>>84371"That's what we are supposed to be avoiding. Stealth mission."
>>84372"Well... I think there are going to be questions as to how there go to be a hole in this fence when we are done. But I guess we will cross that bridge later..."
[1d20+13 = 21][1d20+11 = 27]>>84374Landing then, stealth roll
Aiming for some B&E (+2 cuz crowbar)
[1d20+3 = 10]>>84374>>84376"they'll be looking for a large drunk earth pony."
>>84374Remembering his unicorn magic exists, he takes a few seconds to visualize tying a rope and the steps required to do so in his mind's eye.
>>84376"If it was weakened already, they could chalk it up to rust and lack of maintance."
>>84375Shotgun leaning against the wall next to him. He is calm, and reevaluates based upon Iron's response
"We can't let you in until we have certified your purpose"
>>84377Oh dear, I guess I should have clarified how many windows there were. There are four of them, and he sure as hell breaks and enters into them. He is not impaled on the landing, nor is it obvious that anyone saw him
>>84378He is just barely unable to edge through
>>84378>>84380Silver pauses in his visualization as he notices Dark Star struggling to get through. "Do you need help? I could try to bend one of bars to give you more room, or help by pushing."
>>84380Tucking away his crow-bar, Bree deliberately and loudly breaks the north-west window, before swooping around and (attempting) to break the south-east window.
>>84380Iron does not relent. "Dodging the question does not help you embrace your true self." He lays a hoof on the glass. "You can be honest with me. You are hiding from being a mare, are you not? I completely understand if you do. No need to hide it. I can tell."
Times like these are where I wished I went for diplomancy. >>84383>>84384Silver deadpans. "...I am still right here if you need help. Honestly."
>>84381Dark tar looks over at silver
"maybe try to pull another one free."
>>84382It is so
>>84383The results are 1 for 1 exactly the same as the last time he tried
>>84385He looks at him strangely, and Iron can only guess what he is thinking
[1d20+2 = 16]>>84387Strength: Silver gives prying the bar with his hooves another shot. "If this does not work, we may just have to push you through."
[1d20+11 = 16]>>84389Sneaky sneaky entrance (knives in hand, he has12 still)
>>84390The thing bends, and finally breaks
>>84391Hmmm.... I'm going to say he gets in. This room is rather dark. It appears to be a storage area. An attic, but not terribly dirty. Immediately visible is a chest, a larger painting, and a guitar
>>84392>>84387"Ah! There we go. You should be able to get through now." Silver looks at the larger hole to see if he could get through himself now without having to squeeze himself.
>>84389Iron thinks he completely understands. "I know. It is hard to open up to things like that. A mare who was forced to hide her true self by circumstances outside of her control. There are many cases like you." At least folklore tales that the elders told him. "But I can tell you are hurt. Lost. Confused. Angry at what society has done to you. I completely get it." He strokes the booth window, attempting to pet the stallion. "I can always come inside and comfort you from your troubles."
>>84395He moves away, out of petting range, and gives a very intense look at Iron
>>84394Success!
[1d20+4 = 15]>>84396Escape Artist: With Star out of the way, Silver tries to squeeze his way through the hole.
>>84398No traps are visible. What is visible, is a what appears to be a knocked over lamp on the floor, so he has found that tripping hazard
>>84397Uh, success
[1d20 = 9]>>84395>>84396Top kek.
>>84399I guess it is the sorcerer's turn to get stuck.
>>84396Iron keeps the hoof inside the booth. "I understand your fears. How will society treat you when you come out as a mare? Everyone will be shocked. Maybe you will never date that mare you were after since she only dates stallions. Maybe the boss will demote you when he finds out. Maybe some rival will fall for you when he realizes you are a mare. It is a door which will startle and make you dizzy." He moves his hoof gently again, trying to pet him. "But you do not need to make the step alone. There are others who will try to help you. Ponies like me."
>>84400What is his dex? In anycase, I think silver knocked down another one of the bars
>>84401he keeps out of petting range. And he keeps giving a concerned, afraid, judgemental look at Iron
>>84402The chest opens. The contents are robes and other clothing, with a red one on top
>>84400dark Star reaches his hoof through the hole to help spark through
>>84400Silver turns to Spark now that he's through. "Hey, mind letting Sister Ash know we are through?"
>>84404>tfw 18 Dex 68-year old Fighter Unicorn"So, which house is Comte's?"
>>8440511 dex. Everything Spark has is no modifier except strength: -1 and Charisma: +3
>>84407"Ok."
Spark hops back through if the bars are not holding him back then and relays the information to the Kirin who I assume is outside still.
>>84405Taking the red one then. And the painting. After, searching for staircases and such.
>>84407>tfw only 17 dex, why didnt you put that in 18 in str?>>84407dark Star points to the big one on the other side of the neighborhood.
>>84405Iron feels the guard will crack soon. "You do not need to fear me. I am a gentlestallion who tries to help mares in need. I will not try to take advantage of your body. I am not like that. Trust me. Hiding your true self will make you bitter and lonely in the long run. You need to come out soon or you will lose yourself, unable to recover and feel happiness again." He keeps trying, as gently as possible, to pet him.
Reinforcements are probably laughing at the 'drunk' earth pony and the afraid guard in there. >>84411Because raisins.Silver nods, looking at the house in question. "Let us wait for Spark and Ash. It is not good idea to split up just yet."
>>84410The painting, of a lady, is very large, and not terribly suited for carrying stealthily. A set of stairs are towards the end of the long room, leading down to a closed white door
>>84412The room is large enough for the guard to stay away from the edges
"Sir, you are drunk. You need to go home"
>>84420>>84421Spark brings the Kirin through as well.
[1d20+11 = 31]>>84419Fine, I'll cut the painting from the frame and roll it up
after the house is clear. Leaving the red,... whatever next to the chest for safekeeping before sneaky sneaky opening the door.
Its 8 stealth and 3 dex, if you're wondering >>84419"And leave you to brood in there? I cannot just let you hurt yourself anymore. I feel the pain and suffering you had to endure all of these years. You probably had to hide your femininity from a young age since your father wanted colts instead of fillies and you were about to be his last straw.
Going full Oscar Wilde here There is no need to hide anymore. Your father will not hurt you now." He now tries to put his neck inside the booth just for added hilarity.
[1d20+3 = 21]>>84421>>84422"That is everypony, and kirin. Come, let us make our way to this Comte's house." Silver heads for the target house, trying to stay out of sight.
Spot: On the way, Silver keeps an eye out for anypony who might see them.
