Perhaps, or somepony else around who may know something." She says
Shortly after entering the room, Dark Star finds himself lunged at by an unknown attacker, hiding in ambush to the left of the door. He enters into the room, hears a creak, and then
squeak
Dark Star feels that he has been leapt upon by a small, green mare, who has wrapped her hooves around his shoulders. Dark Star stands strong enough that he is not knocked down by the force. Nevertheless, he is in her grasp.

The mare giggles as she grabs him, but a moment later, her smile fades to a grave expression. The pupils in her blue eyes shrink, and her lips go down. She lets go of Dark Star and moves away and then makes an awkward smile. Her tail is between her legs.
"I uh. I. Sorry. I thought you were... someone else."
She blushes and turns her head to look away.
Dark Star recognizes her as Succulent Sorrel.

I was shitposting with the grell alchemy. I just thought the items were similar in concept. I knew it was a storm king thing.

He sees her feeling embarrassed and slowly extends his hoof towards her in a non threating way, to shake hers
"Hi."

Well it's a dye, it ought to linger until it's either removed or grows out. Do you want him to go back to his dark red-brown? It would be difficult for him to reintegrate with the college if he did, though he'd certainly be Dark Star

yea he can always go back to the spa and get it dyed again, he's Red again let's say. he would have probably went for a swim a few times when he was down by the river so there might even still be some dye that is on him

The mare does not extend her own hoof, but backs up until her rump hits the wall and makes her sit down. She moves her head back c clearly cared.
“Who are - who are you?” She asks

She alternates between looking up towards Dark Star, and away from him.
“Oh. Uh… Yeah… Uh… He let us stay here. I think. Uh. We uh, were friends.

"Yea he mentioned something about waffles and cigarettes."
He laughs.
"He told me to come pick up some of his stuff, he said that he was going to let you and your friend stay here and pay for it for you."

“Oh yeah, heh heh, waffles. I remember that.” Her smile fades. “Did he say anything else about…” she pulls her lips back, showing her teeth. She places the tips of her hooves together. “Wait. Pay for it?!” She tilts her head

Dark Star feels a pair of knees on his shoulders and something on his back. At first it seems that the attacker has a grip on him, but then Dark Star remembers that he's awesome. So he knocks, or even bucks the attacker off.
Sorrel:
"Tricky, no! That's Dark Star. He's uh, a friend, of Solar. Apparently."

Are we getting to the light house tonight?
Not rushing, just wondering if I should stay up or just go to bed.

Dark Star can't see the mare, but just by feeling her he's able to extend his leg, hold onto her, and let her down gently. Presumably he would remove the wet towel that is covering his head so he looks less like a zebra in a turban.
Dark Star knows the voice as belonging to Tricky Truffle
"I uh... sorry... I just saw a strange stallion, and I though Succulent here was in trouble..."

I think we are missing people.

Tricky looks at Dark Star confused, at first. Then she looks closer, and is inquisitive
Tricky:
"Well hello, 'Dark Star'." She smiles, her golden eyes looking into Dark Star's and her fire-red mane, wet and hanging down. Her coat is porcelain white and still wet. "Are you a police officer?"

"What can I say, I can be a bad mare sometimes." She tilts her head, and with a sly smile asks
"Do I know you?"

"Yeah, uh... That's nice but... Why?"

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.
Sorrel
"I'm still kind of disappointed he left though."
Tricky stares daggers at her. Sorrel:
"What?"

Tricky and Sorrel look back towards Dark Star
"Will he be coming back any time soon?" Tricky asks
