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.

Then Posey could run across the entire diameter of the island in 15 minutes.
There's a pillar-shaped mountain in the middle of it that indicates where the center of the island is, and the setting sun pretty easily indicates where the West is.
Is it really that hard to get back to the whale skeleton?

Weren't we all going back to the Kostroma to kill The Traveller? Posey was going to meet them there after she conjures her minions for the fight.

So, while the party is getting the airmen, could Posey go off to raise her minions for the fight?
The party is moving at Tracking speed, and Posey is running. She should have enough to do her thing before the party is done.
Unless what you're telling me is that you really don't want us to split up the party. Idk then. You seemed cool with this idea the other day.

Posey could also explain what she wants to do in character with the rest of the party. I have zero doubt in my mind that we can work in what she wants to do into our plan in such a way that we can work together to achieve it.

Well I wasn't a super fan of splitting up the party because
1. No means of communication was taken
2. The party has made no plans to meet up
3. No. They have not agreed to attack the Kostroma at any specific time. They aren't even sure how they will get there
4. The main party isn't staying in one place. It's moving around, and even they don't know where they are going to.
5. Visibility, which is good right now, should not be expected to hold
It just sort of felt like it was being done without putting much thought into the extremely basic question of "how do we meet again?" which felt disrespectful
And then I'm not a super fan of splitting the party for the obvious reasons of how it requires more time because it means that now two sets of environments will need to be described, and encounters need to be rebalanced.
These may just be non-issues though.

Aside from cheeky banter, Brie is all business. Lacey is as well, but she's far more flirtatious/seductive/glamorous. 100% decent at all times, the only ponies who knows she wears white cotton panties are the adversaries she has fought, performing sort of acrobatic kick/stunt. And one bat in particular knows that in spite of her otherwise diplomatic/negotiator proclivity, she gets very aroused when she's fighting, not unlike Ms. Oonnatop from Goldeneye

Brie's mask perpetually hiding his expression, one can nonetheless tell by his tone of voice that Brie is quite resolved to finish the business of the airship/marines so that they can get to the personal matter of the Traveler, unnerved though he is by the idea of what it even is.

Kira blushes at the bat's compliment. "Well, I'm not sure I'd call it 'struggle snuggling' per se, that's more like what Posey tried to do earlier...anyways, I've got quite the knack for being super stealthy! Slithering sneakily through the tall grass, or waiting silently in a tree's branches ready to pounce. Lately I've had to use my extra sneaky abilities to hide my tail when talking with ponies, you know, to keep them from freaking out."

Brie thinks for a moment. If you arent asking permission/consent, what do you call it other than struggle-snuggling?
Its like the term 'molest' which literally and historically meant to "annoy", and it's only in the last 40 years that it was adopted to assume a connotation pf sexual transgression.
But Brie digressess, even in his interior monologues.
"Very well. If by your scent you can determine when we are nearing the marines, let out a whistle. I will attempt to shadow you until then. I prefer the overhead vantage, but our adversaries and the situation entirely has defied my expectations on several occasions, and I'm feeling far more inclined to err on the side of caution.
What Brie is suggesting is, when we're nearing a threat range, is a window-wiper pattern, where he sneaky sneaks back and forth anywhere 5rom 5-20 in front of Kira. Its not something I really care about, I'm just trying to draw engagement to the thread XD

In front of, and to the left of the party, is a large hill, the hill that was in front of them when they first came to the island, in the southwest of the island, though surely a small string of hilly islands and sea stacks continues further south, the great "mended horn." Over a thousand feet tall, presumably, and covered in still-green grass with frequent patches of bare rocks, it extends upwards into a low level-cloud that has come in from the south, so that while where the party is, as well as much of the base of the hill is more or less clear, the summit of the hill is densely foggy.
Looking over, there is a small, irregular rut exposing clay and rock, which though still leaving a mark in the hillside, has since grown partly over. It runs around the edge of a smashed and shattered low-stone wall, ending in a small stone hut at the base of the hill which has collapsed on the side facing away from the party.
Past this and up the hill is the smell. The smell of pony that Kira smells caried on the southern, salty wind.

He takes Dark Star's hoof. At first, Dark Star thinks that it may be a weak hoof shake, with a lack of a grip and a motion up and down that is just a bit too far. But then he increases the grip and the speed, and if anything it is too firm.
"Bring 'em in. I can get 'em bussin soon. We just lost one last week to the truck loading bay. Hard to keep a stallion. But mares? They won't be quick to move 'em to manual labor. Sides, it would be nice to have some more mares around here."

The tear in the clay - it cannot properly be identified as a rivulet, as it is more of a small gash - continues upwards on the hill.

Kira wonders to herself if this is what it's like to be a pegasus. Then she wonders to herself, if a pegasus tried walking up this hill, would they get stuck in the middle of the cloud? Can they decide when and where they walk on clouds? If so, is that a natural ability, or is it something they have to learn from they're a foal? If that's the case, how many pegasus foals are lost per year due to falling through clouds? That's a sad thought...maybe she should move on from that.
Risking breaking stealth, Kira calls out cautiously into the void. "Um...hello?"

The gash in the ground deepens, with one, two, three, four series of gashes with sometimes another one on either side, and then a massive drag in the center. The growing grass has covered this in several areas, but the outline can still be seen. And then going further up the slope, there is no disturbance. Just grass. But then a few silver objects. And then after only a few feet, the gash resumes.
Looking at the party is a large triangular shaped... something. Almost 10 feet up in the air is a solid section with a glass windshield still intact, and what seems to be the barrels of guns. To each side and protruding 15 feet are large, thin, horizontal metal fins. Above this, looming a full 30 feet above ground is a thin, metal fin. All is painted a kind of sky blue, except on the bottom, which is painted white, almost like the color scheme of a whale. Moving to the side and walking past, this is easily enough identified as the empennage of a massive airplane, albeit one that is much larger than anyone is the party has seen before, at least up close. On the vertical stabilizer is the black painted sign of a pair of horseshoes opposed to each other, and the letters "MP48". A rear door, which is now five or so feet above the ground, is not simply open, but missing.
Ahead, the looming form of two engines under the left wing, and a left wing that rides high on the fuselage, can be seen. The propellers on the engine closest to the fuselage are bent and entirely missing on the one further away. Panels on the inner engine are burned or missing. The right wing is intact if a little lower from the tilt of the plane, with two more engines and mostly missing propellers. The whole structure of the plane tilts to the right, with the end of the left wing higher in the air. It has made an indentation in the dirt but is on the whole very intact.
Moving past the large wing, another door by the cockpit is open and missing. Past this, a large, blue nose section with a turret on the fore.

Woah. Kira wonders to herself what happened to this plane. She recalls the symbol of the two horseshoes, figuring it to be a New Marelander plane. What happened to it? It looks like it was made for war.
She flicks her tongue in the air to get more of the scent of pony. Did she really smell them here? How old is the scent?

Kira slithers up to the crashed plane. She gives Hazel some comforting pets. "It's okay Hazel, it's a dead beast. It can't hurt anyone." Using her powerful tail, she lifts her pony half up towards the doorless door, calling into the plane's fuselage. "Uh, hello? Is anyone in here?"

Looking inside is the exposed skeletal ribs of the plane. There are some wires, what seems to have been a desk for something like a navigator, and hooks on the walls that probably held something. It isn't possible to see very much of the interior without trying to climb into it. This is doable, but with some vulnerability. There is no response.

Brie advances slowly and carefully (afaik, that 33 stealth check is still in effect), deliberately focusing his attention away from Silver literally giving their position/presence away. Fucking do-gooders.
And if he wasnt masked and his face could be seen, Brie will smirk after a particular thought, and switch to the camera
Hopefully Brie has sufficient distance from these loudmouthed idiots to take tactical advantage when something inevitably jumps out at them
In this fog a move silently check is more relevant than a sneak check. Moving silently means a reduction in speed so I will not take it or we might not be able to see who it is.

Hey look, my bonus to climb checks is actually relevant. I'm glad I came here.
"I think I can climb it, let me try."
Posey removes her armor, and places her front hooves firmly on the side of the vehicle, and rather uncannily begins to walk up the side of the vehicle.

Meanwhile, back in Trottingham.
A curious sight greets the assembled travelers gathered at the Trottingham airport. As the various ponies mill about wating for their respective transports, an inordinately large fly carrying a brilliantly red-maned cow flies up to the main building before landing near the door. The cow, her expression blank and her eyes covered by thick dark sunglasses, betrays nothing and displays a degree of nonchalance as she dismounts the fly.
<Uatchit
She says, causing the fly to reduce in a spectacle of sparkling magical effect to a small gold and jewel encrusted pin resembling a fuzzy little bumble-bee pinned to her worn and tattered duster coat. On her hip is a goddamn hand cannon, and she walks into the travel office.
<Ah'm needin'a map. Ahm lookin'fer info 'bout Mended Horn.

Much could be said about the interior of the aircraft, but a brief look inside shows the following:
The doorway entering into the plane shows signs of broken aluminum, where the door was ripped off by violence. In the fore of the aircraft and to the left, a broken windshield, a yoke propped up by a stick with pilot and copilot's seat in the cockpit. This is not the forward most part of the aircraft, as a hole infront of the two seats goes down into the glass nose of the aircraft, though exactly what is down there cannot be seen. Behind this, a radio operator's station, with a hole leading downwards into another crevice in the plane. Behind this, the flight engineer's lonely seat and a wall of instruments and valves, as well as the door where Posey entered. There is a small ladder going up to a glass dome in the roof. The floor is aluminum with a somewhat rough texture to allow for a decent grip even when wet, and the interior often shows a sort of aluminum rib cage, complete with holes to lighten the weight, like looking inside of the skeleton of a giant, aluminum bird. The paint scheme so strictly adhered to on the exterior is not abided by on the interior.
To the right is a wall with a small corridor in the center that runs through the bomb bay. This hollow belly of the beast is mostly empty, and extends down to the bottom of the aircraft, unlike the rooms before, where Posey was on a kind of "second floor." The little walkway is suspended through the middle of the bomb bay, with railings, but otherwise open to either side. At the bottom, both doors are open, with one door open, clearly crumpled, and hanging on by a hinge, and the other simply sheered off. Posey can see through to bare dirt. On either side are silvery railings. The lone occupant of the bomb bay is a torpedo, 21 feet in length and nearly two feet wide on the left side railing, at an awkward angle as if stuck. It is painted yellow at the head and aquamarine along the remainder, and looks rather heavy.
Past this, the plane opens up again to a room before the epenage containing two glass nacelles, one on either side, for gun turrets, behind this is a pair of open doorways with... Hello. That doesn't look like aluminum. That looks like hair. Blue hair, sticking out of what must be the left rear doorway. Like a tail.
Past this is a doorway leading into the empennage, presumably to a rear turret.
>>186689
Brie can hear the sounds of the ocean-wind past his ears, almost obnoxiously. Off in the distance - the far distance - the sound of a wave crashing, and a seabird cawing, one of the few animal sounds heard on this oddly silent island. Above this, above all of this, is that ever present "eeeeeee" of tinitus. Brie doesn't recall having tinitus, at least not like this. It is paired with another sound that is equally obnoxious. A sound kind of like what is produced by a conch shell, or like being under water. Many sounds all at once that are muffled. But that isn't what Brie is interested in. He can hear his confederates call out for creatures. He can hear a "clop clop" of hooves against metal as Posey climbs, almost uncannily, into the aircraft.
But more importantly, that sound of hooves against a relatively soft ground. Heading away from the aircraft. To the left. Just past the wing, on this side of the aircraft. It would be easy to say that Brie cannot see it because of the fog, which would obscure any pony or creature at a distance. But that can't be. Brie can tell that the source of the sound is fairly close, and he's looking that direction, though admittedly a portion of the wing obscures it. Surely, whatever made that sound should be visible to him, and he isn't seeing it.
Inside of the aircraft and on the opposite side of the aircraft from where the party is, a tapping, a crumpling sound, and a sound of something hitting the ground.

Hmmm...Kira thinks to herself, recalling what Hazel said earlier, about feeling "static" when something bad is about to happen. Can Kira detect any kind of static-y feeling?

There is no more static than normal, and the radio has been mostly silent.
Kira can see that the tail is attached to a butt. A periwinkle (light grey-blue) butt, with something like a... beaker? Cutie mark. And in front of that, is a mare in a coat that looks back, wearing corrective lenses, a foil cap with a tied but still messy blue mane flowing out from under it, and wearing rubber shoes with a white coat. She looks frightened. Her front hooves are on the ground, while her rear hooves are still on the aluminum floor of the aircraft. She turns around and tries to move. Theprey friend is getting away!

Kira: "Um...I can't actually speak your language. Or understand what you're saying." Kira takes the end of her tail, and rubs it between her hooves awkwardly. "Do you speak Ponish? I know it's probably a longshot. Or maybe not, since Silver speaks both Ponish and Severyanan."

Kira: "Oh, you do! Yay!" Kira releases her tail, and claps her hooves together happily while closing her eyes. Opening them again, she addresses the mare. "I'm Kira. What's your name?"

"Jumping at shadows, then?" Cavaliere shakes his head disapprovingly. "It seems like fear has already gotten to you." He circles around to the empty spot being targeted, carefully inspecting the area.

That may not have been the best idea. Im open to Brie relenting on principle, before firing the shots, but he thinks there may be sometjing there, and Silver isnt gonna dissuade

Reminder, Brie and Garv ran off after one po t, after which a rock and the ground turned into octopi.

That's fair, Silver's not trying to convince Brie that there's nothing there, he's just trying to convince him that shooting at something when they don't even know what it is they're shooting at is a bad idea.

"Congratulations, miss, you are being rescued."
She stares directly into her soul

After charming her, she asks questions
"Who are you? Where is the rest of your crew?"
She gestures to the torn doors

A discrrnable edge is growing in Brie's voice "My good Griffon. As one who is no stranger to a firing range, are you concerned that I put a few rounds downrange? Are you concerned that I wasnt attentive to what I was firing at? Did you forget when the octopi literally materialized out of nothing seemingly?" Nrie waves his hoof as though to emphasoze that Garv, and Rosie, and whoever wants to say something smart, will be disregarded (and contemplated to be shot).

She stands up and turns around, lowering her head to look back into the doorway, which otherwise would obscure her head. Posey and Kira are inside of the plane, which tilts downwards to its starboard side, towards the mare. Kira has presumably entered from the rear door near the rear side turret nacelles between the bomb bay in the center of the fuselage and the empennage, and thus is the first to see the mare.
The moves just a step back at Kira's words
"I-" Her voice is heavily accented. "Who are you if you speak Ponish?"
She sees Posey, then closes her eyes harshly as if she has a headache, shaking her head.
"Where did you come from?" She asks, briefly taking a moment to look behind her.

"We came from off the island, from the formerly Equestrian mainland" Posey says
"Who are you, and where is the rest of your crew?" She repeats
As she looks about the cavern, her expression changes to slight concern (which is in reality concern for her paycheck)
".... Did they... Leave you for dead?"
Are there any blood splatters in the vehicle?

Kira: "Well, I'm a lamia. I know you probably haven't heard of us, I've only met a couple of ponies so far who have any idea what I am. One them is right here next to me, actually! I promise you though, I'm not some demon or monster that this stinky Traveler guy summoned. I'm from Zebrica, originally. Me and my friends heard the distress call your leader, I think he's called a Commissar, made over the radio and we decided to try to help."

Oh yeah, I have no idea of telling if the mare is successfully charmed, but I can make an opposed Charisma check to compel her to answer my questions if she is charmed, so here goes

"What are you looking at? Was there something there?"
She squints into the dark (she has darkvision)
"What is your name? Are you one of the Airponies who mared this ship?"
Not waiting for a reply, Posey continues
"It is likely that your crewmates have been enthralled by the monster that resides on this island. Captain Shoal Waters hired us to retrieve you, and destroy sensitive equipment." she declares
"We are going to torch this ship, so gather anything valuable from it before you come with us. If it is too much to carry, just place it on the disk." she says, gesturing to the floating disk.

Kira leans over, and whispers in Posey's ear. "Uh, Posey? I think she's from the Kostroma. Also, this is a crashed airplane, not an airship."
>>186770
Kira then nods at the mare. "Yeah, but we don't know where he is though. We found some of your friends holed up in an abandoned village being attacked by some Abomination. They should be just outside with the rest of our group. They have the same kind of funny foil hat that you have!"

It's not a matter of darkness. The mare is outside of the plane and Posey is inside and above her. Where the Mare is has light. Posey can't see very effectively behind the mare because of the angle of the plane's tilt meaning that the doorway and the ceiling are in the way of Posey's field of view.
"I, uh, no?" She looks back towards Posey with her red wine eyes. I do not know this 'Shoal Water'. Monster? The uh, the same monsters, or are there more?" She tilts her head. "Torch this aeroplane? Why? Uh. Okay..."
>>186772
"Oh, yes yes. Have you seen Black Heel?"

Kira shakes her head sadly. "Just some soldiers who were with him. I don't know if they know what happened to him. One of the possessed ponies we managed to capture looked a bit like an officer, though. Maybe that's him? I don't know how many officer-like ponies were with you guys on the ship."
>>186773
Kira smelled the scent of pony, but it looks like the scent was from this mare.

Posey would basically have to cross the width of the fuselage (not very far at all) and exit the vehicle on the opposite side she entered. None of it is hard but it means leaving the vehicle.

"You have captured possessed ponies? Uh, Black heel is near the edge with a small group, he was looking for the rescue party. You are not them, are you?"

A combination of reading the past 200 posts at either 11:00PM, or 7:00 AM.
Posey realizes that this isn't one of the ponies that she's looking for, and decides to search/loot the cabin, starting with the area that the mare was staring at.
"What tore off these doors?" She asks
>You are not them, are you?
"We are... Oh, what is the politically correct term these days? Swashbuckling treasure hunters? I still prefer to say dread pirates."

Kira: "Oh, that's good! I didn't catch all that was said because it was in Severyanan, but from what Silver said after it sounds like his distress call was picked up by some group called the Defense Intelligence Agency, but then their acronym is 'GRU' apparently which doesn't make any sense since none of those letters are in 'Defense Intelligence Agency'. Anyways, apparently they're here to kill everyone on the island and take that thing you guys had on the Kostroma back to the mainland."
