Northlands Season 2 - Episode 5 DM No.380666[Last 50 Posts]
This is the story of a king who gave his everything so those who followed him could have a chance to see one more sunrise. Broken and exhausted, he now needs his allies more than ever.
And a dark heart has torn apart those who now, more than ever, need to stand united if they want any hope of succeeding.
EPISODE 5: …NOW WHAT?

You can have a skill from Expanded Skills bound to it. Stronger skills com with more drawbacks, like charge limits, cooldowns or crit failure penalties.

It wasn't even my idea. And why would I ever tell you when we shower in the first place?

You all gathered to meet Frostmourn
"While I'm out of commission, I want you to go out and deal with those slavers. I will not suffer them wandering the north, ruining countless lives.
I believe the best place to begin the search is the estate Ambrosia was held at. Go there, find what you can, and end that slave operation.
Then, we can proceed to Stormheart."

"Slavery is a thing that takes the innocent, strips them of all they are, and turns them to nothing more than broken shells. Not allowed to smile, not allowed to cry, not allowed to think or fly unless told to do so."
I'll shake my head.
"Imagine for a moment you, as a youngling, were told that your thoughts are not your own, your name is not your own, your life is not your own? That is how a slave lives. And why it is reprehensible."

"I- .. uhh.. I want to teleport, to break the bonds holding me to the ground.. I want to be able to fill the world with magic. So that everypony can do their work with the smallest of effort. I love learning, I love studying, I love putting forth what I learned and testing it to see if it works. Be- because One day there will be another pony, who wants to learn, who wants to create. There will be a pony who wants to know what others before them have done, and I want to help that pony because when that day comes I don't think I'll be alive..
With you, You might not remember. But when we were young it felt like there was only two of us in the library. I almost lived there, trying to find out how to control my teleporting, trying to make my magic safer to be around. Sometimes I saw you studying and- I don't I liked seeing another pony who buried themselves in written knowledge!
It- uh.. I don't know how to put any of this!"

You notice one book in the bookshelf is clearly more well-read than others. It is a book on myths and legends, and it has only been read up to a point.
The pages near where the wear and tare ends talk about the enhancing powers of Alteration, and its demonic origins.
A little more searching reveals a strange horn. Referencing back to the book reveals it is indeed, a demon horn.
Finally, you find a little diary.
…it seems Ebonreth topped his 'i's with hearts.
It also talks about him hunting down and killing a demon, then eating its heart. Entries after that seem to be his notes on how well his training is advancing.

"I believe such contracts are honored, though only if valid."

"The slavers we aim to track are grossly abusing their charges, and promoting lifelong slavery for the pleasure of those with enough coin. It is beyond reprehensible to any who cherish freedom."

I shake my head
"Now is not the time to bother Frostmourn though… He'll want to rest. We'll have to discuss this further after we've dealt with those filthy slavers."
I perk up and blush as Pumpkin enters, jumping out of bed quickly.

"Keep Frostmourn safe, will you? I'll make sure to look after Sunrise too."
I start making my way out of the room before coming to a stop as I remember something
"And if you could… tell everypony back home that I'm doing good and… that I miss them all."

It was a little tricky, but you hold the wire, cut it, and tie it again to a small stake you slap into the ground nearby.
As long as nobody touches that one, you're clear.

Doesn't feel proper sneaking around here…

They have not been alerted, but it's hard to get a reading from so far off.
There are six guards at the inner gate.

As you take to the air you realize the inner yard is too open to safely fly over.
You need to use the guest house rooftops, or go by ground.
By the sound of it, there are also ponies in the bungalows.
