Should it be a pony or human name?
What specieses are on the table? What buffs do they grant?
How does the Wizard spell-memorization work? Should I list every spell I prepare each day?
How do days work?

Good questions. It can be a pony or human (or other) name. I'm open to species (nothing ridiculous, no dragons or w/e, I've learned my lesson on that) and buffs will be respective of the species vs. humans.
Wizard spells are as normal, except not based on a 'days' method, more based on a 'segment/session' basis (meaning, spells can be replenished by resting or devoting time, and if time is unavailable I'll say so). I don't require that you specify spells to memorize (tho I do keep track of what you've cast) as its consistent with wizards to regularly do that when available (desu, the memorization process makes sense but is unnecessarily cumbersome).
Days aren't rigid, we just kinda go with it. There's been only one(two?) incidents of night activity, but I really don't care to be THAT rigid about things. Don't be egregious and it probably won't come up.
There is currently one pony, one minotaur, 2 humans, one other, and one other-other. There's also an orc, but he's more there to kill things if I want them killed and don't want to leverage existing characters.

That depends on what you are planning. If you're going to be around for the ants, it would be best. If you are planning on venturing solo, no, but don't be surprised if you get eaten. This IS supposed to be something of a group effort,....

Tracy decides she's sick of everyone in the pyramid, and decides to explore down the path outside the pyramid, in stealth, this time taking the right path into the other side of the forest.

Don't expect more at first level than "amateur/bad music", but I don't see why not. Music is an easily explained side-interest for a wizard.

Check out the circular walled area first.
Tracy is bored, and she's walking around as she ponder a way to get home and finish her wedding ceremony. Ponies need to walk, or they get crazy.

Outside the wall you find that the walled area sits atop the peak of a decent sized mountain. Toward the back there is a pile of boulders reaching toward the top of the wall, but otherwise there is a sheer cliff face. Below the cliff is a descending plain with intermittent water-channels that leads toward a heavily walled city ringed with turrets (thats to the south). The east and west cliff ends leading to separate(?) large bodies of water, eliminating the possibility of travel (without a boat). The city to the south COULD be reached by climbing, but it would take alot of time and careful progress (meaning, if you were pressed for time, you could end up falling). No threats are present, but you recognize that the south cliff makes for both a significant obstacle as well as a strategic position in the event of invasion or incursion.

The city is pretty nondescript, cannons notwithstanding. Of note is that all the cannons are pointed in the direction of the cliff you're standing on (they're not aiming at you/it, they're just pointed that way, and no I'm not trying to discourage you, there's a story element to it). The city its self appears drab and uniform, lacking any aesthetics.

*narrows eyes at city, enjoying the fresh air*
"Who aims cannons at a mountain..?" she ponders, beginning to wonder about the sadistic beings who brought her to the pyramid in the first place.

As you turn back to the wall, Slag is standing there looking gruff and aloof.
"That city was once on the north face of the cliff. They're idiots, and are not deserving of mercy. I look forward to killing them a second time."

Trumpaladin addresses the party: "I've travelled a great distance to be here tonight. Believe me"
He addresses the ants, and with essentially the same proposition as made in the previous thread, apologizing for the first encounter, and offering the bread loafs. He asks for Sade passage through to the pyramid's inner areas. He now adds peach rings to the offering

For clarification, Lenos' prime motivator is boredom (and the alleviation of). Slag's prime motivator is crushing anything he perceives as an opponent. Thez's prime motivator is getting her goddamn record contract back, and killing those who give her warrant.
This is all undisclosed in character dialogue, but in many RPGs its common to elucidate the NPCs (or GM controlled PCs) disposition.

Torc? I know its late, but,....

Can we at least get a response by the ants to Trump's initial statements?

I totally forgot! As this (pretty much OOC) dialogue commences, a dude in a jumpsuit (not Barry) falls from the sky and >splat< on another part of the pyramid (will provide images).
Strangely, the same fellow falls again on the pyramid with a >splat<,... and again >splat<

Yes of course. The ants at the entrance have no vocal cords, but they applaud and seem quite pleased at your arrival. They seem quite welcoming, and gesture you inside.

Assuming no objection, upon entry you're greeted with the Potato who greets you overly enthusiastically (with a taller ant behind him making the same gestures, as though one is puppeting the other).

Trumpaladin shakes off the Thot, and travels into the hive following the potatoe
"You like the foosball? Swendid!"
He leads you to an open area where there is a small table with rods sticking out of it.
"Not only is this our weweation awea, but this is also how we solve ouw differences!" He intones, most triumphantly.

"Not only is this our weweation awea, but this is also how we solve ouw differences!" He intones, most triumphantly.
On either side of the table are a pair of ants, larger than most you've seen, who clearly are engaged in a vicious struggle (by their estimation). After a few moments, one gestures in triumph, while the other hangs its head. As it does so, another pair of larger ants walk up next to it and decapitate it.
"Too bad, he had so much pwomise. Shall we continue?" says the Potato.

The 'winning' ant nods to the ants around him, clearly thinking you'll be easy to defeat.

The surrounding ants gesture in what would appear to be a cheer, except no noise emits, its just body language.

Other players can declare their moves, but it will occur upon a timeline determined by the initiative roll
Description - combat works a little different in that initiative roll gives "placement" on a scale of action. The initial scale determines a character's ability to act, and from there their actions determine delay. Simple actions take less time and can advance the character's initiative position, or full round actions can maintain them.

I'm assuming you're targeting the ant currently targeting Infernius (cuz as yet, none are apparently hostile)
Boof-boof-boof the other ant falls dead.
"What awe you doing! We thought you wewe pwaying foosball! This is not foosball, this is anawchy!" the Potato cries, and as he does so, the surrounding ants charge forth.
If you were here IRL, I would force you to listen to battle music at this point.
