Your eyes remain transfixed, but you can hear Saffron calling your name faintly in the background. There is a pulsing pain in your eye, matching your heartbeat. You manage to keep your hooves firmly where they stand.

Neat, didnt know about the artifacts.

Also remember there was some one named.....Chance I think? And they are very bad and Renne should stay away from them
>>
>>3612981

Embrace the darkness. Let our body become an instrument of evil.
>>
>>3612981
Also we have another unicorn with us, who was with another group of ponies/dogs/etc. and one dog (chance) changed and killed his companions. (the unicorn in our group has been hiding from him)
Chance appears to perhaps be after the artifacts as well.

You concentrate hard, your eye twitching, dry. You manage to close it, and the pressure on it lessens, your hearing and thinking beginning to clear. You can hear Saffron more clearly now.

"Renne? Oh please, Renne, come on... D-do you hear anything? Are there any voices?"

You shake your head. There are none, only the pain. You tell her that it seems to go away when you don't look at the altar.
>>
>>3613218
Maybe.....approach the alter with your eyes closed?

Where is Chronicle? I'd like to hear his opinion

>>3613218
Close your eyes and grab that mofo.
>>
>>3613218
I don't see anything, anyone else spot anything in the gif?
We need Soup or whatever his name is.

Anyways, stop looking at the altar, look over to Saffron Chronicle. Ask them what's on the altar
>>
>>3613286
Wait wait wait

Walk to it BACKWARDS

>>3613218
There is only one thing to do.

Walk into the room backwards and let Chronicle and Saffron direct you in.

Try and grab it with TK? Or yeah just deal with the pain, grab it and hurry out.

>>3613346
>>3613386
why do we have to grab it?
>>
>>3613403
Because it probably has a countermeasure against magic.
>>
>>3613293
I'm for this. Let's ask Chronicle or Saffron to describe what's in the room for us.
>>
>>3613403
Because if we don't Chance will

Pretty sure we don't want the psychopathic diamond dog to have the pyramid of death

You turn to your left, and find Chronicle hiding behind Saffron. You ask him what he thinks.

"I don't like it. Whatever it is. I don't like any of the things that we find here. But... we absolutely cannot let Chance have them."

You agree, and ask Saffron to please describe what she sees. When you looked at the room, you could only manage to see the green glow of the gem above all else.

"It's... it's another skull. The right eye of it is lit up by the gem in this altar. It looks like it's... a pyramid, set in a small base. I can't really see anything else in the room."
>>
Just throwing this out here, but what if Renne and Saffron aren't destined to make it?

and Chronicle chronicles our story?
>>
>>3613563
wait. do we even know what his mark or talent is?
>>
Just take the prism already!
>>
>>3613559
Explain to them that just looking at it is painful for us, request that Saffron or Chronicle should pick it up
>>
>>3613583
Probably a book or stone tablet.

Have chronicle take it? Painful for Renne, and it may react to Saffron's armor...

You get a bright idea, and tell the others to stay back and watch for Chance. Since it only hurts when you look at it, you decide to walk into the room backwards. As you awkwardly make your way back, you can feel the pressure in the room growing, and you can feel your eye wanting to hurt, but it doesn't. Saffron looks at you pleadingly, telling you to be careful.

Thats a pretty risky move, if we drop it it might break opne and unleash some eldrich diamond dog abomination.

Headache between the eyes, not in a particular one

You walk back out of the room to meet with Saffron and Chronicle again. You let them know that you have a hunch about the gem fitting in the eye of the door at the top of the temple, but that you only have one gem. You're unsure of whether or not to go up to the door or look for the other gem.

"Whatever you think we should do, Renne. Remember what I said, you're the one that can sense these things."

"The only thing I know for certain is that there is no sign of Chance, so the next room is safe."

Going through the old logs a bit, found a better shot of Baldwin's cutie mark. Wasn't sure before since there was some weirdness at the bottom of the mark on the other picture, but with this one it's definitely the symbol that was on the glove.
A treble clef, perhaps? Clef coming from french for key? Wonder if there'll wind up being any significance to it.

The next level down is significantly hotter than the last, the white-hot glow coming from below being the source of all the heat. You can hear Chance, but can determine that he is below one level. This room is just like the last, four chains connected to the spire in the center of the room, with a metal band surrounding it. There is a door to the west, and you can practically feel the air cooling around you as you approach it.

The things next to the doorway you entered are simply empty torch holders.

Or until she goes insane, at least.

Currently fiddling about with the map, and assuming 8 floors I think we might be on the second-lowest, with Chance clomping around on the lowest floor.

You take a peek inside the next room. There is no light aside from your torch, and it is not enough to make out what lies in the room.

I dunno, we do kinda have to face Chance at some point to reclaim his jasper, I think.
Why not take him by surprise now?

That's a pretty odd position for him to be in, though. Perhaps something beat us to it?
Also, is that another passage behind the wall?

If that's Chance, he looks like he's missing a head and one or both arms - I bet it's the breastplate from the armor set being worn by an armless, headless torso
>>
>>3619068
Also why would Chance (assuming it is him) tear down that wall? I see that there's a passage behind it, but I wonder just what he is trying to do here.
>>
>>3619293
I dunno, if Chance's been lurking down here I don't think he would just leave the armor laying around like that.
>>
>>3619327
Well, if he can't activate it, it doesn't seem like it'd be easy to carry around
>>
>>3619307
>Why
He is absolutely bugfuck insane. Perhaps a few hundred of his voices manage to give him the idea that some of the armor was behind there or something.
I'm wondering if it was a gauntlet wall that he's just broken down physically or something.

You hold your breath and send the torch inside slowly. You notice the low hum coming from this room. Faintly, before, but it is more noticeable now. You can hear it emanating from below you, all around.

It's a bit messed up from this angle, but that symbol on his chest looks like Baldwin's mark again.

>"Only for your cooperation."

Perhaps this guy is one of the "Servants"?

>>3619632
Jumping to conclusions, but perhaps there's a bunch of them around in Baldwin's livery; one's who Chance's tossed into the lava, one here that he's KO'd.

Equip Renne and Remnant with pick and sharpened trowel, examine body whilst being ready in case it acts.

Shit. Chance's got some power armor or something.

Have Saffron in the lead, since she's most likely to be able to overpower him in an emergency, and the two unicorns can attack from afar with TK.

and what's he doing? sleeping?
seems like an uncomfortable place to nap

From what I can tell he's not inside the armor. The thing's just... standing there.
Unless Chance suddenly got artsy and decided to carve a stone statue of a Diamond Dog.

Saffron leads into the room, paws raised. You and Chronicle follow in behind her with the torch, illuminating her way. You can see her shaking as she slowly steps forward. After more of the body is illuminated, she stops.

"I-It's not Chance... but I don't know what it is. It's got the legs of a diamond dog, and it's made out of bronze and stone."

Alcoves. Looks like a place where something would be standing.

a suit of armour perhaps?
>>
>>3620027
Light the torches hanging nearby.
>>
>>3620027
Uh, ok. That's a little bigger than I was expecting.
Eamine it closer, I guess, and let's get a confirmation on that mark on it's chest, and whether it has an identical symbol on it's hand.

>>3620116
Ooh, or perhaps this stone soldier and the one that fell into the lava were both standing in them previously, guarding whatever was behind the wall?

You light the torches on the wall on either side of the figure. You can now see that whatever it is, it is collapsed backwards into the hole in the wall.

Not sure about >>3617745, but >>3617582 adds up to 8 like the other gear code did. I think it might be.

Check the other entrances to the room.

>>3620460
I agree. Let's clear this floor before we head down, especially considering Chance ought to still be down there.
Which way do we want to go? Western doorway, through the crack, or go back and open up that gauntlet wall?
>>
>>3620500
Probably going to regret it, but I vote crack.

The first eye was behind a gauntlet door, wonder if the other is behind the one in the last room?
I would have though we would have had a pain in our right eye though, if it were.

>>3620460
I just want to see if Chance was hurt before he went into the caved in section

You slowly move next to the body to look into the hole in the wall, making sure to keep an eye on the body itself. You float the torch in for a better view. The humming sound is behind you now, coming from the connected rooms.

Pasting what we know of Chance's battle
>As you head to the east into the room leading to the gear and spire rooms, you hear an echoing howl. It's coming from the spire room, but it sounds far away. Behind the howls, you can hear what sounds like a heavy thudding noise, and the clang of metal on stone.
>You all slowly creep into the next room. The sound of his howling gets louder, but only slightly so. You can tell that the noise is coming from below.
>You cautiously creep over to the edge of the hole in the center of the room. The noise of metal on stone gets louder, as well as Chance's howls and barks. It does not sound like the noise is coming from the chains, but from something metal being hit against stone.
>The clanging of metal gets louder and louder, as do his howls
>You can hear the metal clanging, louder and louder. As soon as it reaches its crescendo, it halts, a loud thud echoing up through the hole in the floor. A few moments pass before Chance's howl pierces your ears.
>You try to listen, but cannot help from looking one last time. You cannot see Chance, but you can hear him walking away, every other step accompanied by the scraping of metal.

It's currently obscured by the wall, but it occurs to me we should check to see if the stone soldier still has his left arm. Chance was looking for a gauntlet for his left hand, perhaps he decided that theirs would to the job.

And if it did do the job and allow his gem to amplify his power, we might be in trouble.

You walk in, with Saffron standing guard behind you, facing the body in the doorway. The room looks exactly like the one you were in not too long ago, but the glowing gem is missing, as is the pain you assume you would have had in your eye.

Chance must have the last gem as well.

On the way out of the door, you take a closer look at the body. There is no head, and the left arm is thrown back above where the head would have been, as if it had fallen over backwards into the room, arched over the pile of rubble.

I don't think you can unless someone makes a script for the archive, Leth and Smile have been saving these threads since the beginning for the discussion

You could still save the image then extract the audio from it and just play it.
You're best off waiting until Sent gets this session posted on the main archive.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28501521/GeneralArchive/RenneQuest/RenneArchive.html
>>
>>3624530
Because they haven't managed to get all the threads; the first two were missed because the general archive was still set to require a keyword in the OP post, there's been at least one that has simply not had the marker dropped in it because neither Smile nor Leth were around, and there was one that was done half here, half on the sub because 4chan deded midquest.
>>
>>3624570
Geez, by sub, what do you mean?
Also, I've sent LK a note on dA about this, because it seems like threads are archived by two people and I really want the best for those who want to catch up on earlier quests like myself
>>
>>3624617
Not from MLPG?

The main archive for this quest is the one linked up here
>>3624542
And it's being done by a single guy.

The whole thing with dropping the marker image in here so it gets saved over on the MLPG archive was started before that main archive was set up. I think Smile only does it now if it looks like the guy who does that main archive is late, just in case he doesn't get here in time.
>>
>>3624746
So, I should be bugging Sentenal instead of LK about doing the archival?

Probably, yeah. He's the one who's put together and runs the quest archive.

Out of curiousity, what about it is that's a pain about the current setup?

Yeah, that is a bit annoying. I recall him talking about putting together something to go through and fix up those links for him, but that was a little bit ago. It'd be worth giving him another poke about it.
