>>69235"Any Particular skills we need to pull this off?"
>>69236"Well, to be honest, we still don't know the exact location, unless you learned that last night, except that it is in a group of buildings near the waterfront. I would think you would need to be able to either sneak in and around the buildings quietly and unnoticed, or go inside like nothing was peculiar about you at all. When things get ugly, you're going to need strong stallions who can take down opponents. Preferably both silently, and with a gun when the bullets do finally start flying. I would think that if you find yourself in the position that you have to fight sentries, you'd want to do that without alerting the main group of communists. And if some pony can do magic, that'd be real useful.
We still don't know exactly what role the Waterfront gang and the police play in all of this. We suspect the gang is giving
some support, but we don't know what or how much. We don't know to what degree the Police are helpful or corrupt. Expect both the gang and the police to stop by when gunshots ring. Above all else, find out who the new faction is, and stop them"

>>69237"Sir one other thing im not sure if its relavant or not but they also mentioned possibly having a revolution in griffonia as well. and sir, i would like to requisition a Bolt Action Rifle For this mission."
>>69238"One last thing, we have a liaison to set up between us and you, who will help you set things up. Meet Blue Skies"
A cute looking Pegasus Mare comes into the room, with a blue-white almost cloud-like coat and a Dark blue mane, blue green eyes and a yellow cutie mark of a sword with wings. She is smiling and has a slender appearance."
>>69239"Ask her"
>>69240"Nice to meet you miss skies."
>>69241She offers a hoof to shake
"If you are infiltrating, where are you going to hide a rifle?"
>>69242*Shakes her hoof*
"I was thinking about stashing it somewhere on the docks in case things go south."
>>69243"That could work. Anyways, nice to meet you. I help the governate police around here, and can help with supplies, maybe tactics, until you have your team ready"
>>69244"How do you think it should be done?"
>>69245"I could hardly tell you how to assemble a team, I'm mostly just here so you don't need to keep making trips back to headquarters while you prepare"
>>69246"Alright, ill see you later miss skies. im off to
Assemble the partyWork."
>>69247She follows him, with almost the casual manner of a cat
Alright, I think that's all for tonight
>>69230Sorry, I think i failed to make anything special for you here tonight
>>69248>tfw pass out from touching your bed a little too muchIt's fine, seeing as how I was not even up.
>I can summon a dire wolf by giving up a third level spell
Oh...
Nah, he would've just gotten angry/territorial. Didn't want to hurt him too badly anyway.
>>69252The driving of the car is rather erratic and fast, and you get the strong impression that these devices need to be banned or at least heavily restricted. The sister adds "you're lucky there was only one of those wolves. They are supposed to come in packs."
Sundew adds "This isn't exactly a wilderness. If there were more of them, they must have all been killed." You all arrive at the hospital, and the two mares try to help you inside. A nurse asks a question and then directs you immediately to the emergency ward. A stallion starts to look at her wounds
"These look like they've already been lightly healed"
>>69253[Ochophobic shaman noises]
"I.. I-it's too bad. All the deforestation in recent years makes them all the more likely to encounter ponies. Anyway, I hope he learned his lesson and will stay away from the orphanage." Sister Ash replies through gritted teeth, as she braces herself to the seat of the infernal driving machine.
>healed"Just a bit. I learned a few tricks about healing myself, in my training, but I wouldn't call myself an expert..." She says, staring at the gash in her flank, hoping it doesn't scar.
>>69205"Thank you...."
Onyx reflects in how bad crime must be to have this many halberd stabbings.
>tfw inferior Druidic healing abilities
>>69254The vehicle is utterly terrify.
"Well, it looks like it stopped the bleeding, so the wound is already mostly stabilized. Now please, hold still for this, it may hurt a little, but will make the pain go away."
He levitates a hypodermic needle and injects Ash with it. With a blue glow of unicorn magic, he starts working on the wound with that "modern medicine" voodoo wizardry people talk about, disinfecting the wound and applying stitches and whatnot.
Sister Marery says to her "I never knew you were a mage"
>>69255The mare hands back the halberd, which has a blackish brown venir on its pointed end. "Here you go."
[Read more] >>69257>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE needles!Sister Ash makes a horrified expression as the doctor
stabs her, but manages to hold still long enough for him to finish
(and resist the urge to burst into flames)"Oh, yes. I am a bit of a mage, you could say. I wouldn't call myself a Wizard of any sort like those unicorn magi in Equestria, but I do know a few spells that have come in handy over the years. I was never very good at working with my hooves." Sister Ash says, talking rather quickly as she distracts herself from the treatment
>>69258"Easy now. Many ponies have a fear of needles, and some ponies have a Vascovagal response to it." The doctor, for his part, is happy to have found a part of the pony-thing that isn't hard scales.
"So... you're a unicorn?"
>>69257Onyx grabs it in his jaw and nods before leaving.
>>69259".. In way.." the Kirin replies , a hoof drifting up to her branch-like horn
"I'm not from around here. My kind were known to you ponies as 'Kirin'.." she continues awkwardly, her understanding of racial relations being rather limited.
>>69261"It's just that some of the sisters are concerned about the source of your powers, seeing as we don't know what spirits and what magics they consort with down in Zebrica. I don't mean to be rude. I am not sure sister Rosemary and Sunnyday would have made it home without you, and I thank all you have done for us"
>>69260He now has his halberd and is free
>>69262Yippee...
He heads back to work, not wanting to be late.
>>69262The Shamanistic Sister frowns at the subject, not entirely sure how to respond, but nods her head in understanding
"Among the circles I had a privilege to attend, I met many kinds of magi. The Shahir and the Wu Gen were exceptionally powerful, drawing their magick (she puts a bit of extra accent on the k) from the teachings of the spirits they conjured.. fearsome spirits, the likes of which you could never imagine.." she trails off, as if remembering something unpleasant
"I however, had no such training, or privilege for such magick. I never considered myself an arcanist, but a disciple of the Elements. As for 'spirits', if that's what you would call them, I do see them, speak to them even. In prayer, I can feel them, watching, listening, surrounding us every aspect of our lives. The Elements are like... What's the world you ponies use for it? The forces that drive this world..?"
>>69263The Bartender and owner greets him when he enters. "Now where have you been?"
>>69264"The world drives itself. It's Harmony that orders it, gives the seasons and the celestial bodies a schedule, and unites ponies together in common purpose"
>>69265She snaps
"Harmony! That's the word." she says, a ghost if a smile returning to her face
Then she continues
"The Magick of my people naturally follows a path that would be suspicious to the arcanists of this nation.. The Winds brought me here to serve the poor, which, but my own mission.. was to gain a greater understanding of the gentle Magick of the Equestrians. Harmony.. is a notion of great value where I come from; for without it, we only face fire and destruction."
>>69250As Iron approaches the Watering Hole, he sees that there are police inside and outside
>>69267"Well aren't we all? What was so special about last night"
>>69266Dark Star goes where he goes, with Blue Sky trailing him, 10 to 20 feet behind him
>>69265*Darkstar Heads to the Eastside tavern
With blue Skies in tow?*
>>69269Iron, curious, apporaches the police guards close to the door and ask why are they there.
>>69269"Some gang members jumped me. One, if not both, won't be jumping anyone again."
>>69269>>69270"Not to be rude miss skies, but i think the eastside my be a little rough for a beautiful mare such as yourself."
>>69268"Very well then. But we are glad to see you have powers to use for good. Because celestia knows we need a protector."
The doctor has been working this time. "Soon to be done"
>>69270The tavern is before him, a two story red building on a street corner. If he goes in, he sees the same bartender, a coal-black pony talking to him, and a grey Bat pony talking to a rather nice looking white unicorn mare. Steel Heart is not present at the moment
>>69273"Oh I see. No thanks, it's calm enough early morning."
>>69272He looks a bit concerned. "Alright then. Glad to see you are in one piece"
>>69271"Sting operation, several petty criminals were arrested. The bar will be closed for a few more hours though"
[Read more] >>69275"Glad to be in one piece"
Onyx sets to work.
>>69273>>69275Fucking hell, I miss understood the scene. There is no bat pony or white mare, and Blue Skies says "I assure you I can handle myself. I just need to make sure you can handle tonight"
>>69276The fill-in guy last night didn't quite fix everything right. Some chairs and tables are dirty
\r
>>69277"Could have sworn I cleaned these before I left..."
>>69275Sister Ash nods her head
"Powers that cannot be used for the sake of foals are of little worth in having."
>>69275"Hey Barcolt, Hows business today?"
>>69275Iron questioned about these "criminals", what they look like and what organization are they in, if they are in one at all.
>>69277"If You Say so miss Skies, If anything gets To Bad i have my Revolver" *winks*
>>69278"Funny thing about tables in crowded restaurants. they have this annoying tendency to need to be re-cleaned."
>>69279The doctor says "Alright, this should heal in short time, but you are good to walk now."
Sister Marery tells Ash. "Sundew had to drive back to the diocese, so we must walk back. I hope you are good to walk, and I have to make a couple stops."
>>69281"All we can really say is that it is a few ponies, mostly members of the Waterfront Gang"
>>69280"A bit thin, but that's to be expected midday"
>>69282"hehe," *winks back* "you're gunna need that gun"
[Read more] [1d20 = 9]>>69283Iron frowned. No wonder they did not contact him again. He tries to look behind the cop to get a better look at the scene under him. Rolling spot.
