Having left Trotheim, the party is aboard a trading ship called "Siren's Luck". It's not a large vessel, but it's one of the few that still shuttles between Trotheim and the local ports.
The sun is just about to set, and you can smell the salty seawater in your nostrils.
There are even a few sun chairs on deck.
The captain, a burly and honest fellow, is pacing around on the upper deck, talking with the helmsman.
Most of the crew is currently down below, gambling and drinking.
Report in.

The captain speaks from the upper deck.
"We're dropping you all off at New Hoofen. We'll be there by sunrise."
>>224791
The captain is speaking quickly and in whispers with the helmsman. The first mate seems to be drunk below decks.
The crew is mostly either doing their duty or singing Fifteen Men.
A monkey is playing a flute.

EVERYTHING is bolted down
Even the rum kegs and copper tankards

>>224801
You see a shark following the ship.
A few of the crew members are drunkenly brawling.
>>224803
You throw a few streamers and confetti around.
A surly looken sailor immediately starts scrubbing the deck clean, causing you to trip over your own hooves when trying to dance.
>>224811
there's a small goat lying head first in a puddle of soap water, drunk sailors, a diamond dog wearing a hood… the possibilities are endless!
>>224816
The captain's quarters, which are currently locked. Or the blackpowder storage, which is also locked.
>>224800
Burn them
Burn the whole ship and I will grant you my favours

>>224877
You're sure the whole crew is full of changelings.
The captain, the first mate, the helmsman…it all makes sense to you now!
>>224898
Most of them seem to be up on the deck.
>>224908
The first mate seems to have made it up to the deck, though he's barely conscious at this point.
He wraps his hoof around your neck and tries to give you a smile.
"I'll 'heal' yer 'ailments' if ya know what I mean!"
The lookout suddenly screams: "SHIP AHOY!"
The captain almost jumps overboard.
"What flag?!"
"No flag! They're headed for us!"

You almost burst into treats, but settle on just rolling on the floor a bit, while guffawing so hard some of the crew thinks there's a whale on the water.
>>224927
You have seawater.
>>224929
The captain swipes the sweat off his brow.
"The crew knows! I pray to Celestia the crew knows…"
>>224934
You carry the goat up with you.
The other ships looks to be larger than your vessel; it's armed to the teeth with cannons while yours has measly four.
>>224943
You're sure the pegasus mare cussing and swearing at everyone is evil to the bone.
>>224930
You push the first mate so hard, he falls and drops a key down below.
The lookout suddenly climbs down from his basket.
"PIRATES!"

>>224955
The ship is far in the horizon, you hit nothing.
It starts slowly turning to face it's side to your ship.
The captain loudly exclaims "EVERYPONY FOR THEMSELVES!" and jumps in the only lifeboat.
Ali also doesn't throw Buttermilk overboard.
>>224958
Everyone lost their skills.
>>224959
>>224954
You both are so ready you could slice cannonballs mid-air.
>>224961
>>224962
Again, the ship is far away from yourrs.
You're brought a mug of rum, but fail to impress anyone by speaking with your mouth full.
>>224965
No. They are not.
The pirate ships starts firing, though the first volley lands rather short.
The drunken crew is trying to get themselves into order.
"Wheresh the key to the -hic- gunpowder?"
"The firsht mathe hash it!"
"Shhit, guys, I think I losht it when that mare pushed me!"
A second volley is fired.
You can hear whistling and wood cracking as the balls shred the mast of your ship.

Yes he is. And everyone on the ship is staring at you like you're a raving lunatic.
>>224997
[DC8]
>>224990
You quickly go to the crew's deck. The floor is filled with clutter from the crew's party.
It also doesn't help some of the crew are rushing to ready the cannons.
>>224999
…
>>225002
You miss. The ball hits the captain's quarters.
>>225003
You put Buttermilk down rather gently considering the circumstances. You're faced with the same problem as Neith.
>>225005
THEY ARE ALL CHANGELINGS! EVIL CHANGELINGS!
EVIL CHANGELING PIRATES!
"C'mon, get a hatchet! We need those cannons!"

>>225026
They will be in boarding distance in 2 turns.
You inspire the crew to find a hatchet and open the blackpowder storage. The crew hurriedly starts loading the cannons.
>>225020
The volley whistles past you, hitting the aft of the ship.
>>225022
You spin the wheel, turning your ship so none of your cannons can fire at the pirates.
Though without sails, you're not moving very fast.
>>225035
The cannons are on fire.
"What the bloody hell are you doing, lady?!"
>>225036
You find it! Just in time to fuck they already opened the storage!
>>225039
You do just that.
>>225044
You see another volley fired, hitting the front of the ship. It shreds the planks and you can hear agonized screams from down below.
The pirate ships starts circling to your side since you're all but immobile.

They will never see it coming.
Cannons are for faggots anyway.
"SOMEONE GRAB THIS WHEEL AND RAM THOSE FOOLS! GET ME CLOSER! I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD!
THAT SHIP WILL BE OURS WITHIN THE HOUR!"
Lets get to the tip of that thingy at the bow to be first in line on the assault.
"ONWARDS! TO BLOOD AND GLORY!"
Inspire
'1d10+2'
Roll #1 1 + 2 = 3

>>225059
I know.
The wooden things that hold them up.
Anyway, you completely wasted the shot since your sides weren't aligned with the pirates at all.
>>225060
The pirates keep on firing. This time they hit the cannon deck, disabling on of your starboard guns and killing it's crew.
Curiously, you can't see their boarding crew on deck at all.
Or anyone for that matter.
>>225068
"FECK YA PARTNER!"
The helmsman brings the ship around, aligning the remaining starboard cannon against them.
The fire is unsurprisingly rather ineffective.
>>225069
You're not THAT strong.
>>225073
There are half a dozen injured crewmen in the crew deck.
You start treating them, you'll be done after the next turn.
>>225079
There seems to be no one on the other ship to shoot.
>>225080
You see them fire another shot.
It hits the waterline.
They're going for your black powder and ammunition!
>>225083
Another shot ripples the ship.
"FIRE BELOW DECK!"

>>225097
Maybe if you had wings.
>>225095
You take to the air but immediately get shot down by shrapnel wrecking your body.
You fall to the deck, helpless.
>>225096
You hold your hoofing.
>>225098
You get some water, but just as you reach the deck another volley hits the lowest deck.
>>225102
>>225103
The powder and ammunition ignites, causing an internal explosion.
The whole ship shakes and buckles as it's torn apart from the inside, spewing wood and metal everywhere.
Needless to say, the party is thrown to the water.
Most you can see are waves that seem taller than houses, and the pirate ship turning away.
You're quickly engulfed in darkness…

You wake up in the beach.
It's dark, and overcast.
Water slams against your body, and you can't find your belongings.
All around you pieces of wood and crates are being washed ashore.
You're all washed on a kilometer long strip, more or less conscious.
>>225133
>>225132
>>225130
>>225127
>>225134
You're all just fine, up and about. Maybe you should look for survivors (each other) or items in the wreckage. Currently you only have what you were wearing on you.
>>225125
>>225123
You two aren't so well off. roll again to stay conscious.

It's pretty heavy. Maybe it went down with the ship.
>>225291
It's a crate of crackers!
They're all wet and soggy.
One of the presumed-dead crew members whimpers on the ground.
>>225301
Anything that you were wearing except your weapons.
>>225304
Better give the both of them a burial at sea.
You set Buttermilk's clothes on fire.
It's also enough to wake her up.
>>225308
Yes.
You have your clothes, daggers and tits with you.
>>225321
The sound of a goat swimming for it's life is enough to bring you back to consciousness.

You can't stop looking at the dog.
>>225343
You can get more in the next town
Good night
>>225351
It's quite impossible to not put a fire out while rolling in the sea, but you chug a good amount of water.
>>225345
YOU MAKE IT TO THE SHORE
>>225347
You shoot a bolt of lightning from your horn and electrocute the sailor, leaving him a twitching mess on the beach.
No.

Your mace sunk. You're with the party on the beach where you washed up with crates, debris and possibly dead sailors.
>>225360
Oh gosh, Ali sure has got some great stonking tits
you'd just love to bury your face in them and…
>>225364
You're paralyzed as you can't help your tongue lolling out of your mouth and copious amounts of precuddle on your forehead and flanks.

No.

You find your violin.
It's shattered against some rocks.
>>225388
There are some swords on the beach.
Some are mangled but some would be usable.
>>225389
You're no longer leaking pre-cuddle.
You can hear a celestial voice in your head.
Love and Tolerance, My little pony
>>225394
As you pick up the body you can smell the scent of an excited mare on the air.

"Have you ever considered the problem may be that it is you who are the insufferable, tiresome and insecure waste of breath here? For one who so grandly claims to be the holiest and most worthy here, I've yet to see you do more than blush and bathe and poorly deny your feelings towards others you-"
>>225488
"-A town? Hm. Sounds good. Anything beats the beach."

You decide to walk behind Neith.
It distracts you somewhat.
You arrive near the town.
It's got walls, a city hall and not much else to say.
A small trading port.
You enter a gate.
There's a town greeter there.
He's glassy-eyed and speaks in a monotonous, deadpan voice.
"Welcome to New Hoofen how may I help you?"

>>225549
You walk to the town square. The mayor's office is right in front of you. It's a round, tall building.

You can see a form waving in the darkness
"SOMEONE OPEN THE DAMN WINDOWS!"

You enter the waiting room. It's rather dark with heavy red drapes covering the windows.
A pony is sitting behind a desk there.
"Survivors? My condolences for what happened, we've never had pirates before. The mayor is in the next room. He should be free to meet."
The secretary points at large double doors in front of you.

The stallion staring into nothingness is clearly old. He has a stubble and from the smell you can deduce he doesn't particularly care for personal hygiene.
He's wearing a gaudy outfit with the city's seal on it to signify his position.
On his face is a similar glassed look as the town greeter's.
He speaks in a raspy voice.
"Hello. How may I help you?"

"Follow the coast to east. You may also want to visit the temple on the northern hills."
It is full of smoke.
The smith is running around inside.
"IS THERE SOMEONE THERE?! OPEN THE DAMN WINDOW!"
>>226725
His ear flicks with the airflow but otherwise he still doesn't react to you.

>>226756
You're sure he is really an apple masquerading as a pony.
>>226757
You're surprised to find the secretary is no longer on her seat.
You can't see her as a matter of fact.
>>226744
You run and hit the front door to the mayor's office. It's locked tight.
The rest of the party is in the room too, as the doors to the mayor's room swing shut too.
You're trapped in the waiting room with the drapes.
>>226747
Well, except for you. You open the window and after a while the smoke clears out, revealing a rather black, bearded earth pony stallion.
"Goshdarnhayseed!"
He throws a pair of tongs to the ground.
"Thank yah, stranger. How may I help ya'll?"

You remember the greeter telling the others to visit the mayor.
>>242222
you manage to jab at the pony jumping over you, but all you hit is his black robe.
>>242225
You get ready (+1 to your next action) as you see four black-robed ponies jump out from behind the curtains.
They are all holding wicked daggers and one, larger than the others has a crooked smile on his face.
At least you think that's his face, it reminds you of those rubber masks fillies wear on Nightmare night.

The door seems to be locked and barred with a plank.
>>242240
He's a misunderstood orphan who just wants a hug. You are 100% sure of that. Must be why he sunk his dagger into your chest.
>>242247
"Ooh, lookie, the big one can make a noise!"
One of the ponies throws a black sphere on the ground that explodes in a black cloud of smoke.
"I can make some too!"
-1 to everyone's actions next turn
>>242250
You rush the nearest one, and stab him in the leg.

You hit one of the underlings, who falls and draws down one set of curtains, revealing sunlight and two more assassins.
>>242261
[DC9] to affect the leader of the group
He twists the knife in your chest before taking it out and throwing you away.
"Embrace your doom!"
>>242267
You miss by a bit and the pony jumps to the side.
There are 5 assassins in the room, including the big one.
>>242263
You hear the lock click.

You ram against the door.
It's surprisingly sturdy and you fall on your ass.
>>242295
You rush against him, only to have a hoof shoved on your face.
>>242288
It does not seem to help. Peculiar dark spots are starting to form on his coat…
>>242283
You grab him, but his surprisingly heavy.
[DC7] to throw him. You can lover it to [DC6] with improvise.

He's just a member of the town watch, come to see the disturbance

>>242336
Nope, nothing
>>242325
One of the robed ponies jumps the big one, stabbing at him a few times.
>>242333
Well, that seems to be enough of a distraction for him.
You shove him against a wall and then jump him, causing the both of you to fly through a window and into the streets, sending some rather scared townsfolk running.
>>242324
You push him away from you, though he comes right back with his dagger.
[DC5] to counter
>>242321
There is no sand on the town hall floor.
One of the ponies rushes and headbutts you.
"Lay down and die!"

No
He barely gets up on his hooves before you smash him in the nearest wall.
>>242350
You heal her up to full strenght.
>>242348
he's the leader of this group of assassins sent here to kill a nosy inquisitor and her entourage by a cult of worshippers from a cursed city where you just came from.
>>242349
He brings both his front hooves down on you before you have a chance to move.
You're helpless.
>>242354
He stabs you in the side and leaves the daggers there while he conjures up a ball of flame from his horn.
[DC8] to dodge
There are 4 ponies left, including the big one.

>>242372
You manage to kick the pony away and into the other pony, which sends him stumbling.
>>242378
You masterfully dodge under the ball of fire and push the assassin into the receptionist's desk. He doesn't move, but there's still a crooked dagger on your side.
>>242377
He impressively pushes you off him and presses you against the ground instead.
"I am death, your doom!"
He stabs you with a needle, which paralyzes your body.
3+ only
>>242380
You jump the big pony, but soon notice he's armoured under all those robes, which makes your dinky daggers feel rather inadequate.
3 ponies left, including the big one.

Pinkie guides Aurelia's spear as she easily throws the large pony easily double her size off you and into the pavement.
>>242434
Both the smaller ponies pounce on their ex-leader and smash him into a pulp with gusto.
After this they stand around doing nothing.
One of them drools a bit and the others coos to himself.
>>242435
>>242431
You two only end up bumping into each other.
All of the ponies are dead or pacified and the townsfolk are starting to gather around to see what the heck just happened.
"Did they just murder those ponies?"
"What happened to the mayor?"
"Where are the guards?"

"I wasn't even… what the hell! That wasn't what I was thinking about at all!"
I groan.

"My group walked in here to talk to the mayor after the ship we were on was fucking attacked by pirates, and somehow got locked and boarded in and attacked. I came by later and saw myself. The door was fucking boarded up and locked."
