As the party stands upon the battlements of Canterlot, the undead dragon begins its approach.
You have a few minutes to observe it further and come up with a plan before it reaches you.
Princess Celestia is with you on the battlements, in her usual clothes and unarmed.
Stormherald is out of commission for now.
Noise, Gracious Glory and Valiance are in the grand hall a short way back inside the castle.

Celestia says she will not fall back to let Canterlot suffer. She will stand and fight.

Celestia tells you that Canterlot is a capital of peace and prosperity, not a fortress of war.
>>2144253
>>2144272
You may send someone to warn the Mage Academy, but it will take time to get the message over.
>>2144284
You just kinda stand there, trying to figure out what to do.
>>2144266
Celestia
tells you to have faith in her and yourself. There will be new queens
to rule over this land, but Canterlot is one of a kind.
Gracious suggests baiting it to land on the battlements.
>>2144248
Listening
to Radiant's observation on the runes, you take aim with your crossbow
and let loose a bolt. It strikes one of the runes, sending out a shower
of green sparks similar to those seen when Unicorns use magic. However
your bolt simply lacks the power to damage dragonbone.
As you try to
reassess the situation, a thundering blast almost right behind you makes
you jump up. The Spice Bear merchant that had joined the Stormherald
stands behind you, grasping a massive metal rifle. It pokes its hat back
and observes carefully as the metal slug slams into the rune your arrow
scraped, making the entire rune covered joint explode in a cascade of
green energy. The dragon heaved heavily and loses altitude.
The Spice Bear looks at you and grins, then begins to reload.
This is your last turn to get ready.

Celestia says she or Campfire can go, or they can send a guard.
She can help the shield spell be cast, but will be unable to help win battle.
The guard might have difficulty explaining the situation as quickly, but will let the party stay and fight at full power.
Campfire is as good a messenger as he can manage to be.
>>2144438
Gracious
stands up and says he will lead the assault in person. He tells
Valiance to get the Runesword that was taken from the imprisoned knight.
He suggests that he will attack the dragon head on, then try to get it to climb the battlements.
Once
it is hanging onto the wall, you can jump onto it and attack the runes
while he will keep it busy. Valiance will join you once he has the
sword.
Focus all efforts against the runes, starting with the ones
holding the wings together. Once the dragon is close, someone should
quickly count the runes, and call out the most critical points to
attack.
Gracious takes to the air and asks if you are ok with the plan?

Gracious,
carried by his skeletal wings, reaches the dragon before it can get
over Canterlot. Unhindered by flesh, fear, pain or fatigue the undead
pair both move far faster than any of their mortal counterparts.
After
a few missed attacks, Gracious slams his entire weight into the
dragon's ribs, breaking one and causing the dragon to drop sharply.
He
then loops around and throw himself at a rune on the dragon's spine,
embedding his sword in it, making the dragon violently convulse and
crash into the wall of the battlements. However as it thrashed, the
dragon also knocked Gracious out of the sky.
The dragon claws it self onto the wall, hanging on with two legs.

The Spice Bear looks at a nearby tower and motions you to follow.
The dragon is now hanging on the side of the battlements.

Dawn opens her eyes, she sees that she was protected from harm at the
last moment by Celestia's magical intervention. The Sun Princess looks
upon her with deep disapproval, then swoops past her to fire a focused
beam into the neck rune, shattering it in a single blow.

The
fire feels strange, and you are very familiar with fire. It is softer,
more inviting, less painful. It calls to you to embrace it. To consume
it. To claim it as your own.

Your shot cracks the crystal rune, but the wing still remains attached.
The Right Wing Rune is cracked, and the wing rooted
The Left Wing Rune is unharmed
The Right Arm Rune is undamaged
Valiance has returned with the Runesword.
The dragon still stands...er... hangs on for dear life.

Valiance
salutes you and steps onto the side of the battlements. He gazes down
at the broken dragon. He remembers it. Many of those deep cuts, missing
bones, twisted shapes. He caused this. This was one of his... no one of
Ironhide's kills.
He levitates the runesword in front of him, its
black blade reflecting no light, but the runes on its surface responding
to the magic that now surrounds it.
"My penitence begins here. FOR THE SUN!"
He dives, sword held before him.

Grimoire is still in the main hall, and starts examining the shards after hearing where they came from.
After
some prodding and a few spells he tells you his initial assumption is
that they are not crystals per se, but crystallized magic. He is not
sure how that is possible, but agrees to do further research if he can
keep the shards.

She
tells you Tambelon was the city ruled by the evil ram Grogar before the
days of Equestria. His city was razed and him and his followers were
banished into a realm of shadow. However some fled, and became the first
to practice what we know today as Necromancy.
As you compare the
maps with Celestia's (skilled and very lovely) drawing, you can get a
pretty good idea as to where Tambelon's ruins should be. It is quite a
way from here, and the only settlement inbetween is a small earth pony
town called Ponyville.

The
tired mass teleport team preps their spell once more. To aid them,
Celestia joins in on the casting as well, but not before handing you the
communication crystals once again. Without the full communication relay
team to power them, messages might take a while to get there, but it is
better than nothing. You can contact Celestia when needed, and she will
relay the message forward in Canterlot as soon as she can.
Make sure you have everything you want to bring along. It might be a while before you get back to Canterlot.

Teleporting
does not become more fun over time. That feeling of falling into a deep
abyss of nothingness, the feeling of your body being destroyed, but by
bit in a split second that feels like minutes if not hours. The cold
grasp of the void. The sudden reappearance. It is not pleasant.
You
are in a field near a town. You assume it is Ponyville. Tambelon's
ruins lie to the south, and you have a bunch of gold Celestia game you
to spend on supplies or something.
Notable places you can see in town are a farm and what you suppose is the town hall.

The child listens to what you have to say, then thinks deeply. Canterlot is cool but he really wants to go home now.
He then looks in the mirror, freaks out and runs off into the woods.
Nice job guys.
You are free to return to Canterlot, or you can pursue the child.
