PirateQuest: Chapter 3.2: Moon Phases Wf+6 352443

Since everyone was sleepy last time, we'll just say Campfire didn't take the action to trip that tripwire. Continue as if nothing happened.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352448

>>352443
I was trying to convince the dunkey not to be useless.

Light Heart [Warlord] 352449

>>352443
I was waiting for the unicorns to return

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352450

I was standing around the rock pile until Chip gave the all-clear.
I'll refrain from trying to light my horn again until the Anti-magic trap thing has been dealt with.

Wf+6 352452

>>352448
Dunkey says get dunked.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352454

>>352452
"Come the fuck on, you can't do anything or go anywhere anyway! You may as well go all the way and abandon her afterwards if you are really so set on it, but is this how you treat a job?!"

Chip(DD knght) 352457

>>352443
I light a candle.

>>352450
I look at the orange pony
"Could you do me a favor? Can you do that floating thing you just did and let it near the mirror again?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352460

>>352454
"Just leave him be Emrille…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352463

>>352460
"You saw how dangerous it was, and you got hurt even though you tried to stay out of trouble, we need each of us!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352464

>>352457
"If you're certain you'd like to lose another candle…"
And I'll light up my horn, grab the candle, and gently lift it towards the mirror.

352466

>>352452
Go back to the huge room we came in from and have a look around for inscription on the walls or anything out of the ordinary.

Roll #1 8 = 8

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352468

>>352463
"I know it's dangerous but… we can't force him to fight, now can we?"

Wf+6 352470

>>352454
"Enjoy gettin' yerself killed, ya blind turnip."

>>352466
The walls, now lit by candles, show a large number of Lunar symbols. You can see a stairway to the south, much wider than the two you came down to enter Curry's room or this chamber.

>>352464
As the candle passes the pile of rubble into proximity of the mirror, it vanishes.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352472

>>352468
"I'm just saying he won't get shit if he bails on us. I'm just trying to shed some light on his stupidity."

>>352470
"Fine, have it your way, stay here and do nothing at all."

Roll my eyes and head back to the others with Spring.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352474

>>352470
Find Curry.
>>352464
"Hey, any idea where that leads?"
Show him the stairway.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352476

>>352472
I sigh and follow, looking around for Summer

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352478

>>352474
"Oh, that? That's the way down to the second basement. Right across from the bottom of those stairs are the ones that lead to the third basement, and the hydra. The treasury is a bit off to the side on the second basement."

Chip(DD knght) 352481

>>352470
I scratch my head.
"That is very very weird, I heard about unicorns using portals but why waste it on candles.

I grab a rock and throw it in the area where the candle vanishes, see if the rock vanishes on that spot too.

Wf+6 352482

>>352481
It doesn't.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352483

>>352476
I glance at her.
"Try to actually stay out of trouble next time, okay? Like how I did? I hate seeing you getting hurt, and you know I can't heal or help you or anything."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352487

>>352482
I hang back in the big room while Chip looks for traps.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352488

>>352483
"I had to protect Summer."

Felfire [Necromancer] 352489

>>352478
"And just why are we walking down a hallway filled with traps if we have a clear path to the hydra?"
Cock a brow.

Chip(DD knght) 352493

>>352482
"Gaahh… not good."
I stand up, light one of my candles and throw it in the area where I throw the rock, see if it vanishes or if it passes through.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352494

>>352489
"I thought you wanted to see the library."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352495

>>352488
"Then hold her back from trouble or get her on a leash if that's what it takes to stop her from trying to run into her death. How close do you even have to be to heal somepony?"

Wf+6 352496

>>352493
It vanishes.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352499

>>352494
"Shouldn't we kill the hydr- Whatever. Library is fine with me. Ask if you need help."

Chip(DD knght) 352500

>>352496
"Arrghh lightsources always die."
I enter the room without a lightsource(stepping past the tripwire carefully of course) and try to strain my eyes to see if I can detect any traps between me and the mirror.

'1d10+2'

Roll #1 8 + 2 = 10

Light Heart [Warlord] 352501

>>352494
"Perhaps we should deal with the hydra first. It could be that it is guarding a alternative route to the library, no?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352503

>>352501
"Well, the library is up here on the first floor, and the hydra is on the third floor way at the bottom. I don't see how it could be guarding anything except where I need to bring miss Seas."

Wf+6 352505

>>352500
You don't see any.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352506

>>352495
"It's not that easy in battle, Emrille. Healing from afar requires more concentration."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352510

>>352506
"And healing from up close risks your hides. If the ponies who are supposed to keep us alive die, we are all boned."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352516

>>352510
"But if you die, then we can't bring you back!"

Chip(DD knght) 352518

>>352505
Haha time for recklessness.
"I'll approach the mirror!" I call back.
Approach the mirror, can I see my reflection? Where does it stand/hangs on?

Wf+6 352523

>>352518
You can see a vague outline. It's too dark to make out details.

It's affixed to the wall.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352526

>>352516
"That's why we send in the pawns like Curry to take the hits for us and that's why I stay back do my work from a safe distance."

Felfire [Necromancer] 352527

>>352518
"HEY! DOG!"
Call out for him.
"If you avoid killing yourself and help me find some old bones I can send a skeleton in there!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352529

>>352526
"Miss Emrille, I am insulted."
I'll huff a bit.
"I'm a knight piece at least."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352530

>>352510
"It's just not possible to remove yourself from harms way when healing…"

>>352526
I frown at her

Chip(DD knght) 352531

>>352523
Haha… ha.
Grab a crossbow bolt and use it to lightly poke the surface of the mirror.

If solid, see if I can put the mirror down on the floor.

Wf+6 352533

>>352531
It's solid. It seems to be attached to the wall pretty tightly, though. Roll if you want to rip it out.

Chip(DD knght) 352538

>>352533
Here goes nothing
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352541

>>352526
I frown at her.

Wf+6 352546

>>352538
You rip the brick out of the wall. There is no a hole in the wall.

You are holding a brick with a mirror on it in the dark in a trapped corridor.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352548

>>352529
"Take one for the team."

>>352530
>>352541
"He is a fighter, isn't he? You two aren't. I'm just asking you two to try and not get yourself killed, because that would be no good for anypony. Especially me. Okay?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352552

>>352541
>>352530
"Stay back with Seekkill."

Chip(DD knght) 352554

>>352546
Bring the mirror back to the others so that Curry can inspect it.

>>352529
"This looks magical, know anything about it?" I show him the mirror

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352555

>>352548
"I can handle myself in battle if need be. If Summer is in danger, I wont let her get harmed."

>>352552
I sigh
"We'll try."
I look at Summer
"You should be more careful with those miscasts, sweetie…"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352556

>>352555
"I- I know…"
I sniffle.
"It just… it just happens… my magic isn't good enough I guess…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352557

>>352554
"Hmmmm…"
I'll tap the mirror a bit and inspect it. '1d10'
If I fail to find anything suspicious, I'll try to pick it up with telekinesis and look at the other bits of it. '1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3 / Roll #2 9 = 9

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352560

>>352555
"Mis-cast?"

>>352556
"Filly Doctor strong magic."

Wf+6 352562

>>352554
As you carry it back to where other candles are located, they vanish.

>>352557
You pick it up with telekinesis. You don't notice anything out of the ordinary about the mirror.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352564

>>352556
I pat her on the head with a proud smile
"Your magic is great, honey. You're just… you just need some more practice to control it better."

>>352560
"Sometimes a spell can go wrong… it's called a miscast."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352566

>>352555
"You need some sort of shield spell or something, really."

>>352562
"What the… You think we should break that mirror?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352568

>>352562
Hmm. I wonder…
"Mister Chip, if you could stay there for a moment…"
I'll carry the mirror to the far side of the room we're in, but not close enough to hit the other candles.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352575

>>352566
"Break a magic mirror? Do that as far as possible from me, alright?"

Chip(DD knght) 352576

>>352568
I frown, not my candles!
"Alright be careful not to break it. That thing might fetch a price."

Chip(DD knght) 352581

>>352576
With that mirror out of the way, I lit one of my candles and enter the room. Did my candle disappear?

Also how many candles do I still have?

Wf+6 352582

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352585

>>352576
"It's just an experiment to see if your candles come back after I move the mirror."
>>352582
Do they?

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352587

>>352564
"Oh. Explains Island pony hit with lightning."
I cackle.
"Cooked."

Wf+6 352590

>>352585
They do not.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352592

>>352590
Harrumph.
Well, I'll leave it in the northwest corner of the room, well away from the other candles and hopefully out of range of the ones behind the debris wall.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352598

>>352592
"What mirror do?"

Chip(DD knght) 352605

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352606

>>352598
"It seems to eat light."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352609

>>352606
"Take with us. Mirror eat more living fires."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352611

>>352606
"That's… weird."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352612

>>352609
"A good plan, however we would be walking blind. It would eat our lights as well."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352615

>>352609
>>352612
"Can we just… point it in front of us? So it doesn't eat our light?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 352616

>>352609
I wonder if the commodore has the same mirrors in his cabin…
"A good plan, but it will also make us walk through the darkness."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352617

>>352609
"We can deal with those, but we can't see in the dark."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352618

>>352615
"That's just… wait. Miss Spring, if you could bring a candle around the back of the mirror, please?"
And I'll turn it so that the mirror is facing the wall.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352620

>>352618
Ooh! Ooh!
I try to do that!
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352621

>>352618
"I suppose?"
Do as told

Wf+6 352632

>>352581
You have 35 candles left. And yes, any lit candles in proximity of the mirrors vanish.

>>352621
It doesn't disappear. Remember of course that you're not just lifting a mirror. There's a big block of stone attached to the back.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352636

>>352632
"Ha ha, a flash of brilliance, miss Seas!"
Putting the mirror face-down on the floor, I'll give Summer an enthusiastic ruffling of her mane, and then head back over to the debris wall.
"Mister Chip, it seems miss Seas has solved the mirror problem! We should be able to keep things lit up even if we run into another mirror."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352637

>>352632
"See? Good idea."

Felfire [Necromancer] 352638

>>352632
"Hey Chip, give me two candles."
Light and place one on top of each of my shadows, have them walk besides us but far enough for the candles not to disappear.

Chip(DD knght) 352640

>>352632
Err… I know about the mirror, I mean I enter the darkened room with the tripwire trap, lit candle in my paw and see what is beyond the area past the mirror trap.
Got to conserve candles too now.

also rolling to see traps
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Chip(DD knght) 352643

>>352638
Throw her two candles.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352645

>>352632
There's still a pitch black area ahead of us, right?"

Wf+6 352649

>>352640
You can only see the tripwire that you've left untriggered and the hole in the wall where you removed the brick that the mirror was on.

>>352645
It's now slightly illuminated by Chip's candles.

Chip(DD knght) 352650

>>352645
I am exploring it now, I'll give the go signal if its clear(I think)

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352655

>>352636
"I- It worked?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352657

>>352650
>>352649
"Want me to shoot a flare ahead like before?"

Chip(DD knght) 352659

>>352649
Walk past the mirror trap(or where it is supposed to be hoisted) and go beyond the unexplored parts.

Also rolling for trap detection
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352660

>>352655
I smile
"Good thinking, sweetie."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352662

"Alright everyone, carefully over the tripwire now. Unless mister Chip would like to try and disable it without setting it off?"
>>352655
I'll smile.
"It would seem so, miss Seas. Often it is the simplest solution that is overlooked."

Felfire [Necromancer] 352664

>>352643
>>352649
Do that whole thing.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352666

>>352660
>>352662
I smile up at both of them.
"It really worked? My idea worked?!"
I do a little hop of joy.

Chip(DD knght) 352667

>>352655
>>352636
I just turn a cold shoulder.
"Good, just stay there and take care of your mother."

Wf+6 352670

>>352659
You don't see any traps. Your light forges ahead.

You think you can faintly see the end of the passage ahead.

Wf+6 352674

>>352667
As soon as you speak, the floor collapses from under you and you feel a chilling wind from above.

Roll for agility.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352678

>>352670
I follow the other and carefull-
Nope. I stop before the rubble pile when I hear the floor collapse.
"Dead?"

Chip(DD knght) 352683

>>352670
"I'll go forward ponies. I'll report back if all is clear." I call back.

Walk slowly forward toward the end of the corridor, all the while keeping my senses and eyes up to see if there are irregularities on the walls that might signify a trap of some sort.

'1d10+2'

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Chip(DD knght) 352684

>>352678
"Stay there for a moment."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352685

>>352674
>>352683
I'll yank Chip back with TK if he fails his Dodge roll. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352686

Wf+6 352687

>>352683
I'll take that as your agility roll, you fall into the darkness of the pit. You hit the floor. It's… oddly slimy. And metallic.

Wf+6 352689

>>352685
You create a mystic lasso with your TK and manage to drag yourself along with him into the pit. You also slam onto a slimy, metallic floor.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352691

>>352678
Shrug.
"Not for long."
>>352687
Can I send a shadow with wings to pull him up?
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352692

>>352689
Urf.
"Mister Chip, has anyone mentioned you're terribly heavy?"

Chip(DD knght) 352693

>>352687
Arg.
Damnit…
"Hello?" I call out

Look up, how far did I fall?

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352694

>>352687
>>352689
I stand at the entrance of the hole
"Anypony hurt!?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352695

>>352687
>>352689
"Mister Chip! Mister Curry!"
I rush over to the edge of the pit and look down in.
Can I see them?
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352696

>>352687
>>352689
I stay back.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352697

>>352689
>>352687
I groan, and fly to the edge of the pit.
"You okay?"

Chip(DD knght) 352698

>>352694
"I'm fine?"
"I guess?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352700

>>352694
"I think I'm alright for the moment as well."
I'll light my horn. '1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Wf+6 352701

>>352691
The shadow flutters over the hole and jerks unnaturally before smashing down to the bottom on top of the two.

>>352693
It's hard to tell in the dark. You and Curry are both injured, but you'd say probably at least fifteen feet.

>>352695
At the edge of the hole, you can feel a powerful downdraft, but manage to keep from falling. You can see them clearly because Chip has a lit candle which is thankfully not lighting his fur on fire, rolled off to the side.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352702

>>352701
Can I heal them from up here?
'1d10+5'

Roll #1 6 + 5 = 11

Felfire [Necromancer] 352705

>>352701
"What the…" Dismiss that shadow.
IF ONLY WE HAD SOMEPONY WITH WINK!

Chip(DD knght) 352706

>>352701
"What we need is more light."
I held the candle high in the air and see where we are.

If not sufficient light one more and hand it to Curry.

Wf+6 352707

>>352700
You can't quite muster the spark.

…Perception check for Chip and Curry.

>>352702
Chip's feeling better…

Chip(DD knght) 352710

>>352707
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352711

>>352707
'1d10'
Come on now, it has to work eventually! '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4 / Roll #2 5 = 5

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352712

>>352707
"Momma! Do you… oooh! Use your rope!"
I gesture for her to come over here.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352713

>>352701
"We have to seal that thing that blows down the current or we'll never get past."

Wf+6 352715

>>352706
>>352710
You jerk the candle up into the face of a chimera, freshly awoken by the noise of your fall.

"ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRR"

>>352711
Well, ignorance is bliss.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352717

>>352715
"Find monster?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 352718

>>352715
"Well that sounds lovely."
Shoot it from up here with my pistol
Cheap shot

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352719

>>352715
Oh dear. I'll yell up to the unicorns while readying my trident.
"Miss Spring, how good are you and miss Seas at lifting folk?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352720

>>352715
>>352717
And I carefully step over the tripwire and move towards the group.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352721

>>352715
I suppose we can see the chimera as well?
"Heads up!"

Use some air magic to counter the draft from above and hit the monster.
'1d10+3'

Roll #1 9 + 3 = 12

Wf+6 352722

>>352718
Make an agility roll to not fall in the pit while you do so.

352723

>>352715
Oh well.
Raise the shadow of the Chimera.

Roll #1 9 = 9

352725

>>352722

Roll #1 10 = 10

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352726

>>352712
"Right!"
Take out the rope from my bags, is it long enough to reach down there? '1d10'

>>352719
"My telekinesis might not be strong enough to lift you both!"

Roll #1 10 = 10

Chip(DD knght) 352729

>>352715
"Curry, stand up!"
I raise my cudgel and began to attack the creature.
Is it large? do I get a bonus?
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Wf+6 352731

>>352726
>Deciding rope by dice roll
That's not how this works! But it's a 20 foot rope and the drop is 15 feet so it's technically correct.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352732

>>352726
"Well, miss Spring, it's not like we're going anywhere! One at a time is fine!"
And I suppose I'll join Chip in attacking the Chimera.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 8 + 2 = 10

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352740

>>352731
USE THE ROLL TO LIFT THEM UP THEN

"I- Is that a monster down there?!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352742

>>352731
Then use that roll to get that rope secured and down there!

Wf+6 352744

>>352729
It's large but not huge, no bonus. The bonus is also only 1, not 2.

It seems impervious to your attack and slams you against the wall.

>>352732
Though you are certain you hit a weak spot on the neck, you flounder. Get it?

>>352725
You don't fall in, but your bullet pings off harmlessly.

>>352723
The shadow is raised.

>>352721
You pound it back into the shadows, where it licks its wounds, preparing for another round of assault.

>>352742
Rope is secure.

>>352740
That's an agility roll they need to make.

Chip: 3/7 hits, 4/5 wounds
Curry: 5/5 hits, 4/5 wounds

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352747

>>352744
I arrive by the others next to the pit.
"What is it?"

352748

>>352744
"Mhuahahaha!"
Manticore-shadow, attack your former master! Gobble it up!

Roll #1 6 = 6

That's assuming I can't see it. If I can see it I shoot it with a special dart.
Cursed Arrow.

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352750

>>352744
Well, good thing I can fight it with TK and not have to really move. Though that is rather dull… '1d10' for agility, '1d10+2' for fighting if I can keep my hooves under me long enough.

Roll #1 4 = 4 / Roll #2 7 + 2 = 9

352752

Use my telekinesis to help him get up the rope!

I try to assist!

I grunted, I could tough this out.
Raise my cudgel and attack the creature.

Try to fly in and catch her as she inevitably falls down

Also, Rosemary can heal Chip!

Roll #1 3 = 3

Wf+6 352769

>>352748
Though it pounds furiously, it seems to do nothing at all.

>>352749
Your shot staggers it, but you collapse into the pit as a result of the downdraft.

>>352750
It slashes at Curry while he flails with the rope. That hurts!

>>352752
Spring leans in too closely and falls into the pit. Stupid wind!

>>352755
>>352764
You leap after her and both of you crash to the floor. Summer is particularly bad off, and helpless.

>>352762
He surely doesn't return fire, but spreading your wings like a peacock was a bad idea. They catch the airflow and send you tumbling down as well.

>>352761
He brings his terrible paw down upon you, crushing you. You can't tough this one out. You're on the brink of death.

>>352767
She falls in too! It's a falling party.

Correction: Chip has 1/5 wounds instead of 1/0.

352773

>>352769
What the… Seriously? Send my other shadow down there to help too!
Both attack!

Roll #1 7, 4 = 11

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352775

>>352769
Right, to heck with that. It seems to be doing wounds in addition to hits, so I'm just going to murder it before it does too much damage. '1d10+2'
"Quickly, help miss Seas and mister Chip!"

Roll #1 1 + 2 = 3

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352788

>>352785
>>352787
CAN I USE THAT FOR PRAYER OF HEALING INSTEAD PLS

Wf+6 352826

>>352773
Neither of them seems to be doing much good, but one shadow gets pretty scratched up.

>>352775
You stand at the gateway to oblivion. Death calls your name. As you watch this beast gore you to death with its horrible claws, you can only stop to think about how beautiful a creature of the night it is.

0 wounds left.

>>352776
With a brilliant light, you shock your daughter, burning her, as the chimera slashes into your flank, bringing you closer to death.

>>352777
Fortunately, you are ignored in the onslaught.

>>352778
As you close, it bats you out of the way and bites your neck repeatedly.

>>352780
You frantically take shots at eyes, mouth, giblets, neck, and all the traditional weak spots. They ping harmlessly off scales.

Rosemary is gored, going helpless.

>>352781
You think the skies are your ally? This thing was born in them. Molded by them. Okay enough Bane references, it snatches you out of the air, and breaks you over its knee. You didn't even know a Chimera could do that.

>>352785
You pull a Daring Do and grab Spring's rope, swinging down like some sort of archeologist and pull Summer to her feet.

Emrille: 0/5 hits, 3/5 wounds
Light Heart: 5/5 hits, 4/5 wounds
>Rosemary: 0/2 hits, 2/5 wounds
Summer Seas: 0/5 hits, 3/5 wounds
Spring Water: 0/5 hits, 3/5 wounds
Curry: 0/5 hits, 0/5 wounds DEATH IMMINENT
Seekkill: 0/5 hits, 3/5 wounds
Chip: 0/7 hits 1/5 wounds

>>352787
The room, barely lit except for the slightest resistance of Chip's candle, now splayed out on the floor, melting away, is bathed in moonlight. The brilliant, blue-white light absorbs into each of you, and you slowly stand, as the Chimera cowers before the light. The beast flees in the presence of the symbol of the moon, out of what appears to be the door to a cage.

Looks like the slimy metal you were fighting in was this thing's kennel.

Everyone is fully healed. Combat ends.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352838

>>352826
I'll blink for a moment.
"Well, ah, that was quite unexpected."
I'll shakily get to my hooves.
"Mister Chip, are you well? And you others? Miss Seas, are you alright?"

Chip(DD knight) 352840

>>352826
Stand up!

'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352842

>>352826
I sigh and hug Summer
"Thank you sweetie…"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352844

>>352826
I look around. Who is down here and who is still up above?

Felfire [Necromancer] 352845

>>352826
Do I still have the Chimera's shadow with me?
Bring him out of the pit, have him help the other two out of it.

Wf+6 352847

>>352845
Chimeras can't climb rope. He can't fly, just glide.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352848

>>352826
I get up on shaky legs.
"I hate this Temple already…"
Can I fly up against the current?
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Wf+6 352849

>>352844
Everyone is down. Everyone fell except Felfire who came down the rope.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 352850

What's going on oh god fuck I hate oversleeping

Chip(DD knight) 352851

>>352838
"I'm fine."

I look up.
"GRRR!! Damnit its my fault!

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352852

>>352826
I pant heavily, exhausted from the prayer.

>>352842
I return her hug.

Wf+6 352853

>>352848
No.

You attempt to resist the current and collapse on your face.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352855

>>352849
So now I'm reunited with the shadows. Cool. RIDE THE MANTICORE'S SHADOW!

Light Heart [Warlord] 352858

>>352826
I give miss Rosemary a hug. She probably could use some comfort.

352859

>>352849
Does that Cursed Arrow I hit the Chimera with let me feel where it has gone?

Roll #1 2 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352860

>>352851
"Come on now, mister Chip, don't beat yourself up over it. This place is turning out a lot more dangerous than I'd expected!"

Wf+6 352861

>>352850
Let's just say you were able to blink into the temple even after the water filled the staircase.

Mocking Wark is there at the entrance, in Curry's room.

"Looks like yer a bit late for the party, ya winking cauliflower."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352863

>>352853
I rub my muzzle.
"Ow for fuc-"
Let out an irritated groan and look up.
"Felfire! Do something about that vent that's blowing the air down or whatever it is!"

Wf+6 352867

>>352855
A horse riding a chimera? Ridiculous.

And it's a chimera stop saying manticore.

>>352859
Nope.

>>352858
She sighs in relief and returns the hug.

Chip(DD knight) 352870

>>352826
>>352851
Look at the symbol that drives away the creature.
What is it, can I touch it?
"my my…"
'1d10'

>>352860
"It is, and I'm not getting a di…"

I then scratch my head.
"Look, perhaps I am a bit stressed. I still cant believe everyone followed me down here."

Roll #1 10 = 10

Felfire [Necromancer] 352871

>>352867
Ooooh a chimera.
I was so confused.
If I tikle the mane of the lion can I make it roar?

Turn to Summer.
"Hey kid, want a ride?"

Wf+6 352872

>>352870
It has faded with the prayer.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352873

>>352870
"Light more candles. Seek monster. Kill monster."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352875

>>352870
"I didn't follow you, I got blown down by the air. That's why this is a trap."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352876

Wf+6 352878

>>352871
You're tickling the mane of Fervored Freedom.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 352879

>>352861
"Terribly sorry, yes."

Straighten myself up and generally appear ready.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352880

>>352871
"Huh?"
I look up at her curiously, eyed widening as I see the shadow of the chimera.
"Uh… is that… can it even be ridden?"
I tilt my head in confusion.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352881

>>352876
Roll my eyes.
"Still safer than walking, you know."

Wf+6 352882

>>352879
"They took a right down below. Mind the traps."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352883

>>352870
I'll chuckle.
"Well, we didn't exactly follow by choice. It seems that trap managed to get all of us, one way or the other. Still! We managed to drive off that beastie, and live to laugh about it! A good fight in my books."

Felfire [Necromancer] 352885

>>352878
I bet he loves it.
>>352880
"Well I'm doing it! But looks like your momma doesn't want~"

Light Heart [Warlord] 352886

>>352867
"We will get out of here alive, miss Rosemary. Do not worry."
I release her and give her a quick kiss on the cheek

>>352883
"I beg to differ. Now, how do we go about moving on exactly?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352888

>>352886
"We need to get rid of whatever is blowing the current down. I can't fly up like this."

Chip(DD knight) 352889

>>352872
My eyes widen…
Pra…yer.

>>352883
"Curry, perhaps the lunites are the answer to this… I mean their faith to this… Luna…. might be the answer."

I then put a paw on my jaw.
"Well I think, just a guess."

>>352873
Give him a candle.
"Why didnt you guys brought some source of light." I let out a tired breath.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352890

>>352885
I turn to Spring.
"…can I? Pleeease?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352891

>>352886
"Well, we could follow the beast through the cage exit, and possibly bypass any traps. Or we can climb back up and out, and see if we can't make it the rest of the way across the floor."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352893

>>352890
I shake my head
"I don't trust it, honey. I'm sorry. Just hop on my back instead!"

352894

>>352882
Quickly go down, then.

And look for traps just in case.

Roll #1 2 = 2

Chip(DD knight) 352895

>>352891
I shake Curry.
"Did you hear me, perhaps Summer and Spring are the answer."
>>352889

Felfire [Necromancer] 352896

>>352893
"Hey it's not a saveage beast! Fervored is controlling it!"

Seance on Fervored.
"Honey, tell them!"

352897

>>352889
I light the candle off the other burning one and stick it out of the cage.
Do I spot any traps or monsters or trappy monsters?

Roll #1 1 = 1

Light Heart [Warlord] 352899

>>352891
>>352888
I run a hoof through my mane to straighten it
"What an unpleasant choice."

>>352889
"Mister Chip may be right. What if the temple reacts to divine Lunite magic?"

Wf+6 352901

>>352897
You hear a room full of terrible roars and decide to slowly pull the candle back inside.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352902

>>352893
"Just this once? I wanna try…"

>>352899
"Huh? The temple reacts to divine magic?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352904

>>352899
"That would save us a lot of trouble. Let's just get out of this put, okay?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352905

>>352901
"Maybe we go up. Not out."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352906

>>352895
"Well, it's certainly a possibility."
I'll turn to Summer.
"Perhaps you and your mother are the keys in more than one way. Do you still have that moonstone?"

Wf+6 352907

>>352896
"I am."

The Chimera bows.

>>352894
You manage to get into the corridor and trip a tripwire trap. Roll agility to save.

Wf+6 352909

>>352906
It exploded earlier.

Light Heart [Warlord] 352912

>>352902
"It is a possibility, is it not?"

>>352904
"Very well."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352915

>>352909
Blast.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352916

>>352896
>>352907
>>352902
I sigh
"Fine… just be careful… please."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352917

>>352907
I jump back in shock as the shadow speaks.
"Bwah! Y- You can talk?!"

352918

>>352907
CURSES!

Roll #1 5 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 352920

>>352899
"This…. house of*snicker* prayer may be built to be hostile to those who are not loyal to their faith. The traps will trigger only if there is no one praying to their god or something."

>>352907
"It talks, what??"

Felfire [Necromancer] 352921

>>352917
Roll my eyes once more.
I'm doing that a lot lately.
"He's Fervored.
I told you about him! He's my sweetie!"
Smile at her and offer her a hoof to climb up.

Felfire [Necromancer] 352922

>>352920
"Chip, it's Fervored!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352923

>>352920
I'll shoot a glance at Chip.
Well, it seems they're already showing their colors…

Wf+6 352924

>>352917
>>352920
"This is just a form I an inhabiting."

>>352918
You get pounded by water from a hole in the ceiling. You get waterlogged, but manage to finally work your way to your feet.

[/b]Everyone else[/b]
Water starts to trickle into the chamber from the hallway above…

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352925

>>352907
I poke the talking shadow with a claw.
"Talks like pony. Maybe Seekkill should learn shadows."

>>352924
"We need out of hole. Now."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352926

>>352924
I'll look up.
"I'm not the only one who sees water, am I?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 352927

>>352921
"Oh…"
I look at him curiously.

>>352916
"Thank you!"
I give her a quick hug, then take Felfire's hoof and climb on top of him.
"Um… so mister Fervored, you're in all the shadows miss Feelfear, um…"
I do gestures with my hooves trying to act out raising a shadow.
"…brings to life?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 352928

>>352920
I nod
"Yes. And I am certainly no Lunite myself."

>>352924
I look up
"… If it isn't too much of a bother, could we please make our way out of this dreadful please swiftly?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 352929

>>352925
>>352924
Point at the rope.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352931

>>352924
"Damn it. WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST CHIT CHAT ONCE WE ARE OUT?"

FLY OUT GOD DAMNIT

Wf+6 352933

>>352931
You're out.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 352934

>>352929
I climb/fly out of the hole.
Did the thing blowing air get disabled? I'll be back in a bit.

Wf+6 352937

>>352933
>>352931
Corollary: You're out, and you see Borders looking sheepish by a flow of water coming out of the ceiling.

>>352934
It did not.

352938

>>352929
I sigh and try to climb up

Roll #1 5 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 352939

>>352924
>>352922
"Oh… I just mistook you as the… nevermind."

>>352926
I look at Curry as he stares at me.
"What?"

I then scratch my head.
"Look, all I am just saying is that perhaps there are wards here in this place that will react only to the two Lunites presence."

Wf+6 352940

>>352938
You struggle and finally get out after exhausting yourself. The water is really coming steadily now…

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352941

>>352938
I'll give Spring a boost with TK. '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352943

>>352931
Okay.
So look at that vent or whatever.
Any way to disable or block it?

>>352937
>>352918
"What did you do you idiot?"

352944

>>352937
Sigh and have the Chimera move us closer to the rope.
"Kid, this is our stop. End of the ride."

Climb outside with the kid.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Light Heart [Warlord] 352945

>>352931
"Please do calm down, miss Emrille. There is no need to get upset."
I fly up '1d10'
Rosemary can climb up '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9 / Roll #2 5 = 5

Wf+6 352948

>>352944
You can't bring yourself to part with the chimera.

You'd say it was because of the airflow, but between just you and me, Felfire? We both know you're getting addicted to riding him bareback.

>>352945
You both make it, though she's winded at the top.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352949

>>352944
Oh to hell with it. I'm not patient enough for this. Improved TK, everyone out of the hole. '1d10'

Felfire [Necromancer] 352955

>>352948
>>352949
Does this mean the chimera is up too?

Borders Skewed [Mage] 352958

>>352943
"Nothing of note."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352959

>>352952
I smile as and pick her up, then put her on my back again

Wf+6 352962

Emrille [Gunslinger] 352965

>>352958
"You triggered a trap!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 352969

>>352962
And I will squee in joy.
>>352958
Slowly clap at him from the back of my chimera-shadow.
>>352952
"Kid, the train is coming around for another ride!"
Grin at her.

Chip(DD knight) 352971

>>352962
"Guuuhh.." I just breath out.
Go to the passage where I left off and follow it until I go to the end, all the while watching out for traps.

'1d10+2'

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Wf+6 352973

>>352968
Yes. I did post in the wrong thread.

Wf+6 352976

You spot all of the traps as you trigger them all the way to the end.

Make six saves.

Search ahead for more traps with Far Sight.

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 352979

>>352978
You manage to see Chip setting off six traps

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 352980

>>352976
And I'm on cooldown so I can't save him.

Chip(DD knight) 352981

>>352976
What???
No nope of course not, I stop and avoid them first!
Is it still reversible or not?

352983

>>352979
Displace him backwards!

Wink is self only

Spring Water [Charlatan] 352988

>>352973
I have to reply quick okay!?

Borders moves you back before you can kill yourself on all the traps you see.

You only see the first and you don't trigger it, in that case.

You notice a thin film across the hall ahead.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353000

>>352969
"Oh, cool!"

>>352988
"Aww… but it's fun! You're so high up!"

Chip(DD knight) 353007

>>352997
I frown.
"Thanks Border."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353014

>>352997
"Ugh… are there any more traps after these ones? Can we just shoot the Hydra already?"

Chip(DD knight) 353017

>>353014
>>353007
"You are…. ugghh.."

Inspect this thin film on the hallway. Is it some sort of bubble?

"Oh, there's certainly more. After all, we're only mostly down the first hallway!"
Curse that blasted teacher of mine! You could have at least told me where the traps were. And how did that old bat get past them anyway? It's not like she could fly!
"Though… miss Emrille, perhaps you could fly over the rest of the hallway with a light, so that mister Chip may focus on his feet?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353026

>>353024
"How many hallways are there?…"
I shiver.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353028

"More traps?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353030

>>353024
"Fly over there and risk triggering traps that are not tripwires and the sort? Hah, no way."

Wf+6 353032

>>353017
Looks like it.

>>353023
You blunder straight through it, popping it.

The entire party fills a chill as a Greater Reaper materializes before them, brandishing its terrible scythe. It feels as though the life begins draining out of the room.

353034

>>353032
"WHY WOULD THIS PLACE EVEN NEED SO MANY TRAPS"

Displace a stack of bolts into its head!

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353036

>>353026
"Well, let's see… after this, there's supposed to be an open room, similar to the one we just came from. No stairs, however. Should be something in there, with this many traps, though."
>>353023
>>353032
"Miss Heart, what did you do?"
And I'll lift my trident back to a ready position, and launch it at the creature. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 353037

>>353026
"I dont know…" I just let it trail off.
"Ask Curry."

>>353032
I just let out a tired gasp.
"Where do you Lunites get these creatures??"
ready my cudgel to defend the others.

353038

>>353032
Jump off the chimera and send both it and the other shadow at the reaper.

Roll #1 4, 6 = 10

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353040

>>353032
"W-WHY!? IS THIS A TEMPLE OF GROGAR!?"
Quickly back off with Summer on my back

Chip(DD knight) 353042

>>353037
Forgot my roll to attack

Roll #1 7 = 7

353043

>>353032
I hit it with a Cursed Arrow.

Roll #1 1 + 2 = 3

Chip(DD knight) 353045

>>353040
"You tell me, its your temple!" I snorted at Spring.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353046

>>353032
"WHAT? WHAT?!"
Fire shot at it reflexively!
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 9 + 2 = 11

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353047

>>353037
"I don't know!"
>>353040
"I dare say it is not, miss Spring! But I'm also at a loss!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 353048

>>353032
Cheap Shot on the scythe!

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353049

>>353032
"Why… w- what even is that!"

>>353045
"We've never even been here before!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353051

Also, shout at the reaper.
"MINE IS BIGGER!"
While waving my own scythe around.

Make two rolls. One to resist terrify, one to outrun.

'1d10-1'

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5 / Roll #2 1 - 1 = 0

Wf+6 353287

Well, the reaper is obviously stationary, so no need to escape it in that case. Make one roll only.

Come on Emrille, if you can shoot it you can deal with it!

Resist.

Roll #1 10 = 10

Wf+6 353305

>>353289
>>353293
>>353299
You all collapse in terror.

Felfire releases a minion just in time to attempt to raise the shadow of an illusion, which we all know casts no shadow.

>>353298
>>353297
>>353296
>>353295
>>353294
>>353290
All of these guys know what's up. What the fuck would a Greater Reaper be doing in a Lunar Temple?

In fact, Summer laughs it off as the illusion fizzles out into nothingness. Presumably the idea was to get you to accidentally retreat over traps and set them off.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353309

>>353305
I sit down and start laughing.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353311

>>353305
"It seems some of these traps are more tricks than trouble, mister Chip!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353312

>>353305
Oh great. An illusion.
But unless it is in our brain, anything that can be seen casts a shadow.
AAAAAANYWAY.
Get up.
Raise the shadow of a flier.
Mount my chimera once more.
Never talk about this with anypony. Ever.

Chip(DD knight) 353315

>>353305
>>353311
"GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME!!" I cower down the floor.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353317

>>353305
Release a few breaths.
"Okay I'll admit it, that was scary at first. At first."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353318

>>353305
Rolling to resist laughing even harder at the people who got terrified '1d10'

>>353315
"Mister Chip! It's just an illusion! Why would a reaper be in a Lunar Temple?"

Roll #1 10 = 10

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353319

>>353315
I'll give a small chuckle.
"Be calm, mister Chip. It seems it was but an illusion."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353320

>>353315
I start laughing even harder.

Chip(DD knight) 353321

"I nearly had a heart attack…"

Wf+6 353323

>>353321
It's already gone! You attack the darkness.

353324

>>353305
"W-well, I thought it was suspicious that this place had a reaper…"

Rolling to look perfectly calm

Roll #1 5 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 353325

"Wha… what?"
I then stand myself straight trying to pretend nothing happened.
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Light Heart [Warlord] 353326

>>353305
"Well… that was rather silly I suppose."

>>353322
I frown at her
"Tell me about it, miss Spring."

Wf+6 353327

>>353324
Half of your face is frozen in terror. The other looks too cool for school.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353328

>>353312
"Did you get scared too miss Feelfear?"

>>353322
"But it was just an illusion momma! Plain as day!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353330

>>353325
"Well, it's good that that was just an illusion, mister Chip. I'm not too fond of the idea of facing death face to skull just yet."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353331

>>353328
"Let's say I had a bad memory of when I was a filly."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353332

>>353322
I chuckle.
"I was just about to turn around and leg it from here."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353334

>>353325
I poke him
"Brave dog find more traps."

353337

>>353328
Rolling to show the the correct side of my fast

>>353334
I just frown.
Alright, I already hate this place now I am getting a bit mad at it. Lunites sure are wily S.o.a.B
Well they are pony worshippers, I doubt any ponies would like to have dogs as their mothers..
….

Alright back to work.
Walk past the bubble/fear trap and look for more traps. Take it slowly now.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Wf+6 353347

>>353341
You're about to take another step when you notice the light of your candle is glaring off the floor.

It's… smooth and shiny. Like glass.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353350

>>353341
>>353347
"Did you find anything mister Chip?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353353

>>353332
Why did I have to be born to a family of Lunites…
"This temple is starting to stress me out…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353356

>>353353
"Oh, it's just beginning, miss Spring! But by the end of it, it should be well worth the trouble."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353357

>>353353
"It is?… Do you wanna stop and take a rest momma?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353358

>>353353
"You're not the only one. I'm not going through all this again to get to the treasury, so unless we find a trapless shortcut, the Library will have to do."

Chip(DD knight) 353360

>>353347
>>353350
I scratch my head.
Smell whatever this shiny stuff is on the floor but dont touch it.

>>353353
"You tell me." I look at her.
"But I got to tell that you Lunites sure do love to kill or kick out anyone that tresspass your sacred sites." I chuckle.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353362

>>353357
"I'll manage sweetie… but I don't think I'll be visiting another temple any time soon."

>>353356
>>353358
>>353360
"Right…"

Wf+6 353363

>>353360
Smells like the rest of the temple. Salty.

Light Heart [Warlord] 353366

>>353362
I chuckle
"This is why I don't worship. A rather unprofitable occupation in my eyes."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353367

>>353358
"Will have to do for what?"

>>353362
"Okay…"
I wrap my hooves around her neck in a hug.

353368

>>353347
Far sight out to look past us again!

Roll #1 8 = 8

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353369

>>353360
"Well, mister Chip, this being the last might have something to do with that. If any other temples were similarly protected in the ancient days, it seems it didn't do them much good when the Celestials came in to loot them."

Wf+6 353370

>>353368
You see the end of the hallway. That's a free roll.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353372

>>353367
"For reward."

Chip(DD knight) 353373

>>353363
Touch the shiny stuff with my paw.

Wf+6 353375

>>353373
Nothing immediately sinister…

It does feel very slippery, though.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353379

>>353367
I smile, happy to have her closeby, and wait for Chip to clear the way

Chip(DD knight) 353383

>>353375
>>353369
"So ponies graverob their own stuff. Well not that I wont do it myself, still better safe than sorry."
"Also, the floor get slippery beyond this point." I pointed out.

Are there sand in the area if not find some and throw it on the slippery floor to create some sort of unslippery platform(if possible).
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353386

>>353383
"It's not so much the graverobbing that rankled, mister Chip, but the fact it was done by ponies who, for the most part, were considered a sister church. And since they haven't rebuilt a single one, it shows they've no sign of making amends for it."

353388

>>353383
From where I am standing can I see anything that would make it dangerous to fly over the slippery patch of floor he is talking about?

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 353390

>>353383
No sand here. Only stone.

>>353388
You can't see anything.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353394

Can I use my old roll to farsight the slippery floor?

Chip(DD knight) 353397

>>353386
I think for a moment, looks like these celestials are a much bigger A.holes than the Lunites.
"Tell me, what wrong does the Lunites done to the celestials to warrant such actions."

>>353390
Welp, lets test this out.
Walk on all my fours very 'carefully.' on the slippery floor and see how slippery it is.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353398

>>353390
Can my Chimera shadow glide with me on top past the slippery floor?
Just theoretically, I mean.

Roll #1 3 = 3

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353406

>>353397
"Well, that's quite old history. Nearly nine centuries ago, Luna, the Moon Princess, was consumed by jealousy over how her sister, Celestia the Sun Princess, was regarded so highly. Ponies never stayed awake for her nights, despite all she had done, and the boon she gave to navigators and seafarers was largely ignored. So, like anyone who had been spurned for hundreds of years, she went mad, and laid waste to a fair swath of countryside. Celestia was forced to imprison her in the moon, and her temples were summarily overrun by monsters or sacked. Sometimes both."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353410

>>353406
I glance at Spring and Summer.

Chip(DD knight) 353412

>>353406
"Oh… I see."
I mused for a moment.

"A mad… God?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353414

>>353406
I frown and droop my head on Spring's back, folding down my ears as well.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353416

>>353412
"She wasn't always that way. The night sky was her canvas, and she its artist. As I said, centuries of jealousy can weigh upon the mind. Even on that of a Princess."

You slide across the floor and collapse across another tripwire.

Roll for how bad it goes.

The hallway isn't big enough for it to spread its wings.

You get a lead that takes you to the Chapel of Deals.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353419

"And now anypony that still worships her is almost considered wicked… because of that Nightmare."
I sigh

Tasia [Paladin] 353421

Roll #1 4 = 4

Chip(DD knight) 353423

>>353416
I think for a moment.
"Well I do know how to get jeolous from time to time so I can relate to thaaaAAAA!!!"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353426

>>353419
"Foolish, aren't they? Had some sunners knock on my door before. I just had them teleported away."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353429

>>353419
I'll nod.
"Indeed. After that Darkest Night, many formerly peaceful communities turned against the Lunar Priests that still operated according to the tenets of their original mission, and those that weren't run out were likely killed on sight."
And then I see Chip sliding away, since he's certainly making some noise.
Can I rescue him with magic? '1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353430

>>353406
>>353429
I give an impressed whistle.

Damn it!

Can I Wink him back?

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353439

>>353425
"Ponies are just ignorant, Emrille. And they can say the stupidest things about stuff they don't know about…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353442

>>353439
"Hey, you can believe in her and everything, just don't follow the going mad example, okay?"

Wf+6 353443

>>353421
You can't gather much information, but one of the clerks remembers seeing a bronze-winged pegasus. He mentions she was with a filly that was hunting a hydra.

>>353423
As soon as the wire trips, you find yourself slammed to the ground and you can't move.

>>353429
Curry drags Chip out with telekinesis.

>>353433
He's too far away.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353444

>>353439
"Yeah. I mean, look at me. I say I worship Grogar and suddenly ponies run scared! I'm not going to blow them up just like that!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353446

>>353429
I sadly nod.
"Even now some ponies still don't like Luna… back home, some ponies would always come by and talk to my momma… she always sent me outside to play, but I could hear the yelling."

Tasia [Paladin] 353448

>>353443
"Hunting a WHAT!? D-Do you know where they went?"
if he doesn't then ask around as to where this foolhardy pony went WITH A FILLY '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353449

>>353444
I'll raise an eyebrow fairly high at that.
"Well, Grogar has pretty much always been considered an evil deity, miss Felfire, and as such any who follow him. However, from what I've seen you're not… completely evil, so I suppose you should be alright. For now. Unless you do something truly terrible."

Chip(DD knight) 353452

>>353429

I then look at Curry.
"Thanks for pulling me out there."

I close my eyes and sigh as she mentions that

Roll #1 10 + 2 = 12

Wf+6 353455

>>353448
He shrugs. "I didn't think they were serious. They said they were hunting a hydra. I gave her a lollipop instead of a weapon. Fillies shouldn't fight hydras."

>>353453
He feels better.

>>353452
Summer got you up.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353458

>>353444
"Well.. Grogar IS known for taking over an enslaving he mythical Kingdom of Tambelon, so there's a stigma to that."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353460

>>353452
"No problem at all, mister Chip. Just glad I caught you in time before something terrible did."

Tasia [Paladin] 353461

>>353455
"Hydra or not I need to look after the wellbeing of those pilgrims! "
rub my forehead
"Ok.. ok can you tell me at least where they went? Point me the direction they were going in?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353462

>>353449
>>353453
I hug Spring a bit tighter.
"And when I went back inside the place was always a mess… like they just tossed everything around…"

Chip(DD knight) 353464

>>353453
I nod to Spring.
"Thanks."

>>353455
>>353455
Time to work.
Using my engineering skills. I get some of the bricks that are lying around and create some stepping stones on the slippery floor for ponies to pass. Make sure it is secure.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353467

>>353449
>>353453
>>353458
Grumble a bit.
"Well without Grogar and the art he gifted us I'd not be here today.
Most of the ponies in this room wouldn't, actually…"

Wf+6 353469

>>353461
"Last I saw, they were headed out to the shore. That's the best lead I've got. I didn't stalk them or anything."

>>353464
Well, with a grunt you jerk some bricks out of the wall, and you set some stones on it, but that just makes a slippery stone path.

So instead you start throwing bricks at the floor like a brickbarian. It shatters, and is possible to walk across safely, though probably painfully.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353470

>>353467
I roll my eyes
"It's not even proven that resurrection was gifted by Grogar."

>>353462
"They were bad ponies, sweetie…"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353471

>>353467
"Whoever told you Necromancy was Grogar's?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353472

>>353467
"That's why I said 'not completely,' miss Felfire. You have done me no personal wrong, so I don't feel the need to be harsh with you. Let's hope I never do."

Tasia [Paladin] 353474

"Those books are miss Seas's, as I said, so you'd have to take it up with her. However, if we manage to finish up before the tide goes out, you should have plenty of time to roost there for the night."

Wf+6 353484

>>353481
You scratch a few runes from the temple on your island into the floor.

>>353480
You control yourself.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353488

>>353482
>>353484
"See any traps, dog?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353490

>>353483
"At this pace?"
Smirk.
"Suuuuure I will…"
Kick back and relax on top of my shadow chimera, slowly petting its mane.

Chip(DD knight) 353491

>>353472
>>353488
I look away.
"Not yet Seek."

I then shout.
"Border, there is something far down there. What do your pony eyes see?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353493

>>353476
"I very much doubt so."

>>353483
"I wonder how many books there will be… hopefully they'll still be in a reasonable state."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353495

>>353493
"Yeah, I hope that too."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353496

>>353493
"So… It was all a necromancer's doing?"
Giggle a bit.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353500

>>353476
"Ah, so you'd believe a Conpony if he SWORE he wasn't lying? And I'd like those books very much."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353501

>>353493
"Well, their unique situation has kept them safe from the tide, and up until my teacher returned the last one they were still in useable condition. Perhaps something about the cave preserved them? Or perhaps the former keepers busied themselves with rewriting the tomes instead of clearing out the hydra."

Wf+6 353503

>>353486
Your amazing tracking skills lead you down the beach. There aren't hoof-prints, but you follow a hunch.

As you continue down along the shore, you notice something very odd. There's a… flock?… of red lillies migrating across the surface of the water back toward the docks. You look back to their point of origin, and you see a big pack of them perched on the top of carved stone… roof? Out at sea. The rest of the structure seems submerged.

…They didn't go in there, did they?

Chip(DD knight) 353505

>>353491

>>353500
"Border, a little help?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353506

>>353500
"Necromancy books? Because those are the only ones I will care about.
And by how you talk, it's obvious you don't understand how even something as basic as communing works."

Right!

Roll #1 10 = 10

Wf+6 353514

You spot three rather obvious traps: a loose brick, another tripwire, and some sort of… vent.

The fourth one is the worst, though: there appears to be some kind of… serpent woman statue. Roll a will save.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353521

"What did you see?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353522

>>353518
Laugh wholeheartedly.
"When it is?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353525

>>353518
"What?"

Wf+6 353526

>>353516
You swim out to the temple roof.

…Looks like, down in the submerged depths of the stairs, there's a door. It opens inward… if you can swim down there, you can probably open it.

>>353518
You resist it, and turn your eyes away from it immediately.

Chip(DD knight) 353527

>>353518
"Are you alright?" I look at Border

353530

>>353520
>>353522

"Three rather obvious traps: a loose brick, another tripwire, and some sort of… vent.

"Or Serpent Mare? Regardless, if any of you like females, I suggest blindfolding yourselves. don't look at it."

Roll #1 2 = 2

Felfire [Necromancer] 353533

>>353530
"Well depends doc.
Is it alive or is it dead? Decaying? Exposed organs? Dying?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353534

>>353530
"Well we can't bloody blindfold ourselves, Bounder, if we expect to get past the other traps. What's so special about that statue?"

Chip(DD knight) 353535

>>353530
"Does she look hot?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353536

>>353530
I chuckle.
"You sure about that last part?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353537

>>353530
"Blindfold? Why do we need blindfolds?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353538

>>353530
"Don't tell me…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353539

>>353537
"Only if you like mares, kid."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353542

>>353538
"Don't tell you… what exactly?"

Tasia [Paladin] 353543

>>353526
ugh, use my wings to help me swim!

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353545

>>353535
>>353536
>>353538
"It'll probably control your minds, or otherwise warp your will through a meme-based mechanism. Just don't look at it, and we'll be fine. Let the um, people who like males lead for now. And yes, it's hot. Stunningly so. I could barely save myself."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353548

>>353546
"Why not just use the mirror we left in the other room?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 353549

>>353546
I chuckle
"My my, I believe miss Rosemary and I would be wise to avert our gazes then."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353550

>>353530
>>353546
"Seekkill only like gryphon feem-ales. Seekkill safe?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353551

>>353545
Shrug.
"You might want to.
Better safe than sorry, no?
Come up here, I have a solution."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353553

>>353546
"Damn… why does the hot one have to be a trap?"

Chip(DD knight) 353554

>>353546
"Then count me out, but you still have to point out the traps that is laid out so the others wont get caught on it."

>>353548
"Hey thats an idea."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353556

>>353542
"Nothing…"

>>353545
"Summer… she means liking mares."
I whisper in her ear
Romantically

Wf+6 353557

>>353549
She just blushes.

"I don't like snakes… Not like you."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353560

>>353548
"It.. hmm. Lateral inversion may dissipate the effect, or it may be completely useless. I was thinking of just using my lenses and dirtying them so I can't see properly, but that might not work either."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353563

>>353556
"It didn't sound like nothing to me."

Light Heart [Warlord] 353564

>>353557
"Still, better save then sorry, don't you think?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 353565

>>353564
"Still, better safe than sorry, don't you think?"*

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353568

>>353560
"Well, Bounder, I've no idea what you just said, but I think it's worth a shot. Remember, we douse the lights until everyone is behind the mirror, otherwise they'll vanish."
And then I'll go fetch it.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353569

>>353560
"Bighead Unicorn do that. Seekkill hit if not work."

Wf+6 353570

>>353543
You propel yourself to the bottom and kick open the door with paladin strength! So fierce.

You barely manage to shut the door behind you against the flow of water.

There's a donkey in this room. The water has flowed down another flight of stairs in front of you.

"Another one? Oi."

Wf+6 353571

>>353565
"If you say so."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353572

>>353563
"Well… there are stories about these kinds of things, you know."

Tasia [Paladin] 353575

>>353570
"Oi yourself!"
look around '1d10'
"Did a pegasus with copper wings and a filly come by here?"

Roll #1 2 = 2

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353576

"You know I'm not too well versed on this whole Lunatic Moon Mythology thing."

Chip(DD knight) 353578

>>353560
"So who do you think shall lead then if that is the case?"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353579

>>353550
"No, sorry, I don't think you are safe."

"ANYWAY, don't we have ANYONE here who doesn't like mares?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353580

>>353579
"I don't."

Wf+6 353581

>>353575
He nods.

"That cranky shadow-meddler wandered off with the rest of their troupe. They went down the stairs, and took a right. Mind the traps down there, ya gilded songbird."

Tasia [Paladin] 353584

>>353581
nod then head off in that direction, mumbling something about pilgrims and tourism

alright he said there were traps, keep an eye out for them! '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Chip(DD knight) 353586

>>353579
"Not me."
I look around…..
"Spring, Summer, Lighheart possibly, Rose….. "

"them?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353588

>>353576
"Well I'm sure we don't need to worry…"

>>353579
I stay quiet

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353590

>>353588
"If you say so."

>>353586
"I don't really want to risk the healers going in first."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353591

>>353580
"Right. Could you, uh, go down and make a safe route to the next room?"

Chip(DD knight) 353593

>>353590
"Me too."
"Hey you like stallions right?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353595

>>353591
Sigh.
"So, recount me where the traps are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353597

>>353593
I shrug with a grin but say nothing.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353598

>>353593
"If I am any indication, mister Chip, she does not."

Wf+6 353601

>>353584
Lucky for you there are no traps up to how far you can progress.

You reach a big pit that takes up the entirety of the hallway. On the other side, you can see the group holding up candles. You have the element of surprise: you're shrouded in dark. You see copper wings glimmer.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353603

>>353595
"Look out for a tripwire, a vent, and a loose brick. If you need me to see down there again, well… I'd rather not."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353604

>>353598
I roll my eyes.
"I definitely do not like you, that's for sure."

Tasia [Paladin] 353606

>>353601

On topper of a shadow chimera, I might add.

"If this is getting me killed… You pay Terrebonne for me!"

Dismount Fervored.
Start walking slowly down the path with a candle in my hoof, and be aware of the traps I've been told about.
Pls don't make me roll!

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353609

>>353604
"You strike me to the quick, miss Emrille. I thought we were at least friendly rivals."

Light Heart [Warlord] 353610

>>353604
I chuckle
"You are quite chaste, miss Emrille."

Wf+6 353611

>>353606
The downdraft over the pit causes you to fall down inside, into the dark.

>>353608
Did you bring a light? This is important.

"There's a kid here, it's not polite to talk about this stuff."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353617

"I'm not that young!…"
I pout.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353618

>>353614

Am I hearing of this or am I too distracted by the goings on around me?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353621

>>353617
"But you are… young." I stare at Summer then look away.

Light Heart [Warlord] 353627

>>353616
"You are quite right, yes. I shall refrain from saying anything more on the matter."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353628

>>353623
"Wha-"
Don't look back.
"STAY THERE! WAIT!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353629

>>353623
I'll swing about and hold my trident aimed at her.
"Who goes there? And how did you find this place!?"

Wf+6 353630

Doesn't matter as of: >>353623

No matter the shape.

"Maybe so, but still too young for this."

Tasia [Paladin] 353634

pull my blunderbuss at him

"Don't you dare, Pilgrim! Put your weapon away! I dont' mean you harm but I won't put a second thought if you charge me!"
>>353628
"What, are you doing here!? This is not window shopping miss!"

Wf+6 353635

>>353631
Well, you safely traverse to the other side of the statue while everyone else looks away.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353636

>>353634
"You will answer me this. You come into my home, and then into this place, and you demand I step aside to let you do so? I ask you again, how did you find this place?"

Chip(DD knight) 353639

>>353634
I raise my paws.
"Whoa calm down or else you will trigger some traps fool!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353640

>>353634
"Lady Tasia, this is a very dangerous place. We are trying to… Uh… HEARN OUR REDEMPTION!"
>>353635
Okay, then look at this statue. From behind.
What's its shape, can I move it, knock it down or anything else?

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353641

>>353639
"Bravedog is right. Shut up."

Wf+6 353642

>>353640
It's a statue made out of stone. It looks affixed to the floor.

Tasia [Paladin] 353645

>>353636
"I'll give no such allowance t- "
>>353640
give her a shocked look
"Wha- Why would you attempt this in the underbelly of Autumsreach!? Princess Celestia doesn't require such a drastic show of loyalty!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353647

>>353621
"How old are you mister Curry?"

>>353625
>>353626
>>353633
I pout.

>>353642
"Is it safe to come across miss Feelfear?"
I shout over to her.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353648

>>353647
"NO KID! WAIT!"
>>353642
Does it have a 'face'?

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353651

>>353634
"Ah.. I am afraid that if you hurt anyone here, things will get complicated. Quite complicated. Please put that away."

Chip(DD knight) 353652

>>353647
I hold Summers back.
"Stay little pony, you may get hurt."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353653

>>353647
I ruffle her mane.
"You are still mature for your age, don't worry."

Light Heart [Warlord] 353654

>>353645
"Miss… Tasia? Is it? Please, this place is not quite safe. It would be advisable for you to calm down and lower your weapons."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353655

>>353645
"A Celestial. I should have guessed."
I'll glare at the others.
"Got here a bit sooner than you'd hoped, I wager."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353657

>>353655
"What?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353658

>>353652
She's on my back still
I glare at him as he approaches my daughter and I
"Don't touch us."

Wf+6 353659

>>353648
It has a head. You can't see the face from here.

Chip(DD knight) 353661

>>353655
I look at Curry in alarm then look back at this new comer.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353663

>>353657
"Followers of the Sun Princess, and the reason there are a no such thing as Lunar Temples anymore."

Tasia [Paladin] 353664

>>353651
>>353654
"This isn't a safe place to begin with. You should return to the surface immediately! Armed or not, you pilgrims should not be risking yourselves down here. What are you looking to find anyways?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353666

>>353659
Raise my own shadow with Magenta in it.
Wrap it arond the head of the statue.
Magenta is asexual!

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353668

>>353663
"Kill them back."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353669

>>353664
"You have not answered my question, Celestial. How did you find this place?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 353670

>>353663
"I for one, did not inform any celestials about this place."

>>353664
"I don't believe that is any of your concern, miss Tasia."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353671

>>353664
"It's a long story. We'll be fine, don't worry your little head."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353673

>>353664
"We have to be down here! I-"
I shut my mouth as I remember she's a Celestial.

"Pil-grim?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353683

>>353679
"Who are you anyway?"

Wf+6 353684

>>353666
Okay, but shadows aren't opaque, especially as candles approach.

Light Heart [Warlord] 353687

>>353679
I move closer to Curry
"I propose we take her out."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353688

>>353668
"That would only prove them right."
>>353676
"My home was. Now how did you find it you stupid…"
Breathe deep, Curry.
"Answer me, Celestial, or I swear to your princess that I will kill you for coming here."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353692

>>353684
Fine.
Is there anything I can place in front of said statue to block its gaze?

"Miss Tasia please, stop struggling. We are merely trying to ensure you do not set off any traps."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353718

I'll glare daggers at Felfire.
"She came into my home, into my shrine, and I did not let her in. That means she came in after. I want to know how, and who led her here."

"No!"

Speak to everyone.
"Beware the traps! Don't look at the statue, I will stand in front of it!"

Stand in front of the statue, giving the head my back.

Chip(DD knight) 353730

>>353723
>>353728
I look at Lightheart.
"She knows we are pirates? This is bad."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353737

>>353729
I disjointedly scuff at the ground with a claw.
"Where traps?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353739

>>353729
I will glare at her further.
"That still doesn't answer how she found this place. At this time of day, it is completely submerged. It should be invisible to those on shore. So how did she find it?"

Chip(DD knight) 353740

>>353729
I stand still for a moment.
"Time to move ponies."

I start to walk towards Felfire avoiding the traps and not looking at the statue.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353741

>>353739
"Maybe she's a mage?"
Give him a flat stare.
>>353737
Point him to the traps.
"Don't look at the statue."

Tasia [Paladin] 353743

I don't know when the next turn is gonna happen so I'll make my roll to escape/bash my head into the must now '1d10'

I'm out.

Roll #1 5 = 5

Light Heart [Warlord] 353744

>>353721
I sigh and follow, taking Summer along and averting my gaze from the statue
"That mare is crazy…"

Tasia [Paladin] 353746

>>353743
DAMN IT RNG '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353747

>>353740
>>353741
I watch where he walks and follow in his pawsteps, being careful to not trigger any traps and keep my eyes on the floor.

Wf+6 353749

>>353743
>>353746
Presumably they knock you out and you're unconscious. You can just nap here, tied up for now.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353752

>>353741
"A mage would be wearing flashier clothing, like miss Emrille. That Celestial is no mage."
I'll snap my trident back over to me.
"And we are not done here, miss Felfire. You seem too vested in that Celestial's interests."

Wf+6 353753

>>353747
>>353744
>>353740
You find a door labeled, "Gallery".

Felfire [Necromancer] 353755

>>353752
"Come over here and I will tell you why, big walking lump of stupid."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353757

>>353739
>>353752
"Come now. I am a mage, yet how am I dressed? just a utilitarian robe, is it not?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353759

>>353753
"So… do we go in or is it trapped too?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353760

>>353753
"Gallery? What's in there?"
I push on the door.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353761

353764

>>353753
Do I see any traps on the door?

Roll #1 2 = 2

Felfire [Necromancer] 353765

>>353759
Snicker.
"Do you even have to ask?"
>>353760
"STOP!"
Send a shadow to stop her!
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Wf+6 353766

>>353764
No.

>>353760
It's jammed.

Chip(DD knight) 353767

>>353753
"Gal..leer reee.." I read slowly.
I then…


>>353760
"NO!"
Stop Summer from doing that1
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Wf+6 353768

>>353765
>>353767
You beat up an innocent kid. Summer takes 2 hits.

Chip(DD knight) 353769

>>353753
"Gal..leer reee.." I read slowly.
I then…


>>353760
"NO!"
Stop Summer from doing that1
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353770

>>353760
Pick her up and put her back onto my back with a sigh
"Stay up there sweetie."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353771

>>353757
"Your hat is eccentric enough for the entire outfit."
>>353755
"I'm not so foolish as to trust any of you now, save miss Seas and Spring. Someone led that Celestial here, and until I find out who, the entire lot of you are under suspicion."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353773

>>353768
And I glower at Chip and Felfire for hurting her

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353775

>>353767
>>353765
"What the fuck, guys?! You could have just said it."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353776

>>353768
Don't be stupid, I said stop.
As in, hold in place.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353777

>>353768
"Ow! Ow! Stoooop!"
I rub my bruises.

Light Heart [Warlord] 353778

>>353771
"Please, mister Curry. Your wounds hurt me greatly."

Wf+6 353779

>>353776
You don't have suppress, so you can only deal one hit instead of 5.

Chip(DD knight) 353780

>>353775
>>353773
I scratch my head.
"I..what… errr.. uhmmm… she might trigger a trap on the door!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353781

>>353773
>>353775
I didn't hurt anyone.
That was a 8 to STOPPING her, not hitting her.
If this in wf's tongue means "Beat up the filly with my shadow" then fuck it and just ignore it.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353783

>>353780
>>353781
I narrow my eyes at them
"Don't touch my daughter. Or I will hurt you."

>>353777
Heal her bruises '1d10+2'

Roll #1 9 + 2 = 11

Felfire [Necromancer] 353785

>>353783
Yeah fuck you too.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353787

>>353778
"Miss Heart, until I am certain of who betrayed my trust, what other course of action can I take than to hold all involved under suspicion?"

Wf+6 353788

>>353783
They're not BRUISES. They're just hits. Not even enough to knock her off her feet.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353789

>>353771
"..What? I-oh."

Put away my top hat because I didn't realise I was wearing it

Light Heart [Warlord] 353790

>>353778
>Wounds
words rather

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353793

>>353789
"Why don't you just use your fancy magic and look ahead instead so we can get a move on?"

Chip(DD knight) 353794

>>353777
I breath in deep and breath out to relieve stress.
"Please Summer, let us go first. You might get hurt badly if you do something like that."

>>353783
I look at Spring.
"I am just keeping your daughter safe, she might trigger a trap."

I look down with frown. Inner monolouge.
She hurt me more from the inside, but you dont know that.

I wipe away the mist forming in my eyes. Then check the door for traps.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353796

"What now?"

Wf+6 353799

>>353794
No traps. It's just jammed.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353800

>>353794
"That's fine. Just don't touch her."

Chip(DD knight) 353802

>>353799
Try to see if I can unjam it.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353804

>>353793
"..right. hold me down just in case."

Steel myself and Astral Project through.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353806

"Stand aside, everypony."
Get off my chimera.
"I've got a ram."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353807

>>353794
Seeing their reactions, I wince and sigh and walk around Spring over to them, giving them both hugs.
"It's okay mister Chip and miss Feelfear… you didn't mean it."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353808

>>353806
I move aside.

Wf+6 353811

>>353804
You're having trouble scrying in the temple. It gives you a headache. Farsight seems unaffected by this.

>>353802
Looks like no.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353812

>>353807
"Just, stay back with your momma. Okay?"
>>353808
Placing my chimera in front of the door.
About to send it ramming against it.

Chip(DD knight) 353814

>>353807
I give a out a slight smile.
"I… "
"sorry for that Summer."

>>353800
And look at Spring with my paws hugging Summer.

>>353812
>>353806
With that I move Summer aside and let Felfire do her thing.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353816

>>353807
I roll my eyes and pick her up to put back onto my back when she's done

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353817

>>353811
"I can't look through opaque objects! Someone needs to open the door."

>>353806
"Yes, that will do."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353818

And then the chimera rammed into the door.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

353819

>>353818
And again.

Roll #1 3 = 3

Wf+6 353822

>>353818
>>353819
You're doing more damage to the shadow than that antique door.

353823

>>353822
But it's a raaaam!

Roll #1 3 = 3

Chip(DD knight) 353824

>>353823
>>353818
>>353819
"Uhhh…. is it working?"

Wf+6 353825

>>353823
Sweetie… I don't think this is working.

353826

>>353822
Can I see any devices that look like they would open the door?

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353829

>>353823
>>353824
"We could try burning it down."

Wf+6 353830

>>353826
There's a handle on the door, but someone already tried that.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353831

>>353829
"OOOOOR freezing then shattering it!"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353832

>>353818
>>353819
Is there a large heavy object around?

Felfire [Necromancer] 353833

>>353825
Sad. Cold.
>>353829
Step aside and mount the chimera again.

Can I heal the shadow somehow?

Light Heart [Warlord] 353834

>>353831
"Perhaps a secret passage word will open it."

Wf+6 353836

>>353833
There's a skill for it later. Unlike corpses, shadows can be repaired without a Resurrect Minion.

Chip(DD knight) 353837

>>353834
"Perhaps….. " I look at LH.
"I dont know, that Lunite magic on that Chimera worked. Do their prayers work here too perhaps?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353838

>>353834
>>353833
"Wait, let me try this first."
Frost shot at the door to freeze it.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353839

>>353834
"Maybe magic?"
I try to just… give the door a magic spark.
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353840

>>353837
"Yes. Pray door open."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353841

I'll be with the others, I suppose. The Celestial I'll leave tied up against the wall for now. I've got all night to interrogate her, after all.
"What seems to be the problem? Door jammed? Let me have a crack at it."
And I'll slam it open with improved TK. '1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Wf+6 353842

>>353838
>>353839
The party is stopped universally by the door. Looks like you have finally been defeated.

353843

>>353839
I try the same

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 353844

>>353841
What an embarassment as a temple keeper.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353845

>>353832
Look for an object that looks like it would be thicker than the door.

'1d10' if needed

Roll #1 10 = 10

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353846

>>353842
"Urgh!"
Fire shot!
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353847

>>353844
Grumble grumble.
"Outta the way, give me a moment."
I'll move my way up to the door.
"One side, please."
And then I'll buck it open, fighting the door. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 353848

>>353842
I look at the hinges, is there a way I can fix it?

or fix it with my fist somehow?
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 5 + 2 = 7

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353849

>>353842
Uh
Try praying at it?
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

353850

>>353849
Again, I join her

Roll #1 8 = 8

Wf+6 353851

>>353843
What a disaster! You pound on the door fruitlessly.

>>353845
You don't see anything around here. There were those bricks, you guess.

>>353846
The heat isn't high enough for the flash point of wood, but you bury a good piece of hot metal in it. It smokes a little.

>>353847
You buck it repeatedly and come up with nothing.

>>353849
>>353850
Your prayers go unheeded by the God of Rusted Hinges.

>>353848
You just punch the whole thing down. Fuck everything!

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353853

>>353851
"About blasted time. Thank you, mister Chip."

Chip(DD knight) 353854

>>353851
"wha??"
Did I bring it down?

Chip(DD knight) 353855

>>353853
"Wow…. I mean.. YEAH!!" I stand proudly.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353856

>>353851
"I'm seriously getting fed up with this place."

Wf+6 353857

>>353854
Yes. You peer into the room. It's pitch black, but it's another antechamber. Big. You can feel more of an air current in here.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353858

>>353851
I clap at Chip's success.
"Hurray, you got it mister Chip!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353860

>>353856
"Indeed. It will certainly require serious remodeling once we're through, and it should be more… friendly."
Through the door I go.

Chip(DD knight) 353861

>>353857
Okay lit my candle and enter slowly looking for traps.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 1 + 2 = 3

353862

>>353857
I take a lit candle and hold it into the room.
Do I see any traps?

Roll #1 1 = 1

353863

>>353851
"Well, thank goodness."

Farsight down.

Roll #1 4 = 4

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353864

>>353856
I sigh
"You and I both…"

Wait for everyone else to enter

Felfire [Necromancer] 353865

>>353861
>>353862
Save those two poor saps.
Wink one of them away.
Pls.

Wf+6 353866

>>353861
You hold the candle next to your face and light your face on fire. Screaming, you trip over Seekkill who has blundered into you, dropping your candle.

>>353862
You blunder into Chip, knocking the both of you over, and letting a candle fall on top of you.

You are both lying on the ground on fire in a heap. This would be a compromising position if not for the fire. But don't ask me if it's hot. Because this is literally very hot.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353867

>>353864
Walk in with her.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353869

>>353866
"EMRILLE! FROST SHOT!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353870

>>353866
I gasp and move in to put out the fire and heal them '1d10+2'

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Chip(DD knight) 353871

>>353866
Roll over roll over.
And stand up
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353872

>>353866
Good thing I'm already inside the gallery.
But I suppose I should try extinguishing them. '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

353873

>>353866
I roll around and try to put myself out.

Roll #1 6 = 6

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353874

>>353869
"I'm not going to shoot them with an icy bullet"

Wf+6 353875

>>353873
>>353871
You're up, but burning.

>>353870
You put out… '1d2'

>>353874
Wise choice.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Felfire [Necromancer] 353876

>>353874
"The ground!"

Wf+6 353877

>>353875
You put out Chip! We all knew you liked him! What a sport. He's definitely not a pedophile.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353879

>>353866
W-what?

>>353874
"Shoot elsewhere! I'll catch it!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353880

>>353875
Heal Seekkill!
'1d10+5'

Roll #1 2 + 5 = 7

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353881

>>353876
>>353879
Fire a Frost Shot in the air then.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 9 + 2 = 11

Wf+6 353882

>>353880
Okay, he's out too.

353883

>>353881
Grab it with telekinesis!

Roll #1 5 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 353884

>>353877
Of course not, I just like hugging… and stuff.

Now lets do this, walk in slowly and look for traps inside the gallery.

'1d10+2'

Roll #1 9 + 2 = 11

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353886

>>353882
So… how dark is it inside the gallery anyway? Pitch black?
Stupid light had better work this time. '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353887

>>353882
I sigh
"Can we please go through five minutes without somepony getting hurt? I don't want to exert my magic and then burnout when we really need it."

Chip(DD knight) 353888

>>353884
Also lit a candle to see.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353890

>>353882
I stand back up and shake off the burnt feathers.
"Thank you."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353893

>>353882
I wave my hoof over to Felfire.
"Miss Feelfear! Can you come over here for a moment?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353894

>>353887
"That Hydra will be a real treat if we keep this up."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353899

>>353893
Trot over.
"What is it kid?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353900

>>353894
"Well, if miss Heart's poison plan works, it won't be too much trouble."
I'll look around. What's in the gallery that I can see, with my lit horn? '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353902

>>353883
Well everyone's out so I guess I can just drop the shot

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353903

>>353893
I frown and turn my head to look at her questioningly

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353904

>>353899
"Can you do that talking thing with my icon again? It… it feels weird…"

Wf+6 353905

>>353886
>>353884
Chip goes around setting up candles. You find a bunch of old, rusty suits of armor. The roof is kind of hard to make out with the candles because it's so vaulted. Out to the east, you see an opening to another big room.

In the middle of the room, there is one piece of armor that is not rusted. It's made out of wood, and is miraculously not decayed.

Other than that, the walls are covered in oil paintings. They look valuable. Against the north wall, there's a mosaic of Luna. Her eyes are gemstones.

Felfire [Necromancer] 353907

>>353904
Nod.
Seance the icon.
'1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Felfire [Necromancer] 353909

>>353907
Whatever. Take six on Seance.
I rolled just to get your attention, Wf.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353910

>>353905
"Artwork…"
I'll sigh a bit.
"Such paintings! And… what is this odd armor?"
I'll take a look at it. '1d10'
"Also, don't touch anything. It might be trapped."

Roll #1 10 = 10

353911

>>353905
Look carefully at those gemstones. Anything of practical value?

Roll #1 8 = 8

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353912

>>353905
I look at the mosaic.
"What this?"

Chip(DD knight) 353915

>>353905
"Oooohh these things are worth a fortune." I smile.

"Its looks safe in here guys, get in."

Chip(DD knight) 353917

>>353912
"Something that might fetch good money on the market."
"Also, no you cant eat it."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353919

>>353905
I gawk at the mosaic in wonder
"Beautiful…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353920

>>353905
"Shiny…"
I grin at the gemstones.
"…but I bet there would be something horrible if we got those."
Any smaller knick-knacks I could fit in my pockets?
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353921

>>353917
I glare at him.
"Eat dog if trap gets it."

Wf+6 353922

>>353907
>>353909
"Summer Seas… I can forgive consorting with the unsavory. I did it myself. Sometimes it must be done to get by. I can forgive asking Luna for aid instead of Celestia. They were Sisters, and I am not unreasonable. I cannot forgive assaulting a fellow adherent of Celestia. Turn yourself and your fellows from this path of wickedness, or bear my boon no more."

>>353910
You immediately notice a magical connection with it. It feels like it was made for a shaman. The armor itself seems alive, even here in the depths.

>>353911
They're huge sapphires. Practical enough for you?

>>353920
There's nothing particularly small in here. It's a viewing room. The emphasis is on BIG.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353925

>>353922
I'll lightly trace a hoof over it.
I am the last guardian here… is it right for me to use this?
I'll think for a moment.
"Miss Seas, might I speak with you a moment?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353927

>>353922
I fold my ears down.
"I- I'm really sorry… A- And yes miss Provst Seed Sour… how do you want me to help? Would… would cutting miss Tasia free help?"

Chip(DD knight) 353928

>>353921
I gulped.
"No man no. I mean no, I dont swing that way."
"well not yet that hard considering the nurse but… no."

"Please no."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353932

>>353922
Eehh..
Walk next to Spring.
"I don't suppose I can take the gems."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353933

>>353927
"Kid, if you are thinking about doing anything with the paladin, you better wait.
I'm not sure your new friend-" Nod over to Curry. "-would appreciate it."

353935

>>353922
I idly stroll around the room, examining some of the artwork
"How quaint."

Roll #1 3 = 3

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353936

>>353925
"Curry. Who that?"
I point at the mural.

>>353928
I tilt my head.
"What."

You feel the armor calling to you as you trace it with your hoof. If only you could talk to plants, you could imagine it begging to be worn. To see battle again. To serve Luna.

>>353927
"Regardless of which Sister you serve, you mustn't turn the Churches against each other."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353940

>>353937
What.
Nonono.
Good thing I just glanced over at him.
"Curry, get away from that thing. It might be trapped."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353943

>>353932
"If you really want to destroy something so pretty…"

>>353936
"That is Luna. Sister of Celestia. Princess of Equestria. Goddess of the Moon and Night…"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353944

>>353922
"Hmm? What.. is this.. icon?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353945

>>353936
"That, my feathery feline, is Luna, the Moon Princess. Or at least, a mural of her. She was beautiful, was she not? A soft light to counterpoint the sun's."
>>353940
"Perhaps, miss Felfire. But it does not seem to be telling me that it is. I can… feel it."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353947

>>353943
>>353945
I squint at it.
"Wings and horn?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353948

>>353943
"Not like many ponies come her, now do they?"

Chip(DD knight) 353950

>>353936
I stand back a little looking at him uneasily.
"Look I like traps but they are the exception. Plus no Seek, I dont want to be 'eaten' by you, I am a male dog you know."

>>353945
>>353943
I then turn to them.
"So is it this the place that you two are seeking?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353952

>>353937
"So… you want me to convince mister Curry to stop being so hostile?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353953

>>353947
I nod
"Alicorn."

>>353948
"No but… it's still one of the few places left that hasn't been sacked…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353954

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353955

>>353943
>>353948
"No, miss Emrille, you may not."
>>353947
"Yes. Like her sister, Luna is one of the only two alicorns in the world."
>>353950
"It is… part of it. This place holds a great many treasures that were lost with this temple. The artwork itself is priceless."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353956

>>353950
"Stupid dog. I see you find traps. I see you male. Nothing wants eaten. That why I Seekkill not Askkill."

>>353953
I look back at the mural.
"Alicorn look tasty."

Wf+6 353957

>>353952
"I merely want you to abide Celestia as well."

And with that, her voice slowly dies out. Seance over.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353958

>>353954
>>353953
"Fine… let the shiny, beautiful gems stay here where they serve no purpose since nopony is ever around to see them anyway…"

>>353955
"Wasn't talking to you."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353961

>>353953
"Hmm. Well, it doesn't appear the gems have a lot of use other than being valuable or pretty. I have little interest."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353962

>>353958
"Even so, miss Emrille, I will not tolerate the defacement of what is likely the only lunar mural in the world. If miss Seas is agreeable, the proceeds from a single one of these paintings should be enough to tide even you over."

Felfire [Necromancer] 353963

>>353945
"Rule of hoof with old magic. If you can feel it, kit probably wants your soul."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353965

>>353956
I give him a disturbed look

>>353958
"It's just… an important symbol."

>>353961
"Thank you."

Chip(DD knight) 353966

>>353956
"I am not questioning your preferred method of hunting, I thought you… "
"Lets just drop it for now." I smile at him.

>>353955
"Priceless, then its worth it. We could get even one of it like Emrille said."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353967

>>353962
"Yeah, but the paintings are a lot harder to carry around everything. But fine, calm your teats, I told you I won't get them."
I sigh,

Chip(DD knight) 353970

>>353966
Aaaanyway..

Approach the closed door at the other end, careful to watch out for traps on it and inspect.

I nod and take a deep breath.
I look around. Where's Tasia right now?

Wf+6 353972

>>353970
There is no closed door on the other side. It opens to a freefall. About fifteen feet below, you see water.

Leaning out, in the distance to the left, you see a faint glow of light.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353973

>>353963
"Perhaps with your sects, miss Felfire, but this feels… different."
I'll turn back toward the door.
"Miss Seas, if I could speak to you a moment?"

Wf+6 353974

>>353971
Back in the hallway, knocked out.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353975

>>353965
"Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it… it's not everyday I see something like this, you know."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353976

>>353973
"Huh? What do you want mister Curry?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 353977

>>353971
Follow her.
"Poor girl didn't have the time to realize what was happening."
>>353973
"Don't come running to me when you need a a tartarian pulled out of your soul."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353978

Can I go see what Chip sees?

Spring Water [Charlatan] 353979

>>353971
Go after her

Chip(DD knight) 353981

>>353972
>>353972
Whoa stand back a little.
Can I make out what that glow of light is?
I might have to call border if I cant.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 353982

>>353966
I watch him go with a confused look on my face.

>>353973
I point at the gems in the mural.
"Said can't have shiny?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 353985

>>353976
"As the owner of this temple, and all within, I thought it best to ask you for permission to try something with this armor here. It seems to be calling to me, and I wish to know why."
>>353982
I'll shake my head.
"No, those are to stay."

Chip(DD knight) 353986

>>353981
>>353978
"Border I need your help."

I point the glowing light.
"Can you make out what that is? Careful now, you dont want to fall down that water."

It's just at the other side of the room, so of course.

With the darkvision of your farsight, you see it is a huge chamber connected to the other side. You even see underwater, and see all the doors.

Light Heart [Warlord] 353989

>>353975
I chuckle
"You should have seen my mansion, miss Emrille. I had murals and mosaics for it all over."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 353995

>>353987
"And.. there we go."

"If we're done looting, we can progress on… here. There are some underwater chambers, too."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 353996

>>353989
"I meant the gems begging to be taken."

>>353985
"…you mean that decoration thing?"

Chip(DD knight) 353998

>>353995
"We are going swimming…."
I look at the others, I really would like to see some of the mares here… wet glistening…

Ahhh…. I then smile.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 353999

>>353985
"It's… calling to you? How?"
I also bite my tongue and contemplate asking the question, before finally asking it.
"And um… mister Curry? What are you going to do with miss Tasia?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354001

>>353999
"She's a little crazy… I don't trust her."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354003

>>353996
"The mural stays, yes. The paintings are up to miss Seas's discretion, as are the suits of armor."
>>353999
I'll look straight into Summer's eyes.
"The armor just seems… eager. To once again fight under Her banner. I cannot explain it.
"As for the Celestial, I am going to ask her a few questions. If she continues to evade them, or lie, I will be forced to do something I might not enjoy to make sure there are no other Celestials following her down here. This temple has remained untouched by their hooves for nearly nine centuries, and it will not be me who fails to keep it that way."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354005

>>353998
Be a bit thankful I left my Twily in my bunk.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354009

>>354003
"Put on armor. No put on armor. Decide already."

>>353998
"Swim?"
I look down at the water.
"Probably monsters."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354010

>>354003
"You realize that it's made out of wood, right? That's as impractical as it gets. I mean, I appreciate the effort of you making it easier for me to set you on fire, but I don't think Summer wants you to die just yet."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354012

>>354003
"Dude, I tell you, the mare was looking for me.
She's just… Not too quick, and you all ganged on her."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354013

>>354009
"Oh there are most definitely monsters. Down there is where the hydra lives. And I'm simply asking the owner of it if I may wear it."
>>354010
"It's also magical. I'm sure you can notice that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354014

>>353998
"I'm not quite sure I trust the water to be free of danger, mister Chip."

>>353996
"Well, for all we know they could be a trap, miss Emrille. Looks can be deceiving."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354015

>>354012
"She threatened to hurt us while we were in our cages… I don't mind seeing her tied up."

354016

>>354014

"Well, I'll see."

Farsight into the water again and look for things.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354017

>>354003
I frown.
"Don't you… don't you think that Luna would want you to forgive her? She was with us on the ship… I don't think she'd lead more people down here!"
I shuffle my hooves.
"And, um… you can look at the armor. The paintings stay though!"
Speaking of those, I go inside and finally look at them.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354018

>>354014
"Yeah, obviously everything here is a damn trap."

>>354013
"We'll see how well it handles fire when the time comes then."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354019

>>354012
"That does not explain how she found you, miss Felfire. AS I said, at this time of day the shrine is completely submerged. And it is proof against scrying. So how, pray tell, did she just happen to stumble into it while looking for you?"

They're too big to be fish. They look like ponies.

Something huge draws your attention as it exits the room directly two floors below you. It distinctly has four long necks. The smaller figures scatter and head for exits.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354033

Let me tell you a little story about a wonderful little plant called Creeping Mold. This stuff loves dumb sentients. Diamond Dogs, Sea Ponies, anything that's not clever enough to remove it, but is smart enough to have thoughts. It also likes moist, damp places. This place is the ecological jackpot. You see, the reason the mold likes this stuff so much is because it just loves to get its spores inside of you and control your thoughts.

Everyone save against mind control. Summer Seas and Spring Water get -4 for critfailing.

You can roll a save in addition to an attack. Define which is which in your post. Spring Water has to roll a 13 to save, though, so she will have to be cured some other way.

Curry's mind clears up slightly, and his saves will be easier, but he's still a member of The Colony.

MEANWHILE, you join the fold, Light Heart.

Rosemary gives you a worried look.

>>354130
Stupid Rosemary! Always getting the glory! Woops you missed her.

>>354128
And you miss Miss Seas as well.

>>354124
>>354121
In general, Fervored restrains you, but Magenta takes a couple hits.

>>354125
Emrille attacks! Elemental Shot: Ice! '1d10+2'

On Rosemary!

>>354149
You try to pin her down, and shove her back a little.

>>354136
That monster Chip is hurting your baby! CHANGE HIS MIND!

You stuff spores down his throat. He's part of The Colony now.

>>354182
You pull another mysterious mask out of the hat. What a neat skill.

>>354175
>>354167
I'll take that as your action instead of the 6.

You wrestle Curry a bit, taking away four hits. Soon you'll FORCE the right mind into him!

>>354170
That FUCKING WIZARD is the cause of all of this! Beat his shit!

He takes a couple hits.

>>354168
Now that Chip has his wits about him, time to make sure the other doctor does, too. Where's that Rosemary? Better pin her down for this.

Two hits, she's helpless. You stuff her full of fungus and she's loopy.

>>354165
You miserably roll into a wall as you watch Spring Water wrestle Rosemary to the ground. You love it with unicorn lady wrestle!

>>354164
Not waking up any time soon.

Shoot at that stupid wizard! '1d10'

>>354163
You are quite submerged. Rosemary can't even clear the air for Spring. She gets tackled and joins the fold.

>>354160
You take a hit out of her.

>>354172
You don't break free. Instead, you hit that stupid Wizard for one.

You sprint over to Borders and jerk his mask off.

You're still in the deep sleep, mentally.

You 'awaken' in time you find yourself eating more spores. That was a short-lived session of wakefulness.

Nope. The universe is catching wise. Best stop them tricks, Mage, or I'll slap you.

Much like a zombie horde, you rush him and drag him and Tasia back to the gallery room. The brazier was strapped to his back, so this is incredibly painful, but you don't seem to care about physical pain anymore.

Once you arrive in the gallery, you start stuffing his face with spores. The paladin's, too. Your cloths start to catch on fire from the brazier. You're all burning alive, and you don't care, because it's so good to serve the Colony. Soon Tasia is sleep-talking about serving the Colony, but no matter how much you stuff in that stupid Donkey's mouth, he won't stop screaming about "zombiehooved waterkittens".

Pretty soon the room starts to suffer from smoke damage as you all sort of roast alive. Even Felfire, who is ostensibly only wearing her coat of hair, joins in on the burning fun.

Funny thing about Creeping Mold. Fire doesn't do much to it… but it sure hates smoke. All of the paintings in the room are ruined by the smoke damage, of course.

As all of you drop to the ground, roasting alive, Mocking Wark has the good grace to at least throw you out the freefall into the waiting waters below. Soon you are engulfed on all sides by cool, refreshing water. Every last one of you is on the brink of death, but very alive and in control of your actions.

Mocking Wark calls from above, "Hey… I forgot to ask if you zombiehooved waterkittens can swim?"

>>354288

>>354296
I grab Spring in a hug.
"W- Why is she making us do this… I… I don't think I want to be the.. the owner of this temple…"

Can I just… take a 10, or at least a 6 and heal everyone of their wounds?
Not using the icon of course.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354305

Also, do I still have my Mask?

Wf+6 354306

>>354300
You don't throw up, but feel something in your throat. Come to think of it, it's probably just smoke.

>>354293
Wark gives you an odd look. "What are ya askin ME for? Yer a piece of charcoal."

He looks at the armor. "This is some fancy wooden armor. Ya think they want it? Might try it on meself."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354307

>>354303
"I won't do any fucking favors at this point. And I won't feel bad about looting this god forsaken fucking death trap either."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354308

I lie down on whatever side of me hurts the least.
"Luna fake. Luna mold."

It's probably out in that hallway somewhere.

Yeah, you can just heal everyone over time. I'd hate to see you critfail here and kill someone.

How is Rosemary faring after that?

Wf+6 354315

He frowns. "I saved yer sorry behind. I'm going to carry it so you don't mess up again, ya braindead sea urchin."

Do you dispute him?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354316

>>354304
I'll look to Summer.
And then back to Emrille.
>>354307
"Aye. What good's a temple beneath the sea, to a group that died out long ago, and is hanging on by the breath of an old stallion and such a small child?"
I'll slowly make my way to the further up the stairs.
"I've done you all a wrong bringing you here."

She's curled up in a corner.

"Good, at least I won't have to shoot you over it."

Shut up.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354329

I kneel down next to her
"Could you please remain strong for me? I am aware this has been quite the shock but… you are not alone, okay?"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354330

>>354315
"You'll have to take it up with our new crewmember. Either way, I believe we will get an optimal allocation efficiency if we give it to him. It seems to have some sort of power that only he can use. It'll be best for us all, you know."

Wf+6 354331

>>354325
You pass out.

In your dream, you are curled up in Luna's embrace. She tells you, Go now, Summer Seas. My sanctum is unguarded. The Hydra is on the hunt. Hurry.

Wf+6 354334

There are no more spores.

Your sanctum is unguarded? How do I get there?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354337

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354339

>>354334
I'll probably meet him on the way up.
"Ho there, friend. I see you've taken a prize from the room. I take it there was nothing else worth keeping?"

354340

>>354331
I check for traps on the staircase. If there aren't any I go up.

Roll #1 5 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 354341

>>354334
Follow the others back to the main room or wherever they are conglomerating

Wf+6 354342

>>354336
Just one more flight of stairs. I… can't speak any longer like this… Hurry…


You wake up with a jolt.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354344

>>354331
Hug her close as she rests

>>354342
"Summer?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354345

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354347

>>354342
I break Spring's embrace and look towards the final flight of stairs with a sense of purpose.
I get up and head down them.

Wf+6 354349

>>354339
"Some whiny braggart was corkscrewin out the gems from a mosiac. I changed me mind. You can have the fancy armor. I have something I want more."

He shoves the armor onto you.

>>354340
There aren't any.

>>354329
"I-I-I-I-I… okay."

She says it in a very small voice.

>>354338
No

Felfire [Necromancer] 354350

>>354347
Follow after her, never say a word. Same for my shadows.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354351

Wf+6 354352

>>354337
You pop them out. No sweat!

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354353

>>354347
I'm surprised by her sudden sense of purpose and follow after her
"Summer?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354354

>>354352
Cool!
Safely put them away and rejoin the others.

Chip(DD knight) 354355

>>354347
Seeing her running around again, I follow her
"Hey that place is not yet secured."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354356

>>354349
I'll look at him confused.
"Are you certain? I know there probably isn't much, but you deserve something in thanks… and in apology."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354357

>>354349
I gently pick her up and give her a small hug
"We'll be fine, miss Rosemary. Through thick and thin, right?"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354358

>>354338
Wink the armour back, and once I have it, dive down to join the party.

"SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN DOWN THERE IF YOU WANT THIS ARMOUR, COME WITH ME!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354359

>>354357
I also lead her along as the party takes their leave

Wf+6 354360

>>354347
The final floor is filled with water… but you see some kind of grid on the floor on the ground.

You can either swim to the sanctum, or drain the third floor. Draining the floor will arouse suspicion.

>>354356
"I'm not here for trophies. And wooden armor is itchy. If you want to thank me, ya humble meadowlark, ya can come up with a way for me to torment my vassal."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354361

>>354349
I follow the party.

Wf+6 354362

>>354358
You steal the armor from Curry. What a cunning thief!

What will you do with your armor? And since you have to be within 10 meters, he sees you stole it.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354363

>>354360
Have one of my shadows pick her up, then nod at her.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354364

>>354363
Summer, that is.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354365

>>354360
"You mean miss Heart?"
I'll scratch my beard.
"I'm not afraid I know her well enough to ruffle her feather properly…"
Well, might as well put that armor on. Guess I can ditch the scale mail, for now.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354366

>>354360
Sw-

>>354363
I nod back at her and hop on it.

Chip(DD knight) 354367

>>354360
I catch up with them.
"This is not safe, what are you all doing?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354368

>>354360
Fly after the unicorns.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354369

>>354366
"S-Summer? Please answer…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354370

>>354362
>>354365
"Bounder, now is not the time for games."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354371

>>354362
Hold it and follow the party into the water, then catch up to them.

"Your help will probably be needed, anyway, if our location is correct, we're going to face a Hydra."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354372

Felfire [Necromancer] 354373

>>354366
The shadow can fly you wherever you poiny it.
I'm still mute.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354374

>>354369
"You are a doctor, right? Maybe that stuff damaged her brains?"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354375

>>354362
WHAT
BUT I THOUGHT THE DONKEY HAD THE WOODEN ARMOUR
I WAS GOING TO GIVE IT TO CURRY

Wf+6 354376

>>354365
You immediately feel more in tune with Luna and nature in general. The wooden armor seems to grow around you, very much alive, to fit your form.

You now get double benefits from Child of the Moon, and Moonbound heals you twice as often.

>>354357
She offers a weak nod.

Wf+6 354377

>>354375
He gave it to Curry you untrusting dandylion.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354379

>>354369
"I- I saw Luna in my dream momma… She told me that the hydra is distracted and that the sanctum is free."

>>354376
I point the shadow to fly to the sanctum.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354380

>>354376
I smile and keep leading her along, following the party

Wf+6 354382

>>354379
Flying underwater is hard. You want it to SWIM you there?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354383

>>354376
I guess I'll rejoin the others, then.
And then join Summer in the water.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354384

>>354382
Fly above it.
Dive both shadows and use them to protect her to reach the sanctum.

Chip(DD knight) 354385

>>354379
>>354382
"There she goes… I guess."

>>354380
"Are you feeling alright you two?" I look at Lightheart and Rose

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354386

>>354379
"Luna? But…"
I look down and sigh
"Okay then…"
Follow her

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354388

>>354382
Wait
The entire room is flooded to the roof?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354389

>>354379
"If that's not true you might be leading us to our deaths, you know."

Wf+6 354391

>>354388
The room you want to enter is. And the hallway following it. The stairs go directly into the water.

The sanctum itself has a more vaulted ceiling.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354392

>>354388
No, just to the stairway of the third floor, more or less.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354394

>>354385
"We will live, mister Chip. Thank you."
Is Wark around here somewhere or did he stay behind?

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354395

>>354388
I point at the water.
"What past water?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354396

>>354394
He followed me down, I think.

Wf+6 354397

>>354394
He finally catches up.

"So…"

He scowls at you.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354398

>>354391
Fuck it
I dismount the shadow then, run over to Spring and give her a hug and a kiss, then take a few deep breaths and start swimming.
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354399

>>354398
And I'll follow after. She needs someone there, after all.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354400

>>354398
She's insane…
I guess I follow her.
I promised Spring I'll watch over her.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354401

>>354398
Roll my eyes. Dive in, have the shadows help me if I can't make it alonne.
'3d10'

Roll #1 8, 2, 2 = 12

Chip(DD knight) 354402

>>354398
I think for a moment.

"I should have putted her and the rest of the party inside the bag of holding and swim there." I blurted out.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354403

>>354397
"Master Wark. That is the second time you saved my life now. And that of all the others."
I smile at him and nod
"It appears we are in a interesting situation right now. If you'll forgive me for my past mistakes, I would very much like to have you back."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354404

>>354398
Jump after her!

Chip(DD knight) 354405

>>354402
The bag of holding has air right? If so use it as air device for breathing and follow Summer while assisting the others as they swim.

Wf+6 354406

>>354398
You swim without issue all the way to the sanctum. The water seems to stop, as if held back mysteriously by a shield. You burst out of it onto dry land.

Moonlight fills the chamber even though it is not imaginably possible. There is a huge crescent moon symbol on the ground.

The room is strewn with the bones of seaponies. In the middle, one is bleeding out. Even in its last breaths, the mangled beast pathetically gnashes its teeth at you. It's no threat to anypony.

>>354399
>>354400
>>354401
>>354402
>>354404
You all swim to the chamber, but Felfire's minions get stopped by the same shield that is stopping the water.

>>354403
He scrunches. "Yer nothin' but trouble for me, you rotten lassie. Why should I?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354407

>>354406
I'll clamber out into the chamber.
"So… this is it, then. The thing I've been trying to kill that bloody hydra for twenty years to find."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354408

>>354406
Dismiss them and raise them anew. Good shadows.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354409

>>354406
Finish off the seapony.
No need to listen it gnash and stuff.
Marksman shot.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Wf+6 354410

>>354408
You're having trouble raising shadows in the moonlight.

>>354407
Perception check.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354411

>>354406
I sigh then take a deep breath and follow them.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354412

>>354410
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

354413

>>354406
I cough and look around

Roll #1 6 = 6

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354414

>>354406
I walk into the room and marvel at the sight.
And… try to find what I'm supposed to be looking for, if anything.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354415

>>354377
Uh, oh

Y-yeah I'll just give it back to Curry if he hasn't taken it back

354416

>>354410
No light, no shadows. Keep trying.

Roll #1 8, 2 = 10

Chip(DD knight) 354417

>>354410
>>354406
"Is this the place? If so, finally." I let out a breath of relief and stress.

Wf+6 354418

>>354412
You notice a distinctly Lunar charm around the neck of the Seapony Emrille is trying to kill.

Is it… a coincidence?

Light Heart [Warlord] 354419

>>354406
I chuckle
"Well I could make it worth your while, one way or the other. I agree this whole ordeal has been very unpleasant thusfar, but it would have ended much worse if it wasn't for you."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354420

>>354418
"Emrille, wait!"
I'll move up next to it, and show it my own moon pendant.
"Do you know what this is, creature?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354421

>>354406
I scowl and sit down.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354422

>>354420
I roll my eyes.
"I don't think they can talk. Or understand anything at all."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354423

>>354420
I give him an odd look

>>354414
Stick close to her

Wf+6 354424

>>354414
>>354413
You're not sure what you're supposed to be looking for here, but you admire the architecture. It's really nice.

>>354416
There's something more to it than that. This place is Divine.

>>354420
It nods miserably.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354425

>>354424
Hmm.
"Miss Spring… could you heal this seapony?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354426

>>354424
Anything shiny and lootable?
'1d10'

>>354425
"…you're kidding right?"

Roll #1 7 = 7

Felfire [Necromancer] 354427

>>354424
Well fuck. Not my holiday location of choice.
Stick close to the filly.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354428

>>354425
"Heal the seapony?… Why?"

Wf+6 354429

>>354426
Large gems stud the six corners of the hexagonal room.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354430

>>354425
"I… why? What if it atta-"
I interrupt myself and sigh, too tired to even argue

Heal it '1d10+2'

But keep my distance with Summer at my side

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Light Heart [Warlord] 354432

Chip(DD knight) 354434

>>354424
I look around and raise my guard are there anything of interest?
>inb4 a >1
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

354435

>>354429
Do I spot those?

Roll #1 8 = 8

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354436

>>354428
"Because, miss Seas, it seems to be wearing a lunar charm of some kind."
>>354430
"Thank you, miss Spring."

Wf+6 354437

>>354430
Most of its more grievous wounds close up, but it's still pretty beaten.

>>354419
He keeps up his scowl. "Well how can ya make it worthwhile to me?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354438

>>354429
Curry can get his dick chewed off for all I care.
Check those gems out from up close

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354439

>>354437
"You understand words, I take it, seapony?"

Wf+6 354440

>>354435
>>354434
You also spot the gems.

>>354438
They're very pretty. Big sapphires.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354441

>>354436
>>354437
I'll nod and heal it some more then.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 5 + 2 = 7

354442

>>354437
Can I see anything important?

Roll #1 1 = 1

Wf+6 354443

>>354439
It nods mournfully.

>>354441
Now it's just horribly bruised, with most of the open wounds gone.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354444

>>354440
Are they supporting anything?
Sitting on anything that might be a magical trap or doohickey?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354446

>>354443
"Can… can you speak?"

354447

>>354442
>1d19
Can I roll a normal die?

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 354448

>>354442
You stare at your shadow pitiably.

Fervored…

Chip(DD knight) 354449

>>354438
>>354440
Follow Emrille and try to see if my Diamond dog sense can appraise how much the ruby will cost in doubloons.
'1d10'

"That is a mighty fine gem we have here."

Also check out for traps.
[1d10+2]

Roll #1 6 = 6 / Roll #2 10 + 2 = 12

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354450

>>354443
"You understand words?… Why are you wearing the Lunar pendant?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354451

>>354437
"What is it you desire most in this world, mister Wark?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354452

>>354449
"Yeah, it is. If we get them, I want at least three. Four if possible. You can have the other two."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354453

>>354440
I check to make sure they aren't connected to traps.
'1d10'
If they aren't then I pry a few out with my talons.
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5 / Roll #2 10 = 10

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354454

>>354443
"Can you speak?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354455

>>354448
How is this place shaped?

Wf+6 354456

>>354446
>>354450
It gestures at its pendant. It appears to have been smashed in.

>>354444
They are engraved into the wall.

>>354451
He stares up into the dark of the ceiling.

"I wan' me clan back, but since that's out of the realm of the world at this point, I'd settle fer captaining a vessel. The Seaworthy."

Wf+6 354459

>>354455
Like a hexagon, as mentioned before.

>>354449
You're kind of dopey. No good with numbers. Also they're sapphires so that kind of hurts your pride since they look nothing alike.

No traps, though.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354460

>>354456
I take a closer look at the pendant then.
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354461

>>354456
"May I?"
I'll gesture to the pendant.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354462

>>354456
Fuck it, just start picking them off then.

354463

>>354459
Books, weapons, trinkets lying anywhere?

Roll #1 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 354464

>>354456
I cross my hooves
"That is a tall order indeed. How do you go about achieving it? Perhaps I could aid you in some way."

Wf+6 354466

>>354463
The sanctum is littered with seapony bones and other rot. This is a hydra den.

>>354464
"Yer the sneaky one, aren't you? I don't expect you to make it happen right away. But I expect to be paid in full, understand, ya leafed-hooved waterstrider?"

Chip(DD knight) 354467

>>354463
>>354459
"No traps on the gems it appear." I told Emrille.

I then whisper.
"But it is kinda rude to get them since we got Lunites here. Not that I dont want a split though."

354468

>>354466
Can I raise some of those?

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354469

>>354467
"I think we deserve it after this shit."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354470

Wf+6 354471

>>354462
Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Vector? Over.

>>354461
>>354460
She nods.

You examine the pendant. You can feel the remnants of magic on it, but it's leaking out of the smashed thing.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354472

>>354466
"Sneaky? No, not at all mister Wark. I just know what I want. So you wish to be paid in full? How much are we talking then?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354473

>>354471
What?
Get the gems!
Off the wall!
And in my hooves!
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354474

>>354471
Wait, leaking?
Can I try and contain the magic?
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354475

>>354471
Hmm.
"Miss Spring, is there an Enchanter on your ship? Or perhaps… do you think the library might have a book with the right spell to mend this pendant?"

Wf+6 354476

>>354453
Well, with a ten, I'd say you snatch them all up before Emrille can get any!

>>354468
You cast Raise Dead, and fail miserably. You expect a horrible, ancient Hydra spirit to inhabit one and kill you all. Fortunately for your poor, burdened soul, it looks like Grogar cannot touch Luna's domain.

Chip(DD knight) 354477

>>354469
"Likely indeed." I look at my charred fur.

Wf+6 354478

>>354473
Okay, fine, you each get three.

>>354474
You sort of create a mystic cork with your experimental magic.

Don't think too much about it. The situation stops getting worse, but it's not better.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354479

>>354478
Well, let's give it back to the seapony for the moment.
"Did it work?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354480

>>354475
I sigh weakly
"I don't know… I really… I just don't know anymore…"

Chip(DD knight) 354481

>>354478
Well, dang dont I get a share of the gem?
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Felfire [Necromancer] 354482

>>354476
"Shit."
I just want to die.
Is there a door around here?

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354483

>>354476
I put them in my bag and sit down. These gems are going to look great decorating my den/nest/dark-corner-away-from-everyone.

Wf+6 354484

>>354472
He frowns. "I meant you make me the captain of the Seaworthy. I wouldn't have sought you out if I didn't think ya had tha potential, ya blundering starfish."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354485

>>354478
"Um… mister Seapony? May I see this pendant?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354486

>>354478
Three is enough.
Stash them away.

>>354481
Pet him on the head.
"Sorry pup, finders keepers. Better luck next time!"
Lean closer and whisper.
"Take this as an act of generosity. I don't give you any gems, but I don't shoot your balls off either for groping me when I was a filly you sick bastard."
Smile at him.
"Deal?"

Wf+6 354487

>>354482
Nothing but the big wave of water perpetually frozen at the edge of the room.

>>354479
It looks like it needs serious repair first.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354488

>>354481
"Mister Chip. I believe the agreement was that you would do this mission gratis."

Also >>354472

Wf+6 354489

>>354485
She nods at you.

Wf+6 354490

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354491

>>354487
Harrumph.
"Well, until we get this repaired, you're coming with us. Or me, at least. So if you promise not to try and eat me while I'm carrying you around, I'll fix this up for you so we can have a nice chat."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354492

>>354487
Shout.
"Hey Emrille!"
Once I have her attention, speak normally.
"How many bullets would it take you to defreeze that?"
Point at the wave.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354493

>>354484
I let out a small laugh
"Well, perhaps some day I can help with that, yes. Though I'm afraid that day wont be today."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354494

>>354489
I take it from him and put it on.
Can I feel anything coming from it?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354495

>>354492
I'll glance at Felfire.
"Miss, even if that would work, it would flood the chamber and most of us would likely drown."

Chip(DD knight) 354496

>>354486
Haha…

"What are you talking about?" I raise my eyebrow.

Wf+6 354497

>>354493
He grimaces at you. "Then I'm stuck with ya until ya come through on it. But if I think you plan to renege, I'm out! Understand me, you flipflopping pinwheel?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354498

>>354491
"Can it even talk?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354499

>>354495
Shrug.
"Better to drown than to be… That, again."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354500

>>354492
"Uh, no idea. Wouldn't that flood the room or something?"

>>354496
Speak in a low voice.
"You know what I am. Or do you want me to announce it loudly?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354501

>>354497
"Very well mister Wark. Let us work together to achieve that captain's hat."
I extend my hoof

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354502

>>354498
"That's what I want to know, miss Spring. That's what I want to know, and I won't until we get that pendant fixed. It's leaking magic, and it's an old magic at that."
>>354499
"I'm aware you're anxious to get to the library, but you'll just have to wait until miss Seas is done here…"
I'll slap my hoof to my forehead.
"Great galloping goldfish, we're in the shrine! Miss Seas, have you tried to speak with Luna at the main part of the shrine yet?"

Chip(DD knight) 354503

>>354500
My brow furrow.
"Felfire or Smitts?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354505

>>354500
"It's kinda the point. Can't you see it? It's meant to fall."

Wf+6 354506

>>354494
You take it from HER and put it on.

You feel something, but you're not sure what.

"YOU HAVE DONE WELL TO MAKE IT THIS FAR SUMMER SEAS."

In shock, you turn around, and see the ethereal form of Luna herself.

"OUR APOLOGIES. OUR ATTENDANTS OF LATE ARE NOT MANY IN NUMBER. ONE A BUMBLING GATE GUARD, ANOTHER NEAR DEAD AND SPEECHLESS, AND NOW YOU, JUST A FILLY. WE DID NOT WANT TO MAKE YOU TAKE UP THIS BURDEN, BUT YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE."


>>354501
He gives you a skeptical look, but then shakes it.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354507

>>354503
"Doesn't matter. Now shush. I'll keep the gems, and the gems will keep my mouth shut."

>>354505
I raise an eyebrow.
"What? What is meant to fall?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354509

>>354506
I jump back, startled and look around.
Is anyone else seeing thing?

"U- M- Miss Luna, is that… you?"
I walk over to her and poke her.
"What are you doing here?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354510

>>354507
"The wave. Look at it."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354511

>>354503
see >>354488

>>354506
"Please, have some faith in me."

>>354502
"Mister Curry, I still require that Hydra's heart. Do not forget about that."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354512

>>354511
"If you've still got your poison trick, I'm certain it would notice if the water was drained somehow."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354513

>>354502
"I don't really understand but… alright."

Wf+6 354514

>>354509
No one else is seeing this thing.

"THEY CANNOT SEE US, SUMMER SEAS. JUST YOU COULD NOT BEFORE DAWNING THE AMULET. IT WAS GIVEN TO OUR LAST ATTENDANT INSIDE. WE USED IT TO ENLIGHTEN HER. TEACH HER TO SPEAK. MAKE HER TO SERVE, BEND HER TO A GREATER CAUSE. SHE WANTED TO BE MORE, BUT NOW SHE WILL DIE WITHOUT YOUR HELP. MEANWHILE, OUR IMPRISONMENT MAY GO ON FOR AN ETERNITY MORE UNLESS YOU HELP US."

Chip(DD knight) 354515

>>354507
I raise my paws in defeat.
"Just this once."

Then lean down and whisper.
"Dont tell the others."

Wf+6 354516

>>354511
Wark gives a slow nod.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354518

>>354510
"Again, why is it good for us if that falls and we are still inside?"

>>354515
I smirk.
"That might cost you, but we'll see~"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354519

Felfire [Necromancer] 354520

>>354518
"Think about what's behind it."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354521

>>354513
"Miss Spring, you don't understand. If seaponies could talk all along, even if it's with the aid of magic… I've done horrible things. That armor I was wearing earlier was made from seaponies I've eaten!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354522

>>354520
"Water?"

Chip(DD knight) 354523

>>354518
>>354518
I look down.
No pay
Must stay loyal to one pony
Must pay the other.
Am I going soft.

I just sit there for a moment to relax and let the stress flow free out of my system.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354524

>>354515
>>354518
I walk over to Chip and Emrille.
"Arguing gems?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354525

>>354522
"My guess is the temple."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354526

>>354521
I cock my head
"They still tried to kill us… They're animals."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354527

>>354523
"We could renegotiate our terms if you wish. I am a reasonable mare after all."

Wf+6 354528

>>354526
The seapony mare cringes.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354529

>>354526
I'll shake my head.
"No, you don't understand. If they understand speech, if they can talk… If they can reason… I could have… Oh Luna, what have I done?"
And I'll just sorta sit there for a bit.

Chip(DD knight) 354530

>>354527
"wha wha?!" I stumbled to my side as Lightheart suddenly appear out of thin air.

"Where have you come from?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354531

>>354523
"I'll take that as a yes."

>>354524
"Nah, we're good. Damn, you were fast though. You snatched a few of them too."

>>354525
"I'm content with being here undisturbed for the moment."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354533

>>354529
"Relax. Seapony taste good. Taste like pony fish."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354534

>>354529
Walk over to him and place a bony hoof on his shoulder.
"Welcome to the group pal. Me and the gryphon have seats for you."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354535

>>354530
"I have been trying to grab your attention several times, mister Chip."

>>354519
>>354511
>>354488

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354536

>>354531
I cackle.
"Very fast."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354537

>>354533
>>354534
"That's not the… that's not the point!"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354538

>>354537
"What is point. Seapony taste good. Eat seapony."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354539

>>354528
I frown and approach her
"You claim to worship Luna?"

>>354529
"You didn't know. They tried to kill you, you killed them instead. It's not your fault. Just self-defense."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354540

>>354536
"Hey seekkill. I can get you a whole pony on the ship for those 3 gems."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354541

>>354536
"Yeah… you sure you need those gems?"

Wf+6 354542

>>354539
She nods. Tears mix with the blood and mud all over her face. There is a terrible sense of muteness about her.

Chip(DD knight) 354543

>>354535
I shake my head.
"I… wasnt paying attention. My apologies."
"As for the part of… no pay."

I just slumped down.
"Alright, whats agreed is whats agreed, upon my mothers casket."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354544

>>354540
>>354541
I laugh at her.
"Seekkill almost die many time. Three gems worth more than skinny pony."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354545

>>354514
"The seapony is… she's a servant of you?"
I give her a curious look, before sniffling.
"I've been kidnapped by pirates, stolen from my home and my friends a- and… my momma and I have been in mortal danger a- and she even… I've watched pirates kill good, innocent ponies and I couldn't even save them… a- and just… this entire temple has been one trouble after another… and we nearly died so many times… I'm not sure I want to do this, miss Luna. I- I…"
I plop down on the ground, refusing to meet eye contact with her, sniffling.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354546

>>354539
I'll shake my head.
"Not always. Sometimes, I struck first."
I'll turn back to the seapony.
"It seems I've done your kind a terrible wrong. Now, I've no choice but to help you, to somehow balance that debt."
>>354542
At this, I'll be left even worse for the wear.
"I've done you all such a terrible, terrible wrong…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354547

>>354537
"Oh right. I forgot you are thick."
Sit in front of him.
"Take a good look at me and tell me what you see."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354548

>>354544
Shrug.
"Whatever."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354549

>>354542
I sigh and heal her again '1d10+2'
"Don't try to get pity out of me. I don't trust you. Your kind tried to kill us. But… I'm willing to give you a chance. You'll come with us, and we'll see what we can learn."

Roll #1 8 + 2 = 10

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354550

>>354544
I sigh.
"If you say so…"
I nod to the others.
"Let's see what they've been getting out of that thing."

>>354539
Walk up to Spring
"So what's with her?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354551

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354552

>>354547
I'll look at her.
"I see a spindly stick of a mare, wrapped up in death. A pity about your wings, though I don't know what could have lead to that."
>>354549
"She will be my responsibility, miss Spring. I owe her and her kind that much."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354553

>>354548
"Metalwings want hunt edge of city? Find pony not missed?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354554

>>354546
"Curry please, there is no point in beating yourself up. It was a matter of survival."

>>354550
"She… she's a worshiper of Luna."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354555

>>354552
Grin happily at him.
"Yeah. And now tell me I asked for this."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354556

>>354543
"We could renegotiate, mister Chip."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354557

>>354554
I point at it.
"They can't even speak."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354558

>>354550
"It seems I was wrong to claim I was the last guardian of this place…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354560

>>354553
"Once we are out of this? For sure."

Chip(DD knight) 354561

>>354556
"What do you propose little pony?" I look at her giving a tired smile.

Wf+6 354562

>>354559
WELL DON'T READ THAT IF YOU DON'T WANT MASSIVE SPOILERS! HA HA!

She puts a ghostly hoof up to your chin.

"WE SAVED YOU FROM THE PIRATES. WE IMBUED YOU WITH THE POWER TO CURE THE PLAGUE, AND TO REATTACH LIMBS. WE GAVE YOU YOUR CUTIE MARK. WE PROVIDED TEACHERS FOR YOU, EDUCATIONAL AND MEDICAL. WE GUIDED YOU THROUGH STONEBRIAR CITY TO SAVE THE CIVILIANS. WE SPOKE TO YOUR MOTHER WHEN SHE DIED. WE EVEN DID THE IMPOSSIBLE, AND CHANGED A DONKEY'S MIND. WHAT MORE CAN WE DO FOR YOU? EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE HAS BEEN TO PROTECT YOU. WE HAVE DISREGARDED EVERY OTHER PONY IN THE WORLD SIMPLY TO PROTECT YOU ALONE WHILE I AM IMPRISONED. WE HAVE BUT ONE THINK TO ASK OF YOU IN RETURN."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354563

>>354557
"Even without speaking, she can understand, miss Emrille."
>>354555
"No need for that. Your smile tells me everything I need to know on that score."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354564

>>354557
"We can't understand them no. But there might be a way to."

Wf+6 354565

>>354546
>>354549
She sort of gesticulates with her hooves, but you can't get a sense of what she's trying to say.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354566

>>354558
>>354563
>>354564
"So you are saying they are reasonable? Huh…."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354567

>>354560
I cackle.
"Fun. Hunt at night."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354568

>>354563
Keep the thooty grin up.
"Exactly. Welcome to the club."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354569

>>354567
Nod.
"As long as the moon shines. I need light for my shadows."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354570

>>354568
"Club?"

>>354563
I look at Curry.
"Curry want hunt too?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354571

>>354566
"They could be. That pendant she was wearing, that miss Seas is right now, it… I think it may have translated for her. Gave her a voice. Until it's fixed, I can't be sure, though."
>>354565
"I wish I could understand you, at least. Sighing a bit, I can at least get her off the floor. Kneeling down next to her, I'll motion her to get on.
"I'll carry you, for the moment."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354572

>>354561
Take him aside, away from all the prying ears

"You may keep those gems and whatever else you want to grab. In return, I want two things. One is your utmost loyalty. Two, I want you to continue protecting that filly and her mother at all cost. You understand me? I do not want any harm to come to either of them."

Wf+6 354573

>>354571
She nods helplessly.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354574

>>354570
"The club of the fucked up, bird!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354575

>>354565
I just shrug
"We can't understand you."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354576

>>354573
Once she's safely on my back, I'll stand up.
"Do you have a good grip?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354577

>>354571
"Make sure to ask why the hell did they attack us once you figure it out."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354578

>>354574
"Seekkill not fucked."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354579

>>354562
I sniffle and continue looking down, taking into consideration everything she's telling me, remaining in the same pose for a few minutes before finally looking back up at her.
"What… what do you ask of me, Luna?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354580

>>354574
I frown at her as she yells obscenities near Summer

>>354577
"I'd like to know that as well, yeah."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354581

>>354577
"Because it's their nature?"
>>354578
"I envy you."

Wf+6 354582

>>354576
She nods and manages a weak smile. Closed mouthed, not revealing her sharp teeth.

>>354579
"WE WANT YOU TO ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354583

>>354577
>>354580
"Did they attack your ships on the way into port? You might have floated right over their home. Or they knew what, or who, you were carrying."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354584

>>354581
I shrug.
"That's pretty stupid of them."

>>354580
"Wait just a sec… are we planning on taking her with us?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354585

>>354584
"They do need food after all."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354586

>>354581
"In-vee?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354587

>>354583
"No… it was a days away from port…"

>>354584
"Yes."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354588

>>354584
"I am. Until we get that pendant fixed, and I know for certain the extent of what I've done to her and her race, she comes with me."
After a moment, I'll add:
"And we're not eating her. Understood?"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354589

I'm here
Just saying I'm with the party if anything

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354590

>>354588
"Fine."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354591

>>354588
>>354587
I roll my eyes.
"It's not because I want to eat her. I'm just saying that the Pirates might shoot on sight."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354593

>>354586
"I would want to be more like you!"
Tap a hoof on his feathery chest.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354594

>>354591
"I'm sure all of you can convince them not to."

>>354588
"I wasn't planning to!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354595

>>354594
"We can try, but I'm not promising anything."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354596

>>354591
"Well, they'll have to shoot through me, first. Not that you'd have much of a problem with that, I wager."
>>354594
"That wasn't aimed at you, miss Spring."
But this is a bit of a side thing. Carrying the seapony gently so she doesn't fall off, I'll make my way to the main area of the shrine.
"So… this is it. Where one may speak with Luna, if that legend is true…"

Chip(DD knight) 354597

>>354572
Brain think
NO!!

Since we are out of prying eyes…
"Look, we have already discussed that I dont get any payment for this and I agree so I can live with that. Besides I am getting some from you after this."

I then stare at her.
"You are asking for total loyalty? I can give you that and more, but…. "

I stroke her mane. and held her chin up.
"What I ask is total control of you."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354601

>>354593
I nod in an understanding way.
"Seekkill not blame Metalwings for wanting be strong gryphon."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354602

>>354601
"See? That would have been so nice when I was younger.
Strong."
Smile at him.
"But now you will help me hunt, right?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354603

>>354597
I chuckle
"I'm afraid that is impossible. I am the leader, you would be the follower. I am simply trying to present a more attractive offer to you. If you are not interested, we shall stick to our original agreement. In which case I will have to ask you to return the gems to miss Emrille. Tell her it is a gift from me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354604

>>354596
"Pass a message in my name, will you?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354605

>>354602
"Seekkill teach Metalwings hunt. Make friend."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354606

>>354596
I follow him along
"This is what we suffered for…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354607

>>354604
I'll chuckle a bit.
"If she'll listen to an old salt like me…"
Are you there, Luna? It's me, Curry.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354608

>>354605
"Good."
Smile at him. Not the usual grin. Just a smile.
Then trot along with the others.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354609

>>354607
"Tell her it wasn't really nice of her that she tried to kill me. Thanks."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354610

>>354608
I follow her and the others.

Wf+6 354611

>>354607
You don't get an answer. What a letdown after all the legends.

Why is the filly still staring into space? Is she braindead?

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354612

>>354607
Right
Praying
I should do that!
Luna? Are you still listening to the naggy prayers of a tired mother?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354613

>>354611
Ah, perhaps her attention is taken…
I'll debate for a moment on whether to tap her back to reality.
And then I'll go on over, and give her a small tap on the head.
"You still with the living, miss Seas?"

Chip(DD knight) 354615

>>354603
I widen my eyes.
"Oh no no, I will give the gems back of course, but since you are asking my utmost loyalty I need something that will match that and a one night stand would not suffice." I raise my paws.

"Lets make it simple, I will follow you and willing to protect you and your friends. In return I can use you anytime I fancy." I give a comical smile.

"If you dont want the proposal of me groping you everyday. Then I will take your proposal of me being payed in gems in return for loyalty."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354616

>>354613
Wince at the choice of words.

Wf+6 354618

And with that, Summer Seas collapses, breathlessly, back into reality.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354619

>>354613
>>354611
I cock a brow and approach her
"Summer?"

>>354618
"Summer!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354621

>>354618
"Miss Seas, are you alright?"
I'll kneel down again.
"Miss Seas!?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354622

>>354618
Fuck. Step away from her.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354623

>>354615
I hold up a hoof
"That was not the agreement, mister Chip. Our agreement was that you would do this mission gratis, and in return I would show my appreciation for your support before and after it."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354624

>>354618
"How are you?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354625

>>354619
>>354621
I take a few deep breaths and try to stand back up.
"Luna says… 'Thanks for keeping the shrine dry,' mister Curry, and 'Keep up the good work,' momma."
I lean against Spring to try and regain my breath.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354626

>>354618
"Give her some space to breath, gosh…"

Stay where I am.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354628

>>354625
I gently pick her up and put her on my back, whispering softly
"You spoke to Luna?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354629

>>354628
I nod, and lean in to whisper.
"She… WHISPER WHISPER WHISPER WHISPER"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354630

>>354625
I'll stare at her in disbelief.
"You mean… you those legends were true? She spoke to you?"
I'll start tearing up a little.
"So I haven't spent my entire life guarding a myth…"
I'll sink to the floor in relief, but then stiffen as I remember the seapony still on my back. Frowning, I'll stand back up. Slowly, so she doesn't fall off.
"This just means I've a new mission, I suppose. Guarding you, and atoning to this seapony for what I've done to her and her kin."

354632

>>354625
Pull a comfy towel from my hat.

Roll #1 7 = 7

Felfire [Necromancer] 354633

>>354630
"You talk a lot."

Chip(DD knight) 354634

>>354623
i close my paws together.
"I agree, for this mission only."
I think… right?

"But if you want my continued and utmost loyalty then I demand something higher."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354635

>>354633
"For somepony with no conversation partners usually, I suppose I do. Talking to myself probably kept me sane."
I'll shake my head.
"Regardless, once everyone is ready, we can head back to the surface. And the library."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354636

>>354629
My eyes widen considerably
"That's…

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354637

>>354635
"Yeah, Library. That's good. Let's go there."

Wf+6 354638

>>354632
It works! This is the best skill ever.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354639

>>354635
"I think you are forgetting a little, huge detail."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354640

>>354639
"The hydra? I was hoping we could rest a short while before taking him out."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354641

>>354639
"Just feed it the poision and call it a day."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354642

>>354640
Shrug.
"Library is good with me. Traps, those are going to be your problem thou."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354644

>>354630
As soon as I finish whispering to Spring, I turn to him, still resting on her back.
"She did… And she told me that the seapony on your back is a servant of hers as well."
I step off Spring's back and walk over to the seapony.
"Hi there… are you holding up alright?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354645

>>354634
I frown and shake my head.
"We will discuss this further soon. But for now, I have business to attend to."

Return to the others
"So, let us start worrying about this hydra next."

Wf+6 354646

>>354644
She nods weakly.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354647

>>354642
"Well, if you recall, the library is pretty much straight up from here. We'll have to check it for mold, of course, before we start dithering with books…"
I'll think for a moment.
"Does your crew have a painter on board?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354648

>>354644
>>354646
"This is all so unreal…"

Chip(DD knight) 354650

>>354645
I scratch my head.
"Alright then." I look at her as she leaves.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354651

>>354648
"Want me to give you a realty check after we are out of here?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354652

>>354647
"Wouldn't put it past them, why?"

Chip(DD knight) 354653

>>354650
Also return any gem that I found to the others.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354654

>>354646
"Did miss Luna speak to you too?"
I softly pat her and pat her. How does she respond?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354656

>>354652
"Those paintings in the gallery. Do you think they'd be able to restore them? Burning that mold must have damaged them somehow, and if they can be restored, they might still have some value."

Wf+6 354657

>>354654
She offers another smile, but otherwise is too tired to react.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354659

>>354657
"You just rest now… okay?"
I lean in to whisper.
"We-WHISPER"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354660

>>354656
"I doubt you could pay them enough."

Wf+6 354661

>>354659
She nods again weakly.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354662

>>354638
>>354659
Give summer the towel.

Chip(DD knight) 354663

>>354657
Go back to others and see what they are doing.

OOC: I can only stay one or two more hours at most.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354664

>>354660
"Each of those paintings is likely several hundred years old. That alone makes them worth almost, if not more, than the bulk of those ships. Letting them keep one to restore the others sounds a fair price, don't you? Maybe two, if they get greedy, which I know pirates do. And if they want the rest… Miss Spring and miss Seas's collars come off. Permanently."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354665

>>354664
"I think those paintings are crisp. Not much to do about that."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354666

>>354664
"Tell you what. I keep a painting and find somepony that can restore them all for another one. Fine by you?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354667

>>354665
"Smoke doesn't hurt them as much as fire. We'd have to check to make certain, though. I suppose I can do that while you all are in the library, clearing any mold that might have crept in and not putting any books in any bags."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354668

>>354651
I sigh
"Emrille please."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354669

>>354667
"Good thing I got bags for those then."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354670

>>354667
"Hey, custodians of luna have no use for necromancy, no?"

Chip(DD knight) 354671

>>354664
>>354667
I approach.
"What are you ponies discussing?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354672

>>354664
"Mister Curry, have you met the Commodore of the fleet?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354674

>>354672
"No. I'd assume he's a hard bargainer, and likely to go back on his word if it suits his needs, though."
>>354669
>>354670
I'll shoot a glare at the both of them.
"Not one slip of paper goes missing from that library until it's cataloged. Entirely."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354676

>>354668
"It would certainly do good for both of us. Just saying."

>>354674
"We'll see when we get there."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354677

>>354676
I'll just keep glaring at her.
"Those gems on the dias didn't walk off by themselves. The books stay there until they are cataloged, identified, and sorted."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354679

>>354674
"Commodore Tallow is not somepon- someone who takes requests very well. He was very unreceptive to conceding when I requested the collars to be taken off previously."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354680

>>354674
"Look little fish-lover, if I see the books I'm looking for I'm taking them to Summer. And you have no say in that."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354681

>>354677
"I'll ask the help of Abilio with some of them then. He's good with books."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354682

>>354681
"Oh. You still gotta help me with that."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354683

>>354676
"I'm not exactly concerned about that right now, okay?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354684

>>354680
"Miss Seas will be with you, helping you sort. If and when she wants them moved, that's when they move."
>>354679
"Pirates are receptive enough when you offer them enough material gain. He could probably retire with those paintings."
>>354681
"I have no idea who that is."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354686

>>354682
"That?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354687

>>354682
"Yeah, all in due time, don't worry your pretty little head."

>>354683
"That's why I said when we got back. So we can both just relax and put this whole thing behind us. Because I don't think you imagined this adventure to be like this."

>>354684
"And you don't have to, really."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354688

>>354686
"Hunting. Special hunt."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354689

>>354684
Poor fellow… he'll be quite angry when he finds out what the pirates are planning.
"If you believe so, mister Curry."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354691

>>354683
I tug on Spring's leg.
"Um… what are we gonna do now? Go to the library?"
I also lean in to whisper.
"And…

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354693

>>354688
"Different hunt?"

Chip(DD knight) 354694

>>354691
>>354689
>>354688
>>354687
Just stand in there listening to their discussion.

354695

>>354691
HEY I WONDER IF I CAN OVERHEAR THAT!

Roll #1 10 = 10

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354698

>>354691
Do you want this towel, at least?

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354699

>>354691
I smile
"That is good to hear… One less thing to worry about…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354700

>>354693
"Dangerous, secret hunt. I will tell you more later."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354701

>>354700
I nod.

Chip(DD knight) 354703

>>354700
>>354701
I appraoch Felfire and Seekkill.
"There is still this hydra right? Isnt it a bit dangerous to linger here for far too long?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354704

>>354698
ACK
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

"Oh! Thank you mister Boundaries!"
I take the towel from him with a smile and dry myself off.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354705

>>354703
"We are going to kill that hydra, mister Chip."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354706

>>354703
I'll nod.
"It is. If we could retreat back to the upper floors, then we could discuss things at length."
>>354704
"You'll likely need another after we get back out there, miss Seas."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354707

>>354703
"Dog right. Why we here?"

>>354705
"We can't kill small hard monster in hole. How we kill hydra in fight?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354708

>>354703
Shrug.
"We have the corpse and the poison.
Relatively safe.
Those that die we can cut off the stomach of the hydra and bring back.
Mostly."
>>354706
"I'm waiting on you, sea-lover."
>>354705
"Later rather than sooner."

Chip(DD knight) 354709

>>354705
I look at her and nod.
"If that is your wish, then I will try my best."

>>354706
I look at Curry.
"Just tell me what the plan is."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354710

>>354707
"Look around you Seekkill.
All these bodies, I could blow them up in an instant."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354711

>>354705
"So before or after that Library?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354712

>>354707
I motion Rosemary to float out one of the shrooms out of my saddlebags with her telekinesis
"Poisonous. This little shroom contains enough poison to kill every single being in this room."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354713

>>354711
"After."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354714

>>354709
"The plan, I believe, is that if miss Heart's plan does not work, we come down here and kill it the hard way."

Chip(DD knight) 354715

>>354712
"Ooohhh…" I look at the mushroom.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354717

>>354711
"As long as we take it out and I get what I want from it, it is all the same to me miss Emrille."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354718

>>354712
"Poison body and leave. Simple hunt."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354719

>>354711
"After the library, please?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354720

>>354717
"Eh… after the books then."

Chip(DD knight) 354721

>>354712
>>354718
I clasped my paws together.

"So who will deliver it to the hydra?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354722

>>354720
"Then what are we lollygagging about for like a bunch of lazy seagulls? Everyone, back to the stairs. The flyers can escort misses Spring and Seas to the library first, followed by whomever they feel like picking up next. Well, after we've made sure there's no mold."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354723

>>354721
"Hydras are carnivorous creatures. We simply stick a few of these mushrooms in a dead body or a piece of meat, then ensure the hydra eats it."

>>354722
"As you wish, mister Curry. You are in charge of the expedition after all."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354724

>>354721
"Leave in den. Let it eat."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354725

>>354723
Walking up to the water boundary, I'll speak to the seapony.
"I don't know if you're quite strong enough to swim yet, so do just hang on and I'll have us both topside in a twinkling."
And then up I go.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354726

>>354724
"Indeed."
I look around. Any meat around here?

354727

>>354726

Roll #1 9 = 9

Chip(DD knight) 354728

>>354723
I think foir a moment.
I point at Felfire.
"Felly can animate corpses right? We can stick that mushroom to an animated one and just shoot itselfi in its mouth."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354729

>>354728
"Not here.
It's holy ground."
>>354727
Plenty of remains of seaponies. We have our own stolen body in Chip's bag, too.

Chip(DD knight) 354731

>>354729
"Right." I nod.

[Pause]

Wf+6 354802

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354803

And we're swimming.

Wf+6 354804

>>354803
Correction: YOU'RE swimming.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354805

>>354804
I've got that seapony on my back. That makes us a we.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354806

>>354802
Right, are there any corpses around here that still have a reasonable amount of flesh on them?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354807

>>354802
I think we wanted to head to the Library.

Wf+6 354808

>>354806
They look pretty picked over. You wonder about the effectiveness of using corpses that have explicitly already been "used" by the hydra as bait.

>>354805
So be it! Being the vanguard, roll for luck.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354809

>>354808
Right.
"Miss Felfire, could you hoof me over the corpse we fetched please?"

Just as you turn the corner you're confronted by a huge shadow. A four-headed shadow, swimming toward you. Back to its lair.

Oh boy. Roll to outrun.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354812

Follow the party and hope we get to the library soon.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354813

>>354811
Swim away! Swim awaaaaay! '1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Light Heart [Warlord] 354814

>>354809
Right, looks like I'll just have to take it out myself.

Take out the corpse and get Rosemary to safely float out several mushrooms out of my bags. Then stuff the shrooms into the mouth or any other available holes of the body

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354815

>>354811
I follow the party to the library.

Wf+6 354816

>>354813
You don't think you're going to make it. Four gaping maws open behind you, and a terrible sound bellows from behind. You're certain you're about to bite it when you feel yourself propelled by a big, finned tail. The Seapony started swimming.

You narrowly burst through the water wall in time to warn the others.

>>354815
>>354812
>>354807
You better warn these obvious dudes.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354817

>>354814
"So…what's plan B?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354818

>>354816
And now I'm here.
Where are we?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354819

>>354816
"NO TIME FOR PLAN B! IT'S HERE!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354820

>>354817
I chuckle
"Assuming we'll need it, I'm afraid we shall simply have to take out the hydra with brute force. Or we could simply flee and return later."

>>354819
I perk up my ears
"Hm."

Felfire [Necromancer] 354822

>>354819
"WHAT?!"

We need the corpse inside Chip's bag.

>>354820
"Got that poison ready?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354823

>>354819
"W- WAIT IT'S HERE?!"
I start panicking and hide behind Spring.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354824

>>354822
I calmly nod
"I have already inserted most of the mushrooms in the corpse, yes."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354825

>>354819
>>354820
I deadpan.
"Perfect!"

Fly back to a safe point.

>>354823
"Move out of it's way! Spring, you too! Get back to the other side of the room!"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354826

>>354819
I fly to the other end of the room, away from the water and the hydra.

354827

>>354823
>>354819
I gulp and hold Summer close to me

>>354825
"Okay!"
Stealth! Hide!

Felfire [Necromancer] 354828

"No way to resurrect bodies in here. Holy ground.
Plant it here somewhere and let's hide."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354829

>>354819
>>354825
Wink away from the Hydra and steel myself.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354830

>>354828
I nod and put the body in the center of the room
"Perhaps some telekinesis to make it appear alive will help."

Run to safety… if that's even possible

Felfire [Necromancer] 354831

>>354830
Follow her to 'safety'.

The monstrosity bursts, glistening, from the wall of water. With a great heavy, it rears back and spits huge bolts of poison.

A gigantic four-headed hydra is come. It has a huge, powerful tail and it appears to be covered in seaweed. Its scaled hide is encrusted with Traveler Urchins. Beware its poisonous breath!

Targets: '4d8'
Attack: '4d10'

I dodge if any shots are coming my way and shoot darts at it's open mouths.

Roll #1 1, 8 = 9

Wf+6 354834

>>354832
The first bolt of poisonous spittle zooms past the poorly, fleeing Curry, missing him entirely.

Light Heart wishes she was so lucky. The terrible bombardment is set on a direct course for her, and certain to end her pitiful life in one last shriek of agony.

"Move it, ya thrice-damned catterwally!"

Mocking Wark leaps over her and attempts to shield her with his buckler. It's not big enough, and he gets soaked in the stuff, turning him a deathly pale before he collapses. Autohypnosis rolls: '2d10'

The third bolt hits the dummy that Light Heart set up. Score! Can't poison the dead. Well, you can, but Light Heart already did that.

The last one also flies for Curry, and nicks him, taking him for a wound.

Hydra targets easy target or high threat targets? '1d10-2'

Roll #1 7, 4 = 11 / Roll #2 6 - 2 = 4

Wf+6 354835

>>354834
Mocking Wark passes out from the poison, but otherwise remains fine.

The Hydra, naturally a lazy predator, shows a proclivity for the dummy, sitting helplessly in the middle of the room. In one fell swoop, it sweeps down and gobbles up the dummy.

The results take only a few seconds, and the beast collapses to the floor. Well that was a fucking anticlimax.

…How powerful was that poison?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354836

>>354834
Well, I've got no time for this balderdash.
Telekinesis to forcefeed the hydra the poisoned corpse. '1d10+2' because fightan.

But see this and stop.
I'm not so curious I can't wait a few minutes.
After all, no way I can bring the thing back.

I gasp in pain

Rosemary has to heal this!

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354856

Alright then.
"Now, if you want to take any souvenirs, now's the time. I hear hydra scales fetch a decent price."

"And are you well, mister Wark?"

354857

"Is.. This all? The Hydra is dead?"

Wf+6 354858

>>354856
He's unconscious from poisoning.

Your hooves feel better. She does a good job.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354859

>>354856
"I'm not a great skinner, but a few scales for an armor would make me happy."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354860

>>354856

I cautiously approach the hydra and poke it.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354866

"Looks like it… those mushrooms were no joke…"
I look at Light Heart
"What were they called again?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354867

>>354863
"Get a dozen for me too."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354868

>>354858
>>354860
"I see. Well, hopefully we know some anti-toxin spells!"
And then I'll head over to Light Heart and start trimming the urchins off a section of scales with my trident. '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354869

I watch them all carefully as they cut up and otherwise mess with the hydra's body.

Wf+6 354870

Today ain't your day.

>>354865
You succeed in poking it.

>>354863
You spend some time and loosen some scales.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354871

>>354869
"Hey bird, don't eat the hydra's flesh.
The poison might still be strong."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354872

"Thank you, miss Felfire."
See if I can help her '1d10'

>>354866
"Don't you worry about that, doctor Spring."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354874

>>354870
Ooh, neat!
Can I pull some scales off of it too?
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Wf+6 354875

>>354873
Oh, you didn't actually detach them. You loosened them.

>>354874
You loosen some, too.

354876

>>354870
Okay, does it have a soft belly?
Slash that open, try to reach the heart.
>>354873
"I'm working on the heart, can't you see?"

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354877

>>354870
Well, keep scooping them off. '1d10' Good thing I'm a decent way away and using telekinesis so I can't possibly trip into them. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1 / Roll #2 5 = 5

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354878

>>354875
Can I pull them off now?
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354879

>>354877
I wasn't supposed to roll twice.

354880

>>354870
I pull out my dagger and try to use it to loosen some of the dragon's scales.

Roll #1 7 = 7

Wf+6 354881

>>354876
You damage the outer scale coat some more.

>>354877
You accidentally trip into the beast and impale yourself on a Hydra tooth. You fall deathly ill.

>>354878
You detach a couple.

Wf+6 354882

>>354880
You loosen some scales.

354883

>>354881
"Holy fuck help that idiot!"
Keep slashin'!

Roll #1 7 = 7

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354884

>>354881
Neat!
I-
"MISTER CURRY!"
I rush over to him and heal.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354885

>>354881
Oh bother. Oh dear. That's not going to heal cleanly.
Welp, detach myself '1d10'.

Roll #1 7 = 7

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354886

>>354876
"You get the heart, I get the scales!"

>>354875
Come on, work on them a bit more!
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Felfire [Necromancer] 354887

>>354883
Try either to reach the Heart or to get some scales, if the first isn't possible.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354888

>>354881
Keep working on getting to that heart! '1d10'
Miss Rosemary can keep watch over Wark

Roll #1 9 = 9

Wf+6 354889

>>354884
>>354885
You get him feeling better.

>>354888
>>354883
Removing the scales, you set to work on the chitinous plates below.

354890

>>354885
I gasp an run over
"Curry!"
Cure!

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Light Heart [Warlord] 354891

>>354889
Just a few more layers, we'll get there! '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

354892

>>354889
Plates.
This would make a great armor!
Slashin!

Roll #1 10 = 10

354893

>>354882
I dig my knife in and pull them off completely.

Roll #1 4 = 4

354894

>>354889
Also… better safe than sorry. Stab my sword through one of the heads a few times, right through the eye

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354895

>>354884
>>354890
"Thank you, misses Seas and Spring. That feels much better."
I'll take a glance at the hydra. Could use some funds…
Improved TK to strip it of remaining scales? '1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Wf+6 354896

>>354891
>>354892
You work your way through the chitinous plates and set to work on the thick hydra skin.

>>354893
Not yet, you don't.

>>354894
You stab your sword into the large scale over its eye. It doesn't pierce the scale.

>>354895
You loosen a number of scales but detach none.

354897

>>354896
Keep trying. Seekkill is patient.

Roll #1 3 = 3

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354898

>>354896
Hmm. One more should do it, but I need to rest for a second.

354899

>>354896
"Imagine if we had to go through all this while the thing was alive…"
Keep digging!

Roll #1 1 = 1

354900

>>354896
Hmmm… open up the eye with my telekinesis and try again

Pierce its brain!

Roll #1 9 = 9

Light Heart [Warlord] 354901

>>354899
"Indeed. I believe we escaped quite the battle this way. Unfortunate that mister Wark had to suffer for it."
Keep it up '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Wf+6 354902

>>354899
You take a break to masturbate inside the meat of the corpse.

>>354900
Let me clarify, the eye is open at all times. It has a clear scale over it, like a snake does in real life! Isn't biology cool?

You finally break through the scale, though.

>>354897
You finally manage to detach a few.

>>354901
You put some damage into that skin.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354903

>>354902
Alright, let's see if we can't strip this thing. Improved TK to scale it and pile them up nicely next to me. '1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

354904

>>354902
Put them in a larger pouch and keep digging through until I hit meat.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Felfire [Necromancer] 354905

>>354901
"Better way to go than the… Thing upstairs."
>>354902
Relaxing.
'1d10' for quality.
Then take my scythe again and keep cutting. '1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10 / Roll #2 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 354906

>>354902
I give Felfire a disturbed look but keep at it '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354907

>>354902
Uh…
Keep tearing off scales?
Can't hurt to keep some more I guess. How do they look anyways? Pretty? Are they iridescent? Shiny?
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354908

>>354902
Bah, are these scales even worth it?

No, I don't think so.
I have my gems and I will have my books.
Leave those scales alone.

>>354900
"What are you doing?"

354909

>>354902
I'm a horse doctor, not a snake doctor!
Just keep at it

>>354908
"Just making sure it's dead…"

Roll #1 6 = 6

Wf+6 354910

>>354903
You detach two scales. Nice work.

>>354905
It was good for you.

>>354905
>>354906
You break off the skin and set to work on the muscle.

>>354907
They are rough, ugly, tough, and stink of seaweed and salt.

Wf+6 354911

>>354904
You can't help yourself and you take a little bite of the meat and fall over poisoned.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354912

>>354910
Are there any neat scales that I can see then?
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 354913

>>354910
Tear that muscle!

Light Heart [Warlord] 354914

>>354913
And roll for it too!

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354915

354916

>>354910
Must be the smell of death. Start carefully tearing through the muscles.
>>354914
>>354913
"Slow now. We are close to the heart."

Roll #1 3 = 3

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354917

>>354910
Hrmph.
I'll walk around the corpse after tucking the two scales into my bags.
>>354915
Running across Seekkill, I'll all over one of the healers.
"Miss Spring! A moment of your time!"

354918

Can I help the party by winking away scales?

354919

>>354914
Goddamn site

Roll #1 6 = 6

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354920

>>354909
I sigh.
"Did that mush make something go wrong? Please tell me it didn't. It's pretty dead. They are gutting it. It won't get much more dead than this."

>>354915
"Oh shit…someone! That idiot ate from the poision!"

354921

>>354915
Smart.
Cure him!

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

354922

>>354915
>>354917
>>354920
Rosemary
Cure

Roll #1 1 = 1

Wf+6 354923

>>354912
On the back of a horrible beast that doesn't want to be detected in the shadows of the deeps does not seem like a great place to find nice-looking scales.

>>354916
>>354919
You damage the muscle further.

>>354918
You can't wink part of an object or creature.

>>354922
You push Seekkill closer to the grave.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354924

>>354915
Look at him with a deadpan expression.
"Really? After what I had just told you?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 354925

>>354923
Keep at it '1d10'
Rosemary tries to cure again '1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3 / Roll #2 9 = 9

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354926

>>354924
I don't think I'm capable of speaking right now. All I do is moan in agony.

354927

>>354923
Heal Seekkill darnit!

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

354928

>>354923
Can't really help the bird.
Keep slashing.
>>354926
And I roll my eyes as I see the others heal you.

Roll #1 5 = 5

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354929

>>354923
Now that Seekkill is being tended to, I'll continue stripping the hydra. '1d10' improved TK.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Wf+6 354930

>>354927
>>354925
Okay, he feels better at last.

You work at the muscle.

>>354928
Finally you break through the muscle and reach the bones of the ribcage.

>>354929
You pull out a scale and ping yourself in the head. Idiot.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354931

>>354930
'1d10'
Keep at it
"What a mess…"

Roll #1 10 = 10

354932

>>354930
Feel the smell. Beathe in the gore.
Start meticolously pulling on the ribcage to open it wide.

Roll #1 7 = 7

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354933

>>354930
"Gonna' fiddle around with that corpse for much longer? Having your fun and everything?"

Wf+6 354934

>>354931
>>354932
Finally you break open the ribcage.

The heart is yours for the taking. It isn't beating.

354935

>>354930
I use Survival to squeeze some poison out of the muscles and put it in some empty shells, which I then stop up with some candle wax..

Roll #1 4 = 4

Felfire [Necromancer] 354936

>>354931
"It looks beautiful, doesn't it?"
>>354933
Shout from inside the hole.
"Yeah! You just keep shredding scales!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354937

>>354930
Rubbing the spot tender spot, I'll curse quietly.
"Blasted hydra. Intent on taking your blood even after you're dead."

Light Heart [Warlord] 354938

>>354933
"I want that heart, miss Emrille. No questions asked."

>>354934
Cut it free and take it out '1d10'
How big is this thing?

Roll #1 7 = 7

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354939

>>354938
"…What are you doing miss Light Heart?"
I look at her with equal parts curiosity and horror as she attempts to cut the heart out.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354940

>>354936
"Not worth it."

>>354938
"Well crap, it's hard not to ask any questions like this."

Wf+6 354941

>>354938
It's about as big as your head, which is smaller than you expected, but the cavity seems roomy. Looks like it may have shriveled down after stopping.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354942

>>354938
Help her haul the heart.
"If she listens to you, tell her to work on the scales. I really need some."
>>354939
"Kid, if you touch this blood you might die of poisoning. Get out of here."
>>354940
Roll my eyes.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354943

>>354941
I'm getting at least enough of this thing's scales to give me a decent amount of coin. I do need to start repairing this place eventually, after all. '1d10' Imp.TK to strip and stack.

Roll #1 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 354944

>>354939
>>354940
"I am certain you have your doubts. But I ask you to trust me on this matter."

>>354941
Hmmm… that's a problem…
I'll have it reanimated though! All should be fine!
… Smitts better come through on this…

Wf+6 354945

>>354943
You loosen a couple more scales.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354946

>>354945
What about all the scales I had loosened previously? That 10 had to get a decent area.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354947

Wf+6 354948

>>354946
Cumulative DC 15 to get two scales off.

Wf+6 354949

>>354935
>>354947
You do so and also drench your hands in poison. Don't lick your fingers.

354950

>>354945
Start working on the scales too.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354951

>>354949
I take a turn to wash my hands off in the water.

354952

Keep helping with the scales

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 354953

>>354950
You begin to choke to death spontaneously. You collapse on the floor and gag repeatedly. You can't breathe.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354954

>>354948
…That's hardly efficient. I'll just filet it.
"Miss Felfire, may I borrow your scythe?"

354955

>>354953
Fuck.
Try to… Spit it out, whatever is choking me!

Roll #1 1 = 1

Felfire [Necromancer] 354956

>>354954
I might be just choking on the floor.
Masturbaring too maybe.

Wf+6 354957

>>354955
Death's warm embrace greets you with a smile as you black out. Looks like you're relying on your dumb allies.

354958

>>354950
My eyes widen
She must have something stuck in her throat! Heimlich maneuver!
Or Heal!

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

354959

>>354957
With my hands now clean I carefully collect some hydra venom from its mouth and bottle it, being careful to use different looking shells.
Survival

Roll #1 6 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354960

>>354956
Oh bother.
I'll head over and try and give her a hoof up. '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Felfire [Necromancer] 354961

>>354957
Ah yes. Death.
Hey pal. Can't dance tonight. I have a boyfriend, you know.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354962

>>354955
I groan.
"uuurgh… it's dead! How can you still almost die! Can't we just spend five, five minutes without anypony trying to off themselves?"

Wf+6 354963

>>354958
Your attempts to heal do little. Flowers begin to clamber out of Felfire's mouth and march for the wall of water.

>>354959
You gather all this poison but you don't know how to handle any of it safely. You have no training with poisoned weapons. You just think you do because you're crazy.

>>354960
She is totally non-responsive.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354964

>>354962
I chuckle softly
"On the upside, I haven't had any heart failures the last few days. Don't worry, miss Spring will take care of it."

354965

>>354963
I frown
"What are…"
Nevermind! Get her heart working again! Get her breathing!

Roll #1 9 + 2 = 11

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354966

>>354964
>>354963
I perk up.
"I don't think, so… is that more of that thing that attacked our minds? Should we burn it?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354967

>>354963
I'll be completely baffled by that.
"Miss Spring, do you have any idea of what this is?"

354968

>>354963
I can't really spit those, uh?

Roll #1 3 = 3

Wf+6 354969

>>354968
Not unconscious.

>>354965
You pound on her chest to keep blood flowing… but she'll need fresh air, soon.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354970

>>354963
>You just think you do because you're crazy.
Bingo.
Once the shells are stopped up with wax I put them in a pouch and wash my hands off again.

Felfire [Necromancer] 354971

>>354969
If only we had a mage here expert in displacement.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354972

>>354969
Well… I'm the only one around at the moment. Time for CPR, I guess… I know how that works, right? '1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Summer Seas [Cleric] 354973

>>354969
Can I clear the blockage in her throat? That should fall under my medical training!

"What wrong with Metalwings?"

Wf+6 354976

>>354974
You levitate out what you can, but they're really tightly packed!

Better finish this next turn.

>>354972
You help Emrille.

354977

>>354969
Right, can I use telekinesis to clear her throat? Then perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?

Roll #1 5 = 5

354978

>>354976
Try that again then!

Roll #1 10 = 10

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354979

Felfire [Necromancer] 354982

>>354976
Hey Death, old pal, could you hold me tight?

Wf+6 354983

>>354979
You help Emrille stare dumbly at the situation and not get in the way of the superior doctor doing her work: >>354965

>>354978
AAAAAAAAAAlright wise guy. Just this once.

With one last jerk of TK, you pull out the last of the Migrant Lilies. They proudly file out of the room in a parade-style procession.

Unconscious Allies: Mocking Wark, Felfire
Disabled Allies: Seapony

Wf+6 354984

>>354982
Not tonight.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354985

>>354983
"Miss Spring, what… what are those flowers? And how did they get inside her?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354986

>>354983
"Okay, my new proposal? We try not to get killed over nothing for five minutes. Anypony who breaks that owes me a doubloon. Clock staaaarts….now."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 354988

I look at the flowers in a disturbed fashion

>>354985
"I… I don't think I know the answer to that…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 354989

>>354984
Oh. Okay… Could you send Fervored this way then? I need to hold somepony tight.
I was so close to… Not dying.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 354990

>>354983
"What those flowers?"

Wf+6 354991

>>354986
And with that, you have two unexplored chambers!

Light Heart [Warlord] 354992

>>354983
"How peculiar…"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 354993

.. The hell?

I hope I still have my mask on.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 354994

>>354991
The way to the Library is free, right?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354995

>>354988

"Perhaps we should ask miss Felfire when she returns to consciousness."
And with that, I'll borrow her scythe to start cutting a strip of hydra skin off under the scales. '1d10'

You look up to realize that five or six Traveler Urchins have decided to make you their new home. It's kind of painful as they settle into your back.

Light Heart [Warlord] 354998

>>354991
Indeed we do.
Miss Rosemary can carry the unconscious Wark

"Would somepony be so kind as to carry miss Felfire?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 354999

>>354997
But my back's occupied! Why would you have betrayed me this way, Seapony?
Start picking those things out with TK and dropping them into the dead hydra's mouth. '1d10'

Heh

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 355004

>>355001
"Harrumph."
Sighing a bit, I'll be content with the few scales I've pried off. They'll have to do. And then I'll start leading the way back to the water.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 355005

>>355004
Follow behind him.
He can trigger the traps if he wants.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 355006

And then I'm into the water.

Light Heart [Warlord] 355010

Or actually, Chip can carry her

Yes.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 355011

Motion at my saddle and the rifle on it.
