A quick recap:
You've been transformed into seaponies for the duration of three days. You've had quite the busy first day, you arranged a peace talk between the shark ponies and the sea ponies, uncovered a plot to spoil the peace talks by spiking their dinner with cursed blood to induce a blood rage. You now have captured the seapony spiking the food red-finned.
Other things: As you were exploring you also picked up a new member; agreed to investigate a gang of bandits that follow a mobster lobster and hang out in some kind of cave system; you discovered an island full of dragons, which is being suppressed and controlled by some kind of undying dragon with a means of commanding the others, you rescued 8 of the eggs total, 7 land dragon eggs and 1 sea serpent egg (accompanied by a baby sea serpent).
Current: Its getting close to time for the dinner, you've got a captive to interrogate and might want to tell Prince Daniel something.

"Well… I guess we did stop him in time before he drugged all the food, but…"
I'll look around the kitchen.
"There's no way the chefs can replace the tainted food in time!"

I'll shake my head.
"Down here, getting called a sharkblood means that you're a brute, or stupid, or just plain violent. It's not something you say to ponies you want to be on good terms with."

To make things more clear for those trickling in: you have dragged the queen's guard: your captive: over to another room. The cooks are still in the kitchen cleaning up the mess and prepping new food, and Prince Daniel is presumably waiting back at his throne room.
>>447947
He looks at you as if you've lost your mind "Why should I Sharkblood? Does it make you angry, are you going to attack me?"
>>447949
"Of course I know why I was sent, what fool doesn't know his own mission?"

You drag him off to the throne room, and Daniel's two lobster guards seem to be on alert and examine the prisoner.
Daniel looks surprised "What.. this is Cloephin's guard isn't it?" He frowns "What happened Swiftfins?"
"What happened is that I was caught doing my job."
"Which was.."
"Showing you how unstable your new friends really are."
Daniel sighs and looks to you "Well, he's not the talkative type I take it?"
>>447972
you swim around in a circle looking for a good place to hide and a lobster guard tabs you on the shoulder "What are you doing? Is.. blood in that bag?"

He picks up a long spear, the tip glowing with a yellow spark, and swims up toward up the stairs to the fancy door belonging to Cloephin. It is unguarded and Daniel pushes it in easily. "Hello, Auntie. We need to have a word"
>>447995
You are a but a shadow among many. None could pick you out for certain.

I will be here as well, waiting to strike. Surely she doesn't deserve your usual mercy Rhodan?

Reposting here too many people will be absent so I'll have to postpone until next week. Sorry.
The white light from the queen's horn set the room a glow. "Welcome dearest nephew, how goes the preparation for the meeting with those be- I mean Sharkponies?"
Daniel's own eyes lower "You know exactly how it is going Aunt Cloephin."
"Oh?"
"Yes, your guard was caught red-finned trying to sabotage the meal."
"Well, that is a problem.. I guess there's no point in playing the foolish old woman anymore." she smirks and sings the notes of a song, apparently it was some kind of signal as serval ponies emerge from the shadows to swim at her side "There are my followers, the Dark Echo I call them, we wanted to take over properly, but this will have to do.. Shame that that shark envoy went insane killed you.."
Spirit staggers backwards "What?! But I!"
Queen Cloephin "Yes, its even more of a shame that I wasn't able to save the city's favorite prince… Oh well, at least I can get revenge.."
Prince Daniel falls down in pain as a seapony dressed in all black appears beside him. "You traitor!"
you may roll your actions, the queen and 6 guards are present. Ebony is available to heal.

"You did good, Cloud. Do you still have enough of those sleep arrows? I bet the crystal seapony can make you mare if you are running out. Maybe she can enchant my knife too."
>>451539
How many of those sleep arrows do I have left? I have the trick shot, too, but I mean the ones I use with the marksman shot.
"Yeah, that might be a good idea."
I hug her back.

He was not exactly helping him be moved, but yes he is in the same room.
"I should have her killed.. but for now I'm going to rest and then go to that dinner. She can wait until the morning."
>>451534
"Yeah, but still… to think she's been planning this for tide knows how long.."
>>451538
"You're right of course. I'm sure my people will rally behind me against any more of these dark echos."
>>451535
they nod "We expect that Daniel will execute them soon enough anyway. Does he require his medic?"

he smiles and his old medic floats in and talks to ebony
"Um, I healed him, but he's lost a fin, I'm sorry."
"Ah, don't worry lass I've versed myself in healing, I can cast a powerful enough spell to regrow this."
"G-great!"
"Yes, I'll see too it that you're properly rewarded once the dinner is over, you will be attending, won't you Alecrus?"

I'll take a deep breath, and then smile.

"Oh no no no no, I couldn't! I couldn't possibly! What if I spill something on them, or or…"

the closet is full of various fancy outfits, the colors and patterns are many.

you locate her workshop, a large shell shaped structure with a crystal door.

Of course you do, there is an outfit here that sparkles in a similar way to your scales it would probably enhance the effect. "To be honest my aunt picked out many of these outfits, so I'm happy to get rid of any that you find suitable." he sees you eyeing that outfit "Yes, that's something called glitterweave, supposed to be the only outfit you'll ever need, ha! I only used it once, a bit flashy for my tastes."

"Yes, the enemy has been cleaned up" Doppel says

"Yes, but in a way I'd have rather avoided. They threw themselves at us with no regard to their own lives. I know Sharks are strong, but those seaponies must still have been dangerous."
"Still, do you think we can have the Sharks and Seaponies agree to peace, even after all this?"

"we could find out, test it out a bit, don't you think we could use that creature for target practice?" he points at the hermit crab.

"By the tides, would you look at that!"
I'll swim to and fro for a moment, and then stop.
"I've gotta show Ebony!"
I'll almost reach the door before stopping.
"No, wait, what am I doing? I'm acting like some love-starved guppy fresh from the school. Calm, collected."
I'll take a few calming breaths, and then go look for the other party members. Ebony will see the robe at the dinner, and I can make an entrance! A fabulous entrance, just like in the books!

your attack seems charged with static electric energy perhaps a weak boost, the color changes to green.
"No, I will not return to that void." the doppel says firmly resisting your attempt to dispel him.

She nods "mind your head on the way out, I've got a crystal sting ray floating about here somewhere."

"I'll certainly try to keep in touch, I'm told the seagulls make it far inland, so I could send you word that way. Red here is only so fast." the hermit crab shakes his claw disapprovingly "Well, if you really want to risk going up there and delivering a message yourself.. " Red curls up into his shell.

"By the way, I have found a more permanent version of that transformation spell."

Let's head off into town, and look for what the sea ponies use for art and other purposes. We'll get used to the brush by using it in our duties to map and catalog what we've found under the waves.

Still, I'm surprised to see a book store of all things under the sea, especially after all that I heard has happened."

I accept the money and swim outside.

She has the pearl things near the front and watches as you look them over. "Let me know if you need help." the prices on these are outrageously high, the cheapest is 230 sand dollars for a bracelet, and the longer the strand of pearls the more expensive it is. but its easy to see why, these are real pearls and they are the prettiest thing you've seen under the sea yet, the way the light catches them makes them shine in the most pleasant manner.

I'll cock my head a little curiously.
"You don't use sand dollars? That's the common currency for seaponies."
I'll think a second.
"Oh, and when I say sand dollars I don't mean the ones that are like these," I'll hold out one of my sand dollars. "I mean it's a type of coin that we just call sand dollars. You can usually get them by selling things in the market, or just working at any place that will pay you in more than room and board."

"But! I'm not just going to let this opportunity swim away! When they go back up to the surface, I want to go with them."

"Then you'll want to accent her. The dress is already taking center stage, you have to remind all the other sea ponies that she's there too. So taking into account that she's green and blue, white is neutral and stays out of it, and that she likes to wear yellow, we can see that a red or orange would stand out more. Not only would it highlight and contrast her colors, it would even function like a flag and call attention to her if she wears it on yellow. What do you think?"

"Shopping for someone special?" She shows you a few more necklaces "Do they like cool colors like blue? Maybe this nice jade is what you want?"
>>455173
"I've been able to electrically charge a gem and make that its 'heart' but its been.. rough at best."
>>455172
"Well, that can be arranged for sure! You know.. Rhodan asked me to come along back with you guys but I just.. I can't leave at a time like this.."
>>455174
the nod to each other.
Spot: "Well, she would probably like that.. Thanks, you can have something from the shop at a discount for your help!"
Speckles nudges him
Spot continues "Uh.. on us.. that is.. We really mostly sell art supplies, like paper, and paint."

I'll ponder a minute.
"I can see why you'd say that. I mean, the sharks are going to need an ambassador, after all! Someone who knows their customs, how to deal with both sides of the tide pool, all that fun stuff. But if you stay, who casts the spell? Can it be taught?"

She smiles. "I'll wrap it up for you then." she places it in the box and wraps it up neatly with ribbon. "She must be a lucky mare." the shopkeeper comments. you wound up with a few coins of change, 30 sand dollars.
>>455177
"Their unicorn Anya picked up on the basic spell well enough, I'm sure she can do the improved version too.. but also. Its not required for me to transform to use the spell, only the target is changed… No, in fact, if I was the only one who could cast the spell I wouldn't be able to go at all! "

"Usually it only works for a moment before stopping, rare cases it will explode, but ever since I stopped using jelly fish bodies an insulators that problem has stopped. The worst this model has done has zapped me, an expected effect of using eclectically charged crystals to power it."

"Thanks, it's just what I was looking for originally. I'll tell you, it's really nice that you were thinking of your mother, ties like that are important. Even in dreams they are hard to forge."
Let's get just a little of each and get started on drawing some parts of the city.
"Just like these two siblings, the Queen may have wanted what was best for others and disagreed with the Prince, but she went about it the wrong way. When I gathered the facts about their mother, I was able to offer ways to help the siblings. If I had forced myself like you might have preferred, they would have rejected my offer without the backing of facts. When it came to the Queen, we still had to find out exactly why she did things, so that's why I had to settle on stopping the Queen and her guards. In the Queen's case, her fate is in someone else's paws after we got all the details."

"Then… Then maybe I could learn it too! And I'd be able to go to and from the surface whenever I'd want!"
I'll swim about excitedly for a moment.
"Do you think I could get her to teach me? Or if you've got the notes, I could study them? I mean, this is an amazing spell you cooked up! Just think of what it would mean for both ourselves and the surface! We could actually trade with the surface ponies for materials and information! I mean, the world you opened up… It's the whole world!"

you begin painting and the seaponies take some notice of your work looking over your shoulder. The paintbrush lends itself to this task adjusting its tip to what you want it to be, and showing you the exact color you are using curiously it stays green once the paint is gone.
>>455185
"I tried letting it run on the current itself, but that only worked when there was actually a strong enough current and not everywhere."

"Sure, I gave Anya notes already I wouldn't mind telling you how its done. But I don't know about a whole new world opening up, I'd rather stay under the sea myself, I've seen what some ponies will do when threatened.. in my days holding up ships, and its not always pretty, friends throwing each other over board as bait for my sea serpent so they could survive.. of course i wasn't necessary, I just wanted their food"

Then he adds "Well, in many ways, it a lot like here. What that Queen Cloephin did wasn't pretty, and some of the sharks have done some regrettable things to gain a bit more than they needed.." spirit looks over to red "And if they make things that Red finds interesting.. and those land ponies trying to help us.. well, I guess if things were different I might consider it"

>>455187
>>455188
I'll pout a little.
"But things don't just become different if we wait for them to change! We've gotta go out there and change them! I mean, look at what you've already done. You managed to talk the sharks into agreeing to meet with the prince. That's already going to change so much! As for the land-ponies, well, if Odie and her friends are any indication, then we should be able to get along with them pretty well too!"

The night has finally come. Prince Daniel sits at the head of the table, His outfit seems little more than a reorganized flag, a Green and White striped Cloak, with a regal crown on his head. Ebony sits to herself, she is wearing a purple dress, and her mane is done up in a bun with a shell as a bow. Spirit simply has a bow tie, and is standing to the side looking behind the door way. A few guards are posted at the entrance wearing an ornate version of their normal armor. A small seapony with a fluffy collar speak. "Now entering, the Royal Ladies." They part and let a a stream of fancy ladies flow in, each one being announced as they swim to a seat.. "Lady Camille, Lady Cassandra, Lady Ciel, Lady Cinder, Lady Cloe.." A total of twelve come in, all equally fancy, and pretty.. they take up a whole end of the table. A few wink at the party.
"The Guests of Honor will now enter." Spirit is seen waving and two handsome white colored shark ponies, wearing matching blue bow ties, swim to a seat near the front, looking rather impressed by the ladies. "Lex and Leon!"
Soon after swims a big and strong looking shark, he wears no bow tie, and looks hungrily at both the lavish meal and the fancy ladies.. "Blood Fin." the announcer says. He smirks and finds a seat next to Ebony Heart, as was promised to him earlier.

"Acting as official translation specialized. Spirit Fang." the announcer says and spirit swims to the seat reserved for him right near Leon, Lex and Daniel. Prince Daniel speak loudly "Welcome all, and please enjoy the meal."
Lex and Leon smile "Indeed, it all looks.. marvelous" the turn to spirit to be sure they are using the word correctly, spirit nods eagerly. They grabs some rare looking fish, and begin to chow down. Blood Fin copies them, but eats much sloppier. Daniel just grabs a few shrimps for now.

There are a few servers swimming by if you desire, it is acceptable to grab what you like if its close enough to you. "What may I get you Lady Oddette, a bit of seaweed salad?"
>>460537
A fine choice.
>>460539
you are anywhere in the orange you like. I imaged Oddette as in that spot on the other side of Daniel. Close enough to hear everything and contribute.
>>460539
>>460540
>>460541
The food is all manner of selection of sea life, sea weed, and jelly fish, prepared in ways that are strange, yet amazing. The most popular dish seems to be a jellyfish gelatin, is shaped like small shells and you can see bits of something floating inside. its surprisingly sweet.
>>460543
You start with the appetizer foods, the sea weed salad, using the proper utensil, and eating a bit at a time. you look so fancy that anyone could mistake you for royal blood.
Prince Daniel: "Was your journey here very hard?"
Lex: "No, it was easy actually, now that your men are not trying to kill us."
Daniel appears nervous at that: "Right.."

I'd like to be sitting across from Ebony.
Aren't books great. And there's even a lovely seamare across the table… no, focus on dinner. This fork with that food, that spoon with… wait, why would I need a spoon?
I know, conversation!
…would be great if I knew what to talk about.
"Say, Ebony, you look really nice in that dress. It really complements you."

>>460550
No need to roll, you can hear him just fine. He looks to be failing to even make small talk with the sharks.
>>460551
>>460548
Of course its good, it was made by the finest chiefs under the sea. how they manage to make things juicy underwater will remain a mystery but its wonderful.
>>460552
The sea weed is comparable to a slimy salad, and the jellyfish gelatin is sweet yet satisfying.
>>460553
Well there are the sharks, they are a warrior species, Blood Fin certainly is attacking that meal with gusto at least.
"The pleasure of having you here is unfathomable.."
Leon "Please, Daniel if you wish to ask something then do so."
"Well, what do you think of the city so far?"
L&L "I think it is a fortress, a save haven from the monsters, and that you have a display of impressive measures"
"So, would you consider joining such a place?"
"Joining, yes, we wouldn't be here if if wasn't our intent to discuss it."
Spirit looks to the party for help.

I'll smile at the compliment.

I'll turn to Daniel, Lex, and Leon.
"So, Prince Daniel, do we already have the buildings that the sharks could move into? Or were you going to wait until this has all been formalized to start construction?"
I'll smile at the compliment.

I'll turn to Daniel, Lex, and Leon.

>>460563
>>460562
>>460564
Spirit looks a little relieved, you can tell he is tense right now.
>>460563
>>460561
Daniel picks up on this "Yes, we have plenty of space for your kind here, you could move in if you find it agreeable."
"We might find that agreeable" they whisper to spirit.
Spirit "Lex and Leon wish to know what you might like in return for allowing them space in your city, and how much land you might allow them for hunting."
Daniel nods "I can allow the north western quarter for their homes, and for their hunting space.. how much do they need?"
L&L "We ask for 1000 leagues of hunting space to be split among our kind."
Daniel "That's quite the area, perhaps we can define exactly where those locations are, or you could share some hunting waters with my sea ponies?"
Leon "We like to have space when we hunt, its easier, safer, better."
Lex "What you still haven't said is a price of your own Daniel."
Daniel "I would like to enlist some of your kind of fighters against the monsters. I hear that you have those among you who can even tame them." he smile at spirit. "Such aid would be valuable, and our kind could become brothers by sharing the battle field."
Blood fin Cheers at the mention of battle "What monsters, when can Blood Fin Fight them?!"

Blood fin grins at you. "Maybe, Seaponies have a very nice lair. Make good fish, spicy. All new tastes for Blood Fin!" he viciously tears off a piece of meat from the fish and tosses it into his mouth. "Blood Fin loves to be a sharkpony, proud to fight, proud to live. Blood Fin is strong, almost as strong as the leaders."
>>460571
She smiles "Yes, I find them.. interesting, we didn't have anything like that back home. Well, not that I tried many foods back home, I mostly ate a special plant, moonlight ferns, they unfold at night, or in low light."

You go over to the ladies section and make yourself known to one of them. "Oh, hello. I am Lady Catherine." she smiles and scoot over for you. "You're not particularly a shark are you? I hear you helped arrange this diner?"
>>460567
the food is very satisfying. Is there something on your mind? You could speak it.
>>460573
>>460576
Daniel nods and subtly copies you.
It seems like they just needed a bit of a push in the right direction. The talks are progressing to specifics of the treaty, and when raids on monster dens can be assembled. Daniel looks to you heroes, getting your attention.
"Friends, The shark ponies wish for you to join them on a monster hunt, would you be interested in that?"
>>460575
"Oh, its wonderful."
"The Prince is great."
"I want him to marry me"
"Shh"
"Oh, I was wondering why you are called heroes? Did you fight in a war?"
Blood fin grins at you. "Maybe, Seaponies have a very nice lair. Make good fish, spicy. All new tastes for Blood Fin!" he viciously tears off a piece of meat from the fish and tosses it into his mouth. "Blood Fin loves to be a sharkpony, proud to fight, proud to live. Blood Fin is strong, almost as strong as the leaders."

"Thanks to us it never turned into a war, or at least not a bloody one. We kept the fighting to a minimum and in the end both sides were able to live in peace. I hope we can recreate that here."

"There is a giant squid that keeps bothering our hunters, It would be nice to be rid of it, but we hadn't the pony power with the war going on."

"Yes, I was one of the newcomers who helped with the dinner. And you are correct, I am not exactly what you would call a shark. To be fair, though, I came over to learn a little more about you and your friends here. What can you say about the recent happenings around here? What do you think of them?"

"Oooh." the sea pony ladies look impressed. "And you still manage to keep your mane so silky." "What is your secret?"
"Do you have a lover?"
"Oh, hush you can't ask that?"
"Right, Well.. I am happy we have a home here, it has been nice, and its easier to find traders when they can't be killed on their way to your home"
>>460580
"Surface? No, Blood Fin have plenty to fight and hunt without bothering madarak"
>>460581
Ebony nods. "It was told to me that it was the Night Mistress's gift, her special meal for us. We had normal foods as well, but the Moonlight Ferns were most common."
>>460585
"So, you'll go then?"
>>460586
"I think our mother was wrong to try and harm the Prince, Daniel is a great leader. I imagine this must be hard for him."
>>460585
…?
Daniel taps the table gently. "Excuse me friends. We have reached an agreement. There will be a union between our peoples. The sharks allowed sanctuary and homes in our city, and a portion of land to hunt with, in return they will help clear away monsters and other threats so we can all rest easier at night, Please continue with your diners."
to the party "The first monster raid will be on a giant squid, If you have time your presence would be valued there."

I blush a bit at the lover part.
"It's naturally like this. This is a very nice place. Remind me, was it the crystal seapony that built this entire place, or was it only the castle she built?"

I'll look to the Prince.
"Well, I'd like to go, but I promised to help deal with a gang. Some crazy mobster named Lobster. When were planning on the hunt, because I might be able to attend if I do the gang thing fast enough."

"It's a squid… aren't those just like… weird things with tentacles? That doesn't seem like it can hurt a pony."
The sea ponies ladies cheer and smiled to each other when they heard the news.
>>460591
>>460592
"Its causing troubles for our hunters, traders just ovoid that area now, but its ripe with fish so it would be a great gain to us if we clear out the beast."
Lex and Leon "Yes, we have issues with the squid as well. He killed one our warriors.."
>>460590
"She built much of it, mainly the castle and towers, and then just spawned a lot of crystal for our workers to use."
>>460594
"Yes, thank you for your support."
" Blood Fin will have your fin covered seapony! "
>>460593
"We can arrange for the raid to happen on a different night. It will take some time for the sharks to assemble anyway."
>>460595
She reels back "I would rather not hear the details, she is still our mother, even if she was cruel and wrong."
>>460589
Indeed it is. Everyone seems happy about this.
>>460593
"She was my queen, goddess. Still is really, I am looking for what the real her is like, instead of a false one."

"Maybe we can just get the squid to leave. You know it's just doing what it's meant to do, and we shouldn't kill it if we don't have to."

"Oh, you'd be surprised! For a big enough squid, the tentacles alone pack enough crushing power to kill a whale! And then it's got this nasty-sharp beak that cuts through flesh and stuff."
>>460597
"That works too! That way I can get into some real adventuring gear."
And I'll cock my head slightly at Ebony.
"That sounds pretty dangerous. I know you're traveling with the others, but you wouldn't mind one more seapony lending a fin to help you look, would you?"

"You have another two days on this spell. I did find a way to make the spell more permanent, and it works both ways, so a sea pony could come onto land if it desired."
>>460599
Ebony blushes, her cute ear tufts wiggling. "I think I would like it if you came along, but you don't have to. "
>>460600
>>460603
>>460598
Spirit speaks up "I will try talking to it, but I've heard rumors that its a very stubborn creature easily offended."
Lex "and we will have sharks back you up in case it attacks."
Daniel "I'll have my own men go as well, this is team work after all."
>>460602
"Like most of the noble daughters I am taught to use magic, and help support from the back lines in battle. Some of us have other talents, like trading, art, or styling manes, these are newer jobs, but I like them the best."

"A true renaissance pony, it seems. How do you help the others in combat? Sorry if I'm asking, but the last few days have required more aggression on my part, so I'd like to be prepared. I took to magic and combat at a later age, but I'm glad I did since it has give me the opportunity to meet you. Say, of all those new jobs, which is your favorite?"

She smile nearly squeaking as she replies "That's great news!"
>>460609
"I am able to conjure electricity, a valuable skill here. But with Diamond's new weapons its less needed for us to go out there. I can also sing, it helps the warriors swim in synced and know what formation to use. "

You two are like shining stars, your outfit reflecting the light in a truly unique way. You get the impression is was made for this kind of event. You managed to guide Ebony in the dance steps perfectly, and quietly so it seemed like she knew it all along. You finish the dance with Ebony in your arms smiling and breathing a little shallow in her her pruple dress. Seems she wasn't used to dressing this way..

And when he finally puts the necklace on and I open my eyes, I gasp.

"I understand" your doppel emerges, a bit less solid than usual. but that makes him easier to spin around the floor, you perform quite well.
Spirit blinks. "Ah, you know.. we sharkponies don't really dance.." '1d10' can spirit figure this shit out..
Lex and Leon seem content to float around the table picking shrimp off each other.

Last time on Dream Dust: The sea ponies and the sharks have reached an agreement over a nice nice meal. There was celebratory dancing, and everyone had a good night's sleep either in available guest rooms or other arrangements.
The party was invited to the first joint hunting adventure of the shark and sea ponies, in which they will hunt down a giant squid. This will occur on Night 2/ Final Morning.
The party has learned of a "Mobster Lobster" running some kind of crime ring out of caves in the Mantahawk Ridge. This has no real deadline, but morning might be a good time to investigate it.

Alright! All ready to hunt down this Lobster character. It'll be just like those detective books. Let's swim to the castle to meet the others. I'll be wearing my Shimmering Mist Robe, since mobster hunting is no place for a dance robe.

You meet up together outside of the palace. Spirit and Ebony are here as well, they're looking over a map.
"Good morning!" Ebony greets you warmly. "I borrowed a map from the royal library, so we won't be lost, but we should return it. It shows all the important known areas here."
Spirit is quietly contemplating it.

Right. Whoops. Of course we'd have shared the information.
"So we're all set to go then? Everyone's got their gear? We can just swim out there, beat up the mobsters, and be back in time for dinner!"

Spirit shakes his head "No, like I said its probably nothing, The squid is near a common trade route, there are a few caves near there that she liked to hide in.. You see.. She was part of a smaller rival group of sharkponies. She was.. feisty, nothing like a squid would get her." He smiles at the memory.
>>465746
>>465747
Spirit remarks "The area is riddled with caves, is supposed to be like a maze."
Ebony nods. "They are most likely hiding away in there, and thieves work best at night, so maybe they will be sleeping in."

Well Cloudcaller can certainly do a good job of it, you give him the other end of the rope so the thief can't swim away.
And with that you made your way to Mantahawk Ridge. The sea is strangely quiet here, and there are just a few fish swimming here and there. The cliff is riddled with holes for openings, its almost dizzying. Your thief guide you to one of the many cave openings. "Heres the safest way in. I swears it!" It looks dark and narrow.

the doppel has a good round of attacks and then in his eagerness doesn't see the stray magic orbs and gets completely fried by one. He vanishes "what.. no!"
This shrimp apparently isn't very timid and slaps you in the face with a fancy plate breaking it rather loudly.
>>474745
you get some feed back in his mind about taking over and what a great gig being part of his mob is, its a rather distracting bunch of dance steps that prevent you from performing to your fullest with the crystal magic, but you do make a few crystals.
>>474746
>>474747
>>474752
Your net is not small enough to trap the shrimp, who uses this time to wave his fins at the lobster making some of the cracks in his shell close. Half the orbs make their mark the others go haywire: one makes its way into a wall, and the other hits Doppel Rhodan full force.. sure is causing a lot of noise.
You heal Allegro successfully.
>>474744
You feel full of energy and ready to go again.

>>483770
The shrimp dodges you, and the little imp sticks his tongue out as he does it.
>>483772
You take your time and aim carefully, hitting the dodgy Shrimp and forcing his tail into the sand.
"Ah, see that hurts."
A lot of talking can be heard from the tunnel you came from, like a small crowd.
"Hey, what's you guys doing to Da Boss?" A greenish sea pony speaks up. He's followed by sounds of agreement "Yea, that's our Boss. Who are you?"
6 sea ponies swim into the room. They all look like teenagers, a bit rough around the edges.
The greenish seapony speaks up again "Let im' go.. cuz we need him' to take over stuff see!"
"Yea."
"Should be do the song?"
"I dunno Luo, the song ain't the same without the boss"
"But he'd want us to do it."
