The Vilitian Desert stretches to the more forgiving San Palomino Desert of Equestria in the north and the Crescent Wasteland of Saddle Arabia in the south.
Old mares say that the Vilitian Desert is unnatural, a dry wasteland created by dark forces beyond comprehension in an age long past and that those forces still linger underneath the sand, preying on those foolish enough to venture into their domain.
The Vilitian desert is not a sea of white sand but an ugly brown waste. Here and there rocks and even small trees can be found, but these oases of life are a death trap for the unwary traveler for elemental beasts and monsters make these their home.
You'll leave before dawn. The maps and information you collected should make this trip quite easy and barring terrible misfortune you should be able to reach Ra'Drihur, the supposed resting place of the weapon used against the Triumvirate.
Any final thoughts before leaving?

I'll be going through the closet while the staff reminds me of anything else to bring along.

Muk hats light, but if you keep him in your saddlebag for the journey that should work.

Many-Legged Spider as found dead in an alley in the Snake District this morning. Red Guard officials are unwilling to comment on the situation as of printing.
An anonymous source claims that shortly before his death, damning evidence came to light that he was involved in filly molestation. It is suspected he was killed by somepony wanting revenge.
A noble mare from the Snake District says "I don't condone violence, but think of the children! Our streets are safer now with that creep gone."

And so the journey begins.
You make your way to the Scarab gate and leave for the desert.
Your successes in capturing intel have granted you the following advantages
>1 less group roll (2 instead of 3)
>DC for no bad stuff is lowered during the journey
>no chance of reaching the wrong ruin
Now, you must make your first journey towards Desolate Rock, a small point to rest and get your bearings before the final trek to Ra'Drahir.
Everyone roll for a safe journey

The sun is rising and it seems with every minute the temperature is increasing.
The thought of being exposed to this scorching heat at noon is unbearable.
You make quick progress however.
Rustlefeather quickly guides you to Desolate Rock.
It is one huge pointed rock in the middle of a wide open wasteland. Underneath it is a bit of shade.
Rustlefeather checks the place before motioning for all of you to come.
"Good, it's still an hour before we reach the ruins. But we're doing good so far. Let's take a little rest before moving on again."

Ah, that's good.
Trekking in the desert is tiring.
Just a 100 meters feels like a kilometer.
>>584120
There's only sand for miles.
You see some critters in the distance but they're still far away.
There are some bones of small animals here.
Some predators must come here from time to time.
>>584122
"Yes, but we have to ration our supplies. The last thing we want is having no water."

But overall? Rocks, more rocks, sand, more sand. It is amazing anything can live here. Look, let me show you something, grab a bit of sand."

You let is go from your hooves, but small black pieces keep sticking to your hoof.
They look like large black specks of sand.
"Weird stuff isn't it? It gives this desert its more brownish look.
Put that stuff in a pot with your favorite plant and in a few days the plant will die."

"Possibly. Some ponies say that they poisoned the desert to make it even more deadly to hostile armies trying to cross it. Less plants to eat, you know. But that doesn't make sense to me. Old reports of the desert already describe it that way in the earliest days of the Triumvirate.
Unless they found some way to spread that stuff all over the desert during those days I doubt it could be them."
>>584139
You've heard about the stuff in the desert.
It's called Locust Dust, you don't know more than what Rustlefeather just told you.
>>584140
"Imagine one of those. But their body is made of solid onyx, and they're on fire. And then you've got a good idea what they look like."
>>584141
"Neither do I. Perhaps this desert was lush and fertile once, but that would have been a very long time ago.
This stuff can only be found here as far as I know. It's what sets the Vilitian desert apart from San Palomino."

Of course, it's an urban legend of desert explorers.
That the Triumvirate has a gigantic vault underneath the Oasis filled with gold would be logical, since they can afford to buy slaves on a daily basis.
The desert explorers claim there's more to it however. They claim that the Triumvirate not only has a lot of gold, but actually have a machine that creates gold.

Oof, this wasn't too bad.
You quickly leave the pest behind you to continue your journey.
Another 30 minutes pass and then it comes into view.
You had expected it more grand probably.
What you see is just a couple of columns sticking out of the sand.
But Rustlefeather quickly shows you a tunnel amidst the columns and rubble. There's a dark stairs down.
"I just wanted to say, if we don't make it out of here alive, it was a pleasure knowing you all." says Rustlefeather.

Despite the withering there's enough for you to make sense of it.
The pillars attribute the building of this temple to King Zerbaia the First, an ancient Fillilonian King. The temple was erected here to "cleanse away the Demons of Metal." Apparently the Fillilonians believed dedicating this temple to their gods would make these gods keep the demons at bay.
There are several hymns to all the gods but especially the Sun and Moon. There's also a carving of a pony with a sun halo, flanked by two mares with a moon in their hooves, the sun stallion carries a crystal.
There's also an etching of what you guess must be this room, it shows this room and the two smaller chambers, each the same size.

Sword and axe and dagger and rapier form a symphony and hack the remaining horde to pieces.

The chamber you enter is round.
It is dark but in the middle is a set of faintly glowing swords and axes.
As you light a torch you notice beautiful tapestries on the walls, depicting Fillilonian ponies fighting undead and some kind of black ponies with green glowing eyes with the shining weapons.
You have found Blessed Weapons
+1 when attacking undead or Black Lemarians with these weapons (not skills, just the regular attack)
There's a passage to the north and east.

The chamber you enter is round.
It is dark but in the middle is a set of faintly glowing swords and axes.
As you light a torch you notice beautiful tapestries on the walls, depicting Fillilonian ponies fighting undead and some kind of black ponies with green glowing eyes with the shining weapons.
You have found Blessed Weapons
+1 when attacking undead or Black Lemarians with these weapons (not skills, just the regular attack)

The deer takes a deep breath.
''Alright Maali…Do not ruin this…''
He slowly and calmly throtted onwards.
He stops in front of the neared mare.
''Um…Excuse me maam,could you please inform me where can I find…''The Scar'' ?
He politely asked

It is covered in rich hieroglyphs depicting pony warriors fighting weird creatures. There's a theme of pony-shaped armored enemies.
It also shows these enemies worshiping a demonic looking figure on a throne.
The wall slides into the floor, but similar paintings adore the walls beyond.

A dirty, hungry colt walks up to both of you.
"Mistah, do you want to buy some water?"
Foil simply shoves him away without much attention to him.
"Watch out for those street colts and fillies.
Thieves and pickpockets, all of them."

Right now, it is peaceful however, as the sun shines through the leaves off the forest.
You're supposed to meet your contact at the shrine to Nature in the middle of the forest.

They used Blessed weapons like the ones you're holding to do so.
The monster depictions are unknown to you. Black ponies with green eyes.
They are shown worshiping another figure on a throne that is known to you.
Kronox, one of the demonic gods, second only to Tirek.

Many died but they left without the coffin and boxes, perhaps this is the weapon you seek?

They were here before Changelings.
They are the enemy of all that lives.
Plants scream in pain at their mere presence, they seek no life, they only bring death.

They simply sleep…until somepony enters.

You both walk down the stairs and Spruce trips up rights as he's berating you.
He tumbles right into Dr. Z and you both tumble right to the bottom of the stairs.
It's dark down here and you land into some kind of sticks, cracking under you.
Rustlefeather follows and lights a torch, you seem to have fallen right into a pile of old bones.
The room here is in disarray, bones everywhere and in front of you there used to be a large stone gate, now broken down revealing a dark passageway.
There's a soft but distinct buzzing coming from that passage.

These ain't no demon bones.
Demons usually physically completely disintegrate and their essence sent back to their home plane when defeated, they don't leave bones.

I'll assume you did the Cleaner check.
Yes, these are clearly Changeling bones.
Quite a lot of them in fact.
There has been a terrible fight here, judging by the state of the bones a very long time ago.
The wounds are unusual, some seem to have been inflicted by spears or something, but the edges are burned. As if it was some kind of glowing hot spear.

You enter the broken gateway and as you shine your torch forward you're greeted with another sight entirely.
The bleak sandstone ends and in its place is solid smooth black rock arranged in squares.
The place smells of oil and there's soft buzzing.
In the middle there are strange…coffins for a lack of a better word in your vocabulary.
The front is translucent and inside you can see metal forms of ponies. Next to each coffins are lights blinking and hieroglyphs lighting up and disappearing again.

Even an expert like you only knows bits and pieces.
Long ago there were the Lemarians, a supremely advanced civilization of ponies that destroyed itself in a cataclysmic civil war.
The one side lived in what is now modern day Equestria and Trotantium.
The other, the so called Black Lemarians, lived in modern Vilitus, Saddle Arabia and the Broken Isles.
This architecture is definitely Black Lemarian but the coffins are something you haven't seen before.
You are reminded of a report you read about a group of adventurers four years ago in Equestria.
They reported walking metal ponies commanding strange and terrible powers and making nature itself scream in pain by their presence.
One of the adventurers wrote a paper theorizing the Black Lemarians reshaped themselves into metal constructs through unknown means.
Standing here, before these coffins these theories suddenly become frightfully real.

Ambrosia slams her fat butt repeatedly and lewdly against the gate until it slams down.
You're all greeted with an alien sight.
In here on both sides of the walls, there's another row of coffins but they're wired to a cage in the middle.
The wiring seems almost childish compared to the advanced technology of the Lemarians.
In the cage sits a large female changeling, almost a Queen but she misses the trademark crown appendage on her head.
The Changeling looks up towards you with a franctic look in her eyes.
"Love…I smell….Love…are…are you real?"

But what is more worrisome is the wires attached to the coffins.

Her wings spread open she takes to the air. Her horn grows green and she conjures a torrent of magical fire blocking your escape.

As Deep is attacked by the Slave, you see your chance to strike your dagger in its side, doing minor damage.
>>592926
Good, those spears look hot.
>>592921
As the Demiurge is brought to the ground by the doctors vines, you shoot her horn.
The Demiurge gives out a high pitched sound.
>>592922
You throw some sand at the Slave but it does nothing. Without a word, the Slave swings his spear straight in your shoulder. You feel a searing pain and smell burned flesh.
You are helpless!
Sickle rolls towards the first slave and swings her backhoof. The slave moves fast however, blocking her attack and throwing her back.

Now things suddenly go very fast.
As the Artillery locks onto all of you, Doctor Z swings his vine around both back legs and with a tug binds them together.
The artillary loses its balance tumbling backwards and its cannons upwards.
As it tries to rebalance, Ambrosia and Sickle attack the right front leg, crushing the bindings keeping it attached.
Spruce cleaves the bindings of the left front leg allowing Melville to shoot it through from afar with one shot.
The artillery now crashes forward onto the ground. Parts of its delicate machinery tumble on the ground. A vat filled with a green liquid and a ball with a number of rings floating around it. You pick up these items quickly.
Now Earthbound climbs the fallen body of the Artillery, jamming all his explosives inbetween the torpedoes putting them on a timer.
The gate opens revealing an elevator platform.
You all run inside and the elevator platform moves upwards.
"We might have to dig the final few meters through some sand I fea-…"
BOOM
The building quakes as the explosives and torpedoes explode. The explosion sends the elevator upwards at a massive speed bursting you through the last layer of sand and tumbling into the desert.
Besides a bit of ash on your coats all of you are fine.
Where the elevator was is now a smoking deep hole.
You see the temple a bit further got a bit of the blast damage as well. Rustlefeather lays at the entrance. Shaken but okay.
Myziri looks towards the crater.

"You think you can get a change of on before we get closer Mizzy?" I kind of gesture to her changeling form

"It's quite charming compared to three centuries of darkness and an occasional repair drone."
>>593459
"…Of course, I'm not stupid."
With a green glow she quickly changes into a yellow mare with orange mane.
Apart from her mane being terrible oldfashioned there is no sign of her not being a pony.

Maali slowly approaches the Purple mare
He silently bows.
''A problem with plants…Well What is it then Miss um…'' He says motioning for her to tell her name

"Daisy of course, silly. You were always so forgetful with names. I'll tell you on the way home."
She grabs your hoof and starts walking towards the forest.
>>593467
"It's always been like that.
Why do you think I wanted out?"
>>593466
"I'd have to be close to death not to be able to do this and your boost of emotion didn't hurt…"
She flutters her eyebrows.
"Let us go in. I'll be right behind you."

''o-oh…Oh sorry Miss Daisy…Um…H-hello again''
He says blushing in embarassment
''O-oh…Alright…'' He gets a bit red with holding hooves but proceeds anyways
''(She's just being friendly,I'm sure)'' He thought to himself as he went with her
''S-so um…How have you been miss Daisy?''

Once you're alone her tone shifts dramatically.
"You weren't followed I hope.
I know you're Maali.
You may call me Phantasm. I'm the one you were supposed to meet here, I'm bringing you to the base now." she says short and to the point.
>>593470
"…Trust me and I can help you defeat them."

after a few seconds he slowly nods to her

She facehoofs.
"Command didn't tell you anything.
Oh Luna…."
She stops.
"Listen, we're here on a dangerous mission to kill a group of Changeling Queens called the Triumvirate. Command sent you here because you're a healer and we're in desperate need of healers.
You can heal?"
>>593478
She nods to another old pony selling ice cream.
"Changeling Overseer."
>>593479
He looks like a simple disinterested guard laughing with a joke one of his colleagues just said.

She grabs you and stops you.
"Have you ever been on an infiltration mission before?"
>>593482
>>593481
You guide Mizzy through the tunnels into the base.
As you approach the last few meters, the floor starts glowing and bars slide down on both sides of you.
The glowing floor zaps Mizzy sending her back to her natural form.
The Master, Phantasm and Whisper appear on the other sides of the bars.
"Intruder!" growls Phantasm, grasping her daggers.

The Master thinks for a few seconds.
"Phantasm, take this bug to our Vault. We'll lock her up there until I know exactly what's going on here."
Mizzy jumps backwards.
"What?!? Lock me up, I'm not getting locked up again, not again!"
Her horn glows green.
But Phantasm smirks hitting the horn quickly.
"Thanks for the excuse bug."
She grabs Mizzy's head and smashes it against the wall.
Mizzy drops down unconcious.
Phantasm grabs her by the horn.
"Okay, open the bars I'll drag her to the Vault."
The bars open again.
The Master turns to Whisper.
"Whisper, go to the sewers for a while.
If she was connected to the hivemind, there might be a swarm of Changelings on its way, be sure to warn us."
He turns to all of you.
"To my office, I need to know everything you've seen."

It means I assume you have told everything to the Master and he'll go in deeper through questions.
But if there are certain things you definitely want to say we can do that.
Doesn't even have to be the entire story, just the parts you'd like your own view to be told.

"This is a rather unexpected twist.
I had hoped it was some kind of weapon or poison especially effective against Changelings.
An informant like her is useful…but we'll need to rewrite all our plans.
The fact that these Changelings seem to have advanced knowledge of the Lemarians is alarming as well.
I will have to interrogate her."

"Not entirely.
One Lordblade may fail, but as an organization we are indestructible."
>>593516
"Depends.
I have a lot of questions, about her, about the Triumvirate.
If she cooperates, then it will be civil and easy."

"Yes, I believe so.
Phantasm hit her pretty hard, I believe it will take about 40 minutes for her to wake up.
You're free to help us then."
This means that once the Day is over, instead of sleeping you'll be assumed to have helped with the interrogation, but for now you can still finish some stuff if you like.
>>593519
"And we will not harm her.
We merely need to know if she is genuine.
If she is, then she'll be free to walk around our base and help us."

She might be a valuable ally if she decides to help us willingly.
I don't want to use force unless we absolutely have to.
You should bring that table to Lightning Swift or Gear. Perhaps they could find other uses for it."
>>593523
"Yes, if you'd like. It could take a while."
>>593522
He nods.
"Indeed. Do not get me wrong, I see the opportunity here.
But I need to know for sure we're not walking into a trap here, allowing a Changeling into our base could mean our downfall in seconds."

>>593537
"Yes. I had hoped for somepony less rare to be fair, but I'm assured his knowledge about Nature and healing is second to none."

The recruiters sometimes choose such ponies.
Truth be told, that's the same reason Spruce got chosen, and I must say he's been adapting quite fine to this line of work.
Still…."
He scratches his chin and shakes his head.
"I'd need to see how he behaves first."
>>593547
It is something.
His head is quite squishy but he doesn't seem to care.
He slides back in your pouch.
>>593549
The purple mare comes over.

She shrugs.
"I thought you were so good at defending yourself."
>>593554
She doesn't let go
"You know what place this is?
Ponies die here daily.
If the Changelings catch you, you'll wish you were in hell.
Believe me, if you're afraid of me, you might as well pack up and go home."

You're low by the ground slithering forward in the deep dark sewers.
You're near a large cistern.
In the middle are five old coffins and a hooded figure.
He talks to himself.

The vision fades.
Done for today, see ya next day

You go through a tunnel underground and enter the Hideout.
You can find a full description of the Hideout under Sanctuary in the doc.
Suffice to say, it's big and well hidden.
Phantasm leads you to an upper office. Here behind a desk sits an older serious pony.
He walks up and offers you a hoof.
"Greetings, Maali, welcome to Vilitus City."
>>593568
That would be a nice beginning.
>>593569
You see many more things.
But don't remember them in the morning.

"Hmmm, yes.
Let me inform you why you're here, mister Maali.
We, the Lordblades have been sent here to infiltrate and destroy the Triumvirate, an organization consisting of three Changeling Hives.
Our job is to gather information and pave the way for the eventual assassination of the Triumvirate Queens.
To do this, you'll be working together with our team, who are right now away in the desert, if all goes well you should meet them tonight.
I'll be your supervisor.
You can take my word as equal to the word of Celestia as far as the mission is concerned."

>>593582
She looks up.
"Oh, well it isn't really settling in…I'm going back to home when the Sun rises."
She smiles.

"On my own. When I was a young jack, I worked as a bodyguard of sorts. Made sure a pony, not going to name any names, who had his share of money, was safe.
One time, something went wrong, and they showed up with a dead guy. Told me to take care of it. The new guy can take the fall, I knew I'd be a goner if I was discovered. So I took care of it. And the next. And the next. Until you realize that you spent the better part of your life scrubbing blood out of the floor."

How we fall into some things and realize that's our talent all along?"
You'll have to say who you want to talk to.
It is good to meet the rest of the party.
Later friendships with other party members might mean a lot.

Maali walks up to melville
''Um…H-hello there sir…My name is maali and I'm..uh…I-I was assigned to your team…''
He bows his head a little
''My name is Maali…it's a pleasure…''
Melville could see mali was a petite,fragile loking deer…He had green tatoos all over his body that looked like leaves of sorts…His eyes were a ridiculously bright shade of green and he had a necklace wih an emerald hanging on it…
He looked rather fuzzy…

"This morning. It was weird, you could hear the shot from far away. It was like a thunder. BOOM.
Hit him with some strange bullet the guards said, but they dragged him away before we could see it…"
>>593590
"I haven't seen anypony else yet."
>>593591
"I was in the Mage Academy, ready to become another mind mage working for the Guard when I got approached by one of the Blades, I didn't know it at the time.
They said they needed me for a mission and I needed money.
I saw a whole other side of Equestria then.
The dirty dark side.
I was disgusted at first, but by the end of it, I realized…I liked doing dirty work."
>>593592
The purple mare is here too, she nods.

When it gets rough, I just remind myself I'm making the world a better place."

He prances along to Ambrosia.
''Hello…You must be of the team too…
''I-im Maali…I wll be working with you from now on…'' He says bowing.

The Blank went after the books.
The books with what might be the secret to me in them.
So did those dogs, in account of the [can't remember the name] family.
Now, an accountant of the Cotedor family has been killed by the Blank.
Where does this put me?
Could the Cotedor be involved with the books?
It might be worth a visit.

Today, a comedian died in Vilitus.
Somebody knows why. Somebody knows.

"Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but Vilitus is a dry and desertlike shithole. The Scar used to be an urban area where ponies lived and worked, but one night mother nature struck and plants began to grow rapidly out of control, swallowing the houses and ponies in a sea of flora."

Melville, there wasnt too much in the newspapers, but you know a guy who told you more.
Ruby was closy by so she knows a lot as well.
The Prophet was the leader of a doomsday cult about 4 years ago. He had a lot of fanatical followers and caused riots.
He was eventually defeated by a group of rogues.
What the newspapers didn't mention was the secret army he was supposed to have.
Nor that there was a donkey called Javier deeply involved.
>>593964
"Oh, okay…lead on!" she says.
You were!

It's pretty late, but you know where she lives. Also you'll have your vision later so don't use that knowledge yet.

You walk past a street filly.
"Mistah, ya wanna buy some shells?"
She holds up a few shells she found on the beach.
>>593973
"It was Ambrosia and a few other rogues who eventually defeated him. He and a donkey called Javier were planning to use a secret army of those black metal ponies.
Even now there are ponies secretly trading those things. It's the most hidden trade in the City…well except maybe Vilitian honey."
>>593972
"You are free to come and go, as long as you're here for our meetings. But you could have a drink and listen to us, you might learn something about the city. Did you meet Ruby yet?"
>>593975
The Warrens are unstable as ever.

But there's a big talk between Phantasm/Ruby/Maali and Melville.
You feel compelled to join in.
>>593980
"Never heard of Vilitian honey? That's odd. I believed all of the Vilitian elite had heard of it at one time or another."
>>593979

>>593980
"Ruby this is Maali, Maali, this is Ruby."
She's a crystal ponoe.
>>593978
You notice some other colts.
But they don't dare move close.
Actually, the shells look pretty neat.
One in particular is a big and a rainbow of colors.
>>593977
You get dirty making the trip, you're quite a bit away from the Hideout when you find what you seek.
It's a glowing green fungi, you wonder why the Master would be concerned about it.
>>593982
"Perhaps…it's disturbing to think our enemies might have access to it.
Especially if what you say about the Changelings..this Varash knowing a lot about it."

She holds out an empty small hoof.

She sniffs it and takes a little bite.

"You should watch out when doing that.
There's that group, the Survivors of the Lemarians, Earthbound and Spruce had a run-in with them. They seem like the type to stop at nothing to get those things."
>>593998
After a minute she asks the fungi what it's doing here.
She frowns a bit.
"….It's angry…"

There's light inside and you hear talking.

"It doesn't say…but look."
She wipes over the fungi and glowing spores stick to her hoof.
"This is poisonous…You should stay back…I don't like this…I've never seen something like this."

"Don't worry, I don't get affected by poison.
I've eaten poisonous flowers lots of times."
She trots to the wall and scraps some dirt away, revealing glowing roots in the walls, the spores release a misty cloud of spores and Morning sneezes "achoo".
"These mushrooms are just small compared to what's in the walls."
She goes a bit further and scraps some more wall off.
"This could be dangerous for the hideout….and the city."
>>594007
You see a pony mare and a griffoness in there, the griffoness crying.
The mare looks up and notices you.

>>594012
"Hmm, I can try to remove them…but it would take a lot of time and very ineffective with their roots all in the ground.
We could ask Threading Gear to develop some protection for the hideout for these things.
And we should find out where it comes from. I've never seen these kinds of things in Vilitus before, somepony must have imported it."

She preys one mushroom lose from the wall and puts them in a bag.

You're not at the fungi place.
You should have gone with Ambrosia then, but instead you sat down with Phantasm.

"Yes? What do you want?"
>>594021
She closes the bag well and wipes it off before throwing it to you.

"Of course, you shouldn't go out now."
She puts a bottle of beer in front of you.
"You sure you can handle it?"
>>594030
She nods slowly and lets you in.
The house is dark with only a few candles lit.
The grifoness looks like she's been crying for hours.
There's a half full bottle of wine and a few glasses on the table.

"Uhm…where should I wash off?"
>>594033

"Because you should make sure to have a good nights sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a big day."
You see Ambrosia in the distance filling up a bathtub for the nature mare.
>>594037
You find an old wooden tub and you and Sickle fill it up with water.
Dew sits in it and tries to wash all the spores off.
>>594035
The grifoness sniffles.
"T-thank you…A-are you one of the Laughing Monks?
Grin was always good friend with them."

"Sedimentary Rock is mystery wrapped in an enigma. If we knew more about him, we might know what makes him tick.
But nopony seems to know about him, I tried."
>>594041
She blows her beak.
"Thank you…I can't believe he's…gone.
I haven't even seen his body yet."
>>594046
"We are talking."
She looks over.
"Oh….no idea really. Taking a bath? But normally you could just bathe under the waterfall."
>>594044
Soon enough, she's a clean pony.
But the water is tainted.

"I'm sure I won't have to hold your hoof."
>>594056
She stops.
"Yes…there was something now that you mention it. Some kind of weird book he spoke about, it unnerved him."

The Red Guard is the guard of the Snake District. Outfitted by Blood Diamond.

Phantasm grins.
"Oh don't be so surprised. You think I didn't know? But don't worry, I'll keep your secret.

You see a white light gray mare with yellow mane. Ambrosia calls her Nightshade.
"Oooh, really poisonous you say? Let me take a look at it."
She sees Maali.
"Ah you must be Maali."
>>594062
"I don't know what it was.
He said that while working at the Cotedor mansion he was told to pay somepony for a book. He saw the book and it gave him the creeps."

>>594070
"Hmmm, sources? Not voices in your head I hope?"
>>594071
She hands the bag.
"P-please don't open it without protection, miss Nightshade, they're very poisonous."
She raises a brow. "Can't be that poisonous if you can still talk."
"Believe me, I've never had trouble with poison, but if you take a whif of that you'll be in terrible pain."
Nightshade frowns.
"I'll have to investigate them in my lab then."
>>594072
Morning Dew, a green mare, responds.
"Extremely poisonous fungi. I'm not sure where they came from. They're not from here, or perhaps they've been mutated by magic."

"Oh I didn't look…your mind is strangely clouded. I read your file."
She takes out a file marked Hokkaido.
Property of the Crystal Empire.
She reads.
"Family of Neighponese nobility.
Prone to…strange breakdowns in which you told the weirdest secrets about everypony around…."
She nods.

Too bad eh?"

She studies you.
"And what about these breakdowns?
If you're prone to psychotic episodes, I need to know."
A voice echoes in your head.
Oh my sweet Hokkaido, you do not believe anypony could read my presence in here. Not her, not Grey Splinter, you should not fear that.

You have a +2 to it as your bonus talent.
You see it are Tartarus Caps, a very poisonous fungi, but they're strangely misshapen and even more deadly than usual. You theorize the Caps have been amplified with magic, but by who or why you cannot know.

Phamtasm wouldnt mind if I cleaned myself first…And planted my antlers too…Right?"
With that thought,he walks to the waterfalls
