Raisin Quest 4: Trial of by Fire FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 367104[Last 50 Posts]

This is it. After quite a few delays and many long nights, Raisin’s epic adventure is finally nearing its end. With just a few actions left to determine Raisin’s fate, I sincerely hope you guys can reason your way through this penultimate test to the best outcome possible. Let’s check the recap, then we’ll start questing:

FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 367105

>>367104
>Venture beyond the massive crystal doorway with a set of Boulder Snakes in hot pursuit
>**Use Applebloom’s Engineering instinct to get a readout on a big door operating mechanism**
>–Lasso the stopping pin on the door operating mechanism; the rope is too weak to take the strain, becoming frayed–
>Run up to and kick the stopping pin, sheering it off and destroying the mechanism. It takes a small chunk out of you, but nothing that impairs your movement
>Doors seal shut with the Boulder Snakes banging away on the other side
>Venture down the hallway toward a beautiful, bright light
>**Tell the Diamond Dogs to rig the ceiling with explosives, giving them enough equipment to light them all up simultaneously**
>– Call out to Queen Keszeem, immediately attracting her into the Grand Chambers –
>Converse with Keszeem in an attempt to buy the Diamond Dogs some time
>Try to convince her that you’re Adanemzurai’s descendant, sent here to retrieve her True Soul Amulet
>xXx Keszeem’s ancient history knowledge seems a little better than Raisin’s; she assesses that you are not a threat xXx
>– Use Malecite Crystal to cast ‘Light’ at Queen Keszeem, temporarily blinding her –
>Diamond Dogs bring the roof down

As the dust settles from the massive explosion overhead, Raisin is unpleasantly surprised to see that Queen Keszeem is not turned to stone under the early morning sunshine. Noticing the blue aura surrounding the ruby serpent, she realizes that the True Soul Amulet must be protecting her. With the Queen quickly recovering from her blindness and blasting magma all about the room, Raisin has to come up with a plan to stop the Boulder Snake matriarch… and fast.

Narrowly dodging another heated blast from the ferocious viper, Raisin carries her dazed unicorn friend upon her back to safety.

“Raisin? What’s goin’ on?” Applebloom calls back as she runs away from the lava spattering on the pathway. “Ah thought ya’ll said the sunlight would turn ‘er to stone!”

“A bad call?! Here?! Now?!” Scootaloo skids to a stop in front of the nearest doorway, watching as a fresh stream of magma begins pouring out. “Come on, Raisin! Think! You’ve never let us down before!” You swear you can hear something else further down the tunnel… it sounds like something is grinding up against the walls, heading your way.

Keszeem’s head frantically searches the far wall of the chamber. Wrapped in an ethereal shield, her blinking eyes seem to be regaining their focus. She arches up over the pulsating gem in the middle of the room, preparing to spit her molten venom at you once again. “This chamber shall be your graves!”

It apparently stops the stoning process in addition to reversing it.

Also, how big is it? If it's big enough for her to wear, I'd assume it's large than a normal necklace.

Might not be much choice if everyone needs to keep moving to avoid the lava spit. Maybe if the walkway around the room is wide enough.

>>367127

Since it's True Soul I'd imagine it just changes you to your natural state, whatever that is.

FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 367133

>>367116
GAME INFO: Though you no doubt have a lot more confidence in your golem strength now than you did when you first started this quest, you're not too confident that you'd be able to lift or move Keszeem. She not only appears massive, but her heavy ruby scale armor looks very dense. Judging by the one hardened scale of hers you picked up earlier in your quest, suplexing her seems to be out of the question.

>>367118
GAME INFO: The roof of the room is currently missing, allowing for a refreshing dose of early morning sunlight to pour in. The crystals lining the walls reflect it all about the chamber. It's incredibly uplifting to see the sky again, even through the small hole in the ceiling.

The sunlight doesn't seem to reflect off of Keszeem, but rather it seems to be captured and deflected by the blue aura surrounding her body right now.

>>367127
GAME INFO: The True Soul Amulet is ridiculously small in comparison to Keszeem. It looks as though it's a piece of pony jewelry, but it's been hung from a very large gold necklace around Keszeem's 'neck'.

I have a feeling we should have snuck in and done some kind of switcharoo with our medallion.

Anonymous 367144

>>367142

Or just used the magic crystal to yank it off her with telekinesis.

FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 367145

>>367134
GAME INFO: The Grand Chamber is quite possibly the biggest room you've encountered yet. a series of pathways extend at least 50 or so feet from the main path along the outskirts of the chamber, all leading to a giant pulsating gem where Keszeem is sniping from right now.

Along the walls are several doorways, each one seemingly timed to release magma at set intervals.

Keszeem herself is slightly larger than a Boulder Snake, but tiny relative to the rest of the chamber. Looking up gives you a nearly paralyzing sense of vertigo.

>>367138
GAME INFO: The chain is at least an adult pony hoof wide. You're not sure how thick it is, but it looks pretty sturdy. The True Soul Amulet hangs from the very front like an ornate gemstone set in silver.

Anonymous 367146

FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 367156

>>367149
GAME INFO: You could theoretically take any of the sturdy stone paths leading toward the gem in the center of the room where Keszeem is positioned, though the ends of the pathways don't appear to be sturdy enough to support your extreme weight.

>>367150
GAME INFO: When you first entered this room, you saw a massive, light extruding gem in the very center of the chamber. You're unsure of what it is, but she seems intent on keeping it safe. Currently, she's spitting magma at you from the center of the room.

Anonymous 367157

FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 367170

>>367160
GAME INFO: The amulet is attached to a small ring on the necklace. While the gold neckband itself looks incredibly thick, the amulet isn't necessarily welded to it.

>>367161
GAME INFO: Keszeem's long tail seems to be coiled around one of the ends of the pathways leading to the gem. Using this and another pathway for support, she's able to get the balance she needs to fling molten rock your way.

>>367165
GAME INFO: The pulsating gem is incredibly large. A brilliant, beautiful light pours from it's center, cascading along the red crystalline walls. It doesn't seem to be very well supported over the giant pool of magma beneath. It seems to be just resting on the pathway ends.

Keszeem launches another volley of deadly magma toward you and your friends. Though her sense of sight is slightly impaired, her hearing seems to help her keep track of you. Narrowly dodging the blast, you lead your friends away from the molten spatter.

"Hold on… I've got something."

"Quick! What do we do?!" Scootaloo runs alongside you, trying to keep up. Keszeem's head follows your movement, though she can't stop blinking her eyes.

"Scootaloo… take Sweetie Belle. Applebloom, you still got those bits I gave to you, correct?"

Another stream of magma drips from the walls by your side. The furious ruby viper hisses from her perch by the giant pulsating gem. She bears her fangs at you, though you're sure she still cannot see.

"Uhh… yeah! Ah got 'em!" She pats her saddlebags.

"Throw them at her while I go for the gem."

She swallows hard. "Roger…"

"Trust me on this. I think we can stop her if we break that thing."

As you gallop along the outside of the chamber, Applebloom runs partway up one of the pathways leading to the pulsating gem. Keszeem's eyes dart back from you to Applebloom as she tries to read the room blindly.

"Uhhh.. Take this!" Applebloom tosses a hoof full of Bits at the monstrous snake. From your current position, Applebloom looks like she's trying to assail the Queen with a bag of seeds. Keszeem immediately reacts as the bits start clinging against her scales.

With a vicious hiss, she coils up underneath the pathways, avoiding the incoming coinage. She moves very swiftly, wrapping around Applebloom's path in just a matter of moments, taking care not to strike the gem. She opens her maw, ready to eat your beloved friend.

"EeeeeEEAAHH!" Applebloom throws the heavy bag of Bits at Keszeem, causing the snake to immediately recoil. In a hurry, Applebloom dashes back to the safety of the path by the walls.

Your stony hooves fall hard on the path as you charge at the now unprotected gem. The brilliant light itself is almost mesmerizing. With just a few feet of distance left to cover, you jump to launch yourself at the gem.

Suddenly, a long tail shoots up and slaps you out of the air. It's followed by a pained hissing.

"Raisin!!!" Scootaloo shrieks.

You fly through the chamber, twisting and tumbling through the air. In an instant, you feel yourself slam into a wall, partially embedded.

"We're through with these puerile games!" Keszeem hisses and spins about, unable to regain her bearings.

Currently, you're stuck inside of a wall on the far end of the chamber. Your rearlegs seem to be embedded into the wall a little ways. To your left and right, you see two doorways, both of them draining magma into the center of the room. Ahead, you see another stone path leading back to the gem and Keszeem's side.

Without missing a moment, you punch the wall under your stomach, breaking the crystals apart and freeing your rear end. Taking a very quick inspection, it seems that even though you were hit with a tremendous amount of force, you haven't sustained any new injuries.

"You three will join your little friend soon… the eyes of my children shall find you." Keszeem hisses. Her head seems to keep snapping back and forth, searching the walls. Applebloom and Scootaloo are walking along the wall's edge on the tips of their hooves, trying to keep the noise down.

Suddenly, you hear a howl from one of the tunnels. With a horrible creaking noise, it ceases in just a few moments. Keszeem's head snaps over to the tunnel.

"No! Stay back! The sun's poison fills this Chamber!"

Reaching around your saddlebags for any items you have left, you withdraw your shiny gift from Princess Celestia. You look at the emblem for a moment, remembering when you were first rewarded with it after defeating King Tezel and Queen Adanemzurai. You can't think of much else to do at this point, though…

Reaching back, you wind up for the hardest pitch you can possibly throw.

"My Queen! This way! They're over here!" A voice calls out from one of the doorways. Applebloom and Scootaloo's hooves scramble in the air as they run away from the door.

You watch for a moment as your medallion goes flying through the air like a bullet. In an instant, it plinks the giant gemstone in the center of the room. You launched the medallion with enough force that it strikes the gem, reflects, and embeds itself into the upper walls of the chamber.

Keszeem immediately panics, coiling up around the fluctuating light of the pulsing gem. "You fool! You miserable fool! Have you no idea what this is?! Is the Heart not why you came to these Chambers?"

She looks about, remaining coiled around the gem. She cannot determine where the medallion came from. She's not blinking as much, but instead squinting across the room.

"…the Heart?" You whisper to yourself. Above, you can see the ribbon of your medallion hanging off the medal implanted into the upper walls. Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are just on the other side of a magma flow near you. Applebloom and Scootaloo both look terrified, trembling fearfully.

"Not really… to be honest I just saw you sneaking around Ponyville and wanted to know what was up."

Keszeem's head snaps up, though she's too tightly coiled up around the gem to face your direction. You can see her eyes narrowed down, squinting to the far right of your current position.

"This is the Heart of the Mountain. Once this chamber is complete, then we shall cease it's pulse…" She begins to reposition herself on the gem, then levels her head down closer to the pathway leading toward you. Her eyes glimmer. "…once the mountain dies, it will cause a chain of eruptions that will cover all of Equestria in pyroclastic ash!"

"But… why?"

"This blast will blot out the sun for seasons, if not years. My children will finally be safe to roam the surface and devour what remains of your world…" She very subtly moves to the platform. "…but you won't survive to see it!"

With lightning quick speed, she uncoils from the gem, slithering toward you with lightning quick speed. She charges you with her mouth open, a dim, orange light growing brighter as she approaches.

Noticing that her mouth is completely open, her fangs bare and ready to chomp you down, you also reason that her eyes are probably fully shut. With quick reflexes, you throw your body to the left, your hooves dragging along in the weakening magma flow.

With a violent crash, you see the Queen chomp at the wall a few times. She doesn't appear to be injured. You just narrowly missed her attack… a stroke of luck that probably won't happen again. With her vision returning, you have a sinking feeling in your gut as you watch her voraciously eat a part of the crystalline wall.

As the Boulder Snake Queen begins swallowing a portion of the wall, you notice that she's already starting to rear back up. You lock eyes onto her golden necklace. Though the links are wide, it appears to only be a few inches thick. Quickly, you spring out of the magma, diving for the chain. Your hooves pound into the scales about the chain, triggering her to quickly start coiling up.

"Nhm mm mm…" Keszeem cackles through a mouthful of crystals. You manage to crack the scale just a little, tucking your forehooves under the massive, golden chain, wrapping around her tight. She simply laughs.

"We're afraid it's too late for that. There's no way you can break this chain." Regardless of her taunt, she's frantically trying to throw you off of her body.

"You go Raisin! Bust her up!" Scootaloo cheers you from down below. Being thrashed about in the air, her voice is the only thing that gives you a semblance of direction.

Pulling with all of your might, you manage to crack a few of the scales you're digging your rearhooves into. Keszeem's jaws keep snapping at the back of your head. The chain doesn't seem to be giving at all, though now you're at least off of the ground.

Hanging from the Boulder Snake's body, Keszeem is currently trying to bite at you. She has, so far, been unsuccessful.

"Get the Amulet! Rip it off 'er!" Applebloom's voice calls from where you think the ground is. You hear a distinct thunk against the snake's scales as you're sure Applebloom has just thrown her hammer at her.

In the excitement of the tussle, you decide to try and break the chain from around Keszeem's neck with your teeth. Though the chains are a bit thick, you manage to gnash your teeth into it.

Your bite doesn't seem to be doing much to the chain, no more than pulling on it did.

Keszeem lets out a nasty hiss. She gives up on trying to bite your head. Directing her side toward the chamber walls, she slams into the crimson glass as hard as she can. You keep your forelegs tucked around the chain, letting her continuously slam you into the wall and pull you back out. As she continues for a bit, you see a few chips of your mane fly off.

The Queen coils up again, this time trying to bash you with her tail. "At least die with some dignity!"

As Keszeem desperately tries to throw you off of her body, you jump up and kick at her scales as hard as you can. The first kick cracks the scale nearer to the amulet. Immediately, Keszeem tries to swat you with her tail.

"You little cur!" The first strike sends you slamming against the other scales.

"Oof!"

You get back up and slam the scale again, shattering it this time. You get struck once more, sending you and the slightly looser chain a little to the left. Another chunk of stone pulls off your body, though you're not sure where from. You take your chance to shimmy closer to the amulet.

The Queen knows what you're trying to do. She cocks her head back a little, looking straight up. You can see some magma beginning to pour down the sides of her mouth.

Magma is the molten material beneath Earth's crust. This material consists of rock, gases, and mineral crystals. The temperature of the magma can be as high as 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure is also very high since the magma supports the weight of Earth's crust.

Lava is the molten rock that comes out of a volcano or from a fissure in Earth's surface. A fissure is a crack. The molten rock comes from the underground magma. Lava is thus magma that has broken through Earth's surface

Watching the magma pour from the sides of Keszeem's mouth, you know it's only a matter of time until it reaches you. She slaps with her tail again, taking off another few chips of granite.

"It's now or never, Raisin…"

As Keszeem's tail pulls back, you immediately give yourself a little slack. Holding on as best as you can with the ends of your forehooves, you swing forward and slam a hoof into the top of the amulet.

Almost immediately, you see Keszeem contort her body out of reflex. The lava from her mouth spatters about as she begins coiling again. It sounds as though she's trying to say something, but the lava seems to be muffling her words.

"Raisin! Raisin, drop down! Now!!" Applebloom calls up.

You try to throw yourself off of the cobra as far as you can, though just barely manage to catch the edge of the walkway. Suddenly, you hear Keszeem hissing wildly. A smoke begins to rise off of her scales as the blue aura seems to evaporate.

You're barely holding onto the walkway, but with Keszeem flailing above, she'd almost certainly knock you into the magma below.

Quickly recovering your will, you take a chance and attempt to climb back up onto the walkway. With Keszeem flailing right before you, you keep low and try to crawl away. As you continue crawling, her smoldering tail clips your flank. It sends you flying a little distance into the Chamber wall. Looking down to your tail, you notice that half of it has been knocked clean off.

"Well.. at least that grows back…"

The furious snake burns in the sunlight filled chamber. She thrashes against the trail, then coils up and turns around, facing you.

"We shall not let our legacy die here!" She yells into the room. You can see her scales already beginning to turn into lifeless stone. While she's still able to move, you see her turn toward the Heart of the Mountain, then start moving towards it. She's not as fast now as she was with the protection of the amulet, but she's on a crash course with the heart.

Gathering the last bit of courage you can muster, you set a course to intercept that gargantuan Boulder Snake before she destroys the Heart.

"Legacy? You haven't even got any legs!"

Your forehoof slams down onto the end of her tail with a tremendous amount of force. With a terrible hiss, the Queen bunches up into a coil under the direct light of the sun above. Smoldering and steaming, you watch the stone begin to fully overtake her body.

"H–-o––––w?" As the stone wrinkles up and cracks around her monstrous fangs, Queen Keszeem's crunched up body petrifies along the path. The last of her words fade into the ambient sound of lava gurgling in the cauldron below.

An eerie silence fills the chamber.

"W… we did it. You did it… Raisin… you actually did it…" Scootaloo softly speaks from the other end of the room. "We're gonna be okay!" She pops up, fluttering her wings around Sweetie Belle as she manages to sleep through the victory.

You stand by the coiled up mass of stone, watching as the last bit of smoke escapes from the statue's mouth. You can see Boulder Snakes far down the tunnels surrounding the room.

"…until night falls."

In fact, it sounds like a brilliant idea. Changes our 80% chance of success to a 100% (Or 96% if Jr insists on rerolling the item's position), stops us from having to reset. Only thing left to do is avoid/recover from DD imprisonment.

Finally! I was wondering when you guys would start to abuse the save/load system during these adventures
Taking another look up, with the prospect of becoming a normal filly again just moments away, you reach into your saddlebags. Gently, you retrieve Hayseed from your pocket. She looks a bit flattened from the constant slamming she endured with you during your fight with Keszeem, but she fluffs up nicely.

You take a look at Keszeem, the Diamond Dogs climbing down, and then at the smiling faces of your friends. Now seems like a great moment to reflect on your memories…

Though you can't feel Hayseed's mane against your cheek, you can remember how soft the yarn felt against your coat. Of all things, it reminds you of a Winter day just a few months back. You remember letting your friends pack a bunch of snow around your stony body while you chased them around as the 'abominable snow pony'. The silly excursion brings a smile to your face…

Did you see the way the dogs looked at the heart? By my estimation there's at least another six hours before the snakes can get in, plenty of time for the dogs to set up base in here to keep the snakes from taking their new treasure.
We've saved Equestria, all that's left to do is to save ourself.

Anonymous 367935

I vote that once we've found the amulet, we give it to AB or Scoots (and get them to hide it in their bags as best as possible - in Scoot's empty satchel?) and get the dogs to take the rest of the CMC out, and submit to being captured. The CMC'll tell our story, someone'll come to trade for us, we'll get time to reform our injuries as a golem, and can return to normal once we're better, rather than missing chunks out of our legs and butt.

>Skip spot 5

"Scootaloo, you and Sweetie Belle search over there. Me and Applebloom will cover these two spots along the walkway. It's gotta be around here somewhere…"

"You sure you don't need another moment or two with your doll?" Scootaloo arches a brow.

"I just turned a giant snake queen to stone. I think I earned a moment with Hayseed."

"Chill, girl! I was just teasin…" Scootaloo rolls her eyes. "Well, we can take our time looking around. I mean, it's not as if those snakes are going to… what's with that look, Raisin? I said I was just joking…" Scootaloo's face twists up.

"No, it's not that… just jump over there quick and see if you can find it. I really want to find it. Fast."

Searching for just a few moments in spots 1, 2, 3, and 4, you suddenly hear Applebloom shout out. "Hey! Ah think Ah found it!"

She holds the True Soul Amulet above her head. Amazingly, the jewelry seems to have withstood all of the beatings you and Keszeem put it through. Not even it's form can be altered, it seems…

Suddenly, the dogs drop down from the ceiling onto the walkways leading to the Heart of the Mountain. Rover and his burly lackey plop down nearest to you.

"Raisin! I thought for sure that snake was going to grind you to dust!" Rover smiles. "What a fight!"

"…you mean you just stood up there watching?"

Rover shrugs. "We only caught the tail end of it. Dig Dogs were too slow."

The burly dog stares into the air for a few moments, then shakes his head. "We watched everything."

Rover glowers, but continues. He looks to the Heart of the Mountain and giggles greedily to himself. "It looks like you've almost held up all of your end of the bargain…"

"Hey! Let us go!" Scootaloo kicks hopelessly in the paws of one of the Diamond Dogs. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle seem to be in a similar situation. One of the dogs takes the True Soul Amulet from Applebloom, holding it up to the light.

"You might be a little cut up, but you're Diamond Dog property now!" He smiles. "I couldn't be happier!"

"And you hold yours. One magic rock filly and a trinket in exchange for lifting my comrades out of here."

Rover rolls his eyes. "Ugh, yes. Did you find nothing on your way in here?"

"Oh no, I found what I was looking for. Your dog over there is holding it." You tilt your head over to the dog holding the True Soul Amulet.

Rover looks torn. "That is a nice treasure… too nice." He grumbles. "Would you exchange it for some precious gems? Maybe something else at the fort?"

You stare him down. "No. I want that amulet."

"That treasure is too nice!" He crosses his arms. "Since you're my property, I say you can't have it! Pick something else!"

"Hey! We had a deal!"

"Man… I knew we shouldn't have trusted these mutts…" Scootaloo scowls from the paws of one of the dogs.

"Who are you calling mutts?!" Rover stomps. "Come to think of it, your friends owe us for the supplies they stole!"

"Oh come on… really? I net you the Boulder Snake's biggest gemstone and you're going to botch on our deal like this?"

"I never shook on anything." Rover grins. "…and for the record, I think you're a very ugly pony."

You sneer at him. Some more dogs begin climbing down into the room carrying lumber and crates.

"Let's get them to the mines!" Rover bumps the bigger dog. "Grab our new prize pony. Make sure she gets put into a nice cage…"

Considering a stone trachea isn't really flexible, probably yes but she's had a hard time getting it up in one piece unless it's tiny.

FaceIessJr!derpv/fTOE 368007

>>367999
GAME INFO: As a golem, Raisin doesn't have the ability to eat at all. She cannot swallow or consume anything in her current form. While this means that she'll never suffer from hunger, thirst, or a lack of air, she'll also never experience the more pleasant sensations of living while she's made of stone.

>>367998
GAME INFO: Since you had the quarter sticks and they hadn't been damaged by the water, there was still a possibility you could have found a way to use them to bring down the roof. The Diamond Dogs made it easier, sure, but Raisin can throw shit pretty far, so tying a stick to a large rock and tossing it up at the ceiling could've been enough to bring it down.

You'd have to use up all three, but it was an option for bringing in some sunshine, given your current inventories.

Creativity is always a major factor in the quest. I knew you guys were heading into the Malecite Cavern, so you were probably going to stop and get a hoof full of McGuffins that gave you the ability to use precisely one common spell. There were a few ways to get around some obstacles, but the Diamond Dogs gave you a more 'guaranteed' direct way to open up the roof.

When we're 100% finished, I'll reveal a little bit more about the way I planned to do things. It may or may not involve LS.
