We ded.
Then we begin.
New players get priority, six slots available, first come first served.
Post your
-name
-race
-class
-cutie mark / special talent
-weapon
-notable inventory & armour if any
-spells if a mage
-alignment/deity
Then put your NAME and [CLASS] in the name field to make my job easier.
We begin once we have six people.
If we don't have six in 30 mins, old players can join too.

I would try one of your new multiclasses. I can downgrade the armor if
it hampers my flight. Half-plate seemed appropriate for griffon soldiers
since they're stronger than pegusi.

It
is a dark time for Equestria. Old Ironhide, a monstrous and evil dragon
has returned from four centuries of imprisonment. He now wreaks havoc
among the Dragon Migrations, scattering the dragons to places they
normally ignore. This has caused conflict between the dragons and other
races, leading to many deaths and growing tension. Worst of all, it
seems Ironhide's trail of rampage is headed for Canterlot.
Many
heroes have been summoned to help prepare for the inevitable attack, and
through their efforts new truths have emerged. Ironhide was once a pony
named Valiance, a hunter of dragons and protector of Canterlot, he was
cast out by Ceelstia for his reckless and dangerous behavior. Seeking to
continue his quest of ridding the world of the threat of dragons, he
turned to the dark god Tirek in desperation and was turned into a dragon
himself. He was defeated by Celestia and her unicorns along with many
dragons, but not without great losses. Now the spell that bound him has
been broken and he is back to finish the job.
You have been
called to the Canterlot Royal Archives for a special and top secret
mission. You gather in a side room as you await to be briefed on the
situation. Please, tell eachother of yourselves to pass the time for a
moment.

No.1989514 Now that he has your attention, the scholar motions for his assistants to set up some maps and books on the nearby table.
As
you know by now, Ironhide is the knight Valiance, cursed by Tirek, Lord
of Midnight. Though his dragon form is mighty enough to devastate even
groups of full grown dragons, there might be a way to weaken him, or
even restore his original form.
Tirek's power is named the Power of
Darkness. Manifesting in a monochrome rainbow of black fire, smoke and
shadow, it twists all it touches into horrible monsters. Though nopone
in Canterlot has ever seen such power in action or wielded magic born of
Tirek, a search of the archives has turned up clues about it. Reports
from spies, assassins, guards, soldiers and officers who have faced the
minions of Tirek in the past often share mentions of a similar artifact -
a "rainbow of light" - which Tirek's worshipers regard as unholy and
terrifying.
A further search in the archives has revealed that the
Rainbow of Light no longer exists as a whole, but shards of it may still
remain, hidden and long forgotten as relics of the time when Tirek
walked the land in flesh.
The last sighting of a shard was in the
fungal groves of the forest of illusions. The report is old and
rambling, but this is your best lead.
You are to set eastwards to seek out the forest and the shard, then return it to Canterlot so it may be studied.
You
may stay in Canterlot for a while longer if there is something you need
or would like to do, or you may head out to the woods, either on foot
or via mass teleport courtesy of the Canterlot Mage Academy.

The
head scholar motions for one of his assistants to fetch another tome,
then explains that the forest has never been properly charted as all the
maps drawn, either by explorers on the ground or observers in the air,
never come close to matching eachother.
Other notable details you
should know include the fact that despite being called a forest, it has
almost as many giant mushrooms as it has trees. The exact properties of
these mushrooms are unknown, but they have been confirmed as edible by
all the groups who got lost trying to map the area out.
Information
on the wildlife is unreliable, as reports vary from the usual
timberwolves and bears to hydras and ursas. Some reports even speak of
running mushrooms and strange creatures that move in the blink of an eye
when not looked at.
You may take a copy of all the information he has with you if you wish.
Beyond that, if there is nothing else you need, he asks you move to the mage academy or the main gates.

depart Canterlot and head towards the forest of illusions. Along the
way Noise tells you that the preparations to face Ironhide have gone
well, and that she has hope for her race and this land once again. The
Griffon King has armed the mighty airship Stormherald, three splinter
clans of dragons have promised to aid in the coming battle, the binding
spell has been secured and distributed among the mage academy and
recently an old war hero, Gracious Glory, has been returned to life to
serve once more.
She herself says she feels she has grown much from

between the dragons and the other races.

The

becomes obvious the dragon is losing altitude and soon it crash lands
onto the field.
It gasps for breath and occasionally flails about, seemingly unable to get back up.

lucid.
It says it was sent to scout out potential roosting ground
when it started feeling strange. Needing to rest, it landed near a
forest. There, horrible visions plagued it and it fled to try and return
to the clan for help.
It thanks you for your help, and offers to take any of you who wish to come along to the clan's temporary resting grounds.

The
dragon leads you a short way into a valley. The dragons are lounging
around the rocky area, trying to rest as best as they can.
Noise's
info was fairly correct. There are maybe ten dragons here, most of whom
are mature ones. Two younger dragons, one male and one female, can also
be seen huddled near some boulders. Also worthy of note is the very
large older dragon who has knocked over some trees in his sleep.
The
dragon who brought you here points to one of the mature dragons, a
bronze coloured one, and says that he is the leader of this splinter. He
then leaves, saying he feels a bit ill.
Noise says she will go
chat with the leader to see if she can get them to unite with one of the
splinters she has met before. A splinter this small will be hard
pressed to mate with any success. She occasionally glances at the two
younger dragons and seems bothered.
She then asks if you wish to join her in the peace talks, or do something else?

brief for they are all very tired from ceaseless flying for days on end
and need rest.
Noise says she knows of another splinter they could
meet up with that resides in the mountains to the north. The bronze
dragon says that is a long way away and from what they've heard, the
path would take them dangerously close to Ironhide.

We
seek shards of power to turn him back to his former self, surely the
dragons would help us gather them more quickly so that this insanity
will end?

The
Bronze Dragon tells you their clan refused to move from their usual
roosts until it was almost too late. Ironhide caught up to the
stragglers and this dozen is all who survived. They have been on the run
ever since.
>>1991611
They did not.
>>1991574
The
dragon ponders, and then asks Noise if there might be an acceptable
alternative route to take here. Noise assures them she can allow them
passage over Canterlot, provided they can get there during the next day.
Groaning,
the bronze dragon lays back down again. It says they will make an
attempt to reach Canterlot as soon as they have rested.
Noise
seems happy with this resolution, and says she will stay a bit longer to
see if she can kindle further hope among the splinter before heading
back to Celestia.
As you prepare to depart for the woods, the dragon
you helped earlier returns. He says his hoard is not far, and if you
want, you can check it for things that you might like, as a token of
thanks for helping him out.
Pick out an item for yourself, all of you.

A dragon giving freely from his hoard? I never would have imagined, but I am no ingrate.
I
don't need treasure, but if he has something light and practical, it
would be appreciated. Some sort of cloak perhaps, or a small blade.
Perhaps a digging implement. I would like to get a few samples of the
local flora once we're there, and that would he helpful.

You
find some fancy jars that contain herbs. From the smell of them you can

Also you grab a sickle, since it should help in harvesting more plants, as well as cutting foes.

As
the party waves good bye to the dragons and Noise, they trek back to
the woods. Old but lively trees form the outer edges. They have grown
tightly, allowing little sunlight in many parts of the visible area.
There is undergrowth in the sunny parts, but no real visible paths. Some
mushrooms can be seen growing on tree trunks and on the ground.
A mild smoky smell can be detected in the air.
Look for possible signs of life?
Go in bravely?
Eat some of the mushrooms?

lead. The smell becomes more piercing, and you can hear crackling in

You can see tiny strands of smoke in the air. Curiously, they seem closer to purple than grey.

wounds and the knives stuck in his flesh, then giggles about having

As
you gaze into the well you see it has been blocked by a lump of metal.
Upon closer inspection you see it is shaped like a pony. Vaguely. An
armoured pony, dragged into the well and crushed by some horribly strong
thing.
Westrava runs up to you as he hears you gasp, looks into the
well then slumps down against it. He confirms that the crushed mess in
the well is Valorfax, one of his two comrades.
He wishes you do not linger here longer than is needed.
Look again to check for further info?
Go away?

You fly on ahead to the pond. As you try to drink from it you realize it is not liquid at all. It is ice. Warm ice. Like glass.

then sent it flying through a massive tree trunk.
As you near the clearing another mushroom walks by.
Remember that arrow you shot into the sky way back a few hours ago?
An arrow falls from the sky and hits the mushroom, killing it instantly. As it falls it lets loose a soul-tearing scream.
You can hear some really heavy footsteps coming at you.

marching at you. Even without a visible face you can tell it is mad. It
is far larger than the others you've seen, but otherwise looks the same,
sharing the same style of movement and posture.
Westrava falls
to the ground and whimpers. He was prepared to face any threat other
than this. He drops his ornate sword and shield, then covers his eyes.
He says the shard is in that clearing. That is all he can do for you
now.

Before
you can even realize what is happening, you feel your body buckle and
shatter as the stubby fist connects with the force of a thousand angry
gods. You are flung in the air you draw a beautiful arc of blood in the
air before impacting hard on a young tree, breaking it and your back in

As
the Great Mushroom lays waste to all around it, you strike your staff
into it. Calling to the primordial forces with all your frustrated rage,
you channel mighty gnarled roots from the earth to bind it. Pushing
your staff ever deeper into the fungal flesh, you command your roots to
crush it as had as they can. The Great Mushroom is immobilized.
>>1996399
Seeing
your chance, you call upon your great fire once more. All your life,
fire has been your fickle ally, helping you as often as scarring you.
Seeing your friends and allies tossed around like twigs and ragdolls,
you focus your rage and desperation into your inner flame. The flame
burns white hot, igniting your eyes into fiery orbs of hate and
determination. Drawing from the flaming inferno that slowly surround
you, you invite the fire to consume you and grant you what power it can.
You burst into flames, and the flames grow into a form of their own.
You have become the avatar of flame. The Lord of Cinders.

As
the party rallies to tend to the wounded, you rush to the clearing.
Sure enough, X marks the spot. There is a cross drawn upon the ground.
As you dig for a moment, you unearth a small box. Opening it, you see a
glimmering shard.
This must be the Rainbow of Light.
>>1996890
You reduce the spyglass to ash.
As you prepare to leave, the hole where the box used to be blinks. A voice echoes in your minds
>YOU WILL NOT RUN. YOUR DEATHS AWAIT HERE, AND THEY SHALL WAIT NO LONGER.
You hear a loud shattering noise and see massive tentacles reach into the sky, stretching far above the trees.

For
long you have evaded the grasp of death, yet all things must end. A
tentacle grabs you and takes you above one of the gaping maws. Your body
is limp and shattered. You cannot resist.

Death is inevitable. You of all should know that.
Another tentacle strikes you down and carries your broken form to the main body
>>1997190
Overconfidence
heralds your end, avatar of flame. A tentacle of death strikes through
you, tearing out your fiery heart. Another rises to finish you off, and
as it strikes-
>>1997206
the
knight leaps in to protect you. A strike meant to finish off a god of
fire strikes the battered flank of the pony, but through sheer will of
steel he endures. Impossible as it seems, his shattered, torn and broken
body still stands. He has seen death, and he will spit it in the eye.
When it is required, EVEN DEATH CAN DIE.

As
the tentacle struggles to push aside the deathsworn knight, you leap in
to strike your staff into the tentacle. It bites deep and as you hold
on with all your might, you keep it still long enough for

shard from Noise. She is flanked by some of her private guard, Gracious
Glory the Father of Heroes and Radiant Dawn, her stallionfaced fangirl

She thanks you from the bottom of her heard for your
deeds and sacrifices. What you have done this day grants much hope in
the coming battle.
She says you may remain in Canterot Castle to rest
as long as you need to, but you are free to leave whenever you desire.
Ironhide will be here soon, and she will not force anypone who does not
desire to fight to stay for that battle.
