You find yourselves in Montello, the city of freedom, or the city of thieves. Where every sky pirate winds up when they want to escape the heat. Its a rather disorderly place, they don't have a true leader like most cities, their buildings are kind of scattered along the cliffs of fallen hope. The city is always bustling, ponies trading stolen goods, or ship parts, drowning themselves in rum in celebration of some heist and even pirates looking for a new crew or captain to team up with. The center of this mess would be the tavern The Rusty Wrench, its tavern master, Darrel the Darkbeard, some say the salty earth pony is the closest thing these bunch have to a leader, to which Darrel just says "Keep your scuffs outside" and "pay yer tab or I'll throw you to the cliffs". Its just as lively as ever in the Rusty Wrench, and with the storm clouds on the horizon, you'd be best off inside of something that's at least tied down.

If I'm here there has to be a reason! Look brightly upon the patrons of the tavern, standing tall and smiling by the entrance of the Rusty Wrench!

"Goll'arned squalls, messin' wit' my research," I grumble to myself as I glare at the storm clouds.
Hopefully there's something worth my time in this tavern. Ooh! Maybe I can try out the effects of some things I've been brewing… unsuspecting subjects are the best subjects!

They laugh and play their cards for this round as well.
>>598866
There are all sorts of ponies here, a few playing cards in the corner, one Bat pony is walking in right near you. Surely there must be something great awaiting you. There are a few open seats at the bar if you just want to over look everyone for a while.
>>598867
There is a bold looking pegasus in the door as you walk in, he's kind of staring at the crowd and grinning like an idiot, or a man with a plan on his mind. There are a lot of different ponies here, a card game in the corner, many groups talking and laughing, a few open seats at the bar if you want to just observe for a moment.

Well, your compass points to the west, you guess that it means somewhere outside, where a ship is probably tied down, which is a little strange, since most of the ships were tied down over by the posts to the east.

You head outside, the steep cliffs and threatening clouds chased most of the others inside already, but a few still linger out here. Over to the west you see a bridge, and on the other side a ship, the ship seems to have a formal flag on it instead of the usual black sail, the silvery image of a tower on a bold green flag.

The closest main city would be Spiritios, A classic citadel type city, a favorite of magi, because of its closeness to mana river, which they say helps them with their magic stuff. Could be they just like the fresh water.
But there is surely a closer port. Perhaps to the south.
>>598969
You understand how to make the ship do hard turns using the two fin like sails on the side, this requires the crew to help, to do slower or more small turns uses the paddles on the hull of the ship this is controlled by the steering wheel. you know to make it descend faster, or ascend more by controlling the amount of steam going into the balloon.
>>598973
You also know how to control the ship, and find that its size is kind of small, there is one room for storing things, one room for sleeping in, one kitchen, and an engine room. There is also a place for prisoners, it looks a little unkept over all. A few old basic weapons are left behind, they might sell for a few silver, or be back up weapons if someone forgot theirs.

Its a cramped kitchen, that's for sure! This is where all the spices and the wheels of cheese are. There are some dusty pots and pans, a collection of plates and forks and spoons. Only a couple knives. The shelves don't like to stay closed. You do notice some sugar and flour, amazingly no ants or mold, just a little dust and dirt. You see a can of nails, and a a can of cans, and some rope that looks like it was chewed on, while you couldn't consider that food it might be useful.

Its a very well aged rope. It taste a bit like salty water.
>>599014
You overlook the area ahead, this is the Great Wolf Plains, its wide and flat, grass being blown by the wind as you fly over. A pack of the famous great wolves runs along the ground tracking something.
You are just close enough to the sea to notice the waves picking up as the storm chases you. Then you do notice a building, a round and smooth building like a boulder, but it has a door as lights as well.

You only see a couple other air ships. One huge, beast of a ship, an iron hull, its broad flags have an anvil inside of a mountain on them, crew crawling all over it. two medium sized ships, both seems pretty well manned.

When last we left off, our pirates had docked their ship in a small town on the plains, the houses all round like boulders, everypony hurried inside cept for the few guards of course.
There are three other air ships here, one large metal covered monster of a ship, using propellers instead of a traditional balloon, and two merchant vessels which appear suitably manned. You could go into the general store "Wolf Supplies", the tavern or "Great Lodge", or the bakery "Wolf's Best Bread". All of them appear still open, and on the main street.

You both head into the bakery, the sweet scent of freshly baked goods fills your senses with warmth and joy. There is a zebra stallion behind the counter who greets you with a smile and a wave. "HelloHello Welcome to Wolf's Best, Best Bread on the Prairie! Can I offer you a sample? Would you like to have a seat for a while?"
>>600006

You both go into the Lodge, you hear upbeat singing from the stage, there are ponies, gryphon, zebra, and even diamond dog all singing along and drinking.

You take a drink from a particularly distracted table of earth pony stallions, and over hear some of their chatter. "Yea! Look at the goat gal go!"

"You might enjoy it more if you relaxed a bit." the blue stallion replies and drinks from the same cup that orange one just put down. "Not everypony is out to get you."
"Hey, I bet you spend a lot of time in the skies, you look like the type anyway." The white furred stallion says looking kind of smug as he sees his friends drink dilemma.
>>600018
Mango bread? What is that? Sounds like a french thing. And this ain't no frenchy town.
"Air Light, I can sell you a loaf for 3 silver. or [a week's worth] for a gold, if you're looking to stock up."

You trot over to the bounties and see that there is a problem with a 'wolf mystic' or 'werewolf' depending on which writer you want to believe at, the bounty on this would be enough to buy you a small canon.

"Yea, we'll see how long that lasts." The pegasus retorts.

"Well I'm here most nights." The brown stallion smiles. "You wouldn't guess it, but I actually live around here."
"I'm just passing through. I heard he was a good game, so I decided to play." The pegasus says.

You're doing so well that Petunia folds and shakes her head and pockets the small pile of coin she's got left. "I'm out, this game is too manly for me."
Dust Bowl narrows his eyes on you, roll notice. "You've got a bit of skill there. How long you been playing?"
Crackle looks pretty annoyed. "I think I need another drink."

Point at my own captain.
"See! He is my captain! He is a very good captain and he told me to find out more about a pony! That pony turned out to be a pony called Greyjoy, and he is planning something baaaaaaaad! He wants to mute your iny with a mutiny! His main peeps are Raven Feather, Ink Brush… uh, Joker or something and Teal Skies!
The only really loyal ponies you can trust are Howler, Gerald, Minty and Hollow Front! The baddies wanted to beat you up and put you out in no pony's land where who knows what would happen to you!"

Ruby Hoof looks completely shocked "Whaaaaaat! That can't be. Greyjoy isn't nearly as ambitious as that!"
And then leans into your face, his eyes making an examining expression "You sure about that kid?"

 No.600204

>>600203
Nod and lean even closer.
"Uhuh! He thought I was a spy! He's working for someone, but if I asked who I'd have blown my cover!"

 No.600205

>>600204
Your faces touching now.
"Really now?"
And then he backs off and smiles. "When was this supposed to happen?"

 No.600206

>>600205
Snicker a bit, but then serious up.
"Couple days! Something about… uh, Lawforge?"

 No.600207

>>600206
"Well. I know Teal Skies pretty well, I'll bring Gerald and go ask him about this I'm sure. But I believe you. Uh, how can I can thank you for this warning?"

 No.600208

"Did you suspect something like this to be happening?"

"Um… Oooh, hold on!"

>>600202
"He wants to thank us and the guy who I talked with said they had a prisoner pirate who can talk to animals and everything!"
Snicker at the thought.
"We are pirates too, right? What do you think?"

 No.600212

>>600211
Nod slowly.
>>600209
And then turn around with a dashing smile.
"Say, you might have something we could use.
It'd be a very small price to pay, after such a big news…
We'd like to be the ones who bring your prisoner to Law Forge."

You were being lead by Captain Ruby Hoof to the the prisoner Leonis the Lion Caller, a unicorn pirate. You pass by the crew, who all at least glance at you, The burly crystal pony stops at the cell and nods to the guard who hoofs over the key. He stops short of opening it. "Hey, what's this extra prisoner? When did she get here?"
"Just an hour ago sir, she was seen with Leonis, so we thought it'd be best to hold her until.. You mean Ink didn't tell you right away?"
He groans and turns to your group. "Just a moment while I sort this out."
You can see a pale blue sheep in a green and blue dress, she has blue eyes and is sitting on the bench. Laying on the floor is a yellow unicorn with a tan mane, he is flicking a pebble at the wall over and over, his golden eyes fixating on the captain, who doesn't address him but instead the sheep. "So, what's your name miss?"


Dania
You were so rudely taken in here by those pirate hunters, they didn't even stop to listen to you. But at least the company is pretty good, and you're already getting attention from a orange and red crystal pony, and a few others following him, a bat pony, a young looking goat, a pegasus pony, and a gryphon.
"So, What's your name miss?" The Red and orange crystal pony says, holding the key in his hoof.

Wave at the unicorn and lean with my back against a wall, waiting for the other captain to be finished.

 No.600221

>>600218
She looked at him with a neutral stare.
''Dania…Lady Dania'' She spoke without much excitement as she took a moment to take in the details of her surroundings
''But how about you kind sir?what is your name?'' She asked raising an eyebrown and looking at him up and down

 No.600222

>>600218
Wait, a sheep? Aren't they rather reclusive or something? I don't seem to see many of them…

The unicorn raises his head and looks over at you, "Hey."
>>600220
Hop hop hop, you're like a little goat balloon.
>>600221
"Well Lady Dania, I'm Ruby Hoof, Captain of this vessel."
You notice his concern for you, he wears a jacket, and a wide brimmed hat, which is slightly wet from the rain. The cell is decent enough, it has a bed and a tiny bookshelf even. The bench you're on is metal, Leonis let you have that because of you being a lady.
"Is it true that you were with pirates?"
>>600222
They are very reclusive, living only in the mountains far north and rarely going far away from the homeland.. which begs the question how one got down here at all. You happen to have heard that their prince is missing, perhaps she is looking for him, or simply very very lost.

 No.600224

>>600223
>>600221
"Ye be a long way from hearth an' home, lass. Did ye lose yer way?"
>>600220
"Well ain't ye the little bundle'a energy. What's the occasion?"

 No.600225

>>600224
"Every day is an occasion!"
Snicker.

But baloons deflate or pop!

 No.600226

>>600223
''Well…The ''truth'' is that I was near the pirates when you found me
''But I was certainly not working for them,and not working with them either.'' She spoke regally and in a reserved tone
She glanced to the party for a second before looking back to Ruby
''Now what I wanted to know is why you captured me and threw me in this cell without even giving me a chance to explain myself. That is not a very good manner to treat a lady you know?'' Ending her sentence with a ''humph'' and raising her chin lightly.
She turned to the party again as Doc called her

>>600224
''Yes…And no…I was taking care of my own business until these brutes took me. Simply unbelieavable!'' She said raising her chin again,looking annoyed

 No.600227

>>600226
Cock an eyebrow at your snooty behavior towards the ponies currently keeping you prisoner.
"Not da brightest lamp, are ye…"
Still, this is curious. Time to investigate!
"So, yer business wouldnae happen ta involve yer missin' prince, would it? Or did ye jest take a wrong turn at the mountains?"

 No.600228

>>600225
They do!
>>600226
The captain rubs his chin. "Well when it sounds like somepony got a little too aggressive. You have my apologizes."
"Anyway, Leonis, you've got a new handler, these ponies are gonna take you the rest of the way to Law Forge." He motioned for the unicorn the stand up and unlocked the door roughly pushing him out and away from you, toward the pegasus. Ruby Hoof then offered you a hoof to help you out. Leonis looks longfully back at you.
>>600219
The unicorn is being thrust in your general direction. But he's not really paying attention to you.

 No.600229

>>600228
Are you saying I'm going to pop or deflate?

 No.600230

>>600228
Whistle, calling his attention up.
"No funny business until we get you all the way to your execution, alright?"
Grin.

 No.600231

>>600227
For a brief moment,Doc could see her pupils shift and widen a bit
''I do not know what you are talking about. I have not received news of my kingdom in many months…'' She spoke calmly,looking away from him
''I did not take a wrong turn.'' She started,sounding a bit upset by that
''What?are you implying I could not wander alone without taking care of myself throught this vast world?
I am simply a lady,looking for a life of adventures,if that is what you are wondering'' She spoke pushing a small bit of wool away from her face.

>>600228
She looked at the captain,her angry expression softening a bit.
''hm…Very well,since you are truly sorry for what you did…I suppose I could forgive you…''
She gladly took Ruby's hoof,but did not got up yet,and took a few seconds to look back at Leonis.
''Yes?'' She asked him,blinking gracefully a few times

 No.600232

>>600231
"Well, we've plenty of adventurin' ta do…"
>>600230
"What de ye think, Capt'n?"

 No.600233

"Hearing of the prince's disappearance isn't even bothering you?"
>>600232
"This ball of fluff is just asking for troubles!"
Chuckle.

 No.600234

>>600229
No, of course not. You're not just full of hot air after all.
>>600230
His golden eyes gaze over you, "Hmm I guess that's how it is."
>>600231
You are now in the hall with the others, Ruby hoof looks concerned again. "You're traveling all alone? I'm sorry that's not really safe for a lady like yourself, hordes of monsters, scum like that pirate, I would be amiss to see you alone."
Leonis just smiles dumbly back. "Yes."

 No.600235

>>600233
Give him a smirk.
"Aye… but it's trouble we're after, aye? Might be interesting ta see what sorta trouble she brings."

 No.600236

>>600235
Nod slowly.
"We're gonna need a bigger ship soon."

 No.600237

>>600234
"Mayhap we can see 'er where she want's ta go?"

 No.600238

>>600232
She nodded.
''A group of misfit adventurers I see.'' She spoke analizying everyone in the party
A soft chuckle and a small smile
''well…That sounds interesting…''

>>600233
''now that I know of it…Mmnhyes…It is a shame,he was such a handsome and graceful prince…I wonder what would have made him disapear…'' She wondered looking at the hoof for a moment,smiling to herself

>>600234
''Hm…I may be a lady,but I know how to take care of myself…'' She spoke looking away from him
''Still…Thank you for your worry…Looks like at least some of you are rather decent…'' She spoke with a smile,blinking her eyes quickly and rather adorably
Then she glanced back at leonis.
''Is there anything…you need from me sir?'' She asked him, her light blue eyes locked into his

 No.600239

>>600238
"Hey now, who you calling misfits? And don't fraternise with prisoners!"

 No.600240

>>600237
>>600236
"Well that would certainly put my mind at ease. If she's agreeable to that of course."
>>600238
"Of course, of course still.." He rubs his chin a bit.
Leonis shakes his head. "Wait are you going with us? That's be.. great" he has a stupid smile again.
Ruby hoof chuckles a bit. "Well if you want to go with them, you'd probably be safer. Of course its up to you, you're a free lady after all."

 No.600241

>>600239
''Oh…I apologise…
Maybe inapt would be a better term for you?'' She spoke bitterly
''Because so far I only see a child,a gryphon,a doctor,and you…''

>>600240
She glances at leonis,then to Ruby
''Of course,I would love to'' She spoke a bit happier
''Sounds like…an adventure''

 No.600242

>>600241
Chortle.
"I'm also a goat!"

 No.600243

Seems here like you are the misfit."

 No.600244

>>600242
''yes…yes…That much I saw,darling…'' She spoke making an odd movement with her front hoof

>>600243
She smiled at that. A big smile actually.
''huhuhu…Well I cannot belie you at that…I am a misfit myself''
She leaned a bit closer. ''So,would you kindly accept me in your crew of misfits?''

 No.600245

>>600244
Tilt my head.
"You did? Ooooo! How did you know? Are you a wizard?"

 No.600246

>>600244
Pretend to actually think about it for a few instants… Before booping her nose.
"Guess we need a ship's girl."

 No.600247

>>600240
"Weell then, it's settled! Welcome to da crew, lass!"
Eye her wool thoughtfully, then look out at the storm.
"Though, getting ye back te our ship might be a mite… uncomfortable for ye."

 No.600248

>>600247

>>600247
Take him apart for a moment.
"I've got a quick job for you once we leave this place."

 No.600250

>>600249
"I like da sound o' that. What ye be needin' from me?"

 No.600251

>>600245
She could not help but chuckle
''No child…I just saw your pretty horns,so similar to mine,and assumed that'' She said leaning down to pat her head

>>600246
She leaned back a bit at the boop
''Um…Alright…'' She said a bit weirded out
''Well how about instead of ''Girl'' I become the ship's um…Secret service provider?'' Sounds better does it not?''

>>600247
She raised an eyebrown as she saw him eyeing her
''hm…Why is that?'' She asked lifting a tiny hoof.
Her white wool looked rather well cared,shining in the light,and perfectly brushed and fluffed as well
She looked like a blue cotton candy ball in a dress

>>600249
''yes…let us go
I cannot wait to know more about you all~'' She spoke with a brief,cute giggle

 No.600252

>>600251
"But you're not a goat, silly!"

 No.600253

"Wool an' water dinnae mix well."
Gesture to the rain outside.

 No.600255

"An empty cabinet in this one abandoned house down the road."

 No.600256

''Yes darling,I am a sheep,not a goat.
…I a way…You could say we are like ''cousins'' yes?'' she spoke smiling to herself at the silly thought

>>600253
nice thing to know
''Yes,rather good actually'' She said closing her eyes an putting a hoof on her chest in a proud pose.
''I spend many months in my childhood learning all about assasination,infiltration,Deceiving…
And seducing the hearts of poor fools,huhuhu…''

>>600254
She looks at it
''I will be fine,a good scrubbing will make my perfect wool perfect again'' She spoke melancholically
And then sighed.
''Why did I not brought an umbrella…''

 No.600257

Once inside she took a deep breath to take the ship's scent

It does help some, just to be cautious you move carefully behind the clouds before diving down into the chimney. This house is full of dust and cobwebs, a few of the doors are stuck open, only one area even looks a little disturbed, the living room area.

The eye is a from a monster known as the cat dragon, they can grow to be the size of a small house, and generally live in jungle areas. They have the ability to see great distances, and even through cloaking magic, so their eyes are valued for study. This particular eye was traded to them in exchange for more mundane supplies.

Last time our pirates of the skies boarded and captured a merchant ship.
They found a treasure map, hopeful that it would lead them to riches, they have a gleam in their eye and coin in the pockets.
The ship is a medium sized vessel, with four cannons, two on each side. The sails are long, the air balloon is heated with a proper flame, and should be a lot smoother to handle. The rutters are a little small for a vessel this size, but that's an easy enough fix. More relevantly, there are more rooms on this ship than your old one, at least five more doors.

You come in near a sofa, covered in dust, but still probably one of the nicer things you've seen so far. There is a table with an oil lamp, a long table for coffee or such, a hallway which leads to stairs to the attic, or the other rooms.

You follow Chance inside and bounce softly onto the sofa, its extremely soft. There is a table with an oil lamp, a long table for coffee or such, a hallway which leads to stairs to the attic, or the other rooms.

You dania and Leonis in the middle of the village you wanted to go to, but.. the buildings are covered in moss, most of them look unenterable, and this one that they are outside of is one of the three intact places.

Yes, its a common species of forest moss, it grows rather quickly, taking over a location in only two years provided there aren't any disturbances.
Its soft, but not really great for eating, I believe a diamond dog doctor once said it has the nutritional equivalent of crackers. You may be able to distill it for growth properties, but its also common enough that you can find it in almost any forest.
>>605797
>>605798
The three of you head up to the attic, dust covers everything, hiding the color of it. Barrels, crates, and piles of things line the walls, Its worth noting that the crates and the barrels are the same kind of wood that the small gun was in, and which is a white wood, while the scattered crates outside are a darker wood.

The ponies that resided here used white wood

Does it has to do with why they were attacked?
How much more valuable it is than normal wood?''

"Hmm. I dunno, isn't wood wood?" Leonis says as he digs through a pile of old clothes, paying attention to anything 'dressy' looking.

Leo stands a little taller to show it off. "Just up there is was, in the clothes these guys left behind."

Outside you feel the wind moving around your group, a cloud passes over the sky above making everything shady and cool, nothing but broken houses and leftover crates from when ponies long ago moved on.

The ruins are to the south, and the lake is just to the west, the cave is to the north.

"Oh, Dania noticed something about the wood, said it was different than normal, white. But It didn't seem to have any use right now."

To the south then, you make your way through the thick forest, following the captain's heading to make it to the ruins.
some of the trees have been cut along the way, in an effort to make a path, their stumps left behind. There are large stone buildings that you can see through the trees, but they never peak over top of the trees, meaning they were practically invisible to anyone flying over, long stone steps lead the way down, fallen pillars and vine covered arches lay before you, the whole structure of the place based on going down.
