It's the middle of summer and the Sun shines bright in the sky. Beneath you, you can see fields of grain, small vegetable gardens and the occasional farmstead.

These are the vast fields of the Unicorn Range. You're nearly home. You're flying on Indy. He's not as big anymore as he used to be, but still big enough to carry you and Iris behind you.
"I'm so excited to meet your family Soil." says Iris.

 No.605428

>>605424
Smile as we soar through the sky,raising my head to look behind me, at Iris.
"It's gonna be fun."
Smile at her, without saying much else.

 No.605429

>>605428
Indy speaks up.
"Pa, if you are my Pa, does that mean your Pa is my Grandpa?"

 No.605430

>>605429
"Well look at you, figuring it all out already!"
Pat him on the head from above, and give the ground beneath us one more look.

 No.605432

>>605430
You see the small circle of black stones you visited as a kid.
Your home must not be far.
There it is!

 No.605433

>>605432
Call up Indy's attention with a few pats behind the ear.
"Settle down over there!"
Point somewhere nearby the house, but not covered by farmland.

 No.605437

>>605433
Indy swoops down to a nearby field.
The farm looks better than you remembered.
The old hole in the barn wall that used to be covered up by planks is repaired and there's a few earth ponies you never saw before working in the fields.
Iris drops off as well.
On the porch you see an old stallion with white hairs waving at you.

 No.605440

>>605437
Maybe I've got the wrong farm…
"It's all so much shinier in here!
Iris, come!"
Take her by a hoof and rush for the porch!

 No.605444

>>605440
It is your Pa definitely.
His hair is whiter than you remember and he seems a bit more frail but his eyes are bright as ever.
He has a smile on his lips as you run over with Iris in tow.
"Welcome home, son."

 No.605447

>>605444
Let go of Iris' hoof and drop my gear onto the ground, reaching forward with as much excitement and glee as before, moving into a strong hug with him.
"Ahah!
It's been too long! Too damn long!"

 No.605449

>>605447
"It is, it is. My word, is it just my eyes deceiving me or did you grow even taller than I remember?"

 No.605450

>>605449
"Nah, it's you who are shorter!"
Smirk and let go of the hug, sidestepping to show the guests coming with me.
"Pa, this is Iris."

 No.605453

>>605450
Iris puts on her best smile. "Hello, pleasure to meet you, mister Soil."
"Call me Brick. Welcome to our humble farm, Iris."
He looks to Indy.
"And you must be Indy. You're a bit smaller than I expected."
Indy looks down. "You too, I thought you'd be even bigger than Pa, since you're the Pa of Pa., Grandpa."
Pa laughs.

 No.605454

>>605453
"He started shrinking after the whole exploding thing.
Oh I gotta tell you and Ma' all ab-"
Gasp and turn my attention to the inside of the farm.
"I gotta go tell Ma I'm back!"
Rush in!

 No.605455

>>605454
As you go in, you smell sweet carrot pie baking in the oven and lettuce stew.
"Honey, has Poor arrived yet?" she shouts from the kitchen

 No.605460

>>605455
"COMING THROUGH!"
Snowball through the kitchen, big wide smile on my face as I reach for Ma and squeeze her tight.
"Gotcha!"

 No.605463

>>605460
"WHOA!"
Old Ma seems overwhelmed as you grab her but then hugs you teary-eyed. "Poor, you're back, finally!"

 No.605466

>>605463
"I did it ma'! I became a hero!"

 No.605467

>>605463
Swing her around the kitchen in joy as if she weighted nothing.

 No.605473

>>605466
>>605467

"You always were! Ah, watch out, Poor, the pans!"

 No.605474

>>605473
Settle her down with a spin and drag her outside in a hurry!
"You have to meet them! Iris and Indy too!"

 No.605479

>>605474
She and Pa just came in!
Indy is outside, stretching his wings after such a long flight.

 No.605480

>>605479
"You two gotta tell me it all about the farm! What happened while I was gone?!"

 No.605486

>>605480
(Let's leave that question for just a second?)
Ma walks to Iris. "Oh goodness aren't you lovely. I'm so happy to finally meet you." Iris gives her a hug. "It's great to be here!" responds Iris.
Ma looks out to Indy. "Oh dear…I'll need to make more stew…"

 No.605487

>>605486
(I misunderstood the reply to my previous post, by all means)
"He kinda eats a lot."
Grin at ma'.

 No.605491

>>605487
Iris jumps up. "I'll help you!" "Thanks, dear, let's go to the kitchen." And there go Ma and Iris, chatting.
Pa grins. "I think they'll get along well. Good job, son."

 No.605492

>>605491
Look at pa' confused.
"Uh? I'm not the one cooking!"

 No.605494

>>605492
"I mean the pretty lady you brought back home. You sure know how to pick em!"

 No.605496

>>605494
"She's just perfect, pa'."
Smile and seat down somewhere.
"Showed me things you'd not imagine."

 No.605501

>>605496
You notice it's a new chair, dad sits on his old chair, but even that has been repaired.
"I believe that." he chuckles again.
"She seems like a nice mare. Hold on to that one, son. Nice mares are far and few between these days."

 No.605502

>>605501
"But I've met lots of nice mares!
Amber, and Mabel… Well, maybe not Vilina, but she became nice!
Oh, and Celestia and Luna and Cadence were nice too!"

 No.605504

>>605501
"But yeah, I'd never exchange Iris for any of them…"
Look at the chairs with a tiny smile, giving the one I'm sitting on a solid shake.

 No.605505

>>605502
"My, you've seen the Princesses?" he seems astonished.

 No.605506

>>605505
"They were okay."
Answer unfazed, as if it was no big.

 No.605509

>>605506
"My, my. I never would have imagined. My son meeting the Princesses…"

 No.605511

>>605509
"They didn't say they were sorry for the farm!"
Frown, angrily.

 No.605516

>>605511
"Hmmm? Oh, well that's princessfolk for you. Probably too busy with parties. Luckily we have you. Thank you, son, the money you sent has been a great help for us. We can manage from now on."

 No.605518

>>605516
Perk up my ears!
"You can?
That's amazing! Did all the repairs come from that money?"

 No.605541

>>605518
He nods.
"And last years harvest. I have enough money now to hire some ponies to help me out with the harvest, and this years looking even better than last years."

 No.605558

>>605541
Stare wide eyed at him!
"It's amazing!
I want to see the whole farm!"

 No.605560

>>605558
He looks to the kitchen.
"I think we still have some time before the mares are done.
Let's go for a walk."

 No.605562

>>605560
Beat him to the door with a happy trot.
"Pa is gonna show us around the farm, Indy!"

 No.605566

>>605562
He glides over.
Pa walks over. "My…perhaps we could…fly on Indy?"

 No.605574

>>605566
Smirk.
"I was hoping you'd ask!
Hey kid, up for it?"

 No.605575

>>605574
He nods and quickly crouches down to let you both up.
Pa has some trouble but manages to get up. "No worries, I'm fine."

 No.605576

>>605575
"Then you better hold on tight.
Like the saddle? Gift from the equestrian military."
Grin and hold on myself.
"Ready whenever you are, Indy!"

 No.605581

>>605576
Indy flies up and soon you're circling above the farm.
Pa looks down. "So this is how those pegasi see the farm. Amazing."

 No.605586

>>605581
"Pegasi are not quite this strong, though."
Lean forwards, talking to Indy.
"Look there! That's the field where I slammed the first bad guy!"

 No.605588

>>605586
"Was he big?" asks Indy

 No.605590

>>605588
"As big as the sky! And he had this large straw hat and tattered clothes!"

 No.605592

>>605590
Gasp.
He might be back!

 No.605594

>>605592
!!
"IS THAT HIM?!" yell in disbelief, looking down onto the field.

 No.605599

>>605594
Pa puts a hoof on your shoulder.
"Yes…I uh hired him to watch over the fields. He learned his lesson Soil. Everypony deserves a new chance"
Pa has long since given up to explain the concept of a scarecrow

 No.605604

>>605599
This is the hero equestria deserves.
Give my mortal enemy a deadly glare.
"He better…
So, what else is new around here, pa?
Point us to it!"

 No.605608

>>605604
"You saw the hole in the barn got fixed? And we have few new fields of corn over there." He points them out. Those new fields are where the Flower farm used to be.

 No.605610

>>605608
Gulp alarmed.
"Wait, what of the flowers now?"

 No.605618

>>605610
"Ah…" Pa frowns. "About six months ago Grim, you remember the dad of Field, died. Sad story, he was out in the field when a timbrewolf attacked him. We managed to chase the wolf off but by then it was too late.
Field and her mother sold the farm and went away…"

 No.605624

>>605618
Gasp.
"What!? why didn't you tell me sooner!"

 No.605628

>>605624
"I'm sorry, son. So many things went through my mind when you came, I didn't think of it…"

 No.605630

>>605628
"…You know where they went?"

 No.605636

>>605630
"I believe they said they were going to family living near Neighara Falls."

 No.605641

>>605636
"That's gonna be my next stop…
Indy, land there."
Point at the field where the Flowers' farm once was.

 No.605644

>>605641
The farm itself is still standing here, abandoned.
Indy lands near it, as to not trample the corn.

 No.605645

>>605644
There's a tombstone next to the farm.

 No.605646

>>605644
>>605645
Trot over to the tombstone, slowly, sadly.
This time I really can do nothing to undo this.
"I ain't even got anything to pay respect with…"

 No.605654

>>605646
Pa stands beside you.
"You can pay respect without laying anything at his grave. Take a moment and think of how he lived."

 No.605658

>>605654
"He lived the best life there is. Working hard and seeing it come to life."
Look down and sit by the grave, thinking about him, about the times he got me out of troubles, of the times he scolded me, of the day I said him goodbye when I left this place.

"But it's okay, the other side is not so bad. And Grogar's a smart guy."

 No.605662

>>605658
He places a hoof on your shoulder.
"I'm sure he's in the Eternal Plains now, watching over his wife and daughter."

 No.605665

>>605662
"Let's go back home Pa, Ma and Iris must be wondering where we are…"

 No.605667

>>605665
He nods silently and climbs back on Indy.
"I'm sorry son. I know how you and Field were close friends."

 No.605669

>>605667
"I'll stop by Neighara Falls before reaching the dragon lands, to try and find her."

 No.605670

>>605669
"I'm sure she'll be happy to see you again."
You land back at the farm, where Iris and Ma are putting the plates outside.

 No.605677

>>605670
Trot over to Iris with a tiny smile, nuzzling her.
"Did you get to show off your skills, hun?"

 No.605679

>>605677
"Just a little bit. Your mom is a very good cook."

 No.605686

>>605679
"Can't wait to taste it."
And then we had a family dinner.

 No.605687

>>605686
Any more talkings or do you want to go to another part.

 No.605690

>>605687
The rest is all pretty standard stuff. Maybe I will clue Iris in on what happened to my friend's father come night.
And show her my room.
But no lewd!

 No.605693

>>605690
Of course not, not in your old bedroom.

 No.605694

>>605693
It'd be super weird.
Maybe have a stroll around town before leaving.

 No.605695

>>605694
Town is a large word, the unicorn range is a collection of farms. The closest to town is a small settlement nearby where traders gather and the local guard lives.

 No.605697

>>605695
Then no need to do that. In the morning, begin gathering my things as I speak to my parents.
"What will you two do now? Keep on tending the farm?"

 No.605698

>>605697
"What else would we do, we're too old to go anywhere else. If I can die here, I'll be happy." says Pa.
He looks over both of you. "You shouldn't worry about us anymore. We'll do fine, both of you have a future together, that's what you should think about right now."

 No.605700

>>605698
"I'll come back around before riding off to adventure again, I promise."
Smile at my father.

It's time to go.

 No.605701

DOWNTIME TRAVEL
To Neighara Falls?

 No.605704

>>605701
Actually, what's the closest?
Neighara of Tall Tale?

 No.605707

>>605704
Neighara.

 No.605709

>>605707
To Neighara we shall go.
But during travel, I want to have a chat with Iris.

"So."

 No.605711

>>605709
She perks her ears.
"So?"

 No.605713

>>605711
"What did you think of the farm, of them?"

 No.605714

>>605713
"They're very happy together. I love that."

 No.605716

>>605714
"I was thinking, you know, maybe, we left so quickly from Tall Tale, we could go back."

 No.605721

>>605716
She looks curious
"Why?"

 No.605726

>>605721
"You know, you left everything there! And never went back!"

 No.605728

>>605726
"I didn't like the place anyway….altough…"

 No.605730

>>605728
Look at her hopeful.

 No.605733

>>605730
"I had a friend there named White Streak. I wonder how he's doing…"

 No.605744

>>605733
Smile and roll over the soft grass we are laying on, moving closer to her.
"That's a good reason to go.
And maybe, since we are there, we might drop in on your father…"

 No.605746

>>605744
"Oh! Yes, that's a great idea!"

 No.605757

>>605746
Smile proudly, reaching out to nuzzle her.
"I was so worried."

 No.605759

>>605757
"That I wouldn't want to see my dad? Are you kidding?"

 No.605761

>>605759
"You said nothing about it when we went to see my parents, it seemed strange!"

 No.605764

>>605761
"Oh, well you seemed so excited. I didn't want to barge in."

 No.605767

>>605764
"Then it's a deal, we will go meet your pa' before heading for the dragon lands, okay?"

 No.605771

>>605767
"Deal." Nuzzle, nuzzle.

 No.605774

>>605771
Off to Neighara falls!

Good for me.

 No.606240

DOWNTIME ENDS
You reach the Neighaghra Falls.
The majestic waterfalls are roaring beneath you.
The closest town nearby is Dim.

 No.606241

>>606240
Let's land this beauty somewhere close-but-not-too-close to Dim, then.
"Let's try not to scare the folks here too much.."

 No.606242

>>606241
Roll perception for a good spot!

 No.606243

>>606242
I don't have the sheet at hand, could you add the related bonus?
Surely there has to be a place.

Roll #1 16 = 16

 No.606244

>>606243
No bonus
But you do see a small forest nearby.
You land there with Indy. Should be around 10 minutes to walk to Dim. Indy could stay here if you don't want to upset the locals.

 No.606245

>>606244
Not gonna treat my boy like that! Instead, we walk the rest of the distance, so the locals have a chance to see us approach slowly.

 No.606246

>>606245
Sense Motive roll for villager '1d20+1'

Roll #1 6 + 1 = 7

 No.606247

>>606246
As you approach most ponies hurry back to their homes and wait behind locked doors. While not outright hostile, you spot some ponies looking cautiously out their windows.

 No.606248

>>606247
Guess I can just keep walking for now. Seems like they haven't heard of the heroes who killed Ner'Ghal yet!
"Hey! Anypony here?"

 No.606249

>>606248
DYEWTS?
'1d20+1'

One of them opens a window.
"Yes? What do you want?"

 No.606251

>>606250
>>606249
Stupid scaredy ponies.
Look up at him with a big smile and a cheerful tone.
"Looking for flowers!"

 No.606254

>>606251
"Flowers?!? What kind of flowers?"

 No.606257

>>606254
"Flowers! Field and Red Flowers!
Ever heard of'em?"

 No.606259

>>606257
"Oh…" she looks to you both and Indy. "Wait…that dragon is not going to hurt us right?"

 No.606262

"Naaaah. Tell'em, Indy!"

 No.606263

>>606262
"I won't hurt you ponies at all, unless you're meanies."
The pony seems to weigh your words.
"Good, I'll come over." She closes the window and comes down.
"Let me show you the way."

 No.606264

>>606263
"Oh, that's nice!"
Smile and follow.
"It's going way better than in Canterlot now that you are smaller!"

 No.606266

>>606264
Seeing how the mare doesn't get immediately swallowed, the other ponies leave their houses as well. Talking about the big dragon in their midst.
"Red lives at the edge of town. She's new here…but Field left a few months ago…"

 No.606267

>>606266
"Left? But she can't leave again, she already left the farm so until she's back there she can't leave this place too!"

 No.606269

>>606267
"I…am not sure what you're saying…."

 No.606270

>>606269
"Nevermind! Onwards to Red!"

 No.606273

>>606270
You go to the a small house to the edge of town.
An old mare is sitting on a chair near the door. She looks strangely as she sees all of you coming.

 No.606290

>>606273
Wave at her, picking up speed.

 No.606317

>>606290
She squints her eyes as you approach.
"Wait a minute. That shield. Could it be…Poor Soil?"

 No.606326

>>606317
"Auntie Reeeeeeeeed!"
Keep on running!

 No.606329

>>606326
"Oh yes, it must be you." She holds out her hooves and braces for hug impact.

 No.606330

>>606329
If there's one thing I know is slams.
Let's slow down, not killing her would be good!
HUG!

 No.606335

>>606330
You lift her up effortlessly, she's thinner than your mom! "My Poor Soil, you've become even bigger than I remember." she smiles.

 No.606337

>>606335
Fly her around like dad used to fly me before settling her down.
"It's all the travelling!"

 No.606340

>>606337
"It's good to see you again. I'm sorry Field isn't here. She'd be happy too."
Iris bumps in. "Field?" she looks at you "That friend from your farm?"

 No.606342

>>606340
Nod.
"Auntie, this here's Iris!
She and I… Uh…"
Grow all red.
"She'smyveryspecialsomepony."

 No.606345

>>606342
She looks at both of you. "My that's great news, Poor. I bet if Field were here she'd be so happy for you as well."

 No.606347

>>606345
"But I wanted to tell her too!
You know where she went?"

 No.606355

>>606347
"She left some time ago, I assume you heard about my husband?"

 No.606357

>>606355
Nod, bowing my head in sadness, my voice low.
"I was by the farm, a few days ago. Tried… Thinking things, saying things."

 No.606360

>>606357
She frowns. "I miss him every day. Field had it hard as well."

 No.606364

>>606360
Hug her again. Softly and calmly this time.
"He's just waiting, don't worry about that. The Eternal Plains look beautiful."

 No.606366

>>606364
"I'm sure they do…He was a good husband."

 No.606378

>>606366
And then I will actually just mingle and entertain her with some of my exploits because I'm not good with grief.
By the end of the day, go back to the topic of Field.
"Why did she leave again?"

 No.606381

>>606378
"We don't have a lot of money. She left to go adventuring and send money to help me out. She always wanted to be an adventurer, but she stayed because of her father. Now when we got here and we needed money I couldn't stop her. I believe she's in the Griffon Kingdom now. I have a letter from her…"

 No.606383

>>606381
Gasp!
That's just like what I'd do if I went adventuring!
"Can I read can I can I?"

 No.606388

>>606383
You're so alike!
"Of course dear." she rummages through the cupboard and gives you a letter.
"Hey Mom!
I've just arrived at Neverspring. It's all the way to the North of Hyperborea. It's soooo cold here, and it's summer. The Griffons tell me that in the winter the sea around Neverspring freezes shut, isn't that amazing? They also tell me that to the north of here, there's an island full of ponies and their island is littered with crystal statues. I never heard of that, but I'm afraid I can't visit it now. I've found something. I'm sorry I can't tell you about it in the letter, but I promise, the next time I write you I'll send you a fortune!!!!!
Love,
Field xoxo

 No.606392

>>606388
Turn to Iris, and Indy outside.
"We gotta totally go there guys!"
Back to Red!
"How long ago was this?"

 No.606395

>>606392
They're also inside.
At least Iris is.
"I got this just a few days ago." says Red.
"To Hyperborea?" says Iris. "We should write to Pico, maybe he can show us the way."
Indy frowns "But what about the Dragons, Pa?"

 No.606397

>>606395
Gasp!
"That's true! We have to get to the dragons first!"
Scrunch.
"But then we are going to Hyperborea!"

 No.606398

>>606397
"And don't forget about me!" says Iris.

Hug Iris tight up here, leaning into her ears to make sure I don't have to shout over the wind.
"Can you see your house from up here?"

 No.606412

>>606410
"Yes, it's down there." She points to a small house at the edge of town. "But we should land in the town square. I doubt ponies will be too freaked out!"

 No.606414

"Oh?"
Pat Indy and gesture him down. Maybe we need a quicker way to react…

Maybe you both can work out a super sekkrit sign language for bros only.
Indy lands in town square.
Some ponies back away but once they see there are others on there, walk over curiously.
"Hello" says Iris, waving.

Smile and "Hello!" with her!

Why is he asking me if I read her calendar?
Just smile! Wider!

Trot in, threading carefully and leaving the shield by the entrance.
Still without saying a word.

His house is quite different from yours. Smaller and filled with fishing equipment. "I'll make some coffee, dad!" Iris winks at you and leaves you with Dad.
Dad takes a good look at you and sits down on his chair.

 No.606572

Raise a brow, looking unsure of what to say, as if I hadn't understood the question.
"I… Want to be with her?"

 No.606573

"Yes, that's obvious? Why? To break her heart once you're done with her?"

 No.606574

No way we always cuddle afterwards.

Quickly recoil, eyes wide open in surprise.

Settle down without a word, sharing an angry but determined look with Iris' father.
Enjoy my coffee.

 No.606582

Sensing the tense situation, Iris puts down he coffee and starts talking about her adventures to dad, ranging from Tall Tale to Canterlot.
Dad seems to relax a little.
"So you fought a dragon?" he asks you.

 No.606584

>>606582
"That was the second one actually. "
Lean forward on the table, smiling a bit.
"First one was in the underground of this one ring of slavers just out in Tall Tale, but that was nothing compared to the big smelly himsef, Nar'Ghul!

Right let's get to the meat of the story.
You fly to the Snowspires mountains.
It is said that here are a number of dragons lurking in the mountains.
As you approach from the air, you see a light flash down near the flank of the mountain and a pony waving towards you.

 No.606981

"Set us down there, Indy!"

You fly down to see an avalanche took place here. The whole place is quite unstable.
You see a pony with part of her body stuck inbetween the rocks.
She's neighponese with black mane and a off-white coat.

 No.606986

>>606983
Motion for her to stay still.
"Don't you move!"
Fly down with Indy, and jump off beside her.

"Hello there, stranger! Little bit of a situation here that I could use some help with."

>>606986
"Not much space to move around in the first place, really. It's good that you came along, I was already starting to worry about having to cut my leg off out of desperation after days of being stuck here. It's not even wounded or anything, I just can't get it out, so you can see what a waste it would be to remove a perfectly healthy, if currently useless, leg. Nice dragon by the way, I was looking for one of those."

 No.606990

"Eh, legs grow back, I'd not worry about it that much."

Can Indy just move the rocks away?

ACTUAL RULES

Sometimes several characters perform a single task together
and individual success is irrelevant — when Bluffing, for example,
even one failure can expose everyone involved. Other times
several characters making the same check, or even a cooperative
check, unfairly tips the odds in the characters’ favor (even a few
characters can practically ensure success with Notice or Search,
for instance). In either of these cases the group should make a
“team check.” This works like a standard skill check, except that
only one character makes the check for the entire team.
• If every member of the team must succeed to reap the benefit
(e.g. the Bluff), the character with the lowest skill bonus
makes the check.
• If only one character must succeed for the entire team to reap
the benefit (e.g. the patrol), the character with the highest
skill bonus makes the check.
When two or more characters qualify, the team chooses
which makes the check.

 No.607035

>>607033
You may use that roll as a cooperative roll if you both want to.

OOPERATIVE CHECKS
When multiple characters work together to perform a task,
they make a “cooperative check.” One character becomes the
leader and all others become helpers. A maximum of 5 helpers
may assist each skill check. The leader makes a standard skill check
against the full DC and then each helper makes the same check
against a DC of 15. For each helper who succeeds, the leader’s
result increases by 1, and for each helper who scores a critical
success the leader’s result increases by 2. If any of the helpers
suffers a critical failure, however, the entire task is ruined and must
be started again. The leader’s total result — after all helper bonuses
are applied — determines the cooperative check’s outcome.

You storm right for the goblin and before he knows it, ram the shield right in his face.
Flawless victory, he's dead!

Meanwhile the other goblin reaches Soothing, attempting to stab her '1d20+1'

You freeze his head to an icicle.
He drops to the floor, dead.

Normally you'd get XP, loot, yadda yadda.
Not right now, sorry, they only had shit.
Iris looks at them.
"Bleh, they look so ugly, look at those…what are they called? Claws?"

 No.607449

>>607446
Poke them with a hoof.
"Your dragon has claws too, doesn't he?"

 No.607451

They look like the back paws of diamond dogs!"

Iris looks to Soothing.
"But that magic, that was amazing!"

You suddenly see both Indy and the large dragon flying back.
They land on the ridge.
Indy seems troubled

 No.611405

>>610631
"Hey pal! Finally made it back, did you?"
Plant my shield onto the ground and lean on it.

 No.611406

I can only wonder what they discussed.

 No.611407

>>611405
He walks over.
"Dad, she took me to the other dragons nearby…but they say they cannot teach me about the dragon ways unless someone initiates me. Normally my Pa should do that, but they say you can't because you're not a dragon."

 No.611408

>>611407
"That's racist!"

 No.611409

>>611408
"I know!"
He rests his head sadly on the ground.
"What do I do now?"
Iris walks over and hugs his head. "There there, Indy, it will be fine…"

 No.611410

>>611409
Turn to the other dragon!
"Hey! What's this story all about? Why can't a pony initiate my boy?
He's ten time more dragon than most dragons I've met!"

 No.611411

>>611409
>>611410
"I don't have any dragon shapeshifting spells either. Can't help you there."

 No.611412

>>611410
She turns her giant head to you and lowers her head till eye level, blowing some fumes in your face.
"You're not a dragon. How could you initiate anyone to the mystical secrets of dragons?"

 No.611413

>>611412
Close my eyes and let the smoke clear before pointing with a hoof at the dragoness.
"Then why can't you initiate him?
What, there have never been orphan dragons before?"

 No.611414

>>611413
"I offered, but the one who initiates has to stay with the initiate until he knows the rules of dragon society and our ancient magic. And he said he doesn't want to stay with me until that time. He wants to travel with you"

 No.611415

>>611414
"Well then, I will just have to dragon up!
Teach me how to be a dragon!"

 No.611416

>>611414
"How long does such an initiation even take?"

 No.611417

>>611415
"You…a dragon?"

>>611416
"Not very long. It can take long to learn our ways fully. But the secrets of dragon magic is in our blood."

 No.611418

>>611417
"Yeah, it can't be that hard! I could teach you to be a pony in a day!"

 No.611419

>>611418
She rubs her chin.
"To be a dragon you should….hmm.
Can you survive in extreme heat?"

 No.611420

>>611419
Slam my chest.
"I can survive anything!"

 No.611421

>>611420
"Even Lava?"

 No.611422

>>611421
"Yes he can."
I smirk.

 No.611423

>>611422
She looks at you.
"He can?"

 No.611424

>>611421
Open my mouth to let out an esitant sound
"Mayb-"
>>611422
>>611423
Turn my head quickly, kinda suprised.
"Can I?"

 No.611425

>>611423
>>611424
"Of course. Ponies have just as much inherent magic as dragons do. Just you watch."

 No.611426

>>611425
She looks towards Soil again.
"But he can't fly!"

 No.611427

>>611426
"I can fall with style!"

 No.611428

>>611426
"Not all dragons can fly, but he can."

 No.611429

>>611428
>>611427
She shakes her head.
"Very well. If he can survive being tossed into a lake of lava and fly back out again, he may act as Indy's initiator."
She spreads her wings.
"We'll fly to the meeting."

 No.611430

>>611429
>>611428
"Just give us a few moments, okay?"
Trot back to Soothing Mist.
"How exactly am I gonna fly and survive the lava?"

 No.611431

>>611430
"Please, remember who you're talking to."
I wink.
"As a certified wizard I know some spells I can use for this."

 No.611432

>>611431
Sigh.
Freaky magic.
"Ready to go, then!"

 No.611433

>>611431
>>611432
She flies up and waits in the air.
Climb on Indy?

 No.611434

>>611433
Yeah. Let's go.

 No.611435

>>611433
Climb on as well.

 No.611436

>>611434
>>611435
You both fly on Indy in the air.
A little further, hidden by grey clouds, you find a huge dragon meeting ground.
There are at least 20 dragons here you can count. Most fully mature with some smaller dragons nearby.
When Indy lands, some dragons scoff.
"Why are you back with the Kravo, Xarana? We have already established he has no initiator."
"I have found one. An honorary dragon." she nods to Soil.

 No.611437

>>611436
Step up, looking at the crowd of dragons with slight excitement.
"That's right."

 No.611438

>>611437
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. The dragons start laughing.
"Surely this is a jest!"
Iris steps off Indy.
"That's right! He'll show you all, he can do anything a dragon can, and better!!!!"

>>611435
Iris whispers to Soothing. "Your spells better work!"

 No.611439

>>611434
Pat him on the back.
"You'll do find down there, I'm sure of it. Just trust me."
Cast Resist Energy Fire on him. Boost the roll with an action dice if I have one. '1d4'

Roll #1 20 + 13 = 33 / Roll #2 2 = 2

You've got 3 every session.

He is protected as fuck!

 No.611441

Look at them unfazed, holding my head up high.
"Let's get this over with, I will show you what a pony can do."

 No.611442

>>611438
Just wink at her.

 No.611443

>>611441
"Ha, this is gonna be funny."
He points to a pool of lava in the middle.
"A real dragon would feel just as much at home in a pool of lava as in the air. Go ahead, do a few laps."

 No.611444

>>611443
"What, no dropping me from the top of the mountain now?"
Smirk at them and…
Do I believe in magic?
I guess I do. Swim, motherfucker.
In the lava.
'1d20+11'

Roll #1 7 + 11 = 18

 No.611445

>>611444
Everyone, even the dragons gasp as you jump in.
It is kinda hot, but remarkably tolerable and you feel no pain nor see any wounds whatsoever, you quickly do a few laps.

 No.611446

>>611445
Containing my disbelief is the hardest part!
"Wish showers were this warm!"

 No.611447

>>611446
Even Indy looks surprised!
The other dragon recovers.
"But surely, he cannot fly. He does not even have wings! Checkmate, believers."

 No.611448

>>611447
Trot over to the edge of the lavapool.
"Is it not too cold for you, Soil?"

 No.611449

>>611448
Swim over there.
"Kinda. What do you have in mind?"
Grin as I climb out of the lava.

 No.611450

>>611449
"I could create a fire, but I think the dragons would like to see you fly first."
Point a hoof at the sky.
"Maybe fly up and touch that cloud over there?"
Cast Levitate on Soil. Use an action die to boost the roll again '1d4'

Roll #1 2 + 13 = 15 / Roll #2 1 = 1

 No.611451

>>611450
He starts flying straight up!
Now everyone is really stumped!

 No.611452

>>611450
>>611451
Flail my hooves as if paddling through water, all the way to… Wherever I manage to get!
"AHAH!
HOW'S THAT FOR A DRAGON?"

 No.611453

>>611452
You fly right up into the air until you're on a cloud.
It's quite windy here.
Indy points "Look, my Pa is flying! He's a dragon."
The dragons talk amongst each other. Eventually, they agree "He must be an honorary dragon."

 No.611454

>>611453
Bring him back down.

 No.611455

>>611454
He lands safely back on the ground.

 No.611456

>>611455

Announce with the most candid expression there is.
"Flying's cool."

 No.611457

>>611455
>>611454
>>611456
"Very well then. This…pony may act as an initiator. Pony, what is your name?"

 No.611458

>>611457
"Poor Soil, from the Unicorn Range."

 No.611459

>>611458
"Then Poor Soil, do you swear you will watch over Indy until he can properly apply the traditions and secrets of the dragon magic and blood we'll teach him here today?"

>>611454
"Nice magic" whispers the large dragoness that brought you here

 No.611460

>>611459
"Of course, I've been doing that ever since I first found him!"
Grin, looking up at the dragon.

 No.611461

>>611459
Just keep looking at Soil.
"I know. So you see, we're all magical in our own ways."

 No.611462

>>611460
"Good then. Indy. Step forward."
Indy steps forward.
"Present your right claw." Indy makes a cut in his right claw and shows it.
The older dragon does so as well and gives him a hand.
Indy seems to nearly faint but gets himself upright again.

>>611461
You see some blood dripping on the ground from the strange ritual. If you can quickly get it…dragonblood is worth a fortune, especially of ancient dragons

 No.611463

>>611462
"!"
Look worried at the scene.

 No.611464

>>611463
You're not the only one.
Iris grasps your hoof and looks very worried.
She doesn't even relax when the clawshake ends and the wound closes again.
"Dragon magic is all in the blood, Indy. Our wisdom and knowledge, all is in our blood. You are a bronze dragon and as such, the physical power of bronze dragons is without equal. Let that blood guide you."

 No.611465

>>611462
I do have a few jars! Fill one of 'em up.

 No.611466

>>611464
Bite my lip and grasp Iris's hoof with strength.
"You can do it kiddo…"

 No.611467

>>611465
Roll Prestidigation if you want to do it sneakily.

>>611466
"But how will I know what to do?"
"Follow the magic of your blood, it will guide you. Just like it guides all of dragonkind. Now arise, Indy! You are a dragon!"
Indy spreads his wings proudly

 No.611468

>>611467
Lean towards Iris, with a tiny smile on my face.
"I'm kinda… Proud."

 No.611469

>>611467
Ehhh… I'll try.

Roll #1 13 + 4 = 17

 No.611470

>>611469
What a sneakypon.
You manage to do it!
You have a bottle of dragon blood.

>>611468
She puts her head on your shoulder as the other dragons cheer.

 No.611471

>>611470
"Knew you had it in you, kid."
Smirk at Indy, relieved.

 No.611472

>>611470
Noice. Stash it away.

 No.611473

>>611471
>>611472
Do any of you want to talk to the dragons?

 No.611475

>>611473
Do they even want to talk with us!?
"What's it gonna be like with Indy now?"

 No.611476

>>611475
You can try!
There's a few of them around and they seem more relaxed now.

Who are you asking that question?

 No.611477

>>611476
The dragon who cut his paw and shared blood with Indy.

 No.611478

>>611473
Sure. That dragoness?

 No.611479

>>611477
He looks to you.
"He's been given ancient dragon blood. That will guide him towards becoming a better dragon. How, I do not know, but you have to make sure whatever happens, he gets there."

 No.611480

>>611479
"That I can promise.
Just so I'm sure though, anything special a dragon needs?
Like, extra large loafers or something?"

 No.611481

>>611480
"You might want to get him a dragoness once in a while."

>>611478
She's sitting there with her brood.
She looks at you.
"The pony wants to speak more?"

 No.611482

>>611481
"What am I, a dragon pimp?"

 No.611483

>>611481
"Yes, What's your name?"

 No.611484

>>611482
"No, you're a bit too small for that."
He laughs

>>611483
"Xarana. Pony name?"

 No.611485

>>611484
"Soothing Mist. Nice to meet you. Are you foreign to Equestria?"

 No.611486

>>611485
"You are the foreigners here. Before the great pony invasion, we dragons called this continent Vrodrul. But I was born on this continent. Not too far from what ponies call the Crystal Mountains. I don't know if that's inside your Equestria."

 No.611487

>>611486
"I am a foreigner. Did the eyes give it away?"

 No.611488

>>611487
"You ponies all look the same to me."

 No.611489

>>611488
"I'm not even sure whether that's racist or not."

 No.611490

>>611489
"What's racist?"

 No.611491

>>611490
"Racism is prejudice and discrimination based on biological differences. It's regarded as bad by many because they generally believe an individual shouldn't be judged by his or her race. It comes in many forms and degrees, so elaborating any further would be very lengthy and boring."

 No.611492

>>611491
"So let me get this straight, you mean I shouldn't make comments on how we're different to ponies that are biologically different?"

 No.611493

>>611492
"No, what you actually 'shouldn't' do is to judge someone by their race. As an extreme example, a non-dragon attacking you or your kin because they perceive dragons as dangerous, beastly, inferior beings."

 No.611837

>>611493
She raises her brow.
"Pony, when you came here, were you worried some dragon might attack you?"

 No.611838

>>611484
"What's keeping all you dragons in here anyway? Where are all the houses, and farms, and stuff?"

 No.611839

>>611837
"I knew it was a possibility."

 No.611840

>>611838
"This is one of our Vrolom, we gather here sometimes to share information and let our children bathe in the wisdom of their elders."

>>611839
"So you acknowledge that I as a dragon am dangerous?"

 No.611841

>>611840
"Isn't that smelly?"

 No.611842

>>611840
"You have the means to inflict destruction on something, so yes. Of course, the same applies to me."

 No.611843

>>611841
"We bathe!"

>>611842
She grins. "Is that so? You can inflict destruction?"

 No.611844

>>611843
"Yes, in the wisdom of the elders! And elders, ponies at least, smell!"

 No.611845

>>611843
"You better believe it. My bowels are a certified weapon of mass destruction after a few portions of noodle soup."

 No.611846

>>611845
"Give me your best."

>>611844
"…..you're not the brightest are you?"

 No.611847

>>611846
"Nah, that'd be Amber. One day she shone so bright they could see her from the Moon!"

 No.611848

>>611846
"I don't see any noodle bars around here, Xarana."

 No.611849

>>611848
"Can't you conjure some noodles with that magic of yours?"

>>611847
"I find that hard to believe, how are you not blind from such an intense source of light?"

 No.611850

>>611849
"We had shades!"

 No.611851

>>611849
"Not noodles specifically. That might not be a bad future project though, I'm sure there's spells that let you conjure entire meals out of thin air."

 No.611852

>>611850
"Shades, what's shades?"

>>611851
She snorts.
"That's just lazy."

 No.611853

>>611852
"Using magic requires effort too, not just the learning of spells, but the actual casting of them."

 No.611854

>>611852
"Crystal pony stuff. Freaky magic if you ask me.
So if you aren't here most of the time where is it dragons live?"

 No.611855

>>611854
"We live a solitary life. Some of us in caves, others in lakes or even hidden beneath cities.
Some of us just fly from place to place."

>>611853
"Hunting and gathering is a worthy daily struggle that keeps the senses and respect for the wilds strong. Once you have mastered the arcane, you become lazy, out of touch with the other creatures of the world."

 No.611856

>>611855
"Hey, that sounds just about like how I live! Just, with less inns and pony stuff.
How do you even walk in a city?"

 No.611857

>>611855
"Envy is a vice, you know."

 No.611858

>>611856
"I never go to cities myself, too noisy. But I know of one dragon who made his lair in a cave system underneath a port city. Through the underground streams and lakes she moves in or out."

>>611857
"So is pride."

 No.611859

>>611858
"I may not be humble about my skills, but it's funny to hear a dragon of all creatures point that out."

 No.611860

>>611858
"That's not exactly good to mingle with ponies!"

 No.611861

>>611859
"Are you suggesting we are prideful?"

>>611860
"Why would I mingle with ponies?"

 No.611862

>>611861
"Are you denying that you are?"

 No.611863

>>611861
"Indy would! I need help with making that happen!"

 No.611864

>>611862
"That's something we have in common then."

>>611863
He snorts.
"Indy said so as well.
I do not understand why he'd mingle with ponies and not stay among his own kind."

 No.611865

>>611864
"I'm not denying it. There's no shame in taking pride of your achievements as an individual."

 No.611866

>>611864
"Can't he do both? He's got forever to be with you lonely-ass dragons!"

 No.611867

>>611866
"I cannot help dragons mingle with ponies. I can only show dragons how to be dragons."

>>611865
"Such an awkward way of thinking. To take pride in what you do, rather than what you are."

 No.611868

>>611867
"Well, guess that one is up to me."
Puff out my chest in a proud motion.

 No.611869

>>611867
"That's basically what I said."

 No.611870

>>611868
"And me!" says Iris, trying to puff her chest as well! '1d20' to make it not look awkward

>>611869
"You consider your achievements what you are?"

Roll #1 1 = 1

 No.611871

>>611870
"What you do shapes what you are."

 No.611872

>>611870
And just because I'm an asshole I'll throw an action die to crit it.

Iris breathes in deeply and holds her breath looking defiantly at the dragon.
She becomes red, then a new shade of blue…

>>611871
"You can do as many things as you like, you will always be a pony."

 No.611873

>>611872
"I'm perfectly fine with that! Being an alicorn pony would be even better, but as a unicorn I have plenty of options open to me."

 No.611874

>>611872
"Ohmygosh!"
Look in extreme surprise at Iris!
"I never knew you could change color!"

 No.611875

>>611874
She keeps going!
Trying to stare the dragon down.
The dragon looks confused.
"Is she healthy?"

>>611873
"You come from the lands over the Sea, correct? Are there many dragons there?"

 No.611876

>>611875
Put a hand behind her back, moving in to whisper close.
"You okay sugar?"

 No.611877

>>611875
"Dragons are important symbols where I come from. And yes, there are dragons living there too."

 No.611878

>>611876
She exhales and inhales again deeply.
"Did…I….do….good?"

>>611877
"Hmmm, important symbols you say?"

 No.611879

>>611878
"You totally stood up for Indy!"
Smack her on the back.
SOFTLY!

 No.611880

>>611878
"They stand for power and strength and even good luck. In older times they were believed to control hurricanes and floods."

 No.611881

>>611878
You SOFTLY pat her on the back
"That's right, mister dragon, we'll take care of Indy!" she sticks out her tongue at the confused dragon

>>611880
"Perhaps I should pay them a visit sometime."

 No.611882

>>611881
"Let's go get Indy, alright?"
Move that hoof behind her back and lead her away from the big bad dragon.
We outwitted a dragon! Ah!

 No.611883

>>611882
"Not like you don't have the time to in your lifespan."

 No.611884

>>611883
"I suppose you're right.
I think your friends are leaving."

>>611882
Indy is bathing in lava

 No.611885

>>611884
"You liking it here, pal?"

 No.611886

This parade is to celebrate the day now more than 1000 years ago, when Dawnwood was liberated from the grasp of Discord by the Princesses during the Grand Crusade.

You storm forward shield first, before the harpies know you're there, your shield slams right into him, shoving him back and on the ground, you take your shield and slam it repeatedly in his face until his eyes turn to X's and stars fly around his face.
He is helpless!

Indy launches forward grabbing the other harpy with his teeth and with a swing slamming him against the wall.

The mare takes her chance to escape. In MH2, I'd give some extra CP for that, but alas this is chrones!
