"We're the ones planning to backstab them, remember? It doesn't matter, though. If you're set against it, I won't argue. It just leaves the slaves in their hooves a while longer and puts them in harm's way to keep them there."

SNEAKING TEAM: Kilana, Codar, Pumpkin, Godric, Ambrosia
BUYING TEAM: Smouldering, ID, Radiant, Venia, Sunrise
The teams split up, with the sneaking team heading for the abandoned tower, and the buying team tot he main gate.
The tower is a little worn down. A part near the top has collapsed, and should grant access over the wall. It can be used to reach the inner yard, or the slave pens.
The six guards at the gate are minding their own business.

But sneaking was never allowed here…. master said so a lot of times!

There is an skylight that leads to a seemingly empty room on the top floor, several balconies including one overlooking the back yard arena, and a few busted windows.
It seems there are few formal guards, mostly just lounging slavers and their merchandise.
Of note, one mare looks like she doesn't belong at all with the others. She looks entirely different. But isn't a slave. She keeps near a big, sly looking pony.

Your eye feels like it's on fire all of a sudden. It refuses to see things for you. It fights your control and feels like it's twisting itself inside your skull.

Being a useless shit, he leaves the door ajar anyway.
He then goes to find the boss. A big pony with a rater pretty and unfittingly well kept mare at his side
"Boss! We got buyers! They want to see the entire stock."
"The entire stock?"
"So they say"
"Holy shit this must be our lucky day. Go round them up then. They key to the slave pens gate is in my office. And round up the working ones too."
"All of them?"
"Well obviously not the ones in the bungalows"
"Right, right, wouldn't want to disturb paying customers"

"Old friend of mine told me. I thought we could… capitalize on it."
The big boss laughs and puts a hoof on her flank
"And so we did. I need to go for a sec and make the deal down there. You coming?"
"Let me… freshen up first ok?"
"Pff, fine. See you down there."
The boss leaves the room.
>>381968
Looking down into the walled off pens, you can tell they are mostly shacks, not unlike a pig pen. Cramped and run down.
You can make out at least a dozen slaves.

So to recap
-The boss is in this office, reading his notes
Current slave stock: [1d20+30]
-The guard finished his chat, opened the slave pens gate and is watching it
-Mistral will probably need to wear a saddle for the rest of her life and never lay on her back again. But at least she won't get in the way. Or talk.
Roll #1 11 + 30 = 41

It feels rather sickening, having your very life drained from you. It feels like bleeding. Bleeding out time. Years of your life. Or maybe that's just the body trying to tell you this can kill you. Because it can.
Mistral stops writhing and calms down a little, but her eyes are still wild and she is breathing quite sharply.
And that back's gonna look gross quite possibly forever…

Sigh.
"Well, that's going to need fixing. Likely be easier just to get a new one…"
And I'll trot back over to the others and then idly inspect the damage. Given a forge and some time, I should be able to hammer this back into shape and buff it out, right? '1d10'
Roll #1 4 = 4

He must be the male DD trying to keep warm, dressed in a vague loincloth while out in the snow

They huddle for a moment, then turn to nod
"Sounds fair.
…with what money?"
>>383003
It will take some time.
Maybe you could ask the smiths over at Ironfoe?
>>383004
"…you sure?"
"Nothing we could do for you?"
>>383005
"It's ok to put me down for a while if you're tired…"

"I study and apply magic, help research and build magical constructs, and occasionally help with healing. All of this while working under High King Frostmourn, so I don't know what you could really help with. P-plus I don't have anymore of those, watch."
reach into my silly hat and try to pull out another couple gold bricks which wouldn't work anyways '1d10'
Roll #1 7 = 7

A few coins. No bricks.
"You sure? We could arrange your stuff for you."
"Dust your books"
"preen your quills"
"polish your wands"
>>383048
"Sure. Anything."
He shivers his way into the nearest bungalow and wraps a blanket around himself
"…that's better."
>>383054
"What's the catch?"
"It's obvious the crown won't just buy us a house out of generosity"
>>383055
"I… really have no idea."
>>383062
"The High King?
…I heard about him. Some kid who dreams of making an empire for himself, right?"

"Whisper? Never met him. He always sent a different courier. All I was told was to mark anything going to him with a red ribbon. And all he ever wanted was sheets of numbers."
>>383072
"So you'll be sending some kind of guards here or?"
>>383079
"Sounds noble… if naive."
>>383080
"But… we should be paid for services, not just… for nothing."
>>383084
"I wanted to end the wrongs my family had endured. And most of them were caused by father's mistakes. From his self-destructive habits to ignoring me to striking deals with Equestrian Blades to keeping slaves…"

"Numbers on sales, deals, the like. What was sold, when, for how much."
>>383117
"You know. Those masked assassins from the south. Dirty lot. Not a single honest hair on their body."
>>383119
"Hmm… I'd work for a month for it easily"
"I'd work for two!"
"I'd work for two and a half and do other things on the side!"
>>383121
"Since when do Wintersgrasp and Eaglecrest get along?"
>>383127

"Weren't you paying attention when I was explaining about the high King's hoof? I did mention the 'Late' king Ebonreth."
I'll hold up one of the Mountainbreakers.
"And I was throwing these around during the melee out here. King Frostmourn thought they would do more good on the field than gathering dust."

A deep silence falls
"…what?"
"Is this true?"
"The High King… defeated Ebonreth?"
>>383138
"That's… unbelievable."
>>383137
"I guess I'm kinda inbetween things, yeah."
>>383140
"Methods? No. But we did record all the new arrivals. Used a code. Very compact. Very clever."
>>383144
"I guess I just… failed to believe it at first."
>>383150
You're out of bricks.
They head off to get their clothes.
"What should we call you, mistress?"
>>383154
The griffon employee shakes his head
"Screw that idea…"
