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."

"Very well."
She turns to the group
"It looks like we are on the wrong side of the island. We should hurry up to the airship."

Kira: "Well, I don't know. I mean, anything can be killed, I suppose, or at least I haven't ever heard of anything outside of gods being invulnerable. Silver's more of the leader and plan maker in the group, so I imagine he would know better. You should talk to him, tell him what you know, ask him to help with finding the Commissar."

We found a downed airship. Not the one we're looking for though. There is one communist left in the airship. She speaks English.

Kira tilts her head. "But if gods aren't real, how did the world come to exist?"
Silver, after waiting on hearing something from Kira or Posey, trots up to the plane and calls out into it. "Is everything okay in there?"

Reeeee don't listen to Posey! It's not an airship. It's a four engine, fixed wing maritime patrol bomber. Basically a PB4Y-Privateer. See the description in >>186704 and >>186618.
>>186782
Looking through, Posey can see that there are marked spots on the wall for parachutes, two rafts, and what was labelled as a "survival kit..." all missing, evidently previously removed. There are a couple smaller tools, like a screw driver. A hatchet is still present. A cabinet with food seems to have that removed. There is one medical kit still present. The plane itself seems to be pretty well intact, though according to the gauges, the fuel and the engine oil has drained out. The radios likely work but with the source of power dead, and it seems that someone had attempted to modify the wiring on the radio system to accept an alternate electrical input. There is still a torpedo there, and multiple heavy machine guns. A nautical map has been left behind, as well as one sextant.

Brie hears the sound of the wind moving past his ears. And that ever-present tinnitus... And that muffled sound? It would be easy to say the tinnitus is from earlier loud sounds, and that the muffling sound is from the wind moving past his hearing protection. But Brie knows better than that. This is new. And that muffled sound... is that the wind, or so many thousands of whispers all placed together?
The island is fucking with him.

"Heh. The world has always existed. There is no 'coming to exist'"
Kira is subjected to this until Silver arrives

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?"

It would also have to be removed from the turret to be taken. Not impossible by any means, but not without effort

"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?"
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.

Also, these steps need not be in order. The air ponies should come first though.

"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."

Every addition pair of hooves will help, and we'll need all the help we can get. The Commissar is also the most knowledgeable pony on the island both about the Kostroma and the communist forces. As for the order, the Airponies are by far the most distant of the three targets prior to the Kostroma. They should be last if we want to avoid wasting valuable daylight backtracking across the island.

"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."
>>186898
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.

>>186901

She pauses
"Really, the one class of creatures I do not have a reliable spell for is golems... Constructs are so difficult to destroy, and are not nearly as easy to control as the undead. I have not seen very many golems lately though."

Kira perks up a bit at the topic of discussion. "Oh, what about using a spell to dispel magic in order to kill a golem! Aren't they animated using magic? If you dispelled the magic keeping them together, wouldn't they just fall apart?"

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.
Posey pauses to consider her plan
"If it is either undead or a construct, I should know when I see it. Until then, I remain confident in my entropy-based attacks."

He already explained his idea: the party is going to pair it with a remote detonator and detonate it from inside the Traveler.

Silver: "It is far better safe than sorry to have it. Besides, I thought you liked explosives."
>>186961
Silver: "It will still take us time to travel to airponies regardless. Best we tackle these objectives in most efficient way possible to cover as much ground in as little time as we can."

"I much more prefer to not spend whatever amount of time relegating myself from everything else going on. You're asking me to step out of gameplay, I'm saying give me a good reason," Brie replies, not even bothering to thinly veil the 4th wall break

Silver: "Gameplay? Anyways, look, it would be of tremendous help to us, especially if we end up having to use explosive charges we have before we face off against Traveler. If we need it, then good, if it turns out we do not, then you get to keep warhead for yourself."

"That seems a bridge we can cross after we tend to the marines and the airship," Brie is near growling

We would have to come back for Brie and the explosive regardless. The airship is the one confidential aspect of our mission and letting a Stalliongrad scientist near it is inadvisable.

How do you want to do this? Do you want me to explain why "no" in character or out? Cuz right now, Silver is nominating himself for idiot of the year, in Brie's mind.

Let me put this into perspective.
I get that you/Silver thinks that repurposing the torpedo is a good idea. Brie DOESNT.

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

"My plan is to wait until we have a better idea what we're up against, as well as having addressed our primary mission objectives. You knob."

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?"
Brie shrugs, but wastes not a moment.

Brie snaps his hoof to indicate this isnt an idle question

Fine, let's do it. Survival roll to watch out for enemies and to track the marines.
[1d20+11 = (12+11) = 23]

"Ill be the eyes in the sky. If I call out, its cuz surprise or stealth is no longer the priority."
If theres no further questions, Brie will resume his arial vantage, spot checking as he do
>>186968
Fug, I missed this
"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?"

"One of us would have to stay behind to ensure they are kept safe. If you would like, I can do that."

"Pardon me, but I dont agree with leaving ANYpony behind, given the circumstances. If Pipette can monitor the thralls, we can likrly proceed with caution.

"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.

"Ive got a .38 I wont be using for a moment. No serials either!"
"Ive got a .38 I wont be using for a moment. No serials either!"
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?"
