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.

The wooden door leads directly to the shrine. There are multiple rows of benches and a simple speaker's booth at the end instead of a regular altar.
There's a door to a smaller side room next to the booth.
No one seems to be around.
>>255960
Nope. Nothing. Looking over the sea, you can only see fog.

"I-I'm Pelia!"
>>255988
"What damages?!"
She turns around and sees the metal frame of the now-gone window and her lower lip starts to tremble.
"O-oh no…"
>>255992
"I'm just a- an apprentice…the preacher is sleeping downstairs. He's so old and weary he has to take a nap each afternoon."
>>255991
Maybe you should consider facing south.
It's not a shame, I confuse "south is down and north is up" all time too.

"I'm really, really sorry. We can go now if you want. Just write down your name, the preacher's name, whatever the name of this temple is, and we'll see that money gets back here so you can have this fixed."
Pinkie? Can you do anything to make this better? Maybe fix the window or cheer Neith up or something?
'1d10' for praying.
Roll #1 7 = 7

No not literally down you shouldn't dig a hole in the hallowed ground oh shit!
You fell down into an underground room.
"WHAT MANNER OF DEMONS COME FOR ME EVEN ON MY RETIREMENT?!"
>>256009
She smiles a little at your one-goat band.
>>256010
"No-no it was probably not your fault… I mean… did you hear something?"
Her ear twitches a bit.
Just for you - I'll send someone to look on it
>>256011
"What happened? Well I was down making food for my master and myself and then I heard a horrible scream - like someone stabbed a pig - and then I come up here and-"
>>256012
"What cult? And you should learn some manners."
She blinks a few time.
"The preachers is a he - and he shouldn't be waken up yet. He'll be really mad if you try."

She nods at you.
"Well I'll tell you what I can."
>>256028
You turn your head just to look down a Blunderbuss barrel.
"ANSWER ME, DEMON, OR I WILL SEND YOU BACK TO TIREK WHERE YOU BELONG!"
>>256029
"I…sure hope Uriah doesn't see her."
>>256031
"I…he's just downstairs. We only have one room for ourselves and are you sure you didn't hear something?"
Her ear twitches again.
She nods at you.

"huh? It does that sometimes when master screams at me. I could have swore it was him…"
>>256043
"Uriah is the preacher. He's a bit grumpy in his old age. "
>>256053
She seeks to do good in all things, and to help anypony in need.
Neutral Good
>>256041
"Wait for me!"
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.
>>256042
"ONLY DEMONS COULD INVADE MY SANCTUARY FROM THE ROCK ITSELF!"
He backs slowly, searching for something behind him with a hoof.

Pelia rushes past you and quickly wrenches the gun from the old pony's hooves.
"Didn't I tell you to get rid of this old thing?! At best it will blow up in your hooves!"
She sighs.
"We have visitors."
The old pony turns around. You can see one of his eyes is blinded, he has a long grey beard and no mane.
"I am Uriah. The people of this port call me the Preacher."

Pelia walks to you
"Yeah we have, for the festivals and other festivities we arrange here."
>>256121
She shakes her head.
"No, only the preacher's booth and a graveyard. Uriah doesn't believe in shrines and offerings."
>>256122
Uriah gets excited.
"I knew it! I knew it but no one believed me! Yes!"

>>256137
"I knew it! The signs are everywhere! Wilting flowers midsummer, birds returning in flocks at hearthswarming eve! Black robes wandering the plains and hills! They are out to corrupt everything that is holy and pure!"
Pelia puts a hoof on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I think he had a drink before sleep again."
>>256133
"I'm sorry, Uriah probably wouldn't lend a bucket to the fire department if the whole town was in flames."

"She's an Inquisitor. There's more to it, but she would not appreciate me sharing it. What I can say is that she is a nice pony once you get past her shell."
"I already told you. Pinkie Pie is sending someone by to fix the window and we will send back some money to help pay for any costs."

"Bah. What good have they ever done?"
>>256158
>>256160
She shrugs.
>>256165
>>256161
"What should I? You should be glad I'm not making you pay for the damages to my dwelling. Besides with a personality like that it's a wonder a blessed weapon wouldn't burn your hoof off…"
He scratches his chin.
"Well there is something my little temple needed help with. I've seen shadowy figures around the graveyard at night. I could swear some graves have been turned over."

"Good. Good."
>>256173
"Is this your first adventure outside the city walls, colt? Why don't you have a weapon!?"
Pelia sighs.
"Master should go back to bed now."
She turns back to you.
"One of you can take the blunderbuss. Technically it should still work… oh and there's this."
She hoofs you a short, chipped blade.
"You will get your prize."

It's old and rusty. The stock is splintery.
Thankfully the mechanism seems to mostly work.
>>256216
It's still afternoon.
>>256219
>>256215
You head out and sure as the sky is blue, you see a small statue on the next hill. Upon getting there you can see some shovels scattered about. There's also a small hovel in the yard, probably for some of the previous higher-ups of the town.
>>256222
Inspiring. Very inspiring. Not even Neith can hate such perfect music.

the door is thrown in your face as you smash against it, revealing a familiar mass of flesh and stench. It's a spawn quite like the one you met in Trotheim, This one has a great spike at the end of one arm, and a horrible claw on it's other. Festering boils dot it's skin as it screams at you.
Roll iniative, though Neith already lost it. You have to roll to get up.

You can't affect the mind of something that has none.
>>263319
You quickly jump in on it's back, stabbing repeatedly at the decaying flesh. The monster trashes about, shaking you off.
>>263318
You miss critically, and the creature throws you against a grave as you lunge at it.
>>263322
You barely get on your hooves.
>>263317
Plus one to everyone's actions next turn.
>>263327
You stab at the monster with a dagger, causing it to ooze black blood.
The monster stammers a bit before screaming to the coming night. It is answered by a call of a horn somewhere in the distance.

The creature swipes your blow away with it's spear-like hand.
>>263341
Who could fail when they are inspired?
>>263344
>>263346
You both assault it, giving the spawn no time to recuperate until >>263340 chops it's arms off.
It stumbles to the ground and lets out a gurgling sound. Suddenly it explodes in a shower of black gore and burning acid. Roll to dodge, -1 to Card, Fall and Neith for being too close.

>>263391
You roll into a thorny bush but >>263394
Fall Harvest pulls you out and throws a bucket of rainwater on you, cleaning off the most. Your fur is really damaged though.
>>263395
You walk right into the shack and fall about 5 meters into a hole.
You think you broke something…
>>263397
…and you follow.
>>263398
Yeah. There's a hole on the ground where the tomb is supposed to be. On the side there is a table with all manner of alchemical ingredients on it, along with some knives and other blades.
>>263396
That didn't really help, you just rubbed some moisturizing lotion on her skin.

No. Nothing.
That kind of grounded something must be pretty common for embalming, so you think you'll just smell it a bit…and inhale a lot.
This is some bad trip…The cosmic whale wants to speak to you. Says you cut him out of some deal.
>>263484
You do like Card did and surely as the sky is rainbow, you are a bird.
The walls shrink away as you fly, fly through the air. And Card Trick is there too.
To others it looks like you just fell asleep.
>>263482
Nothing. It's starting to get dark. The sun is just shining it's last rays on the fields and hills.
>>263487
you hit your head on the ceiling while flying.

The cat looks at you, looking amused. He opens the door to the cradle and you sit down at the poker table.
An orange sloth throws you a cup of coffee as the whale, wearing a bowler cap slaps you in the face.
"WHERE'S THE MONEY, VITO?!"
>>263509
You wake up to the kick by Neith.
>>263504
It looks like you can see a torch for a while, but then it disappears.
>>263510
Yeah, what? You can't. It seems his heart might have stopped.

'1d10'
>>263533
I growl and get back inside, closing the door behind me.
"To hell with this, we're waiting until nightfall. Everyone stay the hell quiet."
Cover that hole with some planks or something that will keep us from falling in 'r2 1d10'

A frying pan flies and hits Card in the back of his head, really knocking the wind out of it.
"SEE?! HUH?! I KNOW YOU AND THAT KNUCKLEHEAD FRIEND O' YOURS ROBBED MY PLACE!"
>>263545
No.
>>263547
You find some planks and put them on the hole.

"ANSWER ME! WHERE IS MY FUC- oh wait."
A very cute phone pole walks up to you.
"There's a call here for you, mr. V."
As you pick up the receiver she's offering you can hear Aurelia's words.
>>263572
You pound on his chest and give him a Frenchie.
Card Trick gets the sensation of being pulled away.
+4 to waking up
>>263562
This is Pinkie's answering machine, I'm out at a party right now but call me back in a few hours…
