In the far-off, northern island of Mended Horn, the party there has learned that they face an enemy they have dubbed "The Traveller." They have decided to go to an old, abandoned village there in hopes of rescuing some communist sailors.

In Baltimare, Dark Star tries to get things in order, while Virgin Flame looks for her old friend.

Kira tilts her head. "Well, wherever the Kostroma is, we've got some things we need to do to get ready, then we're going to go to the Kostroma to take out the Traveler/Entity thing. Why don't you come with us? You can help lead us to the Commissar, and he can help us with taking it out."

Hearing Silver call out into the airplane fuselage helps save Kira from having to debate the world's origin. She goes back to the door she came through, and helps Silver climbs up into the plane. "She's from the Kostroma. She knows where the airship and the Commissar is, and she wants to help save the Commissar. Can we?"

Looking at the mare in her tin foil hat and with her beaker cutie mark, Silver speaks to her. "Ты ученый из Костромы, да? Как тебя зовут?" - "You are a scientist from Kostroma, right? What is your name?"

The commissar still, although the whale skeleton is likely closer than the airship

"Well, there is the torpedo and explosives... We were looking at the radio, for long range communication."

"Yes, this plane had several. The radio is long range and can be heard further away than short wave."

Hmmmmmm...okay. The plan currently in motion:

1.) Find the Commissar, rescue him if necessary, and recruit him to the group band of creatures.
2.) Have Posey reanimate the leviathan whale skeleton, for aid against the Traveler and/or disabling the ship the GRU came here on.
3.) Find and rescue the Airponies, and assess if the airship is in a repairable state or if its engines need to be scuttled.
4.) Go to the Kostroma, kill the Traveler, use magic to send a message out across the island to the formerly-possessed ponies to return to the ship ASAP, and escape the island with as many of the defecting commies as possible.

Silver: "You have been on this plane longer than us. Do you think they can be brought with us?"

Why do we need to find the commissar?
Also, these steps need not be in order. The air ponies should come first though.

"Not easily. The radio is in the plane and the torpedoes are heavy. The one here is stuck in the plane"

Is innuendo even a 3.5e skill? I thought it was 3rd edition only?

>>186890
mild concern
"It's a little risky to be on a crashed plane with enough undetonated explosives to sink a ship. To sink a ship…if we can transport one of these torpedoes, we could easily sink the Kostroma. Guaranteeing the Fellow Traveler's destruction would need us to get closer."
