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.

"It is not the sort of creature that would die in a fire or freezing water. Destroying the ship would certainly make it easier to deal with its thralls though." Posey says, nonchalantly
"It is still risky though. There are better ways. If I could get into mid range without losing concentration and summon a flock of bats, I may be able to make most of the crew due of bleed damage, assuming they lack any evokers."

No. The airponies should be first. They are the entire purpose of this mission. Everything else is an afterthought.

The GRU and the Traveler are distracted right now, but I don't know if we'll have the time to do all of that backtracking. It's also far more likely that the Airponies will stay where they are at while the Commissar is more likely to move if we don't get to him quickly.

Anyway, I think this calls for some Arcana checks, to determine that it's NOT a construct

Hopefully no. Silver explains his thoughts to Brie. "Could you remove torpedo warhead, and then using radio within this plane make remote detonator to attach to it? We could force it inside Traveler, detonate it remotely, and it would kill Traveler while his body would absorb force of explosion, preventing Kostroma from being destroyed as well."

Well, if it's not undead, and it's not a construct, all the other available creature types (outsider, aberration, magical beast, dragon, elemental, etc; with the exception of Deathless which is basically just "good undead") should count as living things for the sake of spells (except for anti life shell, which is weird) and effects. I'm just checking for the sake of tactics and planning how to destroy it.

Brie holds out his hooves in a shrug gesture, as though to indicate that there is no vompelling argument for him to fuck off from everything to playbwith this torpedo, under the assumption that if a compelling case WERR made he could ALWAYS go back, and assume that we're ready to go toward the maines

Brie shrugs, but wastes not a moment.
"Garv, flank out, shoot anything that moves. Silver, you're on Ms Kubana, she has marines to locate. Rosie? Uh... I trust you to do the magic thing. Dust... keep an eye on her, but conserve your energy; we're likely to gather more injured before this is over," he takes a moment to reload the 3 shots from earlier.
"Any questions?"

Fine, let's do it. Survival roll to watch out for enemies and to track the marines.

"It's risky either way. If we keep them with us, it's a liability. If we leave then somewhere, its also a liability. Can Pipette be trusted to keep an eye on zombie ponies on a leash?"

"That would be an unnecessary risk for her, whether the threat comes from the Fellow Traveler or the GRU," he insists.

Also Pipette is right there.

"Miss, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. None of our survival is assured at this point, and as you are specifically qualified to testify, we are dealing with something that defies comprehension. We have these," Brie gestures "Collected thralls of this Traveler, unable to be left to their own devices, but also unable to be left unattended to. We will keep you safe to ourbdying breath (bluff check), can you hold the line for us?" Brie asks, holding up the end of the daisy chain rope.

Brie will attempt a little eye-play with Garv. What he will attempt to communicate through facial gesture and body language is that in that the Traveler likes dominating a geoup, it might behoove to have a group on hand to maybe distract it with.

Finally, Brie will take a long, deep breathe before turning to Silver.
"I really don't line the idea of spending any time on this thing, but you may be correct, and it may be the thing that gives us an edge. Fuck me," Brie paces nervously. You've never seen him do that. "Fine. I dont like it, but I'd rather have a hugeton explosive and not need it, than need a hugeton explosive and not have it," Brie says, returning command to Silver

Cavaliere narrows his eyes with a side glance.

He turns back to the mare. "Miss, you might be partly responsible for this situation, but that's not our concern at the moment. Even if it threatens our chances of getting off this island alive, we will do our best to keep you and the prisoners safe, because that is our duty."

The griffon gives the mare his derringer and ten rounds of ammunition. He discreetly points to her, points to his eyes, and points at Brie.

Staring at the torpedo, Brie has a moment of reflection. He thinks about where he ginds himself, the situation he's in what with the Traveler and all this madness. He thinks about these ponies and griffon he is cavorting with. So much of this seems off to him. But he banishes such thoughts from his mind, pulls off his mask so he can breathe better, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath.
"Centipede," he mutters, before he starts going to town. His last interactive moment will be for him to not even bother to address anypony, but simply to call out: "I trust I dont need to emphasize how important it is that I'm not disturbed?"
