PRISON BREAK.
The city was scouted before you arrived, and the enemies plotted and succesfully pulled away the soldiers and you, allowing a fair number of captured Pirates and Privateers to escape.
#The Marketplace
A devastating blast killed numerous civilians and brought the brunt of the security forces here, leaving the rest of town open. All around you is rubble and the cries of injured civilians.
#The Police Office
Narrowly saving some of the staff and putting up stiff resistance, the enemy was able to distract those inside with a smoke bomb and false runners. With the little time they had, they opened some of the cages and released the Criminals inside.
Now what is left is trying to deal with the panic of Magarac, people rushing the ships, and the suffering.

You find a perfectly intact copy of what you were searching for earlier. It fits in your hoof. Vietka picks up a really large, damaged doll as well.
You can take it with you, but all around you is still the smell of smoke and lots of suffering.
>>546807
The Gryphon Officer you were talking to, Officer Sagit, is just punching at the ground and cursing. Every few moments, he just looks around.

She bites into her purse after you bandage her. It's still hurt and she's taken no medication. Now what will you do with the injured Jenny?
>>546812
>>546813
Your shot bounces off the wall. Some of the returning officers just look at the source of the sound and back down.
The prisoners already ran away. This is about half an hour or more afterwards.

He coughs a few times before recovering his composure.
"Outside of the city wall, there's a few houses, but they probably ran past the hills into the fields. We'll have to stay here to safe guard the rest of them and the town, in case it's another trap. But, if they planned this, I don't know what else is waiting for you."

Hopscotch has taken off already. You can both fly, Sagit didn't even bother to give you a pass.
The smoke is starting to lessen in the Office, you'll be able to enter shortly.
Around you, ponies and others run around. Some carrying luggage while others carry buckets for fires.

"Bah!" he says as you tighten the ropes around his hooves. You can hear the Unicorn not far from your position.
>>546838
She finally drops her purse and screams out in agony. That piece of metal will not be moving without professional aid, like someone on your ship.

>>546843
"Don't know. A big armored buffalo ran me over as they left. Could you run to the ship and get the doctor and anyone with medical training? We need them badly, and I have to stay close by or my girls might get in trouble."

The problem will be getting on the ship, actually. There were lots of people with their bags already packed who were waiting to get on, not to mention that you have a fleet of five ships with only a trained crew on two of them. There are people in the water, and sailors are trying their best to keep the panickers off the ship.
>>546847
There's a group of odd ponies doing something along the road leading to the fields. They have a few rifles with them and some tied up people near a cart.
>>546849
You're spotted! A Diamond Dog took a shot at you. Roll another d10 to avoid crashing!

You're also about three times the size of the average rioter, you quickly push through the crowd as they were never expecting someone like you to get behind them. The sailors rush to knock off the bridge between them and the port, to keep more people from trying to get on.

The Prisoners have mostly taken to sitting and cursing their fate as you walk them back to the Police. The Pegasi are holding on to each other, and the previously armored Earthie is just looking down.
There was some additional shouting as you went past the buildings.

Compared to the last time you brushed her mane, she tenses up and seems frozen in place. Her breathing becomes noticeably labored.
>>547653
"You just after money!" Chimes in the Diamond Dog with the broken shoulder.
The Pegasi seem to quiet down, though.
"Oh, and what kind of a chance are you talking about? Doesn't seem like there'll be much for the likes of us." Adds the Earthie.

They're already on the way back. They've got a cart loaded with Prisoners and a pair of old goats with them.
>>547656
"That just means we be someone's slave for life. I should'a died back there instead." Yells the goat.
"He's got a point. Not much left for us to hope for after this. Not like we can choose who owns the rest of our lives."

Before you arrived, you had been playing with the girls. Normally, Fisher's wings move with the motion of petting her mane.
Fisher tries to speak, you can see her mouth move, but nothing comes out.
"Remember, they were property before this." Citrine finally adds, holding a rag up to her head. "After all this, it might have sparked some memories about the old captain. We knew he wasn't nice to them."
>>547659
Roll 4d10 to listen in to the argument.

You can't make out the conversation, there's lots of shuffling, with sudden movements and then silence. Occasionally, you hear a tapping noise, followed by conversation that's difficult to make out.

Her pupils are of different sizes when you finally get a good look at her. She moves her head around, as if trying to focus on you.
Desmayo and Gravy are holding on to each other.

There's a Zebra and a Gryphon walking around, but in the middle of the room is a large Earth Pony with some cuts and bruises.
"I donno, 'bird. I still say we otto run." The Zebra says.

The Diamond Dog and Donkey shirk to the back of the cart when they hear the second part, the Pegasi suddenly stopping their shouts and covering their mouths.
"Hahahahaa!" The Earthie laughs. "That's exactly what my parents said. After all this, I wind up in the same place, but even worse." He stops for a moment and looks around the cart and at the Pegasi.
"Hey, if you're serious about all this, then, hear me out."
>>547679
It was grazed by a bullet, but you can still fly. Get the Docs to look at it when you're back in town proper or on the Persimmon. From the sky, you see a pair of moving shadows, which is odd, since most people locked themselves into the buildings when all the explosions were happening.

Fisher's eyes are still dilated. In fact, they seem to be fluctuating worse than before, and now her ear is moving erratically.
>>547681
It's a small shack at best, to be honest. It was used for storage and is barren except the two victims of your attack and the Earthie who is now trying to move frantically, bound to a chair as he is.

Pick up a little stone off this shack floor and toss it so it skitters across the other side of the shack, causing him to look that way, then move into position on the other side.
Spooking ponies is an important part of diamond dog cultural heritage!

"Really?! I mean, yeah, sure." The Earthie sits down, the cart bouncing a little when he does.
>>547687
"Please, not the claws, pleasedon'tcutme. PLEASE!" She yells as you fall on top of her. She's trying to run away, but even if you got up, she's doing a pitiful attempt at it. She seems to be trying to run while on the floor, not even making the proper motions to get up.
>>547688
>>547690
It's so successful he falls over with the chair and knocks himself out. You can hear him crying childishly, despite his size rather large size.
>>547689
They get back to back, pulling a sword and a pair of kitchen knives.
"Whose there!? Show yourself, don't hide like a coward!"
"Yeah, get up close and get it good, okay!"
They don't know where you are. From your vantage point, you can see them looking around everywhere.

They panic a little more, moving from building to building, looking into windows and such yelling obscenities before they catch on to your giggling.
"Hey, you stupid Catbutt, shutup and leave!" yells the Donkey.
>>547693
Yes, the gate Guards are a little apprehensive at first, but one of the Officers signals you threw.
"Relax, the catbird was with us. Looks like she rounded up some of the escapees."
The doors open, and you can see Officer Sagit and his henchmen moving in and out of the building.

I saw what you did to that Diamond Dog, I don't want to say anything that causes those swords to come out. I'll have them work the rest of their days, might as well make them pay for the damage they and their friends caused."
He nods his head towards towards the other officers and they start unloading them.
"Hey, will you listen now, then?" The Earthie shouts.
>>547703
He stops crying, but his eyes are still quite red. He looks at you indignantly.

"We could use more laborers. At least knowing we don't have to pay them makes it easier on the towns pocketbooks. 'Sides, we needed more workers anyway."
The Earthie looks at the Pegasi and then at you.
"You beat us fair and square, so buy us. All the things you said, I want to see if you really put them in practice, starting with the people you spared."

That leaves him speechless. He just watches as you move around.
Outside, you can see a struggle between Knox and two Privateers. Knox's wing seems strange.

You can have up to six signed off for you. These were ones that were taken off your ship, they still technically belong to the Persimmon as they haven't been sold off yet.

"They, get quiet sometimes. Gravy sometimes just stares at the roof, and Desmayo just falls asleep as you're talking to her." Viatka tells you as she holds her toy.

A simple test of character. If they go through with it, they all die.
Need to recall things about the ship and shrinking potion. Can I change the intensity so it only reduces size by half or so? Is there a bigger room available?

"If that's want you want, at least let me die by a real warriors blade. No hanging for me."

It's been about 3 days since the bombing. Life is starting to return to normal, though the Passenger ship is seeing its coffers fill as people start booking for passage away from here.
#Klava, Knox, and Hopscotch
You've been assigned to the Officers for the moment, to safeguard the prisoners and make sure there is no attempt at running away again. Some of the Prisoners are being stubborn while others are solemn. Most of the buildings looking at you are filled with people watching what is going on.
#Gunhilda and Torm
You're back on the ship, acting as security to make sure there isn't another rush on the vessel.
You'll all be free to move around shortly when your replacements arrive.

Of course, there are a few who could do it under the table…

"We're setting up some patrols. We don't want them to try again for the rest. They've got a good number back, which would make them harder to hold back this time. Can you patrol the area over the gates, report anything fishy?"

It won't be easy, or clean. The easiest would be to look for some criminals and impress your way up their organizations. Those that delve into these things are darker than black, though.
Perhaps you could ask around to some Holy ponies, their magic might work.
>>548845
There's lots of work going on. A lot of houses were looted and belongings damaged. They've got a fire going on to dispose of that garbage. A few ponies head into houses when they see you flying around.

>>548849
There are a few ponies with their bags loaded, just waiting to get on your ship should anything happen. With you at the ready, they are cowering behind their luggage.

>>548855
A pup emerges from the hole, and suddenly a Pegasus filly darts out. The Pup quickly grabs the filly out of the air.

>>548859
They're scared. They're worried that there will be another attack. They'll board any available ship in hopes of getting away. It's a bad omen for the town.

Nope, they just do their best to sneak down the alleys. Of course, they never noticed you and you can tell their technique leaves a lot to be desired.
>>548869
The buildings leave way to a pair of trees and bamboo shoots. It looks like an organic hallway with the trees becoming intertwined. There's a small thing, like a bird house, with a bit of fire in front of it. You can hear some movement in the back of the 'shrine'.

"Ayana is one of the Pegasi, a friendly little thing who should probably think about eating a little more," the Gryphon goes on and on while the Goat occasionally jumps in with a little tidbit. "She's lost all her feathers and she won't be able to fly for a good long time. I used to just stare at her at she flew in the sky. And the child, it was Sandusky's child. She was taking her to get some candy, and then this all happened. They're worried she might have lost her hearing. And Beth, oh dear."

>>548876
The Officers are pulling out Pirates that haven't been branded and going about doing so in public. A group of officers asks them a few questions, then they get paraded around as each cut is done by an individual, eventually leading to the branding. Even the Officers that are chatting during their break are looking on.

A brown, sweating stallion with a hat starts trying to speak up.
"It's umm, the Pirates! Everyone here is worried that they'll come back."
>>548879
When he wakes up, he starts thrashing against his restraints.
"Let me go, you dirty Pirate, so I can show you how a real Stallion stands his ground!"
>>548880
It's a Buffalo. He's huge even for Buffalo standards, and he's sobbing behind the trees.

"There's Doctor Briard, but he's got his paws full anyways. He's done what he could for them, but I don't think there's anything else to be done for them except wait. I pray that the little kid doesn't lose her hearing, but it might be a good trade-off in comparison to what happened to Beth."
>>548883
Even from your hidden point, you can see all the windows and on-lookers. Almost every available window is open, with some ponies yelling extremities and others applauding when one of them is sentenced to death.
A pony wearing a sailor uniform from the Persimmon is walking around.

"That Buffalo. She though she could take on the world. Always talking about making it big, or at least bigger that she already way if you get my meaning. She was there in the blast, she took the brunt of it. She's been passing out since then. Conscious for a little bit, then falls right over."
"If you think you can help, head to the clinic, it's on the other side of town, to the east, near the docks. Celestia knows they can get all the help they can get."
>>548891
"I don' know what he looked like. I just had my grandad's watch in a shirt, I took it off to let it dry, and when I turn around, it was gone. I've been combing the area here ever since. Say, could you lend a hoof? I'd pay you."

"Wait, are they hunting you? Did they follow you here? Do you know if there's more of them? You have reinforcements, right?"
Respond and roll to be reassuring.
>>548894
"Yeah, they're rotating us to add to the police force. If you see anything weird, the mayor gave us authority to interfer like the rest of the officers."
There's lots of people talking and plenty of stalls to visit, along with the warehouse from before.

"Oh, oh! Yeah, sorry, but you might have to wait awhile if that's what you want. The two Gryphons who handle the shrine are helping at the clinic. I can take you there if you want…"
His voice is cracking.
>>548897
"Thanks. The shirt was blue and green. Blue like the sea in the middle of that day, see through, because it's kinda old. Green like the grass because I usually stain it with grass while working. I've looked all around here, but nothing. Can you fly over the western fields here?"
Roll 3d10 to spot.

The pony guard from before is back, but this time he's way more tense. He's clutching his weapon close. Any tighter and he might snap it in two.
>>548900
"Bless you, child. They can use any helping talons."
Roll 2d10.
>>548902
There's a Donkey lying in the field, in a red pool. There's a lot of stuff thrown about.

With that, the tears begin to flow again.
"It's my sister. She was caught in the blast. I don't know if she's gonna make it! She's such a little thing, why'd it have to happen to her? Why not me?"
>>548905
There's a Pegasus filly darting around in the blast area.
>>548906
No, but he's barely breathing. Only his eyes move, his breathing is shallow.
>>548907
He jumps about two feet into the air before realizing its you.
"I was just here the whole time. But everyone is on edge, we're worried they might come back for a straight up round two, ya know?"
>>548908
They start murmuring amongst them before you can even finish. You can hear the stories of the pirates' evilness increase every moment. They're going to drive themselves into a panic.

"It's not just the Prison or the Warehouse I'm worried about. What if they tried to take the town? I'm just a guard, not a soldier. Same goes for most people here."
>>548911
She's no match for a Gryphon. She's struggling with all her migth to get away, but you don't even register it.
"I have to find mommy! Let me go, she might still be under all that stuff!"
>>548912
Seeing you approach, the guards start pointing you towards it. It's near the docks, and as you fly by, you see Knox in the bombed marketplace. There's a few stretchers left out in the open air and a Zebra waving her hoofs at you.

"I was there when the blast happened too, though I obviously escaped the worst of it. My girls, though… some of them were… under the control of a very evil captain. They were with me at the time, and… the stress must have triggered those memories. They just… curled up together… when I touched them, they would… scream for mercy… begging to be spared from… unspeakable things…
I… I don't know how to help them. I don't know if they can be helped. That's why I came here, in search of… answers, of hope.
What I'm trying to say is, I know how powerless you feel right now. I know how much it hurts to watch someone you care about suffer and be so… unable to help them."

The Buffalo sobs louder and embraces you in a massive hug.
"Why, why? Why's this all gotta happen to good folk? We make an honest living, so why?"
>>548915
"She dropped me off at Aunties house for a week, but she was supposed to pick me up a day ago. I know there was an earthquake, but she hasn't back yet so I'm looking for her. But Aunty said that I should stay inside, but I want mommy!"

The crowd stays silent, then a slightly drunk Unicorn yells out "I bet they're more lilly-livered than Fresca is after a stiff cider! We can whoop them in no time *hic*"
A pony yells out in agreement, and soon the conversation starts spilling towards preparation instead of panic. Some of them open their bags to reveal weapons and basic armors.
>>548917
"Thanks, where'd you find old man McGregor?" She asks. "I know he's a drunk, but after all this…"
>>548918
"I hope you're right. Especially for my sake. I'm supposed to get a big payout soon, I can't use it if I'm dead. So, what can I do ya' for?"

Return the hug.
"Because that's life. No matter how good or bad you are, bad things and good things happen to you all the same. It's what we do with them that makes us who we are.
I know that my girls will never be the same, that they'll always have problems because of what they went through. I could accept this and give up hope of them getting better. Instead, I am here, seeking out ways to help them.
I am… sorry if I come across as cold. I have had to learn to… keep my emotions in check, over the years. My heart aches when I think about their suffering. That is what drives me to help them.
Because that's what you do when tragedy strikes; you fix what was broken as best you can, then rebuild even stronger than it was before.
And should the worst come to pass… We all do, eventually. Why mourn their passing, if you are guaranteed eternity with them?"

"She had a red bow! And purple cape. She said she'd always wear that, but I should only tell people in an emergency. She didn't come to pick me up, so I can tell you. Now please, help me look around, there was a big fire and I want to find her."

Well, they look good now, I think. How long till my replacement comes?

He just sobs, but then let's you go.
"Follow me, I can take you to the clinic. The Gryphon who helped run the shrine here is a friend of mine, but he's probably trying his best over there."
>>548924
"Well, I for one hope you don't spot it. I don't want anymore trouble until then. Oh, and that soil, I thought it was weird you took it. What was it for?"

There's a Zebra and a Unicorn walking the road, but they're both armed.

There's a Diamond Dog pup jumping up into the air, waving at you.
You also spot purple cape floating on a roof top. It's torn and burned.
>>548928
He's already here, and he's joining you in riling up the crowd by telling them off all your deeds. All the ships you've taken and Pirates you've captured.

Uh
I-
I point in the opposite direction!
"I think I see a purple cape over there! You should go check it out!"
And after she runs off, I quickly fly up and snatch that purple cape off the roof, and then go see what the Diamond Dog pup wants.
"Do you need something?"

There are lots of marks on the chest he turns out to be carrying. Th wind sometimes pushes up his clothes and you spot a lot of metal glistening in the light.
>>548931
"I hope its just put it behind us."
He leads you to the clinic, where a Zebra nurse is pushing a patient on a stroller and a Unicorn is levitating a child to another room.
The Gryphon is easy enough to spot with his odd clothing. He's holding up the head of another Earthie and giving them water.

"Who are they? When are they coming?" She asks.
>>548938
"Really, an interesting thing to do at"
*Boomp!*
A red ball quickly passes between the two of you and bounces off the wall.
"Hey, you could have hit us, you darn kids! At least you don't have to deal with that at sea."

It starts leeching off some of your magic, but when he starts using it over the Earthie's wounds, only a small bit starts reforming.
"I shouldn't have expected too much from it, but thank you." He says.
The Earthie offers you a tired smile.
"What did you need from me?" He asks.
>>548941
"No, just the ribbon. Or I think it is, but I don't want her to see it like it is. She might panic like she usually does, and then she won't stop crying."
>>548942
He's a little roughed up, and he's got a dangerous butter knife in his pocket.
"Stuff, my stuff, just take it, okay?!"

Yup, this time it's a pair of Donkey's. They've run up to collect their bouncy ball.
>>548946
"Well, that's what she calls my mom. She spends so much time with us I'm starting to believe it, and mom doesn't say anything to stop it. Can you carry me too, and we'll just go home for now. This place, it's bad and I want to go home, please."
>>548947
The Zebra and Unicorn seem to have a torn one that matches that description, though they are using the one they have to wrap around a few things.
The Zebra near the Smith is rifling through some things, and you see something flashing occasionally.

"Three. One Earth pony stallion, he seems like an experienced warrior. Two pegasus mares, I'm not very sure about them. I hope both of you can help take care of them. Now it'll be a bit cramped here with so many, so I'm trying to think of how to make things more comfortable. Either some will have to move to the quarters below, or… there is a potion one of my comrades uses to shrink his servants so they're comfortable in a miniature house. I'm hesitant to use any of these methods."

"Sorry," he says as one of the Nurses instructs him on where to use his talons to cut out a piece of metal from a Unicorn's horn. "But, that seems way out of my league to really help, for I am just a travelling monk-in-training. I've barely begun my own travels of enlightenment when the opportunity to come here occurred."
"Sorry, one moment." He rushes over to hold down a convulsing Diamond Dog. "His paws, hold them down!"
>>548950
She's searching in the bell tower, you find her inside the bell. It amplifies her calls to her mother. It won't be difficult to pluck her from there.
>>548951
Correct. He's put his hoof on top of their bouncy ball and berating them.

Go after the Zebra, or the Unicorn?
>>548953
Singer's eyes light up.
"You mean I can be tiny, like a toy?"
>>548955
"But, but, I haven't found mom!"
She starts sobbing. The Pup looks sad, but points out his house.
"Can you keep this a secret and not tell mom?" The pup asks.
>>548956
You're back in the main area, where all the soil is. No one seems to be walking around so far.

"Perhaps my masters back in Phonshan could help you. Perhaps it is providence that sent me here to send you there. Please, keep holding him down, he can be at this for some time. It's few ponies I've met who've asked me these things."
>>548959
The Zebra has it wrapped around him, with stuff inside. The arrow misses but he keeps running to a farm house off in the distance.
>>548960
Lots of containers with lots of smells coming from them lay inside. There's also a lot of food being stored here, and barrels of water.
>>548961
"Over there," he points at a house near the prison. "I made a hole."
Roll to spot.

"Few survive what my girls went through. Fewer still are able to bear the scars."
Keep holding him down. '1d10'
"…I must be honest with you… these girls are not mine by blood. In fact, I first met them when I saved them from their tormentor. They have… made bad decisions that many would judge them by. Knowing this… Would your masters still be willing to help? Or would they turn us away at the door?"

When you land, the pup warns the Pegasus to keep quiet.
"Look, we'll look for your mom later, but we'll get in trouble if you make too much noise, okay?"
A paw puts appears on your shoulder.
>>548964
The smells get stronger in one of the corners, but they're vary distinct. There's a red one with a sweet smell, and a green one with a sour smell. Which do you want to open?

Another one bites the dust. Headfirst, from a well placed, high velocity projectile. Sure, it's not meant to be lethal, but it will hurt him.
>>548966
"I always liked playing with toys, so if I'm as big as one, maybe people will come play with me!"
"It doesn't work that way, you know." Adds Amadi, embarrassed enough for the both of you, but Singer remains wide eyed in her dream land.

"Please, stronger, he's overpowering us!"
>>548969
Negative.
A big shadow looms over you, and even the kids notice it.
"Hey, mom…"
The Diamond Dog hugs the pup and the filly and starts crying.
>>548970
It's candy.
Underneath a few layers of it and a poorly fabricated false bottom is lots of gold.
>>548972
You have the list, but some of the ingredients were traded away.
Roll 4d10.

>>548976
The second one has strange smelling plants and a few bottles of dark liquid. There's a notebook, but the writing is really small.
Roll 2d10 if you want to investigate further.
>>548977
You're gone, last thing you see is all three of them huddled together. Where to?

"I am currently bound by contract to hunt pirates with the fleet. Once my contract expires…
I am willing to take the risk, if it will truly help my girls. They are… very special to me, even if they do have a checkered past. My only questions are, can they help, and would they be willing to? If the answer to both is yes, then no trial will deter me."

>>548980
You can barely make out the writing, it's so small. But what you can see is the word "FAIL" and all its derivatives, over and over, usually written over some formulas, text, and pictures of ponies and other races.
>>548981
"Well, it leads into my next question. You can release him now, we'll find some bindings soon. What if they confirm they can help them, but say no? What then?"

Nothing so far, though you aren't the only one here trying. A Ram and a Pegasus is also searching. There's a priest praying at the opposite end.
>>548985
He gives you a comforting pat on the back before running off.
"Then you're already on the way to doing everything you can for them. I'm grateful the world has people like you. Apologies I couldn't do more."
>>548987
A Unicorn already has been hung and the body is twitching to the crowds applause.
"For the crimes of Murder, Piracy, and Attempted Escape, you are hereby sentenced to death, by hanging. Have you any last words?"
The crowd is booing.

No desired effect except for hiccups after consumption. I'll need to head into town to try and find food.

Did get bigger, but it was just gas. Found candy nearby.

There was a large explosion nearby. I'm taking cover until then, suspending all actions until I'm sure it's safe and I won't be caught.

"Someone was attempting to make things bigger? Hmm… Oh, of course, they must have slaves here. I must ask Hopscotch more about this strange pony custom of keeping shrunken slaves. Wait… how many large explosions could they possibly have? Tiny writing… and today's date…"
Glance around for a tiny slave!

Even with your sharp vision, you don't see any more bodies.
The Priest is consoling the Ram, but the Pegasus takes to the air as well and is frantically looking around.
>>548991
It's packed with the dead and dying. There's a Pegasus in a priest suit talking to a Diamond Dog with his eyes closed.
"You are in a place that holds reverance for Celestia and Luna, but I'm sure your deity will not mind. He's waiting for you, of that you can be sure."

"Yeah, my only regret is I got caught by those!"
The floor gives way and the bound Pegasus' neck snaps. The crowd celebrates as the body twitches in the wind. The Officer goes towards a Zebra and reads off the same list of accusations.
>>548994
There's a set of translucent wings behind a bottle. They're flapping in place.

"Depends on what kind of sicknesses are you referring to. Hand me that cloth, she's running a very high fever."
>>548997
It's crowded. There's lots of ponies in stretchers and some on the floor. There's a Gryphon and Zebra team going to the beds, but there are many more just wandering about like the Pegasus with the wing casts and an irate buffalo yelling.

You can hear the tiny things breathing. It doesn't even notice your paws approaching it, it just stays in place. All you need to do is close your hand and you'll have the prize.

"Renish, step forth!"
The Guards open up a cell and pull out the Earthie, who has undergone the branding process.
"Cordon, step forth!"
The blue Pegasus walks out as quickly as she can, hobling on a broken leg.
"Saffron, step forth!"
The orange Pegasus is escorted out of her cage at gunpoint.
"From here on out, you are now the Property of the resident of Phonshan, Gunhilda. Any attempts at escape from her person can and will be punished with death. For the rest of your existence, you will be treated the same as any piece of furniture, your ownership passes on to her next of kin or whoever she wills it to. Do I make myself clear?"

There's a Pegasus with a damaged wing that you manage to quickly set. Even without anesthetic or pain killers, he barely feels it. He gives you a quick hug before falling back into his stretcher.
>>549003
"How terrible, to have suffered so much in such a short life. However, I'm afraid I'll have to tell you that you're already doing the best you can for them."
He walks over to a Pegasus and Earthie who just passed away and covers them.
"Do you know why so many have come to these islands, sir?"

Closing it is when you finally start getting resistance from your captive. You can feel the wings moving around in your paw.
>>549007
"Because I'm asking you to consider them and maybe move to quieter pastures."
He starts offering prayers over the bodies, but simply sits down when he finishes.
"I'm very much afraid, because I fear this will not be the last time I have to give so many last rites. If you care for them in any sense, you'd plan on leaving before it gets worse, or at least when your contract expires."

They simply look downtrodden and respond that they're ready. The Officer who handled the paperwork has them bring over a cart with all the sides boarded up.
"Take 'em in that. Cause less trouble for you and the people in town."
>>549009
It's packed enough that no one really minds as long as you don't make it worse. You help a Donkey re-dress his wound. The bandage was getting extremely dirty.
"Thanks, these hooves aren't good enough for such delicate work."

Load them up on the cart.
"Alright then, let's go. Make yourselves comfortable."
Bring them off. When we're on the road, away from the police station:
"Just so you all know, the reason I would even take you all on is because I believe you are all capable of being more than what you are now. You all can be more than base criminals good only for hard labour. Remember this."

They're hard to miss with their size and with that buffalo's mouth.
"I'm not passing out! It's called sleeping you big dolt!"
A lot of the ponies nearby have a smile on their face or are trying to contain their laughter.

Gravy and Desmayo are washing the deck. A Unicorn with a rifle salutes when he sees you.

The Breezie goes from scared to irate in an instant, flying up to your face.
"I'm not nobodies but me, got it you big stupid jerk!"
The rest is just Breezie insults relating to things you don't know or care about.
>>549018
Saffron speaks through the planks, asking: "Why do you think that? You're the first person I've fought with or against who has ever said anything like that."

I believe if I give someone hope and a second chance, they might learn to be better by embracing the good in themselves. Had any of you actually tried to kill each other, I would have put such miserable beasts down myself."

Fine is relative. She's completely bandaged up, so much so that she'd pass for a mummy. Some of those bandages are covered in blood.
"Honestly, you make me worried being here. I know its downtime anyways, but you gotta do stuff for yourself, you oaf. Have you at least cleaned the pans?"
>>549021
"Great! It's nice being outside." Desmayo shouts. Gravy just nods, but smiles at least.
>>549022
"I'll tell you I'm not a slave! I'm a free Breezie, I'm always small!" The Breezie crosses her legs as she floats. "Wait, they can make ponies tiny?"
>>549023
The Pegasi hold each other at the mention of being put down. They stay quiet the rest of the trip.

>>549026
"Do I look like a pony to you! Wait, don't answer that."
A sudden realization strikes her and she starts staring at you.

She's in the Children's ward. They've been moved to a separate area with toys and supervision, to keep them from seeing the worst that has happened. She isn't the only one who is bandaged though.
>>549030
"REALLY!" Desmayo starts jumping, but the Unicorn guard taps the ground with his rifle. Gravy is giving you an inquisitive look.
>>549031
Her eyes grow wide. "You know, I never thought about just shrinking ponies, but they can already do it? If it means getting it, then sure, I'll do it!"
#Pause.

Glance away evasively. "Not all of them. There's no way we're getting this barrel out of town above ground. I'll dig a hole to the harbor. Keep a lookout."
Find a spot behind the barrels in a corner where it's hard to see and spend the next many minutes digging a whole big enough for barrels all the way to the shoreline!

Take her hooves in mine.
"I want to help you, Fisher. I want to help all of you. But I can't do that if you just shut me out."

It'll be easy enough for you to find next time, you know in which direction to go to hit it.
As you approach the shoreline, and reach the surface, you can hear music playing above you.
>>549354
"But you can't… My life is already over, I'm just hoping you use it better than I did."
Her eyes tear up and she looks down. The guard is still snoring.

"Look at me. Look. At. Me." Lift her chin until she's looking me in the eyes. "It tore me up inside seeing you in that much pain and being helpless to help you. I'm going to try a few ideas I've had, I even found the name of a place we can go some day that may be able to help. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure you never have to go through that again. Do you understand?"

"I'm not going to lie, it's going to be hard. You're going to have to face what that monster did to you… because just hiding them away only makes them fester until they explode out.
It will probably hurt for a long time to come… but I'm going to be there with you every step of the way."

"Oh, OH! You mean, like what type of container I like being stored in! I like this one, it's big, and I can fly around. I can do stuff to, and I can get out easily."
She shows you a small gap she can squeeze through. Your 'slave' is resting on the mattress you made her.
>>549438
A smile returns to her face, along with a wave of redness. She's like putty in your hooves.

She starts looking around, her ears darting in all directions.

She turns even redder and scrunches, waving her hooves around in a negative fashion.

>>549458
She turns even redder and scrunches, waving her hooves around in a negative fashion.
She looks away and motions for you to just leave already.
>>549562
Roll 2d10 to confirm. Klava's leaving you behind.
>>549564
Finding the remaining open shops is easy. There's a Diamond Dog bringing in a big container with lots of ponies and others waiting for him. They toys are being sold by an old horse, but he's beginning to pack up. There's a pair of arguing goats selling vegetables.

"Very well then. I just wanted to see your wares anyway. I appreciate it."
Whisper to CC, "I could build something like this, a little house for you to live in, if you like. With a tiny bed and closet, kitchen, et cetera, so you can have some privacy and comfort."
Now check out the vegetables and diamond dog. Look for any herbs on the list.

"Really, you mean it?!"
"What's a closet?"
The vegetable selling goats stop arguing when they see your massive frame visit their stall. When they go over your list, they have most of them, but in limited quantities. The rest has been bought up in the panic. You'll have to ration this.
The Diamond Dog puts the container down while looking at the vegetables and you see people paying and running off with weapons.
>>549612
"I'm fine," Viatka says but then points to Citrine, who has gone to the guard and is bowing to him. He just sighs for the moment.
"Again?"

"Yes? Is that strange?"
I am highly reluctant to give mineral wealth to ponies but… goats aren't technically ponies are they? Pay 'em and take ingredients back.
Once I get back to my room, disassemble those barrels and start work on a little house.
"Watch and tell me if you want adjustments."

She stops in front of the bed, her eyes seeming to become larger. She wraps herself in the blanket and starts rolling around on it.
An irate, red faced guard informs you that he went down stairs.
>>549680
You could try dunking a rag in water, but you'll have to go to Iolite to get some clean water.
>>549681
"Hoo boy, you know how to work those talons!" The Buffalo female yells out. "How can I take you home!?" An oddly dressed Gryphon brings over a roll of fresh bandages.

Help steady her.
"Thank you for your assistance."
Pause. "I don't know you or your friends well because they are afraid of me, but I am starting to gather your situation. I enjoy building things… if there's something I can do to make your stay more comfortable, perhaps I can work on it at sea. Just ask."

A good chance you don't, since firearms aren't all that popular where he's from. He's helping a few ponies and listening to their prayers.
>>549766
C.C. pops her head out. "But, you're so big! You couldn't fit in here without squishing everything!"
>>549767
Your scarf could do well. It's already covered with your scent.

There's a strong sense of vertigo and then the sensation of falling. When you look up, you see C.C.'s large head taking up most of your sight.
"Are you okay, what happened, this is great, hey, hey, hey!"
>>549796
>>549800
"Oh, a fellow Gryphon. How can I help you? First pass me that wet rag."
>>549801
She turns redder and starts waving her hoof and head no.
"No, no way, it isn't honest."

Catch up and whisper something to her before leaving.
"Fisher's already got first dibs on the bed tonight…
But then again, I think it might be about time to start teaching you all the more… intricate subtleties of the art. Be ready~"
Now, head back to my room to check on stuff real quick.

She helps you up. You're actually shorter than she is now, C.C. stands a full head taller than you.
"It's temporary, but I love it! I'm not the smallest one anymore! We're going to have so much fun together now that there's someone else! What do you want to do? I can take you flying now! Let's do that!"
>>549823
As she runs back inside, the Gryphon looks at you and smiles. He gives you a talon up.

They should be arriving back soon, it's almost night time.

"You must not be from Phonshan then. I'm a traveling Monk-in-training. I was told to visit the world and learn from it, but all I'm learning so far is how to treat injuries."
The patient is suffering from illness and is burning up. The rag he passes you back is warm to the touch.

"Okay, but I want to see the house to make sure everything's working eventually. This lasts about an hour, they said."
Try to board her then stop, and raise my arms. "This is a little embarrassing. I think I'm too little to get on you by myself. Could you lift me up and put me on your back, gently?"
Honestly? I might be able to clamber up, but I'd rather play up the tiny and helpless thing if it will cheer her up.

She starts giggling and trotting in place, then quickly lowers herself. Even seated, though, you can still see pretty much eye to eye.
"Have you ever flown before!?" She yells, still unaccustomed to you being small.
>>549856
Just make sure to move that stuffed thing Viatka brought. It's pretty ominous the way it is incomplete.

There isn't much blanket to roll up two ponies. You'd end up with a lot of wasted effort and two ponies that aren't fully covered.
>>550131
See here. Seems my links weren't working.
>>549036
>>550133
"Eeeh!" She squeaks out with a smile. "Hurry, get on and hold on. I'm going to make this fun!"
>>550135
It's a fever, and underneath the blankets are some severe burns. Rest is the only available prescription.
"To the East, across the sea. I managed to chance out on a vessel coming to these islands. It happened so fast, but I took it as divine guidance and now I am here, where I am needed. Pass me another wet rag, there are more in need of it. You, where did you come from?"

You find some decent rope lying around. Must have been brought fresh from the market. Not a string out of place.
As for your hair, it's absolutely disgusting. Like you used a piece of wire to try to comb it, it's worse than bed head.
>>550153
"You are! Here we go!"
She runs and leaps into the air climbing what feels to be a hundred feet to the roof, then allowing herself and you to fall. She pulls up, going underneath the bed, darting between all the things down there. Exiting the bed, she flies upside down over your absolutely gargantuan bed.
Roll to hold on!

It's right in sight. There are a couple of ponies who try to look into what is inside the cart. Inside the ship, some of the Servants are cleaning the vessel and you can hear someone trying to clean themselves in Torm's room.
In your room, Singer is doing her best to put Amadi in a meditative position, but to no avail.
>>550159
He swaps it out with the next patient.
"Well, if you get the chance, I highly recommend you visit my homeland. There is much you could learn there. But, for a Gryphon with no home land, what brought you here?"

There's a huge clump of mane hair in the brush. Maybe you're starting to lose your mane?
>>550164
Instead of going for another trip under the bed, C.C. turns in place and lands on your bed. She turns her head towards you.
"Did you like it?! Want to go again!? Come on! Oh, I never thought I'd end up bigger than someone! I like it!"

You're being watched, but whoever it is isn't making themselves known yet.
Arriving at the Prison, one of the Sailors from your ship is playing cards with the Officers. Behind him, you can see the bodies of the hanged ponies. They're being removed now.
>>550191
It's been a few days, so no one needs immediate first aid anymore. They're either on their way to recovery, or being tended to as they leave this world.
"Oh, I've never really met a warrior from these lands!" He stops what he's doing and gives a formal bow. "Um, is this proper etiquette in these lands?"
>>550192
It's like looking down from a cliff edge. To think that in most cases, you don't actually think about this type of distance.
C.C. takes a much more careful flight back to the little house and helps you move the front of it. The whole thing is exposed, and at this side, resembles a real house most ponies would live in.

"All the roofs in the world are like that to me. But," she turns to you, "I like this one a lot. I feel warm now. This is my first house, so could you show me around?" She's sticking real close to you, you can feel her chest on your back.
>>550208
"Of course, we're both in need right now. Can you at least tell me where you learned of medicine? I saw when you arrived and you're already doing better than I."

"Let me see… well, here's the entrance hall, and the wash room… I'll probably expand on this kitchen later and put in a den over there with a fireplace… And over here is the bedroom. I guess now that I'm tiny I could make you a better bed, but this is the best bed I could make when I was big."
Hop up onto the little teensy mattress I made for her.

"That is true. It had struck me as strange that they asked me to visit foreign lands, but with all this, I see why now. Do you know where you are going next? I will be staying until this town no longer needs my aid."
>>550217
You pass one Gryphon who is on the roof top, then another one a short distance from the clinic. Neither says anything, they were just observing.
Reaching the clinic, you can see Knox talking with a strangely dressed Gryphon.

It's packed in there, so you accidentally spill it. Singer offers to make the tea instead while you get the others acquainted.
>>550219
She's just watching it bounce up and down before getting on it too. She folds her wings and circles her longer body almost completely around you.
"I like it. It's much softer than that old hay nest they gave me. You're really good, you know. Can you show me how to make things like you?"

"Oh, thank you. Anyway, as you can see, there's not much space for all of us here. Two solutions we have are either to house some of you in the hold which I think is… less than preferable. The alternative is to use a shrinking potion and prepare a small area where you can rest comfortably while shrunken. Singer has been receptive to it. Which would you all prefer?

Once you were out of their sight range, they just started watching other ponies, but they never moved except to get a better view.
>>550231
"A shrinking potion? You believe we can be redeemed, and now this. Well, I'm already here, might as well give me a sip of it. Maybe it'll taste good." Renish says mockingly.
"I don't want to be a burden to my sister, so I'll take it too." Cordon says. Saffron looks at her with sad eyes.
>>550234
"You're so good. I wish the other Big Ones were like you. But, even an imitation has to be good, so take me with you when you work on these things. I want to learn about the world outside my box."
>>550240
"Here, let me take a look. Hmm, where you near the blast, or did you get in a fight recently?"

The Persimmon, a captured vessel, actually does have a shower. You'll have to pump the water yourself, though. Blankets, you'll have to wash thoroughly.
"Actually, it is. Try to keep yourself isolated from other ponies. You could pass it on to them. If you know any Gryphons or Diamond Dogs, you could stay with them. It doesn't jump that way."
>>550265
"The Prisoner Holds will always be there, and they might add more later, so, if we could, I'd like my sister to be with me." Saffron says.
Amadi was taught by Torm's servants how to make it. There's a few bottles ready that have been watered down.
For every servant you give the potion to, roll a d40.

…he's hitting on me isn't he
oh god what
I look shocked by his question - particularly the pause between it, and stutter out a response.
"Erm- I- Well- This is a public clinic and you are welcome to stay here, but I- I came here for a reason! And I am very busy! And now I must go do…. work! Medicinal work!"

"Oh, yeah, we don't want all your effort to be destroyed so quickly." You both walk outside, and as the potion's effect starts wearing off, you feel really sick. When you next open your eyes, C.C. is tiny again, her voice squeaky as she tries to get your attention.
>>550279
"You went through the effort to make it, and Cordon here might not be able to make that journey all the time. Might as well try it."

The ponies start getting warm, like their running a fever. Breathing gets labored, but in a blink, they're gone. At least until you look down. Their ears are barely above your paws! They should really add more water next time.
Cordon is looking around, unable to move. Saffron seems absolutely massive as she looks curiously at her. Renish is darting under the bed, and Singer is all smiles, even at her size. She spots a toy ball and jumps on it, rolling all around with it. Amadi just stares in amazement.
>>550299
"Let me try working with it! I've got experience trying to make a big potion, maybe I can make a safer small potion!"

C.C. struggles to open the book you brought, but when she does, she starts comparing the notes with the ingredients.
>>550309
"Yayayay!" Singer yells out.
Saffron holds Cordon in a hug, she's smiling.
Renish is actually hiding behind one of the bed's leg.

"You should quarantine them," the Gryphon says. "They could spread it to others. Make sure to bathe frequently with soap and to try to keep any articles of clothing away from each other."
>>550328
She darts over to some of the available candies and starts ripping off chunks and combining them.
"Here, mix this in and it shouldn't make you sick anymore. I think. I hope."

"A good deal of pain and inconvenience. Outside of the hair loss, there are some scabs forming." He starts looking through the rest of your mane. "You'll have to wash them off and remove them, then cover up the wound. It won't be pretty or painless, I'm sorry."

"Well, the candy is made from plants and other sugars, it'll help coat the taste and make it smoother and easier for the body to take in, because the potion is a harsh combination of icky plants to start."
"A good deal of pain and inconvenience. Outside of the hair loss, there are some scabs forming." He starts looking through the rest of your mane. "You'll have to wash them off and remove them, then cover up the wound. It won't be pretty or painless, I'm sorry."

Amadi picks up the ball Singer is on. "She's never harmed us, she's always been trying to teach us since she took us in."
Saffron offers a hoof to the tiny Renish, and after deliberating in his head, he accepts. She picks him up and holds them together and she smiles.
"Um, thank you. Even like this, I know we're supposed to be treated worse. Thanks for all this."

Your quarantine will probably burn through your potion stores. As much as Iolite likes you, she won't easily relinquish more than what you already have.

"Just you wait, I'm going to use that code in reverse one day!" She twirls in the air. "But I can't wait to have you visit me again!"

Sit and relax a bit.
"I don't know much about you new three, though. Renish, you seem like an experienced fighter."

Renish starts squeaking, but Saffron translates for him.
"He says he joined the army as soon as he could. When they lost, he wound up on a Poneland-Lethuanian ship and transferred to their navy. He's been in war ever since."
"My sister and I, we were taught to hunt together, to protect our home. But, we'll, it's obvious we got greedy and started going after others. It's how we wound up here."

"Oh, okay. Come on in." I open the door.
I probably look like a mess, with my mane and fur coming out in clumps.
"Sorry about that. Scald isn't the prettiest disease, but it's mostly harmless; gryphons and Diamond Dogs can't carry it either, so you won't catch it. Still, have to be careful: it's highly contagious for ponies."

"Unfortunate. Is good that strange pony disease is non-transmittable. Gives time to talk."
Indicate the pile of supplies I dropped off earlier. "Found more ingredients in town. Also consulted an alchemist. Did you know that when you shrink your attendants with that potion, they were getting disorientation and minor motion sickness? A sugar compound is sufficient to offset this."
Show him the new recipe.

"Oh right, that thing." Reach in my chest and pull out a very damaged stuffed toy, missing all its limbs and generally looking creepy.

Head back to my room. Now that I don't need that old mattress anymore it's time to salvage it. Take it back to Torm's room so we can chat while I work.
Use that old cloth for new arm material and feather down stuffing for stuffing. Tinker '1d10'

Actually, you do know about the disease. You were in the clinic when he first learned of it.
The pitter-patter of hooves stops and you hear some cabinet's opening.
"A customer, this late in the day? And a Gryphon to hoof. What can a simple tailor do for you today?"
A Goat about half your height, who you couldn't even see from behind the counter, jumps up in front of you.

"Before I begin, I'm sorry, but I must know exactly why you are getting them new clothing? Couldn't they just be given whatever rags you find on the floor?"

I could find them a small enclosure. Not very comfortable about putting them in a toy house. Feels demeaning, and if potion wears off while they're inside…
"Alright, so, how'd you like to rest while you're shrunken? Would a tray of cloth do? If you truly want, I may be able to find a toy house, but I don't want any of you thinking yourselves mere toys."

The Pegasi sisters are talking, and then the bigger one speaks up. "If we could fly around, we wouldn't mind either."
Renish seems to be trying to argue with them, but just gives up. If he were biuggher, you could here him say: "Bah, whatever keeps the rodents out."

"Well, if it's to be servants, it seems fitting. You will have my best."
Despite his small size, he moves gracefully when measuring and cutting the suits. His small hooves are ideal for threading needles and making sure the stitching suits a servant, though he did poke them a little more than should happen with a fitting. In the end, he produces two high quality suits, at least with the materials the colony has available.

There's a pair of old Goats talking and a Diamond Dog moving some weapons into boxes. Above, a pair of Gryphons are perched on roof tops, just watching everything going on.

An extinct volcano lies at the core of this surrounded island, offering itself as a strategic base for future endeavors in Caballeria.

The Flyers will deal go the second staging ground, while the remainder will scout the first area. Signal each other when you are ready to move on to the third one.

Odds are good that those are the right words.
You fail to make it to the second staging area. In fact, you land in the lake! A strong wind threw you down, but luckily you haven't been ignoring your leg days. You manage to swim your way back, but you're coughing up a lot of water. You spot two people up on the hill. One is seems to be tending a fire, the other is fast asleep.
>>555014
>>555015
Klava starts having a coughing fit, but manages to spot someone rush into the south of your position.

It was a terminal case of boneitis, as he starts to crumple in your talons. His limbs start breaking every few inches.
>>555027
You dive straight into a coconut tree instead. A softer one cracks on your helmet and gets its juice around your muzzle.
>>555025
Roll a d10 with a +2 bonus. You might be on to something here.

I'll give it to you because whoever was behind seems to have gone now.
>>555030
There's a bit of clearing up ahead, standing in the middle of it is an Earthie wearing clothing you don't recognize.
>>555031
Actually, he seems pretty healthy if he's suffering from boneitis. Maybe it's all the stuff he's ben drinking, since he's surrounded by beer bottles. In fact, he's standing up and looking straight at you.
"Jackie, hey Jackie, is it my turn yet?"

You can hear him from the forest, a good 15 feet away. He's breathing irregularly and seems pretty jumpy. In his current state, it would be impossible to sneak up on him unawares.
"I can't, they can't…"
"Where are you…"
>>555035
"If you have to go to the bathroom, can you find me one'a them purply leaves? They're nice."
You're back in the woods.

He seems quite drunk, as he's opened lots of the liquor bottles. He doesn't notice his dead comrade right there.
>>555038
>>555039
"No, dad, I won't join." He says as he looks over to you, bending his head as far back as i could possibly go. His body is moving in all manner of odd methods, none of them natural. One moment he's on all fours, the next, he's standing on his front right leg, then the next he's turned around.

He's epileptic, maybe. You've seen people who sometimes just fall on the ground and start twitching, but not once has he seemed to have lost his balance, no matter how improbable his stances have been.
"Prepare!" He bends over backwards, and with only a several movements of his body, erases the distance between you, only to stop for a brief moment before stabbing you with a damaged knife.

"Jackie! Was it a rough one?" He starts laughing. "Did you drop your brain back there too!? Get some sleep as soon as you can. We're going to meet up with the big ship soon, after they load all the supplies. Pass me another one!"
Roll a d10.
>>555046
>>555047
He can't contort himself away from your attacks, but even while unconscious, he is still spasming. He's slowed down, though.
Both of you, roll a d10 to notice.

He's wearing some decent clothing under his jacket, and quite a few knives flash as he rolls around.
>>555050
You don't notice anything strange, you can focus on the guy on the ground and see all the same things as Torm is.
>>555051
"Tomorrow, today, I'm sure." He's having a hard time keeping his balance. "Come on, pass me one. I can see better when I've got a little in me." He's got his hoof out, expectantly.
When you look back at the bottles, they all have blood in them.

You make it to the edge of the staging area, but you're tired and land with a plop.
#No bonuses to attacks until further notice
There are five individuals walking around a few huts. All armed, and they all seem to be hunting each other, constantly sneaking around.
>>555065
>>555063
Your area seems to have been cleared out. There are lots of hoof prints and flight marks on the ground. A boat with 4 people is trying to be rowed out back to sea, but they just spin in a circle.

There are five individuals, who on closer inspection, are running around five huts. Each one to one hut. Occasionally, they will stop to 'attack' someone, or head down and try to conceal themselves before getting up and repeating the whole thing.
You can at least tell that they aren't wearing uniforms like you guys, and their stuff is pretty torn up.
>>555069
"Boss! I thought you got lost out there!"

One of the hidden ones bumps his head as you startle him.
Two of the more active runners just bump into each other and start investigating a house.
"Here, kitty kitty kitty." One of the Jenny's says as she breaks off from the group.
>>555075
They're acting irrationally, at least.
>>555076
"The Navicular's got no need for cheats like you!" He pulls the trigger as he starts laughing out loud to no effect. "Blasted thing, see what you get when you steal from those haughty nobles? It's pretty, but it's useless."

You manage to chuck the Diamond Dog a good distance away, but one of the Unicorns that was there took the blow for her.
"You're not my little birdy." The Donkeylamia says. "Is he with you?" She starts looking around and you notice the pony she's embraced seems far fiercer than any other you've met.

You shoot the Pegasus as she does so.

"Such harsh words, but maybe, I can make you into one just like him." She slithers away from the embraced individual, revealing a pony with exposed bones and overdevelopled wings. His mouths have fangs on them. "Make me proud, honey." She kisses the abomination and retreats to the ship.
