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.

Nah, as a GM I would say no to the player who tried on grounds of meta, because Brie has only experienced common and uncommon items and wouldn't fully appreciate the potential risks/gravity of such an item yet. If its all the same, I would retract.

"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. 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.

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."

Cavaliere looks at him with a serious, yet empathetic expression.
"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."

"Dat zijn ze waarschijnlijk wel. We sloegen een eenzame zeeman bewusteloos op het strand ten westen(?) van hier. Hij was net zo hysterisch als jij met de kroon op. We weten niet wat de oorzaak was of wat ze nu aan het doen zijn. Jij en je vrienden hebben tien minuten om te verzamelen wat je nodig hebt voordat we vertrekken. Ik zal mijn collega's ook klaarmaken."
He turns around to the others. "He'll be cooperative with us. From what he knows of this island, the ponies are either at the lighthouse on the northern point, at the village on the southern bay, or in the older village in the middle.

He gives a single nod, and then looks to the yellow griffin, and starts speaking in a language that is less silly, but more alien. Then he speaks sharply to the black griffin, and looks around and finds the white griffin. They are sharp in their replies back and seem to start arguing.

Isn't Posey referring to within the ship?
"Assuming more of this ship isn't completely flooded, we should split up. I will start with the wheelhouse." He adopts a more stern look, and glances especially at Posey, Mala and Brie. "Let the griffons keep their personal possessions. Anything that they choose to leave behind is free for the taking."

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?"

She scratched the back of her neck.
"Yeah, about that. The point of the story is that, and it's kinda of a long story anyway so we can skip head to it: At some point, I started drinking and now I'm almost an alcoholic. So while I'm embarrassed to ask this, do you have some... Wine?"

The griffins start bickering, and start moving, especially after the white one speaks to the others.
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."

These griffons gave up everything they had to pursue a life out at sea, and now they have to give that up, too. 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.

Ostensibly, any loot will be a result of individual search checks that can be freely allowed (within reason, so taking a 10 or rolling 10 times) and where progress could be stalled until all players weigh in individually, if GM doesnt mind

Silver gives the white griffon the notes they've collected.
Actually, now that I think on it, wasn't at least one of the griffons injured before they encountered them, or at least was covered in blood?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means that its been confirmed that the captain remembers fuckall but put the crown on, went eldritch crazy,... involuntarily.
Does Brie need to roll a check to connect that the crown may have mind controlled the captain possibly without it even being in his possession?

The wound seems mostly competently handled for now. It could use more pressure though, to make sure that the wound coagulates and does not come apart as they move.

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

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...

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."

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.

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.
Probably should have included a sextant
>survival check bonus
For purposes of navigation, yes.

Brie will hope theres a safe in the captain's quarters and will search there
[1d20+11 = (15+11) = 26]

It would be valuable in this setting because it might help with spot checks at a distance, but the window for usefulness is narrowing due to fog and diminishing sunlight.
Cavaliere lends the telescope to Brie, saying "You're a skilled lookout; see if you can make good use of this."
He spends his remaining time on the boat searching for something that could use this sort of key.
[1d20+2 = (17+2) = 19]
But how much do the compass and map weigh? Cavaliere is dangerously close to the heavy load threshold.

Brie accepts the telescope with a quizzical expression (if not masked), picturing its use being something like pic related. He pulls some paracord from a bracelet to loop it so it hangs across his back.
"I found keys. With luck we can find what they open before departing"

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.

Flowercup blinks
"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
Sri... Cervidea?"
She struggles to pronounce it
Heather:
"It's an older container we have from overseas. I thought I'd bring it out for you."
>>181736
It does appear there is a safe. A small one.
The keys are not for the safe.
>>181737
Cavaliere finds it. It's the boat. It fits the boat's motor.
>Weight
Uh, I'm not sure. A few pounds

Fuck the keys then
[1d20+15 = (2+15) = 17] (I gave a +2 cuz his gloves should also be masterwork, ostensibly granting him a +2 to his lockpick check, but if thats too much I'll ammend it)

Upon review, its masterwork TOOLS that grant the +2, so ammending that. Theres no listing for "try again", so Im just gonna try again

Im assuming that failed
>simple lock is 20dc by the book
3 searches, and 2 lockpick attempts. How much time left?

Reeee it shouldn't be more than one pound
Cavaliere goes to inform the others. "We can use the key to start the ship's engine. I doubt that she is still seaworthy."

>"Um, tea?"
Vir chuckles at the cuteness before her. Surely, Flowercup has to have a charisma score beyond thirty. ^^
>Sri... Cervidea?"
"Sorry," Vir says through a chuckle. "Didn't mean to put you on the spot."
>"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."

Hello, the zeeber is not dead. Just preoccupied.
I guess I'll join in the looting unless any more medical help is needed? Of course search is an Int skill.

Oh, yeah. Considering zoober is likely only gonna find his boat with that search check....
Mr. Zeeb walks up to the bat where he sits, safe cracking, and raises a hoof with a slight glow to it. He looks at Brie with an inquisitive look.

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.

Dust looks at Brie and gestures the glowing hoof towards his ears.
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....

Brie realizes what's being offered, nods briefly and pulls out a cigarette and a match. He relaxes visibly and lights the cigarette. "Much appreciated! I can't imagine that went how you envisioned it. There was a moment where I was seeing red, fortunately I couldn't move and by the time I could bullets were flying. No hard feelings!"
