You're on the second floor of an inn, looking out over the dining hall, it's empty save for one zebra slowly chewing on a piece of salad.
Inferni flies and rests on the table next to him.

You buy some clothes, armor and a rapier.

Let him chill there. He'll probably show off too, knowing him.
Look at the bandits.
"Now pay very close attention.
I'm giving you this one chance to get your lives back on track. You are going to tell me where everything you stole or took is. After that, you are going to give yourselves up, so you can have a try at a normal life later. Take a constructive part of being an Equestrian instead of ruining the lives of other ponies. I promise me you will be happier once you realize how wrong you were to be bandits."
Close my eyes and take a deep breath.
"Otherwise, if I learn you just return to stealing, terrorizing others and being villains…"

They also taught me that while being showing something to spur the imagination is not neccesarily bad, impressing using actual talents leaves a much deeper impact.
Let's just sit down at an empty table and look the people who are in here over.

You notice he doesn't play many cards, but plays a slow and steady game. Unlike the high bids and losses other sometimes take, he slowly but surely increases his stacks through small wins over the half hour

He focuses and then breaths out a torrent of fire from his mouth, melting a huge hole in the glass.

"Do you?"
Snicker, then shake my head.
"So… it would be easier if you held the rope and let me down, right?"

You climb down and set hoof on the cold ground. There's a cage quite close to you.

Quite sturdy, made of the same black steel most of the stuff here seems made of.
All kinds of wires come out of it.
The lightning elemental seems very still as if it is in a dormant state.

You don't see any opening.
It seems the cages were built around the elementals.
You feel the power running through the wires, sapping the elementals.
Perhaps if you could cut them without hurting yourself, they could be free on their own.
Or if you could provide the elementals themselves with some extra energy to wake up.

I don't think simply cutting these wires is a very good idea.
I could try to throw the parrying dagger into the wires where they enter the wall…

It's easy.
Your dagger slices the wire but the shock disintegrates it on the spot. (you get a new one free by next adventure)
There seems to be some life in the elemental.He's moving again…slowly.

Move closer to the cage.
"Take your time… although you have been imprisoned here long enough. You and your kin should be free now."

The creature normally shines like lightning, hundreds of lightning bolts moving at, well, lightning speed, warped together forming a pony figure.
Now what should have been bolts looks more like wire…stale and barely moving.
The figure looks to you but you see no spark in its eyes.

Not good enough… There must be something else!
Search for something else! There must be something holding it back!

As you walk around, you notice your daggers feel heavier than usual, as if something is pulling them subtly to the ground.

Hmmm…
A what do you call it… magnet, that's it!
There must be one of those around!
Keep walking around with a dagger out, to see where the pull is strongest!

You remember that magnetism is a water-elemental based forced in the universe.
You figure the abundance of magnetism, thus water-energy, is pacifying the elementals in the room.
You feel around until you're certain you're above the floor tile that attracts the strongest.

Easily.
It's a hatch.
You see a large black box, once again with wires attached, it hums quietly.

He seems to get some spark back…
They slowly slide through the bars of the cages and float to you.

This is somewhat… nice.
Observe what else will they do.
"Is this all of you? I don't want to leave until I know that none of you are prisoners any longer."

Suddenly they all unload lightning at once.
You feel…Strangely weightless, and are vaguely aware of things passing at enormous speed. Suddenly Adeen is here too…and before you can even registers you're back a donkey and in an alley in Vilitus City.
Most of the lightning elementals fly as lightning into the sky.
One nods at you before disappearing as well.

Adeen shakes himself
"Indeed…I've only done that once before.
Remember that feeling, it will help you should you ever seek to master lightning…
Now we must move before the Changelings get here to find out who has been shooting lightning in the sky."

Roll for how well it goes. You may add a DEX or STR modifier.

It was a heavy battle, but you won.
The friendly captain is KO, but you meet a griffon who likes your style.
He's going home to Hyperborea and you can hitch on and drop off at Equestria.

He doesn't talk to you.
But you see a vision in your meditations, once again urging you to go to the volcano in Hyperborea, but you don't see yourself going alone. Soil and the others will be with you.
Then you see one more vision. A sign of an inn at night, with Canterlot Palace in the background. Canterlot!

So I could go straight to Hyperborea… but the Canterlot vision proves that I might need to meet up with the others in the capital!
It's been too long since I last saw them!
