Last time on Trotheim:
The party found out about a cult worshipping the mutants of the city, and discovered a cook for their camp.
They also witnessed another meteorite site and found a lair of rat-men who infest the city, bringing with them copious amounts of loot and a prisoner.
Greasy hinted that something might be going on in the monastery in the middle of the town.
Players, report in.

After a good night's sleep you notice Fourtunes snuck into the tent during the night.
The party has meditated on their skills and as such everyone who was in the sewers gets +1 skill points to spend on new skills.
You may also roll a dice, on 1 you loose the skill point, but on 10 you gain another for a grand total of 2.

You two stay in the tent to discuss things as Silver Bell and Card Trick are still fast asleep.
>>19119
The sun is shining and you can see the trade ship has brought doves in wooden cages to the piers. Greasy is just giving a parchment scroll to the ship's captain.
He turns to you with a characteristic smile.
"Morning miss Sunshine. The monastery is sending a boat to pick up some supplies today, if you want to get there fast. You can run through the city too, of course."

Greasy turns to Draven and Aurelia, and for once he isn't smiling.
"you keep your ape on a tight leash, for if he's seen skulking around on his own, my militia has been ordered to attack him on sight."
The stores are all open for you to use.
That is, the general store/green stone broker and the smith.

"I'm sure you are, loitering around the market like that"
Climb the rest of the way out of the bag
"Come, come then, if there are purchases to be made, who better to have at your side than one who knows his way in to the hearts of his fellow ponies, hm?
And don't make any implications regarding my hooves. I was not the one to spend a day in a sewer."

Greasy ignores you as he keeps talking to the ship's captain.
"I need this to reach Canterlot as soon as possible.
>>19145
>>19148
As you enter the smithy the smith gives you the long sales talk and wheezes.
"Special sale on barrel rims today…now just let me catch my breath. I really need a sign…what'll it be?"
>>19150
The smith looks at you, first startled, then annoyed.
"I don't have the whole day to talk with you silly ponies, I have a shipment of flails and hammers I need to finish for the monastery!"

"Most sorry for that revered artisan. Oftentimes my natures gets the better of me.
Doing the good work then, I hear? A fine batch of blessed weapons for the pious and worthy. Truly a deed worthy of note and praise.
For such remarkable customers, only your finest product will do, am I not correct? Might you permit me to see but one of your many creations so I could with my own eyes see the mark of truly skilled hooves upon mighty steel?"

"There's a whole barrel of them over in the corner dear. Just grab one, think of it as a loyal customer bonus."
Indeed, there's a large barrel of daggers in one of the corners.
You grab a fancy looking one.
>>19158
"You what mate?"
>>19155
He presents to you a very fine broadsword. It's blade seems to be made of stainless steel with engravings of the sun and the moon, and with an odd looking piece of armour, seemingly made of leather belts and golden buckles.
"These are the current inquisitional favourites. Now as for those pistols…they're pretty expensive to make and maintain as you know. You could have just taken the flint from the broken pistol and put it into that fancy one, but if you insist on having a brace…the whole set comes up to 250 coins."
>>19154
"No sir, It's just that my religion forbid-"
You are pushed aside by a white and red mare with a peg leg for one of her hind hooves as she enters the store and throws three full saddlebags on the counter.
"What's the current exchange rate, Deal?"
The mare and the clerk quickly change a few words as Bad Deal empties the bags of the green stone and the mare leaves with a large bag of coins, pushing you aside rudely again.
She quickly disappears into the city as you pick your jaw from the floor.

brush up to the others
"Look I'm in a bit of a fix here. See as much as it pains me to admit this, I may have lost all my money as of since arrival, and well, quite frankly, the prospect of further adventuring in this place with little more than the clothes on my back, well, does not seem like the most well thought out of plans.
This fine fellow seems to like you two, so perhaps, if at all possible, you could secure me a few key pieces of metal and I will take care of the rest on my own. You know a gentlecolt like me is good for a loan, hm? Surely you can trust a face like this?"

>>19170
The smith eyes the piece of paper for a while.
"Maybe this sharp rock and a bag of pinecones to throw would be more to your style, Inquisitor."
>>19165
Bad Deal hides under the counter for a while
"Well um-uh-I-well-um-I-should-ask-Greasy about this first"
>>19174
The smith's eyes widen at the sight of the sword
"That'll do for payment too."

"I don't uh well you see um I don't d-deal in w-weapons, m-maybe you'd like to talk to the s-s-smith down on the other side of the piers?!"
Saying this he disappears through a trap door behind his counter.
The stone exchange and general store are closed for the day because you scared the clerk away.
>>19179
He licks his lips as he presents you with a piece of silvery chainmail padded with steel plates here and there.
"That's the best piece of light armour I have, unless you want to commission something specific."
>>19182
Greasy sticks his head in through the door
"Are these adventurers giving you trouble, old man?"
The smith grinds his teeth.
"I'll accept the broken pistol as payment for either the armour or the sword, but not both. You can replace the flint yourself."

"You might have noticed miss, that the laws of the civilized world no longer apply inside these city walls. Ask Greasy, he could have you all dragged away for disturbing the peace right away."
Greasy is leaning against the doorframe, whistling.
>>19199
The smith spits on the forge.
"Fine, but you won't be getting THIS armour."
He changes the inquisitional leather cuirass to a much more simple leather vest.
You also think chainmail makes everything look cooler.
>>19198
You arrive on the scene.

"You people are some of the most unrespectful and worthless bunch I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. I shed my own blood and ask nothing but replacements for my gear in return, even going as far as to pay for it, yet you don't comply."
I take his offerings.
"May you all die a swift death very soon. And may Discord himself suckle on your diseased, corrupted teats."

Greasy surprises you by bucking you right off the pier into the raft.
"And I'd rather have you go."
>>19240
It's definitely more fancy than your previous pistol.
The longer barrel increases the accuracy, and the glowing green stone has been replaced with a standard flint.
>>19242
>>19239
She has a veil in front of her snout. She nods at you but doesn't say a word.
The raft will soon be loaded.

I lead you over to a corner of the raft that the farthest away from the group then start whispering into your ear.
"I need to talk to you about the chat I had with our rat friend. There's good news and bad news, but I need you to promise that you won't start shouting while I tell you, alright?"

"Despite what I may appear to be when so inclined, I hold nothing but the deepest of respect for those who devote their lives to a higher cause."
Nod to the nun
"I will leave you to your duties then. I trust there are no ill feelings."
Walk off to see if there is anything else worth noting here.

She seems to be an unicorn as…
>>19273
>>19282
The paddle flies out of the water surprisingly fast and lands a wet slap on your cheek. That smarts.
The nun then continues paddling with her hooves.
>>19285
You can hear some commotion as you see a group of witch hunters battling a mutant spawn in the ruins to your right, up on dry ground.
The holy mare pays them no notice as you pass the scene before you have time to react.
You will soon arrive at the mountain the monastery is built on.

the raft sails into a large basin, in the middle of which the rock-monastery arises. The nun directs the raft into a cavern in the side of the cliff.
The inside is dark and damp, save for the lights of a loading dock there. There's another raft here, which is just being unloaded.
You are waiting your turn to get onshore.

Give the cleric a sly grin and lie down on my cane
"Perhaps I am, but what is it to you? Maybe I simply came for the thrill of battle and the rush of love. The scent of blood and the taste of a lover. THE ROARING SONG OF A TAVERN OF BROTHERS, THE-"
I calm down a bit and climb back down
"-I should not get worked up like that here. We are headed to a holy place after all…"

Your turn arrives as the nun takes a quick look at Draven and trots towards a small wooden elevator which disappears into the heights above. There's a nun with a blue stripe and a piece of plate armour on her waiting for visitors there. The nun who guided the raft motions something with her hooves and the higher ranking nun nods.
There's also a larger doorway, in which servants are bringing the goods offloaded from the rafts.

The nun brings her face uncomfortably close to yours as her whisper drips venom:
"We're still more woman than you could ever hope to handle, boy-o."
>>19314
>>19315
>>19318
The party is quickly taken to the uppermost floor, which is the courtyard of the monastery. You can see the road leading outside the walls, eventually forming the bridge connecting the two halves of the city. Another thing of notice is there seems to be green grass here, even some gardens and clean air.
"Our monastery is so high the corruption of the city never reached us."
You arrive at the door to the main building as two ponies wearing full blue robes and golden plate armour stop your way with crossed halberds.
"Halt."
"Who goes there?"
The nun steps forward.
"Sister superior Martha. I bring travelers from the northern piers. We require a cleric."

Martha gets a grim look on her eyes.
"We'll have to see if that's enough…"
>>19336
You sigh and whine like a little girl.
How demeaning.
You just couldn't stop yourself.
The guards look irritated, at least from what you can tell, their veils are made of chainmail.
>>19333
"I have noticed that, but we require a member of the convent…you might be eligible for entry if you would so wish, though."
The doors open as a large, robe-clad figure carrying a large hammer with the image of the sun imprinted on it trots out.
She doesn't have a veil on hi- her.
She looks a bit masculine, but you wouldn't notice it if you weren't staring.
Her eyes flash blue for a while as she looks at each of the party members.
She then mutters something to Martha, who quickly suppresses Draven with the help of the guards. A few sisters rush to the scene with chains and his legs are quickly bound up.
Martha then turns to the rest of the party and gives the leash to Neith.
"I will ignore that you tried to bring a creature of evil into our sacred halls if you take responsibility of this vile creature during your stay in here."

A heavy warhammer drops in front of your face. It seems to have an aura that burns your very soul.
The cleric speaks down to you.
"You should be glad you weren't dragged straight to the chambers of purification, knave!"
She then kicks you in the side, somehow lifting you up to your hooves. You won't get far without tripping with those chains in your hooves.
>>19362
The cleric picks up her hammer and bows towards you.
"Holy Wrath, at your service. Everyone calls me Holly though."
Martha speaks up:
"You may now enter the grand hall."

The great hall is divided into two parts; in the first is a great feast hall, lined with dozens of tables and chairs. There are stairs leading up to the rafters of the second part, which is a large chapel devoted to the gods. The walls are made of white stone and the floor is of marble. The benches are made of rare woods and the preacher's booth is adorned with silver- and golden decorations.
The whole main building is bustling with nuns.
>>19387
Martha bows to you. "I respect your choice. You may go and rest in the barracks. They're to the right as you leave the hall."
>>19381
A guard hurries past you and mutters "who says we don't?"

"Thank you. You might want to follow me, inquisitor."
>>19397
There's a basin of holy water with a few balloons over it. Except the water is more like raspberry soda. Not a lot of the sisters worship Pinkie.
>>19398
You find the barracks and reserve a room for your party.
>>19399
Martha turns to you and speaks:
"you too, unless you want to pay homage to your gods. Oh and bring that…thing with you."
You approach the end of the feasting hall as you see a larger table, positioned differently from the others. There, upon a throne sits the grand matriarch of the monastery. On both of her sides sit three figures clad in black robes, lined with fur and wearing familiar pointy hats.
It's an inquisitional retinue.

"As am I, fellow sister of the faith. Mr. Greasy informed us of your coming. These gentlemen will want to speak with you."
She motions to the 6 inquisitors. You can see one of them is wearing a bright red robe under his black one, the sign of a high-ranking officer.
The laughing god is pleased with your proceedings.
>>19418
The matriarch sneers at you:
"I can throw you into the pit to be used as a training toy by the sisters right now if you should so wish."
>>19417

>>19428
The largest of the ponies, who has impressive waxed mustache, motions you to one of the side rooms.
"You. Alone."
>>19429
"If you can do so with bare hooves. I doubt you'll get the chance though."
>>19432
The five remaining inquisitors don't seem to care.
The matriarch speaks up:
"Was there anything you wanted? Food? Drink? Weapons, armour, any equipment? Our stores are open for you good travelers."

"The kitchen has prepared soup and stew for today, just ask one of the serving sisters and you will be provided."
>>19444
You are quickly drawn off from the group by a few strong sisters, stripped off your possessions and thrown to a large pit with a sand floor. There are a few teeth lying around on the floor.
Martha appears above you on a booth.
"The prisoners aren't normally given a chance, but since you're considered to be the pet of our esteemed guests, you can choose between a duel and a swarm."
>>19442
The inquisitor removes his black robes and locks the door.
"We were informed that you have come to contact with some rat creatures?"

>>19454
A very tired looking cook gives you two dishes and some water to drink.
>>19455
"The inquisition has known of the rat-men for years. We were sent here to map their fortress."
>>19458
Martha speaks up.
"A death in the pit is considered a murder, no matter who dies. Just you remember that. Oh, and no biting, or she won't play nice either."
She then disappears and a huge iron door is opened, revealing a mare rivaling you in size. You can see each invidual muscle in her body as she charges towards you.
Roll for iniative.

The mare lights a cigarette on the main fireplace.
"I'm fine thank you. The guests have been keeping the kitchen staff busy."
>>19467
"It is not for a mere ranker such as you to know. Suffice to say we're not letting this information out to the public to avoid mass hysteria. Now, what did you find out about the fortress?"
>>19466
She knocks you face first into the sand, but you get back up before she strikes again.

"As I said before, the rats in there are mass producing weapons made out of that meteorite ore. There were hundreds of them working in one of the caverns we saw alone. They are using the sewers to move in and out of the complex and have a lot of explosives at hand. They also seemed to have some kind of mechanical creature at their disposal that used the meteorite as fuel."
I sit up proudly and beat one of my hooves against my chest.
"We actually managed to capture one of the smiths that worked in the armory there."

"Not you exactly, sugar, but the damn inquisitors, they can be so needy at times, acting like they own the place…and other adventurers, from the city, eating and partying like there's no tomorrow, never leaving even a dime in the collection boxes."
>>19477
"Why you insolent brat, I ough-"
The cook is interrupted by a younger sister galloping past.
She turns to you:
"Did you hear? They found a new monster to fight in the pit, want to have some fun while eating? Follow me!"
>>19478
"Hm, good, good. We'll still have to scout the place. You know the inquisitional code for prisoners. Now let us return to your party."
>>19474
As you try to overpower her, she headbutts your chest, causing you to struggle to maintain your balance.

You see Aurelia and Card Trick galloping off after the sister.
The lord inquisitor speaks to you:
"You may go if you wish."
>>19480
You slam into her with all your might, causing her hooves to dig into the sand floor. She'll take a while to recover.
+1 to your next action.
>>19482
>>19483
You arrive at the pit.
The sister looks disappointed.
"Oh, it's just another of the "vile" townsmen. How disappointing, I was hoping for an actual spawn for once."

"It's right next to the armory door. Just go through that door and past the champion changing rooms."
She points to a door in the direction of the large metal gate in the pit.
>>19495
You bring your hooves down on her back, but she doesn't budge. You know it must have hurt as she's muttering something under her breath.
>>19496
"That's the worst part about it."
>>19497
Lord inquisitor smiles.
"All the local banks are destroyed, there's no way to cash them in. Just give it to me, here's a pouch of 70 coins, courtesy of the inquisition."
He then trots off to the barracks.

"I believe your friend already reserved a large enough room for your whole party at the barracks."
>>19500
You miss as the nun rises her head.
She spouts some words in a foreign language which sends a blast of holy power from her body outwards.
You are thrown across the pit, a bit scarred. You quickly get up but your vision is a bit blurry.
>>19501
There are a lot of chainmails there, and all of them have either the image of a sun or the moon of them. Finding something fitting for the laughing god might take some time.

She stops you with a hammer.
"I assure you, we can provide you with any challenge you wish. And even if it is great, our patience with your kind is not unlimited. I'd watch your mouth around here if I were you."
The rest of the party meets up with Draven and everyone hits the hay at the barracks.

As you get out of your room a couple of nuns in their underwear rush past you.
In the courtyard you spot Martha, who looks at you worriedly.
"Apparently there's been an earthquake in the eastern part of town! Follow me to the battlements."
She then rushes to the stairs leading to the monastery walls.

"We wouldn't know of the safe zones…suffice to say they probably woke up to this too."
She takes out a copper spyglass from the folds of her robes and eyes the distance.
"Oh…oh dear. This is not good."
All you can see in the direction she's looking at is some gray smoke or dust.

You stumble and fall off the battlements into the gardens below head first, roll for damage.
>>23709
You quickly grab it and check the temple district and the safe zones.
The piers seem fine, though you can see the earthquake has exposed some of the ancient crypts and catacombs running below the temple district. You can see movement in the ruins, but there's something wrong with the ponies there.
>>23710
>>23705
You two start walking back to the barracks.

You're stuck on the ground until Aurelia >>23714 manages to levitate you to your feet.
>>23713
>>23715
As you walk down from the battlements the nuns have stopped running around.
They are gathered into small groups and are whispering to each other, while those who ran out of the barracks without their robes on look embarrassed.
Martha opens the large doors to the chapel and shouts to you:
"Bard and Inquisitor! The matriarch wishes to speak to you and your party!"

You walk through the feasting hall which is unsurprisingly empty right now. Only the tired looking cook is standing in the doorway to the kitchen. She's smoking a cigarette again.
Martha turns to Draven:
"If it's absolutely important, we have forges and smiths built in the rock this monastery is built on."
Then she speaks to the whole party:
"You may have breakfast when we get back from the meeting. I presume the matriarch will want you to recon the ruins."

>>23727
"We'll get to her soon, don't worry."
>>23725
"You should attend the briefing first, but if you must…"
She whistles, and an impressively sized mare trots into the hall.
"Helga, look after our guest. He wants to visit the forge."
The mare nods and begins leading you to stairs marked with a sign that reads "to the Rock".

Helga laughs out loud as she keeps leading Draven down the stairs.
Draven quickly learns the Rock is a maze, as Helga takes a left turn, right turn, down the stairs, left…left…right…left…or was it right? You're sure you couldn't make it out on your own anymore. The air is getting hotter the more you walk forwards.
Martha stifles a giggle as she leads the rest of the party up some stairs into a long hallway, in the end of which is a door made of some expensive looking wood.
"You may enter."

the Matriarch is sitting on her table with a cup of tea on her hooves. Before her is the Lord Inquisitor, also drinking tea.
The Matriarch turns to you:
"Ah, Finally!"
She takes a sip of her tea
"Sorry, I'm just a bit ann- tired. Sit down, have some tea and biscuits, and we'll get to business."
The Lord Inquisitor seems to be ignoring you.
>>23747
"Here"
She opens a door to a large balcony overlooking an hall. Down in the hall there are four large forges billowing smoke, and you can see dozens of ponies walking around.
"Not them, HERE."
To your left, on the balcony is a smaller forge.
There's a very muscular mare working on it. You can see the sweat in her coat as her robes are thrown to the ground
Helga shouts at her: "OLGA! Wear your robes, you know we have guests!"
The mare looks irritated. "I'd invite you to try and work here all day and wear those. Now whatcha need?"

"You may call me Bertha by the way…Where'd you leave that gorilla of yours?"
She shakes her head
"None of that is important now. You probably know of this already, but most of the old temple district has collapsed into the catacombs below. I need a group to search the ruins for holy artifacts, and to just recon the area. Would you be willing to do this? We can compensate you for your efforts."
She glances at the Lord Inquisitor nervously.
>>23774
She takes your shoulderpads and starts hammering at the bent spikes.
She's muttering to herself:
"Damn it, I should be down there making whips and hammers and armours for our sisters, not slaving for any idiot who happens to come across our monastery…they know I'm the best smith we have, I didn't cause the explosion!"
She hands the first shoulderpad to you. The spikes are considerably shorter, but pretty damn sharp.
"Gimme the other one!"

>>23783
"At least both the temples of the sun and the moon. I'm not sure of any others. You should check our archives before leaving."
>>23785
"The collapse seems to have originated from the temple of the sun. Not much more, the temple was located 'smack dab' in the middle of the district. Most of the roads are either rubble or just catacombs now. You'll have a hard time navigating. There"
>>23784
She throws a hammer at you and takes out a whetstone, sending sparks flying from the spikes of your shoulderpad.
"Interfering outsiders…"
Roll to dodge the hammer.

She then throws the shoulderpad into the fires of the forge as it starts to melt.
Helga quickly jumps towards her.
"Olga! What are you doing?!
>>23792
>>23793
"Undead? Oh, no, it's not very likely at all. Not at all."
She flashes an unconvincing smile.
"Now, uh, off with you, Holy Wrath will guide you to our library and archives. You may also use our armoury should you wish so. The priestesses will also probably gladly bless your weapons."
A familiar cleric steps inside the room.
"This way, if you please."

She quickly takes you to a large room filled with shelves which are packed full of scrolls and books.
"You may help yourselves, I am not unfortunately an archivist."
Roll for searching.
>>23807
Olga draws a whip. It's long and made of some sort of chain with barbs around it.
Before she has a chance to act however, Helga suppresses her.
"Stop it! Do you want to be thrown out of the monastery!?"
She then turns to you.
"Step outside, outsider. Now."
You can see the ponies in the floor below you have stopped and are now staring at what's happening.

The book seems to be centered around vampires and their minions.
In an section about vampires living in catacombs is an footnote.
Most of it seems to be torn off as you can hear a sound coming from a few shelves away.

After a few minutes your old shoulderpad is thrown out, seemingly hammered to it's old shape. The spikes are dull as ever though.

Thankfully it's not much, you're just gonna miss your next action.

He then jumps down, trying to land on Neith, as
>>23854
Aurelia's blast hits him straight on, sending him flying into a row of bookshelves, which come crashing down. Behind them, another three robed assassins were waiting, swords drawn.

As he turns to you, Card >>23858 hits him in the back of the head with a mace, sending him head first to the ground. He's helpless.
>>23859
You take a wide slash, almost cutting one of the cultist's heads open.
For now, an impressive scar will do.
>>23856
You arrive at the scene.
The cultist whom Aurelia neutralized whimpers.

Everyone gets +1 to their next rolls.
>>23862
You finish the helpless cultist off.
>>23864
"What an impressive miss, haven't seen one since cadet school!"
The Cultist laughs at you until…
>>23861
You rush at the cultist Neith wounded, driving your spear into his chest.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
The cultist who was thrown into the bookcases seems to be moving.
Everyone gets +1 to their next rolls.

>>23870
>>23874
"Not so…"
He inhales. An impressive feat considering Neith's sword has pierced his throat.
"…fast!"
One of his eyeballs pops out as his skin seems to start bubbling.
His back explodes as three spikes and four tentacles burst out from it, and his teeth extend into fangs and his skin rips as he gains more mass from his mutation.
You are now fighting a spawn.
>>23868
You slam the final cultist against a wall.

>>23879
You finish off the last cultist swiftly, and jump against the spawn.
>>23881
You only barely dodge the black mucus spewing out from the spawn's body. Some of it gets on your chainmail armour and it starts to corrode.
>>23883
Your song inspires the monster. The party just holds it's ears.
>>23885
You manage to cut halfway into one of the tentacles.

You chop off two tentacles and your axe ends up embedded into one of the spawn's bony spikes.
The creature screams in agony.
>>23889
+1 to everyone's next actions.
>>23890
You miss as the beast's head turns to you and it releases another burst of acid.
Roll to dodge.
>>23891
You hit it squarely on the chest, but the beast doesn't mind; it's like it doesn't have internal organs to crush anymore.

You barely dodge the splash as your robes get a few holes in them from the acid.
>>23896
The creature slashes at your banjo, snapping it in half.
You will also have a nice scar to show to the ladies in your chest now.
>>23897
You drive your spear through the creature's head, severing the eyeball that had popped off. The creature turns it's attention towards you now.
>>23898
You hack down at the creature, almost slicing it's body in half.
Acidic blood gushes out of the wound.
You severed two spikes off it's back too.

It binds both of your weapons with it's remaining tentacles and sends you flying through the air.
Roll for damage you'll suffer upon landing.
>>23911
As the creature screeches at you, you drive your spear through it's skull, cracking it open, smashing it's brains out and rendering the creature limb.
>>23912
You then cut it's neck for the sake of it.
You notice some of it's blood is on your axe's blade and your armour though.

You manage to stabilize yourself mid-air. An impressive feat.
>>23921
As you're about to hit the cold stone floor neck first, Aurelia >>23924 saves you with her telekinesis.
>>23922
You take a few pieces of paper and quickly rub most of it off.
"GODDESS!"
As you turn around you can see Martha at the door holding a hoof before her mouth. There's an passed out nun behind her.

It's dead Jim.
>>23931
"I…I was gonna bring archivist Scrolls to help you search information about the town catacombs when a sister rushed to us telling something about noises and combat…"
You can hear another scream as the mare behind Martha falls over unconscious again
"These were her personal archives."
>>23932
"I ought to give you a mop and a bucket and not let you go before this place is clean again."

>>23945
Another scream from behind Martha
"Take Scrolls away already, for Celestia's sake!"
Martha then turns to you
"This worries me…We need to find the breach in the chapel. You should go to the armoury to equip yourselves or to the feasting hall for breakfast, I'll try to find something that'll help you meanwhile from this mess."

>>23962
She looks at you.
"Something sweet huh."
She brings you a jug of milk and some sweet crackers.
>>23959
"Right, I just brewed a kettle of my own brew."
She brings you a huge cup of black coffee.
>>23960
She looks at you like you would look at a piece of bubblegum stuck on your shoe.
"Beer? Hon, we've got clear alcohol and wine. Which one will it be?"

As you sit there eating, Martha trots by.
"I have some maps here…"
>>23980
As you're about to drink the shot, Helga, the big mare who walked you to the forge walks up to you.
"By the divines, Cook gave YOU a bottle of that? You've gotta have a drinking contest with me…or are you too much of a foal to beat a mare?"
"I have some maps here…"

>>23996
Helga pours you both a shot and already drinks down hers.
"Whenever you're ready, miss."
>>23995
"Not much, really. They say the temple of the sun had something to slay even vampires and daemons with ease. Laughing Vampires? That's just silly."
>>23997
"Sounds like something that likes…laughing."
She points you to the shortest route through the temple district and back.
It would take your through where there was the temple of the laughing god once, some minor temples and the priest's living quarters.
"Once you get back, We can send more expeditions to cover the larger temples…"

"I think it'll be enough if you dip your weapon into a pool of her holy water."
>>24008
It's quite a bit stronger than you expected, a bit special, but you think you can handle it.
You need to start testing how drunk you'll get after 1 turn.
>>24012
"Just through that door and to the left, please consider leaving a donation in the box if you take anything."
She points to a door at the side of the feasting hall, opposite of the kitchen.

>>24017
>>24023
The armoury is lined with weapons and armour. If you search hard enough you think you could find anything there, even the specialty weapons of the nuns such as barbed steel whips and large blessed hammers. Besides the door sits the donation box, which is held by the statue of a very sad looking little foal.
>>24019
Yup, that's alcohol alright.
You feel sober as Helga downs her third drink and pours you another.
After this, all your rolls will affect your sobriety.

You can see victory float in your grasp in the form of a green fairy as Helga doesn't say anything, but drinks her fourth shot and gives you another.
"Cocky little boy."
>>24031
There's an abundance of all sorts of daggers as they are piled into the corners like piles of dust.
You search for a spear too, and soon find one, with a metal handle and even shinier and pointier silver head.
>>24033
You grab a dagger and a whip. The whip is long, made of polished stainless steel chain, and has wicked barbs along the length of it, save for the leather handle. It will tear flesh and give you +1 to iniative rolls when used at the start of combat. Mark this down.

You down the drink as your vision starts to blur.
Now it feels like there's an steam engine connected to the hammer hammering at your brain.
On the plus side Helga seems to have passed out with her eight drink in her hooves.
You rise up from your chair to announce you're the winner as-
Blackness.
The rest of the party can hear Helga gabble at a party of about dozen nuns in the next table who have been watching the game quite intently
"girlsh…"
They spring into action as they carry Draven's limb body out the meeting hall.
A nun explains to the party:
"Don't worry, we'll take care of your friend, he'll be returned good as new."
The rest of the party continues eating their breakfast as Draven wakes up to the sound of a cracking whip. He quickly learns he's tied to a bed as a familiar voice speaks to him:
"Not so tough now, are you, idiot?"

The party finishes eating their breakfast as Draven was carted off to the infirmary.
A nun explains to the party:
"We don't really drink that much here, we're just gonna check that he wasn't poisoned from the alcohol."
Martha trots in from the stairs leading to the Matriarch's room and walks up to the party.
"We have a visitor you might want to meet in the courtyard."

> Lectorus is a grizzled old donkey, bearded and wrinkled in the face, but sturdy and strong, armored and dressed simply, his coat and tabard emblazoned with the sun-crest of Celestia. At his side is slung a heavy prayer-book and a warhammer.
His voice resonates strongly as he speaks.
>>28524
"A welcome sight! Well-met, young filly. Well-met indeed!"
He reaches out to take her hoof in greeting, smiling.

>>28526
He raises an eyebrow at your comment, "…No. I am not."
>>28527
He stamps a hoof slightly, irritated. "My true weapon is the light of Our Lady's Sun, but this hammer has served me well, sir, and I would not trade it for any other weapon."

"Hm hm hm, the sun indeed is a glorious body. Like a radiant mother. If only we all could we so grossly incandescent.
The work of the holy is indeed never done, never, no never, not as long as evil remains in these lands and beyond. Say, that almost sounds like a song! Ha!"
Grab Neith and Lectorus
"How about it, then? A little rousing of spirits at the dawning light, yes?"
Hop onto my cane
"And a one and a two… Come on now!"

>>28538
"Considerate of you to worry for an old mule's well-being, but I've a few years left in me yet."
>>28535
He nods, resolute. "If it means keeping any of Her artifacts from the tainted clutches of these beasts, I would ask to accompany you."

"I fear my quest has thus far been a failure. Perhaps joy is simply not meant for so-"
I shake my head
"NO. I WILL NOT DESPAIR.
COME, FRIEND IN FRIVOLITY! THIS WORLD NEEDS OUR KIND!
And perhaps you can later tell me how you got that mace to glow like that."
Hurry back to the others, once again confident in my mission.

As the party departs you can see there's a good two block's way into the ruined temple district.
Unlike near the piers, there are no intact houses left near the monastery. The streets are lined with ruined houses, some two-storied, some even five stories high. There's a rather large graffiti of a star and words "death comes to all" on one wall.
You can hear some rattling and clanging in the distance.

As you get airborne you can hear a gunshot coming from one of the alleys not far ahead.
And another. And another. And another.
There's also smoke, as is appropriate for such antique guns.
>>28560
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.
>>28561
It's just a crude graffiti of an eight-pointed star with three circles inside.
>>28563
The sun comes out from behind the black clouds that seem to plague the skies of this city.

>>28575
You snap your wings to your sides as you dive, sword ready.
You make a sound similar to a Stuka diving against it's prey, but to your horror your wings don't unfold anymore.
For what seems like hours, the ground gets closer, closer, closer, and closer, until there's only black and cold.
You hit the pavement head first, and in addition to being unconscious and helpless, roll for other damage.
>>28582
>>28581
>>28585
As you cut the corner to the alleyway Neith landed in, you are met by a similar monstrosity as you met in the dark tunnels of the ratmen stronghold. The construct of flesh and bone turns towards you, but before it has a chance to act, a long burst of gunfire rips it's head and arms apart, making it fall just before it reaches Neith's body.
You can see a pony holding a multi-barreled rifle on one of the ruined buildings, and two others with him.
"Masters, intruders!"
Two pegasi land in front of you, both brandishing a pistol, with four more on their belts and straps.
This whole party is equipped with halfplate, gaudy clothes and helmets with feathers on them.

There seems to be no permanent damage, but you will automatically fail your next iniative roll due to the debilitating concussion.
>>28590
The other pegasus, a brown one, lowers his pistol, but the older, a white one, doesn't.
>>28592
>>28594
One of the ponies with the rifles jumps down from his vantage point, and the other two disappear.
He's an earth pony, and he is wearing a black jacket on his shoulders. His helmet has an emblem of a skull and crossed bones on his helmet.
"My name is Snap Shot, of the royal marksmen. We were hunting rats."
His shoulders wear the number 1, the Totenkopf hunters, an old earth pony regiment.
>>28595
Geez, that lamp post is pretty!

No, you don't need to re-roll
The construct doesn't have a head, and only one of it's hands is intact. In it's intact hand, it has a huge claw, which it uses to grab it's other arm, and swings it around in a large arc.
All the hunters dodge him easily.
>>28617
As do you. +1 to your next action.
>>28620
Before you have a chance to shoot, the arm swings your way, sending you crashing to the pavement.
>>28621
You spear the arm as it swings towards you, ripping it off the creature's hand.
>>28623
>>28629
Leaving you free to prepare for action.
+1 to your next roll
The captain turns around and disappears into one of the ruins, shouting commands to his troopers.
The two pistol-wielding pegasi take to the air and draw their pistols, while the two riflemen appear on the other side of the street.
Neith will wake up for the next turn.

No, you don't need to re-roll
The construct doesn't have a head, and only one of it's hands is intact. In it's intact hand, it has a huge claw, which it uses to grab it's other arm, and swings it around in a large arc.
All the hunters dodge him easily.
>>28617
As do you. +1 to your next action.
>>28620
Before you have a chance to shoot, the arm swings your way, sending you crashing to the pavement.
>>28621
You spear the arm as it swings towards you, ripping it off the creature's hand.
>>28623
>>28629
Leaving you free to prepare for action.
+1 to your next roll
The captain turns around and disappears into one of the ruins, shouting commands to his troopers.
The two pistol-wielding pegasi take to the air and draw their pistols, while the two riflemen appear on the other side of the street.
Neith will wake up for the next turn.
>>28635
You're not fast enough as the claw strikes at you, the knife-like nails leaving permanent scars on your body.
You're bleeding profusely.
>>28636
You take a swing at the arm, but the construct doesn't seem to mind.
>>28640
You dislocate the arm with your hammer, and easily dodge the creature's slashes.
>>28637
As the creature turns to you, you manage to rip off what remains of the arm.
"Fire at will!"
Another hail of bullets rips the body of the construct, this time leaving but the metal box that holds the crystal powering the monster, and some cables intact.
The ground is painted red with gore.
The captain talks to you from a ruin:
"Now if your friend is done playing around, might we ask what are you doing here?"

>>28642
You only barely manage to not make it worse.
>>28643
You don't see him flinch but he gives you a mean look.
"The priest of course! Who else?"
>>28645
You barely stand up.
One of the privates brings you your inquisitor's hat.
"Ma'am. You fell from the sky, ma'am."
>>28646
"Not as such but corporal Gun is trained in first-aid."
He whistles and one of the rifle-wielding soldiers jumps down from the ruins.

The private seems confused.
"Where'd I get this then?"
He spits the hat out and returns to his squadmates.
>>28652
Well the bleeding finally stopped.
>>28659
The corporals salute you.
Guns speaks up "Where'd you need a medic, sir?"
>>28657
Snap Shot spits on the ground.
"We should be going, we're not here for a holiday."

The medic walks up to Neith and checks her up.
"Eh, she'll live. Not much I can do except give some pills for the headach-"
>>28671
You heal everything that ails her.
Gun snorts "damn unicorns acting all high-and-mighty…"
>>28673
"This is Pinkie, I'm not home right now, please leave a message after the boop!"
You then feel something pushing you in the snout.
>>28674
The air seems serene.
Snap Shot turns to you "May we meet again, Paladin."
He then turns to his squad
"Vorwärts!"
The squad quickly disappears into the high ruins.

The party keeps galloping through the ruins, eventually coming to the edge of the temple district. The streets have indeed crumbled down into the crypts and catacombs, as you can see most hallways now have the remains of houses and temples in them.
A considerable piece of the underground labyrinth is intact, however, near the middle, where parts of the temple of the sun still stand.

You realize the ruins of the temple are still a good one or two kilometers away, and between you and the temple is rubble and meters upon meters of maze-like catacombs.
>>28689
You look straight into the sun and get blinded for three turns.
>>28692
There's movement around the edges of the labyrinth.
>>28693
Nothing.

The ghouls are all ponies, or used to be at least. Their manes have mostly fallen off and their coats have turned gray. Their hooves are chipped and dull, their teeth formed into fangs.
Two of them jump at the chance of fresh meat, clawing at Fourtune's face before he can get up.
The third one hisses at the party.
>>28733
You slice at one, spilling black blood from an open wound.
>>28734
You smash at it, reshaping it's skull.
>>28737
You drop your spear, stab yourself repeatedly with your silver dagger and jump down into the catacombs neck first.
You are helpless and in another part of the catacombs, separated of the party for now.
>>28743
You manage to land in the catacombs without injury.

Draven wakes up in the monastery infirmary. Though he has no headache, he can't remember anything that happened after breakfast.
A nurse trots up to him.
"Your friends already left for the temple quarter, you may still catch them if you hurry."
>>28754
The sword gets caught in the rubble in an odd angle, the force of the movement bending your hoof in an unnatural position. With a sickening crunch every bone in your hoof-joint breaks into a thousand splinters.
You may never use two-hoofed weapons again, and it will take you two turns to reload your pistol until you get proper medical care.
>>28756
You push the ghoul off Fourtunes, >>28758
who is ready to attack now.
>>28759
You bring your holy hammer down on the wicked beasts of the night, the white blast rending their flesh, the holy steel of which the hammer was wrought from shattering their bones, the aura of light eradicating the remains of their souls.
The ghouls cease to exist.
>>28765
The ground seems soft and warm as it's soaked in your own blood.
The ghouls in this hallway are no more, but you aren't sure where Aurelia landed in.

You remember Helga and Olga from the forge, and the whip.
The nurse brings you some aspirin.
>>28785
The cleric is in the next room, though there's no door from the hallway into there. You have to go through two rooms, the first of which is just an empty room before a larger tomb.

>>28795
The sun still illuminates this room, but the deeper you go the darker it gets.
You light a torch.
>>28801
You stop the bleeding.
There are two ways out of the room, you may choose either forwards or backwards. Only one will reunite you with the party-
>>28802
You pull Card with you to the room Neith is in as you completely lose your balance.
>>28806
"Just go through the gate that's open and follow the road until you see the catacombs. I wouldn't know about Helga, she works at the forges, I work here in the infirmary."

You swear you can see a figure in the shadows.
You can hear cackling from far away, too.
You're sure of it. Infernal cackling, mocking your belief!
The rest of the party does not hear or see this
>>28818
You are both in the room Aurelia is in, and there's a good half a meter of brick wall between you and the party.
so there's nothing to catch.
>>28821
As you giggle at Fourtunes and Card, you check the room before you.
There's an open casket in a stone table there, and a lot of dust.
The corners of the room are dark.
>>28822
"It's just down those stairs and then a left, right, left, left,down, right, up…"
She continues giving directions like this for a while until she sighs.
"There are signs on the walls, just follow them."
You arrive at the forge door.
>>28826
Neith is sitting in the corner, cradling her forehoof.
Otherwise, the room looks empty.

As you peek in the casket on the table, dozens of bats fly out and deeper into the catacombs.
The brass plate in the lid reads "To Trotheim - Von Vlad"
>>28842
The shadow in the corner moved!
You can hear more of that damned laughter, coming in from close by.
>>28838
You are met with giggling and a sound of whip cracking.
Olga has tears in her eyes from laughter.

"Shouldn't you get going to your friends before they decide to dump you for being useless?"
>>28875
Manic laughing fills your head again as your eyes dilate.
"Someone weak of faith might go mad down here, don't you agree?"
A familiar helmeted head appears from up above. It's corporal Gun.
"Uh, is everything alright down there? We heard some noise and a gunshot so the captain sent me to investigate."

You walk up to the courtyard, through the gates, down the street and quickly arrive in the ruined temple district. You can see Corporal Gun looking down into the ruins not far from you.
>>28897
Speaking of that. You hear some ominous sounds from the room behind you.
>>28895
Or was it the bad hoof? damn that hurts.

"Right."
Gun jumps down and inspects Neith's hoof.
"Oh damn, that's some serious damage…"
He opens his saddlebags and takes out some bandages and splints.
"Well, you can walk now, but I wouldn't use that hoof much if I was you."
>>28917
Either you jump down or try to balance on the walls, there are no ladders or stairs nearby.
>>28918
+1 to your next action.

Guns quickly steps out of the way and you bear the full force of the impact.
Which is not that much, your muscle can hold it.
>>28924
You cave the zombie's skull in, though it still stands.
>>28926
You hit them all, causing them to recoil, but you don't do any real damage to them.
>>28927
You slash at the nearest one, splitting it in half.
The Ghoul joins the zombies circling Aurelia.
Neith, Draven, and Lectorus can clearly hear the fight on the other side of the room.
Gun is the first to act: "Don't worry, they teach us these things in cadet school."
He then pulls out a considerably large explosive from his bag and sets it against the wall and lights the fuse.
"I'd run to the next room if I were you!"

You realize you left your spear up there when you jumped down in the catacombs in the first place.
So where the hell did this golden-handled, blessed silver warspear appear from? You thrust it through the skull of the zombie, sending it's brains on the walls.
>>28946
You sever his tendons as he falls on the ground, screaming in agony.
One of the zombies crumbles into dust.
>>28943
Gratefully no one hears you as the wall explodes, the shrapnel cutting small scars into your face.
>>28951
>>28949
>>28945
You got out of the harms way safely, seeing the remaining ghoul on the floor, and the zombie standing about, not sure what to do.

"Those who would defile that which is pure and good deserve punishment… but only in proportion to their crimes. An ill-thought word in the heat of a moment is not the same as a sword swung in battle, wouldn't you agree? Celestia is a firm ruler, but a forgiving and loving one as well. She would not see the destruction of one who could be redeemed."
