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 similarly takes the offered vial and drinks its contents greedily.

Posey reiterates that Even mind controlled subjects retain some of their emotions - in this case, a fear of being constricted by a large snake.

Smiling at the snakepony, he answers, "Let's get this marine tied up for now. Silver, go talk to the survivors and make sure they're alright. Mala and Brie, keep watch along the perimeter."

He undertakes several actions. First, he ties up the last prisoner I do want to know how much rope it takes. I'd guess 5 feet per pony if we're generous, and of course blinds and deafens him. Second, he goes to the party's rear to bring up the veritable entourage they have now of griffons and captured ponies (who would have to be hauled since they are unconscious and/or tied up) into the village's perimeter. Finally, he returns to his hiding spot and folds up the camouflage net to pack away to be used again.

Silver: "Hmmmmm...okay, this might be longshot, but...could we use that as way to free him from Traveler's influence? He is still there inside, he is even able to act on his own outside of Traveler's commands. He just needs to summon his own inner will to fight it off."

Kira's wound heals itself very quickly thanks to the potion. While she's still hurt, she looks to be in much better shape now that she no longer has an entire chunk missing out of her.

Mala whimpers. He is not only bleeding, but still has a quill stuck in his flesh

>>185151
"Okay..." Mala answers.

Cavaliere succeeds in tying up the prisoner. He still moves about but can be blinded and partly deafened.

>>185152
Posey would definitely try to see if the application of enough fear effects causes the mind control to fail.

Unless it says in some book somewhere that fear effects don't do that, then she wouldn't

Silver goes over to his poor injured friend. He gives him some pets.

Silver: "Here, let me see if I can not help you with that. I need you to stay still while I try to heal you, okay?"

I do think it would be a valid experiment to see if we can stir the pony's will to fight off the Traveler's influence.

Depending on the gauge, it only takes 2-3'of rope to bind somepony, and if in a daisy chain, however much length between them

What a great idea!
Suddenly overcome with a ravenous sensation of greed, Brie will search around for valuables searching first for traps and hazards Including traps that are traps but are not yet traps So something involving an explosive charge or.payload would qualify before then looking for valuables Cuz commies have valuables,...

Brie can see that there are three or four ponies inside of the central ruined house, and there is a piece of bright, reflective metal lying on the ground 30 feet away from the house, to the right of where the party came from

Silver goes into the house, presumably, to see that there is a pegasus stallion with a royal purple coat and black mane, a unicorn with a mulberry coat and white mane, both wounded but conscious, a tan earth pony lying down with a brown mane, and then a mint green pegasus with a yellow mane sitting back against the wall, head slumped down and in a pool of blood. There is a radio in the room, and bullet marks on the walls. The unicorn wears a hat or headdress made out of kitchen wrapping.

>>185179
It's twelve inches across, has ripples, and honestly kind of looks like metallic foil.

The sound of the supressed gunshot piercing the fluid trap - something Ive been waiting this entire time to describe - sounds much more like a very loud clapping of hooves than gunfire. Despite this, Brie can be seen to wince even though the sound suppression and (for those who recall/noticed) his ear protection.

Flashback: part 1

During the walk there, the thought of potentially meeting Hope's again spikes Vir's nerves. A memory comes to mind.

She's panting and her breath has created a wet patch on the floor. Just one more, she thinks and lowers herself down to the floor on her front hooves while her back legs remain up on her bed. She stops there and feel the wetness of the patch on her cheek. Then, she slowly, on shaky hooves, push herself back up. After a snail has travel to Fillydephia and back she reaches the apex of her push, only to immidately collapse and fall down on the floor.

"Owie," her lanky filly self says as she hits her head against the floor. She rubs her snout off the pain.

She lay strewn about on the floor. Her eyes were shut as she panted away; her chest expanding and depleting over and over again.

"You know it's dangerous to leave yourself open like this," a filly voice whispered into her ear.

She glanced back and saw a brown-red filly pegasus with a mischievous grin on her face. Then she felt the barest of touches on her toned belly. Her eye darted down. A pair of wings with their feathers aimed down towards her exposed stomach like the two large hands of a boogeyman, though she wondered what a man was lmao.

She gasped and her face contorted into one of fear. Her gazed moved over to the filly. The filly's ends of her lips zigzagged away over her cheeks.

"Tickle tickle tickle," the filly said as she pounced with her feathery appendages.

Vir curled in on herself; moving her hooves to cover her abdomen but in doing so, she leaves her neck unguarded and the pegasus filly is quick to switch target.
