"Pa?" he looks around until he looks down.
"Pa? You're so small…"
>>594267
Ah, Tulip is right there! Coming out of the restaurant.

"WHAT?"
He steps one foot out of the pool.
He's about 5 times as big as you.
The ground shakes a bit as he sets his foot down.
He laughs and raises his claws.
"WOW I'M HUGE! GREAT!"
>>594276
You vaguely here some shouting in the distance but you're not sure where it comes from.
Tulip walks up to her.
"Ah, Mabel, everything to your liking?
Can I get you anything?"

"Perhaps. But where would we find it?"
>>594279
"Great, great, say I want you to meet some ponies."
She grabs your hoof and drags you into the restaurant.
"Mabel, this is Lord Puddington." You're face to face with a stern old pony with a top hat.
"Lord Puddington, this is Miss Mabel."
"Ah, miss Mabel, pleasure to make your acquintance, I've heard you and your merry band have been making waves in Equestria."
>>594280
What chest wound?
"I GOTTA SHOW MA!"
He quickly starts running down towards Canterlot.

(hmmm….~ Snack dont know really. Perhaps we can scout the city but that will take days/even months and by that time the cultist might be long gone." I gulp)

"She reminded me a bit of myself when I was younger. Ready to become the newest and most glamorous fashionista.
If she tries hard enough, she'll succeed."
She's not taking your flank and tail measurements.
"Oh, was everything satisfactory in Ponyville?"
>>594282
2fast4u.
But Twilight tries to yank him back with telekinesis, roll for Indy's magic resistance.
>>594286
"Quite so. I've heard rumors about all of you nearly starting a riot in Tall Tale."

"That's their job isn't it? To make sure to know what's going on in the city.
As for the paladins, it would be harder to get their ear."
>>594293
The conversation is still ongoing, see snacks post.

Resistant like a motherfucker.
Even to Twilights spells.
But you run your non-magic feet and keep up.
Indy is running straight to Canterlot, his head pokes out above the buildings.
Ponies scream and duck away as they see him coming.
And guards are scrambling backup.

He's gonna hurt ponies.
I have to stop him if he doesn't hear me.
Try and climb him!

"Let's get you back to Twilight, before some guards come running.
We can't hurt good ponies!"
Back to Twily! Clear the street behind Indy to give him manouvering space!
"Go home, nothing to see here! Just a normal, huge dragon!"

"I never said we couldn't, just that it's something to consider. As for who to go to, well, Applejack mentioned in Ponyville that the Elements of Harmony needed to gather again, so anyone who can point us towards them would be a good start."

Roll for perception.

Fluttershy nods.
"That might be a good idea.
If the guards are in on it, we can't run the risk.
The paladins can be trusted but I'm not sure if they'll have enough ponies to send on this."
>>594307

He looks very uncomfortable and bad. But he slowly slips by with only a few broken fences here and there. "Sorry, sorry."
As you look around, you see a dark blue large pony on one of the roofs. Her mane twinkles with stars and you think her cutie mark was a moon, when you look again however she's gone.
You bring him to the edge of the city where Twilight shows up.
"Oh good, there's nothing broken yet."
Indy slowly sits down, breaking a few trees in the process.
"Sorry Pa, I didn't mean to break anything."
>>594313
"Yes, I saw her briefly in Ponyville, if you can ask her, I can talk to Twilight if she gets back."
>>594314
"There is a rather large detachment here in Canterlot, the threat of evil is strongest here. But yes, even here they're spread thin."
>>594315
"Oh dear, your friend here said it was an Ursa Major."
Tulip grins sheepishly.

"By hiding in the skin of the cultists. I doubt there are many more of these… skinwalkers, but they might have snuck in the same way."
I'll rub my chin and think for a bit.
"Perhaps by using the… remains of the skinwalker, we can develop some variety of detection field? Anyone that has anything similar inside them would set it off, and it would sound an alarm or simply light them up or something. Like draws like, after all, so that might be a way to go about it…"

Then your sentence doesn't make sense.
Since Fluttershy says twilight will go talk to Celestia, not herself.
"I..I'm not sure I follow."
>>594338
"I don't know how…I'll have to look for a spell."
>>594341
"Perhaps…I don't know much about magic. Only natural magic, and these things…aren't natural."

"Far from anything natural I've ever known. And a good bit more wrong than those Lemarians were."
I'll sigh.
"Well, if nothing else, I should probably see to gathering it up in a jar or something so that it doesn't spoil, or… I don't know, slink away."

"Snack will go and see if Amber and Silver can gather the paladins to help us."

You were tasting a delicious eclair from the Prance griffons.
They all taste delicious.
Except for one, a desert filled with creme as you take a whif you're hit by a strange smell, a smell of death.
>>594344
"Uhm.." she looks at Indy.
"Yes…that would help. If that's okay with both of you. But he cannot enter the city. He'll have to stay here for a few days. Hmm, I'll need to check in with the Academy again first. I'll be right back to see if that's what you want."
She disappears again in a flash.
>>594345
>>594346
Twilight appears again.
She breathes in deep and then breathes out slowly while waving her hoof.
"Now, we should study the remains of the Skinwalker. What will you do in the meantime?"

I'll yawn.
"Also, perhaps some coffee is in order, along with a pastry. If it can help, we have a chemist on retainer who might be able to assist with the study of the skinwalker fluid."

You know, I hurt Iris too, when I first met her.
But then I focused just that much and now I don't even have to think about it!

You find her in the inn, enjoying a red wine.
>>594361
Sorry.
The griffon looks at it, sniffs it.
"Mon dieu! What iz dis?!? My apologies, miss. Whoever made this, he'll be punished."
He looks to another griffon. "Philippe, who made this?" "I think it was Jean, he's in the back."
The griffon walks in the backdoor with the tainted pastry.
You hear a scream from the back after a few seconds.

"Does Silver know any paladins here in Canterlot, SNack needs you and Amber to help Snack uncover a cultist of undead dragon worshippers here in Canterlot. They've subverted the archives of the library to their own twisted goals and eve nattacked Snack, Warren and Poorsoil with their flayerd skin dopplegangers. Snack and Warren cant trust the guards since we are afraid they may infiltrated the ranks so…. Snacks gone to you." I grin.

He flies above the town pretty good and you keep up.
It's night by now and not too many ponies are still on the streets, though some are still a bit on edge.
Indy lands with a loud THUMP on a square close to the hotel.

"You can watch if you want. If you feel queasy you can wait in the room next to here."
You're handed a medical outfit.
Amber
Rarity takes a while to take all your measurements, far longer than Silver, who's waiting outside. The size of your flanks, the hooves, the hip joint, the abdomen, your neck, even the length of your tail.
When everything's noted down, she looks up "Thanks, darling. It will be done by tomorrow, I guarantee you'll look fabulous."
>>594387

You meet under the cover of night at the hotel.
"I think there's two ways to get in. We sneak in, or we disguise ourselves…"
>>594731
The Griffon Quarter is small but distinct.
On the slopes of the mountain a number of wooden houses have been built. There are bridges but the easiest way is obviously the traditional way of flying.
There are a number of shops, a small shrine to the Ancients.

"We could fight our way in?
Or perhaps, if you fly up and there's an open window, you could get in that way."
>>594747
The dragon grins and easily picks you up with his talons. And lifts you up to eyesight.
Indy is perched on the snout of the dragon.

There's a number of shrines in here.
Each dedicated to one of the Ancients and the Spirits.
Ancients: Odrin, Torvir, Harr, Kraven,… (There are 28)
Spirits: Sun, Moon, The Mother (Love), He-Who-Laughs (The Laughing One).
As additional information the evil spirits not seen here are: Lokri (Tirek), The Tyrant (Kronox), The Serpent (Discord)
There's an old griffon with grey feathers guarding the shrines.

You see a batpony flying out from the tower.
It's Paleblossom up there!
No time to be silent, she's flying towards the City.

Yes there is.
Hyperborean fashion is simple, practical, but projects power and elegance.
There's a female griffon in the shop.
"Hello, how may I help you?"

You open that mouth and nearly deafen Silver and Snacks.

But the batmare flies down.

"I wonder what this stuff is even made of."

"To be quite honest, I find it hard to bring myself to care either way. What the alicorns do is for them to decide, it is probably far healthier not to get involved."

Paleblossom turns pale.

Paleblossom nods.
"I don't know what to think anymore. He's a high ranking paladin.."

Vilina takes a look at it.

But not as in he's waking up.

You manage to get a bit of color back on your cheeks.
It is some kind of aura emanating from the Skinwalker. You better finish this fast before it kicks in again.

"Well, the water that was in this mostly neutralized the poison when I gave it to Indy. Is there enough left in it to know what it was? Soil thought it was close to something that was up on the peak of the mountain, since he ran there almost immediately after he got a look at it."

"They're going to try to find the source, you should go to the Tower of the Moon. And if you can get a pure sample we can work with it."
>>595331
You make it to the Tower of the Moon as Pico said.
Amber, Silver, Snacks and a batpony are here.
Princess Luna nods and leaves.
>>595328
The Guard wants you to come with him to the Tower of the Moon to make a statement.
>>595329
"Perhaps…"
Twilight is suddenly quiet and seems to listen to something you can't hear.
"Your friends found another skinwalker."
She finally says.

"Silver! What are you standing around for? You heard the princess! We need to go flush out those sewers!"
>>595335
I'll frown a little.
"So that means there are probably even more that we haven't found. Great."
I'll think for a second.
"On the way up here, Snack mentioned a series of caves underneath Canterlot. Do you suppose that might be a possible location?"
I'll frown a little.

I look at Soil and smile as I approach you.
"We will go hunting heretics PoorSoil. It looks like Paleblossom bat pony has idea's where they are."
I look at Indy.
"How is he? Snack is glad that Indy is looking good."

When you arrive there, a large dark mare flies out. Her crown is silver, her hair twinkles with stars, her cutie mark is a moon.
The guard immediately bows.
"GUARD, WE WILL NEED YOUR HELP TO GATHER THE PALADINS."
>>595338
"I found a group of victims there two days ago with idols of a dragon."
>>595339
"Perhaps. It would take long to scour them all."

>>595350
She looks at you.
"CITIZEN, I AM LUNA, YOUR PRINCESS AND WE ARE AWARE OF THE DANGER FACING CANTERLOT. WE WOULD ADVISE YOU TO STAY INDOORS TONIGHT."
She then looks you over.

I'll nod.
"Have fun, then… ah, right, I forgot. I picked this up earlier in town, and I thought you might like it."
I'll fish the decanter from my bag.

She smiles and winks.
"Go get 'em."
>>595355
Because I'm gathering you all together
Paleblossom thinks.
"Mmmm, we could take the entrance within the Tower of the Moon, or the the entrance near the Palace Garden. What do you think?"
>>595356
"WE HAVE NO TIME TO DISCUSS THE 1064 RULES CONCERNING THE ROYAL WE AND ITS ETIQUETTE CONCERNING COMMONERS. SUFFICE IT TO SAY ADDRESSING US AS PRINCESS WILL BE ENOUGH."

Paleblossom looks at Indy.
"Uh…The entrance near the Tower might be available and the old halls of the Diamond City are pretty large. But if we have to search the smaller tunnels, he wouldn't be able to follow us in there."
>>595360
She nods and flies away with the guard.
It seems Soil, Amber, Warren, Snacks and a giant dragon are at the Tower.
>>595361
Soil Indy and the rest are here.

I'll massage the spot between my eyes for a moment.
"Actually, you know what, we don't have time for this. We've got bigger problems."
>>595363
"Snack, you recall earlier on the way to Canterlot you mentioned the caverns beneath it. Do you think that perhaps they might be a staging area of the zombie-dragon cult?"

"It's a possibility. However, Twilight mentioned that they're rather expansive, and searching them entirely would take quite a while. However, if they are operating from that site, it will shorten search time dramatically."
>>595374
I'll speak to everyone.
"Also, we have another objective, aside from simply shutting these cultists down. If we can obtain a sample of the poison those skinwalkers use, Twilight and Vilina may be able to create an antidote to it, given time, and perhaps even a way to weaken Ner'Ghal. So, if you happen to see any pools or barrels of the stuff, grab a vial or bottle of it for study."
And to Indy.
"Indy, it's alright to disobey your 'Pa' if it doesn't seem like a good idea. For instance, you wouldn't have jumped off a bridge if he told you to before you got your wings, would you have?"

You listen in on their conversation and thus can read the rest.
They seem to be talking about skinwalkers and cultists.

It seems Indy is the giant dragon.

"The water from the spring at the peak of the mountain seems to be an antithesis to the poison itself, burning it away and, in Indy's case, healing some of the damage it caused. Unfortunately, the effects of the water cannot be magically replicated, but I'm hoping that it can be alchemically copied."
>>595383
"I know, Indy, and I'm very glad that you're alright. After this is all over, however, we're going to have to find a way to shrink you back down so that you can walk around town with your ma and pa again."
>>595384
"You'd let a baby dragon get into a dangerous situation all alone?"
I'll raise my eyebrows in mock surprise, then wave my hoof.
"In hypothetical situations, Soil, events are put in a way that they wouldn't normally happen. For instance, asking what someone would do in a certain situation is a hypothetical exercise, where you think of how and why ponies, or dragons, would act in that situation."

"That might work here, but what about the next town? Or the town after that? Word does spread, as do rumors."
I'll scratch my chin a bit.
"For now, though, ponies will be scared. If we're lucky, they'll just stay out of the way and give Indy a chance to prove he's friendly like we all know he is. Other ponies don't know that yet, and they probably won't believe us for a while."

ALL EXCEPT MELODY
With a spell, Paleblossom, the batpony opens the grand gate next to the Tower of the Moon.
It opens slowly but is large enough for Indy to enter.
Inside you are greeted by the Great Halls of the old Diamond Dog Capital.
The hall stretches on far beyond your sight and the ceiling is so high up you can barely see it.
Normally these halls would be filled with batponies, alas they've all been sent out leaving only an eerie silence.
"This used to be called Nuxezar, the capital of the old Diamond Empire, hundreds of years ago." says Winston.
Despite its age, the stonework is still solid. "Many statues were destroyed but there are a few left here, many more in the Depths."
He points to two old statues showing fierce Diamond Dogs in armor.
There are 2 ways forward, further through the Grand Hall, or take one of the smaller sidepassages into the deep.

You wake up slowly with an immense headache.
You're alive but chained in a cage.
You seem to be in some kind of old ruin, there are a few statues of Diamond Dogs near you.

You look, it's Hard Coin!

You can ask him.
He's clothed very differently than other Diamond dogs you've seen before. In a tuxedo and his accent is very posh.

Too stronk! Keep trying.
Hard Coin sniffles.
"How did you get involved in this? I never invited you to my room. And who's the buffalo?"
>>595470
"Just- shut up! Shut up already and let me concentrate on trying to break this fucking chain!"
Okay
Deep breath…
I need a plan. A plan to get out.
I give another look around. Do I see anything of note?

Great Halls
You advance with Indy through the Main Hall, Indy has trouble getting through at times but you slowly make headway.
You hear a bubbling sound.
Roll to determine the location.
Paleblossom perks her ears.
"What's that?"
Side Passages
The side passages are dark and steep.
You hear voices in the distance.
Roll for perception.
>>595478
He appears.
"As always, I thought you had forgotten about me." he says grumpily.

You look up, searching for the source of the noise and slip over a pool of water.
As you look over the ground you notice the source of the noise.
A large bubbling pool of sickly green fluids.
>>595485
>>595486
>>595489
Paleblossom nods.
"A long time ago, but we don't came here often anymore…."
Soil slips and lands right next to a bubbling pool of sickly green liquid.
Paleblossom frowns.
"That's new…"
>>595491
He rolls his eyes.
"Fine, what do you want me to look for exactly?"
>>595490
>>595484
>>595483
It's a mare and a filly talking.
You hear the mother telling the filly not to run away too far as you find them.
They both look hungry and messy.
The filly quickly hides behind her mom.
Mom looks uncertainly at all of you.

You notice hoofprints in the mud.

>>595499
"We were just looking for a roof above our heads…we're not trespassing, are we?" says the mare cautiously.
It seems there's no food in your inventory.

He nods "I'll take a look." and fades through the walls.
"Who are you talking to?" asks Hard Coin.

Snacks seems to have found something. >>595516
Paleblossom grips her axe. "I'll find whoever is responsible for this, they'll have much to answer for."
She follows Snacks.
The tracks are easy to follow in the mud.
You see a small chamber up ahead and light burns inside.
There seem to be 3 ponies inside.
That chamber would be too small for Indy to fit through, Soil must roll additionally for Indy to find a way to get in if he wants to.
>>595517
"Uh…about a week now. We come up in the day…"
>>595513

They live deeper down and give out free food and water. But you have to join them for their Mass. I didn't trust it, but my husband Iron went there to get food for us both…when he came back he wasn't the same." she sniffles.
"He's down there with them again."
>>595519
"There's two passages out of here, one leads to another cell with a pony in there. Another leads right to their main hall.
There's a large group of ponies there, talking about sacrificing two mares, a stallion and a buffalo. I'm thinking that refers to you."

"There's another mare in that other cell I was talking about. Now let me do the work."
He walks into the Skinwalker who trashes about and then becomes calm.
The skinwalker walks to the cage and with one slash cracks it open.
Hard Coin crawls into one side, scared for his life.
>>595533
You break them apart.
The grey pony falls to the ground.
The other pushes you back and grabs a knife.
Indy can help from this angle but a wrong move could damage both of you.
You're fighting a Risen Cultist.

You shoot him in the leg and he falls down. One turn before he gets up again.
>>595539
He's helpless but attempts to get up!
You're fighting a Risen Cultist.

As you run towards the grapple the Cultist evades you and pushes you to the ground, you're helpless.

I'll nod.
"That's rather like what happened in the town of Silverhaze, a little while ago. This cult deifies the dragon zombie Ner'Ghal, and nearly sacrificed an entire town to it. The food he offered you was likely poisoned with whatever it is that turns ponies to his cause."
I'll pace slightly.
"Can you direct us to this church or gathering place? If we can get a sample of whatever it is they're putting in the food, we might be able to make a cure for it, and save your husband before it's too late."
I'll nod.

"She's about to be food for the Dread Dragon, like all of you will be soon as well."
Paleblossom looks at him in disgust.
"I don't know what happened that made you fall so deep, but I promise you, you'll get what you deserve.
Why are all those pools here?"

Tsk.
"No thanks. I've got my own dragon to feed."
That'd be a good cue for Indy to growl.
Move on top of the cultist and slam his head inbetween the magical shield and the ground.
"Now listen up.
I can give you a slap with this and turn you into a pretty gem pony for my dragon to snack on, OR you can tell us where the others are hiding."
'1d10+3' intimidate.
I think the dragon should also count for some bonus?
Roll #1 5 + 3 = 8

The cultist turns a bit pale.
"The pools are here…because the Dragon wants to share our Gift with all of Canterlot. Tonight our Champion will ascend the Endless Stairs to the top and pour Ner'Ghals gift into the river spring. It will spread all over Canterlot and Equestria!
Go down that passage to the Mass. Then you'll see for yourself and find that mare you like so much."
Paleblossom grits her teeth.
"We have to stop this, we can't let this happen!"
She looks at the passage.
"..but your dragon can't follow us through here. He'd be of immense help, but we somehow need to force our way through if we want him to join."

You follow the torches towards a large hall.
In it sit a few hundreds of ponies, the poor and forgotten.
They stare at a large cauldron towards the front.
There in a white robe is Swift Silverhaze.
Next to him, two gigantic undead ponies.
The ponies attending the mass seem normal still but their eyes are dim. As if they're not really looking at anything

Whispering to the others, I'll advise caution.
"It seems we've found them. And whatever's in the pot must be what they're using to brainwash these ponies…"
Frowning, I'll stare at the two large guards.
"Taking advantage of the downtrodden and desperate… Simply foul."
I'll slip into a more stealthy stance as well. '1d10+2'
"Assume that most of those ponies down there are already turned."

I'll frown while looking over the throng.
"And I'm rubbish at disguises, so I can't push through them, either…"
Thinking, I'll look at Amber and Silver.
"I don't suppose either of you know how to break mind control or curses?"

He's knocked out cold.
Snacks has finished digging. The hole is small but it would be quite easy for Indy to smash the edges and push his head through, allowing him to directly hit the crowd underneath with fire.
>>596541
You quickly jump aside as you reach the ceiling underneath. Down there you see a crowd of infected ponies. They haven't seen you yet
Indy could easily smash through and attack them now, but you'd have to get out of this pit if you don't want to fall down in the middle of that crowd.
>>596542

You both see a diamond dog paw dig through leaving a little hole but nothing else.
Some ponies in the crowd look up, but most are focusing on Swift.

Swift grins.
"Why yes, everypony is welcome here. We distribute the foo-"
A mare suddenly swoops down but gets caught by two ponies.
>>596543
You swoop out of the shadows to backstab Swift but right before reaching his back, two ponies jump in and push you away.
You roll over the stage.
Swift grins at you.
"Attacking a pony from behind, have you no honor?"

There's a mare in there. She crawls back to the end of the cage as you approach.

But my attention's going to have to go back to the stage, and I'll quietly curse at Shortcake's failed attack.
"Amber, Silver, we'll have to work our way through or around the crowd. Can't leave Mabel and Shortcake up there by themselves. Be careful of that hole in the ceiling, though. It might be the others."
And, still stealthed, I'll begin to work my way around the crowd towards the stage.

Battlefield description
The cave hall here has one stage where a sacrificial altar is placed.
There are 3 passages there.
One with a large stairs, where the Giants went with the Cauldron, the Giants are out of sight.
One other passage you don't know where it goes.
And the one where Soil/LH/Paleblossom are. Out of range of Indy but close to Swift.
On the stage is Swift, a bodyguard and Shortcake.
The rest is the hall where the crowd is.
Many are burned and helpless, others forget themselves and run away in pure terror.
Only '1d15' cultists remains to fight, in range of Indy

A batpony stallion takes you in his hooves.
"Hang on, miss." He quickly flies up the stairs towards the source.
You suddenly hear a slow thumping, look up and see two undead giants walking high up the stairs carrying a large smoking cauldron.
"What the?!?" the batpony stops "Do you know about those things, miss?"
>>597463
>>597467
>>597468
One of the batponies comes up to you.
"These things are foul. It would be better to destroy them then abide their existence. Do you have any idea if there might be more?"
They are taken into custody.
No one has told anypony here yet about those two giants carrying the cauldron right to the source.
Bad memories.

You come up the stairs to be greeted by a truly illustrious band in the first rays of sunshine.
On the rock above the spring lays Indy.
Next to the spring stands twilight, next to her flanked by two Day Guards, a white alicorn with a flowing multi-colored mane. Her cutie mark is the Sun. As you look upon her you are suddenly filled with courage, thinking yourself able to lift mountains.
Next to her flanked by two Night Guards is a dark blue alicorn with silver tiara, her mane sparkles with a thousand stars. As you look upon her you are filled with a deep feeling of calm and assurance.
And next to her, flanked by two Crystal Paladins is a pink alicorn with multicolored mane and golden. Looking upon her brings you a giddy feeling, as if you're in love with life and the world.
I'd let you roll a Willpower roll to withstand the mere auras from these goddesses meshing together, but since we don't have stats for that, just decide what it would be like to have all that conflicting stuff inside you.

Next to her flanked by two Night Guards is a dark blue alicorn with silver tiara, her mane sparkles with a thousand stars. As you look upon her you are filled with a deep feeling of calm and assurance.
And next to her, flanked by two Crystal Paladins is a pink alicorn with multicolored mane and golden. Looking upon her brings you a giddy feeling, as if you're in love with life and the world.
I'd let you roll a Willpower roll to withstand the mere auras from these goddesses meshing together, but since we don't have stats for that, just decide what it would be like to have all that conflicting stuff inside you.
The dark blue and pink pony's horns glow as they float water from the spring to you.

I think, honestly, no one will complain if I just sorta pass out. I came far too close to death, and undeath, today than I care to admit.
Before I go out, though, I'll look at Twilight.
"There should be enough for a sample down there, I think…"

I am a donkey.
Donkeys are stubborn and all that, right?
Look them in the eye, but drink greedinly from the water.

Well… I've never been one to worship any alicorn, but I suppose this might be a little overwhelming.
That said, I'd like to feel better first and not slip into a coma.

Splash through the water and rush towards Cadance with starry eyes.

All that worry about rank and position seems silly when you've been face to face with your god and these Sisters. I understand now why the nuns follow them.

You slip into sweet unconsciousness.
You feel as if wrapped in a warm blanket.
>>597567
You get your bro before he embarrasses himself.
You feel cleaned by the water. The weariness of this adventure slips off you.
>>597566
Stubborn, maybe.
That doesn't mean this magical water doesn't soothe your aching bones.
>>597568
The water calms you down and soon your heart is acting normal again.
The batpony slowly puts you down with a grin.
>>597569
She looks a bit surprised but then smiles kindly.
"You have brought honor upon the Empire through your deeds, my faithful servant. I am looking forward to Knighting you, Amber."
>>597570
You feel refreshed by the water.
Why, even your suit looks clean again!

Grand. Perhaps the future has changed today. But until Ner'Ghal is well and truly dead, I won't really rest easy.

"Thanks sugar. Ya'll are too kind."
Wink at him, then turn to eye these alicorns while I drink some more. Let me guess, they're using spells to amplify their presence.

"How could I not know the names of those who dedicate their lives in service of the Empire?"
>>597575
Celestia speaks up.
"No, this is merely the beginning. You should rest and gather your strength, for soon we will have to fight this evil at the source."
>>597576
Maybe they are.
"Wanna go have a drink sometime?" says the paladin.

Night is over
Now we're in the twilight period before the great battle.
Here are some things that need to be done.
Figure out which you'd like to do first and who you want to do it with.
>Audience with Celestia or Luna to discuss the matter of the dragon
>Discussing the findings with Twilight (multiple players recommended since it might be dangerous to go alone.)
>Soil meets an unexpected guest
>Ambers Knighting (friends can be allowed to watch it in the audience)
>Shortcake's cooking contest
>Melody's confrontation with Hard Coin.
>Snacks lessons with Winston (solo recommended)

>>598637
The Moon shines bright outside the tall windows of the Royal Court.
On a golden throne with the emblem of the Sun and Moon sits Luna, Princess of the Night. Two fountains of the holy river are besides it and the silver Night Guard protects the gates.
Luna nods as you enter.
"Citizens, please step forward."
She nods.

"Yes, quite the sickening behavior on his part. He attempted to talk his way out of trouble as well, which just comes to show how corrupted his mind is. I do not believe he is remorseful in the slightest."

"It is my honor to present to all of you, even your absent companions the Crescent Medal in recognition of your service to Canterlot and Equestria."
A servant steps forward bearing a number of silver medals. Round, each engraved with the two alicorns chasing each other.

You follow her into the next room.
There are a number of military officials here bowed over scrolls and discussing troop movements. A few mages as well.
Luna continues. "The dragon disguised itself magically for a long time. After it went north, we sent scouts to track it down without any results until now."
She shows you a map of Equestria and points to a town near the northern border with Hyperborea. "A few days ago one of our scouts came back near death from Eagle's Watch near the volcano of Tireks Mouth. He died after giving us his report. Our guard had to burn the body to prevent raising. What he told us..is bad."

We have to stop him before that.
The city itself will require a lot of ponies to breach.
And the dragon itself…we know only one force that might weaken it enough to make it vulnerable. The Elements of Harmony."

>>598685
"They are mystical shards of power…they existed from the first moment of creation…some say even before.

>>598699
"You have our thanks, Amber and Silver."
>>598698
"Yes, but the Elements have so far only worked in large bursts. We'd like that to happen when in range of Ner'Ghal, lest we merely destroy his hosts and he can attack us without our biggest weapon."

"If I can help to get the world rid of that affront to Nature, I will…
It might be more stubborness than courage."

Amber is in the antechamber with the other paladins to be knighted right now.
You're all wearing your best suit and will be called soon.

All of you are in the main hall. Amber is in another room still.
A large stage has been prepared decorated with the pink and the heart of the Empire.
Amber and Silvers parent are here, as well as a number of crystal ponies and some Equestrian delegates.

You wake up in the Inn, Iris is still sleeping.

See, I told her it was about time!

Cute. Roll out of bed and make sure the sheets don't fall off her.
I've a certain appetite this morning…

Bump against him.
"Don't be nervous now! This has been a long time coming! Today we're finally officially going to become paladins!"

They're here in their best outfit.
Ambers mom does her best to remain dignified, while Ambers dad is dressed in his military garb.
>>598738

Do you?
You should get down and get something to eat then.
>>598739
Apparently judging by the other guests, you wear formal garb.
>>598740
"Maybe it's a bit too soon, don't you think? I heard some ponies have to work years before being knighted."
>>598741
Maybe you could make a glittery dress out of one of the shiny ponies?

I scrunch
"We worked harder than ever before! But even so, that's not even the point. If Cadance thinks we're ready, we're ready! You trust her judgment don't you?"

"We just have to keep doing our best, that's all we've ever done and all we can ever do!"
Give him a hug
"And as long as we have each other, there's nothing that can bring our spirits down, right?"

Aaaanyway, as you go down to get some breakfast, the innkeeper waves to you.
"Mister Soil, I have some news for you."
>>599632
[Goodbye horses theme intensifies]
The murmur of the crowd lessens and ponies sit down.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, would you please rise for the Princess of the Empire, Cadance and her husband, Shining Armor!"
>>599633
"Yeah, you're right. Oh, I think it's starting."
You hear some clopping coming from the main hall, but the commander doesn't say you can move yet.

"The genie finally delivered that lettuce he promised?"

Well, I suppose it is only polite to do as told and show respect. I do hope they don't expect me to bow for them too.

A pink alicorn and a white unicorn take the stage bearing the emblem of the Empire.
The first paladin pair trots through the walkway to receive Cadance's blessing.
A stallion and mare, they look pretty nervous and hold tails as they walk up.
>>599636

"…uhm, no genie here, but I have a message from a lettuce salespony…"
>>599637
The first pair is called up, you'll have to wait until it's your turn.

And Amber and Silver are even younger!
These paladins sure are crazy.

Do you want to do the cooking contest or do you want to watch Ambers knighting?

You slowly translate the scribbles, the hoofwriting is bad, but not as bad as that of Tossed Salad, the weird merchant that sometimes visited your farm.
"Dear mister Soil,
I have something of interest for you.
I will be at the Dawn Square selling lettuce. Please drop by at your earliest convenience.
T.S.
PS: if possible, bring your marefriend as well."

OH BOY THAT'S AMBER!
I hope Indy's watching too, because he always liked Amber!
>inn
"Uh."
Guess it's time to get breakfast and take some sweet rolls upstairs to Iris.
Wake her up with the smell, and as she eats show her the letter.
