>>68257The Grey Stallion emerges from the forests of Duskaway. An unpaved road is beneath him, and he can see the city off in the distance, with a few taller buildings and industrial smoke stacks. The tree line thins out with a few pastures and some agricultural fields, mostly of corn. The houses increase with density as he approaches

As Sister Ash completes her work in the garden, she keeps an ear open to judge the other sisters' attitudes, asking a few inoffensive questions here and there as she gets to know them all.
Rolling Gather Information to see what she can discern about these "waterfront" stallions, and what they meant to the orphanage.
>>68256"Well don't just stand there, make like a cashier and sell me these!" Is what he thinks he says. What happens is he points toward the kiwis and lets out shrill "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
>>68259"Ask around for what?"
>>68260The Cashier puts his hoof over his ears as the eeeeeeeing goes on. He takes 10 kiwis and places them in a bag
"That will be 20 bits. They barely grow these anymore you know"
>>68259When she asks, the mares get sort of hushed and sulk away. The foals too are afraid.
Sister Marery finally gives an answer
"A group of villainous scum they are. Offered to lend some money when the Ophanage was running low. We had no other choice. We took some. But then they came broke some things. And....."
Sister Marery gets very quiet

>>68261the stallion stitches up the two wounds
"Alright, this should get better in some days. Be careful not to put too much weight on this."
Onyx can see the two police mares walking back in the hospital
>>68264Onyx makes like a banana and trys to split
>>68263Hmmm
Several taverns exist. He walks back in and passes a few. The Saltlick, the Watering Hole, the Eastside bar and so forth
>>68265As he sets his hoof down, he discovers he is in deep pain. The stallion tells him "watch yourself with those stitches"
>>68266He chooses the Watering Hole, as it sounded like something a tavern related to the docks. He enters the tavern, searching for a ship in need of dumb labor.
>>68262Eeeeee'ing in satisfaction, he spirits away with the kiwis, only regretting that the store had the presence of mind to place them in a spot that made them difficult to steal.
Yes, he paid for them, but he didn't like it.
>>68267Hmmm....
The grey Earth pony enters the tavern, and sees several ponies drinking and talking to each other, some rather loudly.
Well, I will say that the original intent of the game was to have everypony stay in the region of South-East Equestria, and meet up to go on quests. Right now there are 5 seperate characters, including yours, doing their own things going on adventures. I don't mean to say your pony can't go to a tavern and look for crews to join, then go to new Mareland and have his own adventure, just that I have a seperate tavern scene for another character, a nunnery for another character, and so forth so my creativity is just a bit stretched. In a standard D&D setting you generally tell one story that 4 or 5 people are all a part of.We love to have you, and I think you should flesh out your character a bit more. Perhaps you want to create stats for him? That helps with Fighting and dice rolls

>>68268The mares see him
"Excuse me sir"

*DarkStar heads to the tailor*
>>68270Onyx stomps a couple times in frustration, but says nothing
>>68270:3
Devouring one of the kiwis almost as soon as he left the shop, he feels the blissful satisfaction os the delectable fruit coursing through him. Stopping to deposit his remaining kiwis at his makeshift home, "Alright, now it's time to find some trouble," he Eeee's to himself, before setting off toward a tavern.
>>68271When he arrives at the Tailor, he sees Trim Fit
"You order is ready"
>>68272"Come with us"
>>68274"Thank you sir."
*DarkStar hands him 100 extra bits*
>>68273Which one? Our Earth pony is at the Watering Hole, our crystal pony would be at the Eastside tavern...
>>68275He takes the 100 bits with glee
"Might you have something
more for your gear in mind?"

>>68270 Oh wait, I was where everybody else was? Damn. Sorry GM. By the way, I have a crude sheet for him, don't worry. Fighter, Str is highest, proficiency in unarmed. The gray stallion deflated at such magnitudes of ponies dazzling about, clearly lost among the mass of ponies. There must be an easier way to travel at New Mareland. He realized he's tired from the trip and decides to stay at Baltimere
Which I hope there's the other players somewhat for some time, trying to get used to the place.
Sorry for the troubles, DM >>68276"I could potenially use some rope, Maybe Some Bird Food" *gestures to owl on his shoulder* "Are there any where, where there are a large number of rats?"
>>68267Welcome aboard New Fren, Have you played many RPGS?
[1d20 = 5]>>68262Sister Ash turns around slowly at the sound of the new voice.
>>68274Onyx sighs and follows the police.

[Read more] >>68283That looks like a decent build for a Fighter.
Also, mind that previous Earth ponies get +2 to Stength and Constitution, and a bonus feat at first level.
>>68283FYI we're starting at level 5
>>68282>>68277>>68283That'll work.
I will be leaving soon, but there are 4 other ponies and Kirin in Baltimare, only one of whom is being detained by police. You may interact with them while I am away
>>68279Well, I think I will be leaving soon enough. I will try to make some posts and replies over the night but I will not be at my laptop.
>>68283Starting level 5, Here are the Earth pony racial modifiers:
Earth Pony and Crystal pony:
+2 strength
+2 constitution
One free feat
Tactile hooves
One free skill maxed out
Cannot perform arcane magic
It's stronger than a base D&D race, but hopefully balanced with the other races
>>68285"Sir, we have a few questions for you"

>>68287*DarkStar Returns to the bar after paying for his long coat and cowboy hat*
>>68283What fighting style do you intend to build?
>>68291Wouldnt monk be better for that?
>>68292I'd rather not be lawful, but if unarmed fighter can't keep up with standard D&D meta, I can change its proficiency to a sword or spear. Didn't want to be lawful
>>68276The Tavern sounds like it would have better-paid clientele
>>68293Thats fair. you Dont have to Change anything if you dont want to, i didn't want to give that impression.
>>68291An unarmed fighter, huh. Interesting.
>>68293A Monk only gets bonys feats in levels 1 through six. He could be an ex-monk.
>>68295I'm just a newbie here. I'd rather not burden the party for my own sake. But if it's viable, I'll keep it for now.
>>68298Newcommers are always welcome.
I'm paying a Kirin nun, btw.
>>68298We all only just started yesterday.
Tell us about your character.
>>68302A tribesman from the Forbidden Jungles. Strength is the norm. Has ventured to complete his path to adulthood.
Sorryy for lack of response, trying to fix a bit the char sheet unsuccessfully.
>>68303mine is Dark Star
An Orphaned pony that is looking to the Black Hoofs, For assistance. The only Friend He has Left is his Owl Companion. He is Currently on a mission to take down Some suspected Communists for the Black Hoofs Party.
>>68303No rush; the DM isn't even here. Your character sounds pretty cool.
I'm playing a Kirin Druid.
She's a disciplined, faithful, ascetic mare who put gave up comfortable life to pledge dedicate herself in service to the poor. She works as a healer and herbalist, helping those who cannot help themselves.
>>68302>>68301>>68300Ok, so I know I have 19 STR and 13 Con for earth pony trait, also took some perks for unarmed exclusively. Put some points in jump, climb, move silently and hide. (+1, +1, +0,5, +0,5 respectively) Will add another feat for my race, taking Stunning Fist if possible. If not, I'll take Combat Reflexes. Am I doing this right or am I missing something?
>>68306Also should know I used this:
