LAST TIME:
The party headed to Cloud Bed inn after seeing a job notice. There they were shown a tightly locked chest that is nigh-impossible to pickpocket normally and is warded against simple spells. Boasting Force tried forcing the chest open with his cannon, but only managed to make a hole on the floor.
The innkeeper's wife picks up the undamaged chest from the floor and brings it back to the reception desk, looking suspiciouly at the tumor-like bump under beneath the carpet.
The innkeeper coughs while opening a window to clear out the smoke, letting in some extra sunlight, "where was I…? Oh, yes. The town's locksmith might know of a way to open it…"
He eyes around slightly nervous.

You grab random villager by the sleeve and give him a good shake.
"Hey, watch it! No need to shake! But yeah, Creeking Breech is the town's locksmith and you can find his shop near in the market square."
With that, the pony shakes himself loose and quickly hurries ahead down the alley, away from you.

After a short walk, the party reaches the market square. It's not terribly large, but there still are several stands and ponies buying and selling all kind of merchandise. In the middle of the square is a sundial.
Several resident houses, shops and the town hall surround the area. Busy day for a town this small.

The colt rise on all four (shaky) legs and goes to inspect the chest.
"Wow, this is chest is antique, probably like 50 years old something."
>>284883
The colt stops his inspection, clear his throat. "Ma'am, I really can't see the chest, if you keep sitting on it."
Now that's better grumbling.

"It's quite a mechanism", he says while looking inside the lock with a small lens.
"Are these magical runes inside?" he sounds almost excited, while removing the lens and looking at you. "Way beyond my skills I'm 'fraid."
He sighs and looks back to the chest.
"My master headed to the Corn Family farm a this morning. A broken barn door or sumthin'. You may have passed it on your way to this town."

"Don't know. He's probably emptying the cider cellar with Pop Corn, which means he won't be back until tomorrow. You can of course drag him back to town. His wife would LOVE to hear he's been drinking again."
>>284918
"Take the West gate an' go through the forest. There are several road signs, you can't get lost." He shrugs. "Probably."

You stand at the West gate. Calling it a gate might be a stretch however as the town has no real walls. There's just a small guard checkpoint, and from there the road continues towards the forest. There is more traffic since this gate heads towards the continent.
Some wagons lay parked before warehouses while ponies unload and load them.

A guard heads his towards you and opens his mouth, but suddenly stops, yawns and goes back to whatever he was doing, which is leaning towards chekpoint's wall.

The bored guard nods and points towards the forest.
"Yeah. Traffic comes and goes, but trouble does not. Somepony tries to smuggle something every now and then but it's quiet most of the time."

The soil shake a little, then a hoof pops out. A skeletal hoof.
Then the creature quickly pulls itself out of the ground shaking of the dirt. The mindless skeletal pony just stares towards you. You notice the bone structure is first class. Light but tough.
Your master would be proud.

Nothing near the forest border.

With a mighty crashing sounds a tree fall in front of you. Blocking your way.
From the falling leaves appears a huge boar, with massive tusks. Threetusk is the beast's name.
It charges towards Boasting Force.

Several chickens lay dead and one of your guns has jammed. The fighting continues, but due to the foliage, you can't see probably.

While your cutting technique is lacking finesse, the barely conscious boar is no challenge and you cut it's throat open and blood begins flowing freely.
>>285356
For some reason your cannonball causes the gas inside the boar's intestines explode. The boar detonates and gibs start flying everywhere.
>>285360
You may call ponies landlubbers, but at least they can walk steadily. You trip on your own legs and fall on your nose.
>>285368
The boar is only a smoldering crater and skeleton halts. You zap the nearest chicken and it drops instantly dead.
The boar is dead and all remaining chickens flee fast. Soon silence reigns again.
