"My name is Mardi Grass. I've wandered Equestria for a long time cleaning the filth of Equestria, bandits, necromancers… When I met my comrade, we just made a great team."
She thinks.
"I think the biggest thing I ever fought was a horde griffons in the north."

You find him in the inn talking to a mare you haven't seen before. She's pink with a blond mane and wears red markings in paint on her face.
>>524854
"I'm sure they'll be thrilled!"
The mud bath gives way for a refreshing bath, with flowers drifting on the water.

Yes.
To your question about the Arena, Applejack responded.
"We learned a lot there. It prepared us for many, many struggles to come."
>>524889
"Very peaceful. Most of the ponies there were farmers. Lovely folk, but they couldn't read a book to save their lives. I moved to Tall Tale to become a researcher."

"Enough to bring down a small mountain as it escaped. Thus our trip to Canterlot, since at this point we're woefully unprepared."
I'll think a moment.
"Now, as it seems you and Soil seemed to have a question exchange worked out, I believe we get two questions now. The first, I must ask, is why you want to know. And the second is what you plan to do now that you do."

Like a dignified pony you take a seat on one of the benches first.

She's pink with a blond mane and wears red markings in paint on her face.
"We've heard talk of an artefact nearby in the Everfree. So we're asking the local ponies if they know anything about it."

But he takes your punches, it will take more to take him down.

"Some of its fighters have gone mysteriously missing and I am working on finding out why. The owner of the colosseum feigns ignorance, but I strongly believe he is involved in some way. These fighters who disappeared obviously found something out they were not supposed to and were then disposed of. Something pertaining the current champion of the arena, Blackhoof."
I smile genuinely.
"Such exciting intrigue, it brings flutters to my heart."

"Indeed. Now mind you, there are some other matters ya'll should know. From what I hear, some of the fighters experienced headaches, loss of strength and feelings of dizziness during their time working in the arena. I was also told that mister Skull has a tendency to disappear in thin air at times, with nopony being the wiser as to where he went. He arrived here but a month ago, setting up this arena and making profit from the lack of other work and entertainment in this village due to the ursa blockade. Lastly, he was transporting something inside his cart that nopony was allowed to see when he first arrived here, claiming it to be 'decorations'."

"Well, it never hurts to have another pony in the mix, especially if she's on our side. If they make it all the way to the finals and end up against each other, that just makes the plan work even better."

"Yes, I don't know where it came from, I just felt compelled to do it. Our local priest said that Celestia and Luna had a plan for me and that I should follow it.
As for my duties, that depends. Every day on dawn I and my colleague must give proper reverence to Celestia and at dusk to Luna. I guard the Cathedral overnight and guide any followers of Luna with their troubles. I also perform special rites during certain astrological alignments and interpret the stars to divine Luna's designs. My colleague concerns herself with Celestia and her special teachings."

The book states it is possible through deep concentration and focus to temporarily separate your soul from its physical body without dying.
It talks about dangers inherent and how through concentration and focus one can resist the dreaded pull of the Underworld exerted on all souls.
