>>2081909
Roleplaying is for children and autistic.

>>2081896
You could try to advertise the quest more in the live horse and maybe get someone else.
The more players, the more >fun
>>
>>2081909
He's autistic.
>>
>>2081923
No, you are autistic.
>>
>>2081919
Okay, thanks for your mature opinion, you can now go back and talk about fucking horses in the current general.
Ever heard of live and let live?
>>
>>2081937
Only when you tell me when this roleplaying thing started. It didn't happen last month.

>>2082266
I always had fucked up sleep cycles, don't worry about me.
Also, we have a shaman as well now! >>2082241
>>
>>2082276
Who tanks?
>>
>>2082301
Me, I guess? Since I'm the only Knight here.
>>
>>2082301
The knight?
>>
The party is being led down a dark corridor. At the head of the line walks a cloaked unicorn. He is levitating a dimly burning lantern along for light. The corridor is lined with natural stone walls, and leads downwards. Some steps have been carved into the floor at parts where the descend becomes steeper.

The cloaked one speaks, his voice raspy and worn, but genuinely curious
"So tell me, how did you all end up here? I'm sure may came to serve the great Grogar, but I doubt that is the reason you all are here. Please, tell me. We still have a ways to go before we reach the master"
>>
>>2082328
"I had this dream, that told me to come here! And then it told me to eat Canterlot, but I wasn't hungry! Can you imagine?"
Then break out in laughter.
>>
>>2081703
I want gems, all the gems but ponies kill dogs and take gems!
He promise me all the gems.
>>
>>2082328
"I only serve to those who are willing to reward me more, and this "Grogar" might impress me."
>>
>>2082328
I look down at the ground.

"I do whatever it tells me. Right now It happens to tell me to come here. It's that simple."
>>
Nosso inbound in about 10 minutes
>>
>>2082351
>>2082362
>>2082384
>>2082394
"Hm, hm. Yes. Very good. Now, please make yourselves ready. This is not a place known to many, at least not many who are still alive. Stay your tongue when it is not needed, that much I can help you."

He unlocks a metal door at the end of the corridor. It makes no sound as it opens, but you can tell it is old, if well cared for. Beyond the door is a domed chamber with hallways leading off into other directions.
The cloaked unicorn walks over to the largest hallway and stops to wait for you.

Listen to what you can hear down the other corridors?
Ask about this place?
Wander off and check them out?
Just go with him?
>>
>>2082497
Walk in silence looking for things to steal.
>>
>>2082497
Nothing else is important besides what lays ahead. Keep quiet and follow.
>>
>>2082497
I'll wander off and check them out, since I'm a griffon and all.
>>
>>2082497
Wander off a bit and check the most uninteresting things with great detail.
>>
>>2082511
The cloaked figure walks up to you as you try to pocket a crystal bottle
"You seem to have good hands. If you wish to keep them, keep them to yourselves."
>>2082544
You can hear screams of pain from one of the corridors, heavy dragging noises down another and the clanging of metal down a third. It is too dark to see deep into any of them. Before you can check the last two, the cloaked unicorn stops you, and tells you to focus.
>>2082550
Amazing. They even have DUST down here.
>>2082538
The cloaked unicorn nods at you and smiles. He likes your style.

Now that everyone seems ready, he pulls up his lantern again and keeps his head low. This corridor is lined with large statues, many decorated with talismans of bone and glowing runes. It seems the statues have been carved from the natural rock walls.

Ask about this place?
Just keep going?
>>
>>2082634
Keep going.
>>
>>2082634
Taste the dust.
Compare it's taste to the taste of the statues.
>>
>>2082634
2deep4me

Ask about the place.
>>
>>2082658
No connection. The dust tastes grey, while the statues are more of a mix of lime and sonnet.
>>2082672
The unicorn sighs. "Be glad you asked now and not when we met the master. He is not one for patience. We are underneath the Necroponelis, the crypts of Canterlot. We would have used the main entrance, but some of our members in the guards have been discovered, and the crypts sealed for now. As such, the side path. This is where we prepare for our plan, and you all will play a part in it."
>>2082654
You walk the rest of the way in silence.

You arrive into another large chamber. Two massive ponies in dark iron armour stand guard by the doorway. The cloaked unicorn nods to them and they make way. This chamber is lit with torches of blue flame, and the air is heavy with magic. The entrance aside, you can spot another door up near the top of the room, accessible via a set of stairs and balconies.
There is a throne at the back of the room, up a small flight of stairs. The unicorn looks at it, then asks the guards where their master is.
The guards nod towards the side room just as a howl of agony is heard from it.
The unicorn nods back, then hurries to kneel before the throne, motioning you to follow.
>>
>>2082794
Lead on your pointyness
>>
>>2082794
Keep walking with action stuff.
>>
>>2082794
Kneel down.
But in the wrong direction.
>>
>>2082794
Oh...right.

Kneel as well.
>>
>>2082794
"Fair enough. I just like to make myself with familiar with the workplace, that's all."

Follow the unicorn.
>>
>>2082794
I'll hurry along and kneel on before the throne.
>>
As you take your places before the throne, the screams stop, and a pony walks out from the side chamber. You can only see a silhouette of him against the blue flames, but you can see he is tall. His long horn glows for a short moment, then he opens his wings and takes flight, landing upon the throne with a mighty crash. His voice is deep and booming, and his intonation not unlike the way royals of old used to speak.
"SUNSPOT. ARE THESE THE BEST CHAMPIONS YOU COULD MUSTER?"
The unicorn swallows and replies
"They were not... mine, uh, it was, it was Ashwing who..."
"SILENCE" demands the large pony on the throne. "I WILL SEE TO IT THAT YOU GET YOURS LATER."
He then turns to face you with his piercing eyes.
"RISE. TELL ME WHY I SHOULD NOT HAVE YOU TAKEN TO THE BONE PITS THIS INSTANT. LOOKING AT YOU I SEE FEW REASONS TO USE YOU AS MORE THAN MEAT"

It seems the master is not too pleased with you at first glance. Try convincing him that you are worthy.
>>
>>2082947
Try to withhold my laughter.
Then laugh at him maniacally.
>>
>>2082947
The dog is a good tracker
The dog is a loyal killer
The dog only want gems

Class: Rogue
Alignment: Neutral Evil/Grogar
Weapon: One dagger and three knives balanced for throwing
Armor: Leather vest
Talent: Smaller and more agile than the typical Diamond Dog
Items: Enough poison for two uses, enough antidote for two uses, a healing potion

Just tell me when.
>>
>>2082947
Chuckle slightly at "I WILL SEE TO IT THAT YOU GET YOURS LATER."

Rise up and begin talking. "I am not here to impress you but I assure you that we are not as weak as you think. Looks can be deceiving. Just like a fortress such as this may seem strong but can be crumbled with a few mis-summoned vines."
>>
>>2082947
"If you have the money, I'm willing to do my utmost best, regardless of the objective, be it burning down orphanages, assassinations and et cetera."
>>
>>2082947
Any party that wants to do it's mission will need a healer.
I am also a very potent user of poisons and disease, the silent killers.
I seek to spread my lord's blessings among all the people of equestria!
>>
>>2082985
When?
>>
>>2083023
"SO. ONE OF THE DEVOTED. GOOD."
>>2082968
>>2082994
>>2083001
"MERCENARIES. SUNSPOT I TRU-"
>>2082964
The master lifts you into the air with his magic and brings you close you him. In the glow of his horn you can see him more clearly. His horn changes colour near the top, as if it weren't even the same horn. His knees have lots of scar tissue and visible stitches, and his wings resemble those of a griffon's more than a pegasus' in size and shape.
"I WILL TEACH YOU THE VERY MEANING OF-"
The master is cut off by another voice
"Calm down, Patchwreck. We gain nothing by killing those willing to serve us."
The second voice belongs to a unicorn who has emerged from the side room. He has a wispy beard and a sharp horn. There are some bloodstains on his chest and what appears to be six severed diamond dog hands hovering around him, some still grasping implements.
He hops down the steps as Master Patchwreck begrudgingly drops the laughing mage.
The new arrival speaks
"Ignore Patchwreck, he is always like that after his operations. We have actual work to do here. Come. You too, >>2082985 stop pretending we didn't see you in that shadow."

Patchwreck rolls his eyes and the two start heading back to the main hall.

Go back to the main hall for a mission briefing?
Go check out that side room?
Attack them because you were actually Celestia's assassins in disguise all along?
>>
>>2083122
I go to the main hall for the briefing.
>>
>>2083122
Check the side room for some shinny stuff.
>>
>>2083122
Check that side room.
>>
>>2083122
Start to croon the song 'I believe I can fly' while jumping towards the main hall.
Ask the bearded pony if he has a name.
Try to guess it first.
>>
>>2083122
Comment on the new unicorns "Effective" appearance. The sarcasm spilling from my mouth.

Lets go get briefed and boxered.
>>
>>2083146
Thats me.
>>
>>2083122
Let's move.
>>
>>2083154
>>2083146
There is a stone table in the middle, with some fresh stains on it. A pair of partially rotten pegasus wings lay on the floor, and the walls and lined with crates and shelves full of jars containing different body parts from various creatures, many of them wings.
Despite all the fluids you'd expect to find here, the room is very dry, and quite dusty.
>>2083160
After growing tired of your guessing, the unicorn covers your mouth with one of his floating hands and asks you to just call him The Reanimator
>>2083171
>>2083196
>>2083141
Once everyone has returned to the main hall, the two unicorns turn to speak to you again.
"YOUR MISSION IS TO RETURN TOPSIDE AND INFILTRATE CANTERLOT, DOING AS MUCH DAMAGE AS YOU CAN FROM THE INSIDE"
"We've lost many spies in recent times. Strange, since we figured the war against the monster dragon would've drawn attention away from us"
"WORSE YET, WE'VE LOST OUR LOYAL DEATH CULTISTS NOW THAT THE DRAGON IRONHIDE IS NO MORE"
"Indeed. Without the terror of an apocalypse made flesh to goad them into action, those still alive fled from us. But all is not lost. The Great One will soon make his return, and then we, his most faithful servants, will be granted whatever we desire to ask for."
"PERHAPS WE SHOULD SPEND LESS TIME MUSING AND MORE EXPLAINING THE PLAN?"
>cont
>>
>>2083358
"Yes, yes indeed. That path leads to Canterlot City. It emerges in an abandoned building in one of the shady areas Celestia cares little for. You can use it to move between the city and the catacombs.
Your mission is to locate the heads of Celestia's own spy network and if possible, kill them. They are twins, but we know little else. However we have an insider in the castle, a scholar named Greymane. Find the archives and talk to him, he should know more.
Also, here is a map. I've marked down the locations of the corpse pits we set up for the death cultists to dump bodies in. If you need to kill anyone, just drop the body in one of the marked wells and we'll take care of it.

Unless you need anything else, off you go."
>>

>>2083366
Lets go
>>
>>2083366
Yes, yes, let's hurry along, I can't wait to spread the joys of my lord!
>>
>>2083358
Ask Patchwrek "WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? ARE YOU AFRAID OF SOMETHING?"

>>2083366
I'm ready to roll!
>>
>>2083366
"Sounds simple enough. I expect great money out of this!"

Let's get going.
>>
>>2083358
That demon princess Celestia's city. Now I understand why I was told to come here. We should get to it then.
>>
>>2083366
Let's move.
>>
>>2083411
"IT IS THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE, ONE FIT FOR A TRUE ALICORN!"
>>2083395
>>2083405
>>2083411
>>2083413
>>2083432
>>2083434
You emerge from under a floor tile in an abandoned house. It might have once been a tobacco shop by the smell of it. From the look of it, it burned down.
It is night. You can hear guard patrols on the streets nearby.
Checking the map, there is a corpse well just a few streets away. The archives should be maybe 15 minutes by hoof.

Take the streets?
Take the rooftops?
Build a hot air balloon and fly there?
Other?
>>
>>2083492
Rooftops.
>>
>>2083492
Take the rooftops.
>>
>>2083492
Well if we must...
Let's climb the roofs.
>>
>>2083492
The dog is a master climbing walls so rooftops.
>>
>>2083506
derp
>>
>>2083492
Walk the streets like the plebs?
Hah, not a chance!
Rooftops it is!
>>
>>2083492
Rooftops seem fun. Does the league of super evil have any wild animals to spare? Dogs, Rats, Something that I could use to get an inside look? Animal Connection and shit
>>
>>2083567
A really big bat flies by and lands on your head. How convenient.
>>2083506
>>2083509
>>2083525
>>2083546
You take to the rooftops
>>2083516
Even Typhus' corpulent from manages to climb up after some effort, leaving just some fallen bricks and a bit of pus and sweat behind.

There seem to be no guards up here.
The shortest way to the archives forces you to make some pretty long leaps and sneak past some windows. There is also an easier route, but it takes quite a detour.
You can tell there is a pair of guards every few streets.
>>
>>2083596
My special talent is climbing and shit so I take that long leap.
>>
>>2083596
I have wings, so I guess I'll just silently glide to the destination.
>>
>>2083596
I'm nice and agile. I should be able to make it without any problems.
>>
>>2083596
I believe I can fly! I could fly in front of that yelling pony too!
Take those leaps!
>>
>>2083596
Oh..Convenient.
When we get their I can infiltrate with this guy. Shifting consciousnesses to it. Problem is I will be out while I'm controlling it. One of you dogs have to carry me until I'm in.

Let's get moving then.
>>
>>2083596
I'll...have to...go...around...I think...
Whew!
>>
>>2083606
>>2083633
>>2083638
>>2083643
You four take the quick road, carried along by wings and agile bodies
>>2083647
The corpulent cleric takes the long route though. He will arrive a turn later than the rest of you.
Well should be just one more sprint to the archi-
>>2083640
>0
You fuck up your jump and slam into the ground, hard and loud. Two guard patrols have been alerted.

Attempt to climb back up?
Run away?
Hide?
Fight?
>>
>>2083697
Are they Unicorns or Pegasi?
>>
>>2083697
I keep an eye on him from the shadows on the rooftop.
>>
>>2083697
I'll stay up on the roofs and a take a peek at the area where Cuckoo landed, while readying my great sword.
>>
>>2083697
"I'm okay!"
"Well, I did nothing! Can't a pony smack into the ground! I have my rights!"
>>
>>2083697
Run away and hide.
>>
>>2083721
herp
>>
>>2083697
Idiot. Cuckoo get out of there.
Watch him ready to attack if he gets caught
>>
Four guards rush to Cuckoo and ask him if he is ok, and if he needs any help getting home.

Two of them are pegasi, the other two unicorns. One is rather big, the other three smaller. They have only noticed Cuckoo.
>>
>>2083697
Oh dear, dear, dear.
I'm gonna keep legging it to the archives though since I'm already halfway there.
>>
>>2083774
I wait and watch.
>>
>>2083774
Good thing he's a pony. Lets go. Cuckoo can infiltrate his own way.

Continue moving.
>>
>>2083774
>>2083784
You guys handle this! I'll follow the cleric.
>>
>>2083774
I go away, a have a mission.
>>
>>2083774
I'm okay, just smelling the cold night air, tasting it, savoring it...
I'm fine!
Now leave me, I need to concentrate on eating air!
>>
>>2083809
>9
The guards are certain that you are fine, just dazed. They leave you alone.
>>2083784
>>2083792
>>2083802
>>2083803
>>2083807
After the little setback, you arrive at the Archives. There are two unicorns guarding the main entrance, and several big fragile stained glass windows on the second floor.
>>
>>2083854
I throw a rock aiming the glass window.
>>
>>2083854
I just lick my hooves while the others make a decision on what to do.
>>
>>2083807
Gorgor. Please carry me. I'm gonna use my bat friend to stay close to Cuckoo.

And don't get any ideas.

Try using my ability to control the bat directly and distract the guards, passing out in the process.
>>
>>2083807
Do you want to shoot one while I backstab the other?
>>
>>2083854
I'll fly up to the stained glass windows and using my claws, I cut open a circular portion out of the window big enough to fit me and sneak in.
>>
>>2083870
Thats me.
>>
>>2083870
>break the window
>alert everyone of what you're doing
>>
>>2083870
>0
As you attempt to throw the rock you slip and fall down in front of the guards.
The jig is up, prepare for battle.
Everyone Roll for initiative.
Score to beat: my roll.
>>
>>2083924
Oh damn it. Rolling!
>>
>>2083924
Rolling.
>>
>>2083924
Arrow to the head.
>>
>>2083942
Damn.
>>
>>2083924

Pft. Easy
Roll
>>
>>2083924
Poof goes the wizard!
Cast my spell!
>>
>>2083924
I'll smite them with my swarm of flies.
>>
>all these rolls
Thank the Shaman!
>>
>>2083983
Get mad Griffy
>>
>>2083942
>>2083953
As an arrow grazes the cheek of one of the guards, they notice the rest of the party up on the roof and pull these two down with their magic.
>>2083964
A swarm of flies emerges to annoy the guards, but it fails to harm them
>>2083934
You remain unharmed so far, but couldn't quite get an attack off. You are better prepared now though.
>>2083956
Indeed it is. In the chaos of things the guards completely ignored you. Then again, it was dark so they could only see half of you even if they tried.
You are free to strike them now
>>
>>2084030
Rolling to strike one of the guards.
>>
>>2084030
Rolling to blind a guard.
>>
>>2084030
Hey That's Racist!

Strike hard and true across the head with my staff
>>
>>2084030
Smite them!
Spread the joys of the lord of flies!
>>
>>2084030
Try to snipe another guard.
>>
>>2084030
I try to conjure up something that will hurt them!
Ice!

You misjudge the weight of your swing and come crashing down with a loud noise. A guard patrol has been alerted to your position.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI1VpElKWF8
>>2084053
Being a trained soldier, the guard knows to shield his eyes from such a blow.
He retaliates with a swing of his sword, cutting you lightly.
>>2084054
Bop.
Had the guard been a lion, he might have learned an important life lesson about how his dad is a cloud. However he is not a lion, he is a pony. He kicks you down.
>>2084069
Calling to your festering god, you summon up a veritable torrent of bloated flies. They burrow into the guards' eyes, skin and flesh, drowning out their screams of terror in their buzzing as they fill their throats.
>>2084089
As the guards flail in terror, your arrow strikes him in the head, killing him instantly.
>>2084102

>critical miscast
You conjure the opposite elements to strike the enemy, but something goes very wrong. Your limbs are now stiff as ice, and you are on fire.

The alerted patrol will be here in two turns.

>>2084191
Rolling for Stealth.

I'll stab the remaining guard with my poisoned dagger.
>>
>>2084191
Well that's done, let's get to the archive.
>>
>>2084191
Fuck me. Get after the archives someone.
Rise back up and retaliate once again.
>>
>>2084191
Loot the fallen guard!
I want shinny stuff.
>>
>>2084191
Gah!
I try to levitate the fire on the guard!
I believe in me, I can do it!
>>
>>2084249
>9
>critical critical success
The remaining guard explodes into flames and soon only a pile of ash remains.
You still cannot run though, as your limbs are frozen solid.
>>2084248
He had a really shiny helmet
>>2084216
You are hidden.

The way is clear, but there is a dead guard and some strange ash. The patrol will be here next turn.
Take the bodies away?
Enter the archive?
Ambush the patrol?
>>
>>2084294
We should take the bodies away...I can't carry them though.
>>
>>2084294
I'll carry one of the bodies into the archive.
>>
>>2084294
I'll ambush with a backstab if the rest of the party can't get the body and the ash cleared up in time.
>>
>>2084294
I spread the ash on my hooves.
That'll do it!
I'm sure that will unfreeze me!
Also, taste the ash.
>>
>>2084294
Dug dug dug and hide the bodies.
>>
>>2084330
>0
You try to drag one along, but it proves too heavy.
>>2084339
>9
Luckily, the diamond dog is better at this than the griffon.
>>2084333
You then scatter the ashes (which thaws your legs) and the whole party enters the archives.
It is absolutely quiet in there, all you can hear are the hoofsteps of guards. You can also see some light, indicating where the guards are searching.
Greymane is on the third floor.
You can get there either via the stairs, the windows or the rafters.
>>
>>2084421
We're going up. Windows, We can't risk the stairs.
Griffy you're up.
>>
>>2084421
I'm not very agile, I'll have to use the stairs in any case.
Maybe I can bluff any guards that come my way with my cleric-like appearance.
>>
>>2084421
Rolling for stealth and rafters.
>>
>>2084421
Windows it is.
>>
>>2084421
Take the stairs.
If the guards ask me anything, just hush them and try to look like an important mage.
>>
>>2084421
Windows.
>>
>>2084446
hurf durf
>>
>>2084449
>>2084439
>9s
Here, let me show you a picture from my book of gnarly things, the guards won't interrupt two scholars in the middle of research...
>>
>>2084457
Aren't you already stealthed?
>>2084478
That's fine and dandy for you unicorns but what about us?
>>
>>2084478
Fascinating.
>>
>>2084494
You can go jump in the rafters or what you young ones do for fun these days.
>>
>>2084439
>>2084449
>9
>9
SEEMS LEGIT.
The guards salute you and ask you if you'd like any drinks or anything else before you head to meet master Greymane.
>>2084446
You scurry into the shadows and up onto the rafters.
It is quiet and dark up here, but you get a creeping feeling you aren't alone.
Roll to spot.
>>2084436
>>2084448
>>2084454
You fly and climb out the window.
Roll to see how hard it is to get to the third floor.
>>
>>2084526
Rolling.
>>
>>2084526
>Implying difficulty

Roll
>>
>>2084526
Rolling.
>>
>>2084526
Hush them and try to seem important.
>>
>>2084526
Rolling.

Time for my doctor's appointment. Hopefully I'll be alive when I get back.
>>
>>2084566
I'll drag the mage along to Greymane's room.
>>
>>2084582
That does not require a roll right
It wouldn't make any sense right
>>
>>2084594
Congrats you just killed everyone
>>
>>2084640
Well it's been 2 hours since the quest started.
About.
And someone had to do it.
>>
>>2084554
The wind is picking up, and you find it hard to gain altitude.
As you look down you see
>>2084532
The diamond dog hanging on for dear life and
>>2084540
>0
The zebra fall onto the passing guards who are trying to investigate the earlier disturbance.

>>2084571
You are pretty confident that you are alone up here, and it was just your nerves
The voices behind you help to ease that feeling.
>Shh now.
>Do not fear.
>It will be painless.
>For us.
You won't be. I need to wrap things up and that was an important roll.

>>2084582
>>2084566
The guards wish you a good night as they take you to Greymane's room, then leave.
Archivist Greymane looks at you and asks where the others are.
>>
>>2084659
Get the fuck up
Clobber one of them and get the fuck out of there.
>>
>>2084659
"Oh, probably dying out there. But that's all fine and dandy, they aren't vital. Time however, is. Spill the beans."
>>
>>2084659
Try to climb and hide.
>>
>>2084659
They are probably dead by now, let's get to business!
>>
>>2084659
Try to get to the window and get the fuck in!
>>
>>2084691
You mess up, slip and fall off next to the zebra.
>>2084685
You now face the guards, two on two.
Roll for initiative VS me

>>2084702
You barely manage to claw your way into the room
>>2084692
>>2084686
As the griffon arrives, the archivist being to talk.
"Time is of the essence here. I've studied all I can and I think I know where Tambelon's ruins can be found. I've marked the locations on this map. If my assumptions are correct, the forgotten scrolls of Grogar can be found there. With them we should be able to revive dragons without the need to resort to binding runes any longer.
The problem is if this map falls in the wrong hands, like the hands of that infernal inquisitor Celestia keeps showering in gold, our entire plan might be compromised. Take it, and make sure it gets back to Master Patchwreck."
He hands you a map and points at the door.
"Unless you needed something else, GO."
>>
>>2084805
"Are there any other ways out?
I have a bad feeling about the hall."
>>
>>2084805
The gods hate me.
Roll for Root. There's a garden around here somewhere.
>>
>>2084840
GOD
DAMMIT.
>>
>>2084805
"Well, it seems that we have what we needed.
But do we need YOU?
You know too much already, what if those spies get their hooves on you... Our entire plan might be compromised..."

Then smile at him smugly.
>>
>>2084853
Are you sure you're mad?
>>
>>2084805
Try to run away.
>>
>>2084805
Oh uh, let's go then!
>>
>>2084833
"I guess you could always jump out the window if you feel that is safer. Now stop dripping ooze on my carpet."
>>2084853
"You wouldn't dare. Patchwreck needs me on the inside."
>>2084881
"Good tidings."

>>2084840
>0
In panic, the zebra attempts to call to the primal forces of nature. However neutrality is a double edged sword, often refusing to bow to any master. As roots cling to the panicking Shaman, one of the guard plants his spear deep in the zebra's chest, killing him on the spot.
>>2084862
Seeing his comrade fall, the diamond dog, loyal more to money than gods, turns to flee as the guards give chase.
Roll to not get caught.
To beat: my roll.
>>
>>2084954
Well let's hurry back down the stairs.
Try to look like a good cleric again.
>>
>>2084954
aaa
>>
>>2084954
Fuck
>>
>>2084954
I'll jump off from the window and glide to safety.
>>
>>2084954
"Just in case..."

We can't risk it!
Poof, there goes his memories!
Erase them!
>>
>>2084991
Being less familiar with the city than the guards, your attempts to lose them in the side roads prove pointless.
You are cornered in an alley.
Surrender or die.
>>2084978
How strange. The guards are gone. The entire hall is empty.
>>2085002
>critical misscast
You have no idea what you are doing here.
>>2084997
Safely outside, you see the dead zebra being inspected by a patrol, and another cornering one of the diamond dogs in an alley.
>>
>>2084996
I wonder if theres some deus ex Machina roll I can do to switch consciousness at the second of death to the nearest wild animal.

I dont actually know what DEUSXM is supposed to mean. I just thought it would sound cool.
>>
>>2085085
I GIVE UP!
GREYMANE IS ONE OF US!
>>
>>2085085
Oh come the fuck on, that was an 8! I should be on the street by now!
I'll keep running to the door.
>>
>>2085097
Me.
>>
>>2085097

WHY ARE ALL THE DIAMOND DOGS PLAYED IN THESE GAMES SUCH ASSHOLES?!
>>
>>2085085
"What the hell are you doing in my chambers? Get out or feel my wrath!"
>>
>>2085110
PULI WASN'T AN ASSHOLE
>>
>>2085110
Because every DD in the show was an a-hole?
>>
>>2085085
Hmm...if I let him die, more money for me..

I'll just watch from a safe distance and see what happens.
>>
>>2085128
THIS IS TRUE. IN FACT HE WAS SUPER BRO
>>
>>2085097
The guards take you away. Your co-operation might save you years of dungeon time.
>>2085099
>99
Spooked by the silence, you leg it to the door. As you dash out, trailing sweat and pus, you hear a whisper in your ear
>Run, run.
>As fast as you can.
>We'll come for you yet.
>Pestilent man.
>>2085117
As you and Greymane argue over whose room it is, you realize there are two figures behind you.
>Supreme Archivist Harpend Greymane.
>We did suspect you might be involved.
>Which one of them has the map.
>Tell us and your deaths will be swift.
Cuckoo, your time to shine it seems.
>>
>>2085192
Did I get out of the whole situation yet?
If I did not, keep legging it back to base with the papers.
>>
>>2085192
The voices?
The voices are back?
But they werent' real!
They aren't real!

Beat my head and tell the voices to stop!
>>
this quest went to shit fast

i like the results
>>
>>2085192
I can help you track this monsters yes
I just want gems.
>>
>>2085192
I'm not..quite sure what to do at the moment..
>>
>>2085270
CRIME DOESN'T PAY
>>
>>2085270
Morale of the quest:
Evil people always suffer horrible faiths, the Princess wins.
Let's rename DM to Disney.
>>
>>2085334
I'm not ded yet
>>
>>2085233
You feel an incredible feeling of clarity wash over you, unlike ever before in your life. No. Not ever. You remember now. It was not always like this. You remember the green fields. Your foalhood friends. How you smiled and laughed. How it was a different laugh. A sincere one. A happy one. Yes. That is this feeling. You are... Happy.

The mage's body slumps to the ground with a wet thud as the twins pull the blades out and walk up to Greymane. They bend him backwards out the window.
>The map.
>The name.
>NOW.
>WHILE YOU STILL CAN.
Greymane spits at them, saying the only map he made is now beyond their shadowy grasp.
Unphased, the twins, Cloak and Dagger, press their blades into his aged flesh and wait for him to stop moving.
>By the light of celestia
>Rest now and forever
They then hoist the two bodies on their backs and leave in a puff of smoke. Celestia must be informed.

>>2085224
>>2085306
The two of you make it back to the temple beneath the Necroponelis, and hand over the map to Patchwreck. He smiles at you briefly as he studies it.
"GOOD. ALL IS AS I EXPECTED. YOU TWO HAVE DONE A GREAT SERVICE TO US AND OUR CAUSE. WHEN THE GREAT ONE RISES, YOU WILL BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THOSE HE WILL PROTECT.

GO NOW AND REST. THERE IS MUCH MORE WORK FOR YOU IN THE FUTURE."

Mission complete.
>>
>>2085382
seeing as how a couple, if not several, are no longer able to participate; provided you'll do more evil quests. can i join the next one?
>>
>>2085382
Aww yiss. Looking forward to the next one!
>>
>>2085404
Evil always needs more peons to throw into the grinder. Sure you can.
>>
>>2085382
I'm confused.
We did all that just to kill one dude?
Why didn't we burn the archives?
>>
>>2085404
Anyone can join as long as they're here when the quest starts.
>>2085382
Woohoo I'm alive!
>>
>>2085435
drinks on me, bro
>>
>>2085429
I'm sad now.
He was a bit mad and stuff, why would they kill him so cruelly?
>>
>>2085431
You wanted the map.
The twins were Celestia's assassins from the other quest
>>2085459
He had feelings for Radiant
Sad.
So sad.
>>
>>2085488
Wait, it was Greymane?
I know it wasn't Cuckoo, I don't have a boner for my own characters.
Maybe a little one
>>
>>2085525
That was a joke, remember, Greymane was alive at the end of Ironhide, while the feelings guy died long before that.
>>
>>2085525
Wait..hold on..who is Greymane again?
>>
>>2085572
Oh right, I can't into timelines.
Sad
So sad
>>
>>2085574
Head of the Canterlot Archives, also a traitor working for Patchwreck
>>
>>2085624
Ah..shit, that must've passed through my mind. Makes a lot of sense now, thanks. When should we expect the next one?
>>
>>2085652
A trip to Tambelon
More revelations on Patchwreck, Reanimator and the Great One
Possibly a run-in with the Good campaign crew
>>
>>2085706
I can't wait to get killed my myself!
