Last time on Grimdark cuntquest
The troublemakers were let out of prison with one day to leave the town.
You are now on the central plaza of the city.
Neith got her sword back from the smith and got a bandage for the cut she got on her hoof.

You head out of the town through he south gate, passing some rather relieved -looking guards.
Now what did the mayor tell you about the army camp?
It's beyond the southern hills, and you should be able to see it from the temple hill.
As you climb to the temple you can see it's not very large, and that it has a glass painting of Celestia and the sun facing the city.

There's a door to a smaller side room next to the booth.

The party heads downstairs into a small room with stone walls and a simple fireplace. There are two separate beds, bookshelves and some chairs. The most notable item is a sun banner hung on the wall. And Ali with a rather old and bearded pony in one corner, next to a mound of dirt.

"Didn't I tell you to get rid of this old thing?! At best it will blow up in your hooves!"
