The night is cold, dark, and a tad depressing. The blades in your hooves feel heavy with the weight of your mission. But it must be done. Your look over the location, an old mansion, four stories high its walls covered with ivory. Inside awaits a pony, once known as Franklin Stones, now known as Frank the Frozen, who has been making deals with demons to gain power, he has formed a small cult in the area, a cult your king and old friend declared too dangerous to exist.. A cult that is meeting in this abandoned old place.. their exact numbers are uncertain, but killing Frank should be priority.
Breath calmly and secure the helmet over my head.
Close my eyes, spread my wings.
Open them again just a moment later, and slip into the shadows around the mansion.

You clear off as much of the dirt and smoke as you can from the window. There is a red line on the inside of the window ledge, seems to be leading to a strange circle, but until you get inside it will be difficult to see.
you could also try going in another way, there is a basement entrance, a front and back door, and numerous windows on all four floors.

the smell of smoke is strong, as if something were just recently burning here. Taking a moment to observe you can see that nothing is currently rising up these chimneys.

You drop silently down the chimney, merely a bit of wind to the five robed ponies standing around in the very.. oddly decorated living room. There are various piles of.. bones, ashes, and branches, the floor here is completely stone, and has some runes painted on it. The five ponies seem to be going over some notes together.
"You're sure we needed gryphon claws for that part?"
"Yea I'm sure."

the pony sighs once and once you are out of sight nudges you. "Hey, newbie, you can call me Luster."
he takes a turn into a store room, lined to the brim with ingredients, but they aren't in any particular order. There are boxes of bones, horns of different animals, and bugs trapped in jars or glass containers. you can hear a soft hissing as if from a snake.
"Look kid, we're trying to summon a whole horde of demons tonight. This has to be done just right if we are going to get the right ones, the ones we can control.. You do want your own demon don't you?"

Luster smirks are you, his grey eyes following you as you check the room.
"That's the spirit. Then don't mess this up, okay?"
You see about a dozen ways to create lethal poisons, a few plants that can cause delusions if prepared properly, while you can't make much out of the bones, you know that most the of living animals here have powerful venom, are are liking being kept here so they can be harvested for the various effects.
Luster hoofs you a jar of spiders. They are mostly dead, but a few twitch with life still.
"Here."

Luster rolls his grey eyes at you "You don't have do that. Just dump them into the cauldron and stir for a while." at this point his hood slips down and reveals that he is an older white unicorn. Confirmed not the target: Franklin Stone is an earth pony, and according to the latest report, his skin has become the same color as ice, and his eyes black as night.

You see Frozen Frank, his skin pale blue, and his eyes darkened an unnatural black. He is surrounded by 14 cultists, all seem to be as high ranked as Luster was. They are all chanting something. There is a strange smoke rising up from five different flames, placed at the points on a pentagram circle that has been painted on the floor.. it looks like it was painted in blood. The smoke is circling the room instead of leaving like normal smoke.

You adjust the runes on stove, and the brew the coffee up a bit strong, but that's the way it works best. Nice black coffee, it goes down smooth, you don't even need to use the complimentry sugar or cream keep in the coolers. Magic really has made life easier, enchanting elemental effects to make storing and cooking things a breeze.
Thinking back, you did well that night, stopping a maniac and his cult. Its nice when the purpose is clear isn't it? The law system Equestria has started to set up, its muddled things, some times sheriffs or mayors have the authority, sometimes the princesses do..

"Ah, Grutux you're early. Someone give you a hard time?" he lazily waves at you.

You get the impression that she didn't actually get to keep much of what she stole, since most of the things are very common quality.

The figure is leaning forward, appearing to support their weight with their front hooves, as if depressed, but its clear after a moment that this is an act and the figure could spring into action at a moment's notice. You gather that the figure is a pony, stallion, but can't get a handle on what he might be carrying. For now, he just seems like he is taking a break.
The bartender, a green unicorn stallion, "Feeling lost in Durance?" he gestures to the small drink menu lying on the counter. "What's your drink?"

Very mesmerizing crystals. "This is paradise." she declares. "Please take your time and look around. I'm quite proud of how it turned out."
There are a couple other ponies here, of various race and gender, all look stunning and they all seem happy, blissfully so. Mint sticks by your side smiling at you.

The cool breeze feels wonderful on your wings, you spot a spring in the back yard, there is an inviting circular gazebo here with benches, room enough for eight ponies to relax, you can see a few crystals have been wrapped around the poles here, giving the gazebo a nice reflective sparkle. A tan unicorn is tending a carrot patch, which seems to match her cutie mark of a gardening spade and a carrot. The house itself looks hoof-made, it has the natural feeling of being made of all wooden logs, yet is as complex and beautiful as if a talented builder had designed it. Three stories, a large deck decorated with comfortable looking chairs and some tables. Crystals decorate the railing like wind chimes.

She then points to the lovely gardens, bursting with flowers and hard to grow plants.
"Daisy did most of this. Carrot Root, and Cabbage Tuft did a complete overhaul on the vegetable garden.. and you should see what Velvet Plush has done with the interior.."

She guides you inside, the interior is just as breathtaking as the exterior. Each room having its own theme, its own feeling. There is a vibrant romantic room, seats meant for two to share, small cakes on the end table, a pleasant mix of red and pink.
Next to this is a room full of tea pots, as decoration, with the furnishings themed like teaware: tea cup seats, tea cup print table clothes.
Mint takes you past about six of these themed rooms and then stops at a winter themed room. The walls have been painted to look like its snowing, there are white throw blankets and table clothes, patterned to look like snow flakes, little figures of snow ponies decorate this room. She offers you a seat at a table. "This I think will be your favorite room."

Fix? You could destroy all those crystals, but it might be more effective to just blow up the whole house rather than try and do so individually.
The ponies are clearly distraught, but you don't think there is much you can do for them, maybe you can send a mind mage in to help them readjust to real life.

There is one thing left to do.
I need the body of that pegasus… Changeling… Thing.
She was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
And I will need ways to bring everyone down and such…
This is not my job. More of a problem for my contact, at this point. There is nothing left for me to do here.
Time to walk back into the 'north' room.

When you return there are seven ponies here, they are all holding hooves in a circle around her body, most of them crying. The tan unicorn with the carrot cutiemark glares at you as you approach, his horn lighting up and you feel him trying to lift you and throw you out of the room.

The crystal explodes into a rainbow of colors, it falls down almost like snow. The explosion however leaves a charred hole in the wall,
Instantly five of the ponies leave in panic. The two who remain are the same unicorn and an earth pony with a roll of fabric for a cutie mark.
"No, you get out."
"This is our home! Our paradise.. Why are you doing this to us?!" the mare shouts at you.

The unicorn, he is clearly a shaman, he has 7/7 health.
The mare, well she could be anything really, but mostly she's just upset and screaming obscene things at you.
The unicorn breathes heavily and carries the mare away with a magical aura.
"I hope you can live with what you have done." he says glaring as he levitates the mare into the next room with him, leaving you alone with this pale white-pegasus-changeling.

She nods. "Yea, no problem." She leads you outside, to the road, the blue evening sky lit by a half moon, the air cool and damp. She creeps along the walkways quietly as a cat and soon you arrive at 435 Pine street. Pine street itself is a residential area, full of small houses. Kack's place seems completely normal, you see throu the window that there is a light on in the first floor. Maddie just nods toward the house. "In there"

You fly up to the window and peer inside, Its a fairly normal living room area, there is a book shelf, a desk, a table and a sofa. You can spot a brown and orange unicorn stallion reading a book on the sofa, he glances toward you but says nothing and continues to read.

He shows them to you, there is a blue one with wolf's fur as a lining, a white coat that seems to be purely fur, and a dark brown coat likely bear pelt. their sizes are made for an adult earth pony and should fit her fine.

My first line of thought was to ask the guards straight, but that would be silly.
Then I thought, let's pretend I am a sailor to get info, but had the genial idea to make it "comical" and pretend to be a crazy scotsman. Just because.
When really the smartest thing to do would have been asking in any inn near the docks.

You head into the Inn, a small but upbeat place. There is a band playing on a small stage, looks like their theme is songs about love and vacation, the drum line is slow and steady, the guitar makes the whole thing very pleasant to listen to. There are about a dozen ponies here right now. Behind the counter the bar tender, a white unicorn mare with a two-tone pink mane greets you. "Well, come on' in! Ya'll are in time for happy hour!"
the time is 5 o clock.

"Yess sir! All liquids are half price, and ya'll get either a bottomless appetizer basket with your order! either potato wedges or carrot nachos. Both come with cheese."
She hooves you a short menu with an impressive variety of foods, seems like they try to please travelers from all over. Most of the dishes have carrots or potatoes included.
Taking a look around you see a red earth pony stallion, looks to be about 30, with a green mane, green eyes, a familiar hammer cutie mark and a smile that you will never forget.. this must be Hulking Strike.
The last time you saw him he was just a foal, a poor kid in a bad situation. That was a cold winter in the blue mountains. Almost as cold as the heart goat you had decided to take care of. Ramzel the Everstrong her called himself. Well, he wouldn't be calling himself that for long. The trail has lead you near to the top of the mountain, to a mine. ..now did you come disguised as something or just sneak in?

Your eyes really do hurt, must have been all that heavy drinking last night when you were gathering information from that stallion… Two-Shot McBluff.. He certainly could do more than two shots! but after enough drinks his bluff didn't work so well.
There are ponies constantly walking in and out of the mine, occasionally bringing a cart with them. They seem afraid of you, and move in teams of three.. some of these ponies seem young..

Here in the deepest parts you can see a locked gate blocking you path, the heat down here feels as if there is a large forge, or small volcano, the clinking of metal is loud, and there is occasional laughter.

Moving silently you approach the source of the heat, a large forge, taking lava from the core of this mountain, to your surprise there is a boy here hammering at some kind of hoof-armor, no more than 11, he is nearly covered in charcoal dust but what you can see of him is red fur, and green eyes. Nearby you see a goat in heavy looking armor, there are spikes visible on the side on shoulder. He has three ponies nearby, all unicorns with large crystal staffs. There are discarded weapons and armor on the ground here.

"You shouldn't have come here."

Maddie just looks shocked and follows you. "…what.. where are we going?"
You watch closely, the evening time bringing out the worst ponies, but you are you easily able to avoid them. The shop is pretty much empty only the pegasus stallion from before is here. He greets you warmly. "Good evening."

He goes past the board-walk, a line of shops that are open late and sell various souvenirs, foods, and beach supplies, these is another Inn here, called the Sea Shell Retreat. There is something called "shell fish racing" being advertised to start soon, ice cream is being peddled to you every 2nd block. Eventually he turns down a wooden bridge build over the sand, that leads to the beach. There is a large crowd gathered up ahead watching the skies. The smell of their foods, the fresh cool ocean air, carrying a bit of salt. Your hooves sink into the soft sand slightly as the wooden bridge ends. "Looks like it hasn't started yet." Strike comments toward the crowd.
"Now this seems like it could be fun.." Maddie say happily and dashes off to crowd before disappearing into it.

"You must have quite a lot of stories to tell then.."
You can spot a team of six wearing the same light blue uniform with colorful stars in the shape of horseshoes on it, 3 pegasi 2 unicorns and a griffon.
They get in place and the four fliers take off over the crowd, their outfits lighting up and changing colors as they go throu practiced formations. Behind them bursts of color pop in the air, forming a detailed scene of an ship sailing on the waves, dolphins jumping out the water next to it. The crowd oohs and awes at this.

The scene moves forward, under the water, the griffon changing direction from the others an image of a dolphin with a horseshoe on his head behind him, the three pegasi have a kracken's image behind them and a fast paced battle plays out, the dolphin winning after a fierce struggle. Then the dolphin image is seen jumping emerging next to the ship, this is followed by a few loops and circle before the scene ends.
The show ends with a horseshoe shaped formation and several bursts of color that spell out Good Luckand then fade, leaving the sky empty and black except for the stars. The crowd explodes into cheering.

"You think so?" Hulking leads you through the docks, the scent of wood, metal, booze, and polish, mixed with salty sea air, the cool night breeze, the moonlight reflecting off the water, and the sheer variety of ships.. All coming together to provide an interesting memory.. There is just about everything from small river boats, to large cargo ships. Eventually you come to the dock labeled 16, at the end of the dock is a relatively small ship, Its painted white with blue accents, Hellequin written is fancy blue writing. On the side are three folded up tabs clearly mechanical or golem in nature, the shop has a few .
Hulking Strike approaches the ship with a smile, he flips a small switch and lets down a set of stairs for you both. “Well, here she is.”

You walk up and inside the ship, there are six doors, Hulking shows you them, they are three rooms fit staying in, one of these clearly occupied by Hulking himself, and one half full of boxes, but there is space in the storage area for these, Hulking assures you he can have it moved in no time. Hulking briefly shows you the engine room, full of all the magi-tech engineering that will keep the ship moving. He then leads you up the stairs and into the Helm, there is a wheel, and a control panel as expected. It has a nice view of where the ship is headed. There is also a very well made long sword on the wall. Hulking stares at this a moment and then turns back to you. "So, any questions?"

This sword is genuinely impressive, the metal is close to flawless, the curve is perfect, the edge is sharp. This sword could likely cut a fruit so perfectly that you could set the fruit back together and no one would be able to see the cut.
"Yes, its for my father, should I ever locate him." Hulking looks mildly angry when he says this.
