He looks a little torn..
But finally gives you an acquiescing look.
>>438569
You feel warm as your wounds close and you feel the perseverance to stand enter your body. Skylight stands like a shining bulwark as dust flies all around.
Sitar tries a few little diddies but none of them seem to be depressing enough to Russo, who just remarks,
"Hard working machines, son."
Onik helps Tela with the crowd.
>>438571
You add to the commotion with another blast of your gun and nail Russo in the back. He growls in pain.
>>438572
You nail him down low as he turns to advance on Emrille.
>>438575
And you deliver a stunning punch to his jaw.
He backs up and yells, "YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME? YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE ALL THESE JOBS AWAY?"
The crowd is becoming frenzied!

"Be silent please."
Shoot him '2d10'!
Sitar can use Inspire instead, if he doesn't feel like Despairing '1d10'
Onik… motion him with my hooves to switch over to shooting Russo '1d10+1'
And Skylight can take over crowd control, this turn.
Roll #1 6, 10 = 16 / Roll #2 8 = 8 / Roll #3 9 + 1 = 10

Russo closes with you and pulls off a maneuver you've only seen once before, in a ringside fight back in '77. It's a bashing-slam-smash, and boy, is it more painful experiencing than watching. You are helpless.
>>438596
You are dangerouslycheesy well-armed and stagger him with your accuracy.
Sitar picks at his eponymous instrument.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am free again,
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am clean again,
However far away,
I will always follow you,
However long I stay,
I always follow you,
Whatever words I say,
I will always follow you.

She nods and directs her fire onto Russo. Because he didn't anticipate it, she slings a bullet with extra precision and grievously wounds him.
>>438605
Though terribly injured, he catches your fist and bashes your face, leaving you helpless.
>>438598
And you finish things, slashing across his back and driving a blade through his throat.
"YOU!"
And with that, he collapses bloodily.
The crowd is gathering for a massive attack! There will be at least nine unopposed attacks next turn!

You feel a little more grounded having picked off an aggressor.
>>438644
You only took two rolls instead of four, leaving more unopposed aggressors this turn.
Onik and Skylight get roughed up.
>>438648
>>438637
The crowd really rips into the two of you, but Chip protects Sateo for most of it. It's absolutely horrific. His body has been shredded: every bone broken, eyes hanging out, blood everywhere. Only adrenaline lets him stand. When it fades, he will certainly die without immediate attention.

You are browbeaten and in terrible duress, and you find yourself dragged away by the crowd, watching her disappear behind other ponies in the melee.

"Interesting. I haven't tried it before, but I might be able to. If you'd like, I will try. I don't think I can reverse this, though."

Yep. Lacking any particular favor from any of the divines, you get to float in the eternal black. You vaguely wonder if you were ever alive at all, or if it was a fleeting dream in the void itself. You wonder if Skylight is on the Eternal Esplanade. If Sitar made piece with whatever he believed in. Even what became of Onik. Do Diamond Dogs like Chip and Sateo even believe in the divinity of the pony pantheon? Where do they go?
…And dark.

The crowd disperses, assuming everyone is dead. Sateo awakens some time later, aching all over, on the verge of death.

Eventually it works off the shell and regards you. It is a little Griffon hatchling. Its eyes are… surprisingly deep for one only seconds old. Good body… she stretches her wings fiercely and gives off a little roar – that is actually quite soft in sound because of her size. You can tell she could become an apex predator some day.
>>438751
You aren't in earshot.
You return to the fleet, though, which is where Seekkill is doing his thing.

Perhaps you can find a way to make it useful."

Umlock, Ruxiang, Flux, Landgrave, and Bronze all indicate themselves, and Smitts recognizes Thirsty Umlock.
He gives a lengthy speech in an incomprehensible Northern tongue. At the end, Sunnyskies translates:
"It boils down to 'I'm going to kill anyone that doesn't support going to the Starry Slough."
"Yes, yes, thank you Umlock. Ruxiang?"
"We been idle too long. Gotta raid something. What does Dixie have for us? Nothing! A few slaves. Roads? Impossible to raid. Ottomanes been trying for decades. Starry Slough major trade outpost. Bring great wealth to fleet."
"Thank you. Landgrave."
"The greatest opportunity for wealth is not by way of simple raiding. Mister Ruxiang is correct that the Island of Roads is impregnable, but that is only a testament to the wealth and power within. We can still make great gains there, and we have contacts in the city that will help us crew our ships to continue raiding the Equestrian coast – and possibly the opportunity for much more. We're looking into the possibility of sailing up the Grand Canal – directly to the capital. It would be the first siege of Canterlot in centuries: but only possible with the batteries obtained in Roads. They would never see it coming, and we would make off with unfathomable wealth."
"Thank you Mister Landgrave. Mister Flux?"
"Dixie. Our only opportunity for realistic profit. Roads. We will never get what that unicorn promises you there. Lies. All of it, we've never had friends in Trotantium. Remnant. Nothing for us there. Slough? Even less of value. Lies. Again and again: take a look, and you'll realize that the Slough is even more heavily guarded than Stonebriar. Foolish. I balk at the idea of strolling past their defenses to raid it in both cases."
"Yes, thank you. And Mister Bronze?"
"Another nomination for the Island of Roads. Even if you don't buy into Mister Landgrave's claims, take into consideration that if we can so much as get inside, I bet we can raid it. The Ottomanes fail because their ships never get in range. They have no defenses on the inside: they're an island, remnant nation. No man-to-man land firepower."

Dixie is well-known for products such as tobacco and cotton, both of which are unable to be grown in Equestria. Aside from that, although concentrated on a few families, they are quite wealthy due to their trade. Hitting these particular families as well as their stockpiles of goods, would yield quite the bounty if sold back in Equestria. Aside from that, they are not nearly as guarded as the other two options, making this a easier target."

[Cautious]: "That may be the case, but with the acquisition of three new ships, a staggering HALF of our crew is untested. Do we really want to risk a fortress like one of those in our present condition?"
[Aggressive]: "Dixie has a lot more to offer than either of those two places. Why haven't they crushed Dixie, who lack the fleets or size of the other two nations? Because Dixie has unique magics and technologies that make them strong. We need those magics if we want to consider seriously challenging Equestrian might."

"Thank you, Mister Abilio. Acknowledged, Miss Topaz."
"Look, I normally wouldn't bother even showing up for this meeting, but we need to be realistic here. The Starry Slough is a non-option. First, it's literally the other side of the world. Wasteful! Why head there when there are much more viable nearby targets. It's ridiculous. Besides, most of this crew is completely untested. Are you going to put your lives in the hands of some mercenaries we just picked up? To say nothing of your own martial valor, consider for a moment that if our sailing and bilging teams – the menials who are constantly overlooked by our upper echelons – don't get the job done, we won't get in range, much less out of it."

"Yes. If you would allow me to be blunt, there is no doubt in my mind that the commodore would have tracked you all down and… well, most likely executed you all. Miss Emrille and I would have faced the consequences too of course, because we did take responsibility for you all."

Gaah… that wont do.
"as much as I like to prove myself, I got little time to make a workable piece of weapon since my ship will leave in 10 or 5 minutes from now. I dont want to be late again."

I'd do more, but I'm too tired right now.
Next time: Talk to Landgrave about CK's victory, recruit a new follower, get Rosemary upgraded, talk more to Sitar about his past, talk more to Wark, try to recruit Stein, try to convince Eclipse to join as Nihil's paladin, talk more to Face, talk more to Umlock, talk more to Al-Jinn, talk more to Onik, talk more to Red, …
Yeah. Lot of stuff ahead.
