>>72779
>>72780
With a single punch, the griffin is impaled through the chest, and stops breathing

>>72780
Cuz I charged at him. Normal modifier is +10 and charge grants +2 and takes AC -2
>>72781
Iron is somewhat annoyed by this prospect. "Damn, I punched him too hard. I wanted him alive."

>>72781
>>72782
The sorcerer takes a small step away from Iron. "I-is it clear in there now?"

>>72782
He needs like 20 feet to charge, and you don't have that here. I guess he would be alive if the spikes were not used, though he would still not be conscious

>>72783
Yes

[1d20 = 5]
>>72783
Iron scouts the area, looking for some more enemies.

>>72784
I'll keep that in mind.

>>72785
He does not see anything threatening in the room

>>72787
>>72783
"Yes, it is clear."

>>72787
On to the next room opposite this one. Any enemies should surender if they value their lives because even if we aren't trying to kill them, we destroy them.

>>72789
Iron follows as usual.

>>72788
>>72789
>>72790
When they open the next room, they see another room with beds in it. This one houses 10 suitcases

I call out to Blue Skies. "This room may interest you. Come see this."

>>72791
"Thae place is empty, it seems."

>>72793
*this

>>72793
"We don't know what the suitcases have though. It could be clothes, but it could be documents."

>>72792
She comes over "Well, would you look at this"

>>72793
"Hardly"

>>72796
"Enemy-wise, it is." Iron looks at Skies. "Found anything of Redclaw?"

>>72797
"Yes, I found this. Unless you'd rather have a cigar or a hat, or a bandana. But it looks like this is what Redclaw brought with him to remind him of his home"

She shoes him a cut wooden animal
"This is a carving of a water buffalo. A very strong animal, used to pull plows and carry rice. The farmers of that region would have used them extensively. Maybe he worked with them as a chick, I can't say. But to him it probably symbolized the farmers, which he no doubt identified himself with."

>>72795
"Do you have some sort of magic detection?"

>>72798
Iron takes the animal. "Thank you, Skies. I will remember his strength in combat, even when I did not challenge him directly." Iron turns to the suitcases. "He has a horn on his head, so he should have."

>>72798
"I believe so. What do you need?"

>>72800
"I want to find the changeling's suitcase. She no doubt guarded it magic. It will produce a signature that you could detect"

[1d20+3 = 19]
"I see. And one of these might be it then?" I cast Detect Magic.

>>72802
And sure enough, it shows a number of magical signatures in the area. A spell on the threshold of the door, a magical signature from Blue Skies herself, and three separate magical signatures from the third suitcase on the right in the set

[1d20+3 = 17]
>>72803
"Well... I'm picking up that the door is magic, and three things of magical quality in that suitcase there." I point out the third suitcase on the right. "I'm guessing that the magic on the door is something to worry about though. Who puts magic on a door?"

>>72804
You know I'm tired when I'm leaving the dice up again

>>72804
"Someone who wants to set an alarm"

>>72805
You can take it as a disarm magic if you want.

>>72806
"I suppose her briefcase is also an alarm?"

>>72808
"Oh no, There are spells if you want to keep somepony from reading something. Or opening a lock"

>>72806
"Well, we already triggered it now that the door is open. As long as it doesn't try and shoot me or spill my drink, I'm fine."
>>72809
"And I don't suppose there is a way around that?"

>>72810
"For a lock? The lock itself cannot be disarmed by any means but magic. The suitcase itself, however, is breakable. As for the spells on the documents, they will need a dispel magic spell, but that can wait"

>>72811
"In that case, we should just take the case with us."

>>72812
"That'll work"

>>72813
"While you take that and check the other cases for anything of use, I'll go for the next door."
I motion Iron to follow.

>>72814
Iron follows.

>>72814
I think we lost Iron. This will probably take until tomorrow

>>72816
Hah, gottem

>>72815
I open the next door.
>>72816
>>72817
Kek

[1d20+2 = 7]
[1d20 = 14]
[1d20 = 11]
>>72818
>>72817
When she moves through the door, an alarm like sound can be heard, roughly coinciding with the opening of the door to two hostile griffons. Roll for initiative

[1d20 = 18]
>>72819
Rolling.
>>72820
We didn't disarm the alarm spell when Blue Skies entered the door behind us.

>>72820
>>72821
Looks like the initiative is Spark, Griffin, Iron, Griffin, and Blue, who was over at the other door

>>72821
>>72822

Try to kick the griffon before me. I still have low HP

[1d20 = 8]
>>72823
Same here. I got 7 hit points left.
>>72822
Using rifle as a club again. Hopefully staring death in the face makes me swing harder. I attack the one closes to Iron.

>>72824
Forgot -1

[1d20+2 = 20]
>>72824
>>72823
Ooh.... It appears the rifle misses

A griffin attacks Iron with a knife

>>72824
Great.

>>72826
Owie. Artificial 20

[1d4+1 = 3]
>>72823
>>72827
The knife goes through Iron's hide and pierces flesh. Now it's Iron's turn

>>72829
Iron punches nonlethally at the griffon whose turn has not started yet, placing +5 to damage through power attack.

[1d20+5 = 12]
>>72830
Forgot dice

[1d3+10 = 11]
>>72831
>>72830
Good enough

[1d20+2 = 8]
>>72830
>>72825
The griffin is knocked out cold. Now, Blue moves over, and quickly draws a knife to attack the other griffin

[1d20 = 8]
>>72833
>>72825
>>72831
She is not as skilled with the knife as she is with the crossbow or carbine it seems. Now, another griffon joins from behind

>>72833
Is Atlas at it again? Am I discount Onyx in this situation? Also, for the record, I have cleave as my bonus feat. I'll be sure to use it next round.

>>72831
>>72825
With one griffin out, the order of initiative is again, Spark, Griffin, Iron, Griffin, Blue

>>72836
Please Spark get some decent rolls, at least damage the enemy this time. Pray to the dice gods, Spark.

[1d20-1 = -14]
>>72836
Please rifle. I know we have had nothing but disagreements, but you need to hit something now. I attack the closest griffon to Iron.
>>72837
*dice god prayers intensify*

[1d6-1 = -5]
[1d20+2 = 7]
>>72838
Hit. Rolling damage, and the Griffin's attack

>>72837
>>72839
>>72838
Spark does serious harm to the griffin, while it fails to hit Iron. Iron's turn Attack the uninjured griffin

[1d20+5 = 18]
>>72840
I was going to do that lol

Iron again unleashes his hooves nonlethally at the new griffon, same +5 modifier and all.

[1d3+10 = 12]
>>72841
He spins around, and hits the new griffin with a roundhouse kick

[1d20+5 = 6]
>>72842
Iron activates his cleave attack to attack the injured griffon nonlethally.

[1d20+6 = 21]
>>72841
>>72842
>>72838
Blue Skies, for her part, drops the knife, and pulls from her vest a weapon she is familiar with, a .38 special. She takes a shot at the griffin who stabbed Iron

[2d6 = 10]
>>72844
>>72843
Iron, in his attempt to spin around o hit the other griffin, falls flat, and knocks Blue down in the process. But not before blue lands a hit with her .38

>>72838
>>72843
>>72845
The griffin is dead, the other two griffins are unconscious, both blue and iron lay on the floor, and tipsy has not been spilled

>>72845
>>72846
Iron groans in discomfort. "Sorry, Skies. You may hit me twice for that little stunt of mine."

>>72847
"I will remember. Let's get the suitcase, get Dark Star, and get the hell off this ship and out of the harbor"

>>72846
Any fight Tipsy walks away from is a victory.
"Ok... we got gold and cases of secrets. What else did we come here for?" I check inside the room to make sure it is indeed empty in there.

>>72848
"Roger." He stands up and picks Skies up to her hooves. "Let us move."

>>72850
"Got it." I head back to the stairs and go up to get Dark Star.

>>72849
It is empty

>>72850
Blue likes being touched in such a way, and reacts with a somewhat sensual purring

>>72849
Blue is dumbfounded
"Is that the same drink you got at the bar six hours ago?"

>>72852
"Maybe..."
I hide the glass from view.

>>72852
Iron cocks an eyebrow. "Alright. I will be sure to touch you like that, then." Iron looks at the now gone Spark. "Also, yes, I think he is a drunkard of sorts with his infatuation with that bottle."

>>72854
*remove 'now gone'

>>72854
"I don't drink."
I hold the glass out to show it is still full.

>>72856
>>72854
She has a look of mild concern for Shimmer now
"I will check the other suitcases quickly." She picks up the knife again

>>72857
>>72856

He looks at Spark and then at Spark. "Who shall I follow?"

>>72858
*change one of the Spark with Skies

>>72858
"Stay with her. I'm grabbing Dark Star and if somehow I don't make it down stairs with him, carry on without us. You got everything you need to complete the mission." I run upstairs and attempt to drag Dark down with me.

>>72860
"Roger." Iron stands guard at the door of the room Skies is rummaging through the suitcases.

>>72861
Alright, here's hoping Dark Star comes tomorrow. I'll stay for 15 more minutes and then I'll go to bed, just in case I have to fight some griffons protecting Skies.

>>72862
She asks him "You want to open some locked suitcases?"

[1d20+5 = 22]
>>72863
"Sure." Iron proceeds to get near the first locked suitcase she points at and buck it hard.

>>72864
And it is opened right the hell open
"Just a couple more of these"

[1d20+5 = 19]
[1d20+5 = 21]
>>72865
Iron keeps doing his current task.

>>72866
"I think we've found your true calling in life. You could work for customs."
She goes to work looking for anything of value or note in the suitcases

>>72867
"Anything interesting that you have found?" Iron looks to see if all suitcases are open already.

>>72868
All of them are open
"Indeed." She holds a passport, and a briefcase

>>72870
I have beaten the GM on sleep deprivation! I am KING! Also going to bed

>>72870
Night for Spark and you.

>>72870
>>72872
Goodnight

>slept through the only conflict in the night
"Ummmm, do you ponies need any help..?"

>>72876
>>72875
Shh. GM is asleep. Where was your character at? I can guide him with little deviation.

>>72877
*Her
Idk, somewhere between the ship and the motorboat.

>>72878
Well, you can pretend you went back to Dark Star, which I believe is also the first poster of today, and then Spark finds both of you in the room. Apart from that, I do not know if you could do much else.

>>72877
one second. im reading.

>>72879
Alright. I think I'll go with that.

>>72881
By the way, Ash should have heard that the giant army outside is non-hostile. At least that is what Skies wants Iron to believe, and I remember that you were there with me.

>>72885
>>72884
Oh yeah, I should have remembered that bit in particular. Basically we somewhat made up and accidentally tripped her. I am not sure why she did that. Did I grab her by the pussy or something?

Dark Star snaps back to realityoh no there goes the gravity from pondering all of the events that has happend in the last 2 days.
"Whats going on?"

>>72883
She do believe that they're hostile. She's just worried that they may be if the party encounters them.

>>72889
Which ones?

>>72889
The ones with spiked gauntlets, probably not. The ones using fists, sure.

>>72889
>>72894
i think gm said the ones you hit without the gauntlets are just KOd

>>72888
>>72895
I wonder if Sparkboi will appear in the afternoon. I somehow doubt it.

Alright, we're definitely making a new thread, because this isn't working even for me by now

>>72875
It is kind of a shame, since she was looking specifically for Dark Star, and went where he would have been

>>72887
Time to leave the ship

>>72889
I think the first one was hit with spikes. That one is dead if that is so. The second and third one were knocked unconscious. The fourth one received a bad clubbing by Shimmer, and then a bad set of damage die from Blue's .38. It is dead

>>72897
The first ambush of the night was with hooves, so it's alive. The second, where the alarm sounded, I knocked out two more. Last one is that.

>>72897
So... you will post the link here when you start the thread, right?

>>72897
"Hey Blue."

>>72900
When he sees her, she has discarded the vest she was wearing earlier, rendering her naked again. She carries a suitcase under her left wing, and a smaller briefcase under her right wing. She smiles when she sees him
“Hello”

>>72901
Iron is guarding the entrance to the room where the lovebirds are.

>>72901
"Im sorry i got absorbed in my thoughts, i didnt expect All This to happen when i accepted the mission, i just have no idea how im gonna explain all this. they probably wont even accept me into the party now."
Dark Star seem sad after he says this.

>>72897
Aww, too bad for them.

"... So.. what's the plan?"

>>72905
Iron turns to Ash. "It is either walk away like nothing happened or get on the boat."

>>72907
"Dark Star makes the calls here. It seems we are not in imediate danger." Iron strokes Ash's mane. "So you do not need to fear another battle."

>>72907
She looks towards the boat
"... I had hoped to avoid becoming too overly involed in Equestrian political affairs for a while.. I would prefer to take my leave as soon as possible.."

>>72908
*Purrs like a cat*
"..... Oh, yes.. that's fine then."

>>72903
She puts a hoof on him. “That blood loss must be getting to your mind. You’ve successfully stopped the communists from distributing more than a thousand rifles, and you killed two advisers who would have trained them how to use those rifles effectively, while killing or leaving to be captured more than a dozen communists. All while leaving the impression that the communists were robbed by gangsters”

>>72906
>>72909
“It’s time to leave. Let’s get out of here. Now.”

>>72911
Ash wastes no time in getting down to the boat.

>>72911
Iron nods. "Well, the time is up. Let us leave the premises." He follows Skies and Dark Star.
>>72910
"At least you were not hurt in this battle, Ash. I am glad to see that. Iron keeps stroking her mane.

>>72913
*." Iron
>>72911
>>72912
Will be phoneposting for the time being, so expect slower response time

>>72914
Same.

>>72913
*Purring intensifies*
"... Hmm... I appreciate your concern.."
Ash seems much more relaxed now that all of the gunfire is over.

>>72911
"i do feel a little light headed and Nauseous. lets get out of here."

>>72913
>>72912
Blue Skies follows, in jealous fascination of the affection

>>72918
"Boat is this way."
She has a hoof over his shoulder, and pushes him the direction, as she follows Iron and Ash

>>72919
Iron, in turn, follows Ash out of the boat. He makes sure to stroke her scaly coat after all the mane brushing.

>>72921
>Spoiler image
That's funny.

>>72922
Ikr

>>72919
"Do You think sea breeze will be mad about the fire?"

>>72924
"Hard to say. I don't think you set it, and I don't think it's killed anyone directly, at least yet. Two police officers who responded to the fire were killed by Marecuse"

[1d20 = 2]
>>72925
Sense motive

Okay, new thread https://mlpol.net/vx/res/72927.html
