Your adventure has taken you deep within a newly discovered Underground Tunnel network. In this pitch black expanse, your Lamp provides you with limited reprieve from the muggy, stale darkness engulfing your party. Let’s see where we last left our beloved Golem and her slightly wounded friends, shall we?

Huddling around their dancing Lamp flame, the CMC peer ahead into a dark hallway. A ghostly light seems to hover in from the right along with the muddled whispers of a couple of voices. Scared though determined, Raisin reassures her friends that this path will take them to the Boulder Snakes… somehow. The team swallows hard as they peak over a box, watching the dim glow in the distance grow brighter.

“What is that? More dogs? How many of those things are down here?” Scootaloo whispers, her head lowered next to yours.

INVENTORIES:
Raisin: Hayseed, Box of Quarter Sticks (x3) (Box has sustained mild water damage), Reinforced Boots (Equipped), Royal Medallion (Equipped), Twisted Iron Rod (Equipped)

Applebloom: CMC Cape (Equipped as Bandage to Right Forehoof), Hammer, Money Bag + 100 Bits, Stompstarter, Spool of Rope, Lamp (Equipped)

Scootaloo: CMC Cape (Equipped as Bandage to Left Forehoof), Stompstarter, Wake-Me-Up Dust (Ruined by Water)

Sweetie Belle: CMC Cape, Baby Blue Sapphires x10, Nails, Lamp Oil (1 refill remaining)

You'd estimate that it's probably around 9PM or so… though you can't be sure. It's been a few hours since you've seen the sun or the night sky.

No.229450

GAME INFO: From here, it sounds like it's just a pair of voices. The sound of the rushing water behind you is faint, but still presents enough of a roar to obfuscate the conversation.

>>229446
GAME INFO: Currently, you have a large supply box to your left side and a series of stone pillars to your front. From here, you should be relatively well hidden…

No.229451

Can we estimate how long our supply of oil is going to last us and how long it took us to get to this point.
Have any of us given any thought as to how we are getting out of these tunnels?

>>229443
We have a last life. We need to use this one to gather information and still have very little information about that thing that lives in the hills and loves Applejack.

Presumably the opposite direction from the schoolhouse leads to an opening.

No.229455

GAME INFO: At a glance, it looks like there's still quite a bit of oil left in your Lamp. You'd approximate there's at least 2 hours worth of oil left to burn.

No.229456

>>229451

True, but >>229438 may have a point. We burned the school, so the diamond dogs will have a hard time establishing a fortress.

Maybe if we can't find anything else down here soon, then yeah, we might want to go back and up the mountain.

GAME INFO: Absolutely. I came prepared with an area map tonight, so as you explore, it can be readily updated.

Behind you is the barricade and the water slide dropoff area. The Red circle is the sleeping Diamond Dog. The colored circles are you and your crew. Ahead, there is a light coming out of the right hand tunnel with some voices preceding it.

As the voices seem to draw nearer, you keep your eyes focused on the approaching light ahead. "I don't know, Scootaloo, but I don't plan on finding out anytime soon. Applebloom, pass the Lamp over here."

Applebloom walks over to you and sets the Lamp by your side. You try to cover the panes of glass up as best as you can, keeping your eyes centered on the distant glow. You're not completely able to cover the light, however, as some escapes around your hooves.

"Oh! We can't let them see us! Hold on…" Sweetie Belle squeaks. She pulls off her slightly damp cloak and pushes it over the Lamp between your hooves. The light is all but completely drowned out.

"Thanks, Sweetie Belle."

Suddenly, two lanky figures emerge from the right side of the distant tunnel. The CMC all instinctively duck down and stay low to the ground. You keep your head up, watching as the dogs turn your way. One holds up the his lamp and looks towards the entrance for a brief moment, then continues along.

"I hate guard duty! Nothing here! Barricades stop snakes, so what's the point?"

The other replies. "Its stupid! Pointless!"

"Rover is stupid! Nothing down here!" Their conversation fades as they round the other wall, heading down the left passageway.

"Raisin! Didja see 'em? Didja see where they went off to?" Applebloom looks around blindly in the dark.

"Now's our chance, girls. Follow me!"

As you start moving forward, you notice that Applebloom and Sweetie Belle aren't following. Their glowing eyes hover in the air, looking around.

"Where ya'll at? Ah can't see anything!" Applebloom whispers.

Sweetie Belle bumps heads with her. "Ooof!"

"C'mon, over here."

Applebloom stumbles closer to you as you wait for them to catch up. Sweetie Belle catches up in a few moments.

"Stay close and stay quiet."

You begin to lead the group deeper into the cavernous entrance. Staying on the tips of your hooves and near to the ground, you move as stealthily as you and your friends possibly can. Your Boots are helping out tremendously; with them on, your hooves sound like heavy shoes instead of thunderous crashes on the rocky cavern floor.

With the Lamp in your mouth, you approach the tunnel at the far end of the cavern. Looking left, you see the two Diamond Dogs heading towards a barricade. Through the barricade, you see a bright orange glow. To your right, you see some glimmering lights. You can clearly hear some clinking sounds and movement.

"Huh… Sweetie Belle, Applebloom… you guys here?"

The two fillies bump into each other as Applebloom bumps into your tail. "Owww… yeah, we're here…"

Scootaloo looks back and forth. "Uh… what do we do if neither direction looks good?"

Keeping your eyes on the Dogs to the left, you formulate a plan at the fork in the path.

"Hey, Sweetie Belle.."

"U-uhm… y-yeah?" Her voice cracks.

"Walk alongside me. Applebloom, you grab onto her tail. We're gonna ninja sneak into this mine."

"Raisin, you've gotta be completely nuts. C-can't you hear the dogs up ahead?" Scootaloo protests.

"What's the matter? You're not scared NOW, are you?"

Scootaloo takes immediate offense. "Me? Scared? You know you're talking to the one and only Scootaloo, right Raisin?" She points a hoof forward. "Full steam ahead!"

The dogs by the barricade turn their heads back your way and hold up their Lamp. Before they get a chance to make an approach, you begin moving into the right tunnel.

It's rather dark ahead, but a faint blue glow hangs in the darkness. You can see some orange flames flickering against the cave walls ahead. There are definitely some sort of tools at work down here…

"W-what is that?" Sweetie Belle whispers.

"I don't know…"

You reach another cavern. Roundabout you, there are Diamond Dogs chinking away at the walls, pulling gemstones out of them. Each one seems to have a lantern hung up next to their location, giving them just enough light to see where they're digging. Many stone pillars litter the area, making the cavern feel like a catacombs.

Directly ahead is a large supply box. You can faintly make it out against a strange blue glow that hangs around in the shadows.

You decide it best to get behind some cover. Carefully, you proceed along the back wall until you're next to the giant supply crate. Closeby, an exhausted Diamond Dog buries his Jagged Pickaxe into the wall, chipping out more dirt and rock.

The CMC stay as far away from him as they can. "R-raisin.. uh…" Applebloom points towards the Diamond Dog.

"Shhh… hold on a second…"

You take a moment to survey the room as best as you can. Looking straight out, you see a little puddle of water near a distant miner. He pulls something from the wall and holds it up to the torch. It's some sort of blue rock, but certainly not a gemstone of any sort. With a displeased grunt, he tosses it into the puddle. The stone appears to glow as it sinks deeper and deeper into the little collection of water you thought was a puddle until the light disappears completely.

To the right, you see what looks like a minecart on a set of rails. One Diamond Dog walks around to each of the miners, collecting small piles of gems from them and taking them over to the cart. You cannot quite see across the room, but it looks like there may be another passage ahead.

You watch as the collecting dog makes his way around one of the far pillars.

"Raisin? Raisin?!" Sweetie Belle taps you gently. "Uh… Raisin!?" She's staring back the way you came. You can see a distant glow begin to approach.

"Oh boy… alright Crusaders, we've gotta hustle through here…"

Scootaloo gulps. "I'm listening… what's the plan?"

"Well, you just hold on tight. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle…" The little white unicorn is still staring back toward the glowing light. "Sweetie Belle?"

"Y-y-yeah?" She shivers slightly.

"You and Applebloom just follow me close. We're going to stop behind this first pillar and get around the back of the next. We're gonna move kinda quick, so keep up."

"Okay.." Unsure of themselves, they give you a nod. As the dog passes his patrol spot again behind a few pillars, you signal the CMC to follow.

Keeping your eyes on the moving dog, you make your way to the first pillar. You stop for a moment, keeping an eye and an ear out for the dog. You're not quite sure why, but the entire room seems to very dimly glow with blue light… It's incredibly strange considering how dark the rooms previous were…

As the dog rounds the pillar, you can hear him speaking with the miner. "Rex, go to bunks! Tired dogs don't dig fast!"

Woozy, the dog replies. "Yes." He seems completely out of it. You have no idea how long he must have been working.

Quickly, you sprint to the next pillar with the CMC close behind. You can hear Applebloom and Sweetie breathing pretty nervously. Scootaloo has an extremely firm grip around your neck. You find yourself actually slightly thankful that you don't have to breathe.

You sit behind the pillar for just a moment as the CMC collects themselves. The tired dog, Rex, is approaching your position.

Noticing the approach of the impending dog, you tap Applebloom on the shoulder and shimmy around the pillar, making sure your entire group is out of his line of sight. His massive hands drag on the floor, scraping his Jagged Pickaxe along the way. It produces a fairly loud grating noise.

Breathing a little harder, the CMC wait as the dog goes ahead of you. Carrying a Torch, you see him disappear into the area you plan to go through. Along the way, you can see 3 distinct passages in the distance.

"Hmmm…"

You stay put as the patrolling dog comes around the pillar in front of you. Quickly, you shimmy back around the pillar to avoid being seen.

"Raisin, are you sure about this?" Applebloom shivers as the collecting dog goes to another one of the miners…

"Sweetie!" You whisper shout.

She immediately takes notice that she's the only one left behind her pillar and darts over to yours. When the group is gathered, the four of you lean against the stony column for a moment.

"Whew…" Applebloom sighs.

Looking ahead, you see three distinct passages with Rex down the center. It looks like he's turning off to the right as his light fades into the blue, dimly lit darkness.

"Where to, then?" Scootaloo asks. You can nearly hear her heart pounding.

Seeing as your friends are practically starving but remaining tight lipped, you figure it to be in their best interests to find them some food.

"Let's go straight. I bet we can find a ton of supplies down that way."

"But isn't that where the other D-diamond D-d-dog just went?" Sweetie Belle stutters.

"He's going back to the bunks or whatever. There's probably a ton of food and stuff that way."

"Food?" Scootaloo perks up. "I'm with Raisin… as long as we don't end up becoming food."

Walking through the eerie glow of the dim, blue light, you notice that the Lamp you're carrying is no longer producing light… from under the cape, you see that the flame has died. "Drats…" The CMC seem to have acclimated slightly to the darkness, but the weird blue glow seems to help guide them through.

The next room opens up into a slightly larger cavern. You see a set of messy tables with stone plates and bowls strewn about. A torch hangs from one of the columns in the distance, though the blue glow of this room is significantly brighter than in the room previous.

You hear a door shut on the right. Across the room, you can hear some speaking.

"Spears! I win!"

Looking about the room, you try to remain quiet and calm as the rambunctious group of Diamond Dogs on the other side play some sort of weird game with their hands.

"Hey, can you guys smell anything edible?"

Scootaloo shakes her head. "Be glad you can't smell at all, Raisin.. it's nasty in here."

Applebloom nods. "You remember how wet dog smells? It's like that and garbage." She whispers as the dogs erupt into laughter. You hear one get hit and whimper.

You hear the door on the right open again. A glow bursts into the cavern.

You keep still in the entrance, waiting for the new light source to die out. The loud dogs bark at him a few times as the door slams shut. With another burst of laughter, you hear one dog shout "Club beats shield! I win!" Another round of groans erupt before a temporary calm sets in.

"I'm really scared right now." Sweetie Belle barely speaks audibly.

As soon as the noise starts back up again, you move the group behind the nearby pillar. The odd blue glow in the room lets the four of you see one another clearly in the dark.

"Okay… you guys need to eat something."

"What's up with you an eatin' anyhow? Ya'll know we're hungry before even we do…" Applebloom shakes her head. "We don't need to eat all the time, ya know." Her stomach makes a slight gurgle as she covers it up.

"You see? That right there. You guys need to eat something so that doesn't happen. If it does while we're sneaking, the dogs will find us for sure."

The three hungry crusaders look to one another. "She's right, guys. There has to be something we can eat down here." Scootaloo cranes her head over to the table.

"Hold on; Scootaloo, Applebloom, you two wait here and watch that tunnel…" You point to the nearby tunnel opening. "We'll check to see if there's any food we can take."

"Wait, why you? You can't even smell. What if you grab something rotten?" Scootaloo's stomach grumbles quietly.

"Just stay here. We'll be back in just a minute here… Sweetie, follow me close."

The little filly tags along behind you, following your cold granite tail in the soft blue glow of the cavern. As you approach the lit table, the Diamond Dogs start shouting again. "Shield beats Spear! I win!"

Searching the table, you see that most of the plates have been licked clean. There's a basket of apple cores left on the table.

"Ehh…. maybe?"

Sweetie Belle's face scrunches up. "Eugh…"

Seeing the apple cores on the table, you figure it's the only food that's even potentially edible.

"It's gonna have to do. Hold your nose if you have to."

Sweetie Belle looks disgusted. She picks the little basket up off of the table and sets it on her back, knocking a plate off of the table. As it hits the floor, you freeze up.

The Diamond Dogs don't seem to have taken notice. One speaks up, though he's behind the column. "What was that?!"

"Miners, idiot! Don't try to cheat!" You hear a quick slap followed by a whimper.

Sweetie finally breathes again, steadily trotting the little basket back to her friends. You follow close behind as the two of you get back behind the column.

Applebloom and Scootaloo look equally disappointed. "Ughh… I think I lost my appetite…"

"C'mon, guys. It's all I could find on short notice. You have to eat something…"

Applebloom looks at Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, then picks up one of the apple cores. She chomps into it with a look of utter disgust. "Ugghh… ohhh… that was gross. No more, please…" She rubs her hoof against her tongue.

Sweetie Belle looks into the basket with perfect disgust. "Do I have to?"

"Just one. You need to eat something."

She picks up an apple core that looks relatively less brown than the others. She chomps into it, but immediately spits it back out. "Gross gross gross! Blech! There was a big wad of spit on it! Ewwwwewww!"

You cover her mouth quickly. Scootaloo and Applebloom follow suit, placing their hooves over her face. The game across the room has suddenly grown dead quiet.

You stay perfectly still, your hoof covering Sweetie's mouth still. Her hooves come up around Applebloom and you, pulling the group in tight. She whimpers nervously. You hear one of the dogs stand up.

Your group remains perfectly still behind the column in a tight group hug.

"If they catch us.. I just want you guys to know you're the best friends I've ever had…" Scootaloo whispers almost inaudibly. You can hear the distant plinks of the miners pickaxes hit the cavern walls.

After what seems an eternity, you see a dog pass by your column and continue into the mining area. He walks slowly, sniffing at the air. From the other side of the room, you hear the other dogs huff and growl. "Who cares! Nothing down here!"

The table slowly starts working its way back into its game. Your group only relaxes slightly.

"We've got to move… over there to the west tunnel. Now."

As you get up to move, you carefully peek over around the column. One set of green eyes flickers up, holding its gaze on the tunnel leading into the mining area.

You draw in a deep breath, then exhale slowly. The CMC copy you on your second breath; they know that you don't breathe if you don't have to. Taking another look up around the column, you see that the vigilant Diamond Dog is now intensely interested in the game again.

"Now's our chance. Quickly, run…"

You gulp and take off into the main room. While your friends have relatively quiet strides, your hooves still hit the rocky floor pretty hard. Your boots are clearly taking the strain from your sprint as they crack a little. They give off a thunderous report as they stress from your running.

The Diamond Dogs stop playing again as you hide inside the entrance of the west tunnel. "They're getting in! They're breaking in!" Suddenly, you hear all of the dogs at the table stand up in unison.

The CMC just clear the glowing entrance as the dogs fan out into the room. Two of them head down the tunnel that was off to the right of the column. You hear some shouts.

"Baby snake! Baby snake! Wake up! Baby snake in the fort!"

"Check the supply room! Get the Pickaxes! Get the Spears!"

"You two! Find Ralph! Protect the main gate! Seal the track tunnel!"

You slow to a trot as your friends speed off up ahead in the glowing orange tunnel. The walls don't glow, but instead a great orange glow pours in from the window of the barricade up ahead.

GAME INFO: We can stop soon. Let's go an action or two more and call it good for the night. You guys are making pretty good headway right now.

Oh yeah, it's one of the snakes.

Take a look back and see if the diamond dogs are coming this way.

Oh, I guess that's okay. You got one tomorrow? As much as I love Raisin, I can totally empathize.

You can post. It's fun! If you idea is dumb then people won't vote for it. Majority rules.

Let's try and head back if possible. At least see if it's clear enough to go back to the sign to see what's really in there.

the diamond dogs are definitely coming to secure the gate.

No.230156

If they are, then we might be able to buy some time by threatening to release whatever is in there. Our stony hoofs should be able to break a simple padlock.

Hearing the Diamond Dogs scrambling around and barking down the tunnel you came from, you decide that the only way out is forward.

"Stand back!"

The CMC take your word of warning and huddle up behind you. With a solid kick, you feel the entire barricade shutter in the walls. It slides forward a few inches.

"Whoa…" Scootaloo stares onwards in amazement.

"They're attacking! Brace the tunnel!" A dog shouts from behind your group.

"Hurry up, Raisin! They're coming!" Applebloom looks between you and the barricade several times.

You rear up again, kicking your front legs forward. With a mighty stomp, the barricade stutters a foot forward and hangs in empty space, standing up on it's own. It's no longer lodged in the tunnel.

"Wh-what the…? How did ponies get down here?!" To your rear, you see 3 Diamond Dogs armed with long, crystal tipped spears. They keep their distance when they see the barricade has bee stomped out of the way.

"C'mon… hurry!" Sweetie Belle huddles up right behind you.

With one last kick, the barricade grinds and groans, tumbling off of the cliff and into the lake of magma down below. The dogs behind you don't so much as move. With their spears raised, they simply fill the tunnel.

You and the CMC head out onto the stony platform, getting a view of the massive expanse of molten, fiery rock that floods the massive cavern below. It churns and bubbles. To the right of the platform, you see a walking path leading around the edge of the cavern.

The dogs remain silent, standing guard in the tunnel.

GAME INFO: This could be a great spot to stop, I think. Several questers sound like they've got real life stuff ahead of them, so I don't want to hold them up from a good night's sleep.

Things are definitely heating up for our little group of fillies, aren't they?

We're at an exciting point in our journey… I hope you guys enjoyed this session.

I will be here for a bit to answer questions, including any about the current room you're in. If you'd like to look around, I'll let you take in the room from your current standing.

No.230187

Is the path to the right the only path there is?

No.230188

>>230181

Are we fucked?

No.230190

>>230187

Yeah, or does the path lead back to the barricade we passed near the entrance? Your description makes it sound like it goes down further into the chamber.

No.230193

>>230188
Only if we fall on one of those crystals in a bad way.

No.230194

>>230188

Do you even need to ask at this point?

No.230195

>>230181
Is there maybe a lower platform/path that we can jump to?

No.230202

>>230187
GAME INFO: Upon the platform you are currently standing, there is another barricade, though it's covered in sharp, Blue Crystals. Ahead of you, the cliffside looks as though it's been partially eroded into a pipe shape. The path on the right leads further into the cavern, disappearing from sight around a large crop of stone columns.

>>230188
GAME INFO: Absolutely not. You've traversed a dangerous area and discovered a new one. It's going to be hella dangerous, but you're not fucked in any way, no.

>>230195
GAME INFO: Looking over the side of the cliff, there doesn't appear to be any other platforms to jump down to… not that you'd want to land on any stony platform suspended by a little bit of rock over a boiling cauldron of magma.

No.230207

>>230202

How hot it is in here? Will thirst and heat exhaustion be an issue for our comrades?

No.230209

>>230202

So there's a purpose down here? There's some knowledge or item to be gained?

That's comforting, at least. And here I thought we were just pussying around.

Now they will be, fucker.

If those blue crystals are harmful to the snakes…
Then maybe we should take one of the smaller ones, in the event that we need to use it as a weapon.

No.230215

>>230202

So if the snakes eat rocks, they'll probably crush the other fillies or push them into lava. If we get a game over, can we go first so we don't have to see ded filly?

No.230216

>>230213

Shiiiiiiiiit nigga yeah.

No.230218

>>230207
GAME INFO: It's still relatively cool up on the platform, though every step closer to the path increases the heat your team feels.

Unless you travel extremely close to the lava, setting fire/heat exhaustion won't be too great an issue.

>>230209
GAME INFO: To instill confidence in you, this was a planned direction for the story. There very well might be something direly important deep down inside of these caves…

>>230213
GAME INFO: From what you gathered in your last life, the Blue Crystals can slice through granite with relative ease. They're very thin and very lethal, apparently.

>>230215
GAME INFO: All depends on the situations you guys get in. Who knows if you'll even die down here?

If the fucking diamond dogs had a reason to keep things in, then something dangerous is lurking in here.

…we never did confirm there were no slaves, right?

A sad, dirty little filly could be locked in a cage still, missing her parents and dreaming about cupcakes

Oh well.

No.230233

>>230225

But if diamond dogs are considered Evil-aligned creatures, then wouldn't it be a moral imperative to not trust it no matter how nice it seems?

No.230243

>>230225
GAME INFO: The Diamond Dogs aren't necessarily evil. They're driven towards their own motivations, that being the attainment of massive quantities of gemstones for whatever reason. Unless they see some feasible benefit to enslaving a pony or gaining something somehow, they'll don't necessarily have to be mindless, bloodthirsty monsters.

>>230229
GAME INFO: Don't worry. If they were holding a small cupcake loving filly, she would have been clearly audible somewhere inside of the Diamond Dog fort. A hint would have been given so you'd at least know she was here.

That precious cupcake loving filly is back at home with her parents right now, in bed at a decent hour and hoping that the storm outside doesn't get too crazy tonight because she's kinda scared of thunder.

Yes

GAME INFO: Not going to get into any specifics on that one. You could even find an adult Diamond Dog that would probably be your friend in a totally 'adult-best friend that isn't creepy' kinda way, even though he might look kinda creepy
