The rear portions of the SSRS Kostroma have been cleared. The Boiler room draws near. Still that sound persists. Calling them.

Posey is the first to take the light, lighting a handkerchief soaked in kerosene and tossing it into the boiler, as a flow of the lighter heating oil is turned on.

Zara Zama makes a high piched... sound and claps her hooves together, sitting on the floor and smiling as the rising orange fire illuminates her black and grey muzzle and oil-tinged tan jacket

squeaky
Silver can feel that underneath that thick jacket there is indeed an equine there - a bit larger and more muscular than he's used to hugging, but certainly smaller than a griffin.
"Well..." She turns her eyes to Silver's head if she cannot quite turn her own. "The water will start to boil... Maybe I should have made sure the water supply is still good... Uh, well the engine will take some time to work, but the electrical system is separate. It doesn't need nearly as much steam."

Silver looks over at the griffon, and nods. "If we just rushed right now against Traveler, we would be in trouble. There are still many unaccounted for sailors and pirates, some of whom are very important like Kostroma's captain. Our resident lamia also seems to believe she has plan to help them." Kira nods along in agreement.

Alright, so the boiler is lit. Now we just wait for the electricity to turn on.

Actually,no, we should leave now
>>195288
"Yes, we must leave immediately. The enemy will know we are marching against them as soon as the lights turn on, and they will surely begin taking countermeasures once that happens. We must hustle to close distance between them before they respond." Posey says
"Onwards!" she says, trotting out of the boiler room to leave the cargo hold
>>195289
"Our priority is to locate and eliminate Light Water now, before he moves or escapes. Once the leader is eliminated, the remaining ranks will be in disarray." she says, still walking
"I will go to the main deck to contact my servant. I can use it to distract light water by slamming the control tower, and stalking the skies above it crush him if he tries to flee. Since Monstro is mindless, the Intruder will not be able to determine its exact position, which will cause it to lash out at random. The rest of us can enter the lair to face him directly, and once I am within range to reach him with my spells I will try my best to incapacitate him and conjure more mindless servants in the midst of the assault to grapple the hippogriff." she continues
She swishes her tail
"Giddy up!"

Cavaliere grabs her tail to stop her from trotting out the room just yet.
"Not before we have a semblance of a plan, and a minute or two won't kill us. As for your idea, Light Water is important, but he's not the leader. That is down here with us, and is far closer assuming the hold entrances aren't barred. By your admission, you are better acquainted with such entities than the rest of us, and splitting you off while the rest of us cope against it is foolhardy."

You dare touch Rosey Ring's silky, elegant, lustrous tail, without permission?! You are playing with fire.
Make your attack roll...

Cavaliere is well-acquainted with ponies' natural weapons and jumps out of the way, while keeping a grip on her tail.
"Miss Ring, calm down and stay put. You're only wasting more time," he says sternly.

Are you seriously still touching it?

He tries to.
Opposed grapple:
[1d20+4 = (14+4) = 18]
Cavaliere again sidesteps her wildly flailing hooves. The pretty mare throwing a tantrum and ineffectually bucking into the air would be an amusing sight were it not for the circumstances. Or, for that matter, if she had not proven herself to be otherwise legitimately dangerous.
"I won't let you go until we can trust you won't run off blindly into danger!" he responds forcefully.

Not only does he keep a hold on her (presumably coiffed) tail, but she can feel an extra hard tug on it for effect. If she wasn't undead or minded pain, it would actually hurt a bit.

You could never understand the lengths that Posey goes to get her tail looking this good postmortem, or how livid it makes her that you would touch it.

Kira tilts her head at the griffon. "Um...do you need help with her? I'm pretty good at holding others still."

Cavaliere is not perturbed by the angry mare, who's now trying to bend her neck around to bite, but he keeps away from her dangerous bits. Evidently this isn't his first rodeo.
"Lady, I'm doing this for your own sake! I'll let you go only if you calm down!"
>>195310
He nods quickly at her.

Silver nods knowingly, being very experienced with griffon females, himself.
Kira goes over to transfer the struggling mare into her care.
Improved Grapple: [1d20+13 = (17+13) = 30]

Should I be making diplomacy rolls against Posey? I haven't been because I believe they don't count against PCs.
Once Kira has Posey secured, he finally lets go of her tail.

Posey in Cavaliere’s grasp, 1013. Colorized

Posey suddenly ceases struggling and her eyes grow cold. Her tail grows cold. The air around her grow cold.
"Final warni-"
But she is cut off by the giant snake who was very clearly warned never to grab her again.
>>195312
"I TOLD YOU THAT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME YOU GRABBED ME KIRA!"
Attack of opportunity (touch)
[1d20+5 = (18+5) = 23]
[1d8+2 = (7+2) = 9]
Opposed grapple
[1d20+5 = (12+5) = 17]
The temperature continues to drop, and Posey's horn begins to glow. Crimson sparks begin to coalesce around her, the floor beneath her behind to shake, as her body floods with entropy before she releases it in a massive shockwave.
All creatures within reach roll will saves for half damage
[7d4 = 17]

I don't think we want to go there. The bucking was fun but not too much damage was risked there. This will actually grief our entire party.

Improved Grab only applies after natural melee weapon attacks, not regular grapples. You are confusing the monster ability with the feat (improved grapple).
You are booped :p
I g2g back to work now. Posey busies herself with combing her tail.

Cavaliere was already grappling her so, unless if I'm mistaken, there was no attack of opportunity against Kira. But let's say Kira lets her go once she's calmed down.
Cavaliere frowns at the vulnerable mare. She may, if it is possible for her to do so, detect a look of sympathy in his eyes. "Under normal circumstances I wouldn't touch you without permission, but these aren't normal circumstances. If you had run off you could've thrown your own life away and endangered ours as well, so I had no other choice. Now that we're here, let's agree on a plan of action before we do anything else."
Good luck with work! Let's continue tonight if possible.

Posey receives judgmental stares from Zara, Starfire, Blackheel (who has his revolver out), Rustling Pine, Stained Sand who interjects “what in the fuck is going on?” and Partial View. Mala cringes.

Kira does actually have Improved Grapple, which avoids attacks of opportunity. In addition, Posey was already being grappled, so she wouldn't have gotten one on Kira anyways. Yes I know it's a minor thing, but still...
Anyways, the cinnamon roll does let go now that Posey has calmed down. She waves sheepishly to the onlookers, and Silver just shrugs. "This situation just has us all worked up and on edge."

Posey continues to sniffle
"I.. I think I can recover from it, but just look at my tail!" she says, waving her wounded locks
"Can you imagine that? A raptor just descending from the darkness and grabbing a little lady from behind like that?"
She bats her eyelashes and puffs her cheeks slightly before dramatically leaning over chest and sobbing silently
