The party awakens in the morning, some more fresh than the others. You can hear the sound of hooves walking around outside the room.
Brawny and Tasia are nowhere to be seen as they spent the night in the tavern.
>>94219
You wake up feeling absolute shit. Even your ass hurts right now for some reason.
The tavern is empty and a pretty big mess, the bartender is snoozing off with his head on the bar

>>94225
You're a mess, you really let yourself go through the night
Brawny is waking up as well
>>94226
You get up and walk out of the room. Krypta is walking around cleaning up the house.
"Good morning… Dusk, was it?"
>>94229
You fall out of bed face first and then start singing awfully out of tune
Jesus fuck just shut up please
Crescent groans and buries her head deep into her pillow
>>94232
Terrible singing so far

He grunts and points at a box full of it on the table. There are some bowls as well you can use.
>>94242
You make yourself a lovely cup of coffee, the best way to start a day!
>>94244
"O-oh… Well in any case, thank you all so much again for keeping Catchcard and I safe."
>>94247
You have some dry cookies with you, not much of a breakfast

"Thanks."
I make myself a bowlful of oatmeal and a cup of coffee. Once that's done I sit at the table and chow down.
>>94250
"I spent yesterday trying to cheer him up and nothing worked. Something inside him got broken and I'm afraid I'm not the one to fix it. You, on the other hoof, might have a shot."

>>94289
"Thanks y-you, thanks…"
I take the bowl, and talk bitterly.
"And n-no, I'm a-actually v-very happy that I l-lost my manticore and a-archer and th-that I couldn't replace th-them with dr-dragons because of an in-inquisitor that he-held a gun at m-my head on e-every occasion she h-had. It w-was one of the best d-days in my l-life!"
After finishing the sentence, I start to eat some.

>>94293
"Thanks to you guys! I thought I was dead meat!"
He takes a seat at the table
"Even went ahead and fetched Catchcard for me, I can't thank you enough! I've already sent a letter to the empress to praise your great performance!"
He ruffles his mane for a moment, mulling over something.
"With the professor safely here back in Draken and the cargo stored in a safe location, that pretty much ties up your entire mission here."
>>94294
She mutters some incomprehensible words and pulls the pillow over her head

She pushes the cup away
"Nooooo…"
Silver continues
"Well I still have stuff to do myself here for the merchant's guild. But you can return to the capital if you so please. Of course, there is one thing you could do…"
>>94308
"It's stored in a safehouse in town for now."
>>94309
He looks up from his book
"Krypta and I spend a lot of time in the field. Dragons and ponies stay out of each others way so we usually have to walk quite a bit until we can encounter some in their natural habitat. Unfortunately that left us open to those necromancers to capture us."

I let out an even heavier sigh,
"…I'll g- get y- y- you to stop feeling sorry for y- yourself o- one of these days!"
…I still push my so far untouched oatmeal away from me though.
"M- Maybe we should g- get back to the others s- so we can get out of here. A- And then g- get on the r- road to… Pegopolis? Pegice? W- What was that c- city again?"
I bend over to grab the bowls and place them on my back, then trot over to the door and motion for Zivur to follow.

"Oddomane territory, they own those mountains! They were creating an undead dragon army to fight alongside their armies, so no doubt they were funded by the Caliphate itself."
>>94333
If you want to know whether you are covered in horsejizz then no, you are not. You just look and feel really shitty and uncouth.
>>94341
"Well… The bandits attacking caravans thing is pretty common up here. It has been since a few months ago. To the west of here lies Drakensburg Hold, they are supposed to be keeping the road and area safe. Perhaps you could be so kind as to visit there and see what's what? I mean as knights you should be able to do something right?"

Brawny grumbles a little as he gets up
"Too much mead… Even for me."
The two of you leave the tavern. It's morning out and many ponies are wlaking around in their mining outfits, some of them about to start their workdays while others just finished their nightshifts.
You can hear some yelling down the street and see a small newspaper stand with ponies crowded all around it.
>>94359
Silver shrugs lazily
"I don't know, maybe. All I know is the town and caravans are suffering badly under the constant raids on the supply lines. All help is appreciated."

He sighs with a slight smile
"VERY appreciated. Not just by the merchants but probably your empress too."
>>94374
"We aren't at war right now, so that would be… surprising."
>>94379
Ponies all around the stand are busy reading the newspaper
The pony behind the stand is busy yelling out the headlines
"DIPLOMATIC DISASTER BETWEEN EMPRESS LAVINIA AND ODDOMANE DIPLOMATS! BORDER TENSIONS CONTINUE TO RISE! EXPERTS SAY ANOTHER WAR IS MORE LIKELY NOW THAN EVER!"

That was the current empresses ancestor who did that
>>94428
"S-sure!"
Krypta shows you the way to the bathroom
>>94433
There are several articles on the front page. Apparently things got a bit heated during diplomatic talks between the empress and some oddomane diplomats. The article speaks of the Oddomanes pressing claims on the Whoves archipelago, and proposing - more like demanding - that the Trotantines give it up. The empresses response was less than subtle: 'I have already prepared my counter-proposal. It reads thusly: You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!'
This combined with arising questions concerning the Riverwatch incident as well as some other happenings is only fueling the hatred and distrust between the two empires further. An article also talks about how both nations are no doubt secretly stockpiling resources and increasing their defense budgets.

The party sets off once more towards ADVENTURE, the last one still freshly imprinted into their minds. They head west, traveling on the same road they used to get to Draken. They spend the night on the road and by morning, they finally arrive at the gates of Drakenberg hold. A mare clad in heavy steel armor accompanied by some more guards stops you before you can walk in.
"State your business strangers."

The stronghold is perched on the side of a mountain. The wall itself is quite thick, though not even close to rivaling the one you saw in the capital city. You follow the mare over the drawbridge and through the gate and hit on the large open yard inside. To the left of you you see a series of small buildings, which you presume to be the barracks. In the front there is a tall building with multiple banners on top of it, which looks to be the main hall. To the right you see a small temple with sun and moon statues and various other decorations on adorning it.
The mare heads towards the large building in front of you without saying a word. You notice there aren't very much ponies walking around aside from the soldiers standing guard on the wall and towers.

The mare spits on the ground nonchalantly
"Yeah, we're a little undermanned these days. Lot's of troops got transferred down south, the empress doesn't deem these parts important."
>>96793
"All the trading happens in Draken, we're here to keep an eye on the area and keep the road safe."
>>96900
"You hotheaded zebras just can't stand the cold, that's all."

"You don't know the half of it buddy."
>>96918
"Yeah yeah, I ain't the one in charge here bud…"
>>96907
Crescent is eyeing the temple curiously
>>96923
"Again? Commander ain't gonna like that…"
The party enters the main building, turning left when they arrive at a long hallway. It's rather cold in here and barely decorated… almost depressing really.

"They don't like being in the mountains, freezes the stripes right off their asses. So no, no trouble coming from them… not directly anyway."
The party stops at a large wooden door, the mare knocking firmly before entering. Inside is a very simple looking chart-room. There is a small fireplace providing some warmth as well as a large woolen carpet on the floor. Aside from that however, the room is bare of any further decorations. In the middle of the room stands a heavy wooden table with a model map of the entire area.
A gruff looking old earth pony stands at one of the stained windows smoking a cigar. A unicorn is warming his hooves at the fireplace. They both look at the party as they enter.
"Commander Aquillus, Sir Divus. You have visitors from the capital."
The commander grunts and approaches the party while the unicorn keeps warming his hooves.
"And who may you lot be?"

He gives you a toothy grin and chuckles for a moment
>>96971
>>96972
"I'd hope so. You don't look like you got your title by asslicking at least."
>>96979
"Again huh?"
He turns to the unicorn
"Well Divus? Are we going to keep sitting on our asses like a bunch of GODDAMN COWARDS?"
The unicorn rolls his eyes and speaks up quietly
"You know very well why we cannot do anything about this, Aquillus. It's out of our hooves, this matter."

"You know very well why we cannot do anything about this, Aquillus. It's out of our hooves, this matter."
He motions you to come over to the map model and points his hoof at a small castle shaped figurine on the side of a mountain.
"See this right here? That's us. Drakenberg Hold. Built only 46 years ago to keep an eye on the area."
He moves his hoof northwards pointing at another castle figurine, this one also built on the side of a mountain.
"This… this is Ravelsburg hold. A castle built over almost 300 years ago. It had the exact same job as this castle. That is until it was besieged 50 years ago by the Oddomanes during a war. The castle fell and was abandoned. The entire area became Oddomane territory after we lost the war and the Oddomanes never bothered to repair and use it for themselves."
He walks away from the table towards the window again
"Instead, a band of bandits took the hold for themselves… using it as a base of operations. Those are likely the very same bandits that attacked your caravan…"

>>97018
The unicorn continues in his whiny voice
"We don't have the troops to spare to keep a constant guard on the entire Drachten Pass! That will leave Drakenberg open for assault!"
Aquillus fills in on this
"The Oddomanes are probably bribing the bastards to only attack our caravans. In return the bandits are left alone and don't raid the Oddomanes. It's all a bunch of horseshit in my eyes."
He slams his hoof on the heavy table
"We need to send in a force anyway, consequences be damned! Just a undesignated group of warriors. No insignias and no banners."
>>97031
"Damn right! Kick them in the ass before they can strike!"
The unicorn shakes his head wildly
"No, no, no, no! What if we fail and they strike back? Or what if the Oddomanes find out? It's too risky! We canno-"
Aquillus interrupts him loudly
"WE DAMN WELL CAN! LIEUTENANT THIVA! ENOUGH OF THIS GODDAMNED ARSESITTING! PREPARE THE GARRISON FOR A SIEGE!"

"Preparation should take a little while, so feel free to do whatever in the mean time. Inspect the troops or pray or whatever it is you knights do."
>>97055
>>97057
>>97065
You put away all faction related items into the large chest
>>97072
You don't, no

She nods silently
"I guess ponies will get hurt, wont they? You probably WILL need a medic."
She perks up
"I just gotta be strong! I have bad things to make up for!"
The two of you enter the small temple. It's pretty simple on the inside, but still all in good condition. A mare in dark robes approaches you as she sees you enter.
"What's this? Travelers visiting our humble little church?"
>>97086
"Heh, we only got a couple of those. They're down the hallway in the library right now most likely."
She nods silently

The four of you go down the hallway and find the door marked as library after searching for a little while. It's pretty small but still filled with as many books as possible. Two unicorns are lying on top of the table, kissing each other passionately.
Wait what? You aren't sure whether that is even allowed in libraries!
>>97101
She gives you a sincere smile
"A warrior of the moon, how wonderful."
She motions to a marble altar with a large crescent shaped statue on top of it at theleft side of the room.
"If you wish to bless your weapons I can do so, noble paladin. Otherwise, I'll leave you two to your prayers."

The mare lets out a loud yelp and throws the stallion off of her, after which she rolls off of the table and lands on the floor with a loud smack. They both recover pretty quickly and get to their hooves blushing and stammering madly
"W-we were j-just sharing spells!"
"There w-w-was something s-stuck between m-my teeth!"
>>97134
It's just a bit of kissing, it doesn't affect you whatsoever
>>97141
The mare blesses your sword using some holy water
Crescent kneels down near the altar of the sun and silently prays to herself for who knows what
You pray to the moon, but you don't really feel connected. It's been a while…

It has been a while since I last heard your prayers, Falkmar…
>>97151
They both nod abashedly
"Our fellow peers were transferred south again a while back…"
>>97156
The mare covers her face with her hooves in sheer embarrassment.
The stallions gaze shifts left to right uncomfortably.
"P-please don't tell the c-commander about this…"

"She's good at frost spells, I'm a fire mage."
A small cocky grin appears
"It's a steamy combination, really."
The mare shushes him and jabs him in the side
>>97166
Ah yes… the empress. A fiery and determined mare indeed, I imagine she takes full advantage from your skills.
>>97167
>>97161
"R-right!"
The mare quickly scurries to one of the shelves and takes out a large history book, hoofing it over to you.
>>97169
"He'll be furious again! And… and probably separate us from each other too."
The stallion looks down sadly at hearing this
>>97170
You find a book on zebra anatomy
It's not very romantic

>>97187
The mare nods timidly and breathes out a large freezing cloud of Shivermist
"I-I'm not that useful really, it's already freezing up here…"
>>97189
Nothing you don't know already or that you can take advantage of…
>>97188
Mmmm, indeed. She's quite keen on trying to keep her empire together. Whether or not she will be successful in the end… that's not mine to tell. Is there something on your mind, Falkmar?

Mmmm, indeed. She's quite keen on trying to keep her empire together. Whether or not she will be successful in the end… that's not mine to tell. Is there something on your mind, Falkmar?
>>97193
Yes

You manage to find a tragic love story involving a mare and a lich

Her eyes widen for a moment
"T-the front of the assault? But I'll just get killed!"

"Pegasa? That's a small town near the capital right?"
The stallion searches through some of the shelves
"Uhhh… Nope, this isn't a really extensive library…"
>>97208
You find a copy of Lying, Monarchical Style

You start reading the book, learning more about the art of bluffing, persuasion and lying.
This will work just like Dusks book did, rolling once per session to see how much you learn. You'll have to gather more points than him because he has the scholar skill and you don't.
>>97216
"B-b-but that's not our fault! Please!"
>>97215
You climb up a small ladder to reach the higher up shelves and find a book on combat… in bed… sexually… You didn't even know such things existed!
It startles you so much that you fall down with the ladder onto the ground in the middle of the group, the book still clutched in your hooves and clear for everyone to see

I jump a bit, and at first glance around frantically, then glare at her angrily.
"D-don't mention th-that! A-and at l-least we w-weren't in a p-public place where an-anyone could ju-just walk in, e-especially a place where people g-go to read, and n-not to watch t-two ponies l-lust for each other!"

Last time on Trotantium the decline
The party traveled to Drakenberg, set on finding out why the garrison was unable to keep the trade caravans from being raided. When they arrived they found out the castle was undermanned and unable to spare the troops to secure the entire trade route. Instead, it was decided to assault Ravelsburg, the bandits' base of operations in Oddomane territory. The party is waiting for the garrison to finish its preparations for the upcoming siege.

The voice stays quiet for a moment, before sounding again
All you have to do is drop a prayer when you really need me, perhaps I can be of help.
Crescent is done praying herself and chatting quietly with the priestess.
>>98053
"My name is Edelweiss, s-sir."
>>98057
Sure there is!
There's guard ponies and stuff! Ponies all around the courtyard preparing for the upcoming siege. There are two large carts near the gate with the necessary parts to quickly build battering rams. You also see a couple of guard ponies still standing on lookout on the walls, warming themselves to some firebaskets.

"I trust your prayers were gratifying, noble paladin?"

No.
Every single firebasket in the entire Shudderpeaks is too crowded to join in on.
Your butt is frozen now.

The mare nods timidly while the stallion seems relieved and smiles at you in gratitude.

You walk through the gates outside again and wander around aimlessly for a while outside of the castle. The area and view are quite spectacular really, if you ignore the cold.
>>98087
"Yup! I'm ready for adventure again!"
The two of you leave the temple and rejoin the party in the library.
Not before long, Commander Aquillus walks in on the group wearing bland heavy steel armor
"You lot ready to leave yet? The warband is ready to kick their asses to Tartarus and back so we'll be leaving soon."

"We'll be splitting up in two groups once we get near the castle. I will be leading the assault on the East gate, while Lieutenant Thiva will be leading on the other gate. I want all of you on her group. Any questions?"

You find some pretty flowers after all! Edelweisses it seems.

The party leaves the main building and enters the courtyard again. It seems like it's a lot more crowded and busier than before. None of them are wearing the usual guard type of armor, instead opting for normal undesignated neutral armor. Several of the ponies are pulling carts with supplies and parts used for the battering ram. The commander shouts some orders, moving to the front of the warband as it sets off in motion.
TIME FOR TIMESKIPPING
The convoy sets off, heading northwards at a slow pace on a rocky and precarious path. The journey takes long, almost two days, as the carts do not allow for swift movement through these mountains. Eventually, the convoy stops and a pegasus scout is sent ahead. The ponies pulling the carts unhook themselves and start to unload and assemble the parts together. The commander takes out a spyglass and starts peering the area.
Thiva approaches the party.
"Ravelsburg is just ahead. I trust you are all ready? We should be ready to start the siege in 10 minutes."

"We'll be attacking the west gate. The battering ram will go in alone and knock the gate down. Once its down we charge in and kill everypony who stands in our way. The path to the gate does not allow for a lot of cover so they'll see us coming from far away. The castle may not be in prime condition but it's still very defendable. For the empire!"
The mare turns around, moving over to the commander to go over the plans some more.

She hugs you tightly for a while
"No, you stay safe please! All of you stay safe!"

Push her away and step back.

You spot a glint of sadness in Crescent's eyes after which she turns away and walks back over to Falkmar again.
>>98290
They both nod firmly
"Right!"
>>98293
You seem as perfectly protected as ever.
Commander Aquillus rounds up his group of ponies as one of the battering rams is finished and sets off eastward.

Commander Aquillus rounds up his group of ponies as one of the battering rams is finished and sets off eastward.
As Aquillus and his group disappear from sight the other battering rams finish as well. Thiva approaches the group carrying her sword and points at Falkmar, Sol, Zivur and Erumal.
"You four are going to help manning the battering ram, as will I. So stay close to me."
She the points at Dusk, Crescent, Allegro and the two mages
"You stay in the back and wait for the gate to be knocked down before moving in."
The mare then walks off as the ram is pulled forward, giving directions to the group.

The mare then walks off as the ram is pulled forward, giving directions to the group.
The group sets off westwards, treading on the mountainous path for a while until a castle appears in the distance. You can see two roads leading up to it, one coming from the west while the other comes from the east. The group heads towards the western road and approaches the castle until they are just out of shooting range, where they stop.
"Alright, ramming crew take your positions on the battering ram!"
The mare and three other troops take cover under the roof and start pushing the siege engine forward.
The rest of the group stays back. They can see there is a lot of activity on the walls of the battered castle already, no doubt Aquillus must be approach from the other side as well.

The battering ram is pushed fowards, advancing towards the castle as more and more arrows are starting to hit the roof of it the closer it gets. The gate itself is made from wood and reinforced with steel, though it seems like it's in pretty bad state after so many years. Eventually the ram reaches the door and the ramming can commence. The ponies on the walls are desperately trying to hit you all using rocks, but failing badly for now.
Roll to see how effective it is.
Allegro can inspire to increase the rolls
Dusk and his mages can try to cover them from a distance, at risk of being shot themselves. If you decide to do so, you have to roll a 3d, dawn.

In a fit of rage, you swing your longsword with all the power you can muster and take the stallions head clean off of his body.

The dagger sinks itself into your cheek, penetrating all the way through and staying stuck there. You are losing serious amounts of blood now but keep standing through sheer willpower to protect your companions.

You manage to stay conscious despite the heavy bleeding.
Crescent rushes up to you and says something, but you can't hear it anymore.
She quickly drags you away from the battle and gets to healing you
You should roll again yourself to see if you stay awake.
>>98749
You bury your dagger into one of the bandits' eyes, piercing all the way through the brain and killing him instantly.
>>98750
You kill one of the ponies wielding a crossbow who was lining up a shot

He was already ded
Instead you kill the last remaining bandit at the gate

You somehow slice the minion in half using your little knife

The mare can't seem to find any targets as they are all dead. The ponies protecting the western gate and walls have been slain.
The lieutenant is busy talking to a heavily wounded soldier. It seems they took some losses in the fight. You don't see any other enemies nearby. The lieutenant gets up from her position and drops down from the wall onto the ground as a medic tends to the wounded pone instead.
"We gave the door a firm knock so far, that was a damn hairy fight."

You raise a stallion carrying a heavy mace from the dead. Without error this time.
Thiva inspects the area, then turns to the party pointing at a large cylinder shaped building across the courtyard you are on.
"YOU LOT CHECK UP ON THERE, THE REST OF US WILL GO AID AQUILLUS ONCE WE ARE DONE TENDING TO THE WOUNDED."
The two mages decide to stick with Thiva and her troops to help healing the wounded

"Now I'll try and be m-more useful t-than I was so f-far, my m-minions killing each other… so I'll g-go check that building. Y-you be ca-careful now!"
I order Mace to go in front of me, Shooty behind me, and go towards that building.

Mace batters the door a few times using his heavy mace. It budges a bit, but doesn't give in.

You unleash a giant fireball at the door, burning a large hole in it. A pony should be able to fit through it.

"Don't you think it would be better to stick together after we got hurt so badly earlier?"

You make your way to the right, following the curved hallway until you spot an open archway at the end of it. You can hear the sound of talking coming from up ahead.

The stallion who got shot in the leg retaliates by taking out his pistol and firing at Tasia, who came in after the minions.

Actually, fuck it. Let's fucking go!
The party is participating in a castle siege in foreign territory and were tasked to sweep a building by Lieutenant Thiva. After finding a underground prison you now find yourself locked in a battle with several guards. The prisoners appear to be dead frightened and in mostly in poor condition, especially after dusk hit several of them with his Chain Lightening.
>>103233
You angrily charge in, ignoring your wounds, and decapitate the wounded mare with a impressive and powerful swing of your sword. Blood splatters everywhere as she falls over onto the ground.
>>103234
Seeing as that pony is dead, you decide to lash out using lightening on the stallion who got shot in the leg by Shooty earlier. You fry his brain and he falls onto the ground, suffering from a seizure.

Mace starts beating the shit out of said stallion using his mace, the latter unable to do anything but stay standing and taking the blows.

The stallion that shot you is suffering from a seizure and doesn't seem like a huge threat to you. You decide to take a swing at a different bandit using your Zweihander instead and take her leg clean off. She screams in agony as she falls to the ground, clutching the bloodied stomp where her leg used to be and crying like a bitch.

Too bad, you rolled a 1 afterwards anyway.
Crescent rushes to your aid, but she can't do anything aside from helping you get back up to your feet.
DC3 to get up.

"Well… You know what they say about zebra's girths. I… have a weak spot for your kind, I'll admit."
She winks at you, still licking her lips
>>106308
"Whaaaat?"
The paladin's ears droop back a little and she mutters some curses.
"You don't suppose we could share or something? I mean, zebra cock is big enough for two mares to share."
>>106314
She doesn't even bother picking it up
"Yeah I'll do all the moonstuff later on. Just give me a moment here, I'm negotiating."
She doesn't really seem to care about you right now, that much is right.

"We can't! It's way too dangerous to walk around with these poor ponies! They are in no condition to be running around a battlefield right now!"
>>106341
You burst inside the room alone
It appears to be some sort of dining hall with several empty tables
You sweep the mare, who is draped in a black cloak, off of her legs and she falls to the ground. You also sink your sword into the young stallions' neck, releasing a stream of blood as he screams and falls to the ground. The mare turns her head to look at you, allowing you to see her face and recognizing the eyepatch she is wearing.
"WHAT THE FU-"
Her eyes widen a moment as she recognizes you, then narrowing again afterwards.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? YOU AGAIN!?"
>>106352
"Don't be afraid cuty, I wont bite… unless you want me to."
>>106360
"Oh come on, don't be such a prude. We're all free ponies here."

You slash at Ambrosia, cutting her deeply in the stomach. She yells out in pain and scurries away.
Rolling to see if she can slip into stealth to get the hell out of dodge.
>>106385
"Some of these ponies can't even walk…"
>>106391
>>106402
The mare looks disappointed as she picks up her gear and starts putting it on.
"Awww, fine. I wont force myself any further if you're really not interested… it's just be so long you know?"
Rolled 4 = 4

"Y-you fucking devil… You whore… I hate you, I loathe you, you fucking monster."
>>106426
The stallion bled to death. He was carrying a lute on him and was probably the same age as Sol was.
>>106429
You heal her up completely
"WHAT THE FUCK DID I EVEN DO WRONG YOU FUCKING PSYCHOPATHS? WHY DO YOU KEEP KILLING THE PONIES I HANG OUT WITH?"
>>106428
She waves a hoof dismissively
"Don't worry about it. I'll stay here to keep the prisoners safe just in case by the way."

"What? I'm not going to hurt you or anything. I understand that you're not interested."
>>106438
"His NAME was Uster. He was a bard. H-He was a good kid too-"
Her one eye waters a little
"I knew him s-since he was just a little colt…"
>>106440
"This is where I came from for fucks sake! I came back to grab my shit so I could go someplace else, then Uster suddenly wanted to join me and… We were raiding this place for some food when you fucking assholes came and started killing everything that moved again."
>>106445
"Fuck you! Seriously, just fuck you! Just fucking kill me already!"
>>106443
Nope, you start dryhumping Ambrosia instead.

>>106467
She grits her teeth in anger
"Yeah, sure I fucking want gold. I also want this fucking WHORE TO STOP HUMPING ME!"
The mare throws Tasia off of her back and draws her pistol, firing at her
Roll to dodge
>>106485
You give her a very meek bitchslap
>>106492
There are several closets here stuffed with all kinds of dried food . There's also a variety mugs, plates and cans in the closets but not much else of value.

>>106499
You grab a bit of everything and stuff it in your saddlebags
>>106500
You grab the pistol out of her grip before she can do anything. Ambrosia moves to grab it but cannot reach far enough. Instead she decides to just drop down to the ground and start weeping like she never did before.
>>106502
Hell no.
In fact, you'd much rather help her kill her.

>>106508
You pull her up again and give her a jolly good warm hug. She relaxes visibly and stops her weeping, almost melting in your hooves.
"Thanks… I needed that."
She glances over at the dead stallion
"It's j-just so fucking unfair…"
>>106514
It's a dining room

Crescent and the prisoners are still in the dungeon, licking their wounds.
>>106536
The two of you make your way all the way upstairs. Upon seeing the door, Ambrosia takes out her lockpicks and gets to work.
"This is the armory of the castle."
Rolling to see how she fares
>>106537
You make your way upstairs as well, but leave the building instead. You are now alone on the courtyard.
>>106549
Nevermind, you go back inside and talk to sol
Rolled 5 = 5

Maybe you don't… but you think Crescent could use this catalyst to cast spells!
>>106574
>>106573
>>106576
>>106577
It all looks like rusty garbage to you. Oh well, at least you tried.
Ambrosia, being from here, seems to know exactly where to look on the other hand and pulls out a wicked looking dagger.
"Sweet stuff."

You can
You don't find anything particularly special though and decide to head down.
>>106590
It's a very nice weapon indeed
So nice in fact that you grab it with your magic and take it away from her.
"What the fuck!?"
>>106588
You find yourself a steel mace under a layer of dust, still in good state too!
>>106596
You find a slightly better mace than the one mace used to have. This one sturdier looking and less rusted.
>>106600
Let's not get crazy with the rolls here.
You find a bag of steel bolts to replace the iron ones that shooty has on her right now.
You and Zivur can still search again to find something with a single roll

>>106612
Crescent is looking absolutely filthy right now, her coat dirty and her muzzle covered in dried blood. Crescent is busy bandaging a stallions leg and answers in a tired voice
"It's a lot of work, some of these ponies are in bad shape…"
You also notice the paladin in silver armor busy healing ponies elsewhere in the room.
>>106613
>>106614
Nothing at all
>>106615
>>106609
The two of you crawl back out of the hole in the door and are on the courtyard once more, Brawny is nowhere to be seen and you can still hear the sound of fighting and yelling going on.

The armory is in the top of the building you were in, on the first floor.
The main floor is where you came in from when you half destroyed that door. It's where Sol and Zivur were talking
There is a stairs leading underground that come out in a hallway. To the left of the hallway there is the door with behind that the prisoners
To the right of the hallway is the dining room where you met Ambrosia again
Falkmar and Allegro are outside on one of the courtyards inside the castle walls
