I think the group of ponies may be the chamber full of angry skeletons.
>>
>>2301014
Let's head to the North-East, and try to find the Reanimator.
>>
>A place destroyed by fire...
>Could you mean the cave of initiations?
>The one that burned down some time before Ironhide arrived?
>Because if so, we need to angle the map a little.
>That group of ponies is most likely that cave
>So we must actually go directly north to find the... flesh... golems.
>That is the most likely place we will find the Reanimator
>This door is also unlocked and untrapped. We can enter any time you wish.
>>
>>2301032
"Let's go then. Will you scout ahead, or shall I take the lead?"
>>
>>2301032
Let's go.
>>
>>2301052
We should move together.
>>
>>2301032
Let's go north.
>>
>>2301052
>We will scout ahead
>>2301066
>I will stay with the group

Cloak gives his brother a very sharp look
>WE. Will scout. Ahead.

The twins slink into the shadows and begind whispering their reports
>North exit guarded by sentries
>Large. Appear slow. Possibly undead.
>Crown path larger than the others.
>We can sense many guards.
>Study path is unguarded
>Unsure why
>>
>>2301127
"If what you say is correct, the crown path is likely the den of Patchwreck. The Reanimator may be in either of the other two."
>>
>>2301127
Should we go to the study?
>>
>>2301127
Do we still want to go north?
>>
>>2301127
>>2301169
"I would have said the same, but if they are under attack the Reanimator is probably making more undead now and is not there. Let's take out the undead sentries and go there."
>>
>>2301127
The fact that the skull circle wasn't connected to everything else makes me think we can't access it from these tunnels. We don't have time to waist so we should go after The Renamimator.

>>2301170
Do you want to have a go at getting rid of those sentries?
>>
>>2301189
I could probably kill one of them, you guys would have to take care of the other.
>>
>>2301207
"I will kill the other one."

DM, what's up with our autopiloted players?
>>
>>2301207
Fire might be too noticeable right here.

>>2301186
Do you think you can smash one without yelling?
>>
>>2301226
"Maybe..."
>>
>>2301186
You are right we have to take him down.
>>
>>2301245
Be sure to take that knight and your friend with you.
>>
>>2301219
They are standing there, motionless and silent. They occasionally do idle animations.

Do you want to attack the undead sentries?
If so, go ahead, you have initiative.
>>
>>2301292
Cast Unmaking on one.
>>
>>2301278
Im going with you guys.

>>2301292
Roll for stealth.
>>
>>2301292
Leap out and smash the head of the other.
No yelling this time.
>>
>>2301292
Max attacks with his Rune Sword.
>>
>>2301292
Charge the second one.
>>
>>2301299
>99
The muscles of the zombie construct unwind as its bones lose all strength and the skin becomes akin to wet paper.
The entire thing collapses into a heap of nothing.
>>2301324
You miss, though silently.
>>2301335
The rune sword drains the magic holding the zombie together, making it slouch a little
>>2301347
as Gaius lands a killing blow.

The sentries seem to be handled now. That was worryingly easy.
>>
>>2301388
"They maybe felt them go down. Let's hurry."
>>
>>2301388
Let's cautiously go further.
>>
>>2301388
I use my magic to push the remaining corpse into a dark corner.
>>
>>2301388
Walk in the shadows.
>>
>>2301413
"Yes. We must capitalize on this moment."
>>
You enter another chamber. A small plaque on the wall calls it the Fleshforge. How convenient of these evil cultists to label their lair.

Observe area?
Charge in madly?
Fall back?
>>
>>2301481
Observe.
>>
I have some thematic music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn3DyOatEuE

>>2301481
Observe area.
>>
>>2301481
Observe it.

>>2301501
You dropped your name.
You also posted the wrong music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeJjDivjnR4
>>
>>2301481
Inspect the area.
>>
>>2301501
Bah.
>>
>Posting wrong music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOgD0OgFEzA
>>
>>2301481
Observe and inspect.
>>
>>2301542
I fucking love Ambience 2, too bad it's not fitting now
>>
>>2301492
>>2301501
>>2301517
>>2301548
You can see chunks of meat, organs, sinew.
But no bones.
There is meat on hooks. Meat in tubs. Meat on slabs. Meat in carts.
Yet zero bones.
Just some metal and wood rods built into rough skeletons.

There are some necromancers pushing carts around into side rooms. A few more and frantically stitching huge flesh chunks to the makeshift skeletons.

There is a diamond dog's hand floating next to you, holding an eyeball.
>>
>>2301595
I stab the eye with my knife.
>>
>>2301595
Stab the hand.
>>
>>2301595
Oh shit, I think they know we are here.
"Zebro, do something about it!"
>>
>>2301595
Take control of the hand
>>
>>2301627
You pop the eye with a disgusting squish
>>2301641
However the hand evades your blade
>>2301650
The hand grasps you by the throat and begins lifting you. You can hear a disembodied voice coming from it
>"Oh no you WONT"
>>
>>2301709
I grab the hand and start pulling him back down.
>>
>>2301709
Fuck
Cast unmaking on that hand
>>
>>2301709
Smash the hand!
>>
>>2301709
Check to see if any of the necromancers seem to know of our presence.
>>
>>2301726
You yank the hand down. It seems unable to support the weight of two creatures.
>>2301727
The hand begins to unravel, but you can sense more magic being applied to it from elsewhere keeping it toge-
>>2301735
nevermind, dawn stomped it to bits
>"ARGH! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"

>>2301747
Several seem to be alerted, but none have seen you.
>>
>>2301783
Look out for the necromancer who controlled the hand
>>
>>2301783
Dawn and the twins need to take out as many as they can before we are seen.
>>
>>2301783
Still no sign of the Reanimator?
Maybe he is in one of the rooms...
>>
>>2301783
Ok we are going to do this >>2301819
>>
>>2301814
It wasn't anyone in this room at least.
>>2301819
>At once.
>Will do.
The twins vanish for a moment, then two necromancers fall dead, leaving their work on a flesh golem half-finished.
>>2301858
Dawn follows suit and kills a third necromancer, who is pushing a cart of body parts around.
That seems to have taken care of the most alert ones, though several more remain.
>>2301833
A quick observation reveals that there are side chambers to this room. Three on the ground level, with rails leading into them. Two on the upper level. And a final one at the top level.
>>
>>2301899
Do we want to take care of the others down her or go to the top?
>>
>>2301899
Let's sneak up to the top one, and peek inside.
>>
>>2301938
Head for either the top or middle levels. It's unlikely the bottom floor has anything of interest.
>>
>>2301899
The Reanimator is probably in one of those chambers, we should check them out.
>>
>>2301899
Check the rooms.
>>
>>2301984
As you peek into one of the rooms you see several necromancers busily working on a huge flesh golem. It seems to be part bear, part minotaur. A beartaur, if you will.
As you turn to look away you bump into a necromancer. He has no time to make noise before Dagger appears and stabs him, only to get teleported back to Cloak
>Whatever has gotten into you, work it out of you, brother. Risking ourselves like that is NOT our mission.
>>
>>2302105
I just glance at Dawn to show her my disapproval.
>>
>>2302105
I wonder why they build all those flesh golems.
>>
>>2302105
We have to stop this necromancers before they finish the beartaur.
>>
>>2302222
"Let's find Reanimator first."
>>
>>2301949
Yep. There he is.
No doubt about it. This is Scripted Scene, the pony you saw in the twins' spy spell.
He is surrounded by five floating hands, seemingly cut from female diamond dogs. They all have long, dextrous fingers. He occasionally floats one closer and scratched his ears with it.
He has not seen you.
>>
>>2302255
He is going to summon his friends if we attack him.
>>
>>2302222
Don't you remember that dream? Let's go find the pony we're after and beat the location of the skull out of him.
>>
>>2302267
I signal for Cloak and Dagger, and ask them if they can take him out, or if we should charge him.
>>
>>2302307
>We can try.
>But we cannot guarantee results.
>>
>>2302324
Im going with you guys.
>>
>>2302307
If we trust the crazy hobo pony then we need to take both of them down.
>>
>>2302324
What about this, I charge at him, and when he is occupied with me, you do that puff of smoke thing and stab him from behind?
>>
>>2302324
We need him alive. Break his legs or something.
>>
>>2302350
This is just a question, not the action.
>>
>>2302350
Sound. I can guard the door if more appear.
>>
>>2302350
>We fear you are making a great mistake
>But if that is the plan we will go with it
>>2302346
>So be it
>No, stay back
>FOCUS BROTHER
>Yes brother. We go when ready.
>>
>>2302466
Stop! We need him alive.
>>
>>2302466
"Making a mistake? What do you mean? Is it about the thing the homeless said? Then what do you suggest we do? We are wasting time!"
>>
>>2302481
Valiance once again takes his moment to speak
"Then let me be the first to challenge him. I fear not pain nor death."
>>2302501
>For once in your life, observe before charging you impudent harlot
>Uncalled for, brother
>As is your lack of focus, Dagger. Now pay attention. Charge in if you will but I doubt he is standing there so calmly without a plan.
>>
>>2302550
Zebro, check and see what he has in store for us.
>>
>>2302550
>>2302572
Does he have any other corpses or parts of corpses in there?
>>
>>2302550
"He knows we are here. We need kill those sentry hands. But I can't do it from afar, I was trained for close quarter combat. And you are the one who fucked my sister, so I am no harlot."
>>
>>2302585
He has those hands, and a whole lot of assorted things on shelves, ranging from limbs to organs.
>>
>>2302585
Can you take out those hands while our stronger party members subdue him?
>>
>>2302601
"We have the element of surprise for the moment. Someone needs to seize it, and now. Once that golem is completed, we may not even survive to make it to the skull."
>>
>>2302651
I could take out one hand at a time but that wouldn't be enough
>>
>>2302666
Where is your dragon btw.
>>
>>2302550
Are the hands far enough away from him for me to hit them with Fire Spray without hitting him?
>>
>>2302684
He's right here, see?
You must be going blind.
>>
>>2302687
Gah
>>
>>2302666
>"Indeed it would not. Nor would it be necessary. You need not whisper behind my back like that. Please, come in."
It seems he is not deaf after all.
>>
>>2302698
I've heard if the semen goes into one's eyes it can cause blindness
>>
>>2302719
Well seeing as how he asked so nicely, Radiant can go in first.
>>
>>2302719
I go in, my hammer ready, but don't attack.
"Don't move, heretic. Give up yourself without a fight, and you may earn yourself a swift death."
>>
>>2302782
I don't think intimidating a mighty necromancer like that is a good idea
>>
>>2302844
Well what the fuck am I supposed to say?
>>
>>2302782
>"Such harsh words.
>I know my crimes. I regret them deeply. Perhaps in all this we have gone too far. Every one of us.
>But the sun shines upon us all in equal does it not?
>Perhaps you would enjoy a refreshment before we leave this dreary place, hm?"
>>
>>2302854
I wouldn't fucking know
>>
>>2302863
Why not just tell us where Strife's skull is so we can keep everyone from dying?
>>
>>2302863
"You regret your crimes? And you still here, making these abomation undead creatures?
I think not.
And you're not going anywhere unless you tell us where the draconequus is."
>>
>>2302863
"Forgive us if we refuse any of your...elixirs. You have much to explain."
>>
>>2302863
I'd rather not drink anything offered by you.
>>
>>2302882
>"That is out of my... hands I'm afraid. My old friend of many decades, Moonshine, has taken to guarding it himself. Perhaps you know him better as Patchwreck."
>>2302911
>"The Great One resides in the chamber of reconstruction, along with every bone our followers have gathered. It is there that the devout build his body.
>I am here as I must be here. There is noplace else for me to be. Ever since my jealous colleges at the Canterlot Grand Hospital chased me out with falsified claims of horrible crimes, what was I to do? I took the only offer I was given. The offer of eternal life."
>>2302922
>>2303000
>"Very well. Perhaps I'll just enjoy some myself then."
Two of the hands begin to prepare some tea
>"Now I do not wish to fight you. I only wish to leave this place alive. However, I cannot simply walk away. Patchwreck has his ways of keeping me close, and the constructs I have made are not mine to control either."
>>
>>2303049
We can save you but only if you help us.
>>
>>2303049
And what are these ways of keeping you close?
>>
>>2303049
"What do you mean false claims? If you helped Moonshine become the monster he is now, you must have done something to get exiled!
But if that's true, then yield to us, and come with peace.
And tell us more about Patchwreck!"
>>
>>2303099
>"I trust you. I know not why, but I can see it in you. You have gained too much to die lying now"
>>2303109
>"He has a certain... safeguard in place. I wish not to speak of it in great detail. It is not a topic I enjoy."
>>2303134
>"After my forced exile I embraced my supposed crimes. If I was already blamed for building abominations, then I thought there would be no further harm in actually trying it. And I was good at it. Very good.
>As for Moonshine, he has always had a thing for Princess Luna. Sadly, he could never admit it to her. After Luna went mad and was defeated by Celestia, Moonshine swore blood vengeance, vowing to destroy all Celestia loved as she had done to him. He found the skull of a Draconequus during his travels, and through his skills with necromancy, breathed enough life into it to have discussions and learn secrets from it. Those secrets are the basis of what you see here.
>My part in all this was more of a personal one. Moonshine never admitted his love for he was a mere unicorn, not an alicorn like Luna. He insisted I... improve him. And improve and improve and improve. He is never happy. Never perfect enough. So here I remain, cast out from the world above, serving alongside a madpony whose only friends in life are an outcast like me and a long since dead demigod."
he takes a sip of tea
>"This is very good. Sad that you didn't want any"
>>
>>2303260
How do we destroy him without destroying you? Does he have any weaknesses?
>>
>>2303260
He force your hoof but you can redeem yourself, how can we stop him?
>>
>>2303260
Is there a way to stop him?
>>
>>2303260
"I...I don't think you are lying. I will trust you, for now, if you cooperate with us. Help us stop Patchwreck and Strife, and I promise I will do everything to get your old job and life back. But if you betray us, I will kill you."
>>
>>2303260
His ravings are the lamentations of a madpony. You must realize your endeavor is a fruitless one. Surely you must see the wisdom in helping us end his madness once and for all.
>>
>>2303297
>>2303326
>>2303334
>"Perfection implies no weaknesses. My advice is to reduce him down back to a unicorn. Remove from that which I have added and he will grow more desperate, if not necessarily weaker."
he sighs, and finishes the tea
>>2303342
>"There is one last thing. We are both tied to eachother on a level beyond life and de- oh to the pits of tartarus with this eloquence and deception. He is a lich and so am I. We are eachothers' phylacteries. It is a pact I made with him ages ago at the peak of my desperation. I am not proud of it. But I fear that as long as I stand, so does he. Unless you can somehow remove the soul vessel from inside me within three days of killing him."
>>
>>2303438
If you are a Lich can't we just cut you open and take it out?
>>
>>2303438
Where is the soul vessel?
>>
>>2303438
"If we kill him today, we will get the best clerics and mages that Celestia can get, and they will help you remove it. You offered help, and if we suceed, I promise you I will help you too. I give my word."
>>
>>2303438
Dont worry friend we have three days well remove the soul after we finish him.
>>
>>2303480
Herp.
>>
Page 14.
Current horse is almost dead.
>>
>>2303480
>>2303523
Jeez.
>>
>>2303480
>>2303492
>"Can you do so without killing me though? It is next to my heart. If it breaks, he will know, and he will spare no resource to kill you so he may prepare a new one in peace"
>>2303520
>>2303522
>"If it is a risk you are willing to take. If your priests and doctors fail, Patchwreck will be reborn right there in Canterlot. Unless you simply intend to kill me if the time gets too close."

>>2303546
We move there as soon as it dies.
>>
>>2303546
Oh, and there is no page 15, so this will 404 soon.
>>
>>2303563
"If YOU are willing to take the risk, and allow Zebro to remove it now, then we would have the upper hoof against him."
>>
>>2303563
Fight with us, hes not going to kill you.
>>
>>2303563
We can do it without killing you when we're in Canterlot, here it's too risky.
>>
>>2303609
Shaman, do you truly think you stand a chance of removing it?
>>
>>2303644
I wouldn't even attemt something like this here. We'll have to kill Patchwreck first and then bring him to Canterlot.
>>
>>2303598
>"There is little I can do to aid you in battle. I will not willingly throw my life away. I may have become a lord of death, but if you or your incompetent healers risk my life, I will not hesitate to fall back to those I know I can trust."
>>
>>2303705
Alright then. Stay here and try to keep the heat of our backs. Let's go.
>>
>>2303705
Ok stay here if you want to.
>>
>>2303724
Son of a gun.
>>
>>2303705
Stay here then. Where is Patchwreck?
>>
>>2303732
>"In the throne chambers, across from this one. I will remain here and bother you no further. However that is all I can do for you."

Move to NEW DEAD HORSE
>>2303736
>>
>>2303696
>>2303702
Right, right. I'll stop being such a dramabitch.
>>2303723
Next time is the start of a whole new campaign in a new setting, so new people are welcome.

Also it seems someone made a new horse, so I'll move the game in here.
>>
>>2303714
and I hope you'll get used to your flying. Have fun. Don't panic and get out of this as much as you only can. It's a life experience.
>>
>>2303736
When is that?
>>
>>2303736
Let's move.
>>
>>2303705
"If you betray our trust, you will pay with your life. Stay here then. We will get you once we handled Pathcwreck."

Do we have the gems to communicate with us?
>>
>>2303749
Probably next friday.
>>
Alright, let's hurry to Patchwreck.
>>
>>2303879
Second.
>>
>>2303784
They do not work reliably with all this magic around you and so deep underground.

>"Here. This is all I can perhaps give you to help."
He hands you a small, smooth white stone.
>"Dont use it unless you truly must."
>>
>>2303911
"What does it do?"
>>
>>2303911
What's that?
>>
>>2303923
>>2303924
>"It is a little something he liked to watch and lament over his lost love. I took it away so he would no longer sink into that bog of madness. But perhaps now, a moment of bottomless sorrow is just what you need."
>>
>>2303911
Campfire should keep the stone.
>>
>>2303911
A moonstone?
>>
>>2303965
"How do we use it?"
>>
>>2303970
I've already been entrusted with something important.
>>
>>2303911
>>2303965
"Very well. We are grateful for what assistance you have provided. Thank you, sieur Scene. May we meet again under better circumstances."
>>
>>2303992
>me in charge of having a name

Let's move.
>>
>>2304018
Yeah.
>>
You return to the central hall.
You can hear quiet humming from the throne chamber's direction.
>>
>>2304062
Advance cautiously.
>>
>>2304062
Head towards the throne chamber cautiously.
I miss the compliments of Pluck
>>
>>2304062
Move in silence.
>>
>>2304062
Go to the chamber.
>>
>>2304062
Carefully head for the throne room.
>>
>>2304079
>>2304093
>>2304095
>>2304120
>>2304131
You see at least six guards in the passage that leads to the throne room.
They do not look undead.
>>
>>2304147
"Well, I don't really think we can sneak past that, can we?"
>>
>>2304147
Roll for stealth.
>>
>>2304199
"Or can we?"
>>
>>2304147
Are there ponies other than Patchwreck in the throne room?
>>
>>2304198
"Probably not. Especially if either of us tries."

>>2304199
Or that could happen.
>>
>>2304147
I get ready in case this turns into a fight.
>>
>>2304199
You tuck yourself outside the visible spectrum of light.
You are now honest to fuck invisible for as long as you goddamn want.
>>
>>2304264
Make a sign to the twins and kill the guards.
>>
>>2304299
mother fucking HOW?
The twins understand perfectly. This is the best plan ever.
They attack the guards in a rapid succession of stabs and teleports-
-only to find that none of the guards were alive to begin with. They had been propped up on their gear, but inside they were limp and boneless.
>>
>>2304351
Zebro, are they dead or undead?
>>
>>2304351
"It's a trap!"
>>
>>2304351
Oh shit, get ready for a fight
>>2304380
They're boneless, that pretty much implies they're full-on dead
>>
>>2304351
Return to the group.
>>
>>2304351
Let's keep moving forwards.
>>
>>2304382
>>2304411
"They way is open! ONWARDS BEFORE STRIFE AWAKENS!"
>>
>>2304443
Keep moving!
>>
>>2304443
Everyone keep moving now!
>>
>>2304443
Let's go
>>
Mysteriously reappear, visibly shaken
>>
>>2304443
In we go then.
>>
>>2304426
>>2304454
>>2304464
>>2304471
You enter the throne room. It is massive, second only in size to the main hall. Indeed it is a match even for Celestia's own throne room. How they could've carved this place out in secret is a mystery.

You can see the silhouette of an alicorn before the throne.
>>
>>2304501
Can I see anything else?
>>
>>2304501
Anything else in this room?
Corpses?
>>
>>2304501
Prepare my hammer.
Look around for anything else suspicious, but keep my guard on the shadow of the alicorn.
>>
>>2304501
Pray to the pink one.
>>
>>2304501
Ready crossbow, envision pretty stallionface in mind
>>
>>2304565
I missed your complimetns~
>>
>>2304501
"Surround him."
>>
>>2304518
>>2304530
>>2304532
There are large, though unlit braziers on the walls
There are several corpses in the room, though you cannot identify them accurately.
There is a small door leading to a side room near the top of the room.
>>2304544
You feel happy. That's about it though.
>>
>>2304565
Whoops

>>2304585
Merely commentary independent of my personal opinions, I- assure you
>>
>>2304602
"Well, shall we?"
>>
I get myself ready for a fight.
>>
>>2304602
Get ready for a fight
>>
>>2304602
Pinkie pls respond.

Valiance, ignoring everyone else, steps ahead of the pack
"By the sun that shines upon us all, we have come for you."
after a short pause the alicorn replies
"BY THE MOON THAT BLESSES ONLY THOSE WORTHY, YOUR CHALLENGE IS ACCEPTED."

The braziers burst into blue flames.
You now see Patchwreck for the first time in person.
He is clearly a light grey unicorn. Only his legs seemingly have another set of legs stitched to them as stilts. His eyes are deep and beautiful, but mismatched. Each of his teeth perfect, but no two from the same mouth. His horn completely obscured by a large, jagged shard of magical crystal hammered into his skull.

>>2304699
You are giga nigga ready.
Your first action will autocrit.
>>2304710
YOU CAN FEEL THE BLESSINGS OF PI-no wait you just need to fart.
>>
>>2304798
Take aim. I highly doubt any dialogue will do us good.
>>
>>2304798
"Come forth, coward! I, Radiant Dawn shall bring down the Fury of the Sun down on you!"

Take up a battle stance and fill my Hammer with Light.
>>
>>2304798
Raise some ded
>>
>>2304798
Roll for stealth im going to inspect the backside of his throne.
>>
>>2304798
see
>>2304687
>>
>>2304798
"Your actions have brought you out of your beloved moon's light, abomination. You are unworthy to speak of the night in such a manner!"

Heft spear, take flight.
>>
>>2304861
"NOT ONE, BUT TWO CHAMPIONS OF THE SUN? HONESTLY, CELESTIA. THIS IS EXCESSIVE.
SO BE IT THEN."
>>2304893
You manage to raise not one but two pegasi
>>2304895
You find a large red button labeled "DO NOT PRESS"
>>
>>2304950
I signal to Valiance and charge at him.
I aim at his horn.
>>
>>2304950
If you raise Strife he will kill Luna. We saw it in a vision.
>>
>>2304950
>DO NOT PRESS

Oh god this is tempting

Wait with crossbow still aimed.
>>
>>2304950
Root that fucker
>>
>>2304986
No, wait, begin spraying bolts.
>>
>>2304950
Stay in the shadows.
Pray to pinkie one more time.
>>
>>2304950
Divebomb the bastard, aiming for the horn as well.
>>
>>2304950
Max goes after his horn with his sword.
>>
>>2304949
"YOU ONLY KNOW THE MOON AS COLD STONE IN THE SKY. I HAVE FELT HER WARM, SOFT TOUCH. WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME OF THE ONE I LOVE?"
>>2304983
"GREAT STRIFE OFFERED ME A CHANCE TO BE WITH HER ONCE MORE IF HE IS RAISED. HE WOULD NOT BETRAY ME."
>>2304988
Roots burst from the walls and grasp patchwreck
"WELL. IF IT IS A FIGHT YOU CAME FOR."
>>2304973
Valaince nods and charges. However he is no match for the massive Alicorn and is quickly tossed aside.
>>2305008
A bolt strikes Patchwreck's hind leg. He limps a little, then sharpens his focus at you.
>>2305018
Pinkie hears your need. You realize you can step out of the left side of the screen to appear on the right side.
>>2305031
Patchwrech flares his own wings and takes to the air, easily slamming you to the ground.
>>2305090
Patchwreck's eyes widen as he sees the runebalade nearing his horn. With a roar he unleashes shockwave that blasts everyone near him back.

Taking to the air again, he charges up a firestorm spell.
Roll to dodge.
>>
>>2305189
Get greatsword out as I dodge
>>
>>2305189
Rolling. I become The Lord of Cinders.
>>
>>2305189
Throw a bomb to his head, maybe I can break his concentration.
>>
>>2305189
Send one of the pegasi to attack while I dodge
>>
>>2305189
Rolling.
I pray to Celestia that she may bestow the gift of Her Light's wings on me once again.
>>
>>2305189
Rolling to dodge and get back in the air.
>>
>>2305214
As you go for your sword, a great plume of flame strikes you, singing you nastily.
>>2305219
You hold your ground and let the fire consume you. As it dies out the Avatar of Flame stands once more.
>>2305224
The bomb stops in mid-air as he catches it via magic
"YOU DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THAT EASY NOW DID YOU?"
>>2305230
As you focus on controlling three creatures besides your own body, you are caught head on by a fire plume. You take massive fire damage.
>>2305235
Your wings manifest and you take to the air, avoiding the fire.
>>2305238
You get back up in time and take to the air.

Patchwreck's right hind leg is wounded.
Next round.
>>
I aim a fireball at his wings.
>>
>>2305321
Sever his right hind leg.
>>
Touch of Death on his horn
>>
>>2305321
Ignore it. Begin charging and try a cleave towards his leg.
>>
>>2305321
Max attack his horn again.
>>
>>2305321
I fly at him and aim at his wings.
"Look at you, Moonshine! You've become an abomination, when true faith could have given you everything you wanted!"
>>
>>2305321
I aim to cut off his wings.
>>
>>2305336
Your enhanced fire connects, burning much of the wing into a charred mess. He struggles to remain airborne, then focuses some spellpower to reanimate the limb.
Patchwreck is using too much focus. He no longer has Improved Spellcasting as a passive.
>>2305351
You swoop in for a strike but miss as he takes higher into the air.
>>2305353
You cannot reach the floating alicorn, and thus cannot touch his horn, the spell fails.
>>2305360
In your berserk charge you fail to realize he has seen you coming. Roots burst from the ground to bind you down.
>>2305367
Max throws the runesword at the crystal horn, scoring a deep cut on it. Magic begins to leak from the crystal. The roots and wing visibly weaken.
>>2305371
"YOUR FAITH IS AS EMPTY AS THE HEARTLESS MONSTER YOU CALL A GOD"
He casts Blast on you, ending you crashing down to the ground.
>>2305380
You miss by a mile, and crash down on top of Radiant.

Patchwreck begins charging a spell
>>
>>2305503
I cast Fireball at his horn.
>>
>>2305503
Send my minions to attack his horn
>>
>>2305503
Throw another granade to his face.
>>
>>2305503
Cut the roots to free myself and prepare to dodge
>>
>>2305503
Cast Aura of Protection on everyone
"What would Luna think of you now? You are a monster! Celestia's Light shall protect us all!"
>>
>>2305524
There I go again.
>>
>>2305503
"You call this faith? Debasing the form you were granted in a parody of the one you love?"

I get back up there and head for his wings again.
>>
In the meantime
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21NQTYxY0pQ
>>
>>2305503
Where are Valiance, Cloak, and Dagger?
>>
>>2305503
are we controlling Valiance and the Twins here? If we are then they attack him.
>>
>>2305524
The leaking magic catches fire even from the weak flame you produce. His horn is now on fire.
>>2305530
"YOU WOULD SEND THE DEAD TO SLAY A LORD OF DEATH?
BEHOLD, TRUE MASTERY!"
Patchwreck takes control of your dragon.
>>2305531
He catches it as well, then begins idly spinning them in patterns.
"FOOL OF A CHILD. AS MUCH AS YOU ENJOY FONDLING BALLS, THROWING EXPLOSIVE ONES IS NOT YOUR FORTE."
>>2305535
You break free
>>2305540
"MY BELOVED DESIRED FOR ALL LIGHT TO FADE AND DIE. IN THIS REALM, YOUR LIGHT WILL NEVER SHINE!"
You feel your heart grow dim. Celestia's light cannot reach you here.
>>2305578
You wound his other wing badly. He struggles to remain in the air.

>>2305612
>>2305674
Cloak and Dagger appear behind the Ailicorn, only to be knocked away by his protective shield.
Valiance stays back, unable to reach the flying foe.

Patchwreck's eyes and mouth glow bright, and he shoots forth three beams of energy, then starts to sweep the area.
Roll to avoid them.
>>
>>2305721
Rolling. I cast another Fire Spray at him.
>>
>>2305721
Dodge and Backstab his good wing.
>>
>>2305721
>Patchwreck takes control of your dragon.
NO FUCK YOU
Dodge, then try to take control again
>>
>>2305721
Load crossbow as I dodge
>>
>>2305721
Roll to fly up and avoid them.
Fly at him from below to knock him out of the air.
"Twilight fades! The Sun always Rises!"
>>
>>2305721
Roll to avoid and get him in the other wing.
>>
>>2305750
You watch in horror as his beams split your flame in half. You are hit head on. The fire around you guards you, but dies in the process. You return to pony form.
>>2305751
You fail to outrun the beam and are blasted badly. You slam against a wall and fall down.
>>2305756
You avoid the beam and attempt to retake control. Roll. You regain it on a 5+.
>>2305757
With an impressive flip, you reload the bow and dodge the beams.
>>2305795
You loop around the beam and strike one of his wings
>>2305789
Finally, in a display of true divine protection you fly directly through the whirling hellstorm of magic, and strike down with your hammer, delivering a kickass one liner.
The stitches on his wings give in, and both wings explode off in a shower of blood.
He lands on his feet.

The horn is cracked
The right hind leg is wounded
Both wings are dead.

next turn
>>
>>2305880
Pray to the pink one and cast heal on me.
>>
>>2305880
I give Zebro my health potions keep and cast Heal on him.
>>
>>2305880
Rolling
>>
>>2305880
While still airborne, dive down at him from above.
Use Power Strike.
>>
>>2305880
"You think you know what night brings, or what it desires, but your mad devotion blinds you to the truth! Face it Moonshine, your obsession has made you unworthy of the beautiful night!"

Divebomb him in the back using Slam.
>>
>>2305899
Heal? Oh you silly. How could you even get hurt when your body is so bubblegum soft and squishy.
Indeed, you are soft and squishy. And unhurt.
>>2305911
The potion tastes like week old piss and the healing wont even take the gagging away.
>>2305919
You wrestle control away from the false alicorn. You can see the shock in his mismatched eyes. To think that a mere zebra like you could best his might.
The dragon is yours.
>>2305945
>>2305955
In unison you crash down upon the distracted Patchwreck. You hear some nasty cracks from his spike and see that the wounded hind leg gives in, exploding off at the joint in a gory splash.

Shocked at how badly he is losing, Patchwreck focuses his powers and casts Spell Focus.
Now is a good time to strike.
>>
>>2306033
Use a big fat bomb on his horn.
>>
>>2306033
I cast Fireball at his horn again.
>>
>>2306033
Cast Touch of Death on his horn
>>
>>2306033
I grab that spike and slam his head into the ground.
>>
>>2306033
"Give it up, Moonshine. Luna wouldn't like to see you this way. Luna could never Love you this way."
I show him the gem to distract him from his spell focus.
>>
>>2306086
"WHA-WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!? GIVE IT!!"
>>2306085
You gram the horn and slam him face first into the floor
>>2306076
Joining in, you touch the horn with your touch of death, watching it grow dim and gnarled
As you let go
>>2306067
A bomb lands in the same bunch as the two he was levitating
>>2306068
And a fireball ignites the mess.

A powerful explosion slashes all of you back into the outer walls as the volatile crystal detonates.
As the smoke clears, half of Patchwreck's face is missing, revealing his skull, also patched together from those of different ponies.
"EARGH! WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE!?!?"

The remains of his real horn begin to glow
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! PAAAAAAY!!"
His front leg begins to shimmer with a dark glow as he casts Soul Drain.

Roll to dodge.
0 results in death.
>>
>>2306182
Rolling.
>>
>>2306182
DODGE
>>
>>2306182
Take to the sky.
>>
>>2306033

Ignore crossbiw, cleave with greatsword
>>
>>2306182
Rolling.
Celestia protect me!
>>
>>2306182
TAKE COVER!
>>
>>2306219
Can I use my Pinkie 4t wall bending skill? ;_;
>>
>>2306304
I will save you...
We will...
Somehow...
>>
>>2306210

shit
can this not count since I didn't even see the post
>>
>>2306210
You cannot move fast enough with the sword. The mad unicorn grasps you. You feel your body scream in agony as your soul is torn out and devoured.
>>2306220
His meal finished, Patchwreck swing out for another victim. Your road ends he-
>NO!
In a puff of some Dagger appears to push you of the way. You can see the tears in his eyes as he wishes you a silent goodbye. Then, nothing happens.
As you look behind him you see it Cloak intervened as well, saving his brother.
The spy's body falls over, limp and lifeless.
Patchwreck hobbles back towards his throne, now renewed with fresh life.

"SUCH IS THE POWER OF DEATH. OF GROGAR. OF STRIFE. OF NIGHTMARE MOON! WITNESS MY POWER AND DESPAIR!"
>>
>>2306399
>99
You mysteriously appear on the scene again.
How very mysterious.
>>
>>2306402
I cast Fire Spray on him.
>>
>>2306402
Charge at him, and Power Strike.
"YOU MONSTER! I WILL DESTROY YOU!"
>>
>>2306402
Vanish behind him and stab him on the back of the head.
>>
>>2306402
"You dare invoke the name of that monstrosity while using such magic?! You abomination!"

I charge and Slam him again.
>>
>>2306440
Remark on my curse silently and note how with the evil magicks afoot I will only appear to take action every now and then from now

Charge with greatsword
>>
>>2306562
Put up your name, bro
>>
>>2306402
;_;
Hit his horn with my staff
>>
>>2306443
Your inner fire is still rekindling itself. Your spray is pathetic and weak.
>>2306562
Patchwreck sweeps you aside with ease. Drunken on newfound power, he is as strong as ever.
>>2306480
"AND YOUR BLIND FAITH WILL DESTROY YOU"
He grasps you telekinetically my the throat
"THE SUN SHALL DIE, AND SO SHALL Y-"
>>2306488
"-GAH"
The abomination reels as a blade sinks into his head. He stumbles for a moment
>>2306507
Then falls over, breaking off his other hind leg as the griffon slams into him.
>>2306607
Finally, the zebra bonks him on the head.

He is down and reeling.
You might want to try and kill him now if you wish to avoid his desperation attacks.
>>
>>2306677
I cast another Fireball at him.
>>
>>2306677
FINISH HIM
>>
>>2306677
Send my minions to finish him off
>>
>>2306677
I'll sink my blade into his neck then.
>>
>>2306677
I don't usually say this, but there is no redemtion for him.
He is too far gone.
Walk up to him and bring my Blast-filled hammer down on his head.
"I will put you out of your misery. May Luna forgive you in the afterlife."
>>
>>2306713
>>2306743
Rising in a blinded haze, Moonshine shrugs off flame and hard strikes
"LUNA! MY BELOVED!"
>>2306717
>>2306746
Two more heavy strikes. Moonshine falls to his knees
"SAVE A STAR FOR ME IN THE NIGHT SKY!"
He falls on his face
"...I'm coming..."
>>2306758
And with a final blow, the false alicorn is no more.
>>
>>2306677
Recover, cleave his neck.
>>
>>2306820
Dagger! Hug him tight.
>>
>>2306820
"It's sad that it has come to this."
Turn around to see if everyone is alright.
Walk up to Dagger, and say.
"I am terribly sorry for your loss, but we are not finished yet... We must move on and stop Strife, then remove the soul bond from Stiches. We need to move."
>>
>>2306820
I check the side door.
>>
>>2306820
We still need to find that Draconequus skull and destroy it.
>>
>>2306820
"Poor, pitiful devil. His devotion was pure but all-consuming. May he find the peace of the night in death."
>>
>>2306863
>At least now we wont need to worry... he cannot chase us in death...
>>2306889
>I appreciate it, Embraced of the Sun... er... Radiant... er... sister-in-law-to-be?
>>2306893
This must be the operating room where the Reanimator made his improvements to Patchwreck.

Investigate the throne room some more?
Leave?
Other?
>>
>>2306979
Investigate. We have to find that skull.
>>
>>2306979
Investigate.
>>
>>2306979
Not now love, come let us find the skull.
>>
>>2306979
Search. We have even less time now.
>>
>>2306979
Place my hoof on his shoulder.
"You would have given your own life for her... If it weren't for you and your brother, she would have died... You have my eternal gratefullnes for that, and it has shown me to truly love her. I am honoured to call me my brother-in-law. But let us go now."

Can I cover the body of Cloak with something?
>>
>>2307071
call you*
>>
>>2307005
>>2307014
>>2307030
>>2307044
You cannot seem to find anything of importance.
Some old tomes of pointless rambling, cushions, a hookah, surgical tools, a cup, some odds and ends and a bit of lint, but no skull.
Indeed the only notable feature beyond the inert throne is the big button behind it.
>>
>>2307122
Would our priestess of like to push the big red button?
>>
>>2307122
If you guys want to.
>>
>>2307122
How long until this is over?
Maybe we shhould push that button.
>>
>>2307258
The ride never ends
>>
>>2307258
A LONG-ASS TIME
>>
>>2307287
Fuck
if I don't respond for more than 10 minutes someone can take over my character, I'm probably asleep then
>>
>>2307315
Sleep is for the weak, man it out like everyone else.
>>
>>2307334
I already had to pull an all-nighter yesterday and I didn't get any sleep during the day
>>
>>2307350
Coffee is your friend
>>
>>2307350
Press the button Zebro.
>>
>>2307368
I'm not making any coffee at 5am
>>
Tell Valiance and Max to fetch the Reanimator.
Meanwhile, someone push that button with telekinesis while we stand back.
>>
>>2307379
>>2307393
I could have one of those unded pegasi push that button
>>
>>2307385
Yes you will
>>
>>2307401
This works.
>>
>>2307401
That might do.
>>
>>2307393
>"There will be no need to do that. I am already here."
The Reanimator is at the doorway.
>>
>>2307414
>>2307417
ALRIGHT
STAND BACK
I'LL HAVE A PEGASUS PUSH THAT BUTTON WHEN EVERYONE IS OUT OF RANGE
>>
>>2307444
"What does that button do?"
>>
>>2307447
Hold up.

>>2307444
What's the button do?
>>
>>2307457
>>2307473
>"Why don't you press it and see?"
>>
>>2307457
>>2307473
"One way or another we have to find out. Send the pegasus."
>>
>>2307509
"Cut the crap and tell us. I don't want to accidentally revive Strife."
>>
>>2307509
Your phylactery is broken so you better dont fuck with us.
>>
>>2307509
None of this. Tell us now.
>>
>>2307509
While you're here you could as well tell us.
>>
>>2307523
>>2307544
>>2307585
>>2307596
>"Oh here. Let me do it for you."
He walks up to the throne, turns to you and levitates one the hands to press the button.
>*boop*
A bunch of confetti falls from the ceiling and a happy jingle plays as he sits down
>"I must thank you for wasting so much time fighting my hapless puppet. It bought more than long enough to see the skull transported safely to the chamber of ascension, along with my actual phylactery.
>As we speak, Strife is growing closer to reawakening. Nothing can stop it now, least of all your indecisive lot. Not even the ragged remnants of that pathetic army that now rests at my doorstep.
The hands return to formation, two holding swords, three shields.
The Reanimator casts Conjure Weapon, and draws a glittering ethereal blade from thin air.
>"Come then. Let us dance."

Roll for initiative
>>
>>2307688
Vanish and backstab.
>>
>>2307688
"I told you what will happen to you if you betrayed us, heretic scum."
Aura of Protection on everyone and ready my hammer.
>>
>>2307688
Root.
>>
>>2307688
Fireball.
>>
>>2307688
Ready my spear and take flight at him.
>>
>>2307736
>"Too slow, deary"
A hand flies up to block your stab with a shield
>>2307741
>"Your sad magic wont protect you in my realm."
Your aura fails to manifest properly. It might protect from scrapes and bruises but little more.
>>2307750
A flaying hand with a sword cuts your roots in a single swing, then stabs you in the leg
>"Too easy."
>>2307765
>"Impressive"
A shield hand blocks the fireball, but is knocked out of the air
>"yet futile"
>>2307820
The other sword hand flies up and slashes you in the wing, causing you to fall out of the air
>"Oh please. I didn't even need to stand up. At least die with some dignity"

5 hands remain
2 shielded
2 armed
1 down on the floor

Round 2
Go
>>
>>2307882
I cast Fire Spray at the empty hand.
>>
>>2307882
>Dagger go back to Canterlot! Warn the princess.
Destroy one of the hands.
>>
>>2307882
I get up and use Shout at him and his hands.
>>
>>2307882
Use Last Stand.The non killer one, right?
I focus on the Sun Pendant, and let it's power protect me from harm.
I charge at him with my Hammer, ignoring the blades.
>>
>>2307882
Cast Unmaking on an armed hand
From now on someone else can take over, I'm too tired for this
>>
>>2307882
If Pluck isn't here, I think he may attack one of the shielded hands.
>>
>>2307882
Max attacks the Etherial blade with his sword.
>>
>>2307912
>"Empty ramblings of an empty soul"
A hand slaps you mockingly
>>2307907
>Yes my love
Dagger flees quickly to warn the army and Celestia
>>2307897
>>2307916
You destroy the downed hand
>"ARGH! Bastards. So be it then."
The Reanimator gets up.
>>2307932
The hand plays bullfighter, nimbly avoiding the blow.
>>2307952
The antimagic properties of the Runesword destroy the conjured weapon and disrupt the telekinesis, momentarily causing all the hands to drop
>"CURSES! NO!"
>>
>>2307993
Umm, where is my >>2307913 ?
>>
>>2307993
I cast Fire Spray on as many of the hands as I can. Fire Spray can work like that, right?
>>
>>2307993
Fly up and drop a bomb.
>>
>>2308027
A bomb on the reanimator*
>>
>>2307993
Pluck still tries to fight that hand.
>>
>>2307993
I charge him, lance out.
>>
>>2307993
I still charge at the Reanimator.
>>
>>2308015
waiting for the more dramatic moment
you bring your hammer down on the distracted mage, sending him reeling
>>2308022
You misjudge the length of the spray and fall short.
>>2308027
The blast knocks him into the air and he lands hard on his left side.
He is trying to get back up.
>>2308058
He strikes a hand in half
>>2308061
Your lance sinks into his flesh as he tries to get up. He cries out, then kicks you away.
>>2308070
He sees you coming and charged Touch of Death.
Roll to determine which body part gets the worst of it
0 - face
1-2 - front legs
3-4 - back legs
5-6 - lady parts
7-8 - torso
9 - superficial damage only
>>
>>2300115
I attack a hand with fireball.
>>
>>2308139
Rolling.
Try to break his hoof that he uses as I slid to a stop.
>>
>>2308139
Stab him on the back of the head.
>>
>>2308139
Max tries to cut off his horn.
>>
>>2308139
If there are any remaining hands, Pluck deals with them.
>>
>>2308139
I get up and attack the nearest hand
>>
Page 13
>>
>>2308139
Zebro roots him.
>>
>>2308175
The hand bursts into flames and quickly burns to cinders.
two hands remain
>>2308177
Your torso catches the worst of it. You feel some of your muscles wither with nothing lethal happens. You then swing around and crush the limb.
>>2308218
>>2308219
You cleave the remaining hands to pieces.
>>2308201
The Reanimator leaps up to avoid the runeblade he is visibly afraid of-
>>2308178
Only to catch a dagger to the head and fall over dead.

He will be back in three days unless you destroy the phylactery though.
>>
>>2308266
Let's get to the Library.
>>
>>2308266
"We don't have much time! We will deal with his Lichhood later! We must get to the Chamber of Ascension NOW!"

Try to cast heal on myself.
How bad is it, in looks?
>>
>>2308266
Radiant!
Crush the white stone!
Also cast heal on Radiant.
>>
>>2308296
"Agreed. What about that study? It's the only room left!"
>>
hey you... guys

kick the thing's butts

yeah! do it!
>>
>>2308316
"He would just give his phylactery to us?"

Crash it with my hammer anyway.
>>
>>2308266
Zebro use his dark powers trying to sense the ascension ritual.
>>
>>2308340
LETH!
IT'S LETH!
HE'S ALIVE!

>>2308328
"What about the room with the ponies on the map? Maybe that's the Chamber of Ascension!"
>>
>>2308340
Please help us. We have sent an NPC to warn Celestia that we are gullible idiots. Please be the reinforcements.
>>
>>2308296
It looks droopy and kinda nasty but is just a small patch.
>>2308316
A very small one.
>>2308292
>>2308328
"This way", motions Valiance, who has now gathered himself from the floor.

The necromancer library is mostly rows and rows of rotting bookshelves full of musky tomes. The blue fire hurts your eyes when you even consider reading anything in here.
If only someone was good with these Grogar-made writings.
>>2308366
"That was the Hall of Initiations, remember"?

>>2308340
We do have a free slot if you want in.
>>
>>2308393
Zebro, can you read these? We need to get to that Chamber!"
>>
>>2308393
What about his >>2308344

>>2308393
>>2308416
Zebro is going to read the text.
>>
>Aspirant is running a quest in the next dead horse
panic.png

>>2308344
Well done you broke a moonsrock. It was in no way magical or special.
>>2308416
The whispering voices get so loud you can all hear them
>THE PATH IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN WALK BEYOND SPACE
>AND THOSE WHO KNOW WHERE TO HEAD
>REMEMBER OUR OFFER
>TAKE A LIFE
>AND NEVER JOIN THE DEAD
Valiance thinks for a while
>>
>>2308393
I would but I am way too busy right now. Thanks though. Looking forward to reading through this last(?) adventure of your characters
>>
>>2308475
Rarity Quest, guest-starring Pony DnD B Team.
>>
>>2308475
>still page 13

"Is this about Lichhood?
And what about 'walking beyond space?'"
>>
>>2308480
more like fourth to last
>>
>>2308521
"I believe I've read about a spell that deals with just that. It was mentioned in some texts in the canterlot mage academy library. Supposedly it simulates an ability sometimes found in very young unicorns during magic spasms -the ability to walk through walls.

Perhaps said spell can be found here"
>>
>>2308475
Ask the pink one for guidance.
>>
>>2308574
"Do it, and do it quickly!"
>>
>>2308574
Zebro, go find that spell.

I grip Starswirls pendant and ask for help.
>>
>>2308574
Zebro is looking for the spell.
>>
I fall down to my knees and praay.
"Celestia, if you can hear me, we need your help now. More than ever... Please, let your Light guide us."
>>
>>2308576
Oh you little silly filly, just wait for the commercial break and change positions while nobody is looking. Then claim it as a continuity error and blame it on the QA team
>>2308594
Where it once was a blank disc, you now see the text "there is a time for everything"
>>2308586
>>2308618
FOUND IT!
It was under the sofa.
Curious that necromancers would have a sofa, let alone in a library. Oh well. Even evil needs to sit down every now and then.

You got the phasing spell. Who should study it?
>>
>>2308639
"Campfire, you think you can do it?"
>>
>>2308639
I will study it.
>>
>>2308662
"If what Valiance said is correct, he may already have. Hopefully unicorn memories are long."
>>
>>2308672
You think you got it. Not reliably enough to spam, but you can certainly pull it off once.

Now where to use it?
>>
>>2308639
Ok im going to do this and look for the phylactery.
>>
>>2308702
"Zebro should use detect undead. Surely an undead or dead being so big would have a presence."
>>
>>2308702
I start looking for any irregularities in the wall between the throne room and the laboratory.
>>
>>2308723
Zebro rolling.
>>
By the way, did I use up my last stand for the whole session, or will I be able to use it against Strife?
>>
>>2308723
Nope nothing... nothing... more nothing... no-DEAR SWEET GEM-ENCRUSTED WATERMELON BLING WITH KFC GRAVY THAT IS A BIG-ASS UNDEAD BEHIND THAT WALL.
It is more or less where the unconnected marker on the door map was. The shortest path seems to be from the throne room, right through a wall.
>>2308762
You get another for strife because lol DM
>>
>>2308794
What about this? >>2308708

Also Zebro reroll for detect undead.
>>
>>2308794
I love you. I could kiss you.

"Let's move out!
NOW!"
And find paper and pen and leave a note for any reinforces on this wall thingy in the thone room, if they get here!
>>
>>2308794
Zebro tells us what he saw and just how far behind the wall it is. How far behind the wall is it?
>>
Page 14
>>
>>2308832
About a hundred yards into the solid rock.
If your sense of direction is right, it should no longer be under Canterlot City.

>>2308862
WE HAVE NOWHERE TO FALL BACK TO
>>
>>2308882
Can't we ask Aspirant to take his quest in current horse? I think they would hanlde Rariryquest better than DND
>>
>>2308882
I tell the others that I'll try and scream loud enough for them to find me, then head on through.
>>
>>2308913
Living horse never liked running quests, even back on /co/. Either we have to finish soon, move back to the sub, or call it for the night.
>>
>>2308937
"Can't you just make the wall do it's thingy while we all walk through?
>>
>>2308937
Find the phylactery and break it!
>>
>>2308953
That's actually a better idea.
>>
>>2308945
Sub- no multicrits that would make the draconeequs fight more interesting, and we won't stop just before the big bad
>>
>>2308945
Fine, fall back to the sub.
then wait for Aspirant to finish or race him for more horses

>>2308953
>>2308937
"If we just keep casting it at the wall, we might be able to tunnel through as a single chain together"
>>
>>2308993
Can't you at least try to ask him? I'm sure he's reasonable enough... And there aren't many new threads this time of the day, we may be good here for at least 30-40 more minutes
>>
>>2308993
"Can the mage do that? We need him for what is to come."
>>
>>2308993
I'll do that.
>>
>>2309018
>>2309026
You make it through. This place makes no sense any more. It is big enough to fit half of Canterlot Castle in it. How does it even exist...

The floor is bones.
The walls are bones.
The air is heavy with power.
"Shall we?"
>>
>>2309071
Mutter a prayer to Celestia and move forth.
>>
>>2309071
Lets get this done with.
>>
>>2309071
Me and zebro are ready.
>>
>>2309071
As if we stepped into the jaws of Tartarus itself.
>>
>>2309082
There is no light here.
You are in an abyss of darkness.
Celestia holds no rule here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvoeFbH8hHc#t=1m47s

>>2309097
>>2309123
>>2309113
It is dark
And silent
You hear only the cracking of bones, and your own heartbeats.

In the distance you can see a mountain
>>
>>2309157
Zebro use his dark powers looking for the object.
>>
>>2309157
"Celestia may be far, but I carry her Light within my Heart!"
Try to make some Light as we advance.
>>
>>2309157
Let's move towards it.
>>
>>2309157
Ask the pink one for guidance.
>>
>>2309194
He can sense it. It is at the top of the mountain.
>>2309196
You make some light.
You hear a roar.
Roll for initiative.
>>2309217
>Your gods have no say in my realm. But I can hear you just fine, little one.
>>
>>2309249
Rolling
>>
>>2309249
Rolling.
>>
>>2309249
Rolling for Max
>>
>>2309249
Rolling for Pluck
>>
>>2309249
Rolling.
>>
>>2309249
rolling for zebro
>>
>>2309249
Rolling for Zebro.
>>
>>2309249
Rolling for me.
>>
We will need a fucking music bonus

>>2309285
>>2309295
You are all suddenly blown aside. You find your flesh undamaged, but it felt as if your soul had been cleaved in half.
>>2309279
You, on the other hand had time to see what attacked you. A spectral minotaur wielding a ghostly greatsword.

Round 2 is go.
The enemy is a ghost
>>
>>2309340
Fireball!
>>
>>2309340
Zebro is going to cast roots.
>>
>>2309340
Blessed is good against ghosts, right?

Try to find it when it charges again, and swing my Hammer at it.
>>
>>2309340
Max will swing his Runesword at it.
>>
>>2309340
Use my silver rapier.
>>
>>2309340
Pluck will try to damage it as well.
>>
>>2309340
Well shit, I'm basically useless

I use Shout on the Ghostaur.
>>
So long as we're fighting a ghost I might as well post this.

>>2309369
>>2309374
>>2309389
You people are so fucking hax it almost stops being funny
Though a ghost can ignore mundane arms with ease, such an assault is too much for it. The fire blasts its form asunder, the runesword cleaves off a ghostly limb with ease, the roots grasp the immaterial body and the blessed hammer explodes the spectral foe in a spectacular shower of flickering ghost particles.

The path to the mountain is open once more.

>>2309484
Hurry we dont have time.
>>
>>2309484
Make haste.
>>
>>2309484
Let's keep on moving.
>>
>>2309484
Let's continue. No light this time.
>>
>>2309510
>>2309524
>>2309526
>>2309540
You reach the foot of the mountain. There is a path up it. A path of bones.
The mountain is bones.
You can hear more heartbeats. They are larger than yours. And there are many.
>>
>>2309587
Zebro should use detect undead.

"Stop hiding behind minions, heretic!"
>>
>>2309587
I look around for the hearts as I climb the mountain.
>>
>>2309587
Climb the mountain.
>>
>>2309587
"To the peak! Make haste!"

What page are we on?
>>
>>2309617
Also, climb the mountain.
>>
>>2309634
Top of 15
>>
>>2309617
THE MOUNTAIN IS A SINGLE UNDEAD
>>2309623
You see them. They are chained to the mountain. They are carved of those green magic crystal.
>>2309628
>>2309634
>>2309637
As you climb, the heartbeats intensify.
You can see them glow brighter.
You can feel the mountain breathe.
>>
>>2309660
We should take out those crystals. Dawn, if you would use those grenades of yours?
>>
>>2309660
Now or never.
Pull out my two bottles of Holy Water, and spray it on the hearts and some around it.

I trust Campfire has some too?
>>
>>2309660
Zebro try to talk with the undead.
>>
>>2309660
Also, Zebro should try to "unmake" the hearts.
>>
>>2309703
The whole mountain is the draconeequs, there is no use talking to it.
>>
>>2309693
I'll try and synch my throw with Dawn's, unless she doesn't in which case I'll empty my jar of Holy Water on one right now.
>>
>>2309587
And Max should stab one.
>>
>>2309735
I dont have holy water.
>>
>>2309703
>AH. YOU HAVE ARRIVED, OLD FOES.
>BUT ALAS, YOU ARE TOO LATE. MY AWAKENING IS MERE MOMENTS AWAY
You can see more hearts and runes light up as you throw grenades, holy water, fire, petty insults and jars of piss at every one within range

The entire mountain is shaking.
>NOW IS THE TIME FOR THIS WORLD TO ONCE AGAIN FEEL THE UNBOUND POWER
>OF STRIFE

Hold. The fuck. On.
>>
>>2309766
"Grab on to something!"
>>
>>2309766
Throw my sack of bombs inside of him.
>>
>>2309766
Stand my ground!
>>
>>2309766
I hold on tight to the bones.
>>
We fucked up so hard ;_;
I am genuinly scared
>>
>>2309827
>that feel.
>>
>>2309798
This was me.

>>2309827
Same here.
>>
>>2309837
>>2309841
Try it with the music from the sub
>>
Moved to the sub before we fall into oblivion
