Something tells me that the commie ponies are in a more perilous situation than the Navy ponies, and that even then the Navy ponies are probably not at the lighthouse.

Also, of the navy ponies are at the lighthouse, they probably won't freeze to death. Heck, they could stay in there for days or even weeks. Lighthouses are cozy.

Maybe we should go save the commies.

It's hard to tell which is more time sensitive. If we lose even one airpony because of the diversion I would count that as a failure. But, I don't want to miss the chance to investigate either.

To look at it from a narrative meta perspective, the GM probably would not have given us the radio signal at this exact moment if diverting course to save the commies were not at least a viable course of action. Even if we have little reason in character to delay our objective to help our enemies, I doubt we will be punished for following what looks like an obvious plot hook.

In character: Posey wants to find the airponies and get paid
Out of character: saving the commies could be fun

Also, depending on what that ship was transporting, there could be treasure.

Well technically, the radio section only existed because Silver's player said "hey, we could talk into these radios to the commies, right?"

I would have continued the radio thing a bit further if the lecturing on "taking a 10" hadn't pissed me off so much

Something that should be considered relevant: the area where the commies are (the old village) is the geographic center of the island, and in between the bay where the Kostroma is, and the North Bay

Yeah, but the radio did start making noise as we went towards the light house, so...

I say we check out what the commies are doing.
Maybe we help them.
Maybe we kill them.
Either way, it sounds like there's an encounter waiting for us.

Somewhere in the distance, a zebra raises his head as he takes a pause from the grass he's munching at his hooves. Over the sounds of a unicorn and a bap yelling at each other over Zanit knows what, he thought he heard something. Eh, must have been the wind. He returns to his snack while he waits to hear what the others are doing.

There's a stirring, and muttering sounds.

Sea Stone is waking up

>>183147
High Sewn:

"Oh, well, there are professional summits, like the Importer's Association will host a Gala, and you meet ponies there. And then things like my local book club. I don't know if I would call myself a socialite. I did that more often when I lived in Canterlot, but my life was very different then."

To Cavaliere:

Cavaliere is able to figure out quickly enough how to get to the desired location. The valley between the hills leads to a ridge of a third hill, and on this ridge is the old village

>>183149
The grass is short and often brown, as there is clear sign of frost damage. Dust can at least get a mouthful.

"I see. What brings you here?"

>>183166
As stated to Cavaliere:

The valley between the hills leads to a ridge of a third hill, and on this ridge is the old village. Simply go straight from the whaling station, more or less.

>>183169
The fog has thickened dramatically, making it hard to spot much of anything ahead. Brie actually loses sight of the party momentarily, until he spots Dust, then Posey, as Posey's white rump stands out against the brown and green ground. That supple white rump... so soft, yet so.. thicc.... Wait. Was Brie supposed to be looking for danger?

Posey is no stranger to sharing her mind and body with Eldritch entities and transactionally worshipping strange idols.
She closes her eyes, whispers a soft prayer with the name, and reaches out to whatever nameless horrors will answer to the call.

The party has made its way to a sort of valley, just inland from the whaling station. The ground is covered in partly dead grass. To left and right, the ground raises slightly. There is an ancient stone wall to the left within view. The dense mists prevent any view further than 100 feet.

Standing on the wall is a black figure that removes a 5-pointed star, and four or five feet tall. In the right is much the same. The ground moves, and the misty air visibly rotates in unnatural vortexes

Sea Stone speaks loudly, though he fails to make eye contact with anypony

“Who here would look refuge from Death? Our fellow traveler can grant it, once he figures out what death is. But not for this creature. He is much too kind for that.”

He starts to speak in the strange, black language the white unicorn insists on,
“ सूर्यः त्वां दहति।”

Above, as if from a flare, the mists glows orange, illuminating the field.

The figures in the distance vanish in a disruption of air. The ground moves.

Then from the air, smoke moves, and out from it pops out two creatures, more or less identical to each other:

They look like massive jet-black starfish, with purple hued interiors, and a single big black orb that must be an eye. It stands on a single tentacle-leg. One is to each side.

From the ground, and to each side, something pops out of the ground. It is massive, like a five foot long cross between a snake and a centipede with black, chitinous exoskeleton, though it is covered in brown fur like a tarantula. It's eyes are not easily seen, and its mouth is a beak with three, long tentacles.

Kira lets out a series of frightened expletives in her native language before drawing three arrows and wheeling around to get a better view of the enemies. She targets the centipede currently being grappled by the far more brace bat with precise shots, firing two arrows with her first draw at once, then the third arrow on her second draw.

Posey has Cerebrosis: exposure to the far realm has permanently mutated her mind and driven her insane. Her experiences as an alienist are part of her backstory.
Despite being a perverted masochist, there's only so much slime and tentacles a pony can take at once, and being thrown into the Cerebrotic mire to boil in the rotten puss flowing from the festering wounds of a mad god long dead was not the favorite part of her training....

"It will, I know. But there's only demon starfish around it seems. All I've had to eat since we left is bones. I am looking forward to being able to eat pony flesh again, or better yet, hippogriff." He looks upwards in ecstasy as he recalls some memory, then looks back to Silver

"I know ponies don't like it when I do that, but I feel like this whole thing we do here, well, that you do, is like a whole special exception to the pony world. Like, the pony society has rules. Very basic rules like you don't kill other ponies, and especially ponies with power. Then I saw you imprison my two superiors. You shot and killed the zebras that bullied me. And you killed that rich pony who was lord over us all. And you got praised for it. Paid for it. You fucked that griffin. You were loved even by the police for it.

Much of my life I thought that the ponies didn't like me because I was a kind of monster. The way I behaved made me monstrous to them. I thought I kind of deserved it and needed to be separate from the pony society. That is why I was with Sweat's society. I thought I could be accepted there, even though I really wasn't. Then I saw you, and I realized that it was okay to be violent, or carnivorous. It was okay to be a monster. Because monsters could be loved too. I could be loved too. By ponies."

Posey just mentioned that they're aberrant monsters of pure madness from beyond the realm of insanity who won't rest until everything else is just as twisted and insane as them.

"Interlopers from beyond the void. Some refer to these sorts of creatures as 'beachgoers', from their resemblance to loathsome sea creatures and their dual-worldly nature."
She gestures towards the shore
"Think of the Far Realm as the ocean, and our reality as this island. The Cerebrotic Periphery is the place where they intersect, like a beach, where creatures of land and meet and hunt one another. It is also known as the mire, for its swampy and foul appearance, like a wetland."

While I'll leave most of the guess work to Posey, Brie discerns two things quickly

The Monster enocuntered by the griffins was of a qualitatively different nature than what attacked them just now. The most recent set more closely mimicked chitin, fur, and in general, recognizable biology than the vaguely dog-like creature did, even if the latter came closer to resembling a known taxonomy than the former.

And second, this was absolutely not disclosed in the briefing.

>>183505
So The island has a vaguely anvil shape. The southwest end and the northwest end both have hills. The party went along the western coast, and to a low point between these two hills where the whaling station was. East and a little north east from there is a narrower part of the island between two bays, like two inverted horseshoes. This is another hill, which the part is going to go climb up to lead to the old village.

The whole area is essentially deserted pastures and fields on rolling hills. Ruined stone walls that demarcated padlocks are still seen.

Mala is massive, about on par in terms of mass with Silver and bigger than Posey. He is simultaneously very fluffy with thick fur, fat, and muscular. He wraps his hooves around Silver in his own hug, but then tries to place a leg around Posey when she comes up.

He smiles, and places his chin over Silver. His tail wags.

Posey can instantly tell that while they have some vague resemblance to things she's heard of, something is different about them. Specifically, they shouldn't be materializing and then dematerializing.

I am choosing to believe that Mala is actually a young Flind Gnoll. It would explain why he's fatter and more charismatic than most

As the figure gallops through the mist, it becomes more visible. It's covered in a thick, matted fur that's tinted yellow, and dirty, with small amounts of debris caught in it. Kira can see that it is a sheep, a domestic variety of one, and an ewe.

It gives Kira and also Brie a wide berth, going around Kira to the right, but it doesn't slow down, and it doesn't seem bothered by the party. It moves around with a "Baa"

Demoralizing is good in combat.
They also added the duel of wills mechanic in the ToB, which lets you get a bonus on attacks when you use it in initiative.
But as a social skill it is the worst.
I still max it out, because Posey is supposed to be a scary conqueress.

It was just a shitpost roll anyway.

Brie begins most jovially and ALMOST charismatically, but gradually deepening in intensity, speed, and harmonic pitch.
"I appreciate the wont to be generous to the small sheep. It certainly seems otherwise innocuous, only needing a prestidigitation spell and a meal to make right as rain, but I'll also suggest - crazy that this may sound - this particular sheep spoke to me in a language Ive only ever heard a couple times that 'Im not supposed to admit to being able to recognize."

It's not like he's trying to fuck them. Reveal your Power Level. Dark Star needs training trying to convince normies of his grand plan, anyways. These are displacies; they should be easier to convince than the average mare.

"That seems a little strong to say that they hold contempt for us. Like... are we really superior? I know we ponies have a long history but... surely they have some too, right?"

"Although if somepony is going to be receiving hoof outs, shouldn't it be other ponies? We can't even get jobs here."

Why are you engaging in PvP over a stupid sheep?

Why does Posey have these bullshit "hey I get two extra free attacks with free hands at full attack bonus while I can use my hands hooves to cast spells just because hehe"?

Why is Brie within Posey's AoE radius when he can literally fly and there are no physical impediments to him moving away?

If the disarm is successful, Posey uses her other Dread to shoo away the sheep with a Run action (it has Frightful Presence), while Brie is still disarmed.

This would resolve the situation.

He also notices Mala's remark and the cleric's response. "I don't see any good reason to butcher and eat sapient creatures," he comments to Silver with evident disapproval. "I am a griffon and I eat meat, while you are a pony. Where are your harmonist morals and why are you dismissing one of those most basic principles as a mere 'social norm'?"

Cavaliere sticks with Silver, abetter of cannibals or not, and discusses the approach to the village with him. Mainly, that as Silver is the only one to speak Severanyan he is their sole interpreter. Stealth is useless now because of the gunshots and an open, honest approach would be best. Silver should talk with the Commissar but the party should keep an avenue open for retreat since communists cannot be trusted. Of course, he should stick with the pirates alibi and under no circumstances admit working for New Baltimare. The griffon sealers should be kept hidden and away from the village.

Hooves step on the ground. Air quivers and waves behind the party. Muttering sounds can be heard

While everyone in the group was watching the sheep, and a fight over the sheep, something has walked through the fog

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ponies have walked up in front of the group in a line. One near the center wears white and has a white hat. He holds a revolver. Three behind him wear green tinted uniforms, and hold long rifles. And another four carry wrenches or no weapons at all, all in blue uniforms. Their eyes are shot. They shake. They mutter to themselves. But they hold themselves up, in a ready position.

Behind the group, black circles appear in the air, and from them comes the smell of fire.

Large, canine-like creatures with humped backs, pointed ears and bat-like faces, and fire that periodically rises from their backs like burning coals, besides glowing orange eyes.

[Incomprehensible muttering]

I interpreted hearing voices as a short-lived gag because Posey believed the sheep to be an avatar of that goat-demon-thing. It seemed purely comedic and Posey rolled with that but Brie, in-character, treated it seriously. It should have been let go before it turned into PvP, non-lethal or not.
The safest place for the sheep would be anywhere on the island the party isn't at, because the party is headed towards hungry communists and is currently fighting demon-things. Also, the party has a voracious carnivore and a paranoid schizophrenic bat.

Regardless, Dust is even more mad at this. However, instead of attacking himself he makes his way over to Kira. He looks her in the eyes as he reaches a hoof to touch her weapon. She can see a blue glow travel from the earth, through Dust's three planted hooves, into his fourth hoof and into her bow. It feels noticeably colder.
"I hope for now this will suffice
To imbue your bow with the essence of ice"
All arrows will do an extra +1d6.
He then readies himself in front of Kira to defend her until his next turn

Rosey Ring herself takes a move action to get within 10 ft of the captain and riflemen.

She then Casts Aching Dread, and Aberrant spell that causes overwhelming fear. She does this in hope of overpowering the influence of the Traveller with her own, or at least get them to drop their weapon.

1st level:
Aching Dread
Necromancy [Fear, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Cerebrant 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 10 ft.
Targets: All enemies in a 10-ft. radius burst centered on you.
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Your mere presence alters the psychological landscape of the surrounding aether, injecting it with unseen phantasms and suggestions of danger born of cyclopean vistas. All creatures within the area are stricken with a feeling of horrible dread that causes them to become shaken for the duration.
Cerebrotic Escalation: Instead of merely attempting to shake your foes, on a failed save they are frightened (for 1 round/level). However, if you attempt this escalation, you must succeed on a DC 13 Will save. On a failed save, the spell fails and is lost, and instead you are frightened for 1 minute.

She escalates it
Will
[1d20+9 = (7+9) = 16]

Save DC 21 for the enemy.

This also triggers her frightful presence. Save DC 21.

What is a small degree? Do they gain the frightened condition from the spell
That escalates to panicked if they also lost the save vs her presence, not the penalty on saves from the frightened condition.

If they're frightened, they have to flee and cannot attack for the duration. If they're panicked, they drop whatever they are holding.

Dreadful Wrath should come into affect before the spell.

I don't mean to nitpick, but I need to know if my tactics are effective if I'm going to continue to spend precious spell slots next encounter.

These are not standard monsters, they are all under mind control. And what is mind controlling them is of the same nature as the type of scare that Posey is using. So are they supposed to be affected because they are getting an even more harsh dose of the same as what the puppeteer is giving them? Are they actually mostly under their own volition, and thus pretty normally vulnerable? Is Posey actually just showing the puppeteer these images, and thus they will be shrugged off?

This is on top of questions about how the fear affect actually works, like how many hit die a creature must have in order to be affected by it.

It's a hell of a lot of dice and numbers and things to think about

Isn't he next to Silver and therefore one of the hellhounds? His first shot would have provoked an attack of opportunity.
Anyway, although he is out of reach of the fire, he leaps back (takes a five-foot step) away from the left hellhound (hopefully not into proximity of one of the pony puppets!) and pulls the trigger twice on the large creature, aiming for the head.
