WHAT ARE THE EXACT RULES FOR DEATH THIS GAME

HUG TO SAVE, LOAD UPON DEATH?

HUG TO SAVE, HUG TO LOAD?

I NEED TO KNOW!

>>3969726
PRE-GAME INFO: For this Quest, you will have precisely 3 continues. These are either triggered by the players from a group consensus or if Raisin is vanquished by some stone-destroying force. Hayseed must be in Raisin's inventory in order to load the game from a savepoint.

Also, you are allowed to have 2 consecutive saves. If there is a third older save, then it will be eliminated.

Hugging Hayseed will save the game. A vote must be conducted in order to 'Load Hug'.

>>3969902
In light of this, if we ever get to the point of needing to load, we should just fuck around and have fun/learn shit before blowing ourselves up in the more fun way possible.

I'm prepared to just suggest we save at the very beginning and just keep hayseed with us.

It would maximize our chance of success, by making sure we no saves past important decisions.

However this could also make the quest take forever.

Alright, it's been a while. I may start off a little rusty, but let's get this Raisin Quest rolling. It's going to be involved, but I believe in you guys. Best of luck!
---
The gossiping trills of some early morning birds startle you from the story you were reading. Having adopted a slight phobia for birds, you find their calls to be less soothing more than a nerve-wracking warning of their impending approach. Your eyes search your room fast, but it seems as though they’re all safely behind your lovely purple portrait of stained glass. You exhale a sigh of relief out of habit. At least they’re good for telling time, you think to yourself. Another night and another book have gone by. It’s still a little early in the morning, but you know that you’ve got school in about an hour.

Your hooves tap against the solid concrete floor of your bedroom as you tidy up in the mirror. Your stony exterior has a vitreous sheen; Dad’s buff job really brings out the brilliant little specs of gold in your rocky skin. It looks a lot better than when you used to paint yourself… while it did make you look like your old self, your lack of real hair, breathing, and your stony texture left others very uneasy, especially your mother. It’s been several months since you received this new look, but you’ve been finding your own ways to adapt.
(continued)

IT BEGINS!

>>3970034
The last one took a long time as well. Anyway if it gets too long Jr can just do what he did beforehand and sacrifice our lives for hints and put us in a situation where we need to act fast.

>>3970071
“Even as a chunk of rock, you still got your looks girl.” You reassure yourself with a smile and wink. Picking up a toothbrush and a bottle of pumice, you buff out a rough patch on your chest before shining up your smile. It took a little while to get used to Mom not calling you out for breakfast, but she’s never failed to call you out for a hug before school.

With Hayseed on your back and your skin with a glass like shine, you feel ready to tackle another day at school. It’s been a difficult year, but you embrace every new day as a challenge and an adventure. Diamond Tiara and her friend Silver Spoon have been really difficult to deal with, but you’re determined to succeed no matter what.

You're currently in your room. Hayseed rides upon your back.

Got my chocolate covered raisins. It feels good to be back in the saddle

>>3970085

Put Hayseed down, we don't need him for school.

>>3970071

gold specks huh?

>>3970119
>him

>>3970085

STARTING ITEMS AND HOW MUCH SPACE DO WE HAVE?

>>3970139

Welp, my spaghetti has been dropped.

I wasn't ready for this.

I...I'll go.

>>3970085
Hug Hayseed and then look around the room for items to take.

>>3970119

HAHA, NOPE

Never let that little fucker out of our sight.

do we have a stone digestive track? Would forcing our doll down our throat count as a hug?

>>3970133
GAME INFO: You wouldn't have known it from the course gray texture of your skin, but after being polished up, you discovered that you have some sparkly looking specks of what you have determined to be gold covering your body. An unexpected surprise, but definitely a fetching look, especially in the sunlight.

>>3970085
Find Saddlebag. Equip Saddlebag. Look for other things to take.

Stompstarter, if possible. For old times sake.

>>3970159

Pls stay.

>>3970157
GAME INFO: Currently, the only item you have is Hayseed. She sits on your back. You cannot feel her, but you know she's there for you.

You are not currently wearing your saddlebags.

>>3970196
Look around your room.

>>3970192

And a comb. Good god don't forget the comb.

But yes, gather school supplies.

Haven't Raisin Quested before, but what is Hayseed? A stuffed animal?

Anyway, get our saddlebags and check contents. Make sure we have everything we need for school.

Make sure you have everything you need for school. It would be bad to not have something when you really need it

>>3970196

Take inventory of our possessions. Grab saddlebag and equip.

>>3970171
>>3970192
>>3970210
>>3970215
You love the look of your new room. You’ve got a beautiful, hoof sewn ornate rug in the very center, a big desk, several bookcases filled with books from the Ponyville Library, and a closet nearly the size of your old room. Some of your old stuff still remains, like your old dresser and your saddlebags, but almost everything else, like the paintings, the windows, the chandelier… that stuff is all brand new.

You know you’ve got Hayseed up on your back, very close and very safe. Your trusty saddlebags, slightly worn and torn from your recent trip with your friends through the Everfree Forest, are filled with a few supplies already. You know you’ve got a spare Cosmetics kit in there… courtesy of the local stone carver in town. There’s also a Bouquet of Flowers you collected for Zecora on your last trip. Lastly, there’s a large piece of Twisted Iron that you bent out of an old pipe to use as a securing ring for rope. It came in handy when your friends fell into a gigantic crater deep in the Everfree Forest.

Since your last major adventure, you’ve taken to collecting adventuring supplies. Along the wall by your dresser are a myriad of tools hanging up. You’ve got a Spool of Rope, a Stompstarter, some Glass Vials, a very secure Firework Chest with Quarter Sticks of Dynamite, some Lamp Oil, a Hammer, a Saw, a Box of Nails, a Bag of Sneezing Powder, a large Satchel with a Money Symbol on the front, a Treasure Chest, and a Pack of Bubblegum.

>>3970217

It's our save game doll. As long as we have it we can achieve CHIM and reload if we fuck up.

dammit why didnt anyone tell me we started

>>3970217
GAME INFO: Hayseed is a small stuffed animal that you dearly love. She is a small pony that was sewn up by your mother. You've had her for as long as you can remember.

Giving her hugs helps you to focus and remember times past. It also helps you store your most precious memories.

>>3970246

OH GOD

SO MUCH SHIT.

>>3970246
On the dresser, you’ve got your Royal Medallion hung up. It’s very beautiful and very shiny. Depending on the day, it can make for a very alluring accessory.

There are two doors in your room; one leads out into the main hallway while another leads into your gigantic walk-in closet.

Sorry, couldn't fit it all in one post.

>>3970246

Ooooooh. what's the in money bag and the treasure chest?

>>3970246
Is our bag still capable of holding 4 things?

>>3970246
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>3970277
Oh, hey, can we see the stitching job Rarity did on it?

How many inventory and/or equipment slots do we have ?

>>3970246

How much dosh constitutes 1 item in space?

>>3970246
Not sure how much of this stuff we'll need right now since we're just going to school.

Bringing explosives to school is a bad idea, so the dynamite and stompstarter are out.

Don't see any immediate use for glass vials, lamp oil, or tools.

I say grab the sneezing powder, bubblegum and any school supplies we need and put them in our Saddlebags (which we should equip).

Check the weather, if it's sunny then wear the medallion.

>>3970246

>Lamb oil, rope, bombs

Stompstarter, Hayseed, and rope are necessities. School supplies would probably take up a space too.

>>3970346
We will most likely not be returning to the house

>>3970346
Also rope. Never know what you'll need it for but you'll always need it.

>>3970365
Shit... take the Stompstarter then. Just trying to avoid having stuff confiscated at school.

>>3970346

Bubblegum would be a powerful bribing tool on the plaground.

Why not? It's not like we're going to be thrown into another adventure the moment we step outside.

Jr pls

>>3970321
GAME INFO: Your saddlebags can still operate at maximum capacity. They may be slightly worn, but they have yet to fail you. The pockets are all in excellent condition, sewn up several times and patched to be sturdy. They will carry 4 items guaranteed.

>>3970320
GAME INFO: Inside of the Money Bag Satchel, you will currently find nothing. The empty satchel hangs from the top peg on your 'Adventure Board'.

The Treasure Chest actually contains quite a few bits. You've been saving up your allowance since you moved into your new home.

>>3970333
GAME INFO: You may dedicate one bag of a satchel or your saddlebags to hold currency. You can hold up to 100 bits at any given time in one single pocket.

What is a stompstarter?

>>3970246
Would chewing bubble gum do anything besides grind it up? I mean, would it even be chewed?

>>3970397
fire starter

>>3970303
Explore the closet and see what we keep in there.

>>3970406

okay

>>3970400
I was thinking about that, it seems silly to bring but that makes me want to bring it more

>>3970392
How many inventory spaces does the satchel give us?

Have we saved yet? We need to save.

Jr, can you tell us how time is going to work in this quest?

>>3970397
stomp it, it sparks, and lights things on fire.

>>3970246
Bring Bubblegum, Stompstarter, Nails, and Glass Vial. Along with Hayseed, of course.

>>3970392

We can carry, like, 10 free, right?

I vote bubblegum, stompstarter, Hayseed, and school supplies.

>>3970358
Dynamite might be handy but also a issue. It's probably one of the few thing that could damage/destroy us but it's much more stable than the explosive mix we had before so we won't go ALLAH AKBAR in the middle of the street.

>>3970438
Leave the vials, take the rope.

Should we take the flowers for Zecora? I have a feeling we're going to visit her soon enough.

>>3970449
Keep in mind we are going to school.

Bringing explosives to school would get us into deep shit.

>>3970400

Probably for others. Also an adhesive and a malleable plug.

Still kind of situational. I vote to take the rope, doll, firestarter, and however many bits we can fit in the space between everything.

>>3970329
GAME INFO: Upon inspecting Hayseed, you can still see the beautiful sewing job Rarity did on her...

>>3970427
GAME INFO: The Money Bag Satchel would take up an inventory slot, but will also hold an item inside of it.

>>3970435
GAME INFO: You have not saved yet.

I'm seeing votes for taking the saddlebags, emptying them, and carrying Rope, Stompstarter, Hayseed, and a 4th undecided item.

>>3970449
>>3970449

Let's leave the dynamite for now. We're just going to school, the plot hasn't thickened yet.

I vote for rope, stompstarter, bubblegum, and whatever bits we have.

>>3970487
So the satchel essentially does nothing.

It takes up an inventory space but can be filled with an item, essentially making it an inventory space. It is an item that cancels out it's own cost of bringing it and nothing more.

>>3970487
Equip the saddlebag and take hayseed, the flowers, the rope, and the stompstarter.

>>3970487

Do we need to bring our own supplies for school? Seems like that would be necessary.

Or, are they stored on school grounds? Please say they are.

We should save before leaving in case we needed something else.

>>3970519

We can also use it later.

Store the rope in it.

>>3970519
We might be able to give it to someone who doesn't have a satchel.

>>3970519
But it in itself is useful.

>>3970487
Stuff as much money we can hold in the forth slot. Also put the gum in our stony mouth assuming she can actually open it.
>>3970534
This of course before we do anything.

>>3970519
it's a bag that you could use for something without negatively impacting your inventory

we should take it and store one of the things in it

>>3970519

But there's also no reason NOT to bring it, and...

>>3970537
>>3970539

Yeah pretty much this.

>>3970487

If the satchel carries one item, why not? take it anyway.

in b4 we lose whatever item is in it because someone will steal it thinking there's money inside

>>3970559
well shit

>>3970519
We can get a string for it later and use the rope to tie extra items to us in an emergency.

Hey, do we still talk by pushing air past vocal chords? If not we should be able to talk just fine with stuff in our mouth.

>>3970534

If we don't have any limit on saves, then why not?

>>3970559
nah, we're just going to get arrested when we walk past the bank

Saw and nails might be useful at some point for building shit.

>>3970559

We don't have markers to cover the money sign, do we?

>>3970579
Good question.

My vote:

Save
Dump saddle bags and equip.
Store Hayseed, Satchel, Bits and Stompstarter in saddle bags.
Store rope in satchel

If it's sunny out, equip royal medallion.

>>3970630

Sounds like a good plan.

I also support painting over the money symbol with something. I'm paranoid because of >>3970559

Put something in the satchel then tie it to our body or leg with the rope.

Boom.

>>3970656
Rope is probably pretty sturdy stuff, I'd rather have it free to do other things with.

Put something in the satchel then tie it to our body or leg with the rope.

Boom.

HAHA TIME FOR GRAPE ROCK!

>>3971074
Pillar of apple ponies. Braeburn being stood on by Big MAc, who has AJ standing on him, with Applebloom standing on top of all of them.

>>3971097

MARK OUT THE MONEY SIGN

I KNOW THIS A TRAP JR YOU FUCK.

okay

stompstarter, Hayseed, bits, rope inside money bag

also pls cover the money sign with something

>>3971097
Can we get a better look at those flowers Zecora gave us?
Just in case.

>>3971097

So we taking rope, fire starter, doll, school supplies, satchel and bits?

sounds good.

>>3971143

This has my vote

>>3971097
Wait, fuck, did I miss the start?

>>3971097
If we do this, we do get to take those three things plus 4 more

Limit reached, reposting my (slighy modified) vote from last thread.


Save
Dump saddle bags and equip.
Store Hayseed, Satchel, Bits and Stompstarter in saddle bags.
Store rope in satchel

If it's sunny out, equip royal medallion.

However, if we can remove the ribbon from the medallion and use that to secure the satchel to us outside of the saddlebag then we should. Use the extra inventory space for sneezing powder.

And find a way to conceal the money sign.

>>3971097
Rope should not be used so frivolously. It's stronger and heavier than other cords and should be free to use latter instead of having to undo our satchel from it.

>>3971124
>Implying it's not the other way around and the fact that we covered the dollar sign makes us more suspicious.

Alright, shit... sorry about that weird delay guys. Usually the old threads stay alive 5evr, so we don't have to worry about moving for like several hours.

Let me post what I had typed and we'll see what you guys want to do.

---

>>3970521 (Dead)
GAME INFO: Most of your school supplies are already in a small cubby at school. There, you have a Box of Pencils, a Notepad, an Eraser, and a Biology Book.

>>3970534 (Dead)
>>3970548 (Dead)
You think that it might be a good idea, before starting out this day in particular, to go ahead and give Hayseed a big hug. For some reason, you feel a bit more tense than usual, like something is bound to be different about today.

Swiftly taking that little doll into your hoof, you gently give her a little squeeze. As you do, you find yourself closing your eyes. You begin to think about the wind... how it felt in your mane. You think about the heat of a freshly baked loaf of bread radiating in your hooves. An inner peace sets over you as you imagine your mother's forelegs tucking a comfy blanket around your shoulders.

You feel safe.

GAME SAVED

>>3970549 (Dead)
>>3970552 (Dead)
>>3970559 (Dead)
CONFIRM: Empty Saddlebags, Equip them, store Hayseed, Rope, Stompstarter, Satchel + 100 bits.

>>3970670 (Dead)
If we need it we can untie it and hold whatever we had tied down in our mouth while we use the rope.

SAVE

Saddlebags: Hayseed, flowers for Zecora, stompstarter, sneezing powder.

Fill the Money Satchel with 40 bits and tie it to us with a rope.

Explore the closet.

>>3971178
http://arch.413chan.net/mlp3962116.html

not much has happened but everything is on the bottom of this thread

>>3971190

Raisin Quest makes us so paranoid...

>>3971188
The rope can be unfastened, it'd better to make sure we keep it with us and keep our options open.

>You know you’ve got Hayseed up on your back, very close and very safe. Your trusty saddlebags, slightly worn and torn from your recent trip with your friends through the Everfree Forest, are filled with a few supplies already.

>>3971197
Take a look at the flowers Zecora gave us.

>>3971197

Oh good. If we NEED anything at least we'll have dosh.

>>3971198
That's precious seconds wasted.

Use the ribbon from the medallion to secure it.

>>3971197
These little save excerpts are really depressing now...

This >>3971198 or loop the rope around us and put the flowers in our saddlebag.

>>3971216
Rope would go in the saddle bag.

Satchel would be secured by the ribbon from the medallion.

>>3971225
>>3971225

If we have an extra spot, maybe we should take the twisted iron. Might be good as a makeshift grappling hook.

>>3971228
GAME INFO: Upon investigating the flowers, you notice several species mixed in with the bouquet you were asked to pick. You're not sure what each one does individually, but you volunteered to help get 2 of the species that Zecora needed for a new potion.

Of course, being a Cutie Mark Crusader, you went above and beyond the call of duty and got all 7 species she needed. You and your friends risked risked their lives to pick all of these.

>>3971237
>Use the ribbon from the medallion to secure it.
You are some kind of genius. Loop the rope around us and tie the satchel to our saddlebag with the ribbon.

Can we buy tactical webbing in Ponyville?

>>3971289
i hope we get her those flowers at some point

>>3971289
Why do I have a feeling those flowers are going to come in handy at some point...

>>3971225

Lamp oil has some sort of jaar, plus it would be a good lubricant in case something is stuck. then again, we have no lamp.

OH GOD THE PARANOIA IS COMING BACK.

>>3971331
I want to take everything

>>3971271
Tie an end of the rope to it then loop the rope around us.

we're totally gonna be late for school

>>3971305
Do this then bring Stompstarter, Old Pipe, Flowers, and Nails. Let Hayseed ride on your back.

>>3971262
>>3971305
GAME INFO: The Royal Medallion is a large precious metal amulet with a sparkling gem set in the center. It's ornately carved to feature the two Princesses holding the gem in the center. The securing band that hangs around your neck is sturdy and should not break if you decide to tie something to it.

I'm seeing a lot of 'tie rope around body part, tie item to rope. Do we want to proceed with this action?

>>3971366
Nails are useful without hammer because we can just tap them with our hooves to drive them into anything.

Okay, here's what I got so far for taking shit with us.

Remember, we're going to school.

Empty bag of supplies.

Secure satchel with ribbon from medallion

Wrap rope around us with twisted iron attached

Hayseed on our back (secured by rope?)

This leaves five inventory spaces open in the bags.

Stompstarter, Flowers, Bubblegum, Sneezing Powder, Bits?

We're going to get made fun of for having random things tied to us

>>3971411
clearly being stone was all part of the larger plan

>>3971381

You always scare me when you ask for confirmation like that

Yes. Ask your mum for help if you can't tie it well enough by yourself.

>>3971289
>you volunteered to help get 2 of the species that Zecora needed for a new potion.
>Of course, being a Cutie Mark Crusader, you went above and beyond the call of duty and got all 7 species she needed.

Wait, what was that potion?
If we have all the ingredients needed to make it, it could be important.

>>3971416
Stompstarter because fire, flowers because we have to deliver them, bubblegum for barter and adhesive, sneezing powder for quick escape (we are also immune to it) and bits because bits.

>>3971419
>not bringing your rope and hook to school

I'm now remembering why I love and dread these quests

>>3971419
We'll just blind Diamond Tiara with our Medallion. Also.
>Not bringing your fridge to school.

>>3971419
We're made of rock, I'm sure we're used to being made fun of.

>>3971419
We'll get made fun of for being stone.

I don't think random shit is that big of a concern.

>>3971428
normal ponies also have this ability

>>3971416
>>3971441
Thoughts on this?

>>3971381
Tie the Twisted Iron to the rope and loop the rope around our chest or barrel or whatever that part of the body is called on a pony. We can leave it by our cubby during class.

>>3971419

fuck the police we've earned it.

Do we have a ten foot collapsible pole somewhere on our person yet? Preferably more than one? Actually, make them 11-foot poles.

did we ever rape those maids

>>3971416
Hayseed on our back can backfire fast. Use the rope to wrap her around us and we can juggle our inventory as needed at school.

>>3971490
we definitely oughta bring the twisted iron if we're going rope around us direction

>>3971516
There were no maids in the castle and we used our favor to get Hayseed back out of the box.

>>3971419
We're made of stone.
Something tells me random stuff tied to us won't get a second glance.
A bag with a large Money sign on it though might draw unwanted attention to us. People might try to steal it. Should we really take it?

>>3971542
best decision

1339813631602.jpg (168 KB, 800x800) iqdb google

>>3971516
>>3971516

Sadly no.

>>3971439
GAME INFO: Zecora never fully confirmed what the potion was for. She said that she needed it to make a special bath for a pony in town. She told you that she'd find the other 5 species herself, but you and the CMC wanted to impress her while exploring for your Cutie Marks.

LIST OF ITEMS AND ACTIONS:
Saddlebags
Hayseed
Stompstarter
Rope
Money Bag Satchel + Bits
Medallion (around neck as Equipment)
Twisted Iron (tied around stomach, resting on back

...unless I'm confused? This sounds about right. Continue?

>>3971509
GAME INFO: Unfortunately, you have yet to acquire a 10-15 foot collapsible pole for your Adventuring Supplies.

>>3971516
GAME INFO: Raisin has not sullied any maids... nor knows how to complete such an action.

>>3971551

Could always just tun it inside out.

>>3971561
>She said that she needed it to make a special bath for a pony in town.

...The cure to poison joke, maybe?
That could come in handy.

>>3971561
that's what i'd go for essentially

wait, is the twisted iron tied around us with the rope? if so that would leave us another saddlebag space

>>3971561
That and crappy flowers around in mouth, then.

Also, since we don't breath, can we talk fine with things in our mouth?

>>3971561
>nor knows how to complete such an action.
We have a Bio book sitting in our cubbyhole.
We're learning this shit.
>captcha: iareta sex
See, even captcha says so!

>>3971561

Sounds good.

>>3971522
Okay so:

Hayseed secured to back with rope (which has the twisted metal tied to it)

Saddlebags equipped

Satchel secured by the medallion's band.

This gives us five inventory slots.

I propose Stompstarter, Sneezing Powder, Bubble gum, Flowers and Bits

>>3971561
Damn, you just know we're gonna fall into a 10-15 +1 foot hole at some point, and actually have to use our brains to get out.

>>3971561
Combine the ROPE and TWISTED IRON into ROPE WITH GRAPPLING HOOK then wrap it back around us.

What do we keep in our closet?

>>3971604
carry, not crappy whoops

>>3971604

Eh, that might be overkill. Just go with what Jr listed. We'll probably be penalized for it anyways.

>>3971561
I don't think that's using all of our inventory slots...

The satchel, rope and twisted iron don't take up slots because they are secured other ways.

>>3971628

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWwYE7P55Wg

>>3971632
Being penalized is part of the game.

>>3971596
GAME INFO: With this current loadout, your saddlebags would contain Hayseed, a Stompstarter, Rope, and the Money Bag + 100 bits. Your bags are filled.

>>3971608

>>3971604
GAME INFO: For some odd reason, though you've tried ventriloquism in the past, your mouth still needs to be free in order for you to speak. The stone in your mouth you know as a tongue must still make all the movements of speech in order for you to talk correctly.

Breathing, however, is still not required, nor is air.

>>3971623
So our total item count with this setup would be

Saddlebags, Satchel (equipped outside bags by tying it to the Medallion's band), Rope w/ Iron (Tied around our body, not using a slot), Hayseed (Secured to back by rope), Stompstarter, Sneezing Powder, Bubble Gum , Flowers and bits.

>>3971679
>>3971608
GAME INFO: As far as a forceful sexual act is concerned, Raisin is still perfectly naive. Her biology books touch on the topic briefly, but only with other animals. Nothing explicit is explained in any great amount of detail. She's a school filly in school, so this information is currently not available to her.

>>3971679

Sounds like a good setup without the flowers. At least we don't have to worry if we have to go scuba diving.

>>3971679
But the rope, Hayseed and the money bag aren't going in the saddle bags.

Hayseed is on our back, secured by the rope/twisted iron combo. The money bag is secured by the medallion cord.

>>3971718

Can we agree to hug a maid if we see one?

>>3971699
Yes. The bits are in the satchel, right?
If we don't check the closet it will come back and bite us, I know it.

>>3971741
Bits would be in the satchel, yeah.

>>3971738

Bling bling.

I don't care at this point, let's just get the ball rolling. I'm almost out of snacks.

>tfw spending over an hour without moving at all

>>3971679
Can we buy a larger saddlebag afterschool, since we actually have money now?

>>3971679
I'm game with this, we aren't going to zecoras yet anyway lets get this going

>>3971844

Welcome to Raisin Quest. If we didn't think about every possible angle, we die very, very quickly.

>>3971844
we are gonna be so late

>>3971861
But that's not using all the potential inventory slots.

I'm game for this: >>3971699

>>3971844
Well, she is made of stone.....

After much self debate and a sudden streak of paranoia, you decide it best to equip yourself as best as possible. This day just doesn't settle well with you. It may have been the birds chirping so close to your window or that innate feeling you get when you sense danger nearby, but you're going out into the world prepared today.

Dumping out all of the items from inside of your saddlebags, you decide to stock them up with Hayseed, a Spool of Rope, a Stompstarter, and a Money Bag filled to the brim with 100 bits. You remember when this seemed like it was a ton of money... now, it's just a fraction of a weekly allowance.

Carefully, you don your Royal Medallion and secure your trusty Twisted Iron Rod around your back with a rope. It sits awkwardly at first, but you bend it into a convenient shape.

Standing in your room, you feel adequately prepared for anything the day has to throw at you. Before you is the door leading into the main hallway and a door leading into your closet.

Raisin will not be able to move very well with half of her supplies tied around various body parts. I will let you do so, but it may cost you down the road.

>>3971893
What if that runs the risk of us losing something because it fell off?

>>3971911
CLOSET

>>3971893
I dunno that having a money bag tied around you is a great idea

>>3971911

Check the closet if we have time.

>>3971911
I probably just missed it, but there wasn't anything important in the saddlebags to start with, right?

>>3971911
...Seriously?
Sweet jesus how much are we making?\
also check dat closet.

>>3971911
Check the Closet.

Also we might want to dump some shit off onto the CMC once we meet them in about 3 hours.

>>3971911

>implying we need to evade now that we can tank with our stone body.

It's worth it.

>>3971911
Hug you mother and let's go. We can tie the stuff to Sweetie later.

>>3971965


>>3971225

>>3971965
cosmetics kit, the flowers for zecora, and the twisted iron originally

>>3971911
How is our rope in our saddlebag and tied around our body at the same time? I think this >>3971997 (Cross-thread) is what a few of us had in mind.

Where are the flowers?

>>3971986
It really isn't.
Especially with our stone body.
You can repair an injury, you can't fix broken rock.

>>3971939
>>3971960
>>3971976
>>3971984
You decide that you better check to see if there's anything useful inside of your closet. You haven't been in there in a while, but you think it'd be best to be fully prepared. You don't know if you'll be able to stop by your house later if your adventuring suspicions are correct.


You have a lot of new clothes inside the walk-in closet. Most of them are way too formal to wear to school everyday, so you almost never look around in here. Among several sets of gowns and dresses are several cases filled to the brim with jewelry. Unfortunately, most of it cannot be worn, considering you don’t have a mane to set them on. You’ve considered getting some gems inset on your ears, but your Dad won’t let you. You’re still too young, apparently.
Looking around, you have several pairs of custom built shoes, specifically designed to accommodate your incredible weight. You get made fun of by Diamond Tiara a lot when you wear these to school…
Along the east wall, you see a couple of costumes. They’re all from the play your Dad funded from back before Winter Wrap Up Day. He had a bunch of them done up for your classmates. You’d played 3 roles during the play… a Frog, a Dragon, and a Maid. While the first two looked ridiculous, you always liked the Maid costume for some indiscernible reason. Maybe it reminded you of your loving housekeeper, Mary Annette… you honestly don’t know.

>>3971986
>tfw warforged pone
We don't even need to worry about breathing anymore. Heck, if we didn't mind all our shit getting soggy we could probably do a little light riverbed or sea floor exploration.

>>3972024
GAME INFO: Your rope is on a small spool. You used a cut of rope to secure the Twisted Iron Rod to your back.

Currently, the rod is bent to fit the curvature of your back.

>>3972082
Obviously we must combine pieces of all three into the best costume ever and wear it to school.

>>3972082
bahahaha

>>3972082
Mary Anette?

>>3972082
Put the flowers in our mouth and head to school, but with our parents goodby and tell them we love them before we leave.

>>3972145
>bent to the curvature of your back

I don't know why but that sounds incredibly hot.

>>3972082

Resist our urge to dress up. We're fine. Let's head out.

>>3972162

I vote against this. If we get fucked we can revert to this save.

>>3972082
If possible wear the maid costume unless it's too cumbersome. Run down stairs and huge your Mom. Also look for Mary Anette and hug her too. Hug her longer than your Mom

>>3972082

Let's give our mom a hug and head off to school.

>>3972162
If those flowers are ingredients for a potion I wouldn't want them anywhere near my mouth, but then again I'm not made of granite.

>>3972162
We can't spend the whole day carrying flowers around in our mouth...
Maybe we can make them into a wreathe and wear it on our head.

>>3972082
wear no things, go hug mom, go to school

>>3972175

Fap later, quest now.

Go to the school and see what kind of danger threatens the world again.

>>3972158
GAME INFO: Your loving and trusty house maid, Mary Annette. She's been under your father's employ since you moved out into your new home.

>>3972176
>>3972162
>>3972215
>>3972233
Debating about whether or not a costume would look good with all of your current equipment, you decide it best to get your day started. You exit your closet and head out of the main door of your room. You look back for a moment, nod, then shut the door.

You venture out into the grand hallway of your home. You make sure to keep your hooves on the carpet since they leave scuff marks if you trod on the oak flooring. It also makes a terrible racket; you like to pretend that you’ve still got a bit of stealth left to you.

You’re now in the Merlot Residence Foyer. To your right, you can hear your Mom arguing about something. To your left is the main door.

>>3972082
Nothing useful then.
Let's just head out, hug our Mom, Dad, and our maid, then make a reminder to buy larger saddlebags after school.

>>3972202
>>3972218
>>3972220
We stick them in our cubby when we get to school and take them out when school is over.

>>3972202
We have three (3) saves and you want to waste one on flowers?

>>3972277
Listen in on mom.

>>3972277
Try and hear what mom is arguing about.

>>3972294
Hey, you never know. Those flowers could be poisonous

>>3972277
Go inside the room where Mom is.

>>3972325
I don't think we're in danger of being poisoned. We don't even have blood.

>>3972277
Drop some eves.

>>3972313
>>3972317
>>3972333
I swear to god if it has anything to do with us and our condition I'm going to be depressed as fuck.

That's grounds to run away and live in the clubhouse.

>>3972277

Stay on the carpet, only approach enough to hear the quest hook.

>>3972277
Try to listen in on our Mom arguing.

>>3972325
GEE SENTENAL, WE WOULDN'T WANT TO GET STONE ROT OR SOMETHING WOULD WE?

Aaaagh, I forgot we were starting up again today! Time to read up on what I missed.

>>3972325
We're made of stone. They could be the most poisonous shit in the world and we wouldn't have to worry about anything. Though that is something to keep in mind since were weren't supposed to get all 7 flowers. Be wary of who touches what.

>>3972294
GAME INFO: You have 3 continues. You have an unlimited number of saves, but only your two most recent saves are considered when loading.

>>3972313
>>3972317
>>3972352
>>3972373
You approach the door to the dining room cautiously, taking care not to make the floorboards creak under your weight. Putting your head against the door, you can hear her arguing with Mary Annette.

“No, no, itz fine! Just relax, Mrs. Merlot, and… I’ll prepare ze table for you after I’m done vith ze cooking…” It sounds like Mom is trying to do Mary's job again. You can't hear anything else beyond their talking, but you're sure Mary's putting on a breakfast for your mom, dad, and the staff.

It always looked incredibly appetizing.

>>3972218
>>3971585

>>3972396
You never know, we could get the slates

>>3972354
Can we still even go in the clubhouse?
I can't imagine that wood supports very much weight...

>>3972408
I miss food ;_;

>>3972408
Say goodbye to everyone before you go.
Just in case...

>>3972408
Time for school.

>>3972408
She making breakfast for our parents?

Good to know they're eating well.

>>3972408
Go hug mom pls

>>3972426
GAME INFO: Because of your incredible weight, the CMC have temporarily moved meetings to a more grounded location deep in the Apple Family Orchard.

Most of the time, they still meet in the clubhouse. They'll come down and hang out with you whenever you're around, though. They'd hate to leave you out of something.

>>3972408

Eh, whatever. Go inside and say good morning to them.

>>3972408
Hug everyone then exit your house.

>>3972408

Give our mom a hug, dad a kiss on the cheek, and flash a sly look towards the maid.

>>3972408

Say good morning to everyone and give our mom a hug.

>>3972408
How much are we worth?
Are we the richest family in Ponyville or something now?

>>3972471

>>3972527
Before you set out to school, you open the door to the dining room and head on in. Your mom is juggling a couple of plates while Mary chases her about, trying to prevent the stack of fine porcelain from falling to the floor.

“Please, Mary, I just want to help. Let me set the table while you…” Her resistance to the flustered maid ends when she sees you. “Raisin! You’re up and about early this morning! I didn’t even hear you come in!” She smiles as the maid dashes back into the kitchen to answer a whistling kettle. Mom meets you halfway between the table and the dining room door to give you an empty squeeze. You give her a little hug back, hearing her strain slightly. “Strong as ever! Oh, my beautiful, shiny little ge-” She stops for a moment, noticing all the equipment you've got on. "...you know not to go adventuring while your in school, don't you?"

"Of course, mom. I've just one of those feelings today... you know?"

She rolls her eyes. "Oh, of course you do!" You close your eyes as she gives you a little kiss on the forehead. “How are you this
morning?”

>>3972557
GAME INFO: Celestia helped your dad secure a large plot of land just across from Sweet Apple Acres. Since then, your dad has been turning record profits for the family grape business.

Alongside a grant given to you by the Princesses, you're sure that you're quite well off.

forgive this clueless anon as iv only read half way thought the 1st archived quest, but how/when did Raisin seemingly become rich? i got the impression she lived rather modestly before.

>>3972600
Saving Equestria, Twice, came with a few benefits.

>>3972600
GAME INFO: This just happened at the beginning of Raisin Quest 4. Because of her actions in Raisin Quest 3 and for saving Equestria, Celestia hooked her father up with a plot of land as per Raisin's request. Since then, Raisin's dad has been turning a tidy profit.

>>3972598
Tell her that we are good and that we love her very much. Tell her to tell dad the same then go to school.
