The crickets chirp and the moon shines bright outside a tavern in the middle of nowhere.
Inside, a group of travelers gather in response to an ad calling for "brave goats willing to risk life and limb for adventure." The air is thick with cigar smoke and filled with the sound of rowdy drunk patrons.
Before the party sits a middle aged pegasus.
"One… two.. three… Alright that looks like enough of ya. Sit down and we'll get started"
The pegasus beckons each of you to sit down.

The pegasus is a light shade of blue. His mane is short and somewhat wavy and brown in color. The cutiemark on his toned flank is a pair of eyes looking to the side
>>156114
You fall flat on the floor, missing the chair completely
>>156117
>>156111
"It'll be worth it it believe me"
The pegasus takes a drink of his ale
"Now I won't lie, this'll be a bit of a goose chase. I'm not even sure where what I need is. But bring it back to me, and I'll give ya riches you couldn't even begin to imagine."
He pulls out a piece of paper and lays it flat on the table

"When you see what it is you're going after, you'll understand"
>>156130
The pegasus notices your stares. He gives you an indifferent look but shifts his rear a bit out of sight
>>156128
You see that it is not a map at all. In fact it is a page torn from a kid's storybook. It details a legend of a book lost for ages
"It's an old nanny's tale. A book whose pages are said to be the most divine tasting thing ever to have existed. It's enchanted with flavor beyond mortal comprehension and replaces each page as it's torn out."
He gives a sly smile
"I need you goats to find it for me. Bring it back in one piece, and I'll give you more gold than you ever could imagine. I'll even let you sample a page."

I smile at this simple task. "Well, naturally it will be found in some kind of uptown library. Oh, Oh I know just where to go! The grandest and oldest library in the land! Naturally located in the most fashionable city as well." I say excitedly at the thought of seeing such a place.

"While I don't know exactly where it is, I can at least point you off in the right direction"
He pulls out a map and places it on the table
"Canterlot to the north has a library full of books. I find it hard to believe you wouldn't find something about the book there. And I've heard ruins of a holy temple to the south hoarding all sorts of old texts. I can only afford to send you to one place though, so you gotta choose."
A barmaid rolls out a tray and places a drink in front of each party member.
In the background, the drunken patrons start to get louder and rowdier

I stare at him in disbelief, dropping my cigarette.
"…A foal's tale? What are you, droll? You can't possibly be serious! This is… this is frivolous!"
I drop my head against the table.
>>156140
"…you are. Wonderful. Magnificent. I don't even care to rhyme anymore. Will you at least be fronting an expeditionary fund? I am in… much need of provisions."
I take my drink and down it.

I take my drink and sip it, finding it to be bitter and foul tasting. I set it to the side, motion for the waiter to come closer and whisper to the waiter. "could you bring me something with a little less bite dear? I'm sure you can fins something with a sweet flavor back there.."
"Comrades, we simply must go to Canterlot! Its a once in a life time chance. just imagine all the new ideas I will get there.." I stare off lost in the idea "Besides, the old temple might be in ruins, and have no books."

"Right away sugar~"
The barmaid winks at you and leaves, coming back with with a mug of sweet cider
"Seems a little light for a strong billy like yourself!"
>>156153

The pegasus puts on a flat expression
"I need it for research. I'm sure this book has some kind of holy enchantment on it and I'm dying to see what"

"Oh, imported conditioner! T-Thank you for noticing~"
She swoons a bit
>>156164
"Sorry… abwha-? I've never heard of it."
>>156168
"Since when have holy relics been exclusive to unicorns? And goat tales aren't exactly hidden from us ponies, just… very uninteresting to us."
"Now then, have you decided where you're headed?"

STORY SO FAR: Our party of goats answered an ad for adventure. They agree to find a magical book with delicious pages for a pegasus whose name they don't even know. Everyone now has 600 bits as starting payment, except for Clarence who started with 900. Unlimited bits are promised upon return. AND THEN PERSEO STARTED LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME
>>156182
"Right away hun!"
The barmaid leaves and quickly returns with a mug filled with the blackest substance you've ever seen. It has the consistency of syrup of smells of death
>>156186
The pegasus turns his head to the tavern entrance and whistles. "Canterlot!"
A pony standing near the door nods and quietly walks outside.
"That nice stallion'll be waiting outside for ya. Try not to keep him waiting will ya?"
>>156179
>double 1
The large drunk stallion leans against you. "Mmmm I'm yours to command master!"
You climb atop his back and yell CHARGE! You then proceed to ride the stallion around the tavern, muttering incoherently about striking down evil in the name of the sun.
Maybe you're naive, or maybe you're a lightweight and that one drink was all it took to intoxicate you, but it just doesn't sink in that this stallion isn't actually under your command. In fact, it's almost definitely the second reason.
The pegasus laughs and tosses you your bag of bits, which you manage to catch and pocket. "Hey fuzzy, I'm not payin ya to play cowboy!"
The stallion comes to a sudden stop, sending Perseo flying into a group of drunk patrons. Something pushes him off and Perseo hobbles back to the party.
"Whhhaaat the fffuck is wrong with you goat?" A large drunken diamond stumbles up to him. "Don't you knnnow better than to fuchk with shomeone bigger than you?"
Four ponies walk up behind him, each with weapons drawn and in equally foul moods.
"IIIIII'm gonna kick your assesesss!"
Combat begins now!

Perrrfeeect.
I drink a large gulp and try to enj-
…Whelp, never mind.
"Can't you hooligans try not to kill each other for one day?
Is there really no other way?
We all die in the end,
Why try to rush to that bend?
Or that sharp steel,
Thrusting into you and causing you to keel?!
Life is suffering,
Death is suffering,
What reason do you have,
For wanting to choose between these two halves?!"

The diamond dog takes a step back and you stumble. He takes the opportunity to knee you right in the face,
>>161847
Your aim is much better. The diamond dog winces and you slam straight into him
>>161849
Your words fall on deaf ears. One of the ponies charges you and you give him the gift of pain by smacking him with the side of your sword
>>161850
"I… I can take it! What am I doing with my life?!"
One of the ponies slams into a wall, intent on ending his life. He only manages to knock himself right out.
>>161853
You swing with all your might, but you're just a tad bit too far away to hit anything

"You would attack a fallen knight?! Shame on you, foul beast!"
I try to inspire my comrades with a noble song of chivalry.
"Brave, brave Sir Pumpkin Squash faced the giant shrew,
He charged the rat with his mighty lance, and struck his mark true,
And all the maidens fair and plain swooned for him that day!
But he did not fall for any mare, for Sir Pumpkin Squash was gay!"

You twirl just in time to dodge an incoming pony. The wound you leave on his side is almost pretty!
>>161877
Your song gets your party pumped to fight, as well as get a few onlookers laughing.
+1 to rolls next turn
>>161878
You swing your sword and give each pony a smack on the face. It's enough force to knock each of them out
>>161879
"Get off me youuuu horneded fffuck!"
You jump on the diamond dog and keep him from moving
>>161884
Your dagger flies right for the diamond dog's face. The damage done isn't enough to kill him, but painful enough to make him pass out
All enemies are down
The rest of the drunken patrons have gathered around the party. Some of them get excited for some action of their own and start swinging at other. Before long, the whole place is in one big brawl. Fighting ponies surround the party on all sides! None of them have their attention on you, but they are blocking the exits.

Your words reach the ears of a single pony. He immediately stop fighting, The second he does, however, a stray stool hits him in the head and knocks him out
>>161897
You manage to squeeze through the ponies to the exit. You are now outside
>>161899
You push the fighting ponies out of the way with your wall. A slight breeze passes you as you each the exit. The barrier fades as soon as you leave, as you are no longer there to maintain it. You are now outside
>>161900
You jump over the heads of the ruffian ponies and gracefully jump through a window.
You are now outside
>>161903
A few of those fighting hear you and calm down. There's still plenty of brawling happening and the exits are still blocked. +1 if you try to escape

You effortlessly drag the pony outside. It's almost as if the barricade of fighting ponies parted just for you!
Outside are two ponies hooked up to a carriage. One of them is the stallion the pegasus who hired you was talking about. Clarence is still inside.
>>161915
The ponies are still inside. The fight is still going on.
Oddly enough, the pegasus is nowhere to be seen.
>>161918
Everyone got their bag of bits. 600 bits

You make the same mistake and add another bruise to the poor large stallion.
The two ponies begin pulling, and the party travels north to CANTERLOT!
The journey takes almost two days. In the meantime, the unconscious pony wakes up. Bewildered and confused, he makes no movement. He doesn't even speak. He just enjoys the ride and hopes none of the armed goats who kidnapped him intend on slicing him up.
It is the afternoon when the party arrives in Canterlot.
"You're on your own now kids!"
The two ponies nod and the party and ride off.
Everyone now stands in the middle of the city. Various food shops and homes line the street they are on.

"What you did in that bar was very brave. To set aside one's arms in the name of peace is far nobler than any victory on the field of battle.

Something about your words just makes sense to him. He suddenly feels nothing more than to be a squire under your command.

The pony kneels at your feet. He is now yours to command!

You pay your 500 bits, leaving you with 100. As soon as Boulder equips his stuff the clerk boots you out the door. You land flat on your rear outside.

You notice something about that kris that you didn't see before… it seems to sparkle in the light!

"Yet another example of the infestation of evil that plagues this land! There simply is no love here, in the heart of the city! More wealth, more problems. We must move carefully."
I wait for our companions and show Boulder a few of the tricks with a sword I picked up from all those novels.

I sigh and an evil frown comes to my face.
"Alas, another fruitless effort…
Not worth the energy I exert,
What is the point in continuing my search?
When I know all I will happen is a continual lurch?
Trotting along in life,
Filled with infinite disappointment and strife,
I ask, what is the point of continuing with this task,
When I know by the end of the day it will all come to drowning in a cask?
Escaping my woes,
Until the day I go!"

You walk towards the academy. Many of the rooms look unlit. There are still a small handful of what looks to be faculty and students walking about.
Around you are what look to be student housing area, a building labeled as a cafeteria, and various buildings that lead to areas where various courses are taught.
To the back is a rather large building labeled 'Library"

Carefully slip away to the back of the library. It looks like construction is still going on back here. Some of the columns are broken in a strange pattern.

You follow Clarence and see the same thing. you also notice that the broken columns can be jump on and climbed to reach a window that was left open!

Both of the guards pause as your words sink in. Tears begin to form at their eyes, followed by full force crying. Both of them run off into the nearby woods. You assume some kind of unspoken suicide pact has formed between them.

Your match somehow gives off enough light to match Perseo's torch! However there still isn't much light nor are there torches immediately visible.

You almost choke as you finish that sentence.
Suddenly a large figure appears down one of the aisles! It's too far away to be seen with the party's light, but its eyes do give off a bright red glow.

"For the party, duh! We weren't even finished with it! It was gonna have lollipop eyes and everything!"
The buffalo nods. "Yeah! We were even gonna have it held up by a string and we'd send it all flying everywhere like 'pschoooo'!"
The buffalo stands up and jumps around trying to mimic flight.

You followed Chev. He is in the back with the others, as are you. The two are right in front of you

The goat shrugs. "No, but Dreamy might know!"
He points to the unicorn at the table behind them
>>162395
The goat hops up on top of the buffalo's back. "Aw, but the party's just started!"
The buffalo puts on a pouty face. "Yeah! And everyone knows parties are more fun with more people! Stay a while! Pleeeease?"
The unicorn glares at the book partially sticking out of Erumal's bag.
"Is that royal academic property in your bag? Are you even faculty? What are you buffoons doing trespassing here this late at night?!"
Erumal roll please

Bessy perks up. "The one and… er, two and only! Uh… Happyhorny? Yeah, something like that! How have ya been?"
The unicorn glances in your direction. "Oh, how wonderful it is to see you, Happyhorn. Is that old crone in your gaggle of cud-chewing miscreants, too? This misadventure has all of her hoofprints on it."

All three of them pause and give uneasy looks.
The goat speaks up. "We had a whole lotta reading to do okay? What're you doing in here?!"

I MEAN WOUND
Last time on Goat Quest: Shortly after the party decided to head towards Canterlot, a slightly inebriated Perseo mounted his trusty steed for fun times. This led to a nasty fight with a few drunken patrons, which then escalated into a full on brawl between everyone inside the tavern.
The party escaped, dragging out a poor soul knocked out in the commotion. They then took the carriage that was waiting for them outside to their destination, taking (kidnapping) the unconscious earth pony along for medical treatment (hostage holding). Upon arrival, they set the earth pony free, only for Perseo to talk him into servitude.
The party did some shopping, Goatsburg caused a potential double suicide, and everyone trespassed onto royal academy property. Along the way they gained two new party members: Erumal and Chev!
The party now stands in the library of Celestia's royal academy. Sitting at a table before them are a small goat and a feminine buffalo (identified as Pomelo and Bessy by Happyhorn), and a grey unicorn (identified as "Dreamy" by Pomelo). Four lanterns surrounding the party and now lit, and the book found by Erumal now lies on the floor. It's cover clearly states "The Complete Equestrian Encyclopedia of Myths and Legends"
The unicorn looks at the party with an annoyed expression. "I'll ask you trespassers again, what about a page restoring book?"
He begins to levitate the book towards him.

Boulder taps me on the shoulder and hold up our purse.

You only need to turn a few pages before you come to a section about the book you are looking for.
It's a small section, barely a paragraph long with a small picture to accompany it.
It details that the book is a legend among goats for it's glorious taste and self-regenerating abilities. It also states that the book has been lost to time, though some reports tell of it last popping up in a battle at the Foal Mountains, to the east of Canterlot.
