I haven't really made it clear, but Virgin's cloak is tan with Celestia's cutie mark sun symbol on both the cloak's back and one smaller on her hoodie. In my latest drawing of her in the OOC thread, you can see what I mean.

I assume they will get her allegiance from that alone. Perhaps, we can go with that since it's on her back they don't see it at first or something so we don't have to retcon it.

"Rebel? Rebel against what?" Vir asks while tilting her head and looking up at them. She's confused.

My first question is a spot check [1d20+8 = (13+8) = 21] to try and see if anything about the situation seems off. I'm alluding to when Brie and Garv got ambushed.

I'm going to assume that if this IS an ambush,... and I am assuming that, that those rolls would likely not be sufficient to be certain, and in the face of uncertainty, he assumes the worst.
Brie wishes he was in audible range of everyone without ruining their surprise, cuz he thinks that theres a good chance that if we do swoop to and save the day, those commies might get hacked and start shooting us in the back. This traveler is testing us with moves like a chess player.

Does the symbolism align with any specific religious order?

"Against the caretaker government." He answers, evidently in disbelief . "Against us here."

>>184867
What has been right? The starfish, Brie knows, can move fast, the big one can probably throw things, and one of the Petrushka has a rifle. Is there more he isn't seeing? Hard to say. There is a house to the left that may hide something, and a third behind the middle. All this is besides what hides beyond the veil of fog.

Idk which religious orders exists in your world but its a depiction of Celestia's cutie mark in a size it could cover a rug.

About 50 feet in front of the party members is a stone, low wall, two and a half to 3 feet tall. A natural break exists on the left. To move over one of these walls is at least a move action. To the left of the break in the wall is a ruined house, with the narrow side facing the party. It is on top of the near, long-side wall that one of the starfish stands.

In front of the party, just in front of the wall, is a stone storage hut maybe 8 feet wide and a little shorter. Behind these another 50 feet is the house of interest, the one where the voices come from, and next to which the large creature stands. Behind this is another house, and beyond this there are shapes that are not discernable in the dim fog. To the right is a break in the wall that seems to have come down with time, and a starfish stands looking towards the house, with a storage hut in the distance.

>>184887
He scrunches back
"Move along"

>>184882
Technically the Starfish can move fast. It was Octopi that could camouflage. Brie sees nothing that looks like one of those Octopi, and a million places they could hide.

She feels a bit of fear in her gut but grins over it.

Cavaliere considers moving up to that next wall as cover, but decides against it and instead huddles against the nearer stone storage hut. Can he use the camouflage net in his inventory as a makeshift hunter's blind?

Wait, why are people with ranged attacks and no close range limitations moving closer? I want my surprise round.

I said earlier Posey is waiting to shoot. If a failed stealth roll is going to compromise the surprise round I would like to treat that as a readied action before initiative kicks off

Flying in broad daylight is the exact opposite of stealth. Maybe Brie can have an initiative roll, but there’s no way he could be airborne and unseen.

Not trying to be contentious, but in that Brie's suit employs a camouflage pattern, he could maybe be said to have a degree of concealment if utilizing the fog to his advantage (which he would).
His max range on a charge is 60', so he could be at 90', charge to 30', and take the shot?

No, he can’t hide in plain sight in the air while moving at only 30 feet distance. Yes, there is fog. It’s now at 200 feet visibility.

>can he charge
Perhaps, but that’s more than enough space for the opponents to react, which is to say, roll initiative

Yes. The starfish on the left is the easiest, simply move up (quietly enough) to the wall, crouch behind the wall, and through a knife up at the starfish.

Technically any of the enemies could be sneak attacked, they are just going to notice an object moving in the sky in their peripheral vision.

So long as we attack first, the enemy is going to be flat-footed. It shouldn't be that complicated for everyone to attack on the surprise round.
The fact that they haven't attacked us yet means we get a surprise round, on which we can all attack them flat-footed.

Im just being particular because you only get a single action on a surprise, either movement or whatever; rogues cant sneak attack past 30', so Brie has to close distance before the surprise round single action to be able to get a sneak attack.

Vir snaps back to reality. Right, buck these guys.

She pulls her head back and narrows her eyes.

"Tch," she clicks her tongue but then she mellows somewhat.

"Fine. You might know after all." She turns towards the unicorn. "I'm looking for somepony. A unicorn called Hope's Anchor, ringing any bells?"

She looks pleadingly at the unicorn, clearly he's the most sensible of the two. [1d20+0 = 20] Plead

Vir has not weapons. Only a badass cloak and hair pins and thick plot of muscles. ^^

Vir's snowpity has a similar essence to a blend between AJ and Derpy.

"...Oh, okay," Vir says, surprised that her pleading worked. Then she beams up. "Oh. Oh! Thank you!" She gives him a friendly tap with her feminine but meaty hoof. "Didn't really think you'd help a sister out. That's so nice of you. Do you know in which building they are in?"

How does the pegasus stallion react to this by the way? Is he also effected by her simple charm or is he annoyed by his friend's simping?

The Pegasus extends a leg in front of his unicorn companion, the latter of whom is slightly behind the former.
"Careful. She could crush you with those thighs."

The black unicorn answers
"Yes, they are in the Grand Baltimare Hotel. It's about two blocks over that way" Pointing in front of himself and past Vir, basically east and towards the ocean. "And... well, quite a few blocks down, but you'll recognize it by the security presence."

Well, there's two types of weaponized cuteness mares can use: adorableness, and sexiness. The latter is probably easier for Vit simply because of her age, but she's a pony mare, so she has access to either. I assumed you meant she used big pony eyes on the stallion.
