The shrine to Celestia can't seem to decide whether it wants to be humble or ornate. Prominently displayed and visible from the sea, it lies in a secluded park filled with trees. Pains were taken, it would seem, to make it seem natural. The shrine itself is simple: a hexagon when viewed from above, made out of archways. In the middle, a statue of the mare herself. The statue is gilded with genuine gold to match her outfit, and her stone mane is embedded with gems that gleam in the afternoon sun.
>>349427
As you approach his cabin, Quartermaster Smitts opens the door and ushers you in. Before you can so much as open your mouth, he starts:
"Very interesting results, as I expected. I've learned more from this shrine custodian than I would have expected from a full report. I trust you are up to the job of handling the looting?"
>>349429
You're on the Pillager's Fancy.

No one's in the cabin. You ask around and find him down in the hold. He's over in the high value area, behind a locked door, but he acknowledges you through the bars.
>>349437
The park is full of benches and there are mostly ponies of the cloth enjoying the day. A large procession of pirates is "repenting" at the altar, with varying degrees of sincerity. They're mostly support crewponies.
>>349438
You find them on the Pillager's Fancy main deck.
>>349440
You wander onto the Darklantern. Supposedly she has quarters here. Eventually you find a room labeled 'navigator'. Could you be any more metagamey than picking an interesting NPC from the list and then seeking her out like a homing missile? You haven't met her or head of her!
>>349441
"I am aware. The situation with Mister Curry is under control. Consider him handled."
>>349445
There's no one named Cloudy Skies. You see Border's Skewed at the door of Cloudy Stripes, though.

He sighs while continuing to rummage. "Go ahead, then. What are your findings?"

"Shielding from scrying implies to me a possible block against teleportation as well. Local teleportation, inside to inside, is much more likely. In any case, something will be worked out. All I need you to do is plant this:"
He reaches for one of the small potted plants on his desk (which are literally the only decoration in his room at all, aside from his mounted spear), and pulls off a leaf, then hoofs it to you.
"Near the entrance. A crevice will do nicely."
>>349458
You're going to have to be more specific. Given that this is their city, even most of the civilians are members, if only ancillary support (laundry ponies, cooks, scholars, teachers, etc.)
>>349460
She's a recluse.
She asks through the wood:
"Who's there? Why have so many ponies come to my door?"

"Soooo, Elements are the real deal, right? I mean, it's everywhere and they are fancy and stuff and they are not so simple than simple elements and much more complex, but a shooty point of way I figured what it meant was that I should not take every element for granted, plus you said we don't want the frosty side of water, so I put two and two together and figured if we mix water and fire we get steam? Is that it?"

"It's one of the rarer species of waterlily known as the Migrant Lily. Native only to the jungles surrounding the Orange Sea, the lily rapidly matures. It reproduces by spores, and when fully grown, it has a tendency to propel itself toward the origin point of its spores, even across land. Plant it, and it will mature, seed the area in spores, and make its way back. The lilies will mark the entrance to the shrine even when it is submerged. They are a lovely shade of crimson."
>>349473
Her voice sounds a little less suspicious. "Oh… I see. I'm glad they let you out. Who's with you?"
>>349474
He covers his face with a hoof. "Not even close. So, so far away. You don't need another schooling, do you?"
>>349475
You can see it from here: Saint Radiant's Basilica. It looks like a gothic office building. Read: two things that should never be mixed.
>>349477
You can almost feel her frown through the door. "I prefer the company of myself."

"Perhaps I can simplify the matter. A doctor is someone who, if they encounter any injured creature, is expected to do their level best to heal them. So, while it is their duty to heal others, some doctors neglect this duty."
I'll rub my beard a moment.
"However, that does not mean they helped you only because they had to. I believe miss Spring, and miss Seas, have a very strong desire to help those around them."

Nearby there's a rundown shrine to Luna.
You also see shrines to the Elements of Harmony, to De L'Esprit Des Lois, to Nature, to the Laughing One, and more.
>>349505
She grimaces at you. "I've heard that line before. Find an interest in somepony else, I'm taken."
She shuts the door.
>>349504
She lights a few candles and puts them around the room. "Sorry about the mess…"
>>349499
In a low voice, Narrow Moonbeam speaks:
"In a land torn by war, destruction, chaos, and evil, one pegasus stands up for what is right and good. One pegasus defines the future for Equestria. That pegasus is… Well, not you, obviously."
>>349496
He growls a little an exits the high value area. A moment later, you're looking up at him in your school uniform. He levitates you up on top of a crate and levitates the now-monstrous tome up in front of your face.
"The purpose of the text, my darling student, was not to force you to learn how to do the magic. I am willing to teach you that. I wanted you to understand what the magic is. This is the third time I've felt you didn't properly respect the art of the arcane. Let me be perfectly clear, little schoolfilly: if you treat magic like it's a gun, something you point and shoot mechanically without second thought, you will kill yourself. Probably by blowing yourself up. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be for me to sink what little spare time I have into you, only to have you kill yourself permanently? And besides, you should learn to read books, because I won't be here forever!"
That last line was rather unexpected. Then again, the whole spiel was.

"Can't see shit, Cap'an. And that's saying something. It's a big black spot. Bad juju."
>>349522
She freezes up at first when you hug her, like she's not sure how to move in a hug and is afraid she'll trip over you or hurt you, but relaxes into it, even if she doesn't return it just yet. "It was… nice. He's charming, really. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner."
>>349524
There is.
>>349525
He turns his frustration to a smolder.
"It turns out this time I'm not being cruel, I'm being practical. What I wanted to teach you was about the soil. The very earth that makes up the crust. It shares with water the attribute of coldness. And the lesson I was going to teach you was about controlling your form. It would be harder to teach you, schoolfilly, if you had to control your greater mass. The fact that you're furious is just a perk. Are you ready to learn? Or do you want to throw a temper tantrum?"

"Uh… well Emrille is the pegasus with the large hat. She likes money and… me as well. Borders is a mage that says a lot of weird things. I'm not quite sure what his deal is exactly. Felfire is that weird necromancer with the shadow magic. I'm not very fond of her to be quite fair. Chip is the big diamond dog. He's harmless enough but… I don't like him too much. Light Heart is that pegasus with the heart problem. She's pretty intend on keeping me closeby for medical reasons. Tony is another diamond dog. He seems nice enough… for a pirate."

He chuckles spookily. Like a ghost.
"He makes a better hero than you. Do you know he doesn't even NEED that eyepatch? I'd say he was wearing it to infiltrate your crew, but I know that's not his motive."

"THIEF! PLUNDERER IN THE NAVIGATOR'S CHAMBERS!" (Audible to everyone on the Darklantern)
Decks above, you hear a warning bell begin to ring.
>>349532
You have a little more luck here. The shrine here is similar ambivalent about its purpose: it's an attempt at a serious homage to the goddess of frivolity. At least they tried.
>>349534
He frowns. "Do you need a time out to cool down before we start, schoolfilly? If you let your passions grip you, you'll be a danger to yourself while casting."
>>349536
She seems preoccupied with the intruder.

He gives you a very serious look. "Given that this means of punishment seems to be successful in motivating you, and I foresaw a need for future motivations…"
He withdraws a cute little filly-sized revolver. It has a gilded mechanism covered in runes and floats it over to you.
"Do you think this will be sufficient?"
>>349546
A wave of pirates head down the stairs. It takes a good ten or so minutes to finally smooth everything over. But let's just cut to the chase and say you apologized profusely for the inconvenience.
>>349551
There aren't really any… stores here. You can't seem to spot any sort of place of business at all. Just shrines, temples, and churches. It's odd… though one of the small chapels does strike you as a little more businesslike than others. There's a magical sign on the front that glows in red letters, "O P E N".

>>349555
The inside of this chapel looks like a proper bazaar. Ponies haggling left and right. There are symbols of The Law hanging everywhere.
There seem to be tellers, and ponies request items which are brought up from the back to be observed. Nothing, it appears, is worshiped here but profits.

He lifts your barrel slightly with a hoof, like a father guiding his daughter the first day at the range.
"You're not used to such a light weapon, are you?"
>>349556
She sighs. "I don't do good around a lot of other ponies. Too many moving variables. Can't plot a course."
>>349561
"Who said there has to be? Why shouldn't there be a hero to the hopeless, for instance? It's all good for drama, that's for certain. I think Iike the one where she rips out your throat: no offense. Don't worry, you cum as you gargle your blood, so I could think of worse ways to go."

"It's okay miss Cloudy Stripes… you still do really well for, um… some ponies need to have a dog or a cane to get around like you do! It's really neat!"
I walk over and give her a gentle, reassuring hug to try and help her calm down, before letting go and backing away a few steps.
"Oh, um, you don't like hugging, right…"

He levitates a bottle of grog over across from you on top of a barrel. "Let's go over the Elemental Properties. You recall that water and earth are both cold. Why do you employ ice in battle, schoolfilly?"
>>349570
She offers a weak smile. "It's okay. I just don't want to hurt you."
>>349572
He bows at you. "Peace be upon you, Celestial."

Narrow Moonbeam seems a little upset that you figured out his riddle so quickly.
There seems to be a crowd outside of her room.
>>349579
"Vulnerability was what I was looking for. But isn't it paradoxical? The solidness of ice could surely be used to fortify one's self. That's the other side of cold. Instead of brittleness, cold can create fortitude."

>>349583
She prances over with you. Wark shrugs and gives you your space. He seems pretty unconcerned.
>>349584
She gives you a weak grin. "I used to use that for ponies like that intruder. Nothing ever punishes so perfectly as it, but it's very rare on the sea. I always have to bargain it out of Smitts. He's been everywhere, and seems to collect rare plants wherever he goes. I bet if I had tossed some on that intrusive unicorn he'd turn into something that can't intrude. Like a rock."
>>349587

"This would be easier on solid ground for you to understand, but for your dignity I will spare you and continue the lesson indoors. By utilizing stone, you can remove recoil, shift your position quickly, and hit foes harder, leaving you an extra instant to shore up your position. Earth is the foundation for life, and utilizing it is your lifeline when you get into trouble… as I am sure you do often."
>>349600
She gives you a questioning look. "Yes…?"
>>349601
She frowns in thought. "It might partially. There's not a lot in that tube, just enough for one pony. I don't know if something so physically big could be dealt with like that. If we had more, it could be done, probably, though some monsters are notoriously resistant to poison."
>>349602
Not in the slightest, my dear. What's troubling you?

"Anything a pilgrim would need. What are you looking for? And if you don't mind me asking, where are you traveling from?"

Sir, my fellow pilgrims and I seek to bring Celestia the finest offer we could give her. What would a fitting offer? No price is too steep for Her Majesty.
In addition, I would also like some paint to create a grand painting dedicated to the grandest deity."

"Moonstones are literal pieces of the moon. Shards of rock that have traveled to Equestria through the intervening space. New stones are incredibly rare, but it is believed most of the moonstones found in Equestria are the result of an ancient meteor strike on the moon itself, sending shards to us below. They are a relatively rare commodity. As for the hydra… I would use its size against it. Try to find a thin corridor, or use some of those traps if it is viable. If all of that fails, I'd use my lance. I was a dragon hunter, after all."

"Do you remember when we first met, and how I thought your friend Bounder was insane? How would you like to learn how to fight like that, with your hooves, just in case you find yourself without any weapons?"
I'll pull Summer into a small hug.
"It's perfectly alright to be scared, miss… Summer. It's natural, and it's a part of life. But it's how we deal with that fear that makes us into the ponies we are. Your mother's scared too, you know. Scared of losing you, scared she failed you as a mother. But you know what? She's still trying. Still going on even though all seems lost."
I'll give her a smile and tighten the hug for a second.
"It's because she has you, Summer. You are her port in the storm, and she needs you just as much as you need her. So you need to be brave, and keep that bravery burning in your heart. She might be a bit upset about the gun, but she needs to learn that you are growing up, slowly but surely. And in this world, dangerous as it is, you need to be able to take care of yourself if you expect to try and take care of anyone else. One day your mother will understand that."

Just what have you been through, Summer Seas? And just what is waiting for you in the shrine? Moon and stars above, don't let this child suffer.
"Everypony makes mistakes, Summer. That's how you grow up. You make mistakes, you learn, and you grow. Other ponies can share stories of their mistakes, and you can avoid making them."
I'll sigh a bit, then ruffle Summers's mane a little.
"Good choices, and bad choices, and choices in-between, are made all the time. It's how you act on those choices, though, that determine if they're good, bad, or indifferent, though, and why you make those choices. For example, buying that gun. Was it a good choice? A bad one? We won't know until it plays out, Summer. The future, while a great scary thing, can be prepared for."
I'll chuckle.
"But obviously you can't prepare for everything, and you are forced to react to what happens around you. But when the unexpected happens, you can turn to your friends, your family, and those you care for for advice and guidance. They can't do everything for you, of course, but they can help point the way."
"As for hurting others, it is sometimes necessary in order to prevent harm to others. While unpleasant for the most part, you can actually manage to stop a pony without hurting them too much, if you know where to hit. Being a doctor's daughter, you are familiar with anatomy charts and pressure points, correct? Hit the right combination of points or soft spots, and a pony can crumple without feeling a thing. I'll have to admit, I'm more the brute force type of pugilist, but I believe finesse might be for you."
I'll gently start smoothing Summer's mane.
"And so long as I live, Summer, I will do my level best to not only keep you from harm, but make it so that you don't have to harm anypony as well. Now, dry your eyes, and wipe your nose. You'll not want to worry your mother."
I'll grimace.

"Acoustical harmony. Moonbeam omits a second party that echoes the first. In the melody, the plotter saves you, and damns you in the harmony."
That little moment of clarity seems to have tired Gar. He speaks with less vigor now. If you have any more important questions, get them out fast.
>>350364
He spends some time teaching you how to use explosives safely, then hoofs you some sticks of dynamite.
Which in this setting were invented about three years ago. It's cutting edge technology.

"I am, in fact. I do believe this will be my final raid. Not a bad ending point. Autumnsreach… how dangerous it always seemed. In truth, it probably still is."
>>350369
"She's blind, fa one. Fa anodda, she fancies da capta'n and he fancies her back. It is a good love."
>>350370
He doesn't seem physically imposing. Just a goat, but there seems to be something dangerous about him.
You can't seem to find Summer, though.
>>350371
He puffs out his chest, gives a cocky smile, and remarks, "Not a word!"
>>350372
You find some small cloth patches on deck used to fix bullet holes in sails. The hammer is much trickier. Eventually you filch one from the hold. Sure hope this ship doesn't need repairing!

You waste some time asking a plank of wood on deck for directions.
You don't need to roll for this action.
>>350379
He ignores your comment about spanking. "I plan to retire. I have found a mare that I love, and I don't intend to waste that. I've had an eventful life. It's time to let Smitts take command of the Pillager's Fancy."
>>350380
No one seems to be inside. You think you remember seeing him at the helm of the ship, though.
>>350381
You stealthily combat roll… off the deck into the sea. Roll for how bad things go.

"The Commodore has plans for the little one. Ensure she remains safe."

"Piracy is dangerous. For once, I have a greater future to preserve. I don't want to risk my hide getting shot up like I was in Stonebriar. Now I have a mare to think about."

"Isn't that when the water currents underneath the surface of the water pull back out when they break on shore? Which is why you always get knocked down when you try to stand?"

He gestures at the city you're docked at. "Autumnsreach is the headquarters of the Holy Guard, a powerful religious organization that serves Celestia. Angering them would make our lives more difficult, so I plan to deal with this city using finesse."
>>350420
He nods. "Right. You are a grown mare, in spite of the fact that you seem to learn best while a filly. I'm confident you can learn without me. It will simply take time and discipline."
>>350425
She shrugs again. "He may know more, at least."

>>350418
"And who are you, young fellow? Don't believe I've had the pleasure of your acquaintance."

"Blowing up one building would do little. Look at Autumnsreach itself: it's not like Stonebriar. There are no city walls. The housing is not contained and easy to destroy or loot. It's spread out over hundreds of acres. Meanwhile, while Stonebriar had screaming civilians, Autumnsreach is inhabited nigh exclusively by those who know how to fight. A great deal of whom have wings and could follow our ships. We don't have the manpower to fight a few thousand crusaders. We're just three ships."
>>350446
You turn up nothing, but Fervor locates him on the Darklantern in the navigator's chambers.

>>350555
While not the only chapel to law, this is their chapel of deals. There are a number of tables with tellers at them. Ponies request what they want, and goods are brought out of the back. Symbols of Law hang all around.

"She was evacuated to a small settlement outside of Canterlot. No doubt it will suit her. She'll live."

"Necromancers, not warlocks. I suspect in some ways Smitts will make a better captain than I was. I preoccupied myself with apprentices and experiments, practicing my magic and navigation. Smitts has always been about business. He's a good goat. He'll serve well. As for the other question, she actually asked for it."
>>350592
"I'll pass it along."
He turns to Umlock and translates: "Hon säger att hon vill knulla dig."
Thirsty Umlock gives a big, bestial laugh, and pours out a mug full of crude alcohol to hoof to you.
>>350588

"Hon är för liten. Jag skulle bryta henne."
"Kanske kunde hon bara suga av dig?"
"Mina horn, kanske!"
"Hon verkligen inte dricka. Hon är en krympling. Tror du att hon kan dricka cum?"
"Tillräckligt skratt för nu. Vad vill hon? Bara introduktioner?"

The monk returns with a few different hats. They range from cowboy hats to newsboy caps.
>>350661
He scratches his head.

"I gamla dagar, träffade jag en."
"Hur var hon?"
"Diktatorisk. Och hennes kyssar var giftiga."
"Hur hanterade du med henne?"

>>350704
"Alright."
"Hon vill veta hur du kom till den punkten."
"Vad menar du?"
"Var det inte hon misstänksam när du fick nära att dra hjärta?"
"Hon tyckte det var förspel till en början. Hon gillade det grovt."
"Jag kan inte berätta för henne att. Hon tänker jag skämtar."
"Berätta för henne att jag lockade det till att komma nära med … en mycket stor … köttbit."
They both burst out laughing. Through the tears, Sunnyskies attempts, "He… oh ho ho… lured it in with meat."
>>350712
The temple is three floors. It's not completely unguarded aside from the hydra. I feel bad Chip will miss out, though.

With that, he runs you through with a cutlass.
You collapse, bleeding out, and Nurturing Heart comes to your side immediately and closes the wound just in the nick of time. That was painful, but it looks like she proved her worth.

You lay her firm against the mattress and hold her in place with your ample form. Not that you'd need to: she playfully wags her tail in your face before lifting it, presenting herself to you. You pull yourself over her, entering her, eliciting a slight moan as you remind her of her one real function on this boat. To be, essentially your magic healing cocksleeve. You pump into her furiously, reaching around and gripping her tiny member for a handle as you thrust repeatedly. She quakes as your inflating knot rocks her entire body.
You'd rate it around 8/10: Okay.

taking once again a fresh starting point suitable to the matter we must make a fresh start in dealing therewith, just as we did with our previous subjects. We must gain a view of the real nature of fire and water, air and earth, as it was before the birth of Heaven, and the properties they had before that time; for at present no one has as yet declared their generation, but we assume that men know what fire is, and each of these things, and we call them principles and presume that they are elements of the Universe, although in truth they do not so much as deserve to be likened with any likelihood, by the man who has even a grain of sense, to the class of syllables. For the present, however, let our procedure be as follows. We shall not now expound the principle of all things—or their principles, or whatever term we use concerning them; and that solely for this reason, that it is difficult for us to explain our views while keeping to our present method of exposition. You, therefore, ought not to suppose that I should expound them, while as for me—I should never be able to convince myself that I should be right in attempting to undertake so great a task. Strictly adhering, then, to what we previously affirmed, the import of the “likely” account, I will essay (as I did before) to give as “likely” an exposition as any other (nay, more so), regarding both particular things and the totality of things from the very beginning. And as before, so now, at the commencement of our account, we must call upon the Random to bring us safe through a novel and unwonted exposition…
It just keeps going!

When you open the door at the bottom, a few feet of water pours out into the antechamber. You move in and shut the door behind you. It occurs to you that it will probably fill out, mounting pressure against the door, locking you in until tomorrow around noon when the tide is at its lowest again.

You're the first person to help him to his feet. All of the healers ignored him even though he literally was on the door of death. What pricks.
"Thank ya, ya noble quillfish. I think I'm done here."

"It's a long story kid.
Sorry for the show. One day I will tell you why. Later rather than sooner, I hope."

"Master Wark I… I'm sorry. I was merely out of my element. I should have helped you immediately but…"
I sigh
"You saved miss Rosemary's life… If you wish to leave then I am sad to see you go. Otherwise I will do my best to make it up to you… one way or the other."
