"There she goes." Iron said. The gambler had to get up to relay the info Cauldron. As he waits, he decides to drag the mattress near the balcony door to set up his escape.
>>68661What are you waiting for exactly?
Time is not exactly your friend>>68660Dark star follows a little group, who in turn split of into little groups, one of whom seems like an organizer of something
>>68661Well, only option I see is to intimidate the gambler to spill the beans and all. I don't have incriminating evidence of the sort to pin him of illegal gambling.
>>68663Cauldron yells up from the ground. Whispers loudly, anyways
"If he chooses to tell police that he was accosted for money, they'll understand quickly he was doing something to get that debt. Have faith, and get out of there before someone sees you"
>>68664Well, Iron will try squeezing through the window.
>>68665If you are going out the window, and not the balcony, roll for Jump
[1d20+7 = 17]>>68667I was expecting to get stuck on the window for some reasonIron jumps from the window to the crate below.
>>68666Pretty lucky listen. You heard a small list of places communists intend to go to, although starting almost immediately. One in midtown in a hotel, one west in an official's home, one in a manufactury near the docks, and one south in a sugar mill
>>68669Oh he damn near got stuck, but is able to fall and hit the ground with his hind legs before falling on his back
Cauldron: "Now come on"
>>68670*Follows them to the Docks*
>>68674"Now we got to get that wound patched up. Do you think you can continue working tonight?"
>>68673Make a spot check
>>68675Iron nodded, closing the distance between him and Cauldron "I have had worse at my tribe. I can continue with the job."
>>68676Neither Red nor Black appear visible in this group
>>68678Can i head to the official's home?
>>68677She appears impressed, and places a cloth over his wound to cover the bleeding
"I know a place where we can fix this later. Now we still got places to go."
Roll for luck for the rest of the locations
>>68679You can head to any location, just so long as it is one location
>>68681Hmmm
Do you want another encounter, or is it time to wrap it up tonight. Literally in the case of Iron's wound>>68682As you head that direction, a pony asks you how long you've been attending communist meetings
>>68683"i just started. tonight was my first one."
>>68684I see. I take it you were very moved?"
IRL I will stop. Need sleep In-game I just let the zebra wrap me in bandages and continue work. The encounter can wait until midday without a sacrifice in-game, right?
>>68686Kek, sure. I need to sleep as well
>>68685I will try to craft something tomorrow
>>68685"iw was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, its like waking up for the first time."
Bluff
*What Does this pony look like?*
[1d20+6 = 13]>>68540I would like to roll Knowledge (Religion) to see if I recall any useful facts about this "Restorationist" faction, and the central government's attitude towards them.
>>68694Yep, I have got to put more ranks in that skill...
>tfw 13 only Int >>68695Don't sweat it. Your dish CPS is more important.
>>68697Cleans per second, of course
>>68698Ah
Laundry doesn't do itself. All those habits need to be washed every day (which is why most ponies don't wear them).
Unicorns are lucky, they can just cast Prestidigitation to wash their things.
>>68695But on that note, Int is a pretty god-tier stat for any class with more than 2 skills. It's basically your IQ stat, and determines how versitile your character is going forward.
My previous characters have been a Rogue, a Bard, and a high-Int Artificer, so i:'ve never been wanting skillpoints before.
I guess it's not my Niche though; I'll just put all my points into class-specific skills like knowledge (religion), Spellcraft and Heal, and let the rest of the party handle the intensive skillwork (once we meet up).
It's nice that Driuds get 4 skillpoints per level though, although they don't get Knowledge (Arcana) like Clerics do.
[1d20 = 8]>>68688Hmmm....
She's an Earth pony of a kind of light lavender color, with a yellowish mane you could call "blonde."
>>68694The Restorationist faction is ponies of a more or less conservative bend who want to go back to the status quo ante bellum, where Equestria was an independent nation under alicorn rule. Basically the essence of the doctrine is the restoration of the Diarchy. The Central Government, for it's part has claimed to be entering negotiations for a release of the princesses from their captivity. The government has strongly condemned all instability caused by restorationists, and has generally snubbed restorationists in favor of Black Hooves affiliates when it comes to appointments for offices in the autonomous regions
[Read more] >>68701Hmmmmm, I have a hunch that the central government might not be so eager (or capable) to release the princesses as they claim to be.
>>68695>13 int gang>>68701"Do you Go to the meetings as well?"
>>68701>>68704The pony stamps her hooves in excitement
“Golden Delicious couldn’t say most of what needed to be said, but you’ll hear more”
“I’ve been attending for a while now”
>>68706"What Needed to be said?"
What time of day is it, where my character stands?
Oh, and one more thing:
Do the Sisters pray in the morning, evening, or both?
I need to designate a time/event at which I prepare my spells, and I would prefer to join them in in their practices for as long as Sister Ash remains at the orphanage.
>>68706Ok, When you're ready, we can continue where we left off with
BIG Iron
>>68702That’s pretty easy to do when Chrystalis has all 4 of them
>>68710They pray in morning and evening, and sometimes just when they can. The more formal and serious session seems to be in the morning, lasting an hour and conducted in a language that seems to be other than ponish
>>68707“Things he couldn’t say in public”
>>68711>>68711Well, I’m away from my laptop, so I’m a bit limited in what I am able to do right now.
[Read more] >>68713I can wait, no rush. A rushed scenario will always be bad after all.
>>68713*interested horse noises*
>>68713Alright.
From this point on, Sister Ash will make her prayers in the morning with her fellows, preparing her spells as the sun rises.
And we're back!
>>68715Black Cauldron gets back onto the route of collections to make. Two more collections are made in different apartments that go more or less without incident. A stallion who saw Iron's wound seemed to be somewhat intimidated by it, as if it brought awareness of the severity of the situation.
The next collection does not take place in a multi-family unit, but at a single family residence. As you walk through the neighborhood it is dark and the homes seem to be small units of a sort of "shotgun" style with small lawns in what seems to be a working class neighborhood. The unit that Black Cauldron stops at has a particularly unkept lawn, and no lights are on. She knocks on the door. She knocks on the door again. And a third time.
"I know you're in there"
After probably two minutes, she finally gets a response. "I'm not opening that door"
>>68716"Wait until we get there. It's a meeting of sorts
When you approach the home you see a home that is white with pillars on the front yard. It's a colonial style, almost like a plantation house. Of course it isn't on a plantation, but a two acre property in a residential neighborhood in town. "Here it is. I think we will meet in his library"
