PirateQuest: Chapter 3.10: Moon Phases Wf+6 382674

>>376009
With an uncontrolled bolt of power, Summer painfully shocks Chip to death. He falls to the ground, whimpering in pain, before finally ceasing movement.

>>375985
You push the brick, causing the walls of light to retract toward you, forcing you to retreat back into the side room. The way is now free for the rest of the party, though!

Felfire [Necromancer] 382675

"Shit…"
Walk over to Chip and check him.
Dead for good?
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382676

>>382674
Oh no.
I'll check Chip. How alive is he? '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Chip(DD knight) 382677

>>382674
I dub thee first post as smily face
X_X

382678

>>382674
I rush over and check on Chip to see how he's doing. Still alive or not?

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382679

>>382674
So I'm back in that second room with the pots, huh?
And the light is still up?

Fly back up to the vent,crawl back from the way I came from and exit at the previous room

Tela [Spellsword] 382681

>>382674
"Fucking great. Someone kicked it already. What's taking Emmy so long?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 382683

>>382674
I jump away from Summer.
"What happening!?"

Wf+6 382685

>>382676
You know how they said the guy from The Princess Bride was "mostly dead"?

That is not an accurate description of Chip.

In any case, long story short, you get some of his dead blood on you while you're fiddling with his corpse. Eww.

>>382675
Dead as a doornail, but at least he's not gibbed.

>>382678
He's definitely very dead.

>>382679
You rejoin the group.

>>382681
Emrille rejoins the groups, via the vents.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382687

>>382674
>>382685
"M- Mister Chip?…"
I look in horror at what I've done.

Felfire [Necromancer] 382688

>>382685
"Well. Fuck.
I can try to bring him back, but no guarantees."

Felfire [Necromancer] 382690

>>382687
"Hey. Hold it together. Death is not the end."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382691

>>382681
"I'm sorry for solving this fucking problem, sunshine, but I can only crawl so fast in those vents."

Flutter up and take position on her back again.
"What's happening?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382692

>>382685
I shake my head with a sigh.
"Is it so much to ask for a normal day without anyone dying for once…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382693

>>382692
"Such is life.. or death. How the fuck did he die anyway? What did I miss?"

Wf+6 382694

>>382692
You almost feel the universe shouting, "Yes."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382696

>>382694
The universe can go fuck itself.

I walk back over to Summer and wait.
"Don't worry too much about it, sweetie…"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 382697

>>382685
I slowly walk over to the corpse and examine it while keeping a wary eye on Summer.
"We want to make dog live again?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382699

>>382685
Well. That's unfortunate.
"But there are ressurectionists on the ship, aren't there? And miss Felfire, you were studying to become one, correct?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 382700

>>382699
"I am one. But it's still a risk. I only brought back a single pony so far."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382701

>>382700
"That's still more than any of us, miss Felfire. And I'm certain mister Chip would appreciate the gesture."

Felfire [Necromancer] 382702

>>382701
"Depends."

Seance on Chip's body.
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382704

>>382690
>>382696
"B- B- Bu- I- I…"
I shiver and whimper, staring at Chip.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382706

>>382704
"It can be fixed, miss Seas. But you are going to have to apologize to mister Chip once miss Felfire brings him back."

Felfire [Necromancer] 382707

>>382702
"So, Chip, want me to bring you back or want to wait for Terrebonne?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382710

>>382704
"You tried to help him, Summer… but not all patients survive. That is the burden a doctor must carry."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382712

>>382704
>>382706
>>382710
I tilt my head.
"Wait, hold the gun, just what did you all do in those five minutes while I wasn't here?"

Chip(DD knight) 382713

>>382707
"W… what?? Who's that?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382714

>>382712
"An unfortunate healing accident."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382715

>>382712
"Healing miscast…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 382717

>>382713
"Felfire. Seems like you died. I can bring you back right now, but I have little experience.
If you want to be safe, we will have to wait for Terrebonne."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382723

>>382715
>>382714
"How did he even get hurt in the first place?"
I groan.
"Some fucking kindergarten this is."

Chip(DD knight) 382725

>>382717
I shake my head, still confused.
"I'm dead? Then how can I speak with you?"
Do I spot my body or something?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382731

>>382723
"He's been neglecting his health, I think. Not enough rest between the last mishap and this one."

Wf+6 382733

>>382725
You can't see the mortal plane from the immortal plane.

Felfire [Necromancer] 382739

>>382725
"I'm a necromancer, idiot. Now focus.
Do you want to risk me bringing you back now for free or wait for Terrebonne?"

Chip(DD knight) 382748

>>382733
"If I am dead, then this place is not what I expected." I look around at the weird angles and geometries of the place that I am in.

"Bring me back, What are the chances right?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382753

>>382731
"This better not fuck up anything."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382755

>>382706
>>382710
I just whimper and try not to cry.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382756

>>382753
"What's the worst that can happen? I trust miss Felfire to know what she's doing."

Felfire [Necromancer] 382758

>>382748
"No idea. But I'm gonna try."

Resurrection.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382759

>>382756
"I didn't mean that."

Wf+6 382761

>>382758
You feel exhausted, but are not rewarded for your efforts.

382762

>>382761
Crap.
"Give me a hoof up…
This drains me."
Try to stand up.

Roll #1 5 = 5

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382763

>>382755
I pull her close and wrap my hooves around her in a attempt to at least somewhat comfort her.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382766

>>382762
I'll offer mine.
'1d10' to help up.

Roll #1 9 = 9

382770

>>382766
Groan and stand up.
"Thanks."
Try to touch as little of his hoof as actually possible.

Resurrection on Chip, again.

Roll #1 7 = 7

Wf+6 382774

>>382770
Seals broken, entropy defied, world turned on its head, gasping, etc.

Chip's up.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382778

>>382763
I don't hug back, still just staring.

>>382774
"M- Mister Chip? A- Are you… are you back?"

382783

>>382774
Aaaand I will be coughing and weezing on the floor. Try to get up on my own.

Roll #1 6 = 6

Chip(DD knight) 382787

>>382778
>>382774
Breath in.

"Wha,,, I… what?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382791

>>382774
I smirk.
"Okay, that was a good job. Now if we are all done here, I opened a way for us, so let's get going without wasting more time."

Chip(DD knight) 382792

>>382787
Seeing myself lying on the floor I try to stand up.
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382794

>>382787
I rush over and grab him into a tight hug, pressing my nose up against him and nuzzling.
"M- M- Mister Chip I'm so so so so sorry I- I…"
I sniffle and start to tear up a bit.

Chip(DD knight) 382799

>>382783
I look at Felfire.
"Did… something happen?


>>382794
I look at Summer confused.
"…? Sorry for what? My… my head still ache's…"

382805

>>382799
"You died. And now are back. Congratulation, you are my second patient ever."
Look away, mildly sick.

"Kid, can I get some healing? I feel like shit…"

Roll #1 1 = 1

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382809

>>382799
"I- I… I hurt you mister Chip…"
I sniffle again.

>>382805
"B- But I might hurt you too miss Feelfear!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 382811

>>382809
"And then guess what, Terrebonne would bring me back.
No big.
And I like the way I die."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 382815

>>382770
>>382774
I give an impressed whistle as I watch her work.

>>382799
"Lucky dog."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382817

>>382809
"Miss Seas, fortune favors the courageous. And the prepared. Miss Spring can back you up until you feel confident in your healing abilities again."

Felfire [Necromancer] 382822

>>382815
Smile at him and give a small, proud grunt.

382825

>>382805
I can just heal her too.

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382826

Clear my throat.
"Would you all care for a nice cup of tea too so you can chat away? We have shit to do, so let's get on with it!

Giddy'up, Tela."
Nudge her back to urge her to move.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382828

>>382826
"Ah, that's right. That vent led out, like I had hoped, correct?"

Tela [Spellsword] 382829

>>382826
I roll my eyes and get moving to where we need to go.

Chip(DD knight) 382831

>>382805
"Then I owe you big time. Thanks" I nod at Felfire.

>>382809
I just look at her and tilt my head.
"Just dont do it again."
I then release myself from her sweet embrace.

>>382826
I nod at Emrille.
"Have you deactivated the trap btw?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382834

>>382831
"Yes I did. It's out of our way now."

>>382828
"Into another room, yes."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382835

>>382831
"I- I won't…"
I sniffle.

>>382811
>>382817
I run over and give Felfire a hug.
"I- I'm sorry…"

>>382825
I then join her in healing.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Wf+6 382838

>>382825
>>382835
Bad healers.

Felfire [Necromancer] 382839

>>382835
Wince at the hug, but then put a hoof over her head and let her work.
"It's okay, Chip said it was all right. No?"

382842

>>382838
Try again!

Roll #1 10 + 2 = 12

Wf+6 382845

>>382842
He's topped off.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 382849

I move towards the door.
"We going now?"

Chip(DD knight) 382854

>>382834
"Then perhaps we need to move after the healers is done with Felfire."

Peek outside and look at the hallway, where is the light thingy? Can I spot the trap that triggers it?

'1d10+2'

>>382849
"Checking for the trap that triggers those light things.

Roll #1 10 + 2 = 12

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382865

>>382838
>>382842
I plop down on the ground and sniffle, letting Spring just do the work.

Wf+6 382871

>>382854
It's a really obvious trap. The gray bricks appear to have some kind of detection enchantment. They're linked somehow to that red brick on the other side.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382872

>>382865
"Come on now…"
I pick her up and put her on my back
"No sense in beating yourself up over it… it all worked out in the end!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382885

>>382865
"Take heart, miss Seas. This just means you need more practice, and with practice comes improvement. Every mistake is a lesson to become better than you were."

Chip(DD knight) 382889

>>382871
Is the red brick the one that triggers that needs to be avoided or the red brick?

Wf+6 382893

>>382889
Since the entire floor segment is covered with dark gray bricks, and there is only one red brick, hopefully you can puzzle that one out.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382901

>>382872
>>382885
"B- But I killed someone with my mistake… a- and I couldn't even do anything afterwords…"

Chip(DD knight) 382905

>>382893
How did we trigger it in the first place? I frown.

"Just dont step on the red brick." I told the others,

Walk slowly up to the next corner all the while looking for traps. I then peek at the corner and see whats in there.

'1d10+2'

Roll #1 8 + 2 = 10

Spring Water [Charlatan] 382911

>>382901
I sigh and mutter quietly
"You think I never lost anypony because of a mistake I made…"
I shake my head and frown
"It is the burden of a doctor, Summer."

Wf+6 382912

>>382905
Just… no… The red brick is on the wall. It can't be stepped on.

You step on the dark gray bricks and spring the trap again. Walls of light closing in again.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382913

>>382901
"But your friend could, and did. That's why friends are important, miss Seas. They give you the strength to do things you can't normally."
I'll give her a little smile.
"Besides, if you need healing practice, I'm fairly certain Tela and I will be repeat patients, and mister Chip seems to bear no ill will to it."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 382914

>>382912
I quickly walk back into the room.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382916

>>382912
I facehoof.
"Oh for crying out loud…"

Do I need to fly back up the vent all the way back to the other side and deactivate it again?

Wf+6 382919

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382923

>>382919
Then I do that.

Chip(DD knight) 382924

>>382912
I am so confused….

"Welp, everyone back back.." I then walk back to the room inside.

>>382916
I just grin at her.

Wf+6 382926

>>382923
Noted.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382928

>>382923
"Miss Emrille! Perhaps if you held the brick down while another walks across the floor?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382932

>>382928
"And what, get fried when the light goes back there? If I keep pressing it I will die, and I don't want to die."

Wf+6 382935

>>382928
Pressing the brick causes he walls to retract, directly across the portion of the hall with the red brick.

>>382932
Look! Someone knows how the trap works!

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382938

>>382911
>>382913
I sniffle and stay silent in contemplation.

>>382932
"Um… maybe I can try and press it with my magic? I- If you take me up there?"

Chip(DD knight) 382940

File: 1364675412931.png (12.59 KB, 730x465, 1364671133850.png)

>>382928
>>382932
I look at Curry.
"There is another pass on the other end of the hall, Perhaps Emrille deactivates the trap first then make our way there,"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382942

>>382940
I'll nod.
"Sounds reasonable to me, mister Chip."

Chip(DD knight) 382943

>>382935
>>382932
I look at Emrille.
"So that is how the trap works. I see now." I scratch my head.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382944

>>382938
"Hmm…that is clever, and it's worth a try."
Can I lift her up to the vent and fly her to the other store room?

Wf+6 382951

>>382944
Since she's slightly bigger than you, you'll need to roll for it.

You also come to the embarrassing realization that she's slightly bigger than you.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382958

>>382951
I am mentally advanced.
Sort of.
At least in years.

Try to lift her up.
"Hold on, this ride might get shaky."
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Wf+6 382960

>>382958
You grip her around the midsection and buzz up to the vent skillfully. Easily done!

Now you're two fillies in a vent.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382963

>>382960
"Follow me."
Crawl to the other room.
Do I need to fly her down too?

Felfire [Necromancer] 382964

>>382960
Back.
I've read everything.
I'm still 3/5 wounds, right?

Wf+6 382966

>>382964
Yes.

>>382963
She can jump, but we all know you're just begging for any excuse to mount her anyway.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 382967

>>382964
You should be topped off, since Spring rolled a 12. Though this makes me wonder what shape Chip's in.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382970

>>382963
I follow along.

>>382966
Do I see the exit? Can I reach the red brick from up in the vent with my magic?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382971

>>382966
Her mother is hotter.
Fly her down.
Open the door.
Point at the red button, but don't touch the light.
"Can you press that with your magic then?"

Wf+6 382972

>>382967
Oh, you're right. I was thinking she healed Chip. So Felfire is at full, Chip is at 1 wound.

Felfire [Necromancer] 382975

>>382972
No. She did heal Chip.
Best solution for everyone.
I like to bleed out.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382976

>>382971
Oh.
I give that a try then.
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Wf+6 382991

>>382976
You can press it from here.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 382994

>>382991
>>382976
Yell out to the corridor.
"TRY PRESSING A GREY BRICK NOW!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382996

>>382991
>>382994
I PRESS IT THEN BEFORE SHE DOES THAT
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Summer Seas [Cleric] 382999

>>382996
Press AND KEEP IT HELD DOWN.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383030

>>382994
I'll poke a gray brick.

Chip(DD knight) 383034

>>382996
Is the light gone btw?

Wf+6 383039

>>383034
Retracted.

>>383030
No reaction.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 383049

>>383039
I leave the room, fly over the grey bricks, and move just far enough into the hallway so that I won't be hit by the wall of light if it gets triggered again.

Chip(DD knight) 383052

>>383039
Nice.

>>383030
>>383039
"Is it safe to walk past the grey bricks without triggering the trap?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383058

>>383052
"Seems so. Let's go."

Wf+6 383064

>>383049
Noted.

>>383052
>>383058
You cross as well.

Chip(DD knight) 383069

>>383064
I look and called out.
"Summer, Emrille, where are you two?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383073

>>383069
"Still in here! Just get everypony on the other side so we can move on! We will go back by the vent and fly over!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383074

>>383069
"Over here mister Chip!"
I wave to him if he can see me.

Felfire [Necromancer] 383076

>>383064
Cross with them.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383082

>>383074
I'm still following too, of course

Wf+6 383089

File: 1364677609215.png (9.71 KB, 730x465, map.png)

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383091

>>383089
Good.
"Ready to go?"

Chip(DD knight) 383094

>>383089
Stand at the corner and wait eagerly for their return.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383095

>>383074
>>383073
>>383091
"We should all be over by now, I think."

Felfire [Necromancer] 383098

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383101

>>383091
>>383095
"Um…"
I fidget.
"Does this mean we have to cross now?…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383104

>>383101
"Not through the light. Back to the vent, out in the room, and I will fly you over the grey bricks. That okay?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 383108

>>383104
"It'd be best to just levitate her."

If only borders was with us.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383113

>>383108
"I could give it a shot, if she trusts me not to drop her. Or just hold the button down and she can come the long way."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383116

>>383104
My breathing slowly starts to pick up and I weakly shake my head.
"…n- no."

Felfire [Necromancer] 383118

>>383113
"I swear, next thing I'm gonna learn is that Tartarian Gate of Abilio…"
>>383116
"Hey. Don't lose your head kid. We are coming for you."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383123

>>383118
Well, that wasn't a no, so… '1d10' telekinesis to hold down the button.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383130

>>383116
I roll my eyes.
"I lifted you up to the vents. And even if I drop you, your mother can catch you with her magic. So quit fussing around."
Lift her up to the vent and go back in front of the grey bricks.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383143

>>383130
"W- Wait! Put me down put me down put me down!"
I squirm and try to get out of her grasp.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383146

>>383143
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383147

>>383143
I sigh.
"What now?!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383148

>>383143
>>383146
"Whoa Summer, what's wrong?"

Wf+6 383149

>>383123
You can't quite zero in your telekinesis from around the corner and end up loosening a brick above your head, which falls on you.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383152

>>383149
I'll glare at the ceiling. Try that again. '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

>>383152
Okay, now you are pressing the button as well.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383165

>>383147
>>383148
"I- I'm scared…"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383167

>>383165
"… Summer please, we need you for this. I'll be here to catch you, okay?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383171

>>383165
"Miss Seas, I have the button pressed. You are free to let go. Be courageous!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383173

>>383152
Do I see him pressing the button and can I get out from this room?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383176

>>383165
"Then don't touch the light. That's pretty easy, right?"

Wf+6 383188

>>383173
>>383171
No, it's the opposite. You're in the second room because you wouldn't let Emrille fly you into the vents, pressing the button keeps you trapped.

Releasing the buttons would let you go.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383192

>>383188
So if Curry just releases the button then I can just run across?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383198

>>383188
Wait, how the devil have you had this trap set up? As long as the red brick is pressed, the lightwall wont go anywhere, so we could run across the gray floor.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383201

>>383198
I understand.

Groan.
"Okay, fine, then, someone just press a grey brick with magic so we can move along!"

Wf+6 383206

>>383198
Look at the map! Why don't you look at the map? I made this map for a reason!

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383211

>>383206
I see the map. How would them going into the first room, jumping out of the vent, and then walking across the gray floor be a bad thing?

Wf+6 383213

>>383211
It wouldn't. That is also an option, but Summer won't let Emrille even fly her into the vents.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 383216

>>383213
Ugh.
>>383201
Then I'll let go of the brick, and poke the floor.

Chip(DD knight) 383218

>>383213
I look at the hallway that we are in now.
Do I see any irregularities on the hallway?

Wf+6 383221

>>383216
That works.

>>383218
No.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383807

>>383221
If I can, I run across the floor back to the others.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383809

>>383807
Rejoin the others too.

Imminent Domain [Mastermind] 383816

>>383809
>>383807
Noted. The party is now together. At the end of the hall, there is a bend, and another door to a room.

Chip(DD knight) 383817

>>383221
Walk forward to the end of the current hallway all the while looking for traps. If spotted, do not step on it.

Chip(DD knight) 383826

I give a hand sign to the party that sounds are coming from the door.

I then try to listen in to the door.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383832

>>383807
I smile and put her on my back again.

>>383822
And promptly frown as I hear those.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383843

>>383832
I snuggle into her as she picks me up, calming down.
>>383822
And whimper as I hear that.
Can I make out the sound?

Imminent Domain [Mastermind] 383848

Another tripartite split ahead.

Felfire [Necromancer] 383853

>>383848
Which way do the voices come from?

Imminent Domain [Mastermind] 383854

>>383853

Felfire [Necromancer] 383857

>>383854
Raise a shadow.

>>383858
"Wait."

Wf+6 383860

>>383857
You don't have a target.

Chip(DD knight) 383862

>>383859
I nod.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383864

>>383858
"No casualties, remember?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 383865

>>383860
Summer's shadow.
Use it to check under the crack of the door.
Is it okay like this?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383866

>>383858
"Try to hold back."

Chip(DD knight) 383867

>>383864
>>383866
"Oh yes, sorry I forgot." I grin at them.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383868

>>383848
"Um… th- they're talking about… apples and pears, and which one's better."

Felfire [Necromancer] 383870

>>383868
"Pear of course."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383872

>>383867
I roll my eyes.

>>383868
"Well that's a silly discussion. Apples are the superior fruit here."

Wf+6 383873

>>383865
The room is empty except for a metal door. It does not have a crack in it.

Felfire [Necromancer] 383874

>>383873
Thanks dear.
Dismiss him.

"Room is empty. One more door ahead, I can't look behind it."

Chip(DD knight) 383875

>>383872
"I think banana's are superior."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383879

>>383874
"Empty? Where are those voices coming from then…"

>>383875
"Bananas are not in question here. But yes, they are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383881

>>383879
Chuckle slightly at that.

>>383874
"Are you sure? What about the voices?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 383883

>>383881
"That's what the shadow told me. No idea."

Chip(DD knight) 383885

>>383879
"Well banana's taste better, but if pear on apple I go with apple."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383891

>>383883
>>383885
"We'll see I guess. Chip, open that door. And don't kick or bash it in, just open it."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383899

>>383875
>>383879
I frown.
"I miss that nice old pony who sold bananas back home…"

Chip(DD knight) 383905

>>383899
"Aye, I myself miss the market back at my place."

>>383891
Open the door slowly.

Wf+6 383911

>>383905
The room itself is more of a narrow hallway that leads to a metal door that is locked. The voices are louder here.

Chip(DD knight) 383915

>>383911
I make a sign to the others that the sounds are stronger behind the metal door.

Listen to the discussion at the metal door.

Wf+6 383921

>>383915
The discussion about apples and pears has elevated to a shouting match.

Chip(DD knight) 383926

>>383921
Let them decide the debate all the while closing the wooden door slightly.

"I think they are going to kill each other over apples and pears." I whispered to the others.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383927

>>383921
>>383926
"Do we need to go that way or can we avoid it entirely?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 383928

>>383926
Shake my head.
"Let's take another way."

Chip(DD knight) 383933

>>383928
>>383927
I nod.
"There is another path right? We have not explored the whole underground area."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 383939

>>383926
"Can Seekkill have the bodies?"

>>383928
"What about the ponies?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383942

>>383928
>>383933
>>383939
"What are you all whispering about?…"
I tilt my head.

Felfire [Necromancer] 383947

>>383942
"Ponies on the other side might hear us if we talk loud."
>>383939
Groan.
"We can't kill them. No, this is not my idea, but it's too late."

Chip(DD knight) 383953

>>383942
"Going to the other route. perhaps there is a safer path leading inside there."

What?! They want to escape prison? I whispered to the others.

Felfire [Necromancer] 383976

>>383973
Forget everything then.
Keep being useless.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 383978

>>383966
"… prisoners?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 383979

>>383966
"Are they prisoners?…"
I whimper.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383980

>>383978
"They could be useful."

Chip(DD knight) 383984

Chip(DD knight) 383995

>>383986
"They are prisoners I think. They are talking about how to escape prison or something. Should I approach it?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 383998

>>383995
"They can't get out anyway it seems."

Felfire [Necromancer] 384001

>>383998
"Just burst them out then."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384007

>>383995
"What is prison?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384009

>>384001
"B- But they're prisoners!…"

Chip(DD knight) 384010

>>384007
"A place where they keep those ahead of the pack in check."

>>384009
"Shhh.." I put a paw on Summer's snout.

Felfire [Necromancer] 384014

>>384009
"You and your mom were prisoners too, no?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384015

>>384009
"I just wonder what kind of prisoners…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384021

>>384001
"… it is a risk. They might be useful, but unreliable."

Felfire [Necromancer] 384022

>>384021
"You call it."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384024

>>384022
"Maybe we could get some info out of them, and set them free on our way out, just to make sure they don't try anything."

Felfire [Necromancer] 384027

>>384024
"And if they rat on us?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384028

>>384027
"That is why we would leave them in that room until we get back, duh."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384031

>>384010
I nod my head.

>>384021
"Seekkill can get rid of risk."
I clack my beak a few times.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384033

I lean into Spring and whisper to her.
"A- Are they really gonna release prisoners?…"

Chip(DD knight) 384041

>>384010
>>384024
I nod
"Lets see who they are then shall we?" I stand.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384046

"Let's."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384055

>>384053
"B- But what if they aren't! What if we're freeing really bad ponies?…"
I gulp.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384057

>>384049
Knock then.
"Why hello there."

Wf+6 384060

>>384057
The conversation dies out and there's an expectant quiet.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384062

>>384055

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384065

>>384060
"Aren't even going to greet me back?"

>>384065
"No one's squealin' priest. Keep walkin'."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384069

>>384067
"Hah! Who the fuck said I'm a priest?"

Chip(DD knight) 384070

>>384067
"We're no priest."

"Not priest."

"Whats with the pears and apples? Banana's are better."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384081

>>384075
"I guess you don't want your chances to get out of here then…"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384082

>>384075
"What is nephew?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384083

>>384075
"Um… are you bad ponies?"

Wf+6 384088

>>384081
There's a general murmur behind the door, and the one who was talking before pipes up again:

"Alright. I'm listening. What do you want?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384095

>>384088
"We are trying to bust in this place. Get some souvenirs from whatever they are keeping in their vault. If you have any useful to say about this place 'n shit, we might just bust you out on our way out."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384100

>>384095
I frown and pout at hearing that.

Wf+6 384111

>>384095
"There are traps up ahead. How's about you spring us up front, then we tell you? We've been crossed enough."

>>384111
"Depends. You might try to make a run for it. Or cause trouble. Do you have any guarantees? Apart from me shooting you both if you try to pull something?"

But in your case, you think you could just punch it down with your cestus.

"Oh…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384125

I live. I see we're in prison.

Chip(DD knight) 384126

>>384120
>>384117
"Just tell me if we will bust them out." I look at Emrille.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384130

>>384120
"More pirates?…"
I frown even more.
"Can't… can't we do something momma?…"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384132

"I don't think so…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384133

>>384126
I nod.
"Just wait a bit."

>>384120
"You don't get any weapons either. We try to do this clean, without killing any of the guards. You help us with whatever you know about the traps and whatnot, and we might even be good enough to get you on a pirate ship if you do well. Deal?"

Wf+6 384141

>>384133
"Sure, whatever. If you can even get the door open."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384145

>>384141

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384325

>>384304
I shriek in terror and pain as they all pile on me.

>>384320

And cling to them as they rush in and pull me away.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384333

>>384319
>>384326
"Feelin' alright there? Maybe ye should lay below a moment."

Wf+6 384337

>>384326
You are not considered to be engaged currently. Which is great for you, because it means this roll does not kill you. Thank Sateo for saving your life as you sputter about on the floor.

>>384325
>>384321
>>384320
Summer is no longer in combat.

>>384318
Only two remain in combat after that. The rest evacuate down the hall.

>>384322
It's hard to focus with the shit being kicked out of you.

Curry: 0/5 h, 3/5 w

'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384345

>>384337
Right, I'll just be here, hugging Summer tight while shivering in shock.

Felfire [Necromancer] 384348

>>384345
Yeah, this.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384349

>>384337
>>384342
Up. '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384351

>>384342
>>384337
Land next to Curry.
Talk to the two prisoners.
"You can beat the shit out of him once we are out, but you are going to fucking stop now or you will die, got me?"

>>384349
"Stay down, you fucking idiot."

384352

Miss Rosemary pls
Heal Curry

Roll #1 8 = 8

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384353

>>384345
>>384348
And I'll just be here hugging the two tightly in shock as well, whimpering and crying from the pain and probably broken ribs and shit.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384356

>>384344
"Thar ye be off," I say happily.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384357

>>384351
"Who's the idiot that didn't get a headcount before bashing open the door?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384361

>>384345
>>384348
"Why Curry do that?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 384365

>>384361
Shake my head.
"No. Idea."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384367

>>384357
"I DIDN'T FUCKING ASK YOU! NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I KILL YOU!"

Chip(DD knight) 384373

>>384357
>>384367
I stand between them.
"Stop this you two."

>>384342
I look at the remaining prisoner.
"Is that you who spoke with us on the other side? Speak."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384379

>>384373
"It was not me that spoke to ye."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384380

>>384367
I gulp and look up
"Emrille… calm down."

Chip(DD knight) 384383

>>384379
I slapped my face.
"Then we are duped, who was it….. your name?"

"Also thanks for slapping those others. I owe you one."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384389

>>384373
"Not now, Chip, not now!"

>>384380
I glance back at her.
"I am trying!"

Sateo [DD Monk] 384392

>>384367
"Ye seem a tad angry, wasn't it ye crew that attacked first?"
>>384383
"I be known as Sateo. What be ye name?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384395

I'll stay on the floor for the moment.
"Miss Seas, are you alright?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384396

>>384392
Point the barrel of the gun towards Curry.
"Not us, this fucking idiot right here. I was surprised by how many of you were, but I didn't fucking attack you!"

>>384395
Glare at him.

Chip(DD knight) 384398

>>384392
"Chip, nice seeing a dog around this parts." I smiled.
"Deja 'vu…. funny." I smile.

>>384389
I then silence myself.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384405

>>384396
"I can't be held responsible for that mistake, but I do suggest keeping that one on a tighter watch."
>>384398
"is ye boss always this way?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384409

>>384405
"I will get a fucking leash next time."

Wf+6 384413

>>384405
For reference, their "boss" – the one insisting on keeping Curry on a leash – is a little filly, smaller than Summer, wearing a big fancy uniform.

Felfire [Necromancer] 384420

>>384413
Did Curry die eventually?

Anyway, shake myself up.
Raise Chip and Seekkill shadows.
Have them at my sides at all times.
Stand in a corner glowering daggers at Curry.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384421

>>384413
Sateo being a small fella himself isn't one to judge another crew's line of order, but she's the one waving the gun around and givin' the orders she must be in charge.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384424

>>384395
I shake my head, still half whimpering half crying from the pain presumably.
Can I even summon enough will for a Prayer of Healing?
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384426

>>384413
Did the pirate lot calm down yet?

Chip(DD knight) 384428

>>384405
"Let her be, she is cool but highly impulsive." I smiled.

>>384413
I look at Sateo, up and down.
How cute is this boy?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384431

>>384420
Unfortunately, no. I'm still alive, and lying on the ground at one wound.
You're welcome to try and finish the job, however.
>>384424
"I… see."
I'll just stay down for the moment.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384434

>>384420
I try to wave a claw through my shadow.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384435

>>384431
Rosemary healed you
See >>384352

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384439

>>384435
Okay, so two wounds.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384443

>>384428
"Must be a strong lass, older than she seems?"

Sateo is smaller Diamond Dog, looks barely larger than a pup. He's got blue eyes and grey fur. Not special but not ugly. probably cute because he's small.

Felfire [Necromancer] 384445

>>384431
>>384435
>>384439
Wonderful idea.
Walk over to Curry.
Hold the butt of my scythe right over his head, shadows looming at his sides.
"You. Give me one reason to let you live after that."

Wf+6 384446

>>384426
>>384420
They stopped fighting when Curry stopped making combat rolls.

Seekkill's shadow is closed.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384447

>>384445
"Felfire, back off."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384449

>>384445
I'll sigh slightly.
"Can't really think of a good one. Other than I promised to bring you those papers, and if nothing else I'd be decent for setting off traps."

Felfire [Necromancer] 384450

>>384446
Raise mine then.
>>384447
"He almost got us all killed."
>>384449
"Corpses can do both."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384451

>>384446
>
>>384424

>>384445
>>384450
"M- Miss Feelfear… please…"
I whimper.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384452

>>384450
"True."
I'll look at Summer again.
"And I may as well be one if I bring miss Seas harm instead of protecting her from it."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384453

>>384450
"I'm pretty darn sure he didn't do it with the intentions of killing us. We all had our share of mess-ups."

Felfire [Necromancer] 384454

>>384451
Grunt and go back to my dark corner.

Wf+6 384455

>>384424
Yep. Everyone's topped.

You feelin' sleepy on the floor.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384456

>>384445
>>384450
Look at her.
"Stay the fuck back. Wait until we are back on the ships. Then you can settle it however the fuck you want."

>>384446
Flutter up to get their attention.
"Hey you lousy fucking lot! If any of you wants to serve under the flags and fleet of the Commodore, you will not try to pull shit like this, okay? Once we are done with the vault, those who wish to join, can come back with us and be judged if they can be members of the crew or not. Am I clear?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384460

Felfire [Necromancer] 384463

>>384434
>>384460
Your shadow was closed, can't raise it.

Chip(DD knight) 384464

>>384443
She is, she transformed to a filly through some dark magic. Messy business. Makes her beauti… I mean cute though."

"Uhhrmm.. "

Wf+6 384465

>>384456
A lazy-looking jenny, whose voice you recognize from earlier, reclines against the wall. "Ship's still in port. We're better takin' off. We're weeks late for a meeting in Reptil. Our commodore will have our hides. If it makes it easier on you, though, we'll wait for you to finish your business in the vault – or at least until you raise the alarm – to get out of here, so you don't have guards coming down on your heads while you work."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384470

>>384464
My eyes widen a bit "That's incredible such magic exists? Did she give a go' to pillaging it?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384476

>>384465
"You got your freedom back, the least you can do is watch our backs until we are finished."
Groan.
"And sorry for the scene that fucknut made. Now, which one of you said something about the traps ahead?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384478

>>384476
I'll just grumble slightly to myself, and then slowly get to my hooves.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384479

>>384463
Closed?

Chip(DD knight) 384480

>>384470
"Naahh.. she is just a newly promoted officer thats why she is also hot blooded to prover herserlf, The one who is calling the shots is on the ship."
"And yes we are here to pillage a vault, that is what I heard. I hope.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384481

>>384455
I guess I'm just gonna doze off for now…
Get my energy back…

Felfire [Necromancer] 384482

>>384479
It's been killed in battle, so it goes back to being a normal shadow and I cannot raise it.

Wf+6 384491

>>384476
"That'd be me. First mate L–"
"Captain"
"Right. Captain now. If we get our ship back. In any case, the shortest way to the vault is through the break room on your right up ahead, then straight ahead. I don't know about anything past the break room, but there's a sort of intention-triggered trap that summons golems outside its door. It can be flipped off inside, if you know anyone pure of heart. Furthest we've ever got."

She mockingly remarks "pure of heart" with a sneer.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384496

>>384491
"Pure heart?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 384499

>>384491
"Pure heart as in you don't want to kill or you don't want to steal?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384501

>>384491
I glance back at Spring and Summer.
"Don't worry, we came prepared. So that's all you've got? Nothing more? Anything you know about the guards?"

Wf+6 384505

>>384496
>>384499
"I don't know what it means. That's what the priests said when I asked. Sounds like kiddy book shit to me."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384507

>>384480
I get a little excited at this. "Ye think that ye boss will let me come? Those Holy warriors took me gear and me faithful side kick Scales.. I pause looking down at the rat in my lap "At least Cheese came along or I would o' been lonely

Felfire [Necromancer] 384508

>>384505
"Looks good. Other traps?"

Wf+6 384509

>>384501
"Paladins, mostly. They routinely leave the break room empty to go on patrol. You could evade them entirely with a little scouting."

Wf+6 384511

>>384508
"The vault is probably alarmed. I don't know how, but I'd guess it's rigged in the walls if you can smash 'em."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384512

>>384509
I nod.
"That's good to know. If you feel that you know anything more that is useful, don't hold back."

Chip(DD knight) 384515

>>384507
I smiled. "I would let you come because of how you help me and the others, but she is busy now."

I put a paw on his shoulder and squeeze it.
"If you want to, just tell her and I will back you up pal."

Wf+6 384521

>>384512
"There will be more traps if you deviate from that route. I don't know what fills out the rest of this basement."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384523

>>384511
>>384521
I nod.
"Last question, does the breakroom have a map or someshit?"

Sateo [DD Monk] 384525

>>384515
"Thanks Chip, Pillaging from these people would make me happy," I smile. "I knew a dog like ye would understand me"

Chip(DD knight) 384526

>>384523
I lean on Emrille.
"Uhrrmm.. little po… I mean Emrille. This new dog wants to come with us." I pointed to Sateo.
>
>>384525

Wf+6 384529

>>384523
"Probably. I know it has guard schedules, rations, and trophies, but other than that, I can't be sure."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384530

>>384526
>>384525
Turn to them.
"Come with us? As in, into the vault?"

Chip(DD knight) 384537

>>384530
"That yes, she has to get her gears and will gladly help us. Also willing to enlist, help us fend of those freedom hungry prisoners." I grin.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384539

>>384529
"If it has schedules, it must have routes too, and if it has routes, it will have a map."

>>384537
I look at Sateo.
"I'm not sure. I don't want any shit like what just went down now happening."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384543

>>384530
"Aye Maim, I want to pillage from them because they pillaged from me. "
>>384539
"It wasn't me that caused that fight. I tried to help ye crew at that, since ye busted us out."

Chip(DD knight) 384548

>>384539
I fold my arms.
"Why not he accompany us, test him out. If he survives and dont cause a ruckus then she will be a welcome aid to the crew. If she failed then bad luck." I shrug.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384549

>>384543
"… are you good at anything?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384551

>>384548
"The thing is, I don't want any more fuck ups this time."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384559

>>384549
"I be skilled at not gettin' caught. Current predicament aside, and I be small 'n agile, 'n jolly wit' nature. I can mix up any herb ye be needing.. If I only had my gear.."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384566

>>384559
"We might need a scout to see what's what at the guard breakroom. Could you do that?"

Sateo [DD Monk] 384574

>>384566
"Aye,"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384578

>>384574
"Just a warning, you're not one of us yet, got that? You mess up while trying, you are on your own. I won't have you risk this heist. If you manage, then you are in, until we are back on the ship. Fair enough?"

Chip(DD knight) 384586

>>384574
"Just stay at the back until called in. No stunts or heroics." I give her a stern look.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384587

>>384578
"I understand. I won't let you down on this. " I say with practiced confidence.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384591

uh.
Do I wake up feeling any better than when I fell asleep?
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384592

>>384587
"You better not. One more thing. We are doing this mission clean. No killing guards."

Wf+6 384594

>>384591
You're 2sleepy.

After your Luna dream, you dream about Chip petting you as you recline in his lap. How sweet!

There is nothing malicious about this dream. It goes on for some time and you eventually wake up.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384599

>>384592
I shrug "If that's what you want, I'll stick by it."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384602

>>384594
Well that was nice.
Are my wounds any better?…
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 384607

"Are we talking or doing?"

Wf+6 384608

>>384602
You fell asleep on a dropped piece of metal and it has been jabbing your spine.

3/5w

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384614

>>384607
"Doing.
Let's go."

I think we are paused until next session

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384620

>>384608
I let out a cry of pain and hop up and away from the metal, rubbing my back and softly whimpering.

Chip(DD knight) 384622

>>384620
>>384608
I jump back in surprise.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384623

>>384620
"Summer? What's wrong?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384624

>>384620
I glance back.
"What the fuck is up this time?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384627

>>384623
>>384624
I point to the piece of metal on the floor.
"That was pressing into my back…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384628

>>384620
I'll start a little bit, but it seems I'm once again too late to do anything about it.

Chip(DD knight) 384631

>>384624
I lower myself.
"I think we need to move on, we cannot linger forever. You lead the way."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384632

>>384627
I calm down.
"Oh… Spring, please, tend to her, we need to move out soon. And we will need Summer to be in top shape."

384636

>>384627
"Oh Summer… I'm sorry I didn't see…"
I pick her up and heal her

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Sateo [DD Monk] 384640

>>384636
>>384632
I just watch this. Pet Cheese the Rat for a moment. We're still paused right

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384641

>>384640
I think the plot is on hold, yes

Chip(DD knight) 384643

>>384641
My bad. Alright then.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384669

>>384636
Once that is done.
"Just a heads up. Summer will have to do something for us. The pirates confirmed it. She has to deactivate a trap or we will have to fight a golem. And possibly guards, if it raises an alarm."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384673

>>384669
"H- Huh?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384674

>>384669
"What? How? What kind of trap?"
I hug Summer a little closer

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384675

>>384669
"Which trap?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384678

>>384673
>>384674
"The one we were told about. An intention reader one. It can be bypassed and flipped of by somepony of a 'pure heart'. Triggers otherwise."

>>384675
Snap at him.
"Shut the fuck up is your name until we get out of here, bub. Be glad you didn't mess up hard enough that somepony died."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384679

>>384669
"there be many a trap in this prison. I think Basilica must be holy talk for full of traps."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384684

>>384679
Shake my head.
"What the hell is up with religious nuts packing their places full of traps…"

Chip(DD knight) 384688

>>384684
"Ugghh… you tell me." I close my arms.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384693

>>384678
I'll glare at her for a moment, but then just sit against the wall. She's right, after all.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 384695

>>384678
"… Right. Nearly forgot about that…"

Sateo [DD Monk] 384702

>>384688
"Why is the boss so mad at ye, didn't ye defended her to the end of ye ability just now?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384703

>>384678
"I don't wanna…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384704

>>384695
"It's pretty important to fight."

>>384703
I sigh.
"Please, don't play hard to get. It is either this, or we trigger the alarm, fight a golem, and kill the guards since we don't have any other chance. You want no killing, right? Then do this easy little thing."

Chip(DD knight) 384714

>>384702
"Well.. personal matters. Nothing interesting." I smile at him

>>384704
"What is inside the vault anyway? Gold?" I scratch my head.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384723

>>384714
"Something that the Commodore wants, and only that matters."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384725

>>384704
"Why do we need to do that anyways…"

Sateo [DD Monk] 384727

>>384714
I nod "You should give her some ale, that's what me captain liked when he was angry."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384730

>>384725
"Because we don't want to be on bad terms with the Commodore. And because it pays. And because these religious idiots deserve it."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384734

>>384730
I frown.
"The pirates have hurt us more than they have…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384736

>>384734
"By extension, if some pirate hunter found your right now, they would hurt you and your mother more. Right now, as shit as it for you, the pirates are your safest bet. I wouldn't want to ruin my chances with them if I were you. Please. It's not much to ask, is it?"

Chip(DD knight) 384739

>>384727
I grin. Naaahhh… I dont think she like dogs. Most mare's in the ship are either too chaste to touch or too much trouble. "

"If you want you can try your luck."

>>384734
I keep quiet at her comment.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 384740

>>384734
I'll just watch how things are going. Anything I say will just get shouted down, anyway. By either side, since I failed.

Sateo [DD Monk] 384756

>>384739
"Pfft, she should loosen up then, a boss who can't do that is probably sick"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 384759

>>384736
I frown and don't respond.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 384762

>>384759
"So? Will you do it when we'll need you?"

Chip(DD knight) 384767

>>384756
"She can be cool but she can be really annoying if not murderous, it just depends on her mood swings.."

Sateo [DD Monk] 384772

>>384767
I shiver a bit "Sounds scary."

Wf+6 385193

You're there at the bend in the hall. What'll it be?

Tony [Trickster] 385195

What's going on?
We still in the dungeon?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385196

>>385193
Chip should check for traps.

>>385211
Description of the place we are in.

Wf+6 385224

>>385218
It's a hallway made out of stone. The ceiling is about ten feet off the floor. The passage is about ten feet wide. There is a door nearby, ajar, made of wood. To the south, you see a gathering of sixteen pirates. To the west, you see a tripartite split.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385225

>>385214
Which one is that?

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385227

>>385214
"Do we have to keep going?… I don't wanna rob a church…"
I frown.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385228

>>385227
"Me neither… but if we don't come along blood will be spilled…"
I shudder

Wf+6 385230

>>385225
The one that the jenny told you about.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385231

>>385213
"Come on, scout ahead. And don't trigger any alarms or shit."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385232

You see a prison behind the door. There were pirates here: they're gone now.

>>385232
The place that she told you it was.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385238

>>385235
Does said prison cell have another exit or is this the only one?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385240

>>385235
She was sort of unclear if it was past the break room or THE break room

Wf+6 385241

>>385238
This is the only one.

Wf+6 385242

>>385240
It's before the break room.

Back down the passage I go. Back behind the wooden door.
Excluding the corridor with the wall of light, where can I go?

Wf+6 385247

>>385244
To the west, there is a tripartite split in the path.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385250

>>385244
>>385247
I guess I reluctantly follow behind Felfire.
Do I see anything down the split?

Did we check for traps there?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385252

>>385242
Thanks.

>>385243
"Not too far."

>>385250
"We'll need you soon."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385253

>>385247
Can we get another map.

Wf+6 385256

>>385253
MSPaint isn't working.

>>385251
You didn't check for traps. You don't spot any.

>>385250
In the vague distance, you can see a fountain at a dead end on the straight path. From your angle, you can't see down the left or right passages.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385260

>>385256
Raise my own shadow, Fervored.
Have him walk towards the end of the corridor, stopping before he could enter into view from the sides.

He stops before the split.

>>385261
No.

>>385263
The left passage is dark. The right passage continues for about thirty feet before coming to a stop with another metal door.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385268

>>385267
I light up my horn and try to peer down the left passage now.

Wf+6 385273

Your horn's light is comparable to that of a lantern. It seems nondescript for the first ten feet, and fades to darkness.

Sateo [DD monk] 385274

>>385267

Felfire [Necromancer] 385276

Flatten the shadow, have him peak at both ways.

>>385267
Follow Fellfire.

Sateo [DD monk] 385281

>>385277
"Aye," I stand still.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385283

>>385273

I tug on Spring's leg.
"This passage is scary…"

I stay with the party.

Wf+6 385289

>>385286
You can't use someone else's bonuses. I'll assume you rolled for that instead.

The trap starts about ten feet down the passage.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385292

>>385289
Lemon said to use Chip to check for traps if need be.
What do these traps look like?

Wf+6 385296

>>385292
Sure, but he's not really the one that decides that.

The bricks are lowered a quarter inch and have an odd sheen.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385298

>>385296
Right, I'll just use Fel.
How long does this pattern goes on?

Wf+6 385299

>>385298
For the rest of the hallway.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385301

>>385299
Look at the walls.
Any strange pattern there too?
Also, look around for a pebble or small stone.

You're standing on one.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385304

Pick it up.

"Emrille. I think this is where the trap starts."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385306

>>385304
I look at her and the hallway.
"Okay. Nopony passes there then, we don't want a golem on our asses. It's time for Summer to be useful then."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385307

>>385306
"I said might.
This could very well be another ceiling-comes-tumbling-down-on-us trap."

Sateo [DD monk] 385308

>>385306
I sigh relived that I didn't have to go down there, and sit down on the floor petting my rat friend

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385311

>>385306
"Gol-lem?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385312

>>385307
"The jenny said this is supposed to be the only trap between here and the breakroom."

>>385311
"Big construct thing. Something you don't want to fight."

Tony [Trickster] 385313

>>385306
"Right."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385315

>>385312
"Mind if I test it then?"
Hold up the stone and show her I mean to throw it at the trap.

Wf+6 385321

>>385315
Nothing happens.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385322

>>385315
"I will shove it up your ass if you trigger an alarm, but go ahead."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385324

>>385321
Give her a look.
"See, that jenny was useful. She said the truth. Now we just need the kid."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385328

>>385322
"Fuck off."
>>385324
"…"

Call Fervored to me.
Honey, you are pure of heart, right?

Fidget 385330

Curry activates. Wonders if he's pure of heart. Decides no, of course he isn't.

Wf+6 385331

>>385328
I'm a little worried about what constitutes that, since I have been aiding pirates. Frankly, I don't know much about magic.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385332

Felfire [Necromancer] 385333

>>385331
I wanted to ask you… Why. You could have just ran from me at first sight…

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385343

>>385324
"I don't wanna…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385345

>>385343
Sigh.
"Listen, we've been over this, I don't want to be relying on you like this either, but these are the cards we were dealt. So don't make it harder on us, the longer we fuck around the higher the chances we get discovered, and if that happens, ponies will get hurt. You don't want ponies hurt, do you?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385347

>>385343
Slowly walk towards her.
Ask in a low, begging voice.
"Please?"

Wf+6 385348

>>385333
At first sight? I didn't see you for a long time. After I knew you had the potential for good. Forgiveness and mercy is part of righteousness.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385355

>>385348
Sigh and lean against him.
You talk like the knights from the books…

Wf+6 385357

>>385355
In your time, I am old, I think.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385360

>>385343
>>385345
>>385347
I'll look over the three of them.
"I could… try."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385361

>>385347
"Not you too miss Feelfear…"
I sigh and softly frown.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385362

>>385360
Glare at him.
"So you can fuck up again? No thanks."

>>385361
"Summer, come the fuck on, we don't have time for this! Please! Just do it!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385364

>>385360
Don't even look at him.
"What part of getting us all killed is something a pure of heart would do?"
>>385361
Say nothing. Look at her with a slightly defeated and sad expression.
>>385357
Who cares. You are the first pony I can trust enough…

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385366

>>385362
>>385364
I'll frown a bit, then just sit staring down the hallway.

Sateo [DD monk] 385376

>>385364
"I could send Cheese thar, animals be pure 'o heart." I hold up my rat.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385382

>>385376
"Can he tell how to deactivate the trap?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385383

>>385362
"I- I-"

>>385364
I frown even more.
"Fine! I- I'll do it!"
I run past the barrier.

Sateo [DD monk] 385385

>>385382
"I don't rightfully be knowin' that, he's only a wee mouse."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385387

>>385383
I'll watch her go. Ready to pull her back if anything happens.

Sateo [DD monk] 385388

>>385382
You were asking if the mouse can deactivate the trap right?

Felfire [Necromancer] 385389

>>385388
Yeah.
>>385385
"No smarter than any mouse, uh?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385390

>>385385
"Why keep mouse?"

Wf+6 385394

>>385383
Nothing happens.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385395

>>385383
>>385394
Grin.
"Good. Now go on, find that trap, and deactivate it!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385397

>>385383
>>385394
"Be careful Summer… For Moon's sake be careful!"

Sateo [DD monk] 385398

>>385389
"Not really, but he can spy wit' his eye 'n report it back and bein' pure 'o heart he wouldn't set off that trap."
>>385390
"Might be useful, 'n he kept me company over th' week. He's a wee bucko"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385399

>>385397
I'll nod.

Is there something behind it?

Roll #1 6 = 6

Wf+6 385408

>>385405
You hear some sort of odd tune. Like a bard is playing a song. There are lyrics, but you can't make them out. There's the faint crackle of a fireplace.

There is soft chatter over the music.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385409

>>385408
I guess I have no choice but to open it and go inside…
I gulp and press forward.

Wf+6 385413

>>385409
The door won't push inward.

It does have a handle, though.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385415

>>385413
Oh.
I reach up at the handle with my magic and pull it out then. I peek inside.

Wf+6 385419

>>385415
You don't see any bard, but you do see the fireplace. There's an odd device on a pedestal next to the fireplace which is emitting sound. Mounted above the fireplace is a glass case with a trophy hoof in it. You can't make out the plaque below the trophy.

The room is carpeted and there are comfortable-looking chairs. From this angle, you can't see anypony, but you do hear two discussing this morning's sermon.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385421

I guess I try to walk inside and close the door silently behind me.

Did the jenny tell us how to disable the trap, once we went past it?

Wf+6 385433

>>385423
Just that it could be disabled from the break room.

>>385421
You very stealthily shut the door. The discussion stops.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385434

I nervously fidget my hooves as Summer leaves my sight

Wf+6 385435

Oh no…
"U- Um… hi?"
I shiver in place.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385437

>>385434
I'll glance at her, and the others, then continue staring down the hall.

Wf+6 385441

>>385436
Two ponies come into view. One of them is huge and wearing heavy armor. The other is a mare in a white robe.

"Looks like a foal has become lost."
"Dangerous place for a foal."
"We should take it back to the surface."
"Fillies don't just happen past traps."
"That doesn't change what we should do."
"What we should do is take it for interrogation."
"She's just a filly."
"And probably counting on mercy for that purpose."
"There's a simpler solution."
"Oh?"
"Just ask."
"She'll just lie."

..

"What are you doing down here, little filly?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385446

>>385441
"U- U- Um… I- I-"
I shiver in place.
"I- I was… I was… s- sent down here."
I continue shivering and start to whimper.

Wf+6 385454

>>385446
"Sent by who?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385457

>>385454
"U- Um… I- I-… y- you're scaring me mister… who are you?…"

Wf+6 385463

>>385457
The mare is interrupted by the armor-clad warrior.

"I am Inquisitor-Lord Ravenback, and you will be dead if you don't answer our questions."
"Ravenback, she's only a foal."
"A foal that can evade the walls of light."
"We could just teleport her outside."
"Not this close to the vault… but there is the chute…"
"You must be joking."
"If she can deal with walls of light, she can deal with a little water."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385471

"She's been gone a while… do you think she ran into a patrol? No, maybe she's just having trouble finding the switch…"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385472

>>385463
I start avoid his gaze and the sight of him.
"I- I- Please don't k- kill me! Please!"
Do I notice the… thing or whatever here that I need to deactivate?

"If there was trouble, we would hear it."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385479

>>385475
Fervy, she's been gone too long…

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385480

>>385475
My breathing picks up.
Do I notice which one it is? Can I notice it without them noticing me staring at them?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385481

>>385476

"The lass has been held up by something then?"

Wf+6 385485

>>385480
There is no labeling.

"Enough of this. She's not answering. To the chute."

Ravenback reaches for you.

>>385479
It does seem that way.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385487

>>385484
"I hope not. But all I can do at the moment is pray that Luna guide her."
Guide her closer and better than me.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385488

>>385485
"No! Please! P- Please!"
I run away and try to escape them inside the room.
Is there any other way out besides the way I came?
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Wf+6 385494

>>385488
There is an exit to the north, near the fireplace.

You evade Ravenback, but the mare uses telekinesis: '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 385495

>>385494
Which you also successfully evade, leaping behind a chair, causing it to be lifted up instead.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385496

>>385494
>>385495
I dart out the door by the fireplace then!
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Wf+6 385500

>>385496
This corridor is different from the previous ones. The walls are metal. There is a passage leading west which ends in a metal hatch. To the north, there is a huge vault door, sealed. The passage is lined with torches in sconces.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385501

My eye twitches
"I can't take this…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385503

>>385485
Remember I love you. See you on the other side.
Dismiss his shadow.

"She's been in too long. I'm going in."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385504

>>385501
"Nor can I, for much longer. I care less about the golem than miss Sea's safety.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385506

>>385503
"Miss Felfire, I'm coming with you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385507

>>385503
"No you are fucking not. Golem, remember?"

>>385501
"Just give her a bit more time."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385508

>>385506
"Double the risk."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385509

>>385500
Is there any place to hide?
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385512

>>385508
>>385507
"I care so little about that golem at this moment, and the vault itself, when balanced against miss Seas's safety. Not even Grogar himself will stop me from going in there now."

Wf+6 385513

>>385509
Apparently not. Ravenback catches up and plucks you off the ground and hauls you to the hatch at the end of the west corridor.

"Ravenback, this is extreme."
"You don't know the meaning of the word."
"Show some mercy!"
"She's a sneak. She's lucky I don't cut her red."
"Why are you doing this?"
"She won't ANSWER."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385514

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385516

>>385512
And in I go.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385520

>>385512
"The golem could hurt her you fucking idiot! You will not fuck this up again you hear me?!"

Sateo [DD monk] 385521

I stare blankly ahead and watch what happens to hem

Roll #1 5 = 5

Felfire [Necromancer] 385525

>>385523
No wait what the fuck am I doing. I have no shadows. I can't touch him.
Do nothing.

Wf+6 385526

>>385525
Then he goes.

>>385524
You stride across the floor and nothing is triggered.

>>385522
You're alright, too.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385527

>>385513
I try to struggle my way free.
"Let me go! Let me goooo!"

Roll #1 9 = 9

Felfire [Necromancer] 385530

>>385526
Well fuck me till I bleed…
"You bring her back! Got it!?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385531

>>385526
I snarl.
"I swear if he fucks up again."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385532

>>385530
"Alive and unharmed!"

385533

>>385526
Stealth.
Go into the direction Summer went…

Roll #1 9 = 9

Wf+6 385535

>>385527
"Wrong answer."

Your world goes dark as you're stuffed in the hatch and the door is closed. You are on a slick metal surface at a 60 degree drop angle. You slide fast.

>>385529
The door on the other side of the break room is ajar.

>>385533
You are in stealth.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385536

>>385535
Burst through the door. If she's not there, continue on through until I run across either her, or whatever may have happened to her.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385537

>>385535
>>385536
Sneak in after him! Quickly!

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385539

>>385535
I scream as I slide down.
I try to light up my horn to at least see where I'm going.
Pleasedon'thurtpleasedon'thurt…

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385541

>>385539
Actually a preemptive roll for landing.
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Sateo [DD monk] 385543

"They made it over.. requestin' permission to follow me lady."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385545

>>385543
"Not yet. Only when the trap is deactivated."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385546

>>385543
"Denied. I figured this thing out."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385547

>>385546
"Tell us."

Wf+6 385548

>>385536
>>385537
You spot a mare in robes giving an angry look to a heavily-armored paladin. As you burst through the door, they turned to look at the two of you.

"ANOTHER INTRUDER! ON HIM!"

>>385539
>>385541
It's all a jumble as you tumble headfirst down the chute. You shoot out the other side straight into a pool of water and hit the rocks at the bottom, cracking against your head painfully. You gasp unintentionally, and your throat fills with water.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385551

>>385548
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MISS SEAS!?"
And I'll light up my horn and use Improved TK to hold them both immobile. '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

385552

>>385548
Look around the room! Where is Summer!?

Roll #1 8 = 8

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385553

>>385548
Swim up! Swim up!
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Felfire [Necromancer] 385554

>>385547
"It reads intentions. If we are here to bring pain or despair, if we are here for our own ends… Then it springs."

Sateo [DD monk] 385556

>>385545
>>385546
"Aye Aye." I reply quickly and firmly like a good crew man.

Wf+6 385562

>>385552
You can't see her.

>>385551
Ravenback immediately closes with you, too fast for you to get off your spell, smashing a hoof into your side, and knocking you against the wall. You cry out with pain as his burning horseshoe sears a brand into your side.

"IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA!"

The mare in back doesn't do anything but form a protective bubble around herself.

Curry: 2/5 hits, 5/5 wounds

>>385553
You break the surface, gasping for breath as you gag on the water you took in. Your eyes burn, and as you look through your tear-filled eyes, you can barely make out the edges of the pool, even by the light of your horn. You're collapsed on the side of one now, beached, clinging to the relative safety of the edge. The pool seems to empty into a small underground river. You think you see a hint of light in the distance along the river.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385564

>>385562
Is the door open?
Can I see what's going on in the room?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385566

>>385562
I'll snarl at him, and then give him a solid uppercut. '1d10'
"I'm sure your Sun Princess delights in the regular sacrifice of children in her name, you bastard!"

Roll #1 5 = 5

Wf+6 385567

>>385564
Definitely not. The doors are not lined up, and they are not fighting directly outside the door.

385568

>>385562
Can I hear the fighting?

Roll #1 2 = 2

385569

>>385562
I growl and walk up to the stallion

AWiYE

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385570

Oh, right, they were past the first door, my bad.

I try to swim along to the light.
I gotta get outta here…
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Wf+6 385574

>>385568
You can't hear the fighting, but you sure can hear Ravenback yelling.

>>385566
"TASTE THE BURN OF THE SUN!"

He catches your hoof as you attempt to bash him, then closes, and headbutts you with his heavy helmet, making you collapse.

>>385569
You break your cover to scream at Ravenback, but he responds with the traditional Inquisitorial response to screaming.

"CELESTIA'S BLADE!"

A searing hot blade of light forms on his foreleg, and he jabs you in the torso with vigor.

"Ravenback! Enough of this!"
"NO MERCY FOR THIEVES AGAINST CELESTIA'S GLORY!"

Curry: 0/5h 4/5w
Spring Water: 0/5h 3/5w

>>385571
Free action. You swim down the river and find yourself at a metal grate. Outside, you can see the sea.

The light also lets you see how disgusting the water you're in is… ew.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385575

>>385574
"Fuck!"
Run past that shit. The kid's in trouble.

Sateo [DD monk] 385576

>>385554
"Maim, I don't be knowin' what ye mean.. I want to get me belonging and aid ye crew, be that a bad intention?"

385577

>>385574

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385578

>>385575
"What the fuck are you doing?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385579

>>385574
Up.
'1d10'
Spitting a little blood, I'll sneer at the inquisitor.
"Typical Celestial. Willing to murder children just because they're in the wrong place. I never should have entertained the thought of forgiving you all for the things you've done."

Roll #1 4 = 4

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385580

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385585

"Shut the fuck up."

Wf+6 385592

>>385580
You stick your head through and look around. Hey! You can see the ships from here!




You're stuck, aren't you?

…Yep.

>>385577
>>385579
Spring rolls to her feet, distracting Ravenback long enough that he doesn't strike at Curry again.

"Ravenback, please. We can take them to the prisons–"

"THEY WILL NEVER SURRENDER. DO NOT GIVE THEM THE CHANCE TO BETRAY."

>>385575
Roll.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385593

'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Wf+6 385594

>>385593
The world around you begins to warp and churn as you enter the trap. You try to contain your fear as beads of sweat form on your forehead. The air itself seems to twist, attempting to tear a shred. You press on, and try to think about Summer…

And you burst through the other side. With a gasp of relief, you look back, seeing no golem.

385595

>>385592
I leap at him
"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER YOU MONSTER!?"

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385596

"Betray? It was you Celestials who betrayed everyone! Hoarding everything and leaving nothing to those you once trusted as brothers and sisters!"
Getting up. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Let's see if I can do it right this time.
I take a few steps back from the group and roll my dice.

Roll #1 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3, 1 = 24

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385604

>>385601
"Not yet! They need. To deactivate.The fucking trap first!"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385605

>>385602
I frown at the result and stay with the others that haven't crossed the trap.

Wf+6 385606

>>385595
You grapple with Ravenback, and attempt to wrestle his blade from him. He spits at you:

"SHE WAS DONE AWAY WITH LIKE THE TRASH SHE IS."

"Ravenback! What are you saying?"

"SHE WAS HERETICAL FILTH, SKYLIGHT!"

>>385596
Unfortunately, the wrestling with the blade causes it to get jabbed straight into Curry. This elicits a terrible cry of pain. In their fight, Spring and Ravenback had inadvertently guided the blade into his throat.

"A FITTING END!"
"Ravenback, calm down!"

Two autohypnosis rolls, please.

>>385597
The sheer size of Ravenback in his armor makes you flinch, and you fail to cast the spell.

>>385600
With a fight, you pop your head free.

Summer Seas [Clericl] 385612

>>385606
There's no way to get by, is there?…

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385619

"I don't know how it works, but I'm not going to push my luck. You stay here."

Sateo [DD monk] 385630

>>385622
>>385625
I look kind of sad. "Aye aye.."

Wf+6 385639

>>385612
You locate the lock!

…Does that do you any good…?

>>385613
You pass out in a pool of your own blood from the pain… but your breathing continues, shallow. You are unconscious.

>>385614
He smashes you with the broadside of his blade. It burns!

>>385615
The panic is too much! You can't get your breathing under control. No concentration means no magic. Inquisitor-Lord Ravenback closes on you and brings down his terrible blade. The pain is so intense you almost pass out right away.

"YOUR BLOOD WILL BOIL!"

Curry: Unconscious
Spring Water: 2/5h, 3/5w
Felfire: 0/5 4/5w

Wf+6 385642

You drag yourself to your hooves.

>>385641
Ravenback is about to strike your throat for the kill, but he's stopped by a wall of light.

"SKYLIGHT! DO NOT GIVE IN TO THEIR TRICKERY!"

"They surrender, Lord Ravenback. Show them mercy."

Lord Ravenback looks at you and Felfire expectantly. Do you surrender?

Spring Water: 2/5h 3/5w
Curry: Unc, 1/5w
Felfire: 5/5h, 4/5w

Felfire [Necromancer] 385643

Sateo [DD monk] 385645

"'tis pure 'o heart stuff be a bunch 'o lies, how can ye judge a creature's heart?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385646

>>385645
"Fucked if I know, it's a bunch of religious bulcannon fodderit, but the golems can be very real and I don't want to fight those."

Sateo [DD monk] 385647

>>385646
I spit to the side "stupid priests, settin' up weird traps everywhere."

Wf+6 385648

>>385643
You trip over yourself and fall on your back as you leap. Probably unwise to leap backward.

>>385644
Lord Ravenback advances and crushes your horn with a powerfist, then does the same to Felfire's catalyst.

"RAVENBACK! What are you doing? This is mutilation!"
"They'll use their devilish magic against us, Sister Skylight."

Chains materialize next to Skylight. "Use these. They're more clement."

Ravenback chains the two of you to Curry. "You're fortunate Sister Skylight was here. If it were up to me, I would kill you all for this treachery."
"That is NOT our way, Lord Ravenback."
"Not your way. I am an Inquisitor. Above Emperor's laws."
"No one is above Emperor."
"Wait here. I'm going to check the Vigilance Orbs."

Ravenback disappears into the break room.

Sister Skylight scrunches and checks Curry for wounds. "Your daughter was ejected out the trash chute by Lord Ravenback. You all are trespassing, you know, even if you didn't deserve the life beaten out of you… I hope she's alright…"

Skylight looks more like a carrot than anything else. She's orange, and has a green mane.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 385649

>>385647
"At least not Looona temple."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385650

Look in disbelief at her.

Wf+6 385652

"Lord Ravenback did."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385653

>>385652
"What wrenched monster would do something like that?!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385654

>>385648
I scream in agony as he crushes my horn and collapse in pain, holding my head in my powerfists. Gritting my teeth, I try to ignore the pain and talk to this mare
"Must… find… Summer… where… is… chute…?"

Sateo [DD monk] 385655

"A place ye raided?"

Wf+6 385656

>>385653
"Sometimes I wonder."

She indicates the hatch on the wall.

"It was inhumane, but it leads out to the sea. She… should be alright. She knows how to swim, doesn't she?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385657

"Oh, then what was it?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385666

>>385663
"And what the fuck can I do about it without triggering that shit, huh?"

Wf+6 385667

>>385661
She looks a little torn and looks at the hatch uneasily.

"It's too small for anyone our size."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385668

>>385664
Then I shall do so.
Coughing up a fair bit of leftover blood as I do so.
"What… where is… bastard, I'll…"
And then I'll cough some more.

"I can't just let you go…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385673

"It's not the first time I've been in chains, if this is what you say…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385680

>>385677
The hell do I care, I have to find Summer.
"Where is miss Spring's daughter? By the moon, priest, if she is harmed I will have both your and his hides."

Sateo [DD monk] 385681

"I'll send Cheese to scout out the place." Send my mouse across over to the room.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385682

>>385676
"I'm all ears if you have any great plans."

Tony [Trickster] 385683

>>385681
"It's a start."

>>385682
"There were some other passages down there. Maybe there's another way in."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385684

>>385683
"And if they do come back?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 385685

>>385682
I run a hoof over my badge
"I wonder… perhaps miss Rosemary could go past it without triggering the alarm…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385686

>>385685
"Then do so! You were fucking helpful with ideas so far!"

Tony [Trickster] 385687

>>385684
"Well, we can keep waiting here for a few more minutes if you want to be sure. But if they don't come back soon, we'll have to do something."

Wf+6 385688

>>385681
He reports back a few moments later.

There's a big pony in armor messing with orbs.

>>385680
Sister Skylight looks like she could be your twin, though she's a bit younger.

"I just finished saying, she went down that hatch. Stay still, you're going to bleed yourself out…"

>>385678
>>385679
"Oh dear. Well, Lord Ravenback will find them with the Vigilance Orbs."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385689

>>385688
"Meanwhile, the kid is dying down there! Let me get my daughter, please! She can fly and save her!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385690

>>385688
"There's… a lot of them… imprisoned us… wanted to use us to get past barrier because of pure intentions…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385691

>>385688
"What do I care if I bleed out. Miss Seas must live. Now either help me keep a child safe or get out of my way and let me do it myself, you bloody carrot."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385692

>>385688
SO LOCK RIGHT
I try to break it with my magic.

Sateo [DD monk] 385693

"Aye, Cheese saw a big pony and it was pressing some orbs." I lean in and whisper "What 'o th' crew Cheese?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385694

>>385693
"Shit…"

Tony [Trickster] 385695

>>385693
"big pony pressing some orbs… That doesn't right."

Wf+6 385696

>>385693
No sight of them in the next room.

>>385692
You try to befriend it, then realize telekinesis would be a more effective form of magic for this.

>>385689
"Okay…"

She separates your chains from the others, but keeps you bound. "Show me."

>>385691
"You wouldn't even fit!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385697

>>385696
"If I can see her, I can still lift her back up. That bastard didn't break my horn."

Light Heart [Warlord] 385698

>>385693
"That is quite unfortunate."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385699

>>385696
C'mon…
I gotta get outta here! Break that lock!

Tony [Trickster] 385700

"So who's on board for finding another entrance before that big pony decides to take a look in here?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385701

>>385696
"She's behind the barrier!
I… Some necromancer did something to her…. Said if the trap was active, she would die passing through.
They called it… Their 'life insurance'!"
Bawl my eyes out.
Not hard when I'm bound.

Light Heart [Warlord] 385702

>>385700
"Any ideas, mister Tony? As a diamond dog, I imagine you must be much more at home underground."

Sateo [DD monk] 385703

>>385696
>>385700
"Aye. We need to find th' ones who went in.. "

Tony [Trickster] 385704

>>385702
Take a look around again.
What other passages were there?

Wf+6 385705

>>385697
"Can you call her, if I open the hatch?"

>>385699
It holds firm.

>>385701
"Unfortunate."

She returns you to your lockup with the others. "We'll have to use his way instead."

>>385704
One to the south, one to the west.

Felfire [Necromancer] 385706

>>385705
"Just let me call for her before the pirates arrive! They are all waiting at the entrance of this place! I can call her and get her through!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385707

>>385705
"I should be able to. Provided I can actually get over there. Should be able to."
I'll groan slightly.
"If that idiot hadn't broken miss Spring's horn, this wouldn't be a problem. Who breaks a doctor's horn? Honestly, inquisitors are a menace. Always have been."

Tony [Trickster] 385708

>>385705
"We could take a quick look in that west passage. Or maybe that mouse could."
Point at cheese.

Wf+6 385709

>>385706
"We can't get her through it it will kill her."

>>385707
She frowns, but helps you to your hoo ves and over to the hatch before opening it.

"I don't agree with Ravenback's methods, but we are tasked to protect this place."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385710

>>385705

I keep trying to break it! I even use my hooves if necessary!

"You could turn off the trap for a moment!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 385712

>>385708
"Yes, an excellent idea. Send the mouse."

Sateo [DD monk] 385713

>>385708
>>385712
"Aye," I set cheese down and point him to the west passage "Off bravely little bucko."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385714

>>385709
"While I'm doing that, could you help this poor mare? The pirates who put her up to this did such horrible things, and harming a child is well within their skills."
And then I'll shout down the vent.
"Miss Seas! Do you hear me? Are you alright?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385715

>>385709
I'll just be here, whimpering in pain and clutching my poor horn.

Wf+6 385716

>>385710
At least you don't manage to hurt yourself. You hear Curry calling for you.

>>385711
"Then the pirates could get through."

>>385713
He crosses to the end of the passage with no trouble. There's a fountain here. He's small enough to crawl inside the water intake and see where it leads. Rats can hold their breath under water for 15 minutes and can cross half a mile of open sea without issue. Should he?

Sateo [DD monk] 385717

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385718

>>385716
I swim back to the hatch.
"Mister Curry? I- Is that you?!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385720

>>385716
"They are at the entrance of these tunnels! Behind the walls of light! It's gonna take them hours to pass them!
Just let me call for her!"

Try to shout at the top of my lungs.
"Emrille! My love! We are coming to take you away before the pirates come!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385721

>>385720
Do I hear that?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385723

>>385718
I'll sigh in relief.
"Yes!"
I'll turn as best I can to Spring.
"She's alright! Well, alive at least."
I'll turn back down the chute.
"Can you get into view of the chute? I can try to bring you back up!"

Wf+6 385725

>>385717
After a few minutes he reports back.

Magic makes the fountain run. I found a room with a lot of runes in it that runs under the north passage. Most of the runes seem unrelated to the water fountain.

>>385721
Yes.

>>385720
"I'll let Lord Ravenback know."

Felfire [Necromancer] 385726

>>385725
"Please!"
Give my most miserable face.
'1d10'
I'm kinda miserable at all times anyway.

"I- Is my momma up there?!"

Wf+6 385728

>>385726
Your sinister, maniacal grin makes her seriously doubt everything you have to say.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385729

>>385725
"My love?… Wait… fuck, take away from pirates?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385730

>>385727
"Yes! I'll bring you right back up."
Take a deep breath, and then exhale. Can't screw this up. '1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Sateo [DD monk] 385731

>>385725
I pet Cheese, since I don't have any more rations on me. "Thar be a magic fountain, an' a room full of runes that run under the northern passage, the runes aren't part of the fountain.. an' I suggest we ship out before the big on' comes tis way.."

Tony [Trickster] 385732

>>385725
I'll assume Sateo told us.

"So we could go into that room from that fountain?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 385733

>>385728
Isn't a one, like, the most miserable I could ever be?
Like, a brick falls on me on top of crying and all?

Sateo [DD monk] 385736

>>385735
"I heard it, 'n It sounded like a warnin' to me"

Light Heart [Warlord] 385737

>>385735
"That much was obvious already. But let us not trigger those golems, or we will be in more than just trouble."

Tony [Trickster] 385738

>>385735
"That would explain why they aren't coming back.
It still doesn't solve the problem of us not being able to get there through the north"

Wf+6 385739

>>385730
>>385734
You bring her up. Summer has rejoined the group at the top.

Skylight seems a little relieved.

>>385733
1 is always the most unfortunate thing for the situation.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385740

>>385739
I'll just collapse.
"Miss Seas, see to your mother."
I'll glance up at the priest.
"I suppose I should thank you, Carrot."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385742

>>385739
I rush over and grab Spring into a tight hug.
"MOMMA! I- I was so sca-… w- what… did something…"
I gasp in horror as I see her horn.

Tony [Trickster] 385745

>>385743
"That room with the runes might be the chamber where they control all these traps."
Look at Sateo.
"Did your mouse say there was an entrance to that room near the fountain?"

Sateo [DD monk] 385746

>>385743
"Wit' all respect Maim, I don't want to be back in that cell.. or worse"

Okay. It's better now.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 385749

>>385747
Goddamn.
I don't care if I'm chained up.
Just hug the shit out of her somehow.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 385750

Her horn's repaired now? It's alright?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385751

>>385745
"Think we could do something there? How do we get to those runes? Or can the mouse do it?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385752

>>385748
"Curry."
I'll look towards the others.
"So are you just going to leave them over there, or are you going to go keep a leash on your rabid inquisitor?"

Wf+6 385753

>>385750
It's alright.

Everyone in Emrille's group should perception check.

"Lord Ravenback outranks me."

Tony [Trickster] 385754

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385761

>>385753
"No excuse for such tactics. Mangling the horn of a prisoner, and a doctor no less. He's probably a bloody prime example of the temple-burning garbage Celestials have been for the last several hundred years."
>>385758
"Because he's a zealot, miss Spring. And zealots don't think. It breeds free will."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 385762

>>385759
"I don't know, but we can try. It's the best we can do now."

Wf+6 385763

Lord Ravenback has appeared at the door and is staring at you.

>>385761
She scrunches. "Well you're not getting any sympathy from me by insulting Celestia."

With that, she summons shackles for Summer and locks the two of you up with Spring Water, then leaves.

Sateo [DD monk] 385764

>>385754
>>385762
"Aye. You heard them Cheese, break up those runes for us, and I'll make sure to plunder you a nice meal when we're out of this."
>>385763
Send the rat to try and turn off the runes.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385765

>>385763
I'll shout after her.
"Who said I was insulting her? It's her inquisitors who are idiots!"
I'll wince as that probably didn't help my wounds.

He disappears into the fountain again. A few moments later, the floor loses is sheen.

Sateo [DD monk] 385771

>>385766
"Ah, it seems to have worked."

385772

>>385769
"Nopony else. Though we could lead you to where they have holed themselves up. We were planning on attacking them but we simply aren't strong enough. I see you are heavily armored… perhaps you could aid us? They have taken some of us hostage… children…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 385775

>couldn't

Wf+6 385776

>>385772
He gives you a cruel grin. "Oh, I've already spotted the pirates. Now as for dealing with you other trespassers… I believe you were forced here. And I'm happy to know no one else knows you're here but me. Do you have any idea what kind of holy ground you're stepping on?"

His grin darkens.

[Pause]

Anonymous 385785

Just FYI, when the slasher smile appears; even if you say no, he's probably still going to attack you.

Hmm… these chains… How big's the lock on them?

I'm still holding on to Summer like my life depends on it, trying my best to not break down completely.

"N- No… What happened to my m- momma?"
I sniffle and shiver.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386076

"Miss Felfire, how are you holding up?"

Summer Seas [Clericl] 386079

I gasp in horror and hug Spring tightly, shivering.
"H- H- He… why?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 386080

"What are we going to do right now?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386082

>>386079
I'll grimace.
"Because he's a Celestial Inquisitor. They'll kill anyone just for looking at them funny. Or if they think you looked at them funny. It was the Inquisitors who led the charge to burn, pillage, and generally lay waste to the Lunar temples in the past."
I'll cough slightly, and frown.
"So good to see the tradition being upheld."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386083

"Let Heart handle it!"

Sateo [DD monk] 386084

I scowl at you and go around a corner. Not sure where we are anymore, but I think west is the way I would want to go

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386085

>>386080
"Miss Felfire, if you can come a little closer, I think I might be able to break the lock on your manacle. In my condition that might be a bit risky, but… it's worth a shot. And if I can free you, I can free the rest of us."

Felfire [Necromancer] 386086

>>386084
The inquisitor is standing right in front of the group, the intention trap is down, LH is sweet talking him.

Isn't that priest right here with us?

Summer Seas [Clericl] 386088

Felfire [Necromancer] 386119

Monkey agility is an Instant Automatic with recharge 3, for RAI.
RAW dates back to before instant was even a thing, and it hasn't been updated yet.

Wf+6 386120

>>386119
In 1.4 it's passive! That's the version I'm using.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386121

That's because nobody bothers to update the doc. Let' me solve this in meta.

Wf+6 386122

>>386116
>>386108
>>386115
You tug and tug at the chains, which only agitates them further. By the time you finally get them off, Summer is knocked out cold.

>>386112
>>386117
Ravenback slashes for Emrille, but Chip leaps in the way. The force of the blade catches Chip off guard.

Protect will persist one additional turn. Chip has delayed 8 damage. Bear this in mind.

>>386113
He takes your movement as a cue to bring the blade back around, stabbing a dog while he's down. Poor guy. Cheese sort of picks at the blade ineffectually.

>>386110
>>386114
As he's turned, dealing with Sateo, Light Heart and Tony fire simultaneously at Ravenback's… back. He roars with pain.

"YOU WILL BE TAUGHT TO FEAR HER GLORY!"

Wark follows this up with a blow to the side of his helm with his axe, eliciting another bellow of pain.

Sateo: 0/5h 2/5w
Chip: 7/7h, 7/7w (Delayed: 8)

Frost shot, in his face.

Roll #1 10 = 10 / Roll #2 7 = 7

Chip(DD Knight) 386129

I wince at the pain but stay on my feet.
"Back off Emrille, I'll try to hold it." I then try to suppress Ravenback again.

You just want for me to roll a fail at holding this shit together and burst in tears, uh?

Roll #1 9 = 9

Wf+6 386138

>>386127
You hack at his armor with your claws and scratch them up a little.

>>386126
Your yells draw Ravenback's attention, and he takes a mighty swing for your throat, connecting at the shoulder. Grisly. Or it would be, if Wark didn't interfere. He even gets in a glancing blow.

"Stop paintin' a target on yer back ya caterwallin' caterpillar!"

Rosemary fares better, choking out a heal as she watches Wark take the hit.

>>386128
You roll up and to your feet, feeling a little fresher for your efforts.

Cheese tries to get the blade to detach, but it's a conjured weapon fused to the Inquisitor's arm. He nearly fries himself, but you pull him away just in time.

>>386123
You miss, and he closes for a hit, but Chip takes this one too.

>>386129
You come down crushingly on his back, knocking him back, but your adrenaline gives out and you collapse.

>>386130
With a deft slash, you strike away some of the heavy armor on his back.

"I HAVE NOT BEGUN TO FIGHT! IN HER NAME!"

Two black corvid-esque wings burst from his back, and Inquisitor-Lord Ravenback takes to the air.

>>386135
You're also going through those like… twice per round.

>>386133
You shake her to wakefulness.

Roll #1 9 = 9

Wf+6 386150

>>386142
Ravenback dives and tears into you, smashing through your protective bubble and cutting into your armor. You only see a flash of a small grin in the second he passes by, inches from your face, before barreling on.

>>386143
>>386146
His path leads him to Tony, who attempts to pull some smooth moves, but only ends up getting skewered. Ravenback gives a callous laugh and flings Tony's ragdoll form at Emrille's hooves.

>>386145
This gives Emrille an opening to fire, though, and she blasts one of his wings.

"YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!"

>>386148
You take the opportunity to leap up and give him a clobbering punch.

>>386149
I'm not sure if you want a response from me or something here. You can do whatever you want with RP rolls.

>>386144
You're still chained up.

>>386139
You fire off two misses, which gives Ravenback the opening to regain his momentum that he needed.

He rushes your trio and slashes through you and Wark in a flurry of light. At least Rosemary escapes long enough to help Chip.

>>386141
You're back on your feet, stable. A little trickle of blood runs down your cheek, and you taste something salty, but it only strengthens your resolve.

>>386152
I sure did forget to post your hit meter. Wise roll, even if you do take another 1.

>>386154
You take a swing at him, but he vaults back, out of your reach with his wings. He gives you a smirk.

"THE LIGHT PROTECTS ME!"

>>386155
He effortlessly dodges, but can't close fast enough to strike at you.

>>386157
You rattle them a little more. At least they don't strangle you again.

>>386159
Lord Ravenback closes and brings his blade down on you. It's hot with your blood as you collapse under it.

>>386161
>>386167
You get in a firm cudgel blow against Ravenback while you block the attacks against Rosemary.

"YOU WILL SUFFER THE WEIGHT!"

He roars in frustration as his wings become weighed down by frost. You don't let up your barrage of ice for a second.

>>386182
You pierce his armor with bullets twice, but Wark gets a little too close and is knocked aside. Rosemary tries to fix up Sateo, and is successful to a degree.

"SISTER SKYLIGHT! INTRUDERS! WHERE ARE YOU?"

>>386185
You roll back to your feet. Lucky, too, because you evade a narrow slash of a blade that tears up the stone floor.

>>386186
You bash him, and he's starting to seriously show his wear. He makes contact with a wall and starts to breathe heavily.

>>386187
No luck.

>>386189
You jab your blade into his armor multiple times, and blood begins to leak everywhere.

>>386190
Sister Skylight peaks back into the room for a moment, then

"SISTER SKYLIGHT! INTRUDERS! WHERE ARE YOU?"

Skylight is requested

The unicorn priest retreats back into the room and opens the door, joining the fight.

Your shot is well-placed, but Ravenback has renewed vigor. He thrashes out of range of Wark, though Rosemary's healing is successful.

He aerially dodges to the side and feints left before moving on to Sateo.

Wf+6 386234

>>386210
He vaults forward, trailing Tela and blade, and slashes at your legs before pulling free and turning on Light Heart's group.

>>386211
Ravenback sees you distracted, and moves in, slashes between all three of you, bringing down a lot of pain. Wark tries to cover for Rosemary, and gets the brunt of it.

>>386212
You snap it off with bestial vigor. So fierce!

>>386213
Some marksman you are. It misses.

>>386215
Your magic bolt pierces her bubble, and she scrunches as she gets a faceful of arcane energy.

>>386218
Ravenback sees you moving in low, and he strikes at you, pinning you with his blade.

"HOW DOES IT TASTE?"

Cheese gets up close and nibbles at her.

>>386219
Chip interrupt's Wark's protection and takes it instead.

>>386223
He sees your attack coming a mile away and gores your belly in a brutal manner.

>>386225

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 386251

Wf said it worked differently in Pirates when I asked him a few weeks ago.

Wf+6 386252

>>386249
I told him I'd treat it as a wound-only version of Heal against non-helpless targets. So you could, on a 9, heal your target for 1 wound, or on a 10, heal them for all wounds.

Wf+6 386254

>>386236
Sister Skylight gives you an odd look and doesn't budge.

Wark takes a bite out of Ravenback, literally, as he grips with his mouth to get in a few more axe swings.

Rosemary attempts to help Wark, but is caught off guard. Fortunately, Chip takes the blow.

>>386237
It doesn't even have runes on it!

But Fervored comes out of your shadow anyway.

>>386239
When you try your best and you don't succeed, it feels like you're stuck in reverse.

Better look for some lights to guide you home.

>>386240
Winded, you roll to your feet. You don't think you can take another hit like that.

>>386241
You're not in harm's way, but you're also too exhausted to get up.

>>386242
He roars in fury as it sears him.

>>386243
You bullrush Skylight, but Ravenback slashes across your back, brutally. Wark takes the blow, saving your life NARROWLY.

>>386248
He nods and leaps to take the hit with his shield.

>>386244
Her bubble weakens as you slash at it.

>>386245
You roll to your feet and kick him in the face.

Cheese scurries about her legs trying to throw her off-balance, but he's just too small.

>>386246
To the north, there is a vault door. To the west, there is a hatch.

>>386247
You grip Ravenback with a claw and pull some of his life essence out, giving it to Sateo.

Wf+6 386272

>>386256
You try to slink off, but Ravenback catches you in the back.

>>386257
He can't get close. Lord Ravenback screeches:

"SHADOW TRICKERY! STAY ALART, SKYLIGHT!"

He slashes at Fervored.

>>386258
As you approach, he turns, furious.

"I let you close once, gryphon. NOT AGAIN!"

He gives you a terrible licking with his blade.

>>386259
She's about to reply when Ravenback interrupts her.

"LOOK AT THEIR COMPATRIOT! THIS IS A JAILBREAK!"

Rosemary does close some of Chip's wounds.

Wark puts another dent in the bubble. It appears to be about to pop.

>>386261
You are physically up. Nowhere near the fight, of course.

>>386262
Ravenback takes another bullet to the knee torso.

>>386263
You go into an existential crisis when you realize that you have already raised your shadow, and you can't raise it twice. Or maybe it's from the chains. Or the fact that you have a bloody horn in your mouth. Either way, roll to get out of it.

>>386264
You almost feel like you were making progress at one point, but not now.

>>386267
At least you fixed his horn.

>>386268
With that, you smash through her bubble. She scrunches to have you up so close.

Ravenback closes and slashes through both you and Cheese.

You've got it together, though Fervored takes another hit trying to steal some keys. He reports:

I don't think I see any keys. Are you sure conjured manacles have keys?

>>386277
Rosemary healed you up, though!

Your flailing does earn you a stern slashing, though.

Rosemary heals herself up.

Skylight gets cut up.

>>386319
The world seems to slow as a fog sets in.

Next round, no one can make combat rolls.

>>386320
He sees you coming and catches you on his blade. This is far too brutal to survive by anyone's standards, especially for one so weakened. You begin to choke on your own blood as you look down, and sort of gargle a gasp as you see you've sprouted a golden blade in your chest.

It all goes black.

>>386321
He screeches with terrible pain as you shoot him again. The fire spreads to the rest of his coat and sears his wings.

"CELESTIA… LIGHT!"

>>386322
You give him one crushing blow after another, and slowly backs away from the group, panting.

>>386323
You jab your blade through his armor twice, and he falls to his knees.

>>386324
Being on his knees doesn't stop him from cutting down a unicorn that runs straight past him, though.

Your mis-casted magic sears through Chip, killing him.

You are too exhausted. You fail to cast the spell, and fall over, helpless.

>>386334
She gets up. Rosemary fucks up the heal, but Skylight gets up on her own.

It forms.

He's probably gone back into that room.
"Get everyone back on their hooves! I'll make sure he doesn't send out that golem."

If he is, I'll attack with my trident. '1d10'

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386373

>>386369
"Then we need to do what we came to do, and then get you out of here as well. You'll likely be killed for siding with us during that fight. And for helping miss Seas."

"Lucky Necromancer's Hoof!"

There is a phonograph nearby. It was knocked over and stopped playing.

There are a number of orbs along the east wall. One is glowing red.

>>386411

Door is shut.

Tony [Trickster] 386415

Open my astral eyes.
Where am I?

Light Heart [Warlord] 386417

>>386414
Wait what? But I just convinced her again, right?
"Miss Skylight please, we are not here to cause you harm in any way. None of us."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386418

>>386414
Well, bother. I guess I'm sitting out here with a dead dog on my back. Great.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386419

>>386414
Uh.
A necromancer's hoof.
I guess it can't hurt to take it. Maybe I can find a way to commune with it.
And start the recording again.
Maybe it's music.

Inspect the orbs closer.
Number of orbs, writings near them, anything.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386420

>>386414
I frown as she locks us out.
"Skylight, let us in. I promise nopony will hurt you."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386426

>>386423
"Let us hope he got lost along the way."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386427

>>386423
"I call bullshit on that."

Tony [Trickster] 386428

>>386423
Shrug.
"So what? You think Celestia is coming all the way here just for us?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386429

>>386427
"It isn't beyond the realm of belief, Emrille. After all, couldn't Bounder teleport at a whim? Who is to say he's the only one?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386431

>>386429
"Yeah, but straight to the pretty little princess? 'I'm tired of fighting for my life, let's fly to the castle!'!"
I snort.
"Fucking likely."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386432

>>386429
>>386431
"Princess Celestia wouldn't support someone like him…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386433

>>386431
I'll shake my head.
"He probably went to tell her whatever's in this vault is about to fall into the 'wrong hooves.' And request more inquisitors."

Tela [Spellsword] 386434

>>386432
"He seemed like a scumbag alright."

Tony [Trickster] 386435

>>386433
Nod.
"Seems the most likely.
Wherever he is, he knows we're here and he didn't seem like the type to just let us go."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386436

>>386432
"He was out of his fucking mind…"
Look at the slash he made at me.

>>386433
"That is why we need to get a move on!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386437

>>386432
"Wouldn't she? You don't see many Lunar temples on the surface these days…"
I'll shake my head again.
"But no use worrying about that. We have to worry about what's in front of us at this moment."

Sateo [DD monk] 386438

>>386433
"Must be somethin' worth gettin' then.. shall I give a go' to tunnel us into th' room?"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386439

>>386436
"He crushed and nearly broke my horn…"
I glower
"I hate inquisitors…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 386440

>>386433
"He can shove that inquisition up his ass.
Once I'm done with him, I will raise his body and run a chain from his limp dick to his brain.
And you can bet he will feel it."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386441

>>386437
"H- He crushed my momma's horn! A- And… and he started fighting! She can't… sh- she just can't…"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386442

>>386441
"Well, let's look at it this way, miss Seas. For every Inquisitor like him, there's at least one priest like Carrot in there. Just like how Lunites aren't all bad ponies, even if everyone else thinks we are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386443

>>386438
"I think it is better reinforced than that."

>>386439
>>386441
"He did what?!.. That fucker, the second he shows his face again he will be eating bullets… but if he plans to come back with others, that will have to wait for some other time."

>>386443
"I meant th' room th' others ran into not th' vault"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386447

>>386445
"If anything, we will need a way out if things go downhill. And killed your who?"

Wf+6 386448

>>386419
There are eight orbs. Most of them are filled with ethereal gas. Several are focused on the area where the wall of light was encountered, but no one is there now. One near the front is glowing red.

Hoof get.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386449

>>386448
Well fuck.
Near the red glowing one and look inside. It's a security breach or something?
I bet it's the inquisitor.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386450

>>386448
I knock on the door again.
"Um… miss Mare? Can you please let us in?…"

Sateo [DD monk] 386451

>>386447
"Cheese and Chip, he be the one responsible for their early graves."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386452

>>386451
"Don't worry, they can be brought back on the ship, for a price."

Wf+6 386454

>>386449
There is nothing inside the red orb except red. It's glowing red, waning and waxing.

Skylight seems to have left the room through the north door.

>>386450
She doesn't respond.

Light Heart [Warlord] 386455

>>386448
pls
>>386417


>>386451
"We can bring them back, miss…?"

Wf+6 386456

>>386455
She's out of earshot.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386457

>>386454
Open the door to the others.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386458

>>386454
Is the door locked? Can I open it? '1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386459

>>386454
I knock a bit harder.
"M- Miss Mare? Are you there? Please open the door…"

Wf+6 386460

>>386458
>>386457
It's locked, but Felfire opens it.

386461

>>386448
I guess.. dig us a way out of here

Roll #1 7 = 7

Light Heart [Warlord] 386462

>>386456
I honestly have no idea what is going on right now.
Track down the damn minion I just reacquired.
"Miss Skylight?"

Wf+6 386463

>>386461
Which way do you dig?

Felfire [Necromancer] 386464

>>386459
"She's gone north kid."
>>386460
Back to the orb.
Touch one of those focused on the wall of light.
What happens?

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386465

>>386460
In we go, then. Once Felfire's cleared the way. I'll set Chip on one of the chairs.

Tony [Trickster] 386466

>>386460
Go in.
"Where's that mare?"

Wf+6 386467

>>386464
The focus shifts to the next hallway, now aimed at the door to the prison.

>>386462
She's working on the vault door.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386468

>>386466
Nod him towards the door the mare went into.

Tony [Trickster] 386469

>>386464
"North?
Well great, now she's calling in the cavalry."
Start walking back to the door.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386470

>>386462
Follow her

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386471

>>386464
"Why'd she go north?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386472

>>386467
After I set down Chip, I'll follow the others after Skylight.

>>386463

Roll #1 9 = 9

Light Heart [Warlord] 386474

>>386467
Tap her on the shoulder
"Miss Skylight what are you doing?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 386475

>>386467
Oh well. Touch the red glowing orb.
>>386471
"Call more ponies."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386476

>>386471
"The vault's there."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386477

>>386471
"I think she's scared…"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386478

>>386475
>>386477
"Sh- she's not going to call more ponies like that evil one… is she?"

Sateo [DD monk] 386480

>>386452
>>386455
I look a little confused but nodded at this.

Wf+6 386481

>>386473
You dig east.

>>386474
She seems startled.

"The vault is guarded by an immensely powerful spirit. The Hero of the Hopeless. If the hopeless ever needed a hero, it's now."

>>386475
It shatters immediately.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386482

>>386481
Anything else happens?
'1d10' spot check.

Roll #1 10 = 10

Sateo [DD monk] 386483

Keep digging for a while '1d10'

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386484

>>386481
"But isn't there always hope, Priest?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 386485

>>386481
"Please stop that. I'm aware you are in some distress at the moment, but as I said before we are not here to bring harm, only to retrieve what doesn't belong to the Celestials."

Wf+6 386486

>>386482
Nothing.

>>386483
You do that.

>>386484
"As long as She protects us."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386487

>>386481
I guess I follow Light Heart over to her.
"M- Miss… you aren't going to call more ponies like that evil inquisitree, are you?"

Tony [Trickster] 386488

>>386481
Walk after them to the vault.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386489

>>386481
"What? What does that mean?"

386490

>>386486
Raise Chip.

Roll #1 4 - 1 = 3

Wf+6 386491

>>386485
"Those pirates are probably a lot less amenable."

>>386487
"Only a benevolent spirit within."

>>386490
You tucker yourself out.

386492

>>386490
I meant Resurrect, not Raise.
Try to stand up.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386494

Cough up some blood and look up at Summer.
"Kid, do you mind giving me a hoof?"

Wf+6 386495

>>386492
You could really do with a nap. Zzzzzzzz

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386496

>>386491
>>386489
"Benevolent? So it won't attack us or anything?"

Tony [Trickster] 386497

>>386491
Take a look at what exactly Skylight is doing '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Wf+6 386498

>>386493
You hit stone.

>>386496
She scrunches. "Wait, you're a pirate, too, right? So it will! Get away from me!"

386499

>>386491
"They are not pirates, miss Skylight. They are privateers. Hired ponies to retrieve stolen goods."
Bluff

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Felfire [Necromancer] 386500

Yeah…
I'm sure Fervored wants me for something though…

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386501

Flutter my eyes.
"But miss, I am just a little filly! How do we get past it?!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386502

>>386496
"She never said that, Emrille."
I'll frown slightly and shake my head.
"I take it we, and all associated with us, are beyond the scope of the Sun's benevolence."
I'll huff a bit.

386503

>>386498
Okay, try to break through.

"Skylight please stop that… No more suffering. No more bloodshed."

Wf+6 386506

>>386501
That's pretty hard to buy in a scary outfit like that.

>>386499
He scrunches. "But they said they were pirates."


>>386500
ZZZZZzzzzz

>>386504
You don't wake her from her nap.

>>386503
You crack through and peek. You come out in a hallway.

386507

>>386504
Smile at her.


Try to resurrect Chip one last time.

Roll #1 10 - 1 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386508

>>386506
"And they are. But that doesn't make them, well, completely evil. Just like not all of your clergy are completely good."

Tony [Trickster] 386509

>>386506
Sit down and let the others do the talking.

386510

>>386506
can I see anything interesting here?

Roll #1 3 = 3

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386511

"Wait… miss Feelfear?"
I shake her and try to heal her again, panicking.
'1d10+5'

Roll #1 6 + 5 = 11

Light Heart [Warlord] 386512

>>386506
"If we were, we would have taken you out already, no? We are not here with malicious intent."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386514

>>386508
Flutter up on his back and lower my voice.
"SHut the fuck up! Why must you always fucking spoil everything with your big fucking mouth?! You don't tell ponies we are pirates unless we want them to know, you fucking idiot! Don't make me shoot your tongue out of your fucking mouth!"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386515

>>386514
I'll huff at her.
"There's really no point sugarcoating it…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386517

>>386515
"My point is that you get a fucking bullet in your brain if you keep this shit up! I don't need a fucking burden with us all the time! That clear enough?!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386518

>>386506
I rub my horn painfully
"I am a doctor. And my daughter is training to become one too. We don't exactly share the same religion, but… we could use your help."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386519

>>386517
"Fine. But I can only bend the truth so far."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386520

>>386519
"Shut your fucking mouth then, it's not so hard."

With that, I hop down from his back.

Wf+6 386522

>>386507
He's up.

>>386518
>>386512
"The guards are coming. If you really aren't here with malicious intent, then the vault guard won't hurt you."

With that, she starts working on opening the vault.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386523

Wf+6 386524

>>386511
Noted.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386525

>>386522
"We are just her to swoop in and grab a few things. So can that spirit be kept at bay?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386526

>>386522
"If that's what it takes. I only came here as a favor, and to help the doctors."

Felfire [Necromancer] 386527

>>386522
Grunt and fall to my hooves, resting on the scythe.
>>386523
"Thanks kid.
I guess the dog now has more needs for your attentions."
Smile at her.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386528

>>386527
I nod again and try to heal Chip.

"A- Are you okay mister Chip?…"

Roll #1 1 + 5 = 6

Light Heart [Warlord] 386529

I put a hoof on her hooves to make her stop.
"Please."

Oh no…

Fervored tries to keep me up.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386544

Am I up yet?
If yes, '1d10-1' to resurrect Chip yet again.
If not, '2d10' to stand up.

Roll #1 6 - 1 = 5 / Roll #2 7, 6 = 13

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386545

>>386538
I'll close my eyes for a moment.
"Priest, I'm afraid we can't just leave. There is likely hundreds of years of history in that vault."
I'll open my eyes and look her in hers.
"What if just one of us stayed to open the vault, and fetch the item we need?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386546

>>386541
"Be less vague?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386547

>>386546
"She likely means finding the path of the Celestial."

Light Heart [Warlord] 386548

>>386544
Rosemary could heal her '1d10'

>>386538
>>386541
"Thank you miss Skylight. All we wish is for the things the Celestials sacked to be retrieved from the vault. Is there a safer way in?"

Roll #1 2 = 2

>>386543
Can't make heads or tails of it, cap'n

>>386544
You up now.

>>386545
>>386546
"I don't know. I just know that she is here to guard the vault. I don't think she'll appreciate things being taken out."

Wf+6 386550

>>386548
"Opening the vault, as far as I know, will certainly awaken the spirit."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386551

>>386549
"Perhaps she can be reasoned with? Surely a 'hero' would not be beyond reason?"

Tony [Trickster] 386552

You've got to be kidding me.
Look again. '1d10'

Too many times. Too much…"

This room is mostly a metal hallway.

In the breakroom, there was a phonograph and some vigilance orbs.

Hm, go down, at a slope of course. there must be a way out.

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386575

Well she sure is helpful and talkative.
I sigh and go back over to Summer, picking her up and putting her on my back
"Now what do we do…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 386576

>>386561
So really everything is in the vault then…

>>386569
"I believe we should vote."

Tony [Trickster] 386577

Good.
But is there something that indicates an alarm is triggered when it gets opened?
Something that would wake the spirit?"

She frowns. "She might attack you if you're still here. You're pirates."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386579

>>386575
"Well, we can wait. Either we go in the vault, and try to reason with the spirit, or we wait for the guards and then our eventual executions."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386580

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386583

>>386578
"What if it is just the four you first met? Myself, miss Seas, miss Spring, and miss Felfire? We could pass through the barrier, so perhaps that will be enough for the spirit?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 386584

>>386582
"It's okay. I told you, death is not the end."
Smile softly at her.

Wf+6 386585

>>386581
You continue east.

>>386583

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386587

Tony [Trickster] 386589

>>386585
Look up.
"Well if we're going to go in, let's decide now before those guards get here."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386590

>>386585
"Then she shouldn't be beyond reason. Perhaps Fervored Freedom could even reason with her, as he's likely her senior in that department."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386591

>>386584
I sigh and nuzzle up to her hoof from Spring's back.

"Um… w- what are we talking about?"

"Our orders were once as close as family. Perhaps this spirit is from that time, like Fervored."

>>386597
>>386598
>>386599
>>386600
>>386601
"Perhaps we should… back away… As not to anger it when they enter."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386610

>>386603
"Well… you did just say not all Celestials are bad right? If you don't want to you don't have to though…"

Wf+6 386611

>>386606
There's a door to the west.

>>386607
You trip into the break room and smash a bunch of vigilance orbs.

>>386605
"You shouldn't try to hurt her! She's a spirit of good."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386612

>>386604
"Well, I was hoping Fervored could reason with the spirit of the Celestial who guards this vault, if we can't. Surely a hero of the hopeless would be open to reason, though."

386613

>>386611
any traps?

Roll #1 4 = 4

Tony [Trickster] 386614

>>386611
Crap.
Are there any left? '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Felfire [Necromancer] 386615

>>386612
"Wait.
No. Fucking no.
I heard of this.
The bard told her name! She's gonna kill us all!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386616

>>386610
>>386608
"I- I'll go then."
I gulp and approach the vault.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386617

>>386611
"And I wouldn't want to! But I need to defend myself in case she attacks me! I have so much left to live for, after all!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386618

>>386615
I freeze
"What? Why?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386619

>>386615
"What do you mean? Where could you have possibly heard of her before?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386620

>>386615
"What?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 386621

>>386618
"Why is not something you question with the bard."
>>386619
"A brain in a jar. Same one who told me to give Summer the moonstone."

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386622

>>386616
I'll take a few steps to stay near Summer, but remain vested in what Felfire has to say.

Wf+6 386623

>>386613
Not as far as you can see.

>>386614
There is one, on a higher pedestal.

Felfire [Necromancer] 386624

>>386616
"STOP!"

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386625

>>386621
"… A brain in a jar? What did it say exactly?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386626

>>386617
>>386623

>>386621
"What did he say?"

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386627

>>386621
I'll process that for a moment.
"Did he say why she would kill us?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 386628

>>386621
"So you suggest we leave this place and head back to the fleet?"

Tony [Trickster] 386629

>>386623
Look at it without touching it, what does it look like?

Wf+6 386630

>>386617
"I don't know?"

Wf+6 386631

>>386629
A glass orb filled with smoke.

386632

>>386623
Well, this is good a place to retreat to, but not a way out.. do I have a feeling of which way I should dig to get fresh air?

Roll #1 1 = 1

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386633

>>386624
"H- Huh? What?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 386634

>>386625
>>386626
"I can't remember, it's been days now… When we first docked, he talked about a hero of the hopeless. How she'd kill us all.
He loved the part where she tore my throat out and I gurgled in my own blood…"
>>386627
Shake my head.
>>386628
"I suggest we wait and think for a second."
>>386631
Fervored, does 'hero of the hopeless' ring any bell with you?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 386635

>>386630
"Guess then!"

Wf+6 386636

>>386632
There's a small cave in as you get back below and suddenly you forget which way you were digging from.

…Which way was that tunnel?

>>386634
Not to me.

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386637

>>386635
"Emrille, please. Yelling at her won't help."

Light Heart [Warlord] 386639

>>386634
"Do make haste. We do not have forever after all. Did she say it would attack the Lunites?"

I turn to Rosemary
"Does this Hero of the hopeless ring any bells by any chance, miss Rosemary?"

Wf+6 386641

>>386639
"I've never heard of such a thing."

Wark grumbles. "I have. Or kind of. I haven't, but I know."

Spring Water [Charlatan] 386642

>>386634
I frown deeply at that

Tony [Trickster] 386643

>>386631
Meh, uninteresting.
Wait here, next to the exit while the others are wasting time.

386644

>>386636
West.. if I can go back maybe the others will know which way the want me to dig

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn ?????] 386645

>>386641
"Then, master Wark, if you'd be so kind? Any information is better than none."

Light Heart [Warlord] 386646

>>386641
"Do elaborate, master Wark."

Felfire [Necromancer] 386647

>>386636
Look… Honey… If I sent you in? Just a quick thing. You grab those documents for me and then we can run back? Plain and simple.
Would you?

Lower myself and caress a cheek of the shadow.

Light Heart [Warlord] 386648

>>386646
Actually, he's dead! So he can't say shit!

Summer Seas [Cleric] 386649

>>386634
"W- Wha-?"
I back away from the vault.

Wf+6 386650

>>386644
You're pretty sure it was north, and keep digging that way instead.

>>386646
>>386645
Groves kindly reminded me he's dead. My bad!

>>386647
I could try

Light Heart [Warlord] 386651

>>386650
Can we just pause then?

Tony [Trickster] 386652

>>386650
Do I notice that tunnel from where I am? '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

386653

>>386650
right, well.. see if I can find my way back to the tunnel I dug before, back to the others

Roll #1 5 = 5
