Having left Trotheim, the party is aboard a trading ship called "Siren's Luck". It's not a large vessel, but it's one of the few that still shuttles between Trotheim and the local ports.
The sun is just about to set, and you can smell the salty seawater in your nostrils.
There are even a few sun chairs on deck.
The captain, a burly and honest fellow, is pacing around on the upper deck, talking with the helmsman.
Most of the crew is currently down below, gambling and drinking.
Report in.

The captain speaks from the upper deck.
"We're dropping you all off at New Hoofen. We'll be there by sunrise."
>>224791
The captain is speaking quickly and in whispers with the helmsman. The first mate seems to be drunk below decks.
The crew is mostly either doing their duty or singing Fifteen Men.
A monkey is playing a flute.

A surly looken sailor immediately starts scrubbing the deck clean, causing you to trip over your own hooves when trying to dance.

Burn the whole ship and I will grant you my favours

The first mate seems to have made it up to the deck, though he's barely conscious at this point.
He wraps his hoof around your neck and tries to give you a smile.

The lookout suddenly screams: "SHIP AHOY!"
The captain almost jumps overboard.

You enter the waiting room. It's rather dark with heavy red drapes covering the windows.
A pony is sitting behind a desk there.
"Survivors? My condolences for what happened, we've never had pirates before. The mayor is in the next room. He should be free to meet."
The secretary points at large double doors in front of you.

The stallion staring into nothingness is clearly old. He has a stubble and from the smell you can deduce he doesn't particularly care for personal hygiene.
He's wearing a gaudy outfit with the city's seal on it to signify his position.
On his face is a similar glassed look as the town greeter's.
He speaks in a raspy voice.
"Hello. How may I help you?"

He hoofs you a scrambled note. You're not sure anypony could ever read it, save for the signature.

It is full of smoke.
The smith is running around inside.
"IS THERE SOMEONE THERE?! OPEN THE DAMN WINDOW!"
>>226725
His ear flicks with the airflow but otherwise he still doesn't react to you.

You take the note he just wrote.

You're surprised to find the secretary is no longer on her seat.
You can't see her as a matter of fact.

You run and hit the front door to the mayor's office. It's locked tight.
The rest of the party is in the room too, as the doors to the mayor's room swing shut too.
You're trapped in the waiting room with the drapes.
>>226747
Well, except for you. You open the window and after a while the smoke clears out, revealing a rather black, bearded earth pony stallion.
"Goshdarnhayseed!"
He throws a pair of tongs to the ground.
"Thank yah, stranger. How may I help ya'll?"

You remember the greeter telling the others to visit the mayor.

you manage to jab at the pony jumping over you, but all you hit is his black robe.
>>242225
You get ready (+1 to your next action) as you see four black-robed ponies jump out from behind the curtains.
They are all holding wicked daggers and one, larger than the others has a crooked smile on his face.
At least you think that's his face, it reminds you of those rubber masks fillies wear on Nightmare night.

He's a misunderstood orphan who just wants a hug. You are 100% sure of that. Must be why he sunk his dagger into your chest.

"Ooh, lookie, the big one can make a noise!"
One of the ponies throws a black sphere on the ground that explodes in a black cloud of smoke.
"I can make some too!"

You rush the nearest one, and stab him in the leg.

You shove him against a wall and then jump him, causing the both of you to fly through a window and into the streets, sending some rather scared townsfolk running.

You push him away from you, though he comes right back with his dagger.
