The city and ponies of Lübuck have seen better times; having suffered from a recent outbreak of the plague, many ponies have died and the city’s population has diminished to barely half of its former size. The city’s mayor, Statthalter Krell, has suffered during these times just as much as his people have, having lost his wife as well as all but one of his children. Now by a cruel turn of fate, his daughter Lena has gone missing mysteriously as well. Desperate to find the only member of his family left alive, Krell has gathered a group of adventurers, sellswords and warriors at his mansion just outside the city. You find yourself sitting in what seems to be the tearoom of the mansion. The weather outside is rather dark and dreary and you are content to be inside this warm and rather luxurious estate. Your origin, motive and relationships with the rest of this group is up to you.
A maid walks into the room carrying a silver tray filled with cups and a teapot, setting it on the table.
“Gutenmorgen esteemed guests, please help yourself to a cup of tea! Herr Krell vill be here shortly.”
After lighting the fireplace she turns and leaves again, leaving you once more alone in the room.

You pour yourself a cup of tea. Smells like rose hip tea… how lovely!
>>146458
Your prayers aren't met by any form of change in weather. Looks like the Sun doesn't want to bother breaking through the gray and murky layer of clouds today.
>>146473
Quite luxurious indeed. You notice several paintings hanging from the wall depicting various different ponies and even a diamond dog. Warm light fills the room thanks to the fireplace, putting on a great contrast with the depressingly cold weather outside. It all feels quite homely and cozy.

Just as the group starts to wonder why the lord is taking so long a stallion walks into the room. He appears to be middle-aged and looks very tired, depressed even. He isn't even wearing any expensive looking clothing, instead opting for going about unclothed. Not that this is strange at all, you are ponies after all.
"Guten morgen herren adventurers… My name is Krell, ze mayor of this fair city."

He looks each one of you over and nods sagely.
"You no doubt know vhy I have requested your aid?"
He sighs, turning to motion at one of the paintings of the wall. The painting depicts a filly dressed in a frilly dress, not looking particularly pleased with her garment.
"Mein Tochter, Lena. this was made just last year when…"
The stallion tears up, averting his gaze to the ground.

He swallows, then sighing deeply as he turns around to face you again.
"I vill be honest when I say that I have no idea vhere she could have gone. She has never been quite ze same after her mother and siblings died…"
He frowns, as if he recalls something
"Especially ze last week before she disappeared… She became very defensive and sequestered for some reason."

He nods silently, motioning you to follow him as he leaves the room and heads upstairs, walking through the hallway before stopping at one of the doors and opening it up.
"Go ahead, take your time. I haven't touched anything myself."
The room has a large bed, a small wooden desk with a couple of paper and books on it, several chairs, several paintings and a large oak closet.

A dictionary lies open next to a sheet of untouched paper. Aside from that there are a few books with various fairy tales in them as well as a book tagged as diary with a small bronze lock on it.
>>146549
You find nothing that Uriah didn't find.
>>146545
You find a book on herbcraft hidden between two small boxes filled with toys. You briefly wonder why a filly would need a book on herbs and potions.

"I don't know… like I said, I don't dare look into her writings."
There are no other diaries. You realize she may have took her newer diary with her, or just stopped writing in diaries alltogether.
>>146587
Today was a weird day. Mom and I went to the city to visit my auntie and drink tea. We had to wear weird masks because ponies are getting sick and are dying which is really sad. Herta says ponies are getting sick because of zebras but I don't know if that's true. I played with a colt and another filly I've never seen before while mommy and auntie were talking. It was nice.
>>146586
You find everything that is to be expected in a filly's closet. Including pretty dresses and gowns.

Stop trying to put on that little dress.
You are clearly too big to fit, you weirdo.
"I suppose she could… but wy would she just disappear like that? It's been five days now…"
>>146604
"It's the first time I even heard about those two kids, must have been two random street urchins or something. Her… my wife got sick shortly after the date of that entry… then her brother… then her sister."
The stallion goes quiet for a moment as he recalls everything.
"Maybe… maybe you could go to her school… talk to other fillies and colts that she talked to."

The party leaves the mansion behind and walks down the paved pathway running down the hill where the mansion is perched on. It's drizzling slightly outside as the party enters the city. The streets are rather empty, and not just because of the murky weather. The city has a bit of a gloomy atmosphere surrounding it, it's almost unsettling to you.
The party can see the school building at the end of the street and passes by what you assume to be a tavern, one of the few places you've seen so far where laughing and singing can be heard.

You peek through the windows and manage to sneak a peek at one of the waitresses. She has a very nicely shaped butt, that's for damn sure. But to all nice things must come an end and you quickly rejoin your comrades as they head towards the school.
>>146656
>>146659
You press on and soon reach the large wooden doors of the former church. After pulling and ringing the bell outside a smaller door inside the door opens and a old stallion peeks out.
"Ja?"

I cocks an eyebrow
"Lena?"
>>146674
"Oh, of course. Ze mayors daughter. Come in meine freunde."
The stallion steps aside and motions you to come in.
>>146678
Looks like they are all in class right at the moment. The stallion seems to be alone in this part of the building.
He closes the wooden door behind you and motions you to follow as he starts walking down a hallway.
"I vill bring you to her classroom, zey are in ze middle of a class but you may interrupt to ask some questions."

The long hallway is dimly lit by the occasional chandelier and candles. There are paintings on the wall here too with names under them.
>>146683
After a bit of walking, the stallion stops and knocks on one of the doors. A muffled response can be heard from inside and the stallion opens up, walking in. The classroom is quite big, especially for what seems to be such a small group of students. You notice quite a few spots are unoccupied… The stallion quickly speaks up.
"Guten mittag Helena, diese Personen haben ein paar Dinge zu fragen. Ummm, sie sprechen keine Deutsch."
The teacher, a earth pony mare wearing thick glasses turns to you.
"Guten Tag? Is there a problem?"
The colts and fillies eye you with curiousity.

Some whispers and murmuring can be heard among the students as the teacher nods absentmindedly.
"Ah… ja, natürlich. Edelweis, could you come forward bitte?"
One of the fillies gets up from her chair and shyly walks to the front of the class, not taking her eyes from the floor at any point.
The teacher motions you to do whatever business you have outside the class.

Overconfident in your coolness, you run full speed towards the nearest window but trip and hit a closet next to it instead. The closet falls over with a loud crash, the contents scattered all over the floor now. In the entire hallway, heads of teachers pop out of their classrooms to see what the noise is about.

She seems a little bewildered at all of this but seems content with it nonetheless.

"Sorry to interrupt, But I really did to ask you something.." I look him in eyes "Is there anywhere that the foals like to play, like a cliff, or a cave. Somewhere one of them might go missing while pretending to be 'adventuring'? Its really important that you help me, for the good of everyone."
using word of power on him..
Rolled 2 + 2 = 4
