Indy nods.
"Where do we start?"
>>532966
>>532964
You arrive at the golden oak library.
The librarian sits at the desk, writing papers.
>>532975
You…see a light in the distance.
Pico
Still at the church, but the nuns agreed you may leave if you promise not to get into dangerous situations for a couple of days.
You cannot fly until further notice.
Shortcake
That was a good meal.
But what is all this ruckus in the middle of town?

>>535349
You remember LH mentioned his home.
>>535348
Miss cake looks up.
"Oh dear, perhaps we should take a look."
She gets up.
"If there's really a monster, we would need help from your friends."
>>535352
>>535353
"Fifth shelf on the first floor. Unless you mean religious ones, then it's on the second floor, third shelf."

>>535359
You sneak through the crowd, you see a giant crater. On the bottom lies the remains of a charred big pony. The guards are investigating it.
You see Mabel, LH and Warren leave towards the library.
You see Amber and Soil walking in another direction.
Near the partially demolished arena club you see Star crying and clutching on to the body of a pony….Melody!
>>535356
>>535362
You ask the guards.
You find his shack at the edge of town, the door is locked.
>>535363
>>535360
"You should look under religious then. G for Grogar." she mutters without looking up.
>>535358
You're in the library.
>>535378
It's eerily quiet.
You do hear the faint sounds of drums in the distance.

Drums…
Are those the spirits that Mwa always talked about? They might know something…
Or they might just be an ass to me like they were to him. W/e I'm gonna go ask them anyways. Closest thing to a lead I have here.
I try to head over to where I hear the drums coming from.

>>535391
As you get closer, you realize she's covered in blood. And that she's not moving.
If you'd get real close you'd see that the right part of her face has been severely burned.
Star looks up, sniffling. "S-shortcake..I'm..I'm so s-s-s-sorry…"
>>535386
You find a book on necromancy in general.
"Beware the Dark Arts."
>>535387
>>535393
You find a book called "Grogar: a biography"
>>535388
You look over a large clearing filled with dark wooden huts. One large hut sits in the middle.
Before it burns a large fire. Many zebras in masks dance and sing around it, moving wild bordering on frenzy. You see many zebras sitting quietly around it, looking at the spectacle.
You have not been seen yet.
>>535394
It's not a hard lock.
You're in.
The shack is small with the only real features a large king-size bed with a mirror on the ceiling. Papers are strewn everywhere. The safe seems to have been broken into.
>>535396
You come across a large crowd, in the middle is Star and Shortcake. Star holds the lifeless body of Melody in her hooves.

Star stammers
"I..I…Amber tried…and tried and tried…b-but it didn't h-help…and t-then the fire happened…and the m-monster…"
>>535433
>>535411
Indy jumps down and starts sniffing over the floor like a dog.
He suddenly stops and looks up.
"There's something in the ceiling, I smell it."
>>535431
Roll.
>>535415
>>535410
The chapter details the same story you read in the inscription, in more detail. The author speculates about Spoiled Blights earlier history and family, referencing obscure passages in other religious scriptures. The passage on the Everfree is far more precise.
It says that in the heart of the everfree is a place called Ram's Fissure. The ground there is blighted and tainted and the trees are blood red. The author speculates this was caused by Grogars trip to the surface.
>>535413
The chapter mentions a number of areas
>Port Charon
>Wraithbloom Forest
>The Precipice
>the river Myr
>Tartarus
>Grogars palace
>the Ice Fields
>the eternal Plains
>>535425
A few zebras near you look up and trot towards you.
"Ssshhh, pony may not disturb ritual, pony may watch if pony does so quietly."

>>535462
>>535482
It doesn't mention anything more than the inscription itself.
>>535459
You find a map of the everfree.
Damn the everfree is huge.
And some parts are just marked with "Here there be spiders" or "here there be horrors"
>>535460
The book describes it as a small harbor near the Myr. It is where the souls of the dead wait for the Boatsdog to ferry them across the Myr to Grogars palace.
>>535463
>>535474
>>535471
The crowd parts as Shortcake carries Melody's body with her.
Star stays behind.
"I-I'm sorry…"
>>535473
"Pony must wait until ceremony is over. Or pony must leave. No more words."
The drumbeat picks up pace.
>>535464
>>535466
>>535468
You climb on top of each other. Amber finds a loose plank and in the rafters you see a black chest.
Just looking at it makes Ambers heresy sense tingle like crazy.

>>535504
Together you bring the chest down and put it on the desk.
It is not locked.
Indy growls at it.
>>535489
>>535494
You bring the body to the church.
The nuns immediately put her on a table but their faces are grim.
"I'm sorry, travelers, but there is nothing we can do…her soul has already departed."
>>535497
The drumbeats increase and 5 zebras step forward ans sit before the fire.
As the masked zebras start singing, the eyes of the 5 zebras light up and they stare at the ceiling, their mouths open without making a sound.
>>535496
Yes, you notice the camp was not far from a place called Warlocks Haven.
>>535495
>>535519
Despite your best efforts, you don't find any more references to the first word.
>>535491
The book describes the Myr as a river flowing through the Underworld seperating the Precipice from Grogars Palace, Tartarus and the Eternal Plains.

>>535528
You could find out more about Warlocks Haven in another book perhaps.
>>535527
The zebras stay such a way for some time.
Until they collapse and and a few other zebras take them away to a hut.
The music stops.
One of the masked ponies turns to you.
"Pony. What does pony seek here? Pony was not called by Duke Brahgola."
>>535543
>>535538
Inside is a green orb.
The inside shimmers and flickers with all kind of colors and shapes, changing constantly.
Amber: You were trained about this. It is a Chaos Emerald. Beacons of chaotic power, given by Draconequi to trusted servants. They are used to block the powers of other divinities, allowing chaotic forces to do their work undisturbed by outside forces. This must be what's causing the strange oppressive energy you felt while meditating. Destroying it would be wise. Or you could risk your soul to triangulate the position of whoever gave it to Skull.
>>535530
>>535536
"Our condolences…was there a particular deity she worshipped?"
>>535531

As you look into the gem…
Guess Amber stopped you from going looney.
>>535574
>>535572
>>535571
You don't find her where you left her.
Look who you're meeting!
>>535567
The nuns put a white blanket over her body. And start muttering a prayer to the Sisters.
>>535573
All you find is that it was once a fortress of Celestia and Luna, but when Canterlot was recovered during the Grand Crusade against Discord, it was abandoned.
In time it became a haven for warlocks and dark practitioners of magic until the Inquisition amassed on force to drive them out.
It remains a dark place until this day.
>>535564
"Pony seeks friend. But if pony seeks in this place, pony cannot find friend. Now without guide."

>>535598
With a good swing of your hammer you smash it into pieces.
You both and Silver, the furniture, the papers all fall…to the ceiling. You look up and see the…floor up there.
>>535597
Everybody seems to be splitting up all the time.
Who do you want to follow.
>>535611
>>535608
>>535607
>>535605
You don't see any sign of Star anywhere.
>>535599
Be strong Shortcake.
Melody needs you.
The nuns assure they will take care of the body for now.
You find the hooded priest near the shrine of Grogar.
His face is completely obscured.
>>535593
"Zebra cannot guide. Only the great Duke can. But pony must be willing to pay price."

Many ponies say they saw a crystal pony wandering around, but they don't know where she went.
>>535635
You land on a roof and crash through it.
It apparently wasn't as sturdy as it looks.
You fall down in bedroom.
A mare and a stallion under sheets look up.
The mare screams.
>>535630
The outside world seems upside down.
The ponies are still walking on the right angle.
>>535633
You open up a window and stick your hoof out.
It's a long way down…since the sky is down now…
>>535631
"There are 2 ways. Credit, pony pay in service to Duke during the afterlife for a period equivalent to the service rendered to pony. Or pony pay in full now, by fulfilling a task for Duke."
>>535640
"As I told before to another group. It is impossible.

>>535690
They look flabbergasted a you.
"Why are you?"
Note you're still inside the house, just with an open door.
>>535683
You focus on your spell…
It explodes, you tumble and crash face first into the floor, which is up above.
Only your butt and back legs are still visible.
You're stuck.
>>535690
>>535683
The spell seems to have worked out and both Soil and Silver and all the furniture tumble down
on the floor again.
Silver, who was looking for a way to help Amber, tumbles face down on her butt.
>>535689
You're back out quickly.
>>535687
She's not in the inn.
>>535691
>>535688
You see a crystal pony sitting alone by the river.
>>535686
"Trot forth and look into the fire."
They look flabbergasted a you.

>>535710
>>535711
She's wearing a sweater.
She looks pale and her eyes are red.
"H-hey…"
>>535713
You see her near the inn.
>>535715
You struggle to get out and your flankplate gets loose and drops off.
You're very…naked now, feels a bit chilly.
Suddenly you feel 2 sets of hooves grabbing a leg and BAM you're out.
>>535717
You grab one of Ambers back legs.
Silver, who is looking at Ambers flank a few seconds longer than absolutely necessary to assess the situation, also grabs one and together pulls Amber out.
>>535719
"It is not a matter of price. It cannot be done. Grogar teaches us to accept the passing of ponies. Come, look upon this inscription."
>>535718
You find her together with Pico and Mabel.
>>535716
You see a field of ice next to the river Myr. There lays a frozen zebra wearing a mask.

"Yes, any smith can fix it, don't worry. Are you okay?"
He says with a dumb smile.
>>535747
>>535740
>>535738
She breaks down.
"S-shortcake hates me!"
>>535737
"No, I've been looking for her as well!"
>>535735
[Tale of the First Key
Spoiled Blight, exiled and scorned by her kin, roamed the Everfree.
In the shade of the trees of blood, she looked to the sky and cursed her fate.
"Light has forsaken me, for I venture the paths none dare thread and seek what none dare seek.
Eternally I swear loyalty to any god who values power and ambition as I do!"
Now the ground split and from the depths of the earth came Grogar, the Supreme Judge.
"Cunning Blight, show me your prowess and the secrets of life and death will be yours forever."
Eagerly Blight spoke the First Word and became the first necromancer.]

"That is what the other group who came here before did. They came as you did. Looking to resurrect 2 friends who recently died. I allowed them to speak to their deceased friends."
>>535759
>>535763
>>535764
>>535767
"S-she was there. And s-she…."
She cries again.
"I-I just w-want t-to h–help….p-please believe me…"
>>535766
His ears perk.
"Oh…I'm just happy you're okay. My paladin partner!"
>>535765
She scratches her head.
"Honestly, I feel my head is about to explode. I thought it would be a calm day, but it seems trouble follows us everywhere."
>>535761
You found the river again and make your way to Port Charon.
There are fewer ponies here than when you've left.

Iris is at the inn.
>>535777
"And what about you, Miss Heart? You don't know us that long, but still you want to help."
>>535785
"Of course."
He is silent for a second.
"Speak."
>>535773
No but the furthest part of the river is obscured by mist. Perhaps you could ask around.
Then the peculiar feeling in your head starts again.
>>535784
>>535783
She sniffles.
"I-I didn't come to Equestria..a-alone…I-I had f-friends….t-they…"
She breaks down again.
>>535788
She went to see the Priest of Grogar you're told.
>>535789
"Uh…yes…yes…we don't have anything more to do here right?"
>>535786
'Soil! I was just talking to miss Heart. We're still looking for Star. Did you find that Emerald thing?"
"Of course."

"You don't have to say anything, Star. It's a painful thing to lose friends."
I'll readjust my monocle.
"But so long as you live, and you remember them, then they're still alive inside you. So cling to those memories, Star. Cling to them, and draw strength from the friends who helped you to survive until now. No matter how bitter the pain of loss is, you will endure."

"Hey- calm down! I- I didn't know I was gonna die! I was investigating that fighting ring and crawling through the vents there and-"
I angrily snort.
"And that fucking piece of shit asswipe Cracked Skull or whatever dipshit name he had boobytrapped the fucking vent. I got caught and blown up."
I sigh.
"But look. I'm coming back. I promise you that, Shorty."
I give a small smile, even though she can't see me.
"I'm not just gonna go and leave you alone like that you know. Not my style."

She gives you a hug.
"And my hero is back with me."
>>535802
To the inn.
LH is here too.
Good thing he still has his flankarmor so you don't notice the boner.
>>535806
She nods.
"Adventuring is a risky profession. Me and Soil also had moments where I feared it was over."

"That's gotta suck.
Y'know, feeling the hurt, the shock of the blow as my shield slams against those things twenty times bigger than me…"
Make the motion with my hooves as they crash.
"And then movin' them, too. It's the best thing in the world."
Quickly glance at Iris.
"Second best.
Or at least tie."

"I left home a mere few years ago to travel with a certain group. Unfortunately we eventually broke apart, leaving me rather lonely and stranded. But I had my rifle…"
Pat my gun, then tap my head with a hoof.
"… and my wits. I worked as a bounty hunter for quite some time. I hunted criminals and aided in keeping the land safe. Eventually I traveled to Equestria."

>>535819
She hugs you.
"Well I feared it was over a few times. I should have known better."
>>535825
Silver adds.
"And it's destroyed."
>>535826
Iris listens to the whole story.

>>538573

"I'll be fine. With Snacks." she says weakly.
>>538568
She already went to the graveyard to talk to the Priest.
>>538567
>>538565
Iris nods.
"Of course, miss Heart.We wouldn't want anything to happen to you. It's very brave you followed your dreams to become an adventurer anyway."
>>538569
Man, don't you wish you got some eternal rest sometime.
One of the souls, a stallion looks up.

Every one of you, except Melody make your way to the inn in your own way.
After some rest and something to eat, you sit down at a large table to go over your findings and decide where to go next.
Iris, Star and Tullip are here as well.
>>538585
He gets up and slowly floats towards the Myr.
"Do you know what the Ice Fields are?"

He points up the river, near the turn in the distance.
"If you look very good, you can get a glimpse in the distance. It is the place where Grogar punishes the type of mortals he hates most."
>>538612
Iris seems shaken, but okay.
Star the same, but she's in the paws of Snacks right now.
>>538611

As you trot away, the pony shouts to you.
"Pony, wait!"
>>538648
>>538650
The journey will be in 4 parts.
Each part will require you to make a roll for overall safety or you might get into dangerous situations.
Now you must decide which road to follow.
The first part into the Everfree will take you near Warlocks Haven.
An ancient ruined fortress, made by Luna and Celestia during the Grand Crusade, it should be totally abandoned, yet local rumors persist of dark forces at work there.
You can choose to
#Go through it
The chance of an encounter is small, however if total of your rolls is less than 4/10 you'll have a very hard encounter.
or
#Go around it
The trip will be a bit longer, and chances of an encounter are higher but the chance of a very hard encounter is much lower.

"Spoiled Blight was driven out of town, according to the legend, for daring to look into black magic. Forsaken by ponies and gods alike, she ran into the Everfree and swore that she would follow whatever god would recognize her ambition. At this point, Grogar stepped into the world and claimed her, provided she spoke the First Word and impressed him. She did, and became the first necromancer."
I'll sigh.
"Problem is, we know where we need to go, but we don't know what the First Word is. I couldn't find anything about it."

The party has charted a path THROUGH Warlock Haven
The next part of the journey seems to lead you towards a river.
Slithering River twists through the Everfree. It's path baffles pony geologists to this day, theorizing some strange magic flows through it.
You can
#Go over the Bridge.
A toll is asked by some of the local creatures.
of
#Try to make a raft
You'll get to make a raft through a series of rolls.

You both feel a warm feeling dwell up from deep within you. And for a slight moment you feel total ecstasy, you feel in harmony with the world, you feel connected to everypony around you as if they were your own best friend, you feel safe as if being wrapped in a warm blanket.
The feeling fades again, but a warm afterglow remains.
Pico's wounds are healed.

Whatever. I set off walking again.
"So why'd The Duke feel the need to check up on me? He doesn't trust me or something?"

She's a young pony, probably even younger than Star. 16-17 you guess she is.
She also looks very aloof and wears expensive clothing.

Rope, lantern oil, bombs… It's mine, my friend, since I don't do credit.
Seriously though, I don't know how long this trip's going to take, so I'll get a half-dozen torches, a pair of firestarters, two tents to replace the ones that were destroyed… which begs the question of where Tulip has been for all this time… enough rations to feed us for a week, water to last us the same, and I think I'll take one last look around the library to check up on that town that's in my bag. Get some history on it.

You can see their eyes moving inside.
"You saw the ceremony, zebras serve the Duke and in return he helps them to help their living family, why would the Duke do that if he wasn't interested."
>>538810
She was pretty shaken by todays events.
How about a romantic moonlight stroll?
>>538811
Tullip got a new tent.

"Why, criminals of course. The sheriffs back home were always eager to put bounties out on ponies who had committed a crime. Ponies like me then hunted these individuals down and brought them in for a reward… dead or alive. A bit gruesome, I admit, but it was to protect the good citizens from harm."

I chuckle.
"We do love our firearms back home, yes. And I did. Some may disapprove of this, but sometimes utilizing lethal force is necessary to succeed. And these were bad and dangerous ponies; murderers and bandits, not petty thieves. Not to say I am so bloodthirsty, some of them willingly turned themselves in at gunpoint."

You say your goodbyes and venture into the dark Everfree forest.
Soon the sounds and sights give way to the wilderness. The path slowly dissolves amidst the foliage and more than a few times you have to search carefully to make sure you don't get lost.
After a few hours the trees end and you reach a canyon. There is only one shaky wooden bridge.
On the other side on the hill you see the old fort of Warlocks Haven. Once a mighty citadel of the Sisters themselves it has fallen into ruin and disrepair after so many centuries.
The sun shines brightly, yet you feel cold when looking upon it. It is just a little darker over the hill than it should be.
>>544530
"It sounds weird. Like I'm talking to one of my fathers accountants…Are you really a bounty hunter?"
>>544531
You sit down and she lays her head on your shoulder.
"Tell me about the farm."

The paladins amongst you feel a shiver crawling up your spine from the residual energy of hundreds of years of dark rituals being practiced here.
What must have once been lush gardens and grand halls are barren, ruined and dirty.
When you pass through the ruined Great Hall you see a few old flags of the Sun and Moon, desecrated with old demonic sigils, who knows how long they've been there.
Star speaks up.
"I heard stories about this place in Ponyville. Did you ever hear of the Pony of Shadows?"

"Luckily, it was wintertime. This meant that traveling would be harder for them because of the weather, as this took place in an area with rough terrain. It also meant that they would likely make campfires more often to keep warm, which meant that I simply had to look for plumes. They were all earth ponies of course, many ponies in the new world are. As a pegasus, you benefit from this as ponies rarely think of looking above them to check for pursuers. Still, wings or not, there was a lot of terrain for me to cover in order to find them and the cold affected me too. Then, one day I spot a small plume in the distance and decide to investigate by flight. After circling around, I managed to confirm that these were indeed the ponies I was looking for without them noticing me. Of course, I was on my own… and they had the numerical advantage. Eight to one, to be exact."

You pass a corridor full of standing harnesses.
On the wall is an old painting of Luna, Celestia and her Royal Guard during the time of the Grand Crusade. Someone stabbed out all the eyes in the painting, leaving them as black holes.
Star begins. "400 years ago or so, this castle was inhabited by an evil wizard. Nopony knew his name, but he was feared for miles around. They say he sacrificed anypony coming to close to the castle to his dark god. He was waited upon by the walking corpses of ponies and vampony warriors to terrorize the good ponies of ponyville."

Such lovely decorations.
"I do love what they have done with the place…"
>Past
Relax a little more myself as well.
"I decided to set a trap to change the chances of a good outcome into my favor. I perched on a tree and observed them while they rested, then took note of which direction they were traveling once they began moving again. Once I was certain it was safe for me to advance as well, I took flight once more and carefully glided ahead of them, hoping they would stick to their current course. I had a map of the area with me, so I could wager a guess which town they were headed to. They clearly wished to cross the border to Mexicolt so that the chances of being recognized were lower for them. No doubt they would eventually have fled the continent entirely."
I pull my rifle closer to me and softly caress the barrel with a hoof.
"But I digress… Once I was far enough ahead I began looking for a suitable place to set up a trap. And… I did. An old abandoned mineshaft, to be exact. A quick investigation yielded me some very… useful tools."

"Celestia herself gathered the Order of the Sun to cleanse the place. There was a terrible battle here.
They had to fight the most horrific undead all the way to the deepest darkest dungeons where they slew the wizard for his crimes."
She pauses.
"The ponies of Ponyville say that he didn't really die. That something of him remained in these towers. An evil wraith, they call it the Pony of Shadows."
You pass one of the towers. You hear hoofsteps above.

Cock my gun and look up.
"Hmmm…"

I chuckle.
"No honey, there was a crate which still contained some very old sticks of dynamite. Quite dangerous and unstable material, especially so if you consider that they 'sweat' nitroglycerin as they age. It took me a bit longer than I would have liked to move them into a bag of mine and carefully move them back outside."
Pause for a moment as I consider my next words.
"So… I created a little campfire at the entrance of this mine and made it look as if somepony had set up camp there. The dynamite was carefully placed inside a closed bag near the campfire, which was nice and plain in view. I then took flight again and perched myself on a tree branch somewhere down the way I came in from to wait for them."

I smile.
"Quite right. I kept quiet and hid as they passed by. They had seen the plume of smoke and were taking the bait. Once they were out of sight again, I carefully followed their path. They unhooked themselves from the stolen coach, readied their guns and began to carefully creep towards the campsite. I made my own final move by taking position on a cloud high in the air where I had a good view of the area."

"They moved into the campsite very carefully, unsure of the location of its creator. The fire was still burning, so they were sure there had to be somepony around."
I chuckle.
"How right they were… I was simple a bit higher up than they expected. I lined up my rifle and aimed for the bag as they approached… and pulled the trigger. It was an excellent shot, if I do say so myself. The resulting explosion was quite potent and killed four of them immediately, wounding two others but leaving the last two unharmed."

"We have a duty to our friends as well. Perhaps once they're safe, we can report what we've seen here. This place is far too big for just two paladins to investigate properly."

You notice hoofprints on the wall, it leads to a bunch of barrels.

It took a bit of work to get them all, but the element of surprise helped me prevail in the end. I remained unharmed, though I did come close to being hit once or twice. That said, with all of them dispatched and the carriage still in one piece… I had no way of bringing all of this back to the civilized world."

"I could, but this carriage was rather large. It required four ponies to pull its weight with everything on board. And the things that were on board were quite valuable as well. Of course, I on my own had no way of pulling it all the way back. Instead, I took out a single bag and took it with me, then took off to the nearest town to confront the sheriff with the evidence and inform him of what had happened. Being a pegasi, this was done relatively swiftly. A search party was sent out and the items were eventually all recovered."

You enter with a healthy sense of paranoia and are immediately greeted by the stench of sweat and waste.
The tower is old and in disarray. The part of the floor that isn't collapsed has been covered with a patch of hay, and dozens of boxes filled with all kinds of old art and statues.
One look through one of the holes in the floor shows the area below was and is being used as a toilet.
"See, I collect all these things, for museums and art collections!"

The goat winks at you.

A few portraits in reasonable condition, parts of armor, some banners, and a collection of ceremonial weapons.

"Yes, yes, many times!"
Star speaks up
"Why do you keep the art like that?"
The goat bleats "…what?"

You leave Warlocks Haven behind you and start feeling more energetic again the moment you leave the hill.
You make quick way through the forest and find yourself at the Serpentine River in no time. The water bubbles and swirls wild.
You see a stone bridge in the distance.
The edges are blocked by boulders the size of 3 ponies.
On both sides sit a number of Stone Trolls, when you approach one of the trolls gets up.
"Pretty ponies must pay toll if cross."
>>549319
"I know the mask of which you speak, pony. We have claimed it from the zebra spy who was sent here. Tell your Duke that the griffons suffer no trespasses on their territory. The Zebra Dukes live in Forest, the Griffon Ancients in the hills, so it is, and so it has always been."

Lower myself to be closer to them.
"I am really sorry about this, but me and my friends are trying to help some other friends who are in big trouble, but we need your help. A favor from you. The stone trolls at the bridge want a toll, and said that they would like some cute little bunnies to play with. Could you help us?"

"Oooooh, many pretty bunnies!"
He snaps his fingers and the trolls move the rocks back. You're free to pass!
The troll then shakes a tree for some apples and gives them to the rabbit family, who start munching happily.

You all manage to get out, except for most of you being covered in slime, you got out pretty unscathed.
