Getting up is a bit more awkward than usual…
Wait, that wasn't your bed. That was that bartender from last night.
>>552765
You're awoken by Julia's waking up and getting off of you.
The door opens and Boon walks in. "Hey, Julia, ye in here? Some kid said he saw ye here, an' I-"
He freezes as he sees the two of you.
"…Is this a bad time?"

If you're up on the wall, you've got a good view of the shore. The area where you all landed is nice and deep. Building a pier nearby shouldn't be too difficult, though you'd need ponies who know how to hold their breath.
>>552768
>>552769
Conflicted emotions cross his expression as he looks between the two of you.
"Why would it matter what I think? Yer a big girl, ye can decide for yerself who ye…"
He looks down and turns for the door.

Crookear's hard at work on the woodcutting tools, sweat coating her body as she hammers away. Girl's got some serious curves going on.
"Hey, Askeladd," She pants as she notices you. "Mind lending a hand here? I'm starting to get a bit winded."
>>552773
You trip and fall flat on your face. At least you stopped him from leaving, since he immediately rushes over and picks you up.
"Julia, what's wrong?" Wrinkling his nose, he takes a sniff at your breath, then scrunches.
"Bit too much to drink last night?"
>>552776
Yes, she's currently working on the woodworking axes. Askeladd's there too.

>>552780
>>552782
A relieved smile crosses his face before he adopts a neutral expression, nodding sagely.
"I see what happened. Come on, ye little spitfire, let's sit ye down for a moment."
He helps you to one of the bar stools, then turns to Figworth.
"Were's the water? A glass of water always helps after a night's drinking."
>>552781
"I'm not the best with weapons and armor, but stuff like this," She gestures at the axes and wedges she's currently hammering out, "There's nobody better than me at getting this stuff in top condition!
Askeladd here is a smith too! I'm not very good at making weapons, so I mostly leave that to him."
>>552790
The tongs are slick with her sweat, and combined with your inability to keep your eyes from wandering, you drop the axe on your foot. At least it landed blunt side down…

>>552796
"Yep! That's why I always try to make sure my tools are the best!" Setting aside an axe as she finishes it, She stretches, then starts as Askeladd yelps.
>>552797
"Oh, dear, what happened?" In a flash, she's at your side.
Luckily it doesn't look like it's too damaged, just throbbing and pretty painful. You manage to keep it under control though.
>>552798
Nothing that you notice.
"Good evening, ma'am," You hear him speak, his voice clearly male. "How are you today?"
He seems to speak in a controlled monotone.
>>552799
He offers you the glass of water.
"Shh, just drink up for now. Ye've had a rough night."

>>552800
"Baahh…. I slipped one of the hammer and hit my toe, I got to be careful next time." I yelp.
"My bad for delaying work, please I can take care of myself, I just need some gauze and rest to keep this under control." I grin at her.
>>552802
I look at her direction.
"Yes mayor, I just got careless thats all."

Boon catches you before you fall, setting you back down gently.
"Stop that, sweetheart, ye'll hurt yeself. Sakes, yer in a rush to get somewhere."
>>552803
He's quiet for a moment.
"Not at the present time. May I ask your name?"
>>552802
"Doesn't look like anything's broken," Crookear speaks up, "just let me grab the gauze real quick."
In a moment, she has your foot bandaged up, returning Askeladd's grin.
"One of the potential hazards of working in a forge is all."

"Amor. I am a relationship counselor, though I also help resolve personal conflicts. As you are a guard, it is prudent to make sure you are informed of my abilities in case you require my services."
>>552807
"Shh," he strokes the back of your neck soothingly, "Ye ain't the only one what gone and got yerself shit-faced every now and then. Hell, I can't begin to count the times I woke up with no idea where I was."
>>552808
"Oh, don't worry. This guy's too tough to let a little thing like this keep him down!" She pinches Askeladd's cheek affectionately.
>>552809
She hands you some dented armor. "This stuff's pretty simple to fix, but I don't trust myself to not make it worse. Why don't you try?" She returns your grin, her tail wagging happily.

>>552813
You fix it right up, even making a few improvements. Crookear whistles.
"See? I told you he's good with this stuff!"
Next piece of armor in need of repairs. Go ahead and roll with your response.
>>552812
"Yup, he's one of the best! Not many could fight and fuck at the same time, but this stud here pulled it off!" She pats him on the back with a mischievous grin.

"Very good. I shall see you when we have further business." And with that, he's gone.
>>552816
"What? As long as he's doing them both well, I don't see the problem! Give the mare a weapon, and he'd be unstoppable!"
>>552817
Her teasing is too distracting, and you end up denting it further.
"Yup! Right now it's mostly stuff to cut the trees down, but I've already got plenty of nails stored up and ready to use!"

Whelp repair it.

"I see, that is good news then. Once we got enough lumber, then perhaps erecting the houses would be easier after all. Because I am looking forward to make a small hovel just for myself, even just a single room or two with a small fireplace would be enough and comfortable for me." I laugh.
Roll #1 10 = 10

As you pass the forge, you sense Magistre, Askeladd, and another diamond dog inside.
>>552820
This is the work of a master. Whoever goes into battle wearing this is sure to be safe!
New Unit: 1 Armored militia
7/5 hits/wounds
>>552821
"Ain't nothing ye can do about it if ye did. I'll be there to help ye, should worse come to worse."
>>552822
"Askeladd's a big boy," she giggles, "in more ways than one. I'm sure he can handle it."

He scrunches and looks away, but not before you see the blush forming in his cheeks.
"No I weren't," He grumbles.
>>552825
Her eyes go wide and her tail starts going at a hundred miles an hour.
"Wow, Askeladd, that's even better than before! You really are good at this! Here, try it again!"
She passes you another piece of armor, watching you eagerly.
>>552826
Oh! Right," She blushes. "Just a few more minutes and I'll be done. Sorry, I just got caught up in it." She starts hammering at one of the axes again.

>>552827
"Oh hey there!" You hear the other diamond dog call in a female voice. "We were just talking about how Askeladd here managed to fight off those boars with a mare riding his knot the whole time. I hear he even managed to get her off too!"
>>552829
His face is still red as he helps you up, letting you lean heavily on him. You can feel the hardened muscles on his back; if you didn't know better, you'd swear he was an earthie.
"Okay, darling, where to?"

>>552832
This one's a bit more damaged than the last one. Try again.
>>552833
"Well, it's not like he had any choice. Once you tie off, you're stuck together until the swelling goes down. Still, it's pretty impressive if you ask me!" She giggles; it's clear she's having a great time poking fun at his expense.
>>552834
His cheeks flame even brighter. "O-okay, um… so, a walk around the town?"
>>552835
"Oh, really? What kind of tools? The kind for pulling up stumps and the like?"
You want stuff for tilling land already ready to be planted.

That's better. The armor's back in working condition.
"Good job! Only two more, and you're done!"
>>552838
"R-right, quiet and shady… Maybe my tent?"
His blush brightens as he starts stammering. "Wait, no, that sounds creepy, uh… your tent? Wait, that sounds worse! uh…"
>>552840
"I'm Crookear! Mind if I shake your hand, miss…"
You can sense her extending a paw towards you.
>>552841
"Alrighty then! I can only work so fast, though, so I'll get started on preparing the stump-clearing tools as soon as I finish these axes!"
She stops to wipe the sweat off her brow.
"And after I get a drink and sit down for a few minutes…"
>>552842
You actually got part of the boar meat, as did most other carnivorous settlers. After all, don't want it going bad, do we?

"…T-that would be my tent…" He does this adorable little lip-twitching thing when he's flustered.
"N-now, I don't want ye thinking I'm trying to take advantage of ye, cause I ain't. Yer my partner and I'm gonna take care a ye. That's all."
>>552849
Her handshake grows painful as her surprising strength starts crushing your hoof. By the time she finally relents, your hoof is throbbing painfully.
"I did it again, didn't I?" She sounds very sheepish. "I keep forgetting my own strength, and then this happens."
>>552848
Good as new! Better, even!
"You're on a roll! Alright, Askeladd, last one. Knock it out of the ballpark!"

You finish the armor with a flourish. This stuff should hold for quite some time!
Makeshift Militia now have +1 hits.
"Great job, Askeladd! I knew I could count on you!"
With a sigh, she sets the last finished axe to the side and wipes her brow.
"Looks like I'm done too. Want to go get a drink with me?"
>>552854
Suddenly, her paws are back on your hoof, massaging it with… well, what passes for tenderness with her.
Still, you find the pain starts fading into a dull throb.
"Again, sorry about that. It happens every time!
Anyway, want to come with us to get a drink?"
>>552855
"Thanks, Magistre. I'm going to get a drink since I'm done; you gonna come with?"

I stand up and wipe my brow.
"Yup, that would help really, a good drink after a hards work is always welcome."
>>552854
"Most likely, we cant waste drinking water you see, food, water and shelter are still limited and we are doing our best to provide it."
I then look.
"Say want to grab a drink with me and Crookear?"
I stand up and wipe my brow.

"Great! See you around then!" She leaves with Askeladd and Magistre, leaving you free to continue your patrol.
>>552866
"Told ye," he snorts, though he's grinning now. His blush seems gone too.
>>552867
"The drink went to her head, is all. Now I gotta get her back to my tent afore she cuts me to ribbons." Boon smirks.

Somepony approaches rapidly, bumping into you before you can react.
"Excuse me," a strangely familiar voice huffs, "But is it too much to ask for you to-
Wait… Justicia?"
You recognize that voice! It's one of the professors from Mage Academy, Celery Stalk!
>>552870
>>552871
>>552873
As she attempts to wave her talon dismissively, she stumbles and falls, dragging Boon down with her with a yelp. There's a crash as they fall onto the nearest tent, the thick fabric falling on top of them. In their flailing, they only entrap themselves further, ending up pressed together and unable to move.
It is the least dignified display of clumsiness you have ever seen.

She grins and shakes her head. "Nah, they look pretty comfortable like that."
>>552877
You stand up, dragging Boon and most of the tent with you.
He's dangling beneath you, blushing hotly at your display of strength.
"L-land sakes, girl… nothing slows you down, do it?" You can feel him shivering where he's pressed against you.
>>552879
"Justicia! It is you! My word, but this is a welcome surprise! What are you doing here?"
He sounds really happy to meet you again.

"Is that so? It's great to see you putting that potential to good use. This new land is so fascinating! I actually came here in order to further my studies, away from the noise and ponies of the big cities."
You recall that Celery Stalk was a professor on Love magic, producing several ground-breaking theories and dissertations on the subject.
>>552883
>>552882
Boon's blush intensifies as he remains helpless beneath you, his mouth opening and closing as he continues to shiver.

It takes you a minute to untangle yourselves from the tent, and Boon seems to be shuffling awkwardly as he picks you back up.
"Let's just… get ye back to the tent, all right?"
>>552887
"Yes, nice and quiet, plus there isn't some Inquisition lackey beating down your door every week to make sure you're not practicing 'heresy.'" He snorts.
"The only heresy I ever saw was how they kept holding magic advancement back."

Eventually, the two of you make it to Boon's tent.
He gently lays you down on a thick pile of blankets, draping several more over you as he sets a bucket nearby.
"Now, if ye need to hurl chunks, use the bucket. I don't want ye ruining my bed, ye hear? Now get some sleep so ye can let this hangover pass."
The sheets and pillows have his scent. You have to admit, he has a really comfortable bed…
>>552892
He sighs and pats your head. "I know that they are necessary, what with those mages who don't know that there is such a thing as too far… but that doesn't mean they have to be quite so… zealous about keeping us from doing anything they consider dangerous.
But that's neither here or there; I'm estatic to find you here! It's so nice to have somepony to talk to about magical theory who won't just give you blank stares."
He pauses for a moment. "Whoops, sorry. Slip of the tongue."
>>552893
"Well, that Keg kid was very determined to get this built before Figworth got here! He put a lot of sweat and tears into building this place."
Still, it's very thrown-together and makeshift; not a truly stable building by any stretch of the imagination.

A young stallion looks up as you enter.
"Hello there! If you're looking for Figworth, he's not available right now. I'm his assistant Keg; if you're here for drinks, I can take your order!"
>>552898
He chuckles. "I'll be sure to share my results with you as soon as I actually find something. but for now…"
He sighs regretfully.
"I really must be going. It was wonderful talking to you!"
"Yeah?"
He smiles as he brushes some of your feathers out of your eyes.

The sweet taste of apples is an interesting counter to the bitter alcohol, so much so that you drain half your mug in one go.
Your vision's a little blurrier, but you're mostly fine.
>>552918
Your vision's a little blurrier, but you're mostly fine.
Been a while since you've had whiskey…
>>552919
He shudders at the memory, then gently grabs your talon and presses it against his cheek, smiling down at you.
"Nah, it ain't nothing like that. I sure ain't over that yet, but… I find it easy to forget about it with ye around."

>>552924
He gives you a fairly reasonable price, considering they have few ways of restocking before the ship shows up in eight months.
>>552922
"Yup!" Crookear giggles, taking another slug from her mug. "This place is the best! We should come back here more often!"
>>552925
That it for your faff, or do you want to keep going?

"Like I said, you've earned it. Now go have some fun." With that, he takes up the patrol you were just walking. You are now free to explore the town.
>>552958
She smirks knowingly. "Which one's the most interesting?"
>>552959
You're having trouble finding her because of the big female diamond dog blocking your way. She puts a glass of water to your lips.
"Yes, I think you did," she giggles.
Oh! The big female diamond dog is Crookear! Who would have known?

She seems to relax a bit, nodding and writing something down.
"Very well, I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, there's a report on the incident yesterday that needs to get filled out on your desk, as well as a few other documents which require your review and signature."
>>552977
Well, at least you didn't pass out. Unfortunately, you're not only seeing triple, but you probably aren't going to be walking anywhere for a while.
"Damn it, Askeladd," you hear Crookear off in the distance, "I knew this was going to happen."

>>553066
You wake up in Boon's bed to the smell of food cooking. Your eyes have barely opened when he enters with a plate full of food.
"Morning, sweetheart. Breakfast in bed, jest like ye ordered."
>>553070
"An admirable goal, and one you have done exemplary at so far. We all sleep feeling a lot safer knowing you're in charge."

He recognizes the look and chuckles, though he looks nervous.
"Found ye passed out on top of that bartender and had to carry ye hear. Don't worry, I didn't try nothin'. I'd rather keep my hide in one piece."
>>553081
She smiles.
"They definitely like you, Magistre. They know you're going to do whatever's best for them."
She giggles into her hoof.
"And they know to take cover whenever you start aiming your pistol."

Nope, it's still standing.
"Had a few customers while you were out," Keg reports as you enter.
"So, ah… have fun last night?"
>>553160
He snorts and shakes his head.
"Eat yer damn brunch, ye soft-feathered tease."
>>553165
She nods and notes them all down.
"Maybe we can use the river to set up and irrigation system when we get the chance."

"I'm glad it's you in charge; I'd never be able to keep track of all this."
>>553188
"Noted. His assistan Amor seems a little strange too, but he's really good at his job. Just a week before you got here, he stopped a fight with just a few words to both sides."
>>553186
He glares at you. "I ain't never touched a gal without her permission, including yerself!
Ye got no right to go calling me a pig!"

>>553226
"Better than I could come up with?"
>>553246
He blushes but stands firm, even taking a step towards you.
"We fell into a tent, and ye went and got us all wrapped in it. When ye stood up, I was pressed against ye, unable to move. So yeah, ye had me tied up and rubbing yerself all over me."

DAWN OF THE SECOND WEEK
In wake of the repulsion of the boar attack last week, some of the settlers have started referring to the town as Boarsbane. Whether that name sticks or not is up to you.
There are three tasks of immediate concern; The clearing of the forest near the town walls, the cultivation of the farmable clearing discovered last week, and the exploration of the strange ruins to the west in hopes of finding answers about this land.
Magistre
There are five groups of ten settlers you can assign to work. How do you wish to divide this workforce up?
Julia
You and Boon are going to be exploring to find these ruins to the west. Make sure you're ready before you leave town.
The rest of you, decide where you want to help.

>>555135
Nah, you're waking up in your own tent today. What guardwork do you intend to get up to today?
>>555136
It would be a really quick stop to drop by and give her that while picking up potions. Also, looks like you've picked up another companion for this trip.
>>555137
There's Julia over there. Go pester her about it.
>>555138
Nopony's headed out yet, but there's two sets headed out today; one to continue clearing the forest, and one to cultivate the field.
>>555139
Geneva sends out the work orders, and the settlers begin preparing for their work for the day.
>>555140
As you're headed over, you bump into Julia.

You both bump into each other as you report in to Captain Cloud Cutter.
He looks up as you approach.
"Morning, you two. Ready to earn your pay today?"
>>555145
"It's a safe strategy, at the very least. However, we should probably have a strong escort for the party heading to the field; we have a decent idea what to expect near town, but they'll be much further from help."
>>555146
It looks like the flower you found and ate in the woods!
…If it had been shot several times and then trampled, that is.

>>555155
Boon chews his lip for a minute as he thinks.
"Ye any good with that peashooter?"
>>555152
It's pretty damaged, but salvagable. Maybe now you can find something out about them!
>>555154
>>555160
"Good, we just got our orders from miss Magistre. Looks like we'll be sending a group to the clearing our scouts found last week. Since we don't know if something will happen out there, I'd like to give them a strong escort to make sure they all get back safe and sound."
>>555158
You have enough ingredients for a few, but try to be careful about it; don't want to waste any, after all.

"It'll probably be best to leave our militia here and send the professionals with the farming group."
>>555165
You seem to be having trouble getting the mix just right! Try again.
>>555166
>>555167
"…Alright, I suppose we can give ye a chance."
Boon nods and shoulders Bessie.
>>555168
>>555173
"Volunteering already? I like your initiative. I'll send a few militia with you, just to be sure. I know you'll be able to bring them back safe and sound!"
He stands and salutes you both.
"Though… there is the matter of some… local plantlife that may be hazardous."
>>555175
She grimaces. "Yes, they'll be sure to avoid that area."

He looks around, seeming a bit embarrassed.
"…Tentacles, actually. From what our scouts report, the plant is… very aggressive. They were lucky to get away with their lives.
Luckily, it seems to be a singular phenomena, located here." He points out a location on the map.
"Just steer clear of here, and you should be fine."
>>555184
There you go! That's 2 healing potions, but you're almost out of ingredients. One last try!
>>555183
"Next? Well… Doctor Sweetherb said she wanted to talk to you about something. She seemed to think it was very important."
>>555187
Keg gives you a hug as he agrees to watch he bar while you're gone.
"Who knows, maybe we'll have it built by the time you get back!"

He gives you a deadpan look.
"Your faith in me truly knows no bounds, does it?"
>>555190
You feel him shuffle a bit; this subject seems to be making him nervous.
"Yes, like… that. We don't really know what to make of it yet; all we know for certain is that it's dangerous."
>>555191
She hesitates for a moment, then pulls out a bottle of whiskey and some clean drinking glasses.
"It… was reasonably priced. I hope it's to your liking."
>>555192
>>555193
Boon accepts his graciously.
"Thank ye kindly; hope I don't get too many scars on this trip! Now, ye all just about ready to head out?"
>>555194
"The scouts reported that the plant is… resilient. We'll probably end up having Sticksen Stones help get rid of it."

"She's the town's official mage. A bit of an odd bird, but she's good at what she does."
You have a map of the surrounding area now.
<
>>555201
You set them off to the side, well in view but not the center of attention.
"Very good Magistre. Shall I go summon Doctor Sweetherb?"
>>555196
>>555198
>>555200
Boon nods in a satisfied manner.
"Let's stop by my tent real quick so I can pick some stuff up, then we'll go."
>>555197
"Glad to hear it. I'll have the militia meet you by the gate in half an hour. Dismissed!"
>>555200
"What's this?" you hear a familiar voice behind you. "Leaving without coming to say goodbye?"

Wheat Fields has the biggest grin you've ever seen as she hovers in the air behind you.
"Surprised to see me?"
>>555206
Roll to see how prim and proper you manage to make yourself look.
>>555204
>>555207
He nods as you both leave.
You don't really recognize most of the settlers you're going to be escorting. The militia, however, look like the same ponies who were there during the boar attack.
Askeladd also recognizes Soft Stream, who blushes and waves.
>>555209
"Sir, nothin'. Ye can jest call me Boon."
>>555208
You run into a black unicorn wearing a green necklace. It seems he was waiting for you at Boon's tent.

"Sounds like a joke but yes, we better stay clear out of it."
I stand up.
"I had a map for it just in case."
>>555212
Wave at her back and go to them as I shout.
"Alright boys, stick together and dont let anyone wander too far off and keep an eye on your buddies. We dont want any workers going missing alright?!"

Very prim and proper. Nopony would know you were stressed if they weren't looking for it.
>>555214
"Amor. You require my services."
His voice remains a consistent neutral drone.
"I would like for you to come see me once you return from your scouting trip."
>>555216
"I feel great!"
She dives into a hug, then winces as her leg-cast clonks you on the back of the head. "Well, aside from my leg still being broken. But hey, at this rate, I'll be all better by next week!
So, where you headed off to now?"
>>555215
>>555218
The tentacles comment gets some strange looks, but for the most part they simply acknowledge you and head on out.
Begin journey to the field?
>>555217
You all find Julia talking with Amor outside Boon's tent.
"Well, looks like the shrink's shown up," Boon comments, scratching his head.

>>555222
A few moments later, Sweetherb enters.
"Ah, good. I've been wanting to speak with you. Unless there's another matter that requires my attention?"
>>555221
>>555223
Roll to see how eventful your journey is.
>>555224
He tilts his head.
"Sweetherb has not broken her oath. However, from your obvious distress when you returned last week, the fact that you spent a total of one hour twenty-three minutes in Sweetherb's clinic, and your general skittishness since, it is easy to deduce that you and your companion must have suffered some traumatic experience while scouting. As a therapist, it is my job to help you deal with this trauma before it begins to affect your work."
>>555226
"So am I. So, I hear you got a garden started?"
Up ahead you see Amor talking with Julia.
"No. Simply making an appointment."
>>555222

>>555229
He stares at you for a moment, then nods.
>>555231
"Well, that's great! I hope I get the chance to start planting stuff soon. So, did I miss anything last week? You never came by to visit!"
>>555232
He blinks in a bored fashion.
"Do not trivialize the importance of dealing with emotional trauma before it scars. It is best dealt with sooner, rather than later."
>>555233
"Good, good." She gives the whiskey a surprised glance, then turns back to you.
"I assume you want to know why I wanted to talk to you?"
>>555230
>>555234
As you go through the woods, you come across three wolves tearing into an unrecognizable carcass.
They haven't noticed you yet, so maybe you can avoid them?

She looks around for a moment.
"It's about what happened to Julia and Boon last week. I recommended she go to Amor for therapy to deal with what they experienced, but he's said nothing about receiving any new patients.
Ordinarily, I'd just sigh and accept that some ponies-or griffons- aren't comfortable seeking the professional help they need to deal with these things-"
She takes a deep breath and puts a small container filled with some kind of fluid on the desk.
"-but in light of some recent test results, it may be more urgent than we think."
>>555237
>>555239
>>555241
They look pretty strong, and the worried murmur of the settlers has drawn their attention. They take up defensive positions and growl at you, but make no move to attack.
>>555242
"So, the same thing you've been doing since the boar attack? Come on, at least tell me you've been making some friends out here!"
>>555236
"Of course. I did not mean to imply that we have our appointment now. We will work that out when you return."
He bows to you and walks past you.
"Good day, miss Julia."
>>555242
You are approached by Amor.
"Good evening, Ambrosia. How is the garden doing?"
She looks around for a moment.
"It's about what happened to Julia and Boon last week. I recommended she go to Amor for therapy to deal with what they experienced, but he's said nothing about receiving any new patients.
Ordinarily, I'd just sigh and accept that some ponies-or griffons- aren't comfortable seeking the professional help they need to deal with these things-"
She takes a deep breath and puts a small container filled with some kind of fluid on the desk.
"-but in light of some recent test results, it may be more urgent than we think."
>>555237
>>555239
>>555241
They look pretty strong, and the worried murmur of the settlers has drawn their attention. They take up defensive positions and growl at you, but make no move to attack.
>>555242
"So, the same thing you've been doing since the boar attack? Come on, at least tell me you've been making some friends out here!"
>>555236
"Of course. I did not mean to imply that we have our appointment now. We will work that out when you return."
He bows to you and walks past you.
"Good day, miss Julia."
>>555242
You are approached by Amor.
"Good evening, Ambrosia. How is the garden doing?"
>>555244
Right behind you. Boon gives you a worried look as he approaches.
"Sorry about that. Amor's not really good at taking no fer an answer."
>>555246
"Tests on the stuff that plant filled her and Boon with. At first, I couldn't determine anything hazardous or beneficial about it, so I started running tests that take a while to get results. Well, the results are in, and I think I have an idea of what the purpose of pumping her full of the stuff was."
>>555245
>>555247
>>555248
They keep their hackles raised as you guide the group around them, but when it becomes apparent that you're not going to bother them they turn back to the carcass, paying you no more mind as they feed noisily.

>>555252
He nods.
"Good. Good…" his hooves shuffle a bit.
"Can you introduce me to your friend? She appears to be injured."
>>555251
>>555253
The rest of the trip is relatively uneventful, as the crew arrives at the clearing with no further problems. The militia turn to you nervously.
"Okay, you two know what you're doing. Where do you want us?"
>>555254
"The reason it took me a while to find it is because it's a very slow and gradual process. If my findings are correct, the substance slowly begins to alter neurological functioning over time; changing the way the victim thinks, speaks, acts… you get the picture."
>>555250
As soon as Ambrosia is done talking with her friends.
He nods.

>>555250
As soon as Ambrosia is done talking with her friends.
>>555259
She shakes her head.
"I've never seen anything like it before. Luckily, both of them managed to purge the majority of it before it could enter their system, but it also appears to require prolonged exposure to fully set in. The initial stages are very gradual, and moving beyond that would require additional exposure to the substance… but thankfully they were able to purge themselves of enough of it immediately after that effects should not take full effect. If they had… I believe they would be the plant's next meal."
>>555260
>>555263
You set the five militia up in a perimeter as the settlers get to work tilling the field.
You're free to talk to each other and the workers while you stand guard. Roll a d10 every turn to see how attentive a guard you're being.
>>555261
"I am already acquainted with Julia. I was asking about her." he points at Wheat Fields, who waves to him.
"Hi! I'm Wheat Fields!"
She then gives you a devilish grin.
"Ambrosia, you didn't tell me you have a boyfriend!"
Amor freezes.
She shakes her head.

>>555266
Judging by the heaviness with which he lands from his jump, he must be an earth pony.
"Nothing to report yet, ma'am. Do I need to call you ma'am? I'm not very used to this whole guard thing. I came here to plant, not fight."
All clear for now. Looks like those wolves finished their meal, one of them turning to look at you and nod before following his brethren deeper into the forest.
>>555267
"That may be wise, but first I highly suggest they see Amor about the trauma they experienced. A psychiatric evaluation will help determine if the substance is beginning to affect them or not."
>>555268
She plants both hooves over her mouth and giggles. "Oh, I'm sorry Amor, you hadn't asked her yet, had you?"
Amor seems to be sweating, pulling at his necklace nervously. "I should go."
He gives you a quick nod. "It was nice to talk to you again."
With that, he runs off.
>>555270
Ready to go when you are.
>>555269
You accidentally trip, though luckily something breaks your fall. Unfortunately, that something is a mare, one who is now blushing hotly as you lay on top of her in a very compromising position.
"H-hi there."
Somewhere in the back, you hear a male voice call out.
"Oi! Ye planning on screwing every mare in the colony, or just the pretty ones?"
This is met with an explosion of laughter.

>>555276
"Yes, of course I will continue working, but I have other duties that keep me occupied, and I cannot guarantee results."
>>555277
"R-right, right!" He turns his body to face the forest.
"…How do you get around anyway? For that matter, how do you fight?
-Not to be insulting your ability or anything, just… curious, is all."
Roll again.
>>555273
>>555274
>>555275
And so, after a strange start, you all head off for the wild unknown. All three of you, roll 3d20.

It takes you a minute to untangle yourself.
"N-no harm done," she stammers, refusing to meet your gaze. "I-I should get back to work now!"
As she runs off, Soft Stream comes up with a smirk on her face.
"Already tired of little ol' me, mister Askeladd?"
Roll again.
>>555282
She smiles softly at that.
"Thank you for your faith in me. Now if you'll excuse me, there are other matters I need to attend to.
Unless there's something further you wish to discuss?"
>>555283
Coast is still clear.
"Well, how do I know you're not going to hit me? Barry already got shot by the mayor; I don't want to be the next stallion hit by friendly fire!"

>>555287
Your point loses some of its merit as you accidentally bump into one of the workers.
"Oh. Well… that's actually kinda neat!
So, uh… what's your name?"
>>555290
With a nod, she stands and walks out the door.
Geneva steps in once she's gone.
"I take it the news wasn't good."
>>555289
>>555291
>>555292
You both see exactly where it's coming from. It's not large enough to be a forest fire, and it seems localized in a small area up ahead. Julia is able to see what appears to be several of some kind of tent in the area the smoke is coming from.
Judging by the thickness of the smoke, this must be a dying fire that's probably been burning a couple hours.
>>555293
It's hard to concentrate with all the looks you keep getting from the mares.
"So, when are you going to come by again? The nights are so cold here~"

>>555299
She grimaces.
"I'm… afraid that's not within your authority, ma'am. If a pair of explorers cannot work together, the matter must be handled by scoutmaster Risky Venture, and I doubt she'd be willing to break up a complementary pair with out good justification."
>>555296
>>555297
>>555302
So, do you approach the camp?
>>555295
"I'm Blaze. So… are you doing anything later?"
Looks clear for now!
>>555304
You don't really hear her reply as she wanders off, your focus drawn by the birds leaving the trees in droves off in the distance. As you keep watching, the trees seem to rustle, and the rustling seems to be headed right for you.

>>555310
The field immediately is filled with fearful murmuring and nervous glances as the workers huddle up, the militia lining up on one side while you stand on the other.
The rustling is getting closer.
>>555307
As Askeladd yells, you both turn at the same time into each other, tumbling to the ground. When you finally get your senses back, you find yourself on your back beneath him.
"Uh… this isn't what it looks like?"
>>555306
>>555308
>>555312
As you approach, you notice that the tents appear to be in disrepair. Some of the trees around bear scorch marks that both Julia and Boon recognize.
Roll perception as you enter the camp.
>>555309
"…You haven't met Venture yet, have you? That girl doesn't come when called; you have to go find her to talk to her."
Geneva sighs and rubs her temple.
"I know it's frustrating, but she won't change for anypony."

"Of course, ma'am."
>>555316
You're up and ready! And just in time, too- whatever it is is nearly here!
>>555318
You ready yourself for battle as the trees right outside the field rustle-
and the air is split with a familiar-sounding, now-deafening squeal.
COMBAT NEXT SESSION
>>555314
You trip in something wet and sticky, landing face-first in-
Oh. There's one of the camps inhabitants. Or former inhabitant, at least. He looks like a surprisingly normal pony - except for the fact that his skin has been almost completely peeled back from everywhere but his face. And you're lying right on top of him.
>>555315
Clearly there was a battle of some kind here, considering the number of bodies here. Most of them died to weapons, so this was probably an attack by their rivals or raiders. One thing's for sure, though: whoever was here before is long gone. It looks like there might still be some stuff lying around to salvage.
>>555317
Whoever lived here before is now dead, their corpses strewn through the camp. The stench of blood and death is everywhere. No wonder the woods are so quiet; no living thing would come near this place of death except for the flies.

Askeladd and Justicia
The workers are huddled behind the line you and the militia have formed, shaking almost as badly as the trees as whatever is coming towards you barrels closer and closer. The militia's grip on their weapons tightens as another squeal splits the air.
Figworth & Ambrosia
The destroyed camp is eerily quiet, the soft buzz of flies the only thing breaking the silence. The smoke gently wafts from a few dying embers, covering the carnage with a thin gray shroud.
Julia
This earthie must have been killed in a ritualistic matter, or in an attempt to make an example of him. His eyes have been gouged out, and his skin peeled back and pinned to the ground beneath him and OH DEAR GOD WHY ARE YOU STILL LAYING THERE YOUR STOMACH IS LAYING IN HIS GUTS AND YOUR FEATHERS ARE GETTING SOAKED OH GOD

No, it most certainly isn't. Most of these bodies bear signs of injury by weapons, several of them riddled with arrows or with swords or spears piercing their hides. Some of them have strange burn marks, others bear signs of what Figworth recognizes as magical attacks.
This was a battle, and this tribe lost.
>>559501
You've got two orbs at the ready!
>>559502
Sharp as it'll ever be.
From the woods in front of you, out bursts… the biggest boar you've ever seen. It stands three times as high again as a Diamond dog, with tusks like massive curled scewers. Several of the colonists scream and cower in fear, and the militia look about ready to run for it.
Both of you, roll perception check.

He looks askance at your rather grisly appearance, then nods.
"Shouldn't be too hard. I'll jest say yer washing off; that should be enough to make 'em avert their eyes."
>>559517
You can't tell shit. In fact, you stumble and would have fallen if Blaze hadn't caught you and propped you back up.
>>559514
You see something running around underneath the boar, but it's moving too fast for you to track.
The boar charges your group, squealing and bayng as the ground vibrates beneath it… then slams to the ground and slides toward your group.
>>559516
Boon walks over. "Julia's gonna try an' wash up over there. Would ye mind, ah… searching the other side o' the camp?"
>>559515
You hear a soft whine coming from inside one of the charred tents.

>>559520
A small dog looks up at you, it's foreleg curled up against its chest. It looks pretty badly injured.
Pressing itself against the back of the tent, it bares it's teeth and growls at you.
>>559521
You manage to call it up, but all it can remember is pain. You're not going to get much information out of it.
>>559523
You notice that while some of the bodies are wearing green headbands, most of them are wearing red headbands. The red headbands seem to have been guarding those tents…
>>559522
You manage to push them out of the way…
Not that it matters, as the boar slides to a stop well short of your group and lies there, kicking and squealing. Roll perception again.

Still can't see or sense it, but for some reason the boar isn't coming any closer…
>>559531
The shadow is much calmer than the last, giving you a nod and a sense of tired curiosity.
>>559532
He looks hesitant for all of three seconds before he pins his ears back and whines, dragging himself over to you and licking at your hoof.
>>559533
These were the tribes food supplies! This ought to be enough to last the colony at least three weeks!
>>559535
You trip and fall to the ground, sliding over to the boar. This close, you can hear a ripping and wet tearing sound coming from near it's belly.

He doesn't have the strength to give any more than token resistance as you bandage his injuries and force some medicine down his throat.
After a few moments, he sits up and starts limping around, ragged tail wagging as he nuzzles at your leg.
>>559539
Boon comes over and looks, giving a whistle.
"Ain't that fortunate. But… if these ponies got massacred… why did whoever killed 'em leave all this food behind?"
>>559543
You manage to stand just long enough to catch a glimpse of what looks like a large wolf before the boar's tusks knock you back. Luckily, it was just a glancing blow.
>>559541
"I don't know," Blaze responds, looking around nervously. "Why isn't it attacking? It's just… laying there."
He looks around suspiciously.
"Maybe this is a distraction. A trap of some kind! …That's a thing, right?"

>>559546
He pins his ears back and whimpers, limping over to the body of a colt who couldn't have been more than eight years old. Nudging the body's face, the dog whines as his efforts continue to fail to rouse the boy.
>>559547
From here, you're able to sense the cause: a pack of the largest wolves you've ever seen are tearing into the boar's stomach, gulping down giant pieces of its flesh as it kicks feebly, it's squeals now quiet and listless.
More importantly, you sense a group of smaller, leaner animals headed straight for the settlers!
>>559548
You crawl backwards so fast you end up sticking your head underneath a stallion.
"Whoa there, buddy," He stammers as he pushes you away, "I appreciate the sentiment, but isn't there something more important for you to be doing?"
On the plus side, you're back on your feet!
>>559549
"Nope," Boon shakes his head. "See the red markings on the tents? Most of the bodies have the same markings on the bands on their heads.
This was a route, no doubt about it. Even took the time to torture the boss -assuming the headdress on the guy Julia landed on means he had authority- so they had time to kill.
Naw… I think this place were an example, a warning to other tribes."

More importantly, you sense a group of smaller, leaner animals headed straight for the settlers!
>>559548
You crawl backwards so fast you end up sticking your head underneath a stallion.
"Whoa there, buddy," He stammers as he pushes you away, "I appreciate the sentiment, but isn't there something more important for you to be doing?"
On the plus side, you're back on your feet!
>>559549
"Nope," Boon shakes his head. "See the red markings on the tents? Most of the bodies have the same markings on the bands on their heads.
This was a route, no doubt about it. Even took the time to torture the boss -assuming the headdress on the guy Julia landed on means he had authority- so they had time to kill.
Naw… I think this place were an example, a warning to other tribes."
>>559552
"Hmn…" Boon looks around, then shakes his head.
"No way to know for certain, but I doubt it. Ye don't wipe out an entire group jest to warn the newcomers. Odds are this was just a dispute between tribes, and this tribe lost."
>>559553
The dog turns and growls at one of the other bodies, then keeps trying to wake the boy.
You notice the body it growled at is wearing a green headband, while the boy is wearing a red one.
>>559554
They're not wolves; they look more like jackals! Regardless, you knock one back with a good-sized injury.
>>559555
There's a series of confused yelps as the area goes pitch black, as well as several surprised cries from the militia. One orb goes wide, the other hits a tree nearby and pelts you with shrapnel!
The militia are shaken, but hold their ground as eight jackals attack!

Boon quirks his eye at Ambrosia. "Begging yer pardon, ma'am, but there's lotta dead ponies here."
He has a point; the campsite is filled with absolute carnage. Bodies are lying everywhere, young, old, and middle-aged alike.
Boon crouches down and examines one of the smoking piles of ash.

In your haste to defend the settlers you've separated from the rest of the group! For a moment, it looks like you might be taking on these jackals on your own, when suddenly Blaze and another militiaman take up positions at your flanks.
"We're with you, Justicia," Blaze states, fighting to hide the tremble in his voice.
Luckily, this group of jackals has also split from the whole. Bad news is you're their target now. At least your Night spell is keeping them blind for now.

There's a challenging bark from inside the tent.

A large figure emerges from within. Glowing red. he yells, charges…
Fire. Smoke. Pain.
The large red still moves. Stripes of red are still. green stripes hold him down.
Pain. red pours from him. red lines cross him. green stripes pull at lines, stretching, growing… lines are bars of red. Now stripes. Now all red.
He screams. green stake the red lines down. push into him.
the screams stop. Large red struggles as they pull clump of red from him and hold it to big Blue Above. Red drips from clump. Clump beats in green-stripe's grip.
Big red struggles less and less. soon, green stripes gone. Big red still struggles. much time. All quiet.
Finally, Big red moves no more.

A fuzzy snout cautiously peeks out of the tent, making Boon chuckle as he kneels down.
"Easy there tiger, we ain't gonna hurt ye."
The dog seems uneasy at first, but doesn't resist as Boon begins scratching behind it's ears.
"Ye did a good job patching him up, ma'am. He'll be fit as a fiddle in no time."

You see many green stripes, two for every red. Red stripes big, small, slow and fast. Green stripes all big, all fast. Come from everywhere at once. Bring fire. Burning fire!

"Been here recently, too," Boon remarks, crouched down next to a fresh set of tracks.
"Big fella. Lots of gouge marks; must have claws like kitchen knives."
>>560662
"If this thing talks, well and good, but I ain't betting on it," Boon retorts.
>>560664
"Hey, girl" Boon calls to you, "Ye seem pretty good with nature! Ever seen tracks like these before?"
>>560659
"I wasn't stealing!" he protests, trying to stand up.

>>560675
His eyes widen as your magic link connects backwards.
"W-what are you doing in my head? What am I doing in your head? Oh Celestia, you're going to lobotomize me!"
He throws himself at your hooves. "Please don't lobotomize me, ma'am! I swear I'll be good, swear it on my mothers grave!"
He can now read your thoughts.
>>560676
If you didn't know any better, you'd say these were badger tracks. However, they're easily ten times larger than any badger tracks you've ever seen before.
>>560679
"No can do, sweetheart," he shakes his head solemnly. "We're partners, ye and I. Whatever trouble is up ahead, we face it together."

Damnit! Stop it! I swear to all things holy in this word you speak one word about this to anyone I will fry your brain with such magical power that you will be drooling for the rest of your life!
"Come clean then, did you or did you not steal from the storage?"
I will know if you did and you will be even bigger trouble! Gosh, how does this keep happening all the damn time? I should have paid attention during magic classes but I had better things to pay attention to at the time…

>>560697
You manage to cut the link, but not before every last one of those "better things to do" has crossed your mind and entered his.
"I didn't do it, I swear! I was just grabbing my tools, that's all! Please don't murderfy me, I'm too young to die!"
His wailing is starting to draw a crowd…
>>560698
"Exactly why I ain't leaving ye behind. We made it through that cause we worked together."

It takes Twitchy a moment to compose himself.
"No. Caught him before he could take anything, brought him straight here."
Poppycock does not get up; if anything, he starts yelling louder. The crowd is starting to buzz with hushed murmurs.
>>560703
"Maker knows I hope yer right," Boon mutters.
"Okay, everybody stay low, stay quiet, and if ye see a big burrow, fer pete's sake don't get anywhere near it."

>>560710
You approach the ruins stealthily, using the stalking techniques of your ancestors to avoid making any noise. Boon keeps pace with you, staying just as silent despite his having hooves.
Finally the ruins come into sight.
Roll for how much you notice.
>>560714
It is a very firm, toned catbutt, her tail constantly lashing about and giving her no modesty whatsoever.
>>560713
They do not dispurse; in fact the murmuring grows louder as Poppycock continues.
Captain Cutter forces his way through to you.
"Pardon my language, ma'am, but what the hell is going on here?"

You notice that the ruins are big. They are also pretty thickly covered in moss and vegetation.
>>560723
Catbutt is still in the way. Unless you were examining the catbutt, in which case you can see everything.
>>560730
The captain sighs. "I'll do my best, but you've got to get him to quiet down!"
He heads off and starts trying to get the crowd to disperse.
Roll perception.

You catch a sly smirk on Poppycock's face before he resumes his wailing.
He's doing this on purpose!
>>560733
Oh… oh Maker…
There are vines everywhere, EVERYWHERE, and oh jeebus you just know they're waiting for you to get close enough-
As you lean forward, the ground crumbles underneath you, and you tumble head over heels into the darkness.
>>560734
There! Catbutt is gone!
…where did she go?

>>560747
Your wings feel sluggish as they fight against some strange weight. You feel something land on your head, your back, moving beneath your claws…
"HANG ON GAL, I'M COMING!!!"
Boon charges in with Bessie leveled and horn blazing with a light spell. What you see makes you regret it.
Cockroaches. Enormous cockroaches as big as your head cover the walls, floor, and ceiling of whatever room you fell into, piled several bodies high. You can feel them clinging to your stomach, chest, legs, wings….
Your vision is suddenly filled with a squished visage of and feelers attached to a long, flat body, mandibles flicking as the giant cockroach chirps curiously at you.
>>560746
He sits up ramrod straight.
"I never forgot my tools in the storage. That was just an excuse in case I got caught. I was really trying to grab some extra preserved food in case we ever had a food shortage.
When you caught me, I realized I could discredit you and get off scot-free if I managed to draw a big enough crowd. Once they heard how you're able to read minds, nopony would trust you anymore and they'd all forget about me stealing food."
He blinks, then slams his hooves over his mouth.

The crowd is still there, but now all eyes are on Poppycock as Cutter slaps him in chains.
"I'll take him in front of the townhouse so you can pronounce judgement on him."
>>560760
Beak's shut.
You manage to knock the ones on your wings off and take off, almost knocking your head on the ceiling. The cockroach on your head chitters angrily as it digs its claws in to keep from being shaken off. More are still clinging to your back, stomach, and chest.
>>560761
Boon looks at Julia indecisively, wanting to help her but not sure how.
"So… what do we do now?"

Boon looks at Julia indecisively, wanting to help her but not sure how.
"So… what do we do now?"
>>560766
No, it does not take long at all. Soon there's a new set of stocks set up in front of the Townhouse, their hasty construction meaning their occupant is probably going to get several splinters before he's released. The rest of the townsfolk gather to laugh and jeer at him, even tossing a few mudballs at him.
"Nicely handled," Twitchy remarks, with a hint of respect. "Got a bit dicey for a bit, but very efficient nonetheless."
>>560765
"Then what's wrong with Julia?"
>>560764
You pop him good, crushing him with a satisfying crack and rumble.
Wait… rumble?
You realize too late that you popped it against something you shouldn't have as the passage you entered by collapses behind you, trapping everyone inside.

"One can hope," he sighs, though he doesn't sound very optimistic.
"However, this does raise the question of what our standard judicial process should be. This case was obvious, but how shall we handle further incidents?"
>>560770
They're too fast, scittering and hissing everywhere but where your claws fall!
"Julia!" Boon shouts. "Julia, what's wrong!?"
>>560771
"I can see that! Maybe ye can convince the slippery fellas to skedaddle?"

You've got them all off of you, even managing to crush a few, but there's so many left!
Maybe your magitek gun would be faster?
>>560781
They hiss confusedly at you. Why would they leave? It's comfortable here!
>>560783
"I suppose until somepony is selected, you will have to fulfill that duty," he sighs.
"I understand why you say to build cells… but personally I believe public humiliation like this to be far more effective."

They take one look at the rampaging ball of screaming fury and decide that this room is hazardous to their health. Within moments, they have all skittered down the hallway and out of sight.
>>560786
"If you say so. Now if you'll excuse me, I must be off to replace the locks on the warehouse."
He flaps away, muttering about figures and no-good thieves.

Geneva looks up as you enter.
"When I saw a crowd forming outside, I started getting worried. I don't much fancy the idea of getting run out of town, especially considering where we are."
>>560791
It's a blaster; essentially a pistol.
And when you're having a panic attack you don't think straight.
Yup, roach-free. Unfortunately, you're all now trapped in here, with Boon's horn providing the only source of light.

He pulls out a torch and lights it, handing it to you.
"I can't keep this spell up forever, and we need to find another way out of here."
>>560796
"I assume they have been dealt with?"
>>560798
"Do ye think it's something in the water?" Boon remarks, only half-jokingly.

Justicia & Askeladd
Justicia just finished clearing out one group, but there's another one coming in, and now you're down two militia as they recover from their injuries.
Justicia has just joined Askeladd and the militia still standing to help repel this second attack. Though injured, Blaze has managed to limp his way over to you and join the defense.
Askeladd used his Sentry to sharpen. +1 to all his rolls.
Justicia has a single use of Healing Bonds in her Spellcatcher.

There's a resounding crack as the jackal reels and starts limping badly.
>>563441
In a flurry of arcane power, you summon five orbs of energy to fight with. Several of the settlers and militia ooh at this impressive display of magical prowess.
"Dang, Justicia," Blaze breathes, "You're just one surprise after another."
>>563442
Blaze teams up with two other militiaponies to drive two of the jackals back, scoring several hits in the process while only one of them suffers a glancing blow. The last militiapony takes a hard hit but stays up.

The darkness isn't as thick this time, and it probably won't last long. Multitasking is hard on a unicorn's horn, after all!
Three of the orbs strike home, one flies off and hits a tree, while the last explodes in front of you!
You brace yourself for the hit, but it never comes as Blaze throws himself in front of you and takes the blast with his heavy armor.
Blaze is using Protect on you. Lasts all of next turn.

Sharpen means you still get +1.
It yelps as you cut into it, leaving a sizeable gash.
>>563469
Careful, you might make his injuries worse at this rate!
"Ignore me…" He wheezes, coughing up something that doesn't sound healthy. "…I signed up for this… now protect the workers!"
Remember, Spellcatcher has 1 charge of Healing Bonds right now.

The militia rallies, one getting to his hooves as another scores a good hit on one of the jackals. The other jackal struggles to it's feet and swipes at the third militiapony.

Well, shit. The spellcatcher must be malfunctioning from disuse, because the spell backfires and knocks you helpless!
>>563474
You catch the jackal as it makes a lunge, impaling it's entire body on your halberd. It struggles and whimpers, then goes still.
>>563476
Seeing Justicia in trouble does something to Blaze. Slowly, painfully, he defies all expectations by struggling to his hooves, standing tall, if shakily, between Justicia and the jackals.
"Not… out… just yet…"
The rest of the militia is so awestruck that they stop paying attention for a second and get swarmed.

Nope, it's too painful to do on your own…
…And then there's a paw wrapped around your hoof, pulling you back up.
>>563481
She's back on her feet.
>>563482
Blaze roars and slams a jackal against a tree in a burst of strength, making it collapse and whimper pitifully. Another militiapony tears into a jackal, making it start limping.

the last jackal still on it's feet jumps to defend it's packmate, clawing at your legs.

You trip and land on top of the jackal, mashing your hips into it's crotch.
It's snarl shifts into a look of befuddlement at it's new predicament.
"Uuur?" it goes as it looks up at you questioningly.
You don't know whether the fact that it's female makes this better or worse.
>>563495
The sight of Justicia getting busy with one of the jackals distracts you long enough for the other to score a glancing hit, but the jackal seems distracted too.
The militia just stares, not taking any actions this turn as they wait for this bizarre scene to play out.

You forgot to make sure you actually had some footing under you, and instead end up grinding into the she-jackal.
She whines and starts panting, her tongue lolling out as she grinds back into you.
Several of the males in both the militia and in the workers are starting to react rather… obviously to this strangely erotic scene.
>>563497
You manage to tear yourself away long enough to get a light tap on the jackal. However, it no longer seems intent on attacking you or the settlers, staring at Justicia and the she-jackal.

It squeaks as one last thrust pushes you back up.
Pulling itself up on shaky legs, it casts one unreadable look back at you with ears laid flat before taking off into the forest.
>>563503
You finally finish it off as the last one dissappears into the forest.
On the plus side, you're no longer going to be the talk of the town for that incident last week!
>>563502
"Most buffalo grow to be easily five times her size. She's a… well, one of the terms for it is "dwarf." Basically, she's never going to grow any bigger than she is right now. And with internal organs bigger than they need to be… there are certain complications that arise."

She yelps as you pull her back by her tail, spreading her legs and bending over with ears laid back submissively.
>>563507
They absentmindedly shake their heads, their eyes all fixed on Justicia.
>>563506
"From what I understand, it's not so much life-threatening as it is… causative of discomfort. She'll be fine health-wise."

"Who, me? I'm feeling swell," Blaze says cheerily, his eyes rolling back in his head as he collapses to the ground.
He's losing blood fast.
>>563512
"I'm sure she'd be glad to hear that, but she's rather reserved about it, doesn't like other ponies to know. Still, I don't know anypony who wouldn't help her if she asked."

Askeladd's wearing a dress? That's… interesting. I had no idea he was into that.
Unfortunately, lace isn't very good at stopping the bleeding.
>>563526
That seems a foregone conclusion, with the rest of the settlers already packing up their tools and gear.
Blaze's breathing is getting shallower…

You manage to patch up enough of the bleeding to make sure he survives the trip back and load him up on Justicia's back. The rest of the settlers are ready to move out as well.

"Of course, ma'am. Also, we've recieved some noise complaints about the resident mage Sticksen Stones."

"Strange smoke, 'spooky noises,' hissing, and even one report of demonic laugher." She looks further down the last paper and frowns. "Though I wouldn't put much stock in the last one. The mare who submitted it has also put in complaints about the trees spying on her, the grass in Ambrosia's garden trying to eat her, and 'evil humors' giving her an enormous zit on her nose." She snorts. "It's actually not very noticeable, but she doesn't seem to care."
>>563537
>>563538
The group is making good headway, when suddenly you stumble right into another group of ponies!

These are definitely not settlers. They're all wearing blue headbands and makeshift armor. A few even have facepaint on or feathers stuck behind their ears. most of them also appear to be armed.
However, that doesn't matter much, as the minute they see you they jump up in surprise and run for it!
>>563544
You don't know, they're all running away for some reason!

"She already does attend therapy regularly. It seems she's just easily excitable, always jumping at shadows.
As for Sticksen, I could show you to where she's staying if you like."
>>563548
Too late, they're gone. Looks like they left some stuff behind too.
>>563550
They're headed south, but they seem panicked, dropping some stuff as they run. You seem to have spooked them pretty badly.

"Well… yes and no. Celery Stalk is unofficially retired; he'd prefer if word of his being a mage didn't get around.
Sticks is the one who came with the colony specifically to help with all problems magical in nature."
>>563566
>>563569
Most of the weaponry seems standard, if surprisingly advanced, but two weapons catch his eye: a sword and a pike. The pike seems to be of expert craftsmanship, while the sword glows softly with runes along the blade.

Julia, Figworth, and Ambrosia
You are currently in a room that seems connected to the rest of the ruins. the way you came in got collapsed behind you in Julia's panic.
Boon looks around and snorts.
"Right fine pickle we got ourselves into here."
>>563576
She leads you towards one side of camp. You feel the familiar hum of magic as you approach.

Askeladd:
Runic sword: Single, Catalyst: Applies elemental effect: Fire on a successful hit. Targets on fire require dc+1 to recover from helplessness.
Justicia:
Piercing Pike: great. On a crit, deals a wound of damage instead of hits. if the target would have been knocked helpless, they still become helpless, taking an extra wound of damage.
>>563585
Not right here, since there's a lit torch and Boon's horn lighting up the place. The hallway beyond is pitch black though.

As you approach the camp, Blaze stirs, groaning as his weight shifts slightly on your back.
"…Justicia? Where… where am I…"
>>563601
Off in the group of workers. As soon as she sees you looking, she comes over.
"Oh, thank goodness you're all right. For a while there, you had me worried."
>>563600
Lit!
>>563595
Without sunlight and with ground that used to be laid stone, growing anything would be difficult at best.
>>563598
Okay… better. The realization that there's a hallway connected to the room also helps calm you down.

"Hurts…" He groans and hangs his head.
"Sorry that I'm so weak…"
>>563611
A dark hallway. Pitch black, with paved stone walls-
All of a sudden, you're back somewhere just like this. Somewhere from your past. Somewhere you never wanted to be.
And worst of all… He is here. You know it.
>>563613
"Aw, he was just trying to be brave," she coos, nuzzling into your paw and licking at your fingers.
"Can't fault him for wanting to protect a gal he's sweet on."
>>563614
Can't see anything right now, and it looks like Ambrosia's freaking out.

"Hmn, so harsh~" She suckles one of your fingers gently, then pulls away.
"I better let you report to your boss and clean up, but… will you be stopping by the tent tonight?"
>>563625
"Really?" He sounds proud before he starts coughing again. "'Cause if that was you doing awful, you must be unstoppable on a good day."
Captain Cloud Cover approaches with a concerned expression. "What happened here?"
>>563621
Already several torches burning!

Considering the bloody body draped over Justicia's back and the number of injuries, it's a good bet that there was.
>>563636
She eeps, then shoots you a sultry look as she keeps her tail up just a little longer before dropping it, walking off with a deliberate sway in her hips.
>>563635
"Damnit, I knew something like this would happen! Good work on holding the line, you two. Now get that stallion to Sweetherb before he bleeds out!"
>>563638
There seems to be some doorways further down the hall. There's also some patterns on the wall in this room.

>>563643
>>563645
They seem to be a written language like none you've ever seen. At the same time, they're strangely familiar…
Whatever they mean, they seem more like decoration than anything important.
>>563646
Maybe you should ask Justicia or Askeladd.
>>563642
Sweetherb gasps as she sees Blaze.
"Quick, bring him in here and lay him down on the bed!"

She looks between you and him and gulps as she pulls out a vial of clear liquid.
"Please, hold him down. This is going to hurt quite a bit."

Committed to memory. You'll recognize them if you see them again.
"Indeed, and those dogs were probably carrying all sorts of diseases. I'll need to sterilize the wounds."
She looks between you and him and gulps as she pulls out a vial of clear liquid.
"Please, hold him down. This is going to hurt quite a bit."

Roll for reflexes!
>>563658
All five militia have at least minor injuries, and a few settlers got scrapes and bumps, but Blaze probably got the worst of it.
>>563659
"Hey, Blaze saved our lives, and that blindfolded chick too!" Somepony calls out from the crowd, getting murmurs of agreement. Looks like they have a high opinion of his stand.

"Good." She sticks a rolled-up cloth into his mouth good and tight. then begins to splash the liquid onto his bite marks, where it sizzles and fizzes.
Immediately Blaze comes to life, straining against you as he screams into the the cloth. He manages to thrash around a bit, but you're holding him steady so far.
"Good, just like that. Keep it up, and we'll be done in no time."
>>563666
You're well clear when several cockroaches skitter out the door and dissappear into the darkness down the hallway.

It's clear the crowd doesn't agree, but they're already dispersing and probably wouldn't have done anything about it anyway.
>>563675
He screams again as she splashes more onto another wound, tears pouring from his eyes as he bites down on the cloth. Still you keep him still.
"Good, that's good. Just like that. Keep it up."
>>563674
There's rows of…Something metallic in the room. More writing on the walls too.

With Askeladd's help, you get him back under control.
"I'm not surprised; this is painful, and he's got a lot of bites that need it. This must be excrutiating for him."
Before you fully manage to get him under control, one of his hooves slips free and grabs Justicia's hoof, holding it tight like his life depends on it.
>>563692
They're, um… You have no idea what they could possibly be.
>>563693
You accidentally poke a red button, and the whole thing starts to glow red! You can feel the magical buildup; get out of there!

You both get glancingly hit by the blast of energy, knocking you both on the ground as if you'd just been struck by lightning.
>>563697
You barely manage to avoid the wave. Strangely, it doesn't seem to affect the walls or any of the equipment, just Julia and Ambrosia.
>>563701
You squeeze down on one of the bite marks, making him scream even louder.
>>563700
Thinking fast, you squeeze his hoof just as tightly, holding it close as you stroke his cheek while your TK holds him down. His screams grow quieter, turning into agonized whimpers as he fights the urge to thrash.
"That's great, almost done" Sweetherb whispers encouragingly.

As the last of the vial sizzles and fizzes on a bite mark, he manages to avoid responding with anything but a hissed exhalation, his cheeks soaked with tears.
"There. That's the hard part over, now we just need to cover most of them up. Unfortunately, this one and this one need stitches. Just keep holding him down a few more minutes, okay?"
Of course she is, that's what doctors are supposed to say to keep patients calm!

"Yup, lightshow's over. What the heck was that?"
>>563725
Boon busts out laughing.
"Nice one, gal!"
>>563724
As he holds your hoof, you find yourself looking into his eyes. He looks right back, slowly relaxing as his pained cries subside into whimpers. The fact that he's not passed out from the pain yet is astounding.

>>563731
Button avoided, but you can't figure much out aside from the fact that there's more of that writing on it.
>>563732
"Err… nevermind."
>>563734
He manages a smile and nod, not breaking eye contact. He barely seems to register Sweetherb sewing the last wound shut.
"There, all done. You can let him go now.

"I'd normally say at least a week, but patient's have been healing at an accelerated rate recently. I can't say for sure."
>>563755
"…Could use something right now… That stuff hurt.
If you could… bring me something strong? And… bring something for yourself? I could… use some company right now…"

>>563761
"…Something that makes this all end instantly?" He laughs then starts coughing.
"Alcohol… and good company… would be more than enough."
>>563764
"It's my job now… If I ran away… those settlers might have died."

I chuckle.
"No one is telling you to run pony, there is a difference between running away from a tactical retreat. I ordered you to retreat because of how you are putting your life in dangerous situation and not because of I want us to leave the settlers. If you had listened then you will not be bedridden like you are today." I flick his ears again playfully.
"Also, you need to work on that discipline of yours, if the commander told you to do something, you do it you got that?" I flick at his ears again.
I chuckle.

He pulls your hoof back, drawing it across his mouth so that… so that you can see his smile.
"Thank you."
Thanks for playing!
>>563772
"Ow, Ow! Okay, okay… would have helped if we actually knew what we're supposed to do…"

Shadows surround you, and suddenly…
cool wind through your wings. A tall tower gleams ahead, white against the blue background of the ocean. You turn to look at your companion -Adreage/friend from academy/classmate- who smiles at you.
"Almost there, huh Grildal? What are the odds of us getting a beachside posting?"
>>563786
"Hold it right there mister," she scowls playfully at you. "I see more than a few bite marks on you that need tending to. Now sit down and let me get to work."

You feel yourself snort and turn away without a word. Looks like you're just along for the ride right now.
"Oh look, there's our escort now!"
You feel yourself look up to see-
Blue eyes deeper than the sea. a smile brighter than either sun. fur that you can imagine running your talons through for hours on end. Hooves that somehow seem soft…
He smiles and reaches out to greet you. "I'm Abelran."
You shyly extend a talon. "Grildal."
His smile widens as the scene begins to fade. "What a lovely name…"
You find yourself back in your own body.
End log one.
>>563802
Several painful minutes later, you're out the door, patched up and ready to go.

The room is dimly lit by sweet-smelling candles, your talons and hindpaws buried into the pile of soft pillows and thick, warm sheets. It almost feels like laying on a cloud, only warmer.
His hooves dance over your wings like you somehow know they have a thousand times before, his breath hot in your ear as he presses against your back. "Look at the newly promoted captain, allowing herself to get pampered by a superior officer. You're a rule-breaker you know that?"
You feel yourself respond with a groan, his touch on your wings absolutely heavenly. When he suddenly jerks back, you whine at the lack of attention.
>>563827
You can hear giggling inside the tent.

Julia seems to be in some sort of trance. Boon nervously waves you away.
"She get like this sumtimes. Just, ah… go on ahead. We'll catch up."
>>563838
Turning around, you see him desperately trying to cover up a massive erection and failing badly.
"S-sorry, it happened again! I swear I'm not doing it on purpose!"
You wordlessly rise and stalk towards him, swaying your hips ever so slightly.
"Grildal, please don't be angry at me. It's just that, well, you have a marvelous figure, and being that close to it and hearing you moan and I'm just digging deeper aren-"
His tirade is cut short as you press your beak to his lips. It isn't the best kiss you've ever had, nor the best you ever will have… but it's your first kiss with him. And slowly, oh so slowly, he sinks into the kiss too, his hooves wrapping around you as you draw him close.
For hours on end, the two of you become of one body and one mind, exploring and adoring every inch of the other's body, calling each others name in bliss and esctacy, moaning and whispering sweet nothings in each others ears all through the night…
After what seems like an eternity, you find yourself back in your own body.
Entry ends.
>>563835
She looks up and smiles at you.
As do three other mares.
"You made it! Please, do come in~"

I scratch my head blushing at the thought.
"I… am both incredibly surprised by this turn of event… but also extremely delighted. I mean how can I turn that down." I grin to all of them as I slowly take of my armor.
"Now I hope this is not too much but I just like to know your names before we do anything around here."

"Ooh, a gentlestallion~" one purrs, moving in behind you to rub your shoulders. "I'm Ruby."
"Moondancer," the unicorn lilts, taking your left paw and licking at your fingers.
"We've met," Stream smirks, taking your right paw and doing the same.
"Holly," the last one blushes as she takes a seat in your lap and starts rocking back and forth.
>>563879
Your belly feels heavy, your breaths short and shallow as you crouch in the northern Journalroom, the pain of your snapped wings drowning the yelling in the halls to a dull muted roar.
He sits across from you, his beautiful fur matted with blood from the hole in his chest. The glass shakes in his hooves as the tablet dissolves, his eyes meeting yours. "I love you," he whispers as he raises the glass to his lips.
"And I you," you whisper back, raising your own glass to your beak. it tastes bitter and wrong, but you force it down anyway. Better to end it this way than to fall victim to them.

I let Moon and Stream lick my paws first for a bit before letting go and grabs Holly's flank and the back of her head to lick her cheeks.
"Nice to meet you all, I didnt expect that all of you would come here just to see how I do it. Its like I am some sort of zoo attraction to you gals." I grin as one of my paw holding Holly's neck goes to grab Moondancer mane and began to lick her too.

They're faceless siluettes of ponies, burning and killing, an old friend tearing out a coworker's eyes before being put down, a still-beating heart held up to the sky from the top of the tower as you look on in horror-
There's a dull sensation in your stomach. You look down disbelieving then break down into tears. She's kicking.
He embraces you, whispers sweet nothings about how it's going to be okay. You ask if he thinks she would have grown up to be a guard like her parents. He chokes up as he says that no matter what she did, she would have made him proud.
There's a pounding at the door. You both turn, eyes widening with horror. "No," he whispers.
The tablets won't act fast enough; they'll still have you for ten, fifteen minutes. Ten or fifteen minutes too long.
But there's a faster way.

"Oh, but you're so good at what you do," Stream giggles. Moondancer gasps as your tongue dances across her face, mmhing as the other girls press close around you.
"Oh, oh my," Holly blushes as you move her effortlessly, "You're so strong." She groans and rubs herself against your growing rod.

He asked you that very question. You told him it was because, even if it was just a superstition, maybe, just maybe, a piece of you would live on through these. and even if it didn't- you wanted to make sure that sometime, somewhere, somepony would remember him.
He stares at you in horror as you draw your blaster. The metal is cool against the side of your head as you tell him to do the same. He stares at you, tears in his eyes as he shakes his head.
The banging at the door grows louder. He gives it one last look, then takes a deep breath and draws his, aiming for his own head.
"On three," he breathes, embracing you and holding you close.
"On three," you choke out, focusing on his scent, on the feel of his fur beneath your talon.
"One."
He tells you he loves you, and you tell him the same.
"Two."
The door bends inward as you both draw a shuddering breath, locking your lips in a kiss.
Three.

The door explodes inward, sending your shots wide. Before you can react, they swarm you, faces melted into a mishmash of several species, all leering at you as they pull you apart. You struggle to pull the blaster back into position, but it gets knocked away.
No. No, please no. You don't want your heart cut out and offered to the sky. You don't want him to watch you suffer and be "prepared" for the sacrifice.
He still has his blaster, but can't aim at himself. His eyes harden, and he aims. There's a flash of light, and a punch like a thousand tons of fist striking your chest. You dimly feel gratitude for him sparing you one last time… and as your eyes light upon the red button, you know how to return the favor.
The point of the Deterer is to stun, not kill. That's why you never hold it down for longer than three seconds; because at five seconds, it's lethal.
The world begins to fade as you count down, his struggles barely registering as they start to drag him away. You won't let them have him. You won't let them have her.

I began to grab Ruby's back and lick her face as I let my red shaft unsheathes itself and expose it to the mare's who are curious to my manliness. I then grab Holly's flank and rub my rod on her wet crotch.
"Alright I dont want to be unreasonable but if you gals play rock, paper and scissor and whoever wins will be first one I'll bury my red shaft in." I grin as began to pant in their presence.

"Oh, we already did," Holly giggles. "I won, so I get to get rocked first, while Stream and Moondancer get to be the scissors!"
Before you can ask what that means, the two mares are on top of you, their legs fitted together so that their crotches are rubbing against each other, both leaning up to grab hold of your shoulders.
"And I'm stuck with paper," Ruby pouts, grinding herself into your back. "I have to wait till last and watch all three of them take you before I do."
Stream giggles again. "Fair's fair, Ruby." Her eyes lid closed as she moans, answered by Moondancer as they rub against each other on your belly.
"Oh, we already did," Holly giggles. "I won, so I get to get rocked first, while Stream and Moondancer get to be the scissors!"
Before you can ask what that means, the two mares are on top of you, their legs fitted together so that their crotches are rubbing against each other, both leaning up to grab hold of your shoulders.

He brushes your talon away, using a hoof to wipe up your tears as he looks you in the eyes. His own eyes are wide with concern.
"Do ye need to talk about it? Pain's easier when it's shared, and we're partners. We're supposed to share the burdens and rewards of this job."
As you look at him, for a moment, just a moment, you see Him, smiling fondly back at you in that way that makes your heart flutter…
You blink, and find Boon still looking at you with a concerned expression.
So why won't your heart stop fluttering?

"By the stones.. sluts the lot of you.. and I like it." I pant at the sight as I lick Stream and Moondancers cheeks as both of them cling on my shoulder.
I pant at the sight of the two mare's locking with each other, with both crotches rubbing in front of me. The sight just shoots up my flared up shaft in the air, pre-cum already dripping. I start to grab Holly's flank and position her entrance to my red pole and began to forcefully pull her down, part away her tight fold and take her there and then by force.

Stream moans into your attentions, trailing kisses down your neck as she and Moondancer start making lewd squishing noises. "Yes, fuck us sluts silly and fill us with your cum, Askeladd. We are yours for the taking~"
Eventually, your frenetic fucking tips you both over the edge, her head lolling back as you cry out in orgasm, her own orgasm having hit mere moments before. She pants as you tie her, moaning as she gets pumped full of your seed.
"Oooooh, fuck, you weren't kidding Stream," she moans. "I feel like some kind of water balloon or something."

This is what you trained so hard for; as the top graduate of your class, you have been assigned a command post at one of the watchtowers along the coast, a rare honor for any member of the Primedian military.

I wrap my arms around the three mare's in front of me and hug them all and began kissing them as I wait my knot to deflate.
"Holly is so good… so it will take awhile for my knot to loosen itself inside her… as it will take awhile to loosen inside any of you as I am done creaming inside you all."

OOC: It's a four-no, fivesome? It's supposed to be lewd.
Eventually your knot deflates, with Moondancer moving to straddle you. Before you can grab hold, both Stream and Holly have your paws trapped between their hind legs.
"Your paws are so dextrous," Stream cooes. "Why don't you give us a demonstration while Moonie does the work?"
Indeed, 'Moonie' is already lowering herself onto your shaft, moaning as she begins to bob up and down.

After that ordeal I began to play with the other two mare's who are hungry for my attention as I play with their snatch, rubbing and almost scratching the inside out of their cunt with my stubby fingers.

Moondancer gasps as you enter her, moaning as she begins to lift herself up and drop back down, impaling herself on you over and over again.
Stream is moaning and thrusting eagerly back into your paw. Holly moans loudly at your taunting, legs shaking as your fingers bring her to orgasm again.
Ruby locks lips with you without a second thought, whimpering as her hoof rubs furiously between her legs. She's been getting the most neglected so far, but judging by how vocal she's being you have to wonder if maybe she enjoys being denied like this.

I continue licking Ruby while playing the cunt of both Holly and Stream, until the moment I shudder at Moondancers continued assault on my throbbing cock that I whimper at first before moaning loudly.
"Holly… Stream… I am sorry but I need this…"
Unable to contain it anymore, I drop both Holly and Stream from my grasp and wrap my arms around Moondancer as I jump on her and put her down, lying on her back as I shifted my weight on top of this little pony and began to fully mount her by burying my whole shaft inside her.
"Ha… I'll make sure you get every last drip of cum inside that little unicorn snatch of yours Moondancer. I will tie you up, I'll make you mine." I whispered on her ear as I began my assault.
With that I began to fuck this unicorn with little care for her pleasure, just minding that of mine as I repeatedly enter her forcefully, with the very intention of creaming and knotting the insides of this unicorn mare.

Her cry of surprise fades into a blissful moan as you ravage her, losing all sense of time and the outside world as you well and truly fuck her. Her first orgasm hits barely more than halfway through, reducing her to tired moaning and quivering as you continue pounding her relentlessly.
When you finally cum inside you, she's right on the edge, squirming and twisting on your knot. "Please," she whimpers pathetically, "please more fuck more please fuck please…"

A four-legged lizard looks up and smiles as you pass, nodding in your direction before returning to his conversation with the pony beside him. A group of pegasi pass in front of you, forcing you to slow down while they pass. Finally, after much weaving through the woods, you find the clearing and land.
For several moments, all is quiet. Then, shadows move in the bushes, and a distorted face appears. The same as the ones from Grildal's last log.

Her eyes widen as she cries out, her orgasm hitting her like a freight train, knocking all the wind from her lungs as she gyrates and quivers like a rubber doll, her walls milking your knot like a vise. Her horn erupts in a shower of sparks, hitting you with a spell that leaves you feeling energized and ready to rut ten more mares like her.
When your knot finally subsides enough to pull out of her, she remains laying there, her tongue lolled out as she gazed at nothing with a glassy-eyed stare. Looks like she's out of the game for tonight.
"My turn?" Stream squeaks, staring at her ravaged friend. Her soaked hoof is idly rubbing between her legs, trying to grant the same relief you give to no avail.

Seeing her all ready, I immedietely jumps on her and lay her down, with her belly on the floor and her back on me as I take my position doggy style.
"Oh yes it is your turn now Ms.Stream, I'll make sure this will be a pleasurable ride for you, you little slut." I bite my lips in anticipation as I began to mount her and bury my whole shaft inside her little snatch in one go.

She breathes heavily as her whole body goes limp in your powerful grip; she's completely at your mercy and she knows it. Judging by how tightly her snatch is gripping you already, it's turning her on like nothing before.
Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Ruby bend over and rubbing at herself furiously, whining in frustration with her eyes locked onto you. Holly walks over on shaky legs and drags Ruby to a place where you can more easily watch, then forces her head into her snatch, moaning as Ruby gulps down the mix of her juices and your seed that you left inside her.

Seeing Stream at my complete mercy, I began to ravage her body, burying myself deep inside her while holding her neck tightly as I bite down. My paws began to explore every inch of this little mare's body, from her puffy chest down to her teats up to her winking marehood. No part of her body is safe from my molesting hands.
As I feel the sensation building up inside my loin I let go of my bite and began to breath nonsense upon her ears.
"I'll cum inside you little Stream, I'll knot you, I'll make you mine, I'll cum inside you all and make you all bear my child." I panted, lost in blissful pleasure as I began to fuck her harder as I plan to cum directly inside Ms. Stream's cunt and directly on her cervix. With that said I begin to shudder in complete pleasure as I began to orgasm.

By the time you release your hold on her neck, she's barely concious, moaning softly as you pound her harder and harder, her flanks glowing red from the ferocity.
As you orgasm buried as deep inside her as you can go, she groans quietly and contracts one last time before passing out.
Before your knot even begins to go down, Ruby shoves her face between your legs, licking desperately at your sack and as much of your meat as she can.
"Please stick it in my mouth I want to lick it I want to taste it oh fuck cum in my mouth make me swallow your seed let me taste your cock oh fuck…"
Her hooves are being held behind her back by Holly, who grins evilly as Ruby quivers and shakes in a desperate attempt to find stimulation.
"Little slut here loves it when she gets denied," she explains deviously. "Get her all worked up like this, and the slightest touch finishes her off. Of course, she's more fun to play with like this~"

She glucks eagerly at your thrusting shaft, swallowing it down as you ram into her throat again and again, moaning fitfully into your meat as she fights to breathe through her nose.
Suddenly, her whole body shudders, her attentions growing sloppy as she orgasms without anything touching her. After a moment to catch her breath, she resumes sucking you off with twice as much vigor.
"Told you she likes sucking dick," Holly giggles.

I pant staring at Ruby as she shakes, my attention then turns to Holly as I smile.
"Ruby is one horny harlot is she not?" I chuckle as I stroke Ruby's mane and thrust my still hard cock.
I moan as she continue's to suckle my hard throbbing shaft, seeing her already orgasming while I am not. I bite my lips as I am already at my limits and began to slowly pull outside of Ruby's mouth and wrap my arms around her as I began to lie her back on the bed. Panting I look at her wet snatch, seeing at how it longs for my dick and place it on her entrance, still denying her from pleasure as she so likes it.
"Ruby you harlot, do you want to know how it feels to be knotted by a dog or not? It looks like you are just satisfied with suckling like a little foal are you?" I pant next to her ear as I tease her.

Seeing no invitation is needed, I plunge my whole shaft slowly inside her, the tip of my cock kissing her cervix, hilting her. I then began to lose myself and began to put my whole weight on top of her as my mounting of this mare began.
"I cant understand you Ruby? Are you my mare or not? Answer me?" I whisper in her ears as I ram her continuously, my tip continualy kissing her cervix, I fuck her with little regards for her pleasure or that of her consent.
I began to moan in bliss as the welling of the familiar pleasure began to make form on my crotch, I speeden up as I fuck this little mare as deep as I can, every energy is being poured with the intention to inseminate her with my sperm and letting all of those be deposited directly on the cervix.
"Ruby! I will cum.. I will cum and make you pregnant Ruby, the same as I probably impregnated all of you!" I shouted, already lost in bliss and cant think straight or logically. I ram my whole shaft inside her and began to shudder as I pour cum and inseminate directly inside her vagina and inside her body.

Seeing her ruined form beneath me, I began to just molest her defenseless form, licking and carressing every parts of Ruby's body until my knot deflates. With that I pull out and growl in anticipation, with my shaft still hard and throbbing I look at Holly.
"Thanks to Moondancer…. I can still fuck all of you harlots here. Ooooohhh… I will enjoy every last one of you until I myself drop from exhaustion. You hear me Holly I will fuck every last one of you even if you are all passed out, and I am going to enjoy it." I grin to her as I jump on her and fuck her.

After doing her I jump on Stream and do her too

Accessing log ten…
There's smoke on the horizon. Primedia is burning, and you're part of that which lit the flames. Soon, you will have them, and the ritual can be performed.
Grildal and her squeeze can't run forever, with their wings snapped and their escape cut off. The last report said they were holed up in the Journalroom. Good. They probably took the suicide pellets that troops were being issued now.
You idly tap your claws on the butresses as you relax on top of the tower, watching the smoke in the distance rise and coil through the air. How long has it been since you first met your new masters? It feels almost like a dream, a distant memory you've always known.
…what was that sound?

One of your underlings approaches looking nervous. "There's been… an incident. Grildal put up more of a fight than we anticipated…"
No. No, the fools didn't. Damnit, you told them-
You storm down the tower, headed for where they had been holed up. Ponies dodge to the side and watch you fearfully as you pass.
She better be alive when you get there, or else…
You smell the magical residue long before you reach the room, overpowering even the stench of the carnage inside.

It's already done. The room is filled with blood and corpes, their distorted faces twisted into agonized expressions, leaking blood from their ears, noses, mouths, and empty eyesockets. And right in the middle of it lies a pregnant Griffon hen, her talon held out and touching the hoof of a dead pegasus, their expressions almost peaceful.
No. No, please, no… those… Imbeciles! You needed her alive! Maybe…
Storming over, heedless of the mess, you reach down and start ripping into her belly, shoving your talon inside and reaching around until you feel something solid. Grabbing tight, you begin to pull, slowly forcing it to release it's hold on her, until you finally drag it out into the light.
It's a half-developed fetus, her talons already developed and folded over her back hooves. Her eyes are squeezed shut, the tiny beak between them almost imperceptibly small. Fledgling wings are pinned loosely to her back, the beginnings of feathers already starting to grow. And most importantly, she isn't moving and has no pulse.
With a roar, you wind up and throw the useless garbage against the wall with a wet-sounding splat. USELESS! This was to be your big break and those assholes fucked it up!
"We apologize, ma'am," a colt approaches you nervously. "The entire apprehension team died, if that is consolation."
"No," you growl, grabbing him by the neck with talons soaked red. "But maybe you taking her place will console me."
