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.

By "arial point" I mean an arial patrol with emphasis on surveilalance and observation....
"We should hurry to the lighthouse." Rosey Ring says
She begins to trot towards the lighthouse.
"Careful the fog. There could be necrophages."

Rosey Ring increases her pace as she moves towards the lighthouse.
"We already know that the commies are going to the North Port: we don't have to worry about them. For now, all we need to be wary of is monster activity, which is a serious threat to consider if those sounds on the radio are what I think they are."
She majestically gallops towards the lighthouse

Cavaliere hikes along and keeps his distance along the right side from the rest of the others. He warily watches the fog as he traverses the uneven landscape.

Can Silver recall any information on these "Unwanted", or Light Water's "Petrushka" and "Chernobog", given his origin?

Silver: "It sounds as if Stalliongrad is also sending relief force, and when they arrive we will be truly in trouble. 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.

Okay everypony - what is the formation of players like? Who is first and who is where?
>>182547
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.

Kira: "Those poor ponies...I know they're supposed to be our enemies, but...surely there's something we can do. Can't we help them? Maybe if we help them out, we can get them to leave the island peacefully."

My understanding is that Kira has ground point, and Brie is directly over her position, probably closer to 40' as we get further from the village

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.

“You poor thing. You must be thirsty after being away for so long.”
He pours another one.
“Kind of early in the day to be drinking multiple rounds though, don’t you think?

he sips the second one more slowly, savoring it

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.

Whiskey always has a hard flavor, but he can taste the wood, and taste the apple.
“You really like that Apple Whiskey, don’t you? Any desire to try anything new, or would you just like to stick what is tried and true for now?”

"What else do you got up there? anything exotic?"

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?

Do armies not have mares in this RGRE-fueled fandom mileau?
Whatever, a check might not even be necessary. Ask GM

“Well, other brands. This Tall Tails whiskey, this one from Trotsas, these are from the other side of the line. Not easy to replace. A couple other foreign products. There’s wine, you know. Vodka too. What are you feeling like?”
>>182604
>>182618
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.

Silver hoofs over the radio along with a message to repeat: "Это спасательная группа, вызывающая Костромскую экспедицию, приезжайте в Кострому. Что там внизу происходит? Похоже на перестрелку. Вы вступили в бой с фашистами? Кто враг?" He repeats it multiple times to Posey to help her get the pronunciation down pat.
A basic translation for the benefit of the rest of the party: "This is the relief force calling the Kostroma expedition, come in Kostroma. What's going on down there? It sounds like a firefight. Have you engaged the Fascists? Who is the enemy?"

Posey repeats the message to herself a few times, and then repeats it into the microphone, trying to sound as charming and professional as possible.
Rolling to see if it sticks
[1d20+16 = (8+16) = 24]
Btw, I need to revise my known languages. I have enough to know three languages, but idk what's available.

Roll listen. Although Silver would be the only one with significant benefit. It's obviously a conversation between two ponies (presumably they are ponies) in a room speaking together, when they have forgotten the send-button is held down.
