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.

Well, I guess I could use my Detect Magic SLA to determine its aura strength, caster level and school. I was going to cast it anyway to check out the rest of the treasure.
Just put it in the bag and I'll examine it at the end of the mission.

Sørvik replies, looking and sounding irritated
Wat doe je om mijn kluis te kraken?”
He stops, looks down at the object, and takes a second.
“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.

“Hell of a job. What did you say it was you do? Like a secret agent or something?”

Where exactly were we in the narrative? I don't know anymore. I thought we were on our way to the lighthouse, but idk now. It's fine if we want to take time to examine the harpoon thing.

“Alright, I’ll let you keep your secrets. Just like with the mares…” he looks down and reaches for something. When he pulls it up, it’s Apple Whiskey.

We're waiting for a description of what's being broadcast over the radio, since it sounds like the Stalliongraders are in trouble and it possibly will lead into the next encounter.

The dark griffon sighs. "Sommige pony's hebben erg plakkerige hoeven. Ze vonden het interessant."
He turns to the others. "Like I thought, it is an explosive harpoon. It will explode after a set time delay."
And yes, we need a radio description.

>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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

>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.

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."
Are they speaking in non-bolshevik?
>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.

Brie summons all his metaforce to indicate to certain players how close they are to blowing it
There is a small click, and the sound turns off. It seems that this "Currant Leaf" has turned his radio off.

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."

Our job is finding the airponies.
It could be worth it to see what the communists are up to though.
Which is closer?

"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?"

Things we learned

Quite a bit of info, if you ask me.
Let's go to the light house.

To clarify, Brie thinks that the worst possible outcome just came to pass
"There is a nonzero chance that the enemy knows of our presence, but they seem to be too preoccupied to pursue us at the moment. We should make haste to find the airponies."
She continues marching, towards the lighthouse
>>182818
I mean, +16 is a decent gamble, even if there's a huge penalty.
I think it was worth the risk.
>oversight
Oversight of what?
Posey was just repeating what Silver told her, which was the plan we agreed on.

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."

Kira: "Can't we go save them? Maybe if we help them, they'll help us or at least leave us alone?"
Silver: "Kira..."
Kira looks at the group with big, pleading lamia eyes.

"Expect the best, prepare for the worst. That's the motto that I trot by." Posey replies, holding her head confidently.
>>182822

>"Can't we go save them? Maybe if we help them, they'll help us or at least leave us alone?"
"We have our own mission to attend prioritize, and our own ponies to save. We should secure our air ponies before we take detours."
OOC, I have no problem with going to save the radio ponies, but in-character Posey is supposed to be coldhearted and pragmatic.

They why didn't you ever say at any time, "This is a bad idea, let's not do this?" You agreed with the idea, both IC and OOC.
>>182823
Kira: "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase..."
She directs the full force of her pleading lamia gaze towards Posey.
Kira, if you haven't already figured it out, is basically like kindness and cuteness given a lamia's form. My primary concern is how badly it will mess with GM pone's plans for encounters, and what he thinks about the idea.

H-hey, GM already ruled that charm gaze doesn't work on fellow PCs... And m-muh immunities
Fuck it, Will Save

You could have said something if you disagreed with the plan.
>>182826
Posey is unfazed and coldhearted, but considers her offer
"Perhaps we could intervene, but I still would prefer to find the airponies first." She says
"Perhaps the airponies could even assist us once we find them. They're trained marines, after all."

I've been working on Posey's manner of speaking. I want to minimize contractions in her vocabulary.

Rosey presented herself as being able to pull off the subterfuge. It remains to be seen how it turned out. But Brie is interpreting from radio that it failed. He could be wrong, and he/I could owe you/Rosie an apology

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.
>>182837
Whether it succeeded or not, Posey was following Silver's direction and did the best job you could reasonably expect.
