You have seen the end
You know it is close
WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR HEROES Neith had been chosen as the new Lady of Frost, and the party had regrouped outside the gates of Tambelon.
A mysterious white alicorn had been spotted back at the Gardens of Chaos, and many questions remained unanswered regarding the true nature of the mission at hand.
Twilight Sparkle stands ready to teleport you back to the Palace of Lights when requested, or you may do something else first if you wish.

You freeze the ground near him, causing an undead pony carrying a large amount of flaming oil in barrels to slip and roll all the way to the library ruins, destroying anything that was worth finding there
SO THE PARTY HEADED TO THE GARDENS
The landscape has stopped shifting for the most part, and only a few signs of life remain.
The crater left by Discord's death still remains.
Curiously, the surroundings seem to react more actively when Neith is closeby.

>>89013
You can see the Alicorn not too far away. It seems to be fighting some of Discord's surviving high priests.
>>89009
You realize that among your demigod friends, you are a very lowly pony who can do little more than wave a knife around and hide.
>>89011
>>89012
Things seem more… chaotic near her. Plants sway in odd ways, rocks float, water flows backwards. You assume it has to do with the Twisted Soul.

As you arrive to a clearing you see the Alicorn, somewhat bloodstained, blasting one of the high priests apart with a spell.
She is large, with a pure white coat and a deep red mane. Her horn pulses with visible power. Overall her appearance is very intimidating, as if she was as powerful, if not even more so, than the very gods you have faced.
The high priests seem to share this sentiment, and the surviving three appear terrified.

>>89059
You whip one of the surviving priests across the neck, causing him to stumble and get caught by the Alicorn's magical attack.
He dies horribly.
>>89060
Noticing the one crawling away, you plant your blade in his brain, finishing him off.
One priests remains, and the Alicorn picks him up telekinetically.
"WHERE IS DISCORD?!"
She seems very angry about something.
The priest just whimpers

You fall through nothing for a moment, then reappear in the Palace of Lights
The Sun and Moon are on their thrones. Two griffons, clad in golden armour, stand by the thrones. A bit further away, two pegasi and a unicorn are chatting.
On closer inspection the Unicorn seems to be Valiance.
Manifest Destiny is moving nervously at the side of the room.
Faust looks around and then focuses her sight on the Virtuous Sun and Vigilant Moon
You must be the gods of this world
That we are. Yes. And who are you?
A messenger. A harbinger. An avatar of the True Creator.
Interesting. How can we help?
They begin talking.
You can use the time to talk tot he others.

"This is not right… she is no avatar of the creator… no… that cannot be right…"
>>89167
"Well met, well met indeed. I am here to serve, in afterlife as in life proper. The Three Lights saw it fit I be among their elite guard in preparation for a coming battle."
>>89175
The two pegasi look over to you
They look remarkably similar. Possibly siblings or other close relatives.
"Greetings. I am Dearly Decorated, and this is my son, Gracious Glory. We were called to join preparations for a possible coming battle."

"The two you see by the thrones - Fairness and Fearless, champions of Virtue and Vigilance, once fought alongside me, and trained Gracious. They were summoned to guard the Lights."
>>89190
"I would suggest you ask the smith Narpa for it, not me."

"I was once among the top warriors in Equestria. Gracious fared no worse, serving Celestia in life and death. Valiance… well I'm sure he can tell his story better than I."
>>89205
Narpa, the smith of the gods, is waiting by his massive vault
"Welcome back. What is it you seek?"

I bid you farewell then."
>>89217
Narpa presents you with your armour, now polished to a mirror finish and repaired of all former damage
"Better than when it was first forged."
>>89219
You find a small pool in the palace gardens

"Honestly? I don't trust her. She may know more about the divine than we do, and this talk of a 'true creator' coupled with what Grogar told us about Beyonders is disturbing."
I take out the book I took from the library.
"Pair that with her obvious power and she is incredibly dangerous. Odds are her goals will intersect with ours before long."

"Much, much appreciated. This armor holds a lot of sentimentality for me… and to see it in such excellent condition really lifts my spirits. Thank you so much, Narpa."
I give him a small hug, return the Crystal Armor and equip my own armor, then head to the library. Any necromancy books, so I don't have to keep awkwardly translating?
Rolled 10 = 10

"You may take what you need from the armoury. There should be Ironwood and Ironwave armour of all grades,and many kinds of shield.
As for morality and mortality, I have no real understanding of them. Perhaps the gods know better."
>>89226
You let your body once more melt into water, and this time it does not shatter. You flow yourself around a little, getting used to exceeding the limits of flesh. After a while you feel confident enough to try some other forms. A stallion, a donkey, a bucket of water, more wings, no wings… you think you got the gist of it.

You take the form of a magnificent flaming alicorn, truly the most demanding of all transformat- no wait that's your default form.
Looks like you're kinda bad at this.
>>89243
Your butt turns into Nightmare Moon's again. Looks like you focused on the wrong imagery.
Getting rid of it is DC8
>>89252
You find Medium Crystal Armour and a gold lined shield that bears the symbol of a bandaged heart.

You tuck the fire wings away and grow smaller in size. Then you grow horns and cloven hooves.
Finally you return to normal. You may now shapeshift into a new form as a basic DC6 spell.
>>89261
Yes if you know exactly what you want to find.
>>89263
You got rid of the butt.
You may try one more time if you want.

You find some rather conflicted information. While some sources only refer to the Elemental Lords of Fire, Ice, Lighting and Earth, others point to non-elemental avatars like the ones of Day and Night, Compassion and Betrayal, Loyalty and Honour, and other abstract concepts like Generosity and Kindness.
>>89271
Your rapier SOMEHOW gets +1 to its grade
Just like that.
>>89273
Focusing harder, you are able to reshape yourself into proper corporeal constructs rather than just mist and illusions.
You can shapeshift into other things at DC6
>>89275
You can try again later
>>89253
Faust has finished with the gods.
She gives a disgusted look at the Avatars of harmony and leaves for the residential area.
>>89278
No such thing exists in the vault
You instead find a rune shield, which stops all spellcasting when used.
>>89281
It is if you beef it. I remove the "no TPK" rule after him.

I wave a hoof dismissively
"Acting like a glorified taxi is all you can do? I've seen what your elements can do. Turning immortals into mortals is probably only one of the many things you can do with it. If you fought alongside us we could find out what other powers they hold! Think of all the evil that could be purged!"

He presents you with everything you left.
>>89328
"Would it matter? You are my avatar, an extension of my will."
>>89329
The Avatars of harmony mill around awkwardly, then Rainbow Dash steps forth
"I'll come with you."
The others look shocked.

Keep kneeling and looking determined, almost gritting my teeth as I speak.
"Yes, it would matter. I was lied to. I was betrayed. And it broke my heart and spirit. I promised to myself that I will never be lied and walked on a leash again. It is one thing that I follow the Sun because what is right. But I will not follow it if the Sun decieves me for it's own gain. I am honest before you, oh Virtous Sun. As your Avatar, your extension of will, I demand the same. Are you honest with me, Oh Virtous Sun?"

>>89331
"The elements need to be combined to have any power, from what I understand. All six of you would need to join us for it to be of any use."

"We have fought Grogar as you have asked me to. I have served you, brought justice under your name. I decimated our enemies with the Wrath of Your Heat. But we did not outright killed him. We have interrogated him. You spoke of War, when he wasn't amassing forces. He wasn't preparing to launch an attack. We assasinated him. I have become what I grew to despise, simple henchmen, assasins without a cause."
I look down to the ground, with a tear in my eye.
"And on top of that, instead of being here in Paradise, Celestia was kept in eternal suffering in Hell itself, in Death…"
I look up again.
"I demand an explanation, oh Virtous Sun. Without lies."

"Oh, it's drama o'clock already? I did not notice. You were the aggressor, I was the one doing my job. I have not attacked anyone from our group, unlike you."
>>89352
"Why not? What makes them so much more important than us? Anypony can be replaced. Celestia and Luna may have died, but their avatars were passed on. Tirek is prepared for our arrival and we will need as much aid as we can get."

"Celestia, the brightest of my Avatars, gave all of her to serve me, down to the last light of her soul. I could not save her even if I wanted. I would need to expend the power of another god to repair a soul as spent as hers.
Yet you speak of cause. Of right and of wrong. She knew of right cause. She knew our vision was worth her all. A vision of a world without evil. Without chaos and death and destruction. Without madness and sorrow and corruption. A perfect world."
>>89355
Manifest Destiny coughs
"I fear… I may disagree."

"You seem very fond of the bad things of the world. You feel they are natural. They are not. Before the Dark Gods took their places, such things never existed.

"Had you gone by your divine duty and done as asked, the answer would have been yes. But now, in your short sighted insistence on some misbegotten concept of free will, you have roused the fury of Tirek against us in full. If you do not with the mortal world to be ruled solely by the Demon King of Destruction, you will gather the others and go defeat him before he can attack us here. THEN we can talk further. We will keep Faust here, where she is as safe as she can be."

So that the mortals can trade one slaver for another?"

"Tirek is amassing his armies of Midnight as we speak. Grogar warned him of this, and he is soon ready to mobilize. he knows what you did to his allies, and he will spare nothing to destroy us all. If you cannot stop him, he will remain as the sole god of this world, free to rule all as he pleases. We will give you all we can to aid you. This is why we have some of our top heroes here.

If you cannot stop him, he will remain as the sole god of this world, free to rule all as he pleases. We will give you all we can to aid you. This is why we have some of our top heroes here. To aid you against Tirek."

"Beyonders are incomprehensible to us. Perhaps he cannot?"
>>89479
"Then we may begin rebuilding the new timestream, removing the age old corruptions left by the Dark Gods. Or indeed, you may attempt some form of last stand rebellion, abandoning me and all you have held dear in your heart just because you feel bad things should happen to mortals."
>>89482
They seem to be fighting. Rather loudly.

"But why alone? I… I'm impressed by your determination actually. Something I would do myself if there was no other choice. But we are strong enough to take Tirek as long as we move in a group. As angry as I am at you, you are more useful in our group than venturing out there on your own."

"Cool story bro"
A large sigil, much like the one used to summon you all here, appears under Aenoi. In a flash, he is gone.
Back in the real world, but a moment had passed. He was once again helping the wounded in the aftermath of the Siege of the Necroponelis.
And none the wiser of what had just happened.
MEANWHILE THE REST OF THE PARTY WENT TO SEE THE SUN AND MOON.

Looking at the gods in this way makes your head hurt, as all they seem to be are swirling masses of impossible energies formed of mortal visualizations of concepts they barely even have a rudimentary grasp of.
You do offhandedly notice a rather worryingly large shape looming behind Manifest Destiny.
>>89819
>>89820
Then be still. This has never been tried before.
The Sun and Moon stand up and focus their power, extracting the hollow soul of Grogar and lifting Neith into the air.
She screams out as a part of her soul, the part that once was Discord, is torn out. She slumps down on the floor and takes a few weak steps back before sitting down to watch.
The gods unravel the souls into strands of energy and feed their own power into them, creating a maelstrom of magic in the throne room. The Laughing One joins in the ritual from behind you, channeling its power through your hearts, ripping out the fragments of Celestia and Luna left there from your fusion as the lord of harmony.
Slowly the fragments begin to separate and fuse anew, flung around the magical vortex and blasted with energy from the empowered souls.
Then, in a climaxing burst, the souls of the two dark gods explode, funneling their power into the partially formed Alicorn Sisters, momentarily blinding everyone present.
As you regain your vision, Celestia and Luna lie before you, exhausted and weak, but alive once more.

You rush to the former Sun Avatar's aid. Together you help her stand up, and as you do you notice the two griffons from earlier, Fairness and Fearless, are tending to the gods themselves. It seems this sort of a deed took a visible toll on the lights.
>>89829
It certainly is not a pony.
However it is very distorted, as if it did not like you looking at it.

You can visibly tell how their forms have grown weary. They still appear as swirling masses of nonsensical energy, but you can make out clear gaps in their shape and notice some energy bleeding out of them. Slowly, the energy flow is starting to stabilize within all of them, and their souls are beginning to grow brighter once more.
>>89839
You prop Luna up against you, helping her maintain her balance.
The gods look over you, sounding a bit winded
It is done.
If there is something you still need to do or someone you must still see here, now is the time
Once you are ready, speak with us and we will explain your final mission.

You have been summoned to serve as part of the war effort against Tirek, the last of the Dark Gods.
Any gear you may need in the future is with Narpa.
You are in the Throne Room, with the gods.

He still seems uneasy
"I… have listened to the master's guidance for ages now, yet even still I do not fully understand the working of him… and those of other Beyonders… It is all very complicated. But I have faith in the master."
He smiles softly and his mane moves a little on its own.

Card Trick of Equestria. Know that in your services in life, you have been chosen among many other heroes to serve in the war in the heavens. Know that soon the fate of all mortals will be decided, and a new ruler of all will be chosen - either the Demon King Tirek, Lord of Destruction, or the Three Lights of Virtue, Vigilance and Joy.
If you need arms or armour, speak with the smith, Narpa, at his forge near the Skyvault. If not, the other heroes who fight at your side can be found in this palace. If you require more information, we can answer, as can any of the others here.

Nah. It is just a lens you hold in front of your face.
Behind Manifest Destiny you can see a mass of energy that resembles parts of a Beyonder. It focuses its gaze onto you, but nothing happens. It briefly looks confused, then speaks inside your mind.
>What manner of pony are you, to look upon the creator and not flinch? What drives you to such deeds? Bravery? Or madness?

"Neith!"
I run over to her and lock her in a tight hug.
"It's been so long! How have you been? Aurelia and I tried to find out where you went after we parted way so we could send you letters, but we never found out. It's so good to see you again and that you're safe and sound! How did you do that ice thing? Did you figure out how to harness your aloofness? How do you look so young after all these years?"
>>89960
"Sol!"
I reach out farther than I should be able to and pull her into the hug as well.
"How have you been? You look older than I remember. How were your travels after that business with the dragon? Fight anymore Necromancers? Did you make any new friends?"

Normally, I would flinch, but behind all the revelations that have come, few things would surprise me.
"Above all, desire to find truth and elucidate it to all. Such is the very reason for my existence. Now, I ask, who are you? And what relation do you have with the events surrounding us?"

"Are you really? If so, why are we being sent to kill the gods of dark, when they have done nothing to provoke the lights' wrath? What damage to our world can we expect, and how might we… or you fix it?
And if you did not create Faust.. what is she?"

"You grew very well! You wear that armor with pride now, instead of just wearing it like regular armor. You said you met Neith again? This is a story I have to hear now."
I sit down and wait for her to tell the tale.

"Well, err, I met her before this I should say. It was some time ago…"
I pause, trying to recount the story,
"I was involved with an adventuring party who somehow became involved with the Duchess of the region- who even knighted me I might add!- and we were tasked with delivering something to a… researcher, if I recall clearly, in one of the mining towns stone ways away. Lo and behold, Neith was there as we arrived!"
I sigh as I reminisce about the past.

She gives a soft, if very tired smile.
>>89976
>I will not intervene. So long as my throne stands, I can recreate anything that is lost. But recreating everything will be a bother. Go about your business as you will, but know this - Faust is truly alien in this reality. She is a construct of true destruction, one who seeks to wipe out what I have created.

Is there any way you can calm it without compromising any of its power, or at least very little?"

Observing the scene, you begin to realize this mirror, rather than acting as a portal or vision device, is altering the properties of your magic. The results are similar, but the methods different.
Try doing something else to it.
>>90081
They give eachother an awkward look
"I am Twilight Sparkle, the element of Magic. These are Rarity the Generous, Applejack the Honest, Rainbow Dash the Loyal, Fluttershy the kind and… gah where is Pinkie?"

I was trying to reply to DM. I'm just talking until we get there.
"Nope. One of our party members died and I broke my neck trying to save him. It wasn't my time so Death brought me back and we were even able to exchange the life of the pony that killed him, I can't remember his name, for our dead party member."

>>90096
>>90090
YOU ARRIVE AT THE VAULT
"Greetings. What do you require?"
>>90098
Yes.
The mirror appears to be a physical manifestation of the twisted powers of Tirek. It perverts whatever hits it into an opposite.
And if this small shard can manage that much… the rest of the mirror could be much more powerful.
>>90099
"Under the light if the sun? I could think of no better place."

"Oh my, I imagine your outings must be quite extravagant in that case. Beautiful and adventurous, I like that a lot."
Switch over to Twilight now.
"And what about you? I've seen you before as well, you were pretty good with magic!"
Whisper into her ear
"When this is all over, you want to touch horns with me and exchange some magic?"

I show him my mace, repeaters, and armor.
"Narpa, what can you do with these? The mace feels like an extension of my hoof, but could stand to hit harder. What would you recomend for my repeaters? Can you add anything to my armor to help protect me from Tirek and his minions?"
>>90109
"Nope. He just sort of sighed, put his bony hand on his bony face, and told me he'd fix me when he got out of the bind our dead party member had put him in before stealing his scythe."

"Not even the dead have seen the end of war. We must still press on. Then, once we have won, we can think of the future."
>>90114
She takes a step back
"Is this really the time for that?"
>>90115
"The fire of darkness burns through any armour I can make, but come back before you leave for battle and your gear will be improved."

Twilight seems rather unimpressed by your boasts. She thought better of you, but you blew it.
Rarity on the other hand gets a sly glint in her eye and leans in a little closer
Dash share's Twilight's sentiment. She can spot a load of hot air a mile away.
Applejack however just seems mad. She huffs and turns to leave, then swiftly bucks you as hard as she can where it hurts. You might want to get some ice for that once you can stand again.
Fluttershy looks away from all this, not really wanting to be a part of it.
Pinkie trails a look as you fly through the air, and gives a little smile at what she saw.
With that small scene over, the elements return to discussing the coming battle.
Rarity does occasionally glance your way though.

"They are still vital in channeling the power of harmony, though I and my sister could once wield that same power ourselves. Perhaps it was the combination of these two that allowed the Lord of Harmony to be formed."

>>90313
The three knights turn to face you
"We will accompany you to Midnight Castle, and intercept Tirek before he can launch an assault against the Palace of Lights. Only the most skilled of us will go, as Tirek can bolster his army with any he catches in the Power of Darkness.
This should see Tirek slain before he can move out of his castle, or at least before he reaches the palace."
Valiance looks a bit worried and rubs his leg.

"No. But Celestia herself said we have no other choice."
>>90392
"Then… I'm truly, truly sorry, but you'll have to come with us into the fray. We already had connection errors during fighting Grogar. If Tirek has any sense, and he probably will, he'll try and jam the magic connection as well. And without your help, we are helpless against him. We need you to be there to activate your powers. And I won't lie to you. Some of you might not life to see the end of the battle if it will be as fierce as we expect it to be. Do you understand the weight of all this, Elements?"
"No. But Celestia herself said we have no other choice."

They all look rather grim and then slowly nod
"We already knew this was coming. We will give all we can to preserve the world and heavens. Even our lives."
AND WITH THAT, THE GODS CALLED A GRAND MEETING TO ORDER.
THE FINAL ASSAULT WAS SOON TO BEGIN.
THOSE WHO WISH TO UPGRADE THEIR WEAPONS TO +3 MAY DO SO WITHOUT ME.

Narpa has reinforced your weapons to +3 by now.
The Elements and Alicorns will be joining you unless otherwise decided.
Gracious Glory, Dearly Decorated and Valiance will be leading an assault against Midnight Castle. You may join their assault or go a different route.

I point at Twilight.
"You, you get some Crystal armor. It will give you enough defense without hindering your spellcasting abilites. You might also want to pick up a performance enchancing staff."
I point at Rainbow Dash.
"You, you get some of that fancy named armor that I can't remember the name of, but Narpa will now. Mithril or something. It need to be light for you to maneuver in. You'll need to swoop in and out with a sword, preferably with electricity or otherwise paralyzing trait."
I turn to Applejack.
"I think you could handle some heavy or superheavy armor, and probably a blunt weapon. You'll need to be on front of the vanguard to do that, but I trust you will do this to your friends. Or you can stay back with her."
I point at Fluttershy.
"I'll be honest with you, we won't get much use of you in combat. You should get something that makes you invisible. You can also try and ask Narpa if he has anything that might keep you safe in case you do get attacked. If he doesn't…"
I frown a bit "Come back to me…"
I turn to Rarity.
"Hey, lady! This is not the time! You also get some Crystal armor like Mag- I mean Twilight, as well as a staff. If you don't know any combat spells, ask Narpa for a staff with one that has."
I look at Pinkie.
"Hey, over here, and…"
I look puzzled for a second.
"Errr.. I've got nothing. You are like a kid… I'm not sure if you could be send to combat as well."
I point at Twilight.

Check to make sure no one can overhear us before speaking.
"I need to tell you this in case I am somehow incapacitated before I can tell everyone else. Listen carefully, and keep this to yourself until we are out of this place."
Look around again.
"I recently confirmed Manifest Destiny's stance. He appears to be serving a power far greater then even the gods, one who refers to himself.. itself as 'The Creator'. I managed to contact it, and it has confirmed that the white alicorn present a major threat to the existence of reality as we know, being the only thing that it has not created, an outsider that wants to demolish us, if you will. At this point I do not know if it is wiser to follow this chain of events and assassinate Tirek as ordered or hunt this white alicorn, but it seemed quite nonchalant about us just following 'orders'."
Look around again.
"Whatever happens, something major will shake everything. Prepare for absolutely anything. Killing the lights, killing 'outsiders', and should my suspicions about the mind of the Creator be true, killing it as well. All we know may come to an end soon, and there will be no telling what happens then."

I grumble. "Yet another deity? Why am I not surprised. I grow weary of being moved about like a game piece."
I look back up at him as I continue.
"I cannot believe I am saying this, but it does make sense. I had several misgivings about this alicorn from the beginning, and this does all fit her grudge with the higher powers. In truth, I'm no longer certain who to believe, but Tirek still represents a clear an present danger."

>>91777
"At this point, we are surrounded by threats. Tirek, the Lights, Faust… and that Creator. He strikes me as an almighty but neutral, uncaring figure, but those kinds could change their minds at any instant. I don't know how we're going to fight it or Faust, but we are the only ones who can do this now. I will speak to the rest of us once we're out of here, but I need you to warn everyone if I somehow am stopped."
Stare in the distance for a while.
"Go gorge yourself on gear at Narpa's. I suspect Faust will attempt to strike the Lights once we leave, hence why I approved of letting the princesses and the elements follow us into Midnight Castle. They will be worse off if they do not."

"Very well. I will keep your words in mind. For whatever it is worth anymore, I wish you whatever luck has left to offer."
I return to the forge, sparing a glance at the sudden anvil lying on top of Radiant.
"Sir Narpa, is my gear ready? I believe I will require it soon. And I don't believe that form of training will have any benefits, Radiant."

"Oh you. I know where I drop my comical heavy objects. I was never aiming to actually really hurt you."
A large iron spike falls on the sink, splitting it in half
The other Avatars return, wondering what all the commotion is about.
Twilight is wearing rather bulky, poorly fitting crystal armour which makes her movements awkward.
Rainbow Dash has traditional style pegasus armour and some additional weapons hooked up all over it.
Applejack is probably somewhere inside that walking mountain of iron.
Rarity is wearing what seems to be an extremely fashionable dress.
Fluttershy is nowhere to be seen.

I roll my eyes at Pinkie, then just simply point at all the dangerous heavy objects that fell down.
Then I turn to Twilight.
"That armor seems to fit you poorly, restraining your proper movement. I've seen that sort of thing kill a knight. Was this the only one?"
I turn to Dash.
"Good, good. Just make sure you know how to use those weapons, and bail out and just fly back to the others if you are in too much danger. We can't risk losing you."
I turn to Applejack.
"Well, that is some armor. I doubt you'll get too hurt, unless they have some dark magicians…"
I turn to Rarity.
"A dress? You want to go to combat in a dress? Where do you think we're going, a Ball? Do you think we'll have some tea and a pleasant chat with the demon hordes of Tirek?"
I try to calm down, then look around for Fluttershy.
"And with you, I'm either pleased that you found something that makes you invisible, or extremely dissapointed for not showing out. You can reveal yourself for now. Did Narpa have something for protection?"

Twilight kinda shifts inside the translucent mass of crystal
"Well… it was the most protective"
There is a very hollow "I'll manage" inside the iron chunk as it slowly stomps into line
Rarity huffs. "Darling please, form must always go hoof in hoof with function." She tinks the dress against a pillar, revealing it to be chameleon armour.
A tree in the yard meeps.

>>91837

"Alright. To be brief, I found out where Manifest Destiny's loyalties lie, to a being far more powerful than the Gods, calling itself the 'Creator'. It seems to care little for us, but Faust is apparently an outsider of some sort that has come to destroy us, his creations. Be prepared to face anything at this point, stock up on gear, bleed the avatars or whatever dry of any potential of your powers you have yet to realise, absolutely everything. I fear Tirek is only the beginning."

>>91858
"Well, Twilight, I'm not sure that an armor that lousy fitting will keep you alive… And I'm only worried for Applejack if she gets attacked by something fast moving or get hit by magic. That might be dangerous. Sometimes less armor is more. Also, Rarity, do you have any combat spells, or did Narpa provide you with something so you can cast them?"

I facepalm at Dash.
"Let's just stick with one sword or weapon, okay?"
Then I turn to Applejack.
"Yes, and my armour is heavy too, but still comfortable and gives enough mobility. You on the other hoof… I'm doing this for your own sake."
>>91883
"They won't have a problem surviving, they'll just need to stay back, and let us handle the frontlines."

And what a glorious sight they are to behold.
Celestia's suit is more well fitting than the old one she gave Radiant, and notably more ornate than the one she wore when fighting Ironhide. Solid and heavy, befitting her notable stature, this golden suit reflects her inner light in a near blinding manner.
Luna's, though lighter, is perhaps even more decorated, through subtle patterns in the rich cloth and metal inlays along the lengths of the plates. Ivory and porcelain form a starmap along her flanks, and her helmet shares much of the design of the one once used by nightmare moon.

Why do you still struggle
You have already failed
WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR HEROES they were just about to warp to Midnight Castle.
The Elements of Harmony as well as Luna and Celestia will join them.
Valiance, Gracious Glory and Dearly Decorated will lead a frontal assault against the castle to buy time.
Fairness and Fearless will remain to protect the gods.
This only leaves one final question - should Manifest Destiny come along, or stay behind?
Best decide quickly. The armies of the Lord of Destruction are gathering as you speak.

The Sun stares off into the distance
So, even death can die… Or, perhaps that is too dramatic. Death as a concept is most likely impossible to kill. However, you did, in a way, kill the afterlife. Or AN afterlife.
Also, your eye starts glowing again. Not as bright as it once did, but still better than the dim slab it used to be.

So, even death can die… Or, perhaps that is too dramatic. Death as a concept is most likely impossible to kill. However, you did, in a way, kill the afterlife. Or AN afterlife.
Also, your eye starts glowing again. Not as bright as it once did, but still better than the dim slab it used to be.
>>101701
The Elements are gathered in the throne room, and are making the final adjustments to their battle gear.
>>101702
You need not worry of death when facing Tirek. For he will grant you no such blessings. The Lord of Destruction will twist your bodies beyond reason and annihilate your very being if he so pleases.

Certainly. This is what the Harmony Conduit was created for. It is the antithesis of Tirek's Power of Darkness. And with it now infused to your souls, your blows will be anathema to him and his mutant children
>>101697
Manifest Destiny nods
"So be it then. I will stay here and hold my ground."
He looks to the sky and a shimmering sword appears on his hoof
"The master protects."

They are checking their stuff.
Rainbow Dash is trying to hide knives in her armour.
Twilight Sparkle is making a checklist to check she has everything ready.
Rarity is adding some ribbons to her dress.
Applejack is somewhere inside that colossal superheavy suit, eating an apple from the sound of it.
Pinkie looks the same she always did.
Fluttershy is not here, but the tree outside is feeding a squirrel some nuts.
>>101723
>>101725
"Speak with the Sun to confirm you are ready. Lady Twilight will teleport you all once everyone is done here."
>>101729
She is not far away, checking if her armour is on right.

Your mission is simple. Locate Tirek and slay him before he reaches the Palace of Lights. Then return to us so we may begin restoring the mortal world. We will send an army to fight Tirek's main forces so you have less to worry about.
>>101737
You gaze at the princess with your dead eye, and see the light in it fade away forever, this event reflected a hundred times over in the mirror polished armour of Celestia.
You are now half blind.
>>101741
The sounds inside the superheavy suit stop.
Dash and Twilight ignore you.
Pinkie raises an eyebrow.
Rarity spins around and smiles
"Dahling! You came back! Oh, you're not still hurting there, are you?"
The superheavy armour makes a hollow laughing sound
>>101747
You assume the form of water, and to your horror, forget how to maintain integrity of shape. You begin flowing and splashing everywhere, limbs dropping off and reforming in the wrong places, your voice distorted to a drowning garble.
You panic and try to grab the others for help, but you only drench them in your wetness.
After what seems like a chaos fueled eternity, you reform, panting heavily and coughing up water.
Everyone present is wet now, and they all look annoyed.

Rarity giggles, then puts on a more serious face. "Well I'm glad you feel that way dahling. But I don't know if now is the best time to be amorous."
You hear a sharp squishing sound. As you turn to look, you can see two crushed apples under the massive iron hoof of the superheavy armour.
>>101772
"I… can always try."
Rolling to Celestia Heal

Wipe my brow as I see the two apples being crush but keep smiling anyway
"Oh Rarity, don't be silly. A beautiful gem such as yourself should always be taken care of and praised. It's only natural! But perhaps you are correct, I fear battle will be upon us soon and I can only pray you and your lovely friends will remain unscathed."

The massive armour chuckles a little
Pinkie pokes you in the balls from behind then hops away giggling
>>101786
She smiles softly and wraps a wing around you
"Dearest Radiant, I only wish to serve now."
The Sun and Moon both rise and the Elements take their places before the thrones alongside the three generals.
If there is nothing else, please, come hither.
Your greatest battle is upon you. If you are ready, then the time for war is upon us

Then let it be done
Stay safe, and return victorious
Destiny nods
"The Master will see you to the end, slightly displeased as he may be."
The Three Generals bow to the lights
"We will head to the army and send off"
"We will fight to the last soul and body"
"Tirek cannot hope to win. I know him now."
Twilight powers up the teleportation sigil on the floor and casts a final look to the Sun and Moon
Our light be with you
Twilight of the gods
You all vanish into nothing as Twilight rends open space and drops you through reality.
Eventually, you open your eyes and see you are on the shore of a stormy lake.
In the middle of this raging water rises a jagged rocky spire, at the top of which lies a Tirek's seat of power - Midnight Castle.
In the far horizon, a wave of light is moving. It is the army of the lights.

"You already know this, Campfire and Gaius."
"Recently, I managed to confirm Manifest Destiny's loyalties. He appears to serve a being calling itself the 'creator', that is to say, higher than the gods, being a demiurge who created everything. It claims that Faust is an anomaly, not one of its creations, yet here in its world and seeking to destroy its work, and appears to care little for our individual fates."
"It sees Tirek as a small threat compared to Faust, and I fear going after Tirek is only the beginning. There is no telling what will happen after, be it having to face Faust, It, or.. anything. We should be prepared to face absolutely everything. All we can do is hope the lights and Destiny can fend of Faust when she arrives."
"That is all. Be wary for your safety."

Dunno. Ali didn't react so I'm assuming Neith went back to normal pony form after she turned into a puddle.

Your blast ice at the hulking guard, freezing its legs in place
It struggles to free itself as >>101950 Radiant strikes it, but only manages to bruise the armoured foe.
>>101951

Neith and Campfire both shank the guard, making it reel heavily
>>101957
And finally Gaius impales it.
After a short struggle, the guard flops and dies.
It drops the halberd on the ground as it dies.

IT ENDS
WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR HEROES they had reached the outer walls of Midnight Castle and slain the guard who was watching a side entrance.
The army of the lights will arrive in a while to draw away attention, but every moment wasted is a moment more for the last of the Dark Gods to prepare.

Well, yeah, sure, that works too.
You shatter most of the thick wood on the door, making a hole big enough to squeeze through if you don't mind scraping yourself on the broken lock parts.
Now you just need a way for the rest of the party, who, unlike you, are NOT water elementals, to cross the lake to get to the door.

>>104391
You freeze a path across the lake. It is a little flimsy though, so any who cross it should roll a DC4 check.
Except Applejack, who needs DC7 due to weighing a fuckload. And Fluttershy, who, being a tree, floats.
Rolling AJ - Twilight - Dash - Pinkie - Rarity - Luna - Celestia
Rolled 3, 5, 1, 7, 7, 9, 1 = 33

Groves and Rarity walk over calmly, watching their path to avoid cracks.
>>104397
Applejack steps on the bridge and immediately falls through it, sinking into the lake.
Twilight, Pinkie and Luna hurry over before the ice collapses under them
Celestia and Rainbow Dash aren't so lucky though, and in their efforts to grab applejack, both fall into the water.
>>104402
Radiant, thinking fast, leaps in to save them.
She passes them rather quickly, seeing as she in full plate, which is now known for its buoyancy.
>>104409
>>104413
Dawn and Gaius then dive after the lot, and drag them to the other shore.
Cold and drenched, the four feel kinda dumb about the whole ordeal.
Applejack takes off some bits of the armour to pour water out.

"Ah dunno 'bout that. There won't be more lakes in there, but there will be lotsa sharp things hittin' at me… But if ya says so."
She drops the helmet and the heavy flank pads, downgrading her gear to heavy armour.
>>104435
Seems like a small storage room connected to a stairwell.
This must be some form of emergency exit or boathouse.
There are no guards here.
>>104438
Celestia squeezes water out of her mane
"I'm fine, Lady Radiant."
>>104441

And what a stairwell it is. Hewed from the most pristine dark granite, with exquisite natural patterns and a fine polished finish.
It leads upwards at a comfy 35 degree angle and loops around before reaching a door.
>>104455
"That is entirely correct then, Radiant. You are the master here, I am but a servant."
>>104457
>>104462
>>104468
The room has some empty shelves and racks in it, as well a closed chest chained to a wall.
You can hear steps on the floor above, the sound of metal scraping, and soft breathing.

The hinges seem rusty. Try rolling if you want to open it.
>>104479
"By your will, Radiant."
>>104476
Being a very clever pony, you leap up and grab the ceiling, moving along it entirely unseen above the well lit floor.
>>104474
You slip a little on the stairs and make some noise.
Inside the next room two guards are talking to some kind of hideous monster.

The guards grab their weapons and the monster takes a step back.
>>104499
"If that is how you wish to roleplay this, Avatar of the Sun, then so be it."
After her words you leap in and strike a guard, staggering it. The other guard slams is halberd into your back and then pushes you away. Your back tingles a little.
The monster runs for the door.
>>104500
The chest bites down on your sword
>>104505
Before the guards can further attack either Neith or Radiant, you dash in and slam your weapon into the staggered one, collapsing it on the floor.
You then assume an incorporeal form and surround the other one, clawing at it. Your attack stops both guards but fails to kill either of them outright.

>>104514
You drop from the ceiling to finish off the stunned guard. However he reacts in time and lifts his halberd in your way.
You feel it bite deep into your belly as you fall helpless.
You also suffer (my roll) mutation damage*
If your mutation score goes over 100, you become a Midnight Dragon and lose your mid to Tirek
>>104515
You break away from the guard and instead use your endless starstuff mist to engulf the monster. You can get a good look now. It looks like a beyonder, only hairy and winged. It has a strange, long face and it is quite muscular.
It seems to be entirely lost in your fake pocket dimension, and open for attack.
+1 to rolls against the Mutant Beyonder
>>104516
You stab the grounded guard in the face, cleaving off a large chunk and killing it.
However as you turn you see the chest followed you. It also has legs now.
>>104518
You blast the other guard, sending it crashing into the mimic, which bites down on the guard, decapitating it.
>>104519
Finally, you pull yourself together and charge the mutant beyonder, who fails to see you coming and is nearly brought to its knees by the blow.
The Mimic and Mutant Beyonder remain.

With Radiant's help you stand up again.
>>104541
You swirl in closer, crushing the Beyonder, but it holds its own, and tries to peer through you
>>104544
And it succeeds. Seeing Neith behind Gaius' gripping mist, the beyonder bursts out and kicks the Lady of Frost across the room like a football.
>>104549
Radiant focuses her power and her halo bursts with a pulse of light. As it touches your weapons, they react in turn, glowing with a golden sheen.
All your weapons are now blessed.
>>104554
You run away from the mimic and stab the Beyonder in the leg, causing it to collapse on its back with a sharp scream.
As you grin victoriously, the Mimic bites off your tail and laughs.
>>104562
You take out the fleshcrafter and lie down on your back. Slowly and meticulously you slide the twisted blade under a scale. You wiggle the blade a little to get it firmly in, then twist and pull back, popping the scale clean off.
You then repeat this process with most of the other scales you can reach, and then focus on the small tentacles. Pressing the blade against them hurts as they are very sensitive, but you bite down and pop one like a bad pimple. It bleeds dark ichor on your coat but you slice it open all the way, panting as the pain starts to get to you.
After a few more excruciating cuts, your belly only has a few scales and two tentacles left. However, you are dizzy from the pain so you can't do more.

You stab and prod at the wooden chest that makes most of the Beyonder.
You scrape it a lot, but it does not seem particularly hurt.
>>104600
Being a chest with legs, it has no throat per se.
You stab it in the lock, breaking it.
The mimic is beginning to thaw.

The map seems legit, if a bit hard to read since the markings on it are written in some horrible demon language.
If you read it correctly, there is a room of some importance on this floor, most likely along the corridor that goes by this room.
The floor below you contains the dungeons.
The throne room seem to be two floors above you, on the same level as the castle battlements.

Well shit that was easy.
You go out the door, turn right and keep walking. There were five guards here but three were asleep, one was looking the wrong way and the last one was too busy tying a noose for itself.
You find a rather ornate door.
On it is a plaque with something written in demonic.
