"Nah nah nah, who the fuck are you and why do you sound so foreign?"
Second voice:
"She said who they are. They are mercenaries sent to save us!"
"Then how the hell did they get past the communists and the... the that thing?"

"We were sent to rescue your crew. We evacuated the airship and took the pain to come here. There's no time left. Is your Lieutenant with you?"

Silver: "We ran through hail of bullets. Spetsnaz seems more interesting in that aberration than us. We were hired because we all have different skills that are useful in this type of situation. Though, to be honest it has all gone tits up with that thing they brought on Kostroma..."
Kira calls in over the radio. "I think you guys are okay for the moment, but you should really get out of there before these 'gee are you' guys destroy these monsters."

Hopefully Posey has reached their level by now, sheaving her sword
"I am Rosey Ring, a freelance warmagus. I came all the way from Farbrook to study Equestrian magic, so do excuse my accent." She says, tossing her mane and striking and elegant pose
"The monsters roving this island are summons conjured by an aberrant monstrosity carried by the ship you were trailing, known as The Traveller. It is an otherworldly creature with the ability to conjure minions and take over the minds of ponies." she scoffs a bit at the end
"Although, it is rather crude and unprofessional in its methods. Its monsters were not difficult to evade so far."
She takes a bow, gesturing towards the stairs
"My comrades can explain it in detail." (I have to sleep soon; work tomorrow)
As soon as Posey is in eyeshot, she is going to attempt to charm every creature she sees

"No, I've seen it's tricks-"
"Will you shut the hell up?" a pause, "Get us the hell off this island."
As Posey moves up, she sees a set of golden, slit eyes looking down in that gap between the stairs. Further up, she can see the wooden stock of a rifle, although it's not directed her way.

That doesn't sound like a pony. A griffon maybe?
Pissy continue her approach, but not before using her charm gaze on the creature looking back at her, ever useful for breaking the ice in conversation.

Cavaliere appeals to their reason.
"When that Creature controls an intelligent being, it talks erratically and moves in a clumsy, uncoordinated way. I pose no threat to you, and I would appreciate it if you would let me climb through this window."

As Silver goes up with Posey, he holds up his empty hooves to the gunpony and what must be a bat pony. "We will, but there are complications. Come with us, we need to leave this lighthouse before Spetsnaz units finish dealing with Traveler's creations. Oh, and if you see what looks like pony with snake tail, do not shoot her. She is not from Traveler."

"I see that you have been shooting at the monster's summons. How many have you managed to destroy? We are still unsure of the limits of its powers."

"Get him in!"
Cavaliere briefly sees the end of a rifle poke through the window. The stock moves down and to the left even as the end of the barrel does not move by much, until it turns up and moves out of view back in side. A hoof appears out of the window to take Cavaliere's claw.
Cavaliere presumably accepts, and he is pulled inside to a small chamber beneath the great, lit, rotating mirror. Equipment for the lighting and rotation takes up much of the center of the room. Inside is a white pegasus in green uniform, and next to him is a green unicorn, losely holding onto a Bits pattern submachine gun.
The white pegasus speaks,
"That was a daring move." a pause "How the hell do we get out of here?"
>>191801
High pitched sounds almost like chirps, and then both eyes focus on her. Hooves move in front of the muzzle, which is now likewise in view.
>>191804
"Snake tail what now?"
"Good, get us out."
>>191806
The Green unicorn (Posey is presumably at the top now) answers
"Like... one, maybe? I don't know. They kind of just disappear. I don't know if they die. We only had a few magazines and have had to conserve our ammunition. And these Bolsheviks have not been helpful at all."

Laying on the floor by the stairs, which run just right of, and below the central rotating equipment, is a dark grey bat pony with dark brown wings. He looks up at Silver as he approaches, and moves back. He has bandages along his chest and is obviously wounded. He wears a green uniform besides sections that have been tied up around the belly to make way for bandages.

“Three. There was a fourth who went down to that abandoned dock, but we lost track of him when the activity picked up. We went to this lighthouse hoping there would be a radio here. Instead, these… things started appearing, and the Bolsheviks invaded the island. We just bunkered down here. Day Chaser is wounded. We didn’t.. don’t really have a good way of getting out of here. The Bolsheviks would have taken us already if the… monsters hadn’t started showing up.”
Inside of this area, there is a flash light, multiple medical kits that have been opened, and several flares. Besides these and a water supply, as well as a small inflatable raft, there is not much in this obviously uninhabited lighthouse. The airponies have evidently already gone through it for useable items.

Silver frowns. These two ponies swear they see Silver's eyes flash red for a moment. "You split up again!?"
Heal: With a sigh, Silver goes up to the bat pony, who is evidently Day Chaser, and sees if there's anything he can do about the wound.

This silences the ponies, who each take a half step back, save for Day Chaser, who widens his golden eyes, but does not move.
Day Chaser has a puncture wound in the belly that has been bandaged and hopefully cleaned, a bruise on the ribs that can’t be that bad, given that he’s chosing to lay and put pressure on his chest, and then bad bruising and swelling on his right shoulder that presumably makes it painful to stand. Possibly broken.

>"Like... one, maybe? I don't know. They kind of just disappear. I don't know if they die. We only had a few magazines and have had to conserve our ammunition. And these Bolsheviks have not been helpful at all."
As Posey meets the unicorn, she gives an elaborate pose, a whirl of her cape, and a bow.
"Freelance warmagus Rosey Ring, at your service." she says
"Yes, the monsters are summons, so they vanish when slain. It is quite an inconvenience for us to document our plights against them. I hope you would be willing to testify for us to get a bonus from Captain Waters. Fight off an unlimited army of nameless horrors was not part of our job description."
She continues
"The Bolshevik forced on this island are the GRU: special forces for Stalliongrad. They appear to be acting in service of the vanity of the communist regime; and thus they likely have no intention of letting anypony leave this island alive. So long as their ship is present, they complicated our extraction plans. Fret not though, for I have plans to neutralize it."
"As for our extraction, we have two main options. First, we could use the swan talisman the army provided us to paddle away. This option requires little fighting, but may make us vulnerable to monsters, and may require jettisoning some of the survivors we brought with us on the island. Second, we could commandeer the warship moored on this island, which would first require us to neutralize the monster nested there. Whatever the option, the survival of yourselves and the other airponies is our priority: we are only being paid in full for how many of you we return with alive."
>>191809
"A fourth you say? Well then, we will have to make our way to the docks then." she says
"But first, we will have to neutralize those monsters in the sky." Posey says, drawing her bone bow, net and bolas
"I have fought griffons all my life, I know a few things about grounding aerial targets. It only takes a bit of confidence, and some taunting." she continues
"There is no need for you to fight, for your survival is our priority, but I would appreciate some cover fire."

>>191808
Posey proceeds to search the room, taking 20 (total of 25( to search each square for provisions and magic items as she speaks.
After she's done, she readies her weapons and prepares to fight the flying monsters.
"I have an idea. I will need to squeeze through that window though."

When Cavaliere is pulled in they see a gruff griffon dressed in black wearing a cowboy hat. His bomber jacket and shirt are torn and blood-stained.
"Thank you." He replies, "There is one door, but the windows offer an alternative if you can fly or climb. I have rope with me."
>>191809
He raises an eyebrow. "The abandoned dock with the boat and shacks? We have been there before. Unless you mean a different abandoned dock, there is nothing left there."

Silver starts using a combination of magic and some swift kicks to begin busting a cabinet down. At first it looks like Silver's simply trying to take out his aggression on something, but in fact he's trying to get some sturdy pieces of wood to turn into a makeshift splint for the bat pony, so he can get up and moving.

"We can lower you out the window with the rope. It's facing away from the enemy squad which means they won't notice us, if we move fast and quietly. It's also our best option for getting Day Chaser down out of here."
He helps open the window Posey is stuck in.

crack
The side panel cracks in half, it isn't useful. The top portion and bottom is thicker and does not break off the wall at all. But an exterior piece... works well. It can make a splint.
>>191821
Not that specific window, no. But the design is close enough to symmetrical that this idea is conceivable, which is to say that there is a window on the side opposite of the battle.
"You think that will be enough? They could see us..."
Careful not to accidently shove her out

Silver takes the wood and some strips of cloth (perhaps either torn from one of the soldier's uniforms or from a window curtain if there are any on the windows in the lighthouse) and fashions the splint. He goes up to Day Chaser with the splint in his magical grasp. "This may sting little bit, but I need to get this fashioned tightly around your broken bone so you can move. Understood?"
Also, can Kira use her vantage point outside to help guide the party in the lighthouse to a safe exit?

Silver chuckles, "Well of course it does, breaking your bones is not meant to feel pleasurable after all. I will be as careful as I can." With that, he aligns the wooden pieces of the splint with the fracture, and begins tightening it. It's...definitely painful, but as he tightens it the broken bone is aligned back into a somewhat normal shape. It's still definitely broken and still hurts, but without it moving around and damaging the nearby muscle tissue Day Chaser should be able to limp on it now at least.
Spot: Meanwhile, Kira uses her keen snek vision to try to espy a safe egress point for the party.

Cavaliere was going to pull her out, but it looks like Posey wants to take this in a different direction. We would go out the opposite window (facing away from the enemies).

Okay, so does it seem like most of the ponies are going out the back way, while Posey attacks from another angle?
I suppose I'll wait on Posey for that.
Otherwise, see if you can confirm a plan for the group on how to approach the situation.

Good idea. Posey will be monster bait.
The Traveller's bird things are more likely to be inclined to target her after she btfo'd that other one before.
Rolling Bluff, to be good monster bait.

(If the monsters are already engaged with her, treat this as a bluff check to feint in combat).

Posey may be able to see Kira wave at her.
Silver, meanwhile, helps Day Chaser up onto his hooves. "He should be able to move now. I am not sure it is good idea to risk harm to these ponies by going out front door. Window might be good idea." Looking over at Posey, Silver sees more of her than he perhaps bargained for, making his cheeks blush a deep cherry red as he looks away to help preserve some of her modesty. "Uh...would you like some assistance getting out of window, Posey?"

Down the slope and towards the beach, a large, grey creature with the vague shape of a bat walking across the ground with its wings - if one were 15 feet tall, and lacking any ears, visible nose, fur, or web, leathered wings - opens its mouth-beak and makes a silent roar. Below it, flashes of light open up with a "zing", and behind that, a "Chank chank chank" of lighted green tracers spray in a line towards it.
But above this, a seraph glides fairly silently by the lighthouse. It does not join in that battle, but moves its white eyes towards Posey, turning its six, pseudo-feathered wings in a glide towards her. It opens its beak, and emits a muted scream, with sparks not quite illuminating the interior of its blackened mouth.

Kira can see green lights proceeding in a line towards some great, horrid creature whose forelegs protrude outwards from the body at a 90 degree angle before angling down in fat, psuedo-wing structures, asymmetric with comparatively standard hind legs. And she can see one of the six-winged, hairless, pegasus-griffin hybrids taking notice of Posey in the window and flying towards her.

How far away is the nearest monster from Posey?
How high is the lighthouse, how high is the monster in the air above the lighthouse, and is the monster in the air above the ledge of the cliff?
I need to ask because of tactics and fall damage.

It's in the sky
Posey lets lose an arrow. It hits the creature in the chest, and it opens its mouth to make an unvoiced howl. Or at least it seems to. For once, the sparks in the mouth illuminate the interior, to show a dark grey throat with no visible upper palate.
It glides quickly, and closer, until it is within 30 feet of Posey's position, and it turns its head towards her, mouth alight with sparks.
Touch Attack
[1d20+4 = (17+4) = 21]
Posey is of course flatfooted for purposes of AC
A beam of light springs from its mouth, and briefly in a small cone beneath it, the ground lights up as if it were day, with the hues of brown, yellow, and green in the grass visible in near every blade.
It comes towards Posey as a beam of lightning.

That's a hit. Posey's fluffy white fur stands on end, and she winks and shudders as the electricity tickles her dead nerves.
"Lightning magic...? This is going to be fun! UwU" she says, with a giggle
>Posey is of course flatfooted for purposes of AC
It is to be expected. Posey's main job is to draw fire right now.
>what
The ki technique I've been using for a while now. If it's not flat footed, it doesn't matter.
I'm going to have to drive home from work soon, which means I will be gone for ~30 mins. If my turn passes, Possy will throw her bolas to trip the monster, throwing with a +5 bonus and tripping with a +3 bonus

Kira squints at the creature, thinking it might just be within the optimal range of her bow. She pulls a couple arrows, takes in a deep breath, draws her bow, and as she lets it out she lets both arrows fly in quick successive draws.

Is Silver not getting involved?
If not, Cavaliere will let loose two more shots. Undead or not, Posey probably does not appreciate the noise of gunfire from right over her head. After firing, he taps her on the withers, points to her, and points behind himself. This is in case she can't hear, "Miss, it would be better for you to get behind cover."

I just got home from work.
>How the hell do you trip something in flight?
Throwing a bolas at a flying creature would be the most common way. That's why I brought one, to kill Luminous in case he tried to fly away.
I won't contest your ruling, but I would like to clarify this in the future, since 1/3 humanoid enemies can fly, and almost all of my spells are touch range.

Let's just say that between the fact that this creature is several times the size of a hippogriff or griffin, and it has clearly demonstrated that it can fly stably even with at least one set of wings disabled, Posey does not believe that such a venture is likely to succeed against this particular kind of enemy, at least with only a single successful attack.

Posey's arrow hits the creature's thing belly at an angle, and does not beak through the hide, but partly sticks in, turns downward, and falls out with gravity.
The creature turns in air, banking and rotating in a relatively small circle. When it comes back around, it aims its mouth-beak at Posey again, and lets loose a small bolt of lightning.

"That one actually hurt a little..!" Posey says, biting her lower lip as she shudders like a salted frog on a dissection table
Gives the monster a cocky smile, looking right at the Traveller through its eyes, taunting it.

In the reflection in its eyes, Posey sees... Darkness. But there are lights in the darkness, like so many lit windows in distant houses, shining through in a snow storm
>>191867
As the creature turns in air, Kira lands one shot into its belly, and then another into the central "shoulder" of the second set of wings.
At first, it seems nothing has happened. Nothing seems to have affected it. But all at once, a black tear forms down the center of the creature, and it disintegrates like an ashen pinata, tearing into two, and each side decaying into ash that soon enough scatters in the seaborn wind before it reaches the ground.
It is done

No one can hear it as she isn't currently on the radio. But Kira looks first in astonishment at where the creature once flew and speaks a quiet, "I did it..." before looking down at her bow and repeating it just a bit more loudly, "Heh, I did it!"
Silver notices that the creature is no longer there, and lets out a sigh of relief. "Okay, let us get these ponies out of here before another shows up."

He calls out behind them, "Are you ready to abseil? We need to leave now before this lighthouse is stormed by the soldiers or obliterated by their ship's guns."

Cavaliere gets the rope ready and instructs the others to hold onto the rope. He taps Day Chaser on the shoulder.
"You don't mind if we lower you first, do you?" he asks.
To his companions he remarks, "If they still have door covered, simply walking out may be a bad idea."

Posey uses her horn to help with whatever menial tasks (tying knots, etc) are necessary to get the party moving.
"Hey, watch it!"
With more complaining, Day Chaser is on his way down the side of the lighthouse, on the side opposite the soldiers.

If she falls, she falls
If any soldiers approach the tower, she'll just have to engage them herself.

Silver makes a note of Kira's request, and ushers the rest of the ponies down the stairs to exit from the front. "If we are to be seen regardless of what we do, then it is better to be fast."
