Last time the Party successfully dealt with the Bat ponies bothering Pegavillage, and converted the leader Master Chiro, and 50 of his colony, the others turned and fled including his own special some priestess, Chiranna but not before giving them a last taste of what she could do.
The party discussed it thoroughly and decided to head to the crystal caves, in an attempt to get a tactical advantage by getting there before the other bat ponies. Khazard was carried on could pulled by a converted bat pony, the walking on clouds spell was taught to him, so he can reapply it or apply to others.
Ten of Pegavillage's arches traveled with the party, and a total of 30 converted bat ponies, in their new white armor, with luna blue accents. The others stayed behind to defend Pegavillage.
You flew far and long toward the location of crystal caves. You see a few ponies gathered on the road ahead. There is actually a small crowd. As you get in closer you see a bat pony in the night mare moon uniform is at the center. He seems to giving a speech. What do you do?

You can't tell, the crowd is too thick.
>>163485
There are about 20 ponies, no 40, NO 200!
>>163486
>>163489
You can hear him talking about how corrupt the rule of Celestia is, how these people have nothing, they work all day and they barely have enough food for themselves. He speaks of a better way, a more fair rule, under the wings of the night. You also note there are about 20 ponies gathered here.
>>163488
You seem to be a little scared and stay too far away.

You can only see regular ponies, seems to be mostly earth ponies and zebras. but its hard to tell from down here.
>>163494
>>163496
You see there are a few poking their heads out of clouds, you estimate 6 others are with him. Also there is your small army which is hanging back to let you check out the gathering while they rest their wings.

"You really think so Alle? I guess I'll take the honors then!"
I give Allegro a peck on the cheek and-
>>163497
I fly over and land in front of the crowd.
"A fair rule under the wings of night? The one you worship is a tyrant! She wants to bring eternal darkness to the land, not fairness or justice! She wants to kill all of pony life as we know it because of her own selfish desires!"
Roll #0 3 + 2 = 5

The crowd looks taken back and angry. "What?" "Outrageous!"
The Bat Pony who was giving the speech looks at you with distrust his green eyes flaring up a bit, but then he turns to the crowd attempting to take advantage of the situation. "See how she sends her agents to spin lies about The Fair Goddess? This kind of blatant manipulation is what Celestia's rule promises! Do you want that?!" '1d10'

A few look horribly offended at the idea. "No one would do that.""Simply not true." "An old mare's tale."
"Don't listen to this fool, Nightmare Moon is a just and fair goddess. She will guide us into the future!"
>>163510
You play a wonderful song, in adoration of Celestia, the whole crowd knows it by heart and before long they are singing and dancing along to it. They seem to have forgotten everything the Bat pony was saying in favor of music. +2 to rolls.

"We don't want that." "Certainly not!" A few mares are seen covering their foal's ears, and taking them away. "Celestia has been fair to my family!"
>>163518
Your words fall short and no one seemed to notice them at all.
>>163527
Even the Bat pony gets caught up and starts singing with you! Everyone is cheering for celestia, singing and dancing.
>>163535
"That's a good point!" "Celestia is here, Night Mare Moon isn't here!" "Yeah, Celestia is better!"
The bat pony leaves frustrated, he is with the other six in clouds now.

Chiro himself was dancing a bit and nods. "Well certainly, Shall we go together then? Its only six so I should be fine with just your team on my side." He motions for his people to say there.
>>163547
You should have a +3 on that so you do. You see a few of them dancing still from that fantastic song and dance just now. The older bat pony smacks them into shape and tells them next time they are going to sing ballads to the night goddess and get the crowd as easily as the ponies did.
>>163551
One of them calls down "What do you mean?! We love our Goddess!"
>>163556
the same one calls down. "No thanks! I just want to live- I mean LIVE IN PEACE! PEACE UNDER THE SUN!~" The speech giver drags him back onto the cloud. "Get back here!"

A few look curious. "Oh, yeah? Sounds kind of nice.." "Shut up, you shouldn't be talking to them!"
>>163563
"Name's Alphonio. I don't like you hassling my underlings, why don't you move along?" He glares at you quite intensely.
>>163564
You try to do that, but get knocked down by the some wind. You land on the ground, but aren't hurt or anything.
>>163566
Chiro swoops down and carries you to the cloud so you can be heard.
>>163565
You make your way to their smallish cloud. Chiro lands proudly next to you, and speaks to them. "Brothers, do you not have wings like mine? Do you not fly in the air? Do you not eat the fruit of the land? Why would you want to curse it?"

Alphonio is not intimidated by your glare, and stares back. "I said back off!"
>>163581
Chiro's words reach him and Alphonio is puzzled. "You really think that its for the best? You were one of the highest, but I heard you left the order and were cursed.." The others seem to agree.
>>163586
They don't seem convinced.
>>163583
You go on to explain your rationality to them, and they can't seem to say anything back in response. Chiro looks proudly at your skills, he gives you a pat on the back, a ray of light hits your diplomacy medal, and you can't help feeling that you can earned it. Alphonio and his six ponies have joined your cause.
>>163590
You enjoy the show.

Alphonio replies. "Well, it was something that we heard from the high priestess. That he was somehow cursed or spell bound. At least that's the rumor." They accept your pat on the back, a bit awkwardly trying to return it.
>>163605
>>163608
"Yes, there are a few." "About 44" "They're investigating the cave up ahead. They think it might be the cave NMM wanted us to find."
>>163609
They blush and seems a bit shy about kissing, except one who returns the kisses with perhaps too much force.

You don't feel jealous at all. It was just a kiss on the cheek after all.
>>163619
>>163622
"Sure, not a problem at all. Its just up the road from here." They point eastward.
>>163623
"Oh, I didn't mean it like that!" The bat pony hurries to say. "Just trying to mimic your customs. I'm Don."
The bat ponies assemble and take orders from Alphonio to move this cloud over to the mines. it only takes four of them to do it, so you can still talk to Don, or Alphonio this turn.

"The crystal caves are one of the six sites that are required to power the ritual to bring the Mistress of the Night back.. She needs the power with in. The land itself is said to contain the power. In this case the crystals might be able to hold the power from the site and make it mobile, Possible making us able to complete our ritual by just visiting each site and collecting the energy in the crystals. Instead of creating a storm cloud fortress and writing runes like the current plan is. It could revolutionize the entire event! I mean, you've seen how tedious building the storm cloud and the runes is right? You have to make them perfect and it requires supervision, if it proves to be true the others will have a much easier time of bringing her back ..but we only just started investigating this area, so we can't be sure until we research it. We were really here trying to convert to locals. "
>>163638
He shakes your hoof eagerly. "Thank you Arioso! I'm glad to be working with someone as friendly as you."
>>163641
"Of course!"Don says and watches you kiss with some jealousy.
Your kiss is decent, its not too long or too short, you don't drool or anything and she seems to smile after wards.

"The others aren't really talkative. They will probably resist your truth."
or at least roll against you.
>>163673
>>163672
The two recent converts nod. "It was a lucky choice indeed."
The cloud comes over the horizon and can see nearly feel magic coming from the area. The night sky looks to be a bit brighter than usual as you look down you can see the entrance to the cave. There seem to be some empty mine carts, and a shadowy figure is seen doing something with it. The new converts get nervous, and fly you to the ground. "I'm sorry to leave you alone, but I can't go up against by kin just yet. I'm gong to join the rest of your men and learn about luna." Alphonio says, and his men agree. They fly off leaving your party and Chiro alone.

Chiro speaks up and tells you "Removing anything they have done so far should be good enough for now, would could try to lay down runes honoring something else, perhaps you know of some that would honor the true Moon Princess Luna?"
>>163693
You can't quite see in the dark.
>>163695
You approach the figure, as it comes into light you can see that it is a Diamond dog, He is wearing what looks to be a thieves outfit, he has his arms full of crystals, all different colors. He drops them when you approach. "What the! P-pony!"
>>163697
>>163702
Its a diamond dog, with a load of crystals in his arms, maybe stealing them, maybe dropping some off, his outfit is more like a thieves' garb, light weight and slick. You see Khazard approach him and surprise him.
>>163698
You become invisible in the night, you are like a shadow, not even your own teammates can see you. The Diamond dog in the pathetic thieve's outfit never saw you coming. You can even find time to laugh at his slow-wits.

"Call off your knife man! I was just trying to m-make a profit off the strange looking ponies. Some of them have hired my kin, but I am just one of a band of thieves!" He looks around nervously for his fellow thieves. rolling to see if her finds them. '1d10'

>>163742
"I like gems, but I guess you can have these.."
>>163744
"They didn't hire me, They hired ootherss, The hired them because we are good at the mining. They have clumsy hooves, and can't do it as fast."
>>163746
"Why not? What's the harm in a few gemss?"
>>163755
"Yes, yes, just a few!" He looks at the pile by his feet with longing. "Soo pretty!"
>>163759
"Sell, yess, I was going to sell some, but you ponies can haves them, just let poor grimly go.."

You enter the cave and find it is quite bright, there are torches lining the sides of the cavern at regular intervals, you see some exposed crystals already. There is a faint growling sound as go deeper, and the clicking sound of mining. You come on a fork in the cave. Right you can hear some mining, and left you can hear nothing.

You all nearly fall into a hole but
>>163825
You stop them and show them the way around the hole. It was a pretty shallow hole but would have slowed you down at least.
You all see the miners and a bat pony guarding them, and ordering them around.

>>163850
The lullaby finishes off the job, its sweet sounds make the mining dogs sleepy as well. They take a break and some of them slump over on their picks.
>>163847
They have mined two carts worth, looks like they just started a bit ago.
>>163848
The miners are Diamond dogs, they don't seem to have any bat pony items on their clothes. The picks are colored dark purple, and were most likely provided by the Bat ponies.

>>163852
You follow your bat pony over to its commander. "The dogs are working hard Maim, they have already mined two carts worth!" The Female bat pony smiles, "Good, soon I will be able to really research them." She is wearing a robe with some runes on it, it seems she is a lower priestess.

>>163905
Your arrow flies, aiming for the priestess, but a guard gets in the way, it opens up and he inevitably breathes it in and passes out.
>>163906
You try to fly at them and do something impressive but are tackled by a bat pony guard, his hoof is at your neck and he takes a small knife out cutting your arms bit. (4 hits) "Leave us alone hypnosis magus!"
>>163907
You are, you stab one twice and the two push you away after that. The one you hit seems to be limping down, its leg is bleeding.
>>163913
You play a nice battle song, it inspires well enough. +1 to next turn.
>>163914
You try to do a dance, but find you don't have enough space. You are quickly met with a dark energy ball in your face 1 hit.

>>163927
You fail to get free, he cuts you again, but in your struggle its a much deeper wound, blood oozes out at first and then just leaks all over the floor, you think you can see bone. The bat pony looks surprised. "S-stop or I'll do more!" you take-1 hit -1 wound.
>>163926
The priestess didn't see it coming, you hit her right in the gut with your hoof hard and she is doubled over in pain and falls to the ground.
>>163930
You attempt is met by a ball of dark energy, its nearly as big as you are! It knocks you back and hard! you slam into the wall. 3 hits
>>163931
You shoot the one that was injured earlier, it can't run away, can't move, or even thing as the arrow sinks into her skull leaving a small trail of blood on her forehead. She falls to the ground, dead..
>>163936
You try to get over there and hack and slash like a mad man, you are interecepted by the remaining Bat Pony guard as he stabs your side. You are able to hit him with your second blade making him hurt as well. You take 4 hits.

Your pet attacks the priestess that is still standing, she screams and kicks as it is attacking her. it seems her robe is getting torn up.

"Your lady is a false god!" The guard slams into you and slashes you with a small sword but your armor takes the hit.
>>163961
she is
The bat pony on top of her jumps over to you and cuts you skin. "You shall not win!"
>>163962
They don't seem to want to hear that.
>>163963
She is a little scratched up but not too bad. "I will do no such thing fair tongued warlock!"
>>163965
You hit your self in the arm, and cry a single tear. one hit.
>>163967
You get up just fine now that the bat pony is off of you, but oh, no! Its on Allegro!

"F-fine!" She indignantly calls out to them. "Seize attacking the ponies!" They obey her, even though they are a little unsure.
>>163980
You head butt the bat pony and it staggers back dizzy.
>>163981
You are having a bit of trouble from the blood loss and stumble crashing into the wall.
>>163982
You shoot him in the shoulder while he is dizzy.
>>163983
You double hit him, and he fall to the ground bleeding profusely, he seems just barely alive and won't be getting back up.

He doesn't accept your help, weakly pushing your hoof away.
>>163995
"T-there are some others, they are twenty in the mine including us.. "
>>164000
She looks like your words hurt her. "I have to be protective, its true that your skills of the tongue are superb."
>>164002
You twist your ankle. 1 hit.

No, she doesn't understand, she thinks you are just very good lairs, but seems to believe you don't want to kill. "Then let me tend to my wounded I can heal them. If you tell the others 'Twilight Groves' they won't try to kill you, but will question you. Is this acceptable?"

"I am absolutely in a place to judge! You're as evil as they are, you just wrap it all up in a lot of words that don't mean anything. Just be glad that Pegavillage needs you, or I'd turn you into the guards right away!"
>>164029
"So, what, we go down there, they 'question' us, and then what happens? We're surrounded by hundreds of pissed off nightmare-worshippers."

"Chiro?! " she grumbles a bit at the idea. "I don't have anything to say to that traitor, and you say Alphonio is with you now? Where is he?"
>>164033
She looks at you suspiciously but starts healing her wounded. A dark energy comes from her, but its different than before, and it swirls to the various cuts and wounds, Their wounds start to close, and she even heals Asioso as well. She looks sadly at the one dead priestess, it seems she is going to try resurrecting it, she is drawing some kind of circle.
>>164036
"Very well then."
>>164041
"That's the idea, or you could not go. " she kind of shrugs and goes back to work, finishing up the circle and removing the arrow from the dead one's head.
'1d10' to see if she succeeds.

The chant to night mare moon succeeds, and the fallen priestess's chest starts to rise and fall, the wound on her forehead is healed, and her leg is still messed up, she might never be able to walk properly again, but she's alive and seems grateful.
>>164053
Both priestesses answer in unison as if it was memorized. "We were promised that we could wield such powers as she would allow, that we would help bring the world to order, and that we could live forever with her in the eternal night, and sheltered under her wings. The was the promise she gave us when we were made, this is the honor we keep."
>>164056
"I do not wish to talk with him, but you are welcome pegasus."
>>164054
"You are welcome, it was the honorable thing to do after all."
>>164058
"I might wish to have words with him."

The 'order' she brings will be nothing but death. Your eternal lives will be nothing but prolonged death, you will not think, feel any sort of joy, sorrow or emotion. You will be forever unchanging in an eternal dark, condemned to an unliving state that can barely be called 'life'. Do you want this?"

>>164066
She shakes her head, trying to block out your words, but you can tell they make an impact. >>164067
"Alright then I shall go there once the others wake up." she motions to eh knocked out ponies.
>>164068
She rolls her eyes a bit as you look around. You see the way you came from, and the tunnel here does seem to go down further, its unclear how far down.
>>164069
She stops for a second as if considering it, and then closes her eyes and keeps checking on her underlings. She doesn't seem to have a proper response this time

The cave glows slightly around you. The glowing is coming from crystals in the wall, they are pulsating various shades of blue, both bright like a star and dark like the night.
The defeated priestess cackles at this sight, clearly delighted. "Ha, my work here is done anyway. You sliver tongued ponies can't stop the glorious plan from coming to realization." Her underlings stand closer, one of them limping to her, they hold hooves, they do a chant in an old language. Dark energy rises up from the ground, centered where the runed circle is, the energy rises up and surrounds the group of bat ponies, taking them into the shadows.. You can hear the cackling fade away as the shadows completely disappear.
Chiro flies up to you catching his breath, his white armor shining in the dim light of the cave, and his gray mane dripping with anxious sweat, but his yellow eyes full of confidence. "We have to move now, they are activating the defenses of this site!" He raises up a blade as if he were commanding his own troops, then looks at your terrified and confused party. "I've just come back from the other path, it was a trap. I wasn't injured but I am sorry to have activated it.. I will let you decide. Shall you go on this path and face whatever lies ahead, or would you rather retreat and regroup?" Chiro looks at you, he dark wings folded down over his armor, providing a sharp contrast.. much like Chiro himself, his own dark past covered with a shiny new cause, its doesn't seem to fit, it feels a little off.

Our heroes stand with in the twisting tunnels of the fabled Crystal Caves, the magical crystals said to hold the power to change to course of events in favor of the Bat Ponies. The crystals with in the wall have come to life with activity, they are pulsating various shades of blue, both bright like a star and dark like the night sky. There are sounds like flapping and scraping echoing through out the tunnel. Chiro has informed the party that he was the one who activated the trap, and that time is growing shorter. With the evil magic growing stronger in this place, will the party go forward to stop it themselves, or retreat and get back up?
>>178794
You raise your hooves and hoist your short blade up in the air, and attempt to strike down this crystal, but it flashes a bright light and blinds you temporarily, you can almost feel the dark magic. You miss and strike only air, you blink to get you vision clear. and you are fine.
>>178798
You grab a crystal from the wall and pull as hard as you can but it doesn't come out. You get chills from touching it, and let go, stumbling backwards a step.
>>178796
You move deeper into the tunnel and the sounds of flapping grow louder, accompanied by a soft chanting.
>>178799
"I don't know how far they have gotten, but it certainly is possible that they have finished them." Chiro replies, his blade drawn and ready to strike.

>>178807
You listen closely but the sound seems to be coming from everywhere, the sounds seem to enter your very mind.. luckily you're brave and continue anyway.
>>178808
You can see the cavern's crystals are most clustered and larger up ahead, giving a more dense and more intense dark looking light, Its seems close to the shadow beasts you saw before. there is an end to your tunnel and it seems to be the source of the sounds.
>>178810
You hurriedly pull out your bow and arrow, and fire without looking. You miss just barely, the arrow is stuck in the wall above the crystal, you also remember that some were mined out already, and you could try to do something with those if you went back, or maybe try to pick one out, but there are crystals everywhere, you would have a lot of work to do.
>>178812
You follow along, prepared for whatever lies ahead.

You can see the end of the tunnel ahead, there the crystals ahead are grown in large clusters and are radiating a dark energy similar to what the shadow creatures are mad out of.
>>178831
>>178833
You can clearly see a few bat ponies in the next room, they seem to be a bit larger and are covered in shadow energy. The only part of their bodies not covered in shadow are their ears. They haven't noticed you yet and seem to be flying in a circle in a regular pattern.
>>178821
Chiro pats you on the shoulder. "Don't worry brother, you'll get it right."

You arrow meets its mark and explodes on contact, the cluster of crystals breaks apart with a loud shatter, leaving only tiny pieces that glow faintly but don't seem to be able to radiate shadow magic anymore.
Chiro smiles. "Nice shot kid!"
>>178843
You are ready, nothing can get past you.
>>178846
The dark energy swirls around him and seems to glow with it, but it fizzles out.
>>178845
The sunlight feels far away from you, you feel cool and lost.. your fear taking over.
The Bat ponies screech and come flying at your party. The sound of their flying is impressive, each one makes enough noise to account for three bat ponies and their size is about three times yours, when their shadowy forms fly over you they block out all light, and you feel like it could consume your entire being. there are six of these enlarged bat ponies coming toward you.
beat my roll..

You roll out of the way just as the bat pony swoops down, its enlarged and shadowy form swooping by you and you smash it with your mace. Its shadows break apart a little, allowing you to see that it has a normal bat pony underneath. They quickly reform and it hisses at you.
>>178850
Chiro is able to fly up and strike his bat pony, slicing through its shadows, they also reform.
>>178851
You fly up and meet the shadow filled bat, swiftly moving behind him and striking his back, you power thrust through the shadows, exposing the pony underneath. Your saber cuts his skin leaving a large gash and he bleeds red blood.
>>178853
The bat pony laughs at your attempt, he speaks into your mind "you will have to try harder to control my energy.." The bestial energy of it over whelms you and you snap out of your trance with him on top of you, and a scratch on your arm. 1 hit.
>>178854
You push the beast back, with holy light, making it cringe, its shadows flicker allowing you a glimpse of a bat pony, its eyes shimmering with hate, and its body radiating shadows. Its soon covered again.
>>178856
Your arrow lands, erupts into gaseous fumes, penetrating the shadow armor. the bat pony coughs and is forced to land, It screeches as if to keep itself awake.

>>178869
Your bolt fires and explodes leaving a thin green mist around the target. Its falls to the ground and can't seem to take off anymore. It sways a tiny bit but is still standing.
>>178871
That bat pony is on the ground now, you sail above it with ease, the gaseous toxin seems to be slowing its thinking down and it considers what you say for a moment. It will not be moving next turn.
>>178874
You cast your most powerful heal spell, but something is wrong, instead of being full of light the spell is infected with darkness, Khazard is hit with a full and painful blast, -1 hit

You back stab the other ground-bound shadow pony in a common weak point, its hind leg. The pony falls to the ground and is helpless as it bleeds from the deep wound.

Chiro thinks back, and recites something to himself in his own language. It has a certain beat to it, and some of the words rhyme, he moves his hooves along with the words,and then stops at a certain phrase. He frowns. "They must have activated the 'mother vane' to make the whole cave react like this, we'll need to find it to stop the process. "

Chiro slowly prods the party members awake. The cavern is still glowing quite brightly. When you open your eyes it nearly blinds you. Chiro looks quite concerned. "Are you feeling better brothers?" You can see behind him the six bats are still knocked out, they have each been hog-tied so they can't bring you any harm. Chrio looks now the tunnel with concern, the clusters of crystals blinking bright bluish colors, lighting up his face. "They must have someone powerful near the 'mother vein', we should proceed with caution."

You fill the wolf bones with an eerie presence, they rattle and shake as they come to life. He seems to almost growl as he follows you.
>>191331

The tunnel opens up into a large round room, Crystals in this area are quite large, some of the clusters being taller than you. You begin admiring their structures and forget to look where you are going. You bump into each other and fall down.

"Its the central vein that all these crystals are activated by. Its the best way to purify them, or corrupt them quickly. " Chiro explains "Its rumored to be protected by magic, some kind of test." The crystals seem to react to your minion, the strange liquid inside them turning darker.

The inky copies fight for a moment over who is going to touch your horn, and then all three meet your horn with their's, you feel a surge of energy knock you back, and they laugh at you before draining away. The color is gone from the blue crystal, and the door like shape in the floor opens into a short flight of stairs. These stairs are covered with a dark fabric, that shimmers and almost looks like it could move.

You examine them, and find that they are magical in nature, seeing them open into stairs probably tipped you off to that.

As you enter the stairs, they ripple and pull you along, you slip and tumble and they giggle at you. You land in a small square room, with a massive crystal embedded along the wall. You see before you a priestess kneeling and channeling some kind of dark energy into the giant vein. She turns to you, her mane is a light blue, her skin a gray color and her eyes glow a dark blue. "So you have arrived, I wondered if you would be allowed here.." She looks up and nods as if she heard something, "My mistress has a message for you." she pauses, taking a deep breath and her whole body shakes, her bat like wings unfurl, and the voice that comes form her tiny body is no longer hers, but a deeper echoing voice. "What you accomplished is a great victory for your sun, but It is in vain, for I must unite the sacred areas at all costs. You are not heroes when you stop us from this goal."
>>191437
"I am the true night spirit, eternal night is only one of my goals here, something you cannot comprehend is happening, do not interfere further" The impossibly imposing voice chastises you, and points at you as she speaks through the small framed bat pony priestess.

"What you ask would only increase the peril coming to your world, you can not comprehend my true mission, Do not interfere" A bit of dark lightening sparks off of her as she speaks.

You shoot an arrow at her, but she dodges it easily. "Fighting with you will prove nothing, Turn back now young adventure, and no harm shall come to you."

This is no hero's cause."
>>191454
You reach for another arrow and she seems outright offended by your further attempts. The priestess sends a black shadow bolt behind you, knocking down your arrow, and hitting the 'fabric' on the stairs. The fabric wiggles and raises up like an inky wave, it is about to fall on to the party if they don't move.
everyone dodge the ink wave.

You are taken by surprise and the inky wave buries you up to your neck. The black liquid moving around you actively resisting your attempts to get free.
The priestess seems utterly exhausted. "If you continue to resist my will, the whole world will stagnate, I am doing what must be done." The priestess collapses and her aura disperses into the air. Her robe is completely in shreds and she looks rather helpless for the moment.
Chiro is also buried in the ink, he doesn't seem to be resisting. "See how the power of the Goddess wears you down? I fear it will kill you.."

The priestess scowls at you. "Don't you want the world to be reborn in darkness?" a small spark come from her body and makes its way to the pile of ink, she makes an attempt to push the heroes out of the room. '1d10'

She is a little distracted but not enough to stop her.
>>191550
oh, sorry you are freed then. Cheap shot makes them helpless if you have an eight or better or start combat, so..
You punch her on the back of her head, and she stops casting, falling over and coughing. she glares at you and your friends at now at the top of the steps, but the ink has stopped moving and slides off of them.
Everyone is freed.

You fire your sharpened arrow at the priestess, despite interference from Allegro, it pierces her side, though not as painfully deep as it would normally go.
>>191562
she tries to block your strike with a dark energy shield, but you break through it and strike her forehead. causing her to stumble backwards, she sits down and tries to focus, holding her head in her hoof.
>>191566
She glares at you. "Were you not told to stop causing us trouble, clearly there is more to the master plan than just taking the world, and she shall reveal it in good time…"

So, last time on this channel: We discovered the location of the corrupted mother vein, and one of the ponies corrupting it. A darling little priestess, she was briefly possessed by the spirit of Night Mare Moon. The party spoke with her, and was confused and enlightened by her message. One eager pony tried to attack The spirit of Night Mare Moon and the party then struggled with a wave of inky shadows pushing them out of the room. This turned out to be too much stress on the Priestess's body and she collapsed, the empowerment of the night mare leaving her. She wasn't very helpful so far, even with certain ponies trying to seduce her for information.

"Oh, I do indeed know much including how to reverse it. I could tell you about the foolish Avia's plan to convert the town when we should have stayed focused here, its not like they can do anything to me either." She says with great vanity.
>>203474
She's completely healed, she even feels better than normal! What a nice pony you are using such a good heal on her. Her wings even look a little shinier, and perhaps she is smiling a bit brighter than normal.

nah, man why would you care what some hag thinks?
>>203479
"It works in mysterious ways. All you need to know is that I require them." She licks her lips a bit as she thinks, her hooves clinking against the crystal wall.
>>203483
"Silly pegasus, once the world is reborn you won't have to worry about that. You will have more plentiful riches than you can imagine. "

Her eyes widen as Cloudcaller's arrow shatters a nearby crystal its energy leaving with a hiss, and cloud of smoke. "Y-You are really breaking them?! O-okay, I cursed them to carry more dark energy. Normally they carry both kinds of energy.. this whole place is a hot spot for magical power because of it, but it was buried before and.. Just don't hurt any more of them.. I'll make them neutral again o-okay?!" She begs you with her voice and puppy dog eyes.

"Because, if you keep breaking them then magic will be harder to preform for decades! It would set us all back by years, we might even be dead by the time we can try again!" She covers her mouth with her hoof and glares at you, clearing thinking she spoke too much.
>>203523
Well, that was good but slow better try again.

Well, there we go. The darkness rushes from the mother vein and all around leaving the crystals in a hurry. The crystals are now blinking a happy sky blue. The darkness however is hoovering over the bat pony, making her look small. The energy attaches itself to the priestess, she gasps and breathes deeply her whole body glowing with the odd energy. "it has been done, now you barbarians can leave."

"Waat?! I merely did as you asked! That energy had to go somewhere." She hisses at you.
>>203539
"It is no risk when its is guided by the hand of my Goddess." She smiles "As far as the energy goes I'm just holding it for now.." she seems to be shaking a bit, perhaps it was too much at once?
>>203545
"Unhand me, traitor." She glares at his eyes but looks weak and doesn't struggle to get free. her voice drops to normal and she looses her aura. "Former Comrade, why do you do this?"

Damn those reflexes are good, you have him in a perfect position and spank away, he can't do much besides flail around.
>>203557
Looks like the mist from your eyes is in your way a bit, you stumble and can't get in between them.
>>203555
You can't hit someone in the face who is holding you over his knee apparently, bad angle or something.
>>203554
Chiro "Answer his question."
Priestess: "I-I'm sure I'll be fine."
Chiro glares at her hard "Be honest."
Priestess "The whole mine is clear now, you don't have to destroy it anymore.." she seems about to cry for some reason. "Please.. take me outside."

She falls silent at this surprised at your reasoning. "It.. was a lot to take alone.. and after being blessed by being the vessel of The Goddess, even for a moment.. I am ready for it.." you can tell she isn't, the tears give her away.
Chiro drops her in frustration. "I knew it " He punches a wall and turns back to the party. "Well, I suppose we should let her see the night sky at least.."

"The only way to save me now would be with another priestess, she would take some of the burden from me, but we haven't the time to find one."
>>203574
>>203571
"Ha, you were just ready to kill me a mere moment ago. The only sorrow you are feeling is that you didn't kill me yourselves." She snidely remarks at you. "But.. your kindness is not unnoticed. If you fly east of here you will run into Aria and her team of archers, She never really appreciated me.. Just bring me to the surface, and I will move on in peace."

She allows you to carry her. you can feel her heart beat slowing down.
>>203586
"It would probably become a foul beast without guidance, but I can't quite focus enough on my own."
>>203587
You assist Allegro in getting her outside.
Chiro follows along. "I will preform the rites for her."
As you arrive outside Chiro gathers a small bit of storm cloud shaping it into the crescent moon and marks a circle for her.
"Oh, so you do remember then.." She slides off of Allegro and steps into the circle, she begins to hum and Chiro sings for her. it sounds vaguely like a religious song, but really pretty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSfy7QN5krY
"It certainly is a good night for this.. So lovely.." she closes her eyes, her chest stops rising and her wings stiffen then fall flat. Her tears are gone, and there is a small smile on her face.

sorry x2
You can't seem to feel the sun, that moonlight looks awfully nice and warm thou.
>>203597
Chiro shakes his head. "Of, course not. We'll bury her here." He carefully moves her aside and begins to dig out the circle, with a shovel from the mine. He lays a couple down beside him as well in case you feel like helping him.

You see a bright light, a bright blue light the moon is standing out to you calling you.
>>203613
She is covered up now, nicely done.
>>203625
Chiro suggests. "Perhaps she was too weak from delivering the message. You saw what too much energy can do to someone. She was in no hurry to die for nothing."
>>203624
>>203626
"I will take on the honors.."
Chiro takes his own blade and writes. "Here lies the servant of The Nightmare. A Loyal Priestess to the end. She shines with the brightest stars now." He then draws a crescent moon
"Its a pretty standard one for those fallen in her name.."
>>203623
"Foolish child, when a solider falls you speak the rites of his god not your own."
Chiro steps back and sighs. "Let us begin." He starts the prayer, you can only understand a few phrases as it is thick in his old tongue, and well practiced.
"Have you anything to say before we depart?"

"I… I don't understand or support what she did and what she was trying to do, but… she really didn't seem to want anything bad to happen. She even sacrificed her own life to save those crystals… I forgive her."
I sniffle and walk over to Allegro, leaning in and nuzzling him.
>>203631
"For Celestia's sake! Shut. Up!"

"For Celestia's sake! Shut. Up!"
Chiro calls down his group of Bat Ponies in their shining white armor. A few get to work on the crystal cavern, making sure all the ponies and diamond dogs you knocked out before are now outside before closing it up so no one can mess with it again.
They are to you ready to follow your next order.
>>203654
The Moon simply won't hear you now. look like you really pissed it off. The Sun seems to have come back into the picture for you, the Sun is a forgiving spirit after all, you've been such a lovely cleric for it. The Sun seems to tell you not to falter again or she will leave you to your own devices.

"Old enough to recognize that offering prayers to an evil goddess helps her. Wake up and realize what we're fighting here, dingus! This isn't a fight against a bunch of bullies — we're fighting a GOD, okay? A GOD. A god that wants to KILL ALL OF US. And offering her support — even if it's just one little prayer — isn't doing us any favors. Get real. Or is that too 'simple' for you?"
"Maybe I'm not the most worldly or sophisticated pony — maybe I only started this because I wanted to save my village — but I seem to be the only one here who recognizes that we're not playing a freaking game here. We're fighting a war called 'Good versus Evil,' and it's not time to start whining about niceties when the stakes are that HUGE."

Chiro responds to you "I'll take point, and one of you carry Khazard."
Khazard has obtained a personal bat pony escort to allow him to fly along with the group.
The bat ponies fly to the east their dark wings blending in with the sky and the play group is near the front with Chiro. Its not long before you see a dark cloud and an arrow flies into your group.

Your arrow knocks a few out of the sky and they seem shocked.
The fly down in a circle each getting a look at the situation. They see their leader disarmed, telling them to surrender and they obey. each laying down their bow in front of them.

Arioso is alright maybe a scrape from an arrow,
Avia has several wounds, couple arrows in her, and is bleeding. She isn't dying yet, but isn't getting up either.
>>203828
"No, its just to expand our following" she answers in an even tone.
'1d10' to see if any of her so called army tries to rescue her right now.

She nearly laughs in your face. "Is that what you and the old fool believe? The Goddess of Eternal Night taught us that the world will be reborn, and nature along with it. everything will be as it should be."
Chiro snorts in retort of this. "I am not an old fool, you are simply blind."
>>203862
"Then take us prisoner, or kill us if you dare." she replies darkly to you.
>>203864
"Oh.. Elline has gone to meet the other world ahead of us.. Thank you, for telling me, that must mean you subdued the others in the mine as well." She sighs, "That means we failed her.."

She curses to herself. "I should have listened when Elline said they were onto the real site.. and now we've lost both her and the holy site.."
>>203884
Well, Avia is not a spell caster, and gagging yourself while making your teammates happy certainly isn't helping with the situation. Avia seems to giggle at you, what nerve!

You have traveled to the nearest city capable of guarding Avia and fighting off her flight. A place known as Talon Fort, its well secured by griffons who have lived here for ages. They have a large keep, bustling city and thriving trade business. You can find many kinds of pony here, and they can find you as well. In any case the party sits just outside of Talon Fort, and Avia is bound wand floating in a 'cloud cage' with four of Chiro's bat ponies around her. Over looking the city you can see just how massive it is. The structures are all squarish with slanted roofs, and vary in height from barely above the ground to towering into the sky. The Keep is the most impressive, a large stone castle, with multiple towers.

They turn to each other.
"We've heard about that."
"Yeah, those nightmare cultists."
"Bring her with us."
The two griffons guide you to the keep, the curious crowd forming a tight circle around you only giving your berth because of the guard's shouting at them. Once past the gates the crowds are no more and you move past the great halls and over to the dungeons.

"All the more reason to be cautious. We'll alter the Captain that we have an important prisoner. You came to the place."
>>215100
Chiro helps them lock her into an empty cell then the two guards face your party. "You are the ones who saved Pegavillage? The captain wanted to speak with you, if you came by. I'll show you to him."

"About how serious the threat is. We received word of your victory in Pegavillage, but no one seemed to have many details about the cultist. What little we learned he wanted to make sure you knew." They guide you into a large round near the center of the keep. The room, has larger table with a map on it, and the room is lined with books. There is a Griffon pacing over the map, he looks quite stressed out.
"Sir, we've brought the heroes, and they brought us a captive. We already dropped her off at the dungeon."
The captain drops down and eyes Chiro hard.
Chiro stands respectfully to side. "I am a former leader of the cultist, I am here to help."
The captain ruffles his feathers and continues to the party. "Please come in."

Chiro replies accordingly as well. "Indeed captain, you are quite intuitive to figure that much out. six points must be controlled… " Chiro goes on to point them out.
"Fascinating.. " He look it over and nods.

He laughs "I've heard that you all are full of diverse talents, so I mean to deffer to my own advisers on each matter. They have each chosen who they wanted to meet with, your names do proceed you."
He calls of the names from a list.
"Khazard, the necromancer, you are to meet with Glidridge. In the west section of the keep."
"Arioso, you are to meet with Madame Gray in the south tower.. "
"Allegro you are to meet with Graville the Wanderer.. He should be around in the dining hall drinking.."

After flirting with your mare you see an older pony with a lute in the dining hall he seems completely wasted and grins at you as you come in. "Hey, want to hear a story kid?"
>>215269
You enter the western side of the Keep, and get a strange feeling as you go there. The suits of armor seem to be watching, or is it the shadows? You can feel the presence of minions here. When you enter the last room, a shadow jumps up beside you and says 'WhOOooo' roll to see if you were surprised.

Nope, stiff as a bored. A smaller voice comes out from the shadows. "Oh phew, you're not fun at all!" A smaller Griffon appears beside a shadow of some kind. "You must really be as tough as they say not to scared by that." She says excitedly. "None of the chickens around her have that kind of nerve. I'm Glidrigde, Its nice to finally meet you Khazard." she extends a claw to you.
>>215289
He chuckles to himself. "Splendid, Splendid! I'll tell you a classic tale of woe. A tale of hope, and of love." He recites a version of beauty and the beast lets see how well he did '1d10'
>>215286
She is in the southern tower, the tower has a lovely garden and smells like roses. The inside is just as nice as any fine home you have been too. There is a sound of music coming from the other room and you can hear someone dancing. Its is a lovely griffon, she has a body that almost makes you envious, prefect feathers, those legs, and that wonderful grace.. the men you could get with that body..

He looks you over. "Are you a stallion of faith? We have many churches in this city, all willing to help if I request it of them, perhaps you are a naturalist? Many trackers are, we have a few Shamans in the area.. Of course I train my guards as knights.. Whatever you find more to your style."
>>215321
"Oh, gosh! You're a bit bigger than I imagined, not worry though we can still equip you. Don't be scared now.. " She brings you over to a chest full of bones. "Do any of these call out to you Khazard?"
>>215323
"Oh, I just wanted to advise you.. you have the art of deception do you not?.." She slowly opens a small case, revealing fishnet stockings "These are enchanted stockings. They are made just for ponies, and I think they will serve you well in battle."

He seems amused enough by it, he laughs and then leans in. "Son, I've collected a lot of stories. over the years.. I want a young bard like you to carry on making the stories come to life." he takes out an old warn looking book, its bound with leather and has a heart on it. "This book is nearly magic, its landed me more than a few mares in my time." he says with a toothy grin. "Its even got some pages in the back still so you have room to grow."

"Its just east of the keep, facing the sun. Tell them Captain Grizzle Tail sent you."
>>215349
She waves her hooves "Not precisely, just to give you an edge. If you wear these, they won't expect how harsh your thrusts are, an advantage for one like us, and you need all you can get out there.." She seems pretty sure it will help you.
>>215369
Unfortunately nothing stands out, they all look the same to you, no souls seem to be attached to them right now, at least not any you want to be associated with.
"Oh, nothing yet dear? Its fine, I'll just go on to tell you.. You get to wear these bones! I know its amazing right?! So you pick anywhere you want to have it, or I can make you some armor out of a bunch of bones since you don't seem to like any of them really particularly.."

I take them from her and put them on.
"It's worth a try, I suppose. Thank you, Madame.
Um… if it isn't too much hassle, I don't suppose you could show me a few pointers on dancing? You have a really beautiful form and fluency to your dances, and… I'd really like to hear what you have to say."

He laughs and slaps his pony knee, "Oh, that's a good on lad! I know that book is in the right hooves with you know." I don't think I've ever seen someone grin that much, "Kid, let me buy you a drink, you deserve it.." He brings you a pint of ale, and slips a lucky charm into your hoof.

" he step back and describes a scene from the holy book. "…when Celestia struck down the Nightmare her light shone brightly, forcing the dark mare into the void of the moon's face… So, as you can see. Celestia, both showed judgement and mercy when appropriate.. Her sister Luna sits by her as proof of this wisdom.."
>>215399
you do decently enough. "that's enough for now, you must be tired from your trip. Your hooves are showing it a bit, and you need to angle your wings a bit more on the arches. You really do have talent Arioso." She assures you. "You're going to do well out there."
>>215400
She seems almost excited about the idea "Oh, that's a brilliant plan! You aren't a hero for nothing are after all! now the question is, how do you want to wear it?"

You see a nice looking shop, and peer into the window. They have some diamond jewelry on display, looks expensive..
>>215420
"Oh, yes. yes, a rib bone would work, very sharp if you want to implant it. More direct connection that way, or we can make into a head piece, a necklace, or.. anywhere it will touch yer skin really!"

Captain Grizzle Tail has sent you to see Madame Grey, you are at her tower. Her lovely rose garden greeting you with flavors and then the inside of the tower is quite fancy. The red drapes might be a bit much you think. You see a lovely lady Griffon doing some stretches, her body is aglow with sweat and this only improves her 10/10 body.
>>215445
There is a large room with at least ten rows of pews. You see a Griffon in Celestial armor bearing the symbol of the sun on it. She seems to be looking over some notes. "Greetings, may the light of Celestia guide you!" She greets you warmly.

You get close to one of the clocks just as it strikes twelve, a little griffon comes out and scares you half to death with a crowing sound. "Miss its only a-" too late, you have already tumbled back wards and landed on a cabbage stand. roll to see how bad the damage is.
>>215435
sorry, thought I replied to it already
"Oh, to your horn? A bold move, but powerful." She nods and springs to action. "Yes, Just hand me the bone, I'll apply the medicine to make you feel it less, and then.. you'll become better than ever!" She says with glee.
>>215450
She looks surprised but happy. "Well, to be a part of our order you must look to Sun Goddess, I see you have a book, are you a new convert and a new recruit? Most blessed day indeed!" She gives you a hug. "Welcome home child, My name is Gilded Wing, I will guide you on your journey.."

I tell her all about our current quest, the batponies, and what I've seen and done.
"The priest said I should strive to remain both just and merciful while we try to maintain law and order. Do you have any other advice? How do I stay on Celestia's path?"

"Celestia has set up the laws to help you with that very thing. Law and order are maintained though words first, written words or spoken words, Then you follow through with your actions, striking down the wicked and disorderly when they do not listen to words. You must strive not to kill them unless you have no alternative, for this the mercy part.. You turn them over to the law, and leave them with their lives and a chance to face justice." She speaks as clearly as possible about this.
>>215458
You manage to only knock the cart over a bit, still spilling some, the owner seems quite distressed over it.
>>215465
She hands you a small box. "Inside is something that will improve your form and grace in the air, and make your much more sneaky."
>>215463
She seems to have crashed into a cabbage cart.

You focus a little too hard and over charge the bones with energy, the wolf rises and leaps at you only to be held in place by shadows. "Whoa! Khazard! That's too much darkness!" she chants 'focus' at you in several tongues to help you calm down.
>>215492
"Its form fitting nature helps the most, the enchantment is in how not matter what you can get a easy strike it, a good advantage if you take it."

>the enchantment is in how not matter what you can get a easy strike it
Does that mean it makes it easier to hit stuff, or is it harder for stuff to hit me?
I drape the one I was examining across my back before shutting the box and bowing to her.
"Thank you for your generosity, madam. Is there a private place where I may change into one of them? It is an odd question, I know."

I'm really trying to describe the effect you both wanted in the document, apparently doing a shitty job.
"Sure, you can use the prep room. " she points you to the left there is a small room with a mirror and some costumes and make up inside.
>>215508
You raise up your familiar bone minion he wags his tail at you and seems more energetic than usual.
"Oh, perfect! You really are amazing!" She is nearly squeaking. "Just look at that spirit, he's marvelous!"

They are leotards that count as light armor and have the Fishnet Stockings bonus, right? I already had a nice set of leather armor so I'm just trying to hold on to my current armor value.
"Thank you."
I go inside and shut the door. After that I take everything off and put on my leotard.
'1d10 to see if I can get over how ridiculous I look.

Gilded Wing smiles at you. "Its simple, you have to feel the power of Celestia, the righteousness of your cause, and then channel it into your voice. Here, this will help." She gives you a pendant of Clesestia's Cutie Mark. "This is a blessed catalyst it will allow you to channel your energy as a holy warrior."

"I- I know what you must be thinking right now… how much of a terrible pony I must be… a- and how much you want to call me all those… nasty things about… ponies like me."
I keep staring at the ground, more tears slowly starting to appear.
"I'm so sorry… I'll- I'll pay for the bracelet a- and the flowers a- and… I'm so sorry…"
Can I even contain my tears?

Glidridge cackles a bit and quickly replies. "Oh, it was easy when I became an orphan I did it do reach my parents, I cost myself years and devoted them to study. I wasn't so gifted you see, it was many tries before I could master it, but now I am the greatest in whole city, and an official adviser here. "

She seems to understand you meaning. "Oh, its delicate art, but one worth mastering. You must be in an area with the spirit you are trying to interact with first off. Well.. the first thing would be the victim has to be dead.. But you probably guessed that.." She raises a pile of bones into a small bunny. "See, this was cotton tail, he's been dead a long time but I can still reach him.." "If you advance in your studies you can even learn to bring back the recently departed. "

"I'm just saying that I've come to terms with why all of you stood by while Nox tortured that bat pony priestess, among other things. It's not that you're all phonies or hypocrites — you're just sinners, who don't know the light of Celestia's path yet. Here, Gilded Wing gave me some literature." I give you some brochures.

He drops he salute after a minute. "Oh the scroll." he unfurls it and looks a bit confused then turns it upside down. "You are formally requested to.." He frowns and tries to look closer at it but tears the scrolls in half. "Oh bollocks.. there's a meeting in the war room about us, Chiro wants you there." He smiles a bit awkwardly and stuff the torn scroll away.

"Right this way then.." He guides you into the tall stone keep, which is swarming with bat ponies and griffons alike. They are about in every room you pass, comparing notes, playing cards, and sparring. You reach the top of the stairs and he opens some double doors. At the table you see Captain Grizzle Tail, the small necromancer Glidridge, Chiro, and a Diamond dog. They are greet you with a cheerful wave. "Please join us." Grizzle tail say to you.

"I was worried, but the situation is much better than I had hoped, Chiro has told me all about the large blows you have already dealt to the summoning mission, and we've even picked up a tip to where they are now." He conveys this with pride.
>>219665
>>219666
>>219668
He points with his talon on the map. "We have new reports of them working on a storm tower here, and it lines up with Chiro's story about the old peace tower."

Grizzle tail looks to Chiro and nods. Chiro rises, his grayish mane looking almost regal. You can tell there is something on his mind. "Brothers, you can leave in the morning, there isn't any need to rush this.. The reports say there are only a couple dozen and they are not wearing the Northern Wing's Traditional armor, but some kind of runed pattern on their armor. We have a proposal…" He look you all over left to right. "My flight would like to stay here and train with the local knights, they have quite the renowned swordsmanship skills, and there is much we can gain by learning from Captain Grizzle Tail. there are risks of leaving your small group alone out there, if they happen to be aligned with Tilo things could go badly.. So what do you think?"

"Tilo is a brave warrior of Nightmare, he was a master of heavy armor and taught the secrets of making and wearing it to his underlings. They are just as agile as anyone else in that stuff and its thicker than Tilo's head. The stubborn old fool always did things his own way, it took three priestesses to heal him one time because he insisted on being let back into the fight.."
>>219714

"I knew you would be up to the challenge!" He thinks for a moment. "I'll certainly miss being in your company, but I should really stay with my men.."

"So much of a gentlecolt… I wouldn't be against you laying a hoof on me later though… if you know what I mean~"
>>219734
"So we're going to have to use alternative tactics to get to his men? Since they have all that fancy armor and stuff…"
I get up and walk over to Chiro and give him a quick hug.
"I'll certainly miss you too… it's not like we wont' see each other in the future though, right?"
I smile at him and return to my seat.

>>219741
"thank you brother, My blades were the best in the land, but that was long ago. I assure you I will come back with an army larger and more honed, if you should need it."
Grizzle Tail nods in agreement.
>>219744
He hugs you as well. "It will be a challenge, I'm not certain if you will encounter him or not. My suggestion is to get him to duel you. He never could resist a duel, though he might have his own rules on it.. And yes, you will see me. I'll be here if you need me, or if I get word of something big I'll come with my best men. "

You have a bit of trouble downing it, and sputter a bit. The taste is pretty bad to you, and you can't seem to get rid of it. On the bright side you see the ladies have moved on to the dance floor. There is a group of three, and several paired off with each other. You could probably find any race you were wanting to dance with.
"Are you a new recruit then? Celebrating the position with your first drink hon'?"
