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.

I won't do it if it's not actually feasible for me to be helpful.
>>186435If she were high in the air, above the fog, couldn't she see the Kostroma?
>>186433>find a specific person in a building once you’re separatedAren't all the locations mentioned in the shore? Couldn't she just follow the shoreline?
>>186437If I remember correctly, the island is three miles across.
>>186444Then 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?
>>186445To get to the station? No. To find the moving party, especially when the sun goes down and the fog returns? Yes.
>>186446>To find the moving party, especially when the sun goes down and the fog returns? Yes.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.
>>186447No. The party is going to rescue the airmen first.
>>186447>>186448Yup, airponies first so we know they're safe and also because they could possibly help us. Also we're gonna blow up the airship's propulsion since we don't know if we'll get the chance to once the Traveler is dead.
>>186448So, 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.
>>186453Are you aware that you're potentially excluding Rosey from most encounters?
At last, after a series of misadventures, I am home
If everypony could remind me of where they are and what they are going to do, both in the Mended Horn group, and Vir and Dark Star.
>>186519pet pet petThe Mended Horn group, following our noodle scout, is traveling towards the likely location of the lost airponies, in the relative area of where they arrived from.
>>186519I wanted Rosey Ring to go off and do Necromancer stuff while the party rescued the Marines, but I think that's still pending approval.
>>186520Yes, following the noodle
>>186521Posey 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.
>>186519Brie is at about 50' elevation, watching for spoopy shit to try and confound the coot noodle
>>186519Cavaliere is alongside the danger noodle.
>>186521Well 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.
[Read more] Really, this
>>186523 is how it should be handled
In character, well-reasoned, and as a democratic decision

>>186339Rolling for deep-throat: [1d20 = 19] Can Vir swallow Dark's dark member into her dark cavern-hole, whole. Dark.>>186412^^
Nuns know all about worship, colty.~
*Snort* What am I writing? Sorry, I'll try to get-it-out-of-my-system. ;3 >>186529I'm sorry. I can't help myself. For some reason that escapes me. I find this hilarious.
Don't mind me, I'm a moron.
>>186529Also, the links to the posts are in the reverse or I noticed. ^^
>>186529Oh my...
Whelp, that's a critical on an expanded-critical range
Now Dark Star's little swimmers can join the amoebas...
Fortunately it doesn't count as losing her virginity, so she doesn't need to go through the trouble of changing her name
>>186339Looking straight at Vir with a strained expression
"Yes..."
[Read more] >>186529>>186530>>186531Vir did nothing wrong, i looked
>>186532>Whelp, that's a critical on an expanded-critical rangeHehe, that's so funny that it became that.
>Now Dark Star's little swimmers can join the amoebas... In the belly of the beast. ^^
>so she doesn't need to go through the trouble of changing her namePhew! Close one.
>Back to realityVir looks at the Bap. She blinks a few times. She inhales a huge breath and then exhales it. She is stunned. She doesn't have words right now.
>>186533^^ Thank you.
[Read more] >>186535Now I want to see a Flaming Star/Dark Flames shipThe bat stares back, at first unblinking, but then finally blinking.
"What was it you wanted concerning a statue at Saint Christopher?"
>>186526I'm not hearing a "no"...>>186523Maybe ask a question before she runs off, and she can answer.
>>186536>Now I want to see a Flaming Star/Dark Flames shipYh, if we're gonna be real
fr bruh famalam, they (romance/no-romance) could be a fun duo, maybe. Honestly, I look forward to meeting other pcs. ^^
Also, nuns are lewd. ^^>Bappity bap bap!Vir shakes her body as she wakes out of her trans.
"I'm looking to get it back. The head I found in the river but I the body wasn't there," Vir says and smacks her mouth in annoyance. "The Anarchist had the statue last. They should know where is. I just nee you to point me to them."
>>186538Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? We'll do so much better as a party if we work together on this. You'll still get to do your cool necromancy thing, I promise.
>>186540>maybe.Don't know why I wrote maybe. I do think they would be a fun duo so... I dun know why I wrote that.
>>186541So say something in-character, before Posey runs away
>"~You'll thank me later!"Is the last thing she said before she got ready to gallop
>>186543>using our own argument against usscrunchSilver: "Wait up moment! Splitting up now is bad idea. Were you not just telling Kira it was bad idea to split up when she wanted to do so to go save airponies? That is why we all are going to save airponies together."
>>186529Per the Book of Erotic Fantasy, sex is a Perform skill, so you should add your charisma, like so
[1d20+6 = (4+6) = 10] >>186544"Splitting forces is unfavorable, but The Traveller has us outnumbered."
She brandishes scroll case
"But I have a plan. I will conjure some allies to help us deal with the Traveller's forces, but it will take me time, so make sure to secure the airponies while I take care of it. Let us both meet at the Kostroma to begin our assault once we are ready."
>>186543>>186547"By running off you are putting the life of that pony in danger," Cavaliere says as he gestures to the bound captive. "What do you have in mind exactly?"
>>186546^^
>>186545^^
Well, "luckily" Vir has no charisma so I don't have to do anything. Nor did she practice sex much at the monastery so no ranks in sexary.
This is why she is a virgin. Not because she is unwilling but because she's so incompetent at it. ^^ >>186547Silver: "Getting to airponies will not take too long, and while I know my distraction will not work forever, I believe it will last long enough for us all to rescue airponies and still travel together with you to summon your allies. It is much safer for you as well, in case you were to be attacked along way."
>>186540She looks down at the paper
"Yes, well as I said, it was a police investigation. They had their theory, their witnesses, and their suspects, and... " She holds it up "We have our ponies. Our net of ponies, as it were." She looks over to Vir as she says that
>>186552Vir nods.
"That... Sounds good," Vir says. "So... As an expert, what would you say I should I do now?"
>>186548>"By running off you are putting the life of that pony in danger,""He is still our enemy, is he not...?" Posey says, with a quizzical expression
>"What do you have in mind exactly?""I am going to consult with the spirits of the northern wind to send us aid, after conjuring my own helper with this scroll from my teacher."
>>186550"I will not take long. This is a risk that I am willing to take."
She paused, her ears drooping a bit nervously
"You really do not need to be there for the summoning..."
I have to sleep, but I have all day tomorrow.
>>186554Sensing her nervousness, Silver smiles warmly at the strange mare, and holds out a hoof as an offer of friendship. "It will be far, far from worst thing we have seen today. We are not going to leave you behind. That is not what friends and allies do."
>>186532>>186529>>186540Kek Dark star is looking forward to meeting virgin flame
>>186519>>186187Dark Star looks at him whispers back
"Of course not, they're two pegasi mares,"
If we're gonna derail the group mission, I have an unresolved dice roll that I could bring up. GM knows the one, it was a 26
>>186560He eases up, and smiles
"Ah, Pegasi mares. I always liked the winged ones. Yeah, I can make space for a couple of runners. And potato peelers. Not easy to have too many of those, when all the other services keep stealing them."
>>186562"Very Good, I'll let them know, when do they begin?"
He shakes his hoof
