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.

>>183093
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.

What are we doing?

"Muh, ehheh..."
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.

>>183153
She makes a scrunchy expression

"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?

Cavaliere helps Kira guide the party as the hills and fog help provide concealment. He tries to spot anything up at the ridge.
