…
Melody Maker finds herself lying on her back soft unfamiliar ground. Her head is throbbing with pain and her hearing seems muffled. As she opens her eyes, the first thing she sees is tree tops rising above her as well as a thick layer of clouds in the sky.
Roll to collect yourself
Draven wakes up with his face planted in sand and his mouth completely dry and salty. His coat is wet and he can hear the sound of waves softly rolling over the water. He notices he seems to have misplaced his armor as well as his gear.
Roll to remember what the fuck happened
Pejula wakes up in the middle of a jungle faring not much better, lying on her side with several nasty cuts on her body. The cow has no idea how she got there and seems to be completely alone. She does hear the sound of yelling coming from a small distance.
You should probably roll to heal yourself. Or do something else.
Dun wakes up lying with his back on a rather hard surface. As he opens his eyes he notices he is lying on a small raft on a body of water. The weather is very cloudy and no sunshine is to be seen. He notices there is an island just a little ways away from the raft.
You can try to paddle your way over there on the raft or jump in the water and swim. Either way you'll have to roll.

You black out again for a while, your head hurting too much to think straight at all. You don't know for how long you went out cold again, but as you open your eyes once more, you see the face of a very worried looking unicorn looking over you. She seems to have gotten herself some cuts and bruises.
"Hey are you alright!?"
>>100014
You paddle for a while, and with some effort make it close enough to the beach to disembark from your raft and wade your way to a beautiful white-sand beach. You seem to have everything still on you, though your robes are a bit wet.
>>100016
You don't have it on you anymore, that's for sure. You do see several crates lying on the beach you find yourself on… Oh now you remember! You were on a shipwreck during a terrible storm! Looks like you got lucky and survived. Those crates might be from the very same ship you were on.
>>100018
You manage to heal yourself magnificently using some herbs you have on you. You wonder for a moment what kind of plants and herbs you could find in this strange place. You've never seen a jungle in your life before, so it's all new to you.
I'm not sure. Let's go with yes?

>>100028
You still feel pretty lightheaded and you decide to stay on the soft jungle ground for a little while longer
"My name is Bon Voyage. Don't you remember what happened at all?"
The mare is wearing a pretty dirty and torn stewardess outfit
>>100029
There is some soaked food in there but no gear at all.
>>100030
You make your way over to the source of where you think the yelling came from. After a bit of walking and searching, you see the wreckage of what you assume to be a crashed airship in the jungle. There are a couple of ponies running around looking very panicked as well as some others who are crying and seeking comfort with what you assume to be their relatives. There are also several dead bodies of ponies lying around the wreckage.
>>100032
You build a small sand tower.
Doesn't look like this sand is very good for building stuff as it is very fine.

You check another crate by opening it up and sticking your head in it. Turns out it was half destroyed by the waves and a jellyfish somehow ended up in it. You get stung all over your face and the jellyfish sticks to it.
>>100039
Right! You were on a airship travelling back home after your latest adventure! But… you don't remember your home being this… jungle-y
The mare sighs and helps you up
"I worked on the airship remember? I'm a stewardess… and you were hitting on me the moment we set off too. Well we somehow ended up in this jungle after we got wrapped up in a storm and got hit by some serious lightening strikes."
>>100040
You get to work on healing some of the ponies around, starting with a little colt with two of his legs broken. He seems to be alone and is crying pretty badly. The fact that a huge scary buffalo lady approached him makes his crying no better.
>>100046
You find some seashells and dried seaweed, but nothing else very notable. Although you do see some movement further down the beach.

"Oh! Right, now I remember. Surprised I forgot a face as cute as yours."
I pause for a moment as I dust myself off.
"Anyways, do you know where we are? Where the rest of the crew and passe-"
I suddenly look panicked and start looking around for my mandolin. It didn't get damaged, did it?!
Rolled 9 = 9

Nope, they stay firmly stuck to your body, only increasing the pain…
>>100061
… until the one sticking to Dravens face releases itself and somehow manages to leap at the donkey, stinging him in the face as well.
>>100060
The mare rolls her eyes at your comment.
You spot your mandolin lying near a bush nearby, it seems it only got a little dirty by lying on the junglefloor.

I make a dive for it and grab it, then start cradling it in my hooves.
"It's alright… phew."
I get up and strap it to my back, then turn to the mare,
"So anyways, like I was asking, do you know where the hell everyone else is? We can't be the only ones who made it…"
I look around for a few moments, before a devious look crosses my face and I give her a half lidded stare,
"Though… we are all alone here. And that uniform doesn't look at all comfortable… I wouldn't mind helping you out of it."
I try to look and sound as flirtatious as possible.
Rolled 3 = 3

You manage to clean their wounds a bit. You notice there is another pony walking around treating other ponies and you assume he must be a doctor of some sorts. No matter though, the ponies seem a little too intimidated by the sight of you as well as traumatized by what happened to answer your questions.
>>100071
The jellyfish immediately releases its grip on your face and drops back onto the sand obediently.
>>100073
You swing your hind leg with enough force to catapult the jellyfish far into the sea stretching before you. That takes care of that.
>>100074
You don't manage very well. Your head is still a mess and you slur your words a little bit. The mare seems not impressed and cocks an eyebrow at you lazily.
"Really? In case you hadn't noticed, we're in the middle of a freakin' jungle right now, lady."
She turns around and starts trotting away
"Come on, follow me back to the airship!"

You open up another crate, this one filled with bottles of red wine. Most of them are broken but there are a few left which are unscathed.
>>100081
You throw the jellyfish back into the sea
>>100082
You talk to a dead stallion missing the lower part of his body.
"I-I don't know! I was lying in bed taking a nap when our ship suddenly took a dive! Soon after everything went black…"
>>100079
"A true pleasure."
After a small walk, the two of you hit upon a buffalo talking to… half a pony lying in the jungle. Bon Voyage's eyes widen significantly upon seeing this sight.
"Wh-Who are you!? You weren't aboard the ship!"
>>100085
You find a box full of bear traps. One of them shuts on one of your hoofs.

You find a compass lying in the sand
Strangely the pointer is spinning around madly no matter how you hold it.
>>100089
"Are you a necro- you know what, no matter. We don't know where we are. We got caught in a storm and somehow crashed in a jungle… we weren't even supposed to be flying above a jungle!"
>>100090
You get another one of your hooves stuck into a bear trap
Owch!

"You don't freakin' say…"
Everything feels so… foreign around you. And it feels wrong too. As if the plants are under magical influence of sorts. It's making you feel a little uncomfortable.
>>100102
You find some pretty rare seashells!
>>100103
You fail to get rid of the beartraps and instead fall onto the sand again

You finally manage to find back your greataxe as well as your hooked chain in the last crate. No armor though, maybe it sunk with the ship.
>>100111
There is jungle all around you. You see the sea in the distance as well as the beach around the island. Between the sea and you, you spot a column of black smoke rising from the top of a small hill.
>>100112
"Seems like normal plants and trees to me."
>>100114
Nope, they just don't want to let go of you.

You two head inland, walking through the jungle for a while until you hit upon a small hill. The hill is completely cleared out off trees and plants and there is a small stone hut on top of it. That's where the smoke seems to be coming from.
>>100143
She shrugs
"Alri-"
>>100145
"Oh Celestia… aren't you a damn charmer."
Bon Voyage joins the two of you on your endeavors.
YOU ARE ALSO JOINED BY ZULU THE ZEBRA AND POMELO THE GOAT, WHO WERE ALSO ABOARD THE AIRSHIP.
The five of you start making your way towards where the smoke column is coming from and reach the hill soon after. There is a stone hut perched on top of it as well as a small garden filled with various plants.

"We were on an airship and it crashed. You don't remember that? You alright man?"
I give him a look of concern.
>>100195
"Nice to meet you. I'm Melody Maker, one of the finest bards in all the land and political activist, dedicated to fighting corruption and oppression wherever it may be found!"
>>100193
I give him a stink eye.

The diamond dog visibly calms down at hearing this
"Stranded, eh? Ye seem mighty unseaworthy, but I've seen landrats tread on the seven seas before."
He motions to the area around him
"This, lads, is Kandoo island. A cursed hellhole for doomed seafarers so as meself."
>>100206
The dog shakes your hoof forcibly

The captain flashes you a toothy grin
Not that he has many teeth left, but anyway
"I can see ye haven't been around fer long then…"
>>100212
The dog starts motioning around wildly as if to try and make his words sound more impressive
"ME SHIP AND ME CREW ARE LONG GONE AND DEAD! LOST IN A TERRIBLE STORM! I STRANDED HERE 20 YEARS AGO LAD! 20 YEARS!"
>>100216
"HAH! THERE BE NO PORTS TA BE FOUND ON THIS WRETCHED ISLAND MATEY! NO SHIPS, NO WENCHES AND NO BOOZE! T'IS A CURSED PLACE I TELLS YA!"
>>100213
>>100214
"CURSED! CURSED BY VILE MAGIC! And by whom…"
Thorn glowers for a moment as if he is recalling something

"No booze? Guess again!"
I show him a bottle of wine I got from the crate.
"Draven has it all! Now then, tell me how to get away from here if there are no ships!"
>>100223
"A dyke, I see! It's a shame, but the lesbian illnes can be cured by a good, healthy dose of the dick!"
>>100221
"Me? Phoney? Haha, stripey, do you even know who you are talking to?"

>>100228
"YES!"
He quickly grabs the bottle and takes a large swig from it, smiling like somepony who just discovered the meaning of life.
>>100231
"T'AIN'T THAT SIMPLE!"
He calms down a little, lowering the bottle from his lips
"If it were, I'd have left this wicked place already…"
>>100232
"Yes, that craven seacow has himself a floatin' palace!"
He points towards the layer of clouds above
"IT'S UP THERE SOMEWHERE! BUT YE CAN ONLY REACH IT USIN' THE RAINBOW SHIP!"
He takes another swig of wine
"I AIN'T CRAZY!"
>>100233
"HE'S INSANE GOAT! INSANE! HE'LL NEVER LET YA GO! HE'LL JUST GET RID OF YA!"
"YES!"

"Ya can only find it using the rainbow stone… but before ye get to that, ya need ta prepare if ya want to take on Caesar."
>>100250
The dog tosses you some bananas to eat
>>100254
"YA NEED TA PREPARE FIRST!"
The dog vanishes inside his hut and you hear a lot of noise coming from the inside, as if someone is looking for something.

"I am comfortable with the size of my body, but your loose tongue and loud voice causes me to wonder if you are comfortable with your size."
>>100262
"It is fine to relax and enjoy what nature provides, but I have the feeling that we should keep clear heads until we are off this island."
>>100266
I wait for him to reappear.

After a few moments, the dog reappears with a large dusty old book in his paws.
"Caesar's palace is protected by his scurvy guards. They be tougher than cockroaches they are. Ye'll need armor and enchantments to beat dem!"
He looks the party over for a moment
"So what say ye? Search da necessities to enchant yer weapons first or gather da components ta make ye sum worthy armor?"
>>100269
"NO MORE HANDOUTS YE LANDRAT!"

I chuckle.
"You ponies may be dispassionate in certain aspects, but you cannot match even a below average bull. This is an improper time and place to speak of such things, however. We must concentrate on finding a way off this island."
>>100272
"My tomahawk is fine. Where can we find components for armor?"
I chuckle.

>>100290
He shakes his fist at you
"I'VE GIVEN YE ENOUGH BANANAS GOATEY!"
The dog opens up his book and starts flipping pages.
"Yer in luck, I got most of de ingredients handy… but I'm short on three."

>>100304
He scratched his chin for a moment.
"Da blood of a Seamare should be da easiest… and da least dangerous if ya don't make 'em angry!"
He points at the sea.
"Wait till nightfall… and light a big fire on the beach. Seamares are attracted ta light!"
He thinks for a moment

He scratched his chin for a moment.
"Da blood of a Seamare should be da easiest… and da least dangerous if ya don't make 'em angry!"
He points at the sea.
"Wait till nightfall… and light a big fire on the beach. Seamares are attracted ta light!"
He thinks for a moment
"An' singing or just regular ol' music! Dat too!"
The party leaves Thorn and his hut behind them, setting off towards the beach. After a short hike, they arrive back where Dun and Draven were playing around earlier. Evening has begun to set in and the clouds are breaking up a little.
"So, how are we gonna do this again? Make a little bonfire and sing some songs and hope for the best?"

Sand makes for a good firemaker right?
Oh wait it doesn't. You're an idiot.
>>100333
You keep your primal desires in check. You do start sweating a little bit.
>>100334
The mare rolls her eyes at your wooing
"Oh come on…"
>>100337
She gives a weird look, but doesn't comment any further
>>100335
The crates seem to be way to soaked to be used as effective firewood
The rest of the crates have nothing noteworthy in them.

You do a masterful job at healing Melody, completely mending her wounds and even making her feel less tired after a long day on this island.
>>100353
Rejuvenated, you get back on your hooves as good as new!
>>100351
You see that your healing is completely outclassed by the goat and decide to keep your herbs to yourself this time
>>100354
You try to make Pejula feel better about this by smacking her on the ass, producing a lewd and loud slapping sound that can be heard in the wide area.
>>100356
You trip over a pile of dirt and fall facefirst onto the junglefloor

You give your mandolin a powerful swing, aiming for the skeleton and… it just goes through as if the skeleton isn't even standing there.
>>100362
You bash your staff on the head of the skeleton, making him lose a few of his bones as he stumbles for a moment
>>100364
And you finish it off by inflicting a powerful blow on its ribcage
The skeletons falls apart, the bones and the pistol falling onto the ground.

It's a pretty nice looking but worn out pistol. It's still functional but in pretty bad condition. You found a small ammo pouch on the skeleton with bullets for it.
The pistol has a -2 modifier because of its bad state. You can try to fix it yourself (DC9) and risk completely breaking it or find someone else who can do it for you.
>>100373
The skeleton remains silent, it is beyond salvaging.

She shrugs and starts putting some of the wood together in a small pile. As an extra precaution she levitates some nearby rocks over to form a circle around the pile of wood. Finally, she lights up her horn and launches a very bright flare at the woodpile, setting it on fire.
"There, it's Hearths warming eve all over again."

>>100486
You don't even get why the others are falling asleep, this does nothing to you whatsoever.
You can see two of the seamares who are close enough to the fire to light up their faces. They are singing with their eyes closed and softly rocking left to right, completely lost in the music.

What I'm worried about is the lack of protection: 4 of you are unarmored and 1 has light leather armor. That's it. Now you'll get the chance to grab some ironbark armor or clothing later on, so that might help a lot.

Bon Voyage groans and facehoofs loudly, after which she takes out a hoof file with a pointy end and tosses it over to Pomelo.

You fill up the vial pretty quickly with the seamare's blood, putting a cork on it once its filled up to make sure you don't spill it anywhere. Once you do this, you heal the wound shut again pretty quickly. The mare inspects it, seemingly dumbstruck at the impressive feat of magic foreign to her.

The party makes their way back to the crash site.

The bodies seem to have all been cleared out from the area and the pony keeping watch informs you that a total of 11 ponies survived.

Despite several attempts by Melody to ruin everything the party still managed to convince one of the mares to give up some blood without having to resort to violence. They also learned the seamares were hunted on for their blood by what they described as glittery creatures with shiny things sticking out of them. After these events, the party spent the night at the crashed airship and informed the ponies they were looking for a way to get off of the island. When morning came, the party decided to get high on smoothies and set off to cap'n Thorns hut. As they approached the hill where Thorns hut is perched on, they heard the sound of several explosions going off.

The party charges their way through the forest and uphill with a surprising amount of speed. As they arrive at the top slightly winded they see Thorn standing outside his hut making wild gestures at seemingly nothing while yelling all sorts of creative profanities. His coat seems slightly charred and so does the ground near his hut.

He jumps up in surprise and turns around to face you.
"ARRRRR MATEY! YA SNUCK UP ON ME! I was trying ta make gunpowder charges ta help ye in battle! But I messed up me recipe! No botha, did yer search turn out well?"

You try to inspect the area but Pejula's huge ass blocks your entire view

Thorn quickly grasps it as you hoof it over and eyes it carefully for a moment whilst mumbling for a moment to himself, after which he puts the vial carefully away
"Good, good… that's one down!"
>>121100
>>121101
>>121102
"Ta improve the enchantment ye'll need some Ursa Major fur, the tongue of a dragon and some Quarray Eel skin! Each ingredient ye add will make da enchantment more potent!"

"THIS AIN'T NO TEDDY BEAR GOATEY! WE'RE TALKING URSA MAJOR HERE! Dat beast is dangerous! Huge! It lives in da Star Cave up north!"

"Of course, give me a moment!"
Thorn takes your tomahawk and takes it over to a workbench, where he starts doing his best to repair the weapon.
>>121131
"Quarray Eels are burrowing snakes matey, landsnakes! Dey dig tunnels underground. Da best place ta find them on da surface is on mountainous terrain."
The diamond dog points at a couple of mountains in the distance.
"Ye'll see their holes in dem mountains where dey surface!"
You still have that broken ornate pistol on you by the way

"Ursa Major! Not a normal bear ya double horned swab!"

The group sets off, heading towards the mountainous area they saw in the distance. The forest is harder to move through than anticipated however, which slows the party down considerably. By the time evening rolls by, the party notices there are less and less trees and more and more rocks and boulders in the area they are walking through. Soon after, things start getting mountainous and steeper. Fortunately, the party is lucky and they soon hit on a large cliff towering up in front of them. They can see several large holes dug in the rocky wall. Some of the holes are quite up high, while others are near the ground. The area is very quiet however, no signs of danger can be seen or heard at the moment.

As hard as overlooking a giant snake monster would be, you don't see any of them around here. They must be underground.
>>121214
You carefully fly up to one of the holes in the cliff up ahead and peak inside. You can only see darkness.

You briefly remember the tactic of using noise and/or smoke to drive wild animals out of their holes.

Your squeaky ball, as amazing as it may be, does not squeak loud enough at all to make any difference

You accidentally drop your mandolin from the air onto the ground

You decide to save up on using torches by lighting your mane on fire and then jumping inside one of the holes on ground level
Wait that's a terrible idea!

You fail to reach your mandolin in time. Even Bon Voyage fails to grasp it with her telekinesis before it hits the ground with a loud smack.
Luckily for you it is an ethereal weapon and can thus withstand a beating. There isn't any damage to the instrument but it does seem a little out of tune.

With combined efforts, you manage to extinguish the fire before it does some serious damage. Mwandishi's mane is pretty charred though, but nothing permanent.
Bon Voyage can't help but crack a small smile, which she fails to hide despite her efforts
>>121225
Looks like the fire is under control now. Both of them are standing at the entrance of one of the holes right now.
>>121230
You start smashing two rocks together and while it causes some racket, it's probably not enough to draw attention. You're going to need more noise than that. Possibly some smoke too. Maybe even walk inside one of the holes a bit and make noise while doing so.

The mare is unable to hold her laughter any longer and burst out into a giggling fit, dropping onto her back in the process
You must be the ugliest thing to walk this earth! You suddenly feel a lot less confident about yourself and your appearance.
>>121240
>>121243
The two of you gather enough wood to make a pretty big fire and pile it together at one of the entrances of the holes. Bon Voyage lights it on fire using her magic again.
>>121241
You trip and fall facefirst into the ground, hurting your poor nose.

Bon has stopped laughing in the meantime and approaches you looking concerned
"Hey, I'm sorry… I didn't think you'd take it this badly. I shouldn't have laughed at you like that."
>>121252
"I know, I know, I'm sorry. That was just downright mean of me."

You might make the area smell like herbs. Or make the entire party high in a very dangerous area.

As the rumbling becomes louder and louder the party starts looking for safe spots. Suddenly a large head pokes out of one of the holes and looks around. Its head alone is bigger than Pejula's entire body. It lets out a screech as it spots the party and lunges at them, a large part of its scaly body also revealing.
Everyone roll.
Everyone roll.

Melody boldly charges in instead, swinging her mandolin with all her might at the creature's head. The mandolin passes through, though Melody can feel some resistance. The creature screeches in pain and before it can lash out at her she has already flown up a little to keep out of range.
>>121278
You deftly jump out of the beasts' way thanks to your goatish agility and remain unharmed.
>>121280
You barely manage to dodge the creature as it tries to bite you with its huge fangs. You try to get some skin off with your tomahawk but fail to cut any off after your dodge attempt.
>>121276
>>121281
The two of you are smashed aside by the creature's massive head and are sent skidding over the rocky ground.
Bon Voyage runs away and hides behind a tree, the mare obviously not keen on battling.

You scramble back onto your hooves and aim your pistol but are forced to jump aside as the creature sends a large rock crashing your way.
>>121293
You lower your head and start a glorious charge like a knight charging into battle. Unfortunately, your horns are so small that the Quarray Eel doesn't even notice the poke you gave him.
>>121295
You hit it on the snout with your tomahawk as it lunges at you, causing it to recoil back. Before it can counterattack however Dun >>121296 draws its attention enough for it to lunge at him instead. The creature opens its large maw and tries to bite down on the unfortunate donkey. Instead, it pins Dun down inside its maw. The beast is now trying to swallow Dun whole.
>>121298
Your terribly out of tune song fails to inspire either parties

The creature smashes you in the side using its head. Despite your size, the blow still sends you flying and crashing into the cliffside. You are really dazed by the blow and suffer -2 to all your actions until the end of battle.
>>121304
You boop it on the nose using your staff. It then headbutts you back in return and sends you flying a few meters backwards
You are slightly dazed and suffer -2 to your next action

You swing your mandolin and hit the beast on its head, making it wince slightly
>>121307
You completely miss your shot. It hits the cliff instead and ricochets into the ground.
>>121310
You cause the creature to gag slightly as you light up some herbs. After a few moments it throws up, covering you in snake puke. At least it has stopped trying to swallow you.

You could try and cut some of its skin from this favorable position. Or just keep killing the beast and collect some skin afterwards.

The both of you charge in and start battering the creature on the head. It starts bleeding and screeching loudly in pain allowing Dun >>121326 to hop out, the herbs still in the snake's maw.

You sneak up on the creature from behind, intend on getting some of its skin. Instead, you are caught by its trashing body and thrown away, crashing into the ground pretty hard. Your nose is bleeding heavily and you are pretty dazed
-2 to all actions for the rest of combat.
>>121332
Your charge once again has no real effect as the beast ignores you
>>121334
You play the tune of a very famous song that preaches about the inferiority of non-unicorn races.
It's a little unsettling
-2 to partyactions next turn
>>121338
The beast noticeably calms down as the effects of the herbs set in. It still appears hostile, but less so.
>>121330
You keep hitting it on the hit with your tomahawk, creating larger and larger cuts where more and more blood starts streaming out of.

Last time on Kandoo quest the party set out to gather the second component for the special weapon enchantment, namely the skin of a quarray eel. After a bit of noisemaking and setting up a small fire, a single eel appeared out of one of the caves to see what all the racket was about. The party fought the eel, some more successful than others, and have now weakened it to the point that the beast is barely able to counterattack. The party could try and cut off some skin and keep the beast alive. Or you can just kill it and collect the skin once it's dead.

You stumble around a bit, dazed by the continuous blows from the giant snake as well as blood loss
>>121347
His nose stops bleeding…
>>121349
Only to start pouring blood out again for some reason. Mwandishi falls on the ground unconscious. It seems like Natural Remedy has the opposite effect on the zebra now, hurting him rather than healing him.
Mwandishi can either be waken up or wake up himself. He needs healing as quick as possible though.
>>121351
Using your mandolin as a makeshift club, you slam it onto the head of the landsnake. The ethereal mandolin passes through, the creature roaring in pain as his eyes go cross for some reason.
>>121351
You decide not to use that on Mwandishi given the recent events.

Well you stop the severe bleeding. He's still unconscious though and will probably be pretty groggy once he wakes up.
>>130681
You are too distracted by Mwandishi's condition and your involvement in causing it.
>>130689
You hit the snake a few times with your staff, but the skin wont come loose. Looks like you'll need a sharp object to cut it. Maybe even a sharp rock would do the trick.
The quarray eel is rocking back and forth, the herbs having confused it to the point where it is oblivious to its surroundings.
Bon Voyage peeks from behind her hiding spot and throws a few small rocks at the landsnake, which doesn't seem to care or notice.

You charge at the eel and slash your tomahawk at its underbelly, cutting loose some of its soft skin.
>>130693
Both your little horns light up with a bright flash and Mwandishi is surrounded by a pink aura. He immediately feels rejuvenated. All the pain and haziness has left his body and he even feels a little happier than before.

The good captain seems to have gone off to go do some fishing. There is a crudely drawn map on the back of the paper which shows you the location of the Star Cave (Ursa Major lair), the Magma falls (Dragon hangout) and a location in the middle of the forest marked as Demonwood (Here be armor).
The book Thorn read from earlier is lying on the table inside the hut, in case the party requires instructions. Or you could just go hunt the dog down.
