"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."
>>524851
"Just find him please…."
>>524852
Not too long.
Skip ahead?
>>524853
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.

You get to the ring.
Before you enter Cracked stops you.
"Before you enter, there's one thing we haven't discussed before. What's going to be your alias?"
>>524865
You see Warren and Soil talking to an unknown mare.
Inferni must be upstairs.
>>524866
"Thank you, thank you so much…that means the world to me. I just want him to be safe."
>>524867
She looks to you.
"You're part of his group as well?"
>>524869
"Well, I didn't live there all my life, I came from a small town called Brasswood. It's near Tall Tale, to the north."
>>524872
"They had plundered a village of ponies. Their warlord, Greywing, was an evil griffon. He needed to be stopped."

>>524884
He walks away.
Soon you hear him announce
"Ladies and gentlecolts. As the final fight of tonight, it is my honor to present our new upcoming fighter. She smashes heads just as easily as she rocks the floor, the LEGENDARY ROCK'N ROLL"
Cue entrance.
>>524885
As you walk in, you see Inferni toying with a pink pony plush, as soon as he sees you, he throws it away and assumes a dignified pose.
>>524886
>>524888
>>524892
"It was my turn to ask again? I heard talk around town that you are hunting a mighty dragon?"
>>524893
"Mardi Grass."
>>524895
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."
He walks away.

5 nice Zip Zap Apples.
"Well ah'd love to meet her too. Here are the apples. Come by anytime, Miss Shortcake. I'd love to taste yer cooking sometime."
>>524899
He looks away.
>>524900
>>524901
"How big was it?"
>>524902
"Does it, where are you from, miss Light Heart?"
>>524905
"And as her opponent. He eats oats for breakfast, dinner and supper. He squats more than the entire Equestrian air force combined. give it up for BULKBERG!"
A white strong pegasus shows up.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH"
>>524906
You get out and go to the final part, nice relaxing by a pool.
In the pool sits Tullip.
"Oh hey there!" she waves.

"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."

"Can't a mare be a little curious? Amongst fellow bounty hunters? There was an entire party for you. That raises some eyebrows."
She takes a sip from her drink.
>>524915
"Ah…never heard of it."
>>524917
Like a dignified pony you take a seat on one of the benches first.
"Oh I've been here for 3 hours already, trying to get calm."
She shows her drenched hoof.
"Oh, but I just can't get relaxed, I must have lost my mojo!"

>>524931
Just to be sure you know.
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."
>>524934
You start it off rough.
"Amazing, Rock'n Roll is rolling over Bulkberg, who would have thought?"
>>524933
"I mean my…uh…look it's a term for shezazz, savoir-faire, you know?"
>>524932
He shrugs as you hold the pink pony.
>>524929
"I was just curious. We wouldn't dare go after this dragon."
>>524935
Roll to find.

>>524943
"Yes…like that."
>>524944
"I've talked to many ponies here."
She gets up.
"I see you are busy, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
>>524941
He seems a bit too slow compared to you.
But he takes your punches, it will take more to take him down.
>>524939
It's getting darker and eyes peek from the Forest.
You might want to hurry up cutie.
>>524938
He looks pleading.
>>524947
"Look, the point is, even after 3 hours here I can't relax!"
"Yes…like that."

"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."

Not too crowded.

"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'."

"That might end up happening. But you'll need something special to do that, I think."
>>524976
"Now, Soil, don't get too excited. And keep this quiet."
Well, I should be fine… Pull one of those dragon teeth out and put it on the table.
>>524977
"If they were just decorations, then he shouldn't have minded ponies taking a look. That alone is suspicious."

>>524989
"I was thinking of letting you have this one, Soil. There's more where it came from, but I'd need to research a few things before I can gather them with any sort of speed."
>>524990
I'll raise an eyebrow at that.
"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."

Ms Cake is closing down as you arrive.
"Ah, you found it?"
>>524979
Nope he swoops it right from you and gets it back up the closet, out of your reach.
Standing over it protectively.
>>524981
You enter the Colloseum Club.
It is dark and smoky.
Melody is fighting a large white stallion.
>>524984
As he poses for the crowd, you swipe him right off his hooves.
"AMAZING FOLKS! SHE'S ROCK AND ROLLING HIM"
>>524987
"Maybe I'm just not cut out for all this….I'm not strong like you, or smart like Iris."

"You can do it under an hour, if we do a practice tonight. Come on in ad I'll show you how!"
>>524997
There's a pony with shades on a couch, surrounded by 2 mares.
He looks like the go to pony.
>>524998
How about a sideswipe to YOUR FACE instead?
1/5
>>524999

There's something awfully familiar about his face…
"Well, then you've come to the right place. Right after this fight, you can prove yourself."
>>525009
Ms Cake shows you the ropes.
Roll for baking. You get a +4, for Cake helping you.
>>525010
Iris chimes in.
"Of course we do Tullip. You're important to us all."
She sniffles. "T-thank you, both of you."
She hugs Amber.
>>525006
After a few seconds he swoops down, without the doll.
>>525004
"It is. I wish Amber was here though, she would be great help."

Run my hoof over the top of his head to pet him, like I was smoothing his feathers.
"When I said it was cute, I meant it and not as an insult. It shows me that you care about more things that you let the outside know, and it is beautiful. It doesn't make you less noble, Inferni, quite the contrary. It makes you even more regal, to have a heart pure and big as that."

Nope.

It is kinda an awkward hug and you drop into the pool as well.
Tullip giggles.
>>525019
He blushes a bit.
>>525017
Step, by step
Layer by layer,
You finish up a delicious looking, divinely smelling, perfect Zip Zap Pie.
Ms Cake looks in astonishment.
"My goodness, Shortcake, I don't think I ever baked a pie like that in all my years! You're a real talent."
While you'll have to bake the pie again for the emissaries tomorrow, this 14 will pass that automatically.
>>525018
He is pretty big.
"Sure. Even more spectacle."
>>525020
"She went to shop for dresses with Iris."

Melody is getting smashed pretty badly.
>>525026
"Iris said it was mares only…and she's very persuasive."
>>525027
"Just a tiny slice maybe? It does look so delicious."
>>525028
After some thinking he flies up and drops a small squeeky pink pony in your hoof.

Melody turns her head to see where that loud voice comes from and Bulkberg finishes it off with a right hook to her unprotected face.
The fight is over.
Bulkberg won.
Melody wakes up a bit later in her dressing room.
"You're up next. Dragon dude" shouts Cracked.
Time to enter the arena Soil.
>>525032
"Waaaah, I yield, I yield!" she laughs.

She has been dragged off. You don't know.
Another fighter steps into the ring.
"Since our new challenger has some help in the form of a dragon, our fighter will be accompanied by…."
A wolf jumps out next to the fighter.
LET'S GO.
>>525039
"…..pretty long."
>>525040
He nods.

>>525047
She lays back.
"Aaah, I feel much more relaxed already. Did you like the spa?"
>>525048
He nods.
>>525049
"It was somepony in the audience. I couldn't really see who."

>>526087
You hit him right and the belly and send him flying across the arena.
The crowd cheers. You've won!
You see cracked skull near the employee entrance to the Arena beckoning you.
>>526088
"Well I should make sure I'm clean by then shouldn't I?"
>>526089
Seems like they're already in overtime.
One last fighter has just won and you see a pony with a blue cap and moustache starting to close the place down.
She looks up.

>>526095
You were also looking for Amber? And she was last seen in the dress shop. Or would you rather look for that shack?
>>526097
He scratches his head and then walks through the corridor towards the Arena.
>>526093
He eats the berries and then jumps on your back.
>>526091
She ponders this for a minute.
"But it would at least have been good for a day right?"
>>526094
"Well done son. You might have what it takes to make it here. Want a job?"

You miss, you don't have the keys!
>>526100
"It's about 3 more fights and getting paid for it!"
>>526102
He nods again.
They don't seem to be in the inn.
>>526104
The inn is locked tight. Time for your lockpicks…
>>526106
"Eh….mmm I should be looking for a new tent as well….I can't do that while I'm here."

"I like that enthusiasm. But we're closing for tonight, son. I can sign you up for another fight first thing tomorrow, as soon as you sign this little paper here."
He hoofs you a contract.
>>526111
Yaay, you got it girl!
>>526112
You'd need to know what a "valid permit" looks like first.
>>526113
"I think there's going to be a shop somewhere around here. Magic shop. Well at least I hope so, this village seems terribly….rural."
Iris frows her brows.
>>526114
The one you can most easily meet is LH…

>>526123
loads and loads of large words.
"release form"
"The Colloseum Club guarantees first aid for wounds but does not take responsibility for crippling or fatal injuries."
"…has to do 3 fight, in agreement with the owner"
"sum of 40 bits per fight" are just some of them.
Nothing about selling your soul here.
>>526121
Sure you have.
>>526122
Your wits fail you.
Somepony walks around and you quickly hide away.
You're going to have to go sanic.
>>526124
"Isn't it? I hope they've got one of those Bags of Holding, I've been dying to get one."
>>526125
You pass the local spa. You also see that mare Warren and Soil was talking to earlier in the distance.
She's talking to a cloaked stallion.

"What kind of noble family are you from? I've got a business to run here. With the economy what it is, I can't just give everypony a royal fee. I've got foals to feed!"
>>526128
Maybe they've noticed you, but by the time you get in hearing distance they stop talking and trot off.
>>526129
You get in and quickly close the door behind you.
There are some posters of scantily dressed mares on the wall. The desk is a mess full of papers, some bags of money and ash of cigars everywhere.
There's a king sized bed with a mirror on the ceiling and a safe next to it.
>>526130
You see Mabel in town with her pet phoenix.
It's getting darker, everything is closing down. Ponies are going to get a bite to eat or a little drink.
>>526131
"A bag of Holding. It's a very special bag. It can hold anything

"Yeah, but that's a whole lot more dangerous than this. Look son, I like ya, so how about 50 bits, but that's my final offer!"
>>526136
Somepony is at the door.
Roll to hide!
>>526137
Roll to do that stealthily.
>>526138
Let's timeskip until a time it is.
Don't forget you have a dinner to go to! You should be there soon.

>>526141
You jump under the bed.
The 2 mares you saw earlier with Cracked trot in, talking.
"…and that's how you get your mane straight."
'Oh I see…ugh, Cracked's place is always such a mess."
"All except the bed~"
"Luckily."
They giggle.
>>526143
"Oh don't worry about that. We'll manage. So I'll get the paperwork done, see ya tomorrow Soil. Oh and before I forget, what's going to be your alias?"
>>526144
They trot out of town, towards the Everfree forest. Follow them further?
>>526146
"No it looks, like a normal bag, but it's enchanted to hold everything. And you can carry it like a normal bag, no matter what's inside."

Sure.
>>526158
"Time to get ready for the boss"
"Oh boy, let's hope he's in a better mood tonight than yesterday…" she sighs.
They both trot into a bathroom.
The coast is clear if you hurry.
>>526159
"They're very rare, I've been looking for one for ages now."
>>526161
"It's another name to use when in the ring. For example, when Bulk Biceps fights he's BULKBERG! because it sounds cooler.
You understand me?"
>>526162
You don't get to be too stealthy now.
You hear growling in the nearby bushes.
You're reminded of the horrible tales of the Everfree Forest.
Sure.

"The Mad Dunker…sounds good. I like it."
>>526168
There are green evil eyes lurking in the darkness.
Timberwolves, but they're not attacking just yet.
The mare and the cloaked stallion settle at a small camp in a clearing in the Everfree Forest.
The stallion trots further into the forest alone.
>>526169
You don't hear shit cap'n.
Perhaps only the janitor. But he might be asleep already.
>>526170
You yoink out while the conversation turns to contraceptives.
You're outside again, not much wiser.
It is getting dark…
>>526173
"Oh I hope so."
She gets out.
"Ah…well I think I'll call it a day."

The Arena looks empty.
>>526177
"Tomorrow morning! Right at sunrise."
>>526178
They retreat to the shadows, but they keep watching you.
>>526181
Many ponoes here enjoying a drink.
You notice a crystal pony of your group, Star is here as well.
Reading quietly in a corner.
>>526183
She stretches.
"Oh my…what time is it? We might as well go out again. I'm ready to go."

No he left to the north.
The mare seems to be cooking some kind of stew.
>>526186
You hear a noise from the janitors room.
He seems to be reading something out loud.
A book about Daring do.
>>526187
When you arrive in the inn, Amber, Tullip and Iris arrive as well.
Iris looks very…pretty.
Silver taps your shoulder.
"Looks like they went to the spa…be sure to give a compliment!"
>>526188
Soil, Iris, Tullip and Amber arrive as well.
Star looks up shocked.
"Oh….oh hello miss Heart, sorry I was lost in my books here for a minute."
She giggles nervously.
>>526189
You're back at the inn.
Soil, LH and Silver Blood are there as well.
Silver Blood trots to you.
"Well now, you three look…simply amazing!"

Very simple, there is a small tent and a fire.
The mare is cooking some stew and occasionally tasting it.
After a while the stallion comes back.
>>526201
She shows you the cover.
Treatise on the Missing God.
A new perspective on the Mythic Age.
>>526203
"Must have been. You spent a long time there."
>>526205
She trots up trying to do a seductive pose '1d10'
Roll #1 3 = 3

"Somewhat…"
She shows a light shining crystal with runes on it.
"I've been investigating the meaning behind these runes. And my studies have gone all the way back to the time the Gods walked Equestria and lived on Mount Laurenia (Mountain where Canterlot is now)"
>>526227
He sits down silently and takes off his cloak.
He looks a tiny bit like a crystal pony, but where Amber is shiny, he is dark. His green mane hangs lifelessly, seemingly absorbing the light around it. His eyes are dark. He wears a crystal armor not unlike the armor Amber wears, but the color has disappeared from the crystals and are now just a sickly green. He has a crystal greathammer.
He sniffs the stew. "Smells good." he says emotionlessly.
>>526228
You open it.
The Champions room is a bit larger than yours.
There's a closet and a shower. Also some pics of Blackhoof winning prizes.
>>526230
"Eh…I'd rather not."
>>526233
She giggles.
"Soil…not in public!" she says playfully

>>526237
The mare nods. "Will you take over? I need to go as well."
She disappears while the stallion keeps watch over the stew.
>>526238
You open up the closet and find a number of pills and herbs.
They're unmarked however.
If only you had a freeeen who knew more about herbs.
>>526239
They're very elegant and curvy, but you've never seen them before.
"I think they're Lemarian, which would indicate they're at least 5000 years old, if not more."
>>526240
He shakes his head.
"It's not manly!"
>>526241
She does a full 360 to give you a good look.
"You know…" she whispers.
"You might have a better view if you saw it in your room~"

Roll for perception.
>>526248
Maybe some old stories.
They're supposedly from the ancient empire of Lemaria. An ancient civilization that had astonishing technological wonders and knowledge but destroyed itself in a civil war and conveniently left almost no trace of its existence.
Most consider it a fabrication, though many mages and some religious factions believe it once existed.
"In a place called Silverhaze Falls. We travelled there some time ago."
>>526249
You take another look through and find a note from Doctor Sand, telling the next shipment is ready.
>>526250
"Hmmm, something like that~"
>>526252
"Of course not…I just have…other things to do…like training!"

"Yeah, my dad was a geomancer in the Empire and I don't think even he ever saw anything like it…"
A drunk stallion waggles over to your table and grabs your shoulder.
"H-hey cutie~ Wannah dansche?"
>>526255
"Oh and order maybe bottle of wine Soil? I'll be waiting upstairs." Wink.
>>526256
"Well if I feel tired I just take a nap, no mud needed." He grins.
>>526257
He seems to be.
You also realize now that it can't be an official version since Daring Do is doing some quite explicit things with one of Ahuizotls henches."
>>526258
You hear a twig crack behind you and turn around to see the mare.
"..are you spying on us?" Her eyes narrow menacingly.

The stallion now trots up from the other side as well.
"This far into the forest? I find that hard to believe" He says emotionlessly.
>>526263
He holds his nose in the air.
"Smell what? I smell mostly booze."
>>526265
"Well….and I'll keep having naps."
Boops your nose.
Hey that mare LH you met earlier seems to be having a bit of trouble with a drunk stallion.
>>526266
>>526267
Fighters only.
The other is maintenance with the janitor.
And another door leading to a staircase to the bar.
>>526268
He grabs your shoulder again but a bit firmer.
"Oooh come on shweetie, one lil dance, don't be like that.."

The stallion takes one step closer.
"Well then…in that case I suppose we have no choice but to…." he pauses for a second "..let you walk your pet."
The mare gives him a weird look.
"Uh…you sure about that?"
He nods.
"Definitely. Come on, jenny, it's almost dark, you don't want to be late back in Ponyville."
The stallion takes one step closer.

"Oh, we can handle ourselves. And we love Nature as well."
>>526286
>>526288
Room 121 of course!
>>526289
Seems like he's already taken care of by a stern talk from LH.
>>526290
"Sure."
He goes in.
Soon enough you hear the janitor stop reading aloud.
"Brr. I should turn on the boiler a bit."
You hear him walking around.
"Pfff, helps nothing, maybe I should just go to bed before I get sick."
10 minutes later you hear him snoring.

The room is dark and lit by candles.
There's a bucket with a bottle of champagne besides the bed.
On the bed lays a beautiful white mare with long flowing pink mane. She wears pink socks and pink panties.
She has a red rose in her mouth but as she turns around and sees you she looks suprised and drops it…
>>526307
"Oh we would love to."
They sit back near the campfire.
The mare puts some stew in 3 bowls.
"Ah, ah, Mardi you forget the most importent ingredient."
Out of a knapsack, the stallion gets a few black pungent leaves. He crumbles them and throws them into the stew and gives you a bowl.
"Bon appetit" he says with a grin.
>>526308
"Oh…of course. Why I bet I'll win even!"
>>526309
It's very peaceful here.
You see Daisy and Rose sitting near a window.

"Excuse me, sir, this was for you."
>>526314
"Not at all, Miss Heart." You get a spot right next to Rose.
>>526315
Oregano, some vegetables, but you can't place that one leaf….it makes your spine tingle however.
Both ponies start eating.
>>526316
"I haven't practiced unarmed in quite a while."
>>526318
He sighs.
"Well, this is my own room…but ah suppose since you ask so kindly. Let me just take something personal as well."
He takes a little box from a cupboard and the Daring Do book.
"I assure you, it isn't there, lady."
He trots outside.
PAUSE
A stallion walks to the room with a bottle of wine.
"Excuse me, sir, this was for you."
>>526314
"Not at all, Miss Heart." You get a spot right next to Rose.
>>526315
Oregano, some vegetables, but you can't place that one leaf….it makes your spine tingle however.
Both ponies start eating.
>>526316
"I haven't practiced unarmed in quite a while."
>>526318
He sighs.
"Well, this is my own room…but ah suppose since you ask so kindly. Let me just take something personal as well."
He takes a little box from a cupboard and the Daring Do book.
"I assure you, it isn't there, lady."
He trots outside.
PAUSE
>>526320
The servant points to a room further down the hall.
Room 131, how could you forget that?
>>526321
"Neither do I."
Intense staredown '1d10'
>>526322
You taste….oregano, carrots, a bit of salad, some thyme, some sage…and a little taste you can't quite identify, but it's almost nauseating.
The other 2 seem to eat it just fine.
"Do you like it?"
>>526323
"We always come to get a little drink after the shift is done. You should try some of the Apple Acres Reserve. You won't find too much of that outside Ponyville."

He looks confused and knocks at the door to take a look at this safety hazard.
As you knock, you hear Iris' voice "Come in~"
>>526327
The mare and the stallion exchange a look of understanding and chuckle at some kind of inside joke.
The mare turns to you.
"Nothing much, some oregano, thyme, sage, lavender and Kronox Weed."
The last one is unfamiliar to you.
>>526328
"Both in the flower business. Not that there's much business these days."
>>526331
The staredown is not that intense.
More an awkward exchange of glances and unsaid words.
Time to go outside.
>>526332
The room is not that spacey.
There is a closet, a small table and a chair close by the ventilating shaft. The bed is right next to the boiler.
You find all kinds of dirty clothes and a few clean ones, one of those new camera things, a book with recipes, a calendar with tomorrow marked, tools.

The camera is empty.
You remember the little box the janitor took with him. It looked small enough to hold some pictures now that you think about it.
>ventilation
A long dark shaft. There's a grate in front of it. Upon closer inspection, you see it has been removed earlier. But you'd need tools to open it properly.
>>526337
He takes them off as well.
"I won't back down!"
Roll for initiative '1d10'
>>526337
Iris is laying on the bed with her dress on. She winks. "Did you bring the wine?"
>>526343
"Kronox Weed, never heard of it? It's quite popular where I come from."
Another chuckle.
>>526344
"We both have our own big garden…I suppose that's a bit of a plantantation…a mini-plantation." she giggles.

>>526357
"Roses, daisies, but these days you need more to keep afloat. I try to grow as many flowers as possible. Sometimes we even go pick some wild flowers in the Everfree Forest."
>>526358

Left uppercut '1d10'
>>526359
He seems to be whistling and reading his book.
"You found it, miss?"
>>526360
Was it?
"Oh…I was waiting for you~"
She gets up and pushes you on the bed. She trots in front of yo, next to the bed.
And then turns so you can watch her in profile. Her butt and tail are somewhat accentuated.

She nods. "Yes. To the north."

>>526372
"Some flowers in the Everfree only grow there…they're quite valuable, but hard to find. I tried to grow some of them, but the seeds don't want to open outside the Everfree. That's why we call them wild."

The Cathedral is always open.
You enter.
At the end is stained glass mural of the 2 sisters defeating Discord.
There are more, depicting the legendary Grand Crusade of the Sisters, around the Cathedral.

You block his strike and both struggle in a headlock to gain the upper hoof.
This is getting quite contact intensive.
>>526397
As you lean in for the kiss, you hear a weird sound and the bedplanks crack, you tumble behind you on the mattress on the ground.
You both look astonished for a few seconds and then Iris begins to laugh.
"Oh Celestia, how does this happen?"
You also spilled a lot of wine everywhere.
>>526398
The mare speaks up.
"HEY, wait…"
She gets up and slowly walks towards you.
>>526400
"Well…allright, since you asked so nicely, old Scrubbing will wait here."

It's opened.

"If you do, you should do it with some friends. It's a dangerous place. I wouldn't dare go there at night."
>>526424
"No apologies needed. An understandable question, but faith in the Sisters has always been important in Ponyville. On clear days you can see Canterlot in the distance. We practically live in the Sisters' shadows so many ponies keep coming here."

She goes to sit by the fire again.

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."

She thinks about it "It sounds familiar but I'm not quite sure where I've heard it before…I should check some of my books. Would you like to wait?"

She giggles. "I didn't know it could get this messy~"
>>526576
You read up on Astral Projection.
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.
As a footnote it mentioned that souls that succumb to the pull can never return to their physical bodies, only Priests of Grogar have learned the ancient arts how to do that.
>>526577
She nods and overlooks her books.
"It reminded me of a very old legend. About Grogar, you know who Grogar is?"
In Griffon mythology he is the Horned Judge. Lord of the Dead. He earned his title by fighting alongside the Griffon hero Jormag against a great evil. Jormag then became the guardian of Falhallen, the afterlife of heroes."
>>526578
"Where are you going?"
>>526582
"Well remember that dummy I was fighting against when you first met me? You laughed at me, but I told you technique was important!"
He hits you on the shoulder playfully.

Here, Grogar is the Lord of the Dead, he judges the dead according to what they've done in life and brings them to their rightful place in the afterlife."

"Before Grogar, the first Lord of the Underworld was Kronox, a vile and evil god, who ruled the underworld with an iron hoof, and brought misery and pain on the surface world.
But Grogar, together with Luna and Celestia fought against him and imprisoned him deep within Tartarus.
It was a long and bloody conflict and I believe that prayer originated from that period. For protection against Kronox."

"You said it yourself, he used that Labyrinth so we could do deliveries for him. I even told Soil to let you all know I was taking off."
"Still, I'm glad you thought I was capable of going to Hyperborea and back by myself. I'll make sure to put that strength to use for you."

"A thing or two… Mister Thunderlane was the last fighter to have disappeared and it is known that before he did, he was often nervous and complained headaches.

I show her the samples I took.
"And knowing fighting rings like these, Cracked Skull probably is in with Blackhoof. Either prays on his delusions of grandeur or cuts him a deal, I don't know which yet. There's also more, but I need to investigate further."
"And this does remind me…
HEY! MABEL! Come over here!"
I wave to her and gesture her over.

"One of the fighters also informed me that mister Skull sometimes disappears into thin air without anypony knowing where to.

The locals tell me mister Skull came into town about a month ago, pulling a large cart with unknown contents inside it. He did not allow anypony to see said contents, claiming them to be 'decorations'. He also has a place outside of the colosseum where he keeps all his administrative work. Lastly, mister Thunderlane's marefriend informed me that the janitor gave him, and I quote, 'The creeps'."

He also had a camera with him, but I didn't get any of the photos he had. He kept those with him. But given that all he took from the room when I asked to 'find something I lost' in it was that and his book, I'm inclined to believe that it's just more wankbait too."

And fuck no. Even possession of Super N shit is like, a year's sentence. But I'm not calling the guard on this shithead. That's only going to complicate things."

"Our next move, assuming we get the evidence, is to find where he's kept the three ponies who have disappeared. One group can go to rescue them, assuming they're still alive, and the other can organize the guards into a raid force."
"If you feel comfortable playing the distraction that way…"
I'll grimace a little.

"Snacks see's, Snack didnt know such pony magic existed… perhaps it is even evil magic dont you think?"
I grabbed the axe and toy with it a bit before smiling and putting it back in my holster before showing him the doge crossbow that I got in the vault.
"How about this? What does Anvil pony think of it?"

I break out laughing.
"Oh Shorty… when I said Bon Bon is Lyra's 'partner' I meant she's her partner."

"Lots of books are based on real events. I should know."
Try not to flashback to reading all those books on tactics as a child. '1d10'
"Who knows, maybe we'll be the next big seller."
>>527846
"Well, I'll definitely offer one for still having all my tail feathers and another for having met you all."
Roll #1 2 = 2

Take a looong, long sip.
Then put the teacup down and look at him with quite the serious expression, arching a brow.
"Okay. Why are you doing this again?"
>>527850
"Who'd ever read something 'bout a bunch of noponies hunting dangerous monsters and becoming friends and having fun and learning all about life?"
Scoff off.

"Because there have been fighters going missing from the arena, and their families are concerned. We're going in there to find out why they're disappearing, and where they're going."
I'll scratch my chin a bit.
"And the other fighters might be taking drugs to improve their fighting abilities, which is illegal. So we're looking for evidence about that, too."

They look at each other. Bon-Bon coughs
"Well…we've lately had trouble with our new supplier. The old one died in monster attack. He's been asking really high rates for some of the things I need to make our candy. We tried to negotiate better rates…but that pig wanted to…" she glances at Lyra.
"We refused and now I can only barely afford to make candy. We can't sell this for higher prices you know. The kids love it."
>>527840
"Let me tell you something, brother. Every weapon thirsts for blood, that's what a weapon was made for. Putting a spell on it to make it taste blood is not evil in my eyes. It's knowing a weapon."
He looks at the doge crossbow.
"Good, sturdy, will serve you well brother."
>>527846
He nods.
"Yes…but there's something…don't you feel it, there's an evil presence somewhere in this town."
>>527850
Flashback time.
>>527872
I told you, you recognized his face.
You said "I know what that is."
So I thought it was obvious. Yes, he's the Enforcer.

I nod at this before showing Anvil the diamond dog armor.
"Can Anvil shape this armor into any shape or sizes? It is an old and ancient armor that Snacks has found under a very very old vault. Snack found two and Snacks plan to donate one to a museum while lending this one to a friend of mine."

"In the middle of some big event, it wouldn't be unusual to hire a little extra help. But mostly, in case anything happens, pretend to be part of the crowd and we can probably get away if anything happens."

"Le's avoid using extreme force. It'll be more costly if they have others who will seek revenge for them. If we can get them tossed into prison, folks who'd avenge them are likely to let them rot their for their own stupidity."

"Honestly, the words started to blur together. It was important, it would help me now, but after three hours in the midday sun, I just couldn't focus anymore. No one there could, and this is that I was aiming to be the top student. And then the teachers made us all run around the school because we were starting to get lulled to sleep by the lecture. I can feel the heat and the dry air leave my beak chapped and where is the tea, I know I brought tea, there should be something to drink around here something big please I'm parched."
Get something to drink.

"Small happinesses are usually the best ones, from my experience, but every pony has their own way of making them happen. You perform, Amber protects ponies so that they can live peacefully, and I… well, I try to stay out of the way. Make the world a bit safer with this Monster Hunting business."
