In the land nicknamed Hopeless a new land mark has sprung up, a strange, large stone castle, but the stones.. they seem to be made of crystals and shine like a sunset. The land was called Hopeless for obvious reasons, there wasn't much here. The crops grew poorly, the citizens were poor, and the towns so pitiful not even a mountain troll would bother with them. Naturally this shining castle was a beacon of sorts for them, something they would be able to talk about, and substantially gain from. A few lucky ponies arrived at the site first. (that's you)
You all are standing a few yards away from the impressive structure and can see each other plainly.

The castle is probably the prettiest thing you've ever seen, and certainly the prettiest thing in the land. Its hard to determine if the bricks are really made of Crystal or not, they have a faint glow but it could be sunlight. The towers are regal and sturdy, the gate large enough for 5 ponies wide to walk down, and the path set with glowing stones.

In this race to the finish line the Diamond Dog comes out on top, rushing past the gate, and taking only a moment to look around. as the Smug tracker was just behind them.
You stop running and realize you're in a room of delightful craftsmanship. There are elegant seats, a chandelier, and spiral stairs leading to an upper floor. You can see three doors on the ground floor. North, East, and West.

everything looks like it was jewels in it, or is made of jewels, there are a few tables that look loaded with treasure, a few jeweled cups and plates and its all yours, you are just drooling thinking about it.
>>324924
You take a look through the western door and are blinded by the light coming from it, the room is quite bright but after a bit of blinking you can make out something that looks like a sundial, with a leaf as the center piece.

>>324949
This room is some kind of green house, there are vines on the wall, a magical light floating in the middle of the room an assortment of rare plants are growing here in very fancy pots. Its smells enticing to you. The center piece of the room is a sundial with a large leaf as the center piece, this sundial in particular is marked with different flowers, except for the twelve o' clock mark, which is a boar.

The ginger bread ponies on the side slowly begin to move, a door way with candy canes as acrches and cookies as doors is on the other side of the room.. but you'll need to go through these ponies. They have spinkles for eyes, and each wheilding a candy cane spear.
You are facing three.

You find an opening easily and touch him with a glowing end of your staff. The ginger pony begins to slow and crumble, +1 to all attacks against it.
>>325012
You slam your frying pan into the pony's head and it rattles as it is stunned. Its legs shake and one leg breaks in half. Its composing itself for a moment and reaching for its staff.

You rise to you hooves and slide away from the ginger pony just as its about to strike you, leaving its spear stuck in the ground where your body was. You also hear a sloshing sound as the spear sinks into the floor and the floor jiggles a bit.
>>325046
You are not so lucky and get bounced a bit from the wiggling floor, in fact you feel your hoof sink a bit into the floor. it feels.. sticky, yet smooth like some kind of slime.
>>325052
what a disgusting song. You walk in and are captivated by the candy everywhere, it looks so tasty, even this snow is candy! The guardians are candy, and this floor is candy too! wait, why are you on the floor silly.. oh, that explains it, right behind your hoof is a candy cane spear that you tripped over when you weren't watching your step.

You manage to you struggle free but are knocked back a bit, by the force of freeing yourself. you have 3 wounds and 5 hits right now.
>>325062
Having seen this trick before the pair are watching out for it and one bats your staff away while the other pierces you for 1 wound and 1 hit. making you at 2 wounds and 4 hits.
>>325066
Its a room with snowflakes made of sugar constantly falling, a battle between some ginger bread ponies and some more fleshy beings catches your eye. But the room is very tasty looking, there are gum drops scattered around, a door way with candy canes for arches and cookies for doors. A table made of cookies, with seats made out of muffins.

You feel yourself being knocked down, A spear appears in your face, and you feel weaker. The cookie seems to be talking to each other about what to with you, but they aren't using words you can hear.
>>325083
You heal to full health.
>>325090
Agreed I'm a bit tired too.
>>325092
Its very good! In fact its so good you could eat it forever.. you could become it so full! you notices your hooves turning to ginger as you gorge yourself on the scenery.

So our brave explorers were spared the pain of being beaten by the elite cookie patrol. The pony tracker is heavily wounded, The greedy necromancer dog is healed through use of a potion, and the crystal pony mage's hooves have turned to ginger bread. The way to the cookie door is now open, the force field also seems to have dropped, so you could return.
>>325792
the room has two entrances. the one you came in through and the cookie door.
>>325789
The next room has a cookie lining surrounding a pool of sweet smelling pink water. There are a few tea cups in the water, some tied by licorice ropes to the shore and a licorice rope that is loose in the water. The other side of the water there is a large chest made of sugar cookies, and decorated with icing.
>>325793
Its very difficult to move your hooves in the right direction for this, you fumble around and half bandage yourself.

>>325886
Good enough, you take your time and bandage yourself up. You're at full health now.
>>325888
You grab a bucket and pour the sweet pinkish water on it the chest is kind of.. burnt melted, and some of the contents are dripping with melted cookie so its hard to see, but there is a large staff intact, a candy cane staff with a large chunk of rock candy on the top.

The rooms is mostly a big pink lake, around the edge is a cookie platform, and there are a few decorations every so often, cookie mirrors, piles of gum drops, licorice ropes on the walls and some candy cane poles with licorice ropes tied to them, docking a few tea cup boats. The pinkish water goes on as far as you can see.. there is also a rope with no tea cup attached to it. There is a small trace of cookie crumbs on the ground near the rope.
>>325914
You move aside some of the cookie coating to reveal a set of candy corn daggers, and a candy cane bow with taffy as the string.

with your significant cooking experience you can discern what parts of these treats are safe to eat, you store some cherries, sugar, and doe away for later.
You are so confident in the boat that you jump inside, but just barely miss and cling to edge of the boat.
>>325949
You pull on to the poor pony but your doey hooves betray you and you can't get a proper grip on her. Though you do hold on to her, you slip off the boat and both of you land in the pinkish waves. You now know that the water is pink lemonade. A slight laughter is heard from the distance "I didn't know ponies liked to swim!"

"But.. you haven't won the game! You can't expect to meet the queen without passing a few more games!" followed by a lot of giggling.
>>325975
You get on to the boat in a hurry, and toss the licorice rope down to the crystal pony jerk.
>>325981
You feel heavy, you seem to have forgotten how to swim, or did you even know in the first place? Its getting harder to move and your head is sinking down in the pink water.

you paddle toward the surface but are unable to break the surface, you can almost see the rope and your cookie hooves seem to to want to float causing you to sort of spin on your side.
>>325994
You land it pretty close to her, but she's still under there.
>>325998
The pony is just out of reach.
