These are chime-bells, she replies. Watch.
She reaches out and gently pokes one. The bulb flashes faintly, and a faint chiming tinkle begins to fill the air.
One or two is harmless right now, but too many will bring unwanted attention.
>>587719
You manage to stay on the ponies tracks, but you lose the predator's tracks.

As you enter the clinic, you find a group of very distraught ponies and two donkeys babbling around Sweetherb.
"I can't find her anywhere!"
"Oh, my dear sweet Petunia, I don't know where she could have gone!"
"Mulio was right beside me one minute, and the minute I turned around he was gone!"
>>587723
That's easy, considering it looks like it jumped them here. there's a lot of hoofprints and crushed brush in a circle here; looks like it was quite the scuffle.
The tinypone tracks lead off further into the woods, now paced out and meandering. They were running with everything they had, and it looks like whatever was chasing them wasn't far behind. Further investigation hints as to why… there's blood on the leaves here. not much, but still not a good sign.
>>587724
>>587727
Not right here, no. At least nothing particular. Still, it's best not to make a lot of noise when there's predators hunting. In the swamp, however…
>>587726
Eventually the ground starts to get softer and squishier, water beginning to pool in your hoofprints as you continue along.
Soon we'll hit the swamp. We should stop and check up on my friend before we try to pass through them. Plus it's getting late, and navigating the swamps at night is suicide.

In the swamps, they're like dinner bells for the hydras.
>>587732
"Calm down, please!" Sweetherb protests over their chatter. "Would you please explain what this is about?"
"We want the native you've been keeping here!"
"Yeah, we want to know where she's hid our kids!"
"If she's hurt so much as one hair on my boy's head…"
"Where's the mayor? She'll sort this out!"
"I want my baby back!"
>>587731
The blood starts appearing more and more often, even as the tracks grow closer and closer together as the fillies tire.
Up ahead you can see the beginnings of what appears to be some sort of rock formation. You also hear an ominous snarling noise, followed by a wet crunch.
>>587730
My friend's home is just over this way a bit. I'm sure Greenbite will love having company over for once! Now, don't let his looks scare you. Underneath that thick hide of his, the guys a big softie.

She stands and cracks her neck.
"Sure thang, mister. Jest lead me there."
>>587734
Yep, you were. Clouded wandered off, and is now sitting with a couple of mares and sharing drinks. She looks as droll as ever, but her companions don't seem to mind.

She heads into the woods.

She was hunting. It was rare they found one of the scaleskins, but when they did it was always a good way to gain honor by sinking your weapon into them…
The group closed on the cave, her comrades pressed close as they crept forward…
A yelp, and someone vanished. The stallion to the right screamed then dissappeared into the forest.
Everything devolved into chaos as fear reigned. You through down your weapon and ran, before a stinging pain in your leg made itself known…
Got to… get away… can't stand anymore, have to crawl… can feel the sickness in the wound spreading… heartrate slowing… pain! Pain! Every muscle on fire! Froth in your mouth chokes you! Pain! pain… pain fades… all fades…

You emerge from the woods to find a scene of intense carnage. Dead ponies and even a few griffons and goats are strewn everywhere, many of them bloated and swollen like the other. They all wear green headbands, and all but a few died painfully, with a few having instead had their necks snapped.
Several bloodtrails lead inside the cave… which Lavender immediately beelines to.
No no no… this is where Greenbite lives! How did the Chosen find him?
>>587783
>>587787
The mares eye each other and nod.
"Biting?"
"Nah, le's be civil. Buckin'?"
"No reason why not. Wings tied or free?"
"Free. Toe the line or free range?"
"Free range."
They shake hooves.
"Goddamnit…" he mutters, putting his head in his hooves.
"Right, I'm headed over there to see if I can restore the peace. Somebody find the mayor! We need to keep this from getting out of hand!"

She was hunting. It was rare they found one of the scaleskins, but when they did it was always a good way to gain honor by sinking your weapon into them…
The group closed on the cave, her comrades pressed close as they crept forward…
A yelp, and someone vanished. The stallion to the right screamed then dissappeared into the forest.
Everything devolved into chaos as fear reigned. You through down your weapon and ran, before a stinging pain in your leg made itself known…
Got to… get away… can't stand anymore, have to crawl… can feel the sickness in the wound spreading… heartrate slowing… pain! Pain! Every muscle on fire! Froth in your mouth chokes you! Pain! pain… pain fades… all fades…
>>587786
With a call, she takes off, yelping a little from the slash in her side before winging it towards the town.
Another growl fills the clearing. Shadows flit back and forth between the trees.

There's plenty of pony blood around… but the majority of the blood smells too acrid for it to be an equine. It's an almost sulfuric scent… and it seems to make up the majority of the bloodtrail.

Money don't matter, just state whether what you're betting is reasonable or not. Let's say that five hundred is a good chunk of your money, but not enough to ruin you if you lose.

As you creep forward, you peek around the corner and see several ponies in green headbands gathered around, laughing as they poke and prod at their captive.
Their captive is an large lizard-like creature, with dull gray scales and wicked-looking claws, it's teeth serrated and built to kill. It would be an intimidating sight, where it not currently tied down with all four legs spread, nails driven through each appendage to hold it down, countless cuts covering it's body as they continue to jab their weapons into it.
The blindfolded head keeps whipping around trying to trace each pony as they laugh, growls rumbling around the enormous rock shoved into it's mouth as a gag.

Though they have panicked drive, you have the blessing of nature. You weave through the forest as though it were open plains, quickly overtaking them as they arrive at a rock formation in a small clearing. There's a blood trail leading off into the forest.

You can see the forest canopy passing overhead as whatever it is drags you to whereever you're going. The light hurts your eyes, your head bouncing as you hit a bump. Everything hurts… it hurts to exist… why can't you go back to sleep…

The thing is over to the side, stirring up a small fire and throwing wood into it, occasionally scratching at something on the ground.

You could swear you heard him chuckle.

Your dart goes right into his eye as he aims, sending his arrow wide. Your dart's won't pierce his skull, but that should throw his aim off.
The fact he's now laying on the ground screaming helps too.

Venture's clearly the better grappler, but she's in rough shape from getting used as a punching bag earlier. Their contortions and struggling gets downright awkward at times.
Soon, the dust obscures your view for a moment….
When it clears, the two are locked belly-to-belly, glaring each other in the eye as they find themselves unable to advance on the other.

Your dart makes him go rigid, making him a sitting duck for Boon's long rifle. Gore and grey tissue splatter as the back of his head explodes into a red mist.

From the ashes of the second chanter rises something… wrong. It's shape is vaguely equine, but it's head is covered in patches of thick scales and lumped flesh like melted candlewax, Three eyes blinking sluggishly as it slowly rises up. One hoof bearing a single enormous claw clacks against the floor, followed by a talon bearing eight claws, crackling with dark energy.
It's a twisted abomination from your darkest memories…
And to Julia, it's terrifyingly familiar.

"Only place it matters; wherever they found me. Bullies, rivals, challenge-seekers… Ah learned quick, but ah got the lumps to show fer it."
She glances at Clouded before taking her next drink.
>>590116
"Whatever it is, it's dead now." Redstone speaks up. "We should get the kids and head back into town."
She doesn't even flinch, picking you up and throwing you at Boon.
He manages to catch you, grunting in pain at the impact before pushing you back to your feet.
"Mebbe the scaley fella's itching fer payback?"
>>590114
You get blasted back by a bolt of dark energy that sets you flat on your back.

From the ashes of the second chanter rises something… wrong. It's shape is vaguely equine, but it's head is covered in patches of thick scales and lumped flesh like melted candlewax, Three eyes blinking sluggishly as it slowly rises up. One hoof bearing a single enormous claw clacks against the floor, followed by a talon bearing eight claws, crackling with dark energy.
It's a twisted abomination from your darkest memories…
And to Julia, it's terrifyingly familiar.

She's got a really nasty gash down her leg, almost surgical in it's precision. Without medical attention, the muscles might not be able to heal properly…
And this could be a challenge to fix, even for you.

Not too hard for an old soldier like you. You're used to getting knocked down.
And now you're back up, ready to face this abomination.
>>590123
They guide you over to a tree covered in moss, Redstone laying down first and wrapping his wings around you, holding your back against his chest as Ruby snuggles beside you.
"We've got to keep you warm so you don't go into shock," she explains, shifting in closer. "Now take a rest. you've earned it."
>>590125
She sighs, holding you close and stroking your mane as you cry your heart out.
"There there, you've been through a really bad thing haven't you? But it's over now… Me and Redstone are here for you now…"
>>590124
"Please do. And get Sweetherb or somepony. I'm not sure if moving her in this condition is wise."

They poke their heads up when they hear you approach.
"W-we heard it roaring… d-did you get it?"
>>590128
It takes you a minute to catch your breath.
Boon fires right into her stomach, making her double over as she rolls away.
"Wait, where's Lavender?"
The abomination starts to charge up another blast of dark energy in it's talons…

For once, you take the time to actually aim.
And it works wonders.
The beast screams as the dark magic explodes in it's talons, splattering them all over the room and burning away at the side of it's body.
It's hate-filled glance turns to you, it's one large talon dragging on the ground…
As you notice Lavender untying the giant lizard.
>>590133
It's hard to keep your eyes open, but the fact that Ruby is looking right into them helps. She has pretty eyes; nothing as special as yours, but a very soothing shade of pink… she looks so concerned about you…
It's hard to remember what exactly happened while you waited… but you know you didn't fall asleep once.
>>590134
"Really? It looked dead before, and it just came back…"

As you loosen the restraints, she rips the blindfold off him and takes his head into her hooves, looking into his eyes…
Without warning he surges up, breaking the few remaining ropes you haven't cut through and pinning her to the ground, spitting out his gag…
then blinking down at her and running his tongue up her neck, making her giggle.
>>590138
"You cut off it's head?"
they all climb out and stare at you.
"That is so cool!"
"You're like a knight or something!"
"Can you be my new mommy?"
They all stare at the filly who blurted the last line, who blushes and hides her face.
"What?" she huffs indignantly.

One of your shots connects, but the other goes wide as you get slammed back by the Brawler.
She grins sadistically at you as she draws her hoof back…
Only to scream as the lizard bites down on her hind leg, yanking back and dislocating it as she starts to convulse.

You drive your blade in deep, sending it into convulsions, it's talon clutching at it's chest where you stabbed it.
It glares down at you, but before it can respond…
>>590143
Greenbite can help! Look at that!
Sure enough, the lizard thing, bleeding as it is from multiple wounds, still manages to drag itself over with impressive speed, latching onto the warped abomination and starting to tear it to shreds, first ripping off it's legs, then tearing into its torso in a horrific explosion of thick black blood and gore.

There's multiple intruders, about six or so ponies. They're rather easy to spot, considering they're standing around in the open. They all have bright blue headbands with angular lines and patterns stitched into them. Two of them are approaching your group, making Redstone tense and cover you with his shield while Ruby levels her spear at them, while the rest are busy examining the remains of the wolf-pony-thing.
>>590719
"Aww, I wanted to see guts!"
"You dummy, that would mean she was hurt!"
"I know, but guts are cool! they're so slimy and icky and slide all over the place-"

"So how'd you kill the monster? did you grind it up?"
"Chop it into pieces?"
"Burn him?"

They seem more interested than intimidated, Oohing and reaching out to pet him. He ruffles a bit at first, but once he realizes their intent he perches near them, stretching with a smug look on his face as they stroke his feathers.
One of them approaches slowly until Ruby yells and brandishes her spear, then takes out some… leaves and pastes of some sort, gesturing towards your injured leg.
>>590727

"Hey, maybe we could use it as a football!"

The one working on your leg finishes up, then dips his hooves in something and draws his hooves against your cheeks three times, smearing lines of something that feels a little sticky across them.
"Whoah, whoah, what's up with that, buddy?" Ruby and Redstone are understandably tense.

Like most homes here, it's a simple log structure lacking much in decor or originality, but it makes up for that in functionality. It keeps the rain out, stays cool when it's hot out and warm when it's cold out, and basically serves as a dwelling. Clouded is seated on one of the sitting cushions, not looking at anything in particular.
>>590754
After a moment, he nods, then starts painting Redstone's cheeks with what you can now see to be some sort of blue paste. He tenses, but doesn't interfere.
"I know that, but… geez, this is creepy. What do they want?"

Ruby relents as the native paints her face too.
"Maybe… I guess they don't like it either…"
The other native turns around, then puts a string necklace bearing several large, sharp teeth into your lap. He gestures to the neck of the beast, then the necklace, and back.
>>590759
"No." She's not looking at you.
"…did you even notice?"

>>590763
There's not any teeth left in it.
He frowns and shakes his head, gesturing to the cut in the neck with a chopping motion, then to the necklace, then makes a gesture as if holding something out to you.

He watches you for a moment, then seeing that you're only holding it and not putting it on, he nods and steps back, as do the other natives.
Turning away from you, they all head off into the woods, disappearing as suddenly as they came.
>>590766
"Then how have you not seen… Am I not part of your 'situation' then? Is that why you never noticed me?"
>>590767
"Oh dear. The poor girl seems destined to become an amputee. Still, I'll see what I can do."
You arrive at the rocky outcropping where you found the kids.

"Well that was wierd," Redstone mutters, glancing between the two of you. "Though I must say, I might not know what it's supposed to mean, but that facepaint looks good on you two."
>>590770
"Then why, Blue? Why are you always eyeing up every other mare who passes by, saying how fine their flanks are or how beautiful they are… why don't you ever look at me?"
>>590771
She grimaces as she sees the blood on the ground.
"We better hurry."

She remains silent for a minute, then stands up.
"All right then… go ahead. Make any comments you want to about me. How do I compare?"
>>590774
She adopts a smirk, then grabs some of the stuff the native was painting your faces with.
"Yes, we should~"
Redstone chuckles nervously, squirming underneath you.
"Um… can we talk about this?"

Upon my next reply, you shall emerge in the clearing where Krystal is.

"Good idea, Krystal," she snickers, "we can make a smiley face on his belly."
>>590778
"Hmn."
She stretches, giving you a good view of every muscle and curve as she bends and twists her body.
"I could say the same for you. You've got that lean, toned look that doesn't make you look like a blowup balloon, but instead like an athlete. I like that in a stallion."

So, Magistre was in the middle of an angry mob, where things are currently starting to get ugly.
Ambrosia just led Sweetherb and a small group of guards to find Krystal and Ruby painting up a disgruntled but resigned Redstone, her injured leg mysteriously bandaged up, and all three bearing facepaint in the form of three blue stripes across each cheek.
Oh, and Julia, Askeladd, and Pejula were battling an Eldrich abomination alongside an enormous lizard thing. So there's that.
Also Blue Skies is screwing his sister.

"Well, whoever did this, they have a decent understanding of what they're doing. It's temporary at best, but it certainly bought you some time. Still, we need to get you back, and soon."
>>592216
Apparently their kids have gone missing and the captive is to blame.
She's right in the thick of it.
>>592213
You sure are. It looks like you're losing the crowd; they've started to crash against the door, making it's hinges shudder as the wood cracks. Off in the distance, you see a guard waving frantically.
>>592219
"Let's get lost people!"
Start receding out of the cave.
We could collapse the ceiling if everyone left.
For the moment, lay suppressive fire.
'3d10'
2 with +1, last with +2 from Boon.

Try to stop the ponies who are trying to crash the door with TK, to at least slow them down.

"All right, you two support her," she motions at Ruby and Redstone. "Take it slow, but keep moving."
The two press up close against your sides, Redstone spreading his wing and draping it over you and Ruby to hug you both close as they support you through the woods.
>>592221
>>592223
Your shots knock it back even further, causing it to stumble, then fall, crushing several more support pillars.
Catching your intent, the lizard swipes his tail and knocks down another support, then runs with the group for the entrance.
The roof shudders and groans overhead, then cracks and starts to fall.
"We're not gonna make it!" Boon yells.
>>592222
>>592225
It takes Gron's intervention to make them back off, several gearing up to charge only to think twice as they examine the scarred zebra.
Fortunately, a distraction arrives in the form of several children.
"Daddy!"
"Momma!"
"Hi Pops!"
THe crowd immediately seems to forget their earlier venom as they rush to embrace their children.

Grasp Boon in my talons and give a powerful wingbeat, propelling us outta here.

It's a string of beads with several sharp, jagged teeth threaded through it. It looks sort of like a trophy necklace, or a fancy piece of jewelry. Though, it seems much more natural than most stuff you'd find in jewelry stores; the beads are organic instead of metal, the teeth are real, and the colors seem to compliment the forest around you.
>>592233
Steady as a rock with them supporting you.
"So," Ruby chats idly as you move along, "what was with that you two did outside the cave?"
You can feel Red's heartrate increase.
"You… must have been focused on fighting that thing, and… seen something you didn't see…"
>>592229
Dodging artfully through the falling debris, you get out of the cave entrance just as it collapses behind you, pulling in for a graceful landing without so much as a single ruffled feather.
"…Warn me next time," Boon wheezes, clutching at his chest. "Damn ticker nearly gave out on me when ye grabbed me!"
>>592232
The cave entrance collapses right in front of you, only Greenbite pulling you back with his tail saving you from getting crushed.
Raising up on his hindlegs, he groans as he tries to support the ceiling, his legs already beggining to buckle under the strain.
Oh no oh no oh no, Lavender whimpers as her eyes dart about, what do we do what do we do what do we do?

"W-well, no…" He blushes and looks the other way.
"So, what did you "imagine?" " Ruby asks playfully, though there's a bit of strain in her voice.
>>592243
You manage to keep the roof stable, but it's only a matter of time before you're overwhelmed.
>>592242
They're nowhere to be seen, and the entrance has collapsed behind you.
>>592245
"Blue, I think," Redstone remarks absentmindedly.
"They know their medicine," Sweetherb remarks, "though their supplies are rudimentary at best."

It seems that way. Captain Cutter walks up, wiping sweat off his brow.
"That was far too close," he mutters, before turning to the guard. "You there! Where did you find the children?"
"One of the scouts found them out in the woods, sir! They were wounded and had to send them back with a guard!"
>>592257
The Lizard lowers his chest and charges out of the entrance, knocking rocks loose and clearing a path…
>>592256
Before slamming into and landing on top of Julia.
Lavender follows him out, then turns and yells to Askeladd.
"Come on, RUN!"
>>592261
"Didn't look like that to me," she remarks dismissively.
"W-why are you concerned about this?" Redstone stammers. "We're not even dating yet…"
"I know we're not- wait, 'yet?'"
"Uh… I-I mean-"
>>592260
So do I. Now, that gash doesn't look like the kind a wild animal leaves. It's too precise and measured. What exactly happened?"

"I'm wondering that as well…" he growls, glaring at the guard, who gulps and stands straighter.
"T-they never left through the gate, sir! Only some scouts and workers have been through!"
>>592273
"Intelligent? What was it's purpose? This seems… cruel."
>>592270
Boon helps you up as the lizard rolls over, giving a loud hiss that you assume is a groan. He's bleeding pretty badly from countless wounds.
>>592269
With rocks falling all around you, the sprint for the entrance ends with the walls collapsing so close behind you you can feel the rush of air on the back of your neck.

I wipe my sweat and pant.
"I'm getting too old for this, that is a close one" I nod at Julia and Boon, before turning to Lavender.
Are you okay? I inspect her and see if she is hurt
…. what is that thing back in the tunnel?

He gulps it down greedily, a long prehensile tongue reaching out and swirling around inside the bottle to lap up every drop even as the bleeding starts to slow. His reptilian eyes regard you curiously as he lays back, mumbling something in Native.
"Eh, care to translate, ma'am?" Boon asks Lavender.
He's wondering why you are not trying to kill him.
>>592278
I'll be fine.. she smiles and shakes herself vigorously, creating a large cloud of dust.
Whew! That was incredible! I haven't had that much fun in a while!

"Their faults are not only theirs, Captain."
Keep staring him down.
"The hostile group of natives have assassins who managed to sneak up on me on an open field without anypony noticing. How do you expect me, or anypony for that matter, to feel safe within a walls when a group of children can outsmart the guards?"

I frown as I scratch my head, feeling and realizing that I am acting like a parent for this adventurous little pone.
…. fun in a way yes. But that is quite dangerous. Something like that can keep the blood running after for sometime but we cant take such dangerous risks like that. Hell we can.. and almost got killed by that you know that Lavender.
I then close my arms as I chuckle at the lizard
I'm glad that lizard or friend of yours is safe and all of us got out of it, but we need to get out of here or maybe more of those hostiles might come back, we need to get to your village ASAP. Alright? I pet her head softly.
>>592285
I look at you and chuckle at the sight.
"Pfff.. We cant linger here, lets pack up and get straight out of here."

"Those assassins were camoflauged, and we've got detection spells ready for next time. What I want to know is how they got out without anypony noticing."
Several of the ponies nod their heads.
"I was wondering that myself…"
"What were you thinking, boyo?"
"Well? care to explain yourselves?"
The children chuckle nervously as they become the center of attention.
"Um… through the secret door?"
>>592288
"That… makes a sick sort of sense."
She shudders.
"I just don't understand what makes one resort to such… barbarism."
>>592286
"Duh, of course I like him! Why else would I put up with his lack of confidence? My problem is that he kissed you! Without my permission!"
"W-wait, what?" Redstone sputters, "s-since when-"
"Oh, come on, you know I've been obsessing over her eyes, and her flanks, and just about her in general since she showed up! Why'd you go and shoot me down like that?"
"I…I didn't-"
>>592285
Well… most ponies don't like Lizards like him, they're loners, so most don't know much about them.
He mumbles something else.
He says that… generosity is… unusual for ponies. Which… isn't necessarily false…
>>592290
>>592292
True… I suppose we should get goi–WWWHAA!
Suddenly, the lizard lunges, latching onto her leg and flipping her over, grinning evilly before diving in and starting to blow loud raspberries on her belly.
nnnnnnoooooooooooo!!! She laughs uncontrollably, the connection flickering as her legs kick uselessly in the air. s–sstttooopahahahahahaha–

"Look.. I'm just happy to be alive, when he did that I was so scared I couldn't even talk! I'm sure he was just trying to help.. and he did look really heroic."
I ramble on a lot like that, leaning closer to Ruby as I do, out of consequence from leaning away from Redstone.

Greenbite finally lets up, nuzzling her cheek and flicking his tongue out as he says something else, making her flush red and swat at him.
Damnit, now's not the time for that! Maybe later, when you're not cut to shreds.
He nods, then glances at his home and continuing to speak.
yes, i know you liked it, but we'll find you someplace new to live, okay? besides, it was worth trapping one of them inside, wasn't it?
He grins and nods vigorously.
>>592302
"Well, if he was helping, then maybe I should help too. After all, we're a team, aren't we?"
With that, she leans in and kisses you right on the lips, her tongue immediately forcing it's way past your lips and into your mouth.
Redstone gapes at the two of you, his wings starting to stiffen even as he tries to pull closer to you.
>>592301
"…It's right against the wall, where nopony would look."
"It's our secret place, for when we don't wanna get followed!"
"Shush, you're gonna get us in trouble!"

Nodding, Greenbite pulls himself up, then takes off into the forest, disappearing before you can blink.
don't worry, he does that, Lavender sighs. He'll be back before you know it. Come on, let's go.
And so the group heads out once more.
>>592311
"Yes. One less thing to worry about, I suppose."
You arrive back at town, where several guards are waiting.
"WHat happened out there?"

Soon you hear a series of screams and weapon fire, followed by several cracks.
A dead body bearing a Green headband flies out of the brush and lands in front of you, neck snapped.
That would be Greenbite, Lavender sighs. Don't worry, he'll be done soon.
>>592319
>>592320
"Come on, let's get you to the Ward," Sweetherb interjects. "That leg needs attention…"
She gives Krystal an exasperated look.

They point to one of the buildings off in the distance.

Interjects. As in interupts.
"Our pleasure," Ruby smirks, bumping your side a little. "So, how was Redstone? A little clumsy at first, or was he a natural kisser?"
Redstone seems to be having trouble keeping his wings down.
>>592325
"Okay…"
"We're coming too," the parents state. "and then we're going to have a long talking-to with them about sneaking off into the woods! Somebody might have gotten hurt!"
>>592327
I'm linked with him right now. There's only three-
a wet-sounding squelch sounds out nearby, making Lavender wince.
-two of them left. And Lizards are very good at sneaking when they want to be.
