You have travelled for one week through the Kingsreach following the holy river Rhivnen in the company of the guide hired by the captain of the ship.
Kingsreach is a quaint county with rolling hills and orange colored trees. As you go further into the heartland of Hyperborea you meet less and less griffons who know Common Equestrian well and your guide is a great help. If some of you want to add Griffic to your languages and you have room for it, you may do so now as learning from the guide.
During the journey, you've passed by the mountain city of Lion's Eyrie, there Amber and Silver have acquired a diplomatic visa and have gained some leeway with the local military. Still they should be careful to not anger the wrong griffons.
You've arrived in the small town of Brimstaddt. You are at the unofficial borders of Hyperborea. This is where your guide will leave you. But before he goes, you can ask him some questions about Hyperborea if you'd like as well as buy supplies.

All the while during our travels, I never stopped talking about the Gravewolf and what the book says about it!
"-Trust me guys, we just have to hunt this one!"
Then, turning to the guide, I will ask for the tenth time if he's ever seen one.

In Downtime rations are not spent, those are assumed to be part of your Panache/Prudence.
I also didn't take one ration from all you during the first adventure. But that will go into play now!
You all seem to have enough food to keep going, the only thing Mabel might keep in mind is that her fresh food will spoil at the end of the adventure (she already has it a week!).
You have not eaten yet today! You can buy some food at the inn or eat some of your own supplies.
>>622531
"No! I haven't! And I don't know anyone who has! They're myths. You should go ask the Rune Priests at Mt. Grifjell if they even exist!"

Silver just says that he could handle it, when you take over your part of the gear, but you do note a small smile of relief on his face.

"Old Equestrian. But some of them know Common Equestrian I think. You might want to hire one of those or convince him or her to help you out."

Fresh food normally removes sickness, but you're not sick!

Actually, Knight has a detailed one of the area, I'm sure he wouldn't mind Soil borrowing it. It shows the entire Wild Lands area including Unicornia.
I wanted to draw it as well but got sidetracked. So you can do +1 to any Knowledge check about the area as well as ask me for general information you'd be able to see plainly on the map.

Walk up to him and poke his chest angrily.
"Hey!
That's not what I saw at the battle for Mount Volcano-where-Mabel-died-but-not-really!
Thousand of ponies from all over Equestria were there, fighting against odds stacked dozens of times against them, and not one of them flinched!
So don't you go around calling Equestrians tame!"

You leave town and follow the dirt road. The orange leaf trees give way to pine trees. Up here the weather has gotten noticeably colder and clouds are gathering in the sky.

You stop as Mabel sneakily steps into the bushes and looks forward.
You see a large tomato and carrot field, multiple earth pony stallions are franctically trying to harvest the last remaining vegetables.
Then Amber pops up right next to you, her armor shining brightly.
One of the stallions sees her and starts galloping away, shouting to the others in a language you don't understand.

You continue on your road and leave the forest. You see the now empty carrot/tomato fields on both sides of the roads. There's still some unharvested produce if you're interested.
You see a small town up ahead built of straw and wood. You notice only one building of stone.
What you also see is that the way in has been blocked by carts and behind it are earth ponies with forks and bows.

The ponies start talking amongst each other in Old Equestrian until you hear another voice speaking up in the old language and the crowd moves aside to reveal a purple unicorn with a pink mane.
She looks at Mabel. "I am Falling Star, mayor of this town. Might I know your names and your business here?"

"My name is Mabel, and these are my friends, Amber and Silver, the crystal ponies, Poor Soil, the earth pony, Soothing Mist the unicorn, Indy the Dragon, Inferni the phoenix, and so on! We are passing through here, actually, but we saw that you looked troubled, and thought we would ask if you need help."
Motion at the barricade.
"Looking at this, you do."

She says something to the gathered earth ponies, who then start to remove the barricade and some go back on the field.
"Forgive all these ponies. We get some trouble once in a while with the Griffons. We've learned to protect ourselves rather than find ourselves caught by surprise."

"Some of them I suppose. I think it would be too rude of me to assume all Griffons are involved of it."
>>622642
She nods.
"We've lasted for centuries. And we're not going away anytime soon. Unicornia is already smaller than it once was, but we've said this far and no further, anytime they even think about trying something they feel our hooves!"
>>622644
"Precautions. We're not used to having travellers so you might have been sent by them. Forgive us, the long years have made us very distrustful of anypony or griffon we don't know."

>>622680
"How nice it must be to just have an Empire spring up like that."
>>622681
"No. This is Unicornia, as it was in the beginning in the time of the Tribes. The Unicornia of that time, after the Chism, absorbed the other tribes."

The town is quite small, only having wooden hovels and huts in which earth ponies in rags live. The one notable exception is the house of Falling star, made of stone. And the mayor's office, made of stone as well, and decorated with numerous gems.

>>622715
"We get by. The earth ponies create the food and they're good at it. But I'll admit that I dream of having some fresh soap or new blankets once in a while."
>>622714
She takes a step back.
"Our problem is that they don't take us seriously. They claim this land is theirs and they intend to claim it. One house at a time if they have to. But I don't see how you can solve that."

"An old favorite, Unicornian stew made of radishes, carrot, hay, and a tiny dash of magic."
She winks.
"Of course, we have to provide that last ingredient."
Her horns sparks and two white orbs float in either plate, turning the brown color a pleasant yellow.
>>623864
>>623862
Some earth ponies dash for one of the houses.
As they come closer you see it's 7 armored pegasi flying in V formation.
The head of the pack shouts something and they draw their halberds. They dive towards you and Pico.
Silver unsheats his zweihander.
The pegasi circle above you.

One of the earth ponies beside you shouts something to them.
And they stop circling.
One of them, a green pegasis with black armor and decorations in the form of a lightning bolt flies a bit down and an argument starts between him and the earth pony.
After a while, the leader barks some orders and one other pegasus, a brownish one clothed in similar armor but no helmet slowly floats down.
In broken Equestrian he says "Who are you?"
>>623866
"Bon appetit."

It tastes like a regular stew but somehow far more intense and rich, you attribute it to the magic.

The soldier says something to his captain and the pegasi lower their weapons.
Three, including the one you just spoke to, float down next to you.
"I am Cloud Hopper, Legionnaire."
Three others fly to the large house where earth ponies are now bringing out supplies of food.
The captain flies towards the mayors house.

"No. If you have no ill intentions we welcome you to Unicornia. We merely needed to be sure, these ponies here say you're visitors."
>>623875
"We're doing our patrol of the region and collecting our monthly tribute."
>>623876
The Mayor wants to speak up, but the door opens again and a pegasus with black armor and a lightning insignia steps in.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I have to speak here for a moment."
She turns and the pegasus gives a little bow for her. They exchange a few words and then he leaves again.

"That is correct, ma'am."
Silver immediately shouts.
"Then why are these ponies saying they've been harrassed?"
The pegasus coughs.
"It is true that some incidents have occured but we have always responded as fast as we could. The Pegasus Legion has 5 towns and 3 cities to patrol in Unicornia. It is unfortunate that we can't be everywhere at the same time…"
>>623880
"As long as there's no trouble, you'll be treated well."

From the times before the Exodus. Compared to those days it would be more of a battalion…maybe a company."
>>623883
"Are you telling us how to run our own army? You can be assured we do all we can. Unlike in Equestria where there's an abundance of princesses, here we have to fend for ourselves."

"They hold the line.
But they don't have the manpower anymore to push it.
7 years ago, the town of Ametha was so low on ponies that the Princess decided to relocate them to Hornton rather than spend more Legion resources to defend it. I think the Griffons claim it now.
When Griffons approach I shoot a green firebolt in the air so that the Pegasi know there's trouble. But we have to fend for ourselves while they come."

>>623892
Done.
He seems overwhelmed at all this food. He shouts and many other mares and fillies come to collect some too.
They all what you presume, thanking you in their language. One of them runs to his home and comes back with a small golden pin engraved with the Sun and Moon. He pushes it in your hoof.

>>623898
"Training earth ponies? That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard."
>>623897
Iris is helping them distributing the rations. Making sure all the kids have one.
But why would they need to hunt? There's ample farm fields outside the town, more than enough to make all these ponies fat.

Ferriro's map shows there are 3 towns this side of the river in Unicornia.
Daisyville (where you've already been), Graniteton, The Crossing (place to cross the river Rhivnen)
On the other side is Platina (Princess Platinum's hometown), Manekerk and supposedly a cloud town named Pegalopolis.
The road then goes further towards the griffon town of Groheim. There's a ruin called Lokkrjund named on the map further south.

Downtime for 5 hours.
You make your way through the white winter landscape. The sun is shining magnificently and despite the cold wind you feel not too cold.
During the afternoon you finally get sight of the Crossing.
It is significantly larger than Daisyville. And at least made of stone. As you walk into town you immediately note the number of unicorns here is far larger. The vast majority of them dressed well and hurrying on their way, while scruffy looking earth ponies are cleaning the streets. In the distant sky, you can see a cloud city, presumably Pegasopolis.

During the afternoon you finally get sight of the Crossing.
It is significantly larger than Daisyville. And at least made of stone. As you walk into town you immediately note the number of unicorns here is far larger. The vast majority of them dressed well and hurrying on their way, while scruffy looking earth ponies are cleaning the streets. In the distant sky, you can see a cloud city, presumably Pegasopolis.

This is quite the society. I'm glad Neighpon has been spared of this madness.
Where are those interesting old buildings then?
This is quite the society. I'm glad Neighpon has been spared of this madness.
Where are those interesting old buildings then?
As you walk further you see some very richly dressed zebras, a group dressed in Germane clothing, and a group of Prench aristocracy.
>>624702
Some of these buildings look really ancient already. A surprising number of them seemingly deserted.
You can do an Investigate check to ask around about interesting old buildings.
>>624705
Silver frowns.
"I think it's pretty obvious."

Approach these striped devils with care.

He points as all the others run to greet the VIPs.
>>624714
Roll an Impress.
>>624711
You heard they were always filthy. This one is clothed in beautiful tiger pelts however and wears plenty of gold jewelry.
>>624715
You remember that some of the larger towns in Unicornia have a very favorable taxation system and complete confidentiality, leading to ponies and even some eastern Griffons to leave their fortunes in the hooves of the Unicornians.
You imagine it would be way harder to bully these towns than the smaller ones.

"His magnificence has never seen a Neighponese pony either and says that if they're all as pretty as you, it must be a very lucky country."
>>624739
He has a +3 to Investigate. That's his Competence boost.
You can't make heads or tails of it. But Silver manages after a while to discover that many old mansions are empty but presumably cleared long ago. Just outside town to the west are the ruins of Puddington. Part of that town was built into the ground and there might still be treasures there to unearth.
>>624742
Iris takes your hoof.
"Soil, I find it unfair too, but there's nothing we can do, we're guests here we can't just change an entire society overnight."

The 3 of you leave town towards the west.
After about 20 minutes of walking, you come across crumbling ruins of an old town. You think this must be Puddington, even if you can't read the Old Equestrian signs.
>>624755
He thinks for a second, then smiles.
"His magnificence is a very wealthy stallion. And here in Unicornia he can have trusted advisors on how to handle that money."

Asking around is an Investigate check. A Hard one
>>624764
Most of it is rubble, but you see one of the larger ones has a stairway into the deep. I hope you brought torches.

You're led to a small cafe. An earth pony in tuxedo comes to take the orders. The zebra orders a strong beer and a tea for you.
"So, what's your name again?"
>>624774
>>624775
You both don't really seem to get through. The language barrier is a difficulty and you can't seem to find anypony who's willing to listen to you. This might take longer than expected. Eventually you learn a priest at the local church might be willing to share some info.
The sun is setting by now.
>>624777
>>624776
You enter what seems to be an old network of tunnels.
Roll Investigate to guess the purpose of these tunnels.

There are two places to sleep seemingly. You can try in one of the expensive hotels of the Unicorns or you can go to the outer Earth pony slums for cheap lodgings.

You both go further inside the tunnel. Your torch is the only light. The tunnel is unadorned, the earth walls only upheld by the occasional wooden support.
Water drips from the ceiling and some moss grows on the ceiling. As you walk through the tunnels you see small chambers dug into the walls with ashes in the middle. You figure the ponies lived in these small pits.
Except for the occasional drop of water it is dead quiet…
Suddenly a cold breeze rushes to you from deeper inside the dark tunnel and blows out your torch. It's dark now.
>>624817
Some do turn around when you shout.

Amber, Silver and Ferriro went to the outskirts of town to visit the old ruins of Puddington. They're exploring a dark underground tunnel now.
Soil, Soothing, Iris, Indy are gonna try to do something about the oppression of earth ponoes. Or are at least discussing it.
You walked away from Soil earlier to look for an inn.
>>625412
Iris frowns.
"But look at what's happening here. We can't let these ponies be used this way. They can go to Equestria and have a good life…"

The local temple is dedicated to the sun, moon and Princess Platinum, but nothing to see in terms of the elements.
But as you walk around town, Inferni suddenly flies up and points out a small set of marks on a building. You study it and what at first glance is just decoration is actually a rune of Earth.
>>625418

After a few knocks, a unicorn in simple clothing opens the door and says what you assume to be hello in Old Equestrian.
>>625430

I'll use your +11 from that.
Unless in very unusual circumstances I'll be the one to ask for a Notice check since notice is subconcious while a search is active perception.
Anyway, you don't see anypony following you here, but in the market a lot of ponies sure were staring at you because Soil was shouting about Small Debit.

You enter the small church dedicated to the Sun and Moon. Instead of the Equestrian Luna and Celestia, there are statues of the royal princesses. The current one is prominently placed in the middle.

No decorations except a few pots with beautiful flowers, only a few chairs a table and a kettle over a fire.

You only hear each others voices, if you're close to each other you can probably feel each other.

It's at first glance a hole in the ground. But then you see the runes etched on the rocks and the small effigies of gnomes. You figure it's a meditation place like the Earth worshippers have.
"My place. No show many pony." she smiles.
>>625467

Iris is shocked as well.
"Do you need books? I have books. I can help them to learn to read!"

You trot to where the light was. It's right next to another earth room. But you don't see anypony.
The place you're in is very cramped. The tunnel can only have one pony moving through it at once. The rooms are small though this one here is a bit larger than the others.

Her ears perk.
"Sir, that would be very unwise. I don't condone violence.
The earth ponies usually do most of the manual labor, the low paid jobs. Most of them can't get anything better because they can't read, which is why I'm trying to teach and get support to start a school. Some of the locals are enthusiastic about it, but it's hard to get funds."

You remember part of it.
Ghosts are spirits of ponies that refuse to go on to the Underworld and remain trapped in a place for one reason or another. Your weapons are blessed and could weaken a hostile spirit if it manifests itself, but usually it is more prudent to find out the reason why the spirit is here and make sure they can move on.
Spirits are often tied to certain objects or places where specific events related to why they remain happened.

You start putting your nose to the ground and do a thorough search of the room. Suddenly you hear something crack underneath your hoof.
You dig a bit and find a bone of a small horse. You pick up a skull as well. It is cracked as if an axe or something like that pierced it.

The room is deserted. But there's some items here, you see a broken doll made of twigs on the ground. And somepony painted on the walls. A stallion, a mare and two fillies, happily together. The drawing is crude and childlike.
As you look around you also find a rusty axe planted in the ground.

The tunnels you're in are dark and dusty, clearly nopony has been here in ages. Water occasionally drips on the ground and you step into small puddles of mud.
The cave is so dark you can't see shit unless you're carrying or close to someone carrying a torch. Amber and Pico are carrying torches
Pico's theory is that this tunnel network was used at one point to shelter ponies from blizzards above. Those must have been desperate times if they preferred to stay here rather than outside.
I have taken the liberty of making a crudely drawn map for this network.
Don't forget you can run Search checks for perception. Notice checks are only necessary when I ask for it.

I'm just not sure how radical the followers of each Lord are. I'm almost afraid to imagine a servant of Asharr."

The stone door doesn't budge.
>>626678
She sneers.
"Asharr, that little gluttonous rat. If there's one you have to be afraid of it is Lavan."
Her amber eyes glow for a second.
"He grants true power to those who serve well."
>>626680
I assume you went into the room the ghost went in or just the tunnel?
>>626679
Now that Soil is out of range you're only seeing very little because of your natural shine. Light a new torch?

>>626687
You light another torch.
As you collect all bones slowly together again, you hear a loud crash and feel a cold wind blowing around you.
>>626687
>>626688
You lift your back hooves and smash the door to pieces with one smash.
The door crumbles and a cold foul smelling air flows out.
Behind it the walls are stone, engraved with runes and a few Griffon statues…covered with gems. Flanking a stairs leading deep into the earth.
>>626689
The room you enter is larger than the others with moldy old furniture. There are bookcases with ravaged old books and prominently on a desk an old tome.
Silver comes in after you.
"Soothing?"
>>626684
"Then you're a fool.
Oh I know why you say that, you've heard the old rhetoric of Fire is afraid of nothing. But that's only a very basic grasp of the true inner workings of fire."
She scratches her chin.
"I suppose you do not know much of Lavan. Shall I explain to you what his aspect of fire is?"

Whistle to myself and start looking over the statues, before casting a glance down the stairs.

You could get one or more of those gems pretty easily.
The stairs itself is long. You see the bottom of the stairs from here.
>>626692
"Do you know anything about runes? We found a necklace and we want to know what it says."
One of the bookcases falls down on its own.
>>626693
"The other Fire Lords have told you about how Fire prizes individualism. But such is only half the truth.
A Will can hold strong or a will can bend. How do you think a Will will grow the strongest?"

Get jewing.

You set to work.
You manage to get '1d8' gems worth 40 silver.
>>626698
"Uh….Amber still has it…"
The books start to tremble.
>>626699
"That's what most would say. But it is wrong, that only requires Will. It does not strengthen it. Why? Because all of us only do things we ourselves want to do. That's all good and dandy, but when do we truly strengthen our Will? When somepony else makes us do something we don't want to. And despite all our objections we break through and do it anyway. That is Lavan, he is authority, to use our poor language to describe something so multifaceted, incarnate. Fire is not just about Will, it is also about bending it. Through bending our own Will, we become stronger of Will. Through learning what bends our own Will, we can bend the Will of others, which is at all times the nature of Fire."

Geometrical, but parts of it have broken off.
You don't see much yet.
>>626709
The tome on the desk is not flying towards you, but the ruined ones in the shelves are still trembling.
You could grab it quick if you want.
There's a title on it with just a name. "Piesmith." and something you can't translate next to it.
>>626710
Extra AD for cute roleplaying.
The skeleton says nothing.
But you hear a fillies crying voice saying behind you. "Mommy, you scare me."

You step down and end up in a large chamber.
On altars near the walls you see mummified Griffons.
As you step in, torches spontaneously start burning a cold blue fire.
At the end of the room, there's a fully clad griffon skeleton in armor sitting lifelessly on a throne. His claws clasping a sword of Ysrim white metal.
>>626714
"We'll do it by infiltrating their secret temple and burning it to the ground."
>>626715
There's no one but you hear.
"We want to find daddy…"
But soon Silver shows up with Soothing.

You find Amber holding a skeleton.

Inferni screeches again.
The mare chuckles.
"Don't mind him, we have a history.
Now watch out we're here."
She stops you and points to a small building at the other end of the street.
>>626720
Yup.
Maybe you can come and get her.
>>626721
Silver shoots you an angry look.
>>626722
He puts a hoof on your shoulder.
"It's enough, Amber you did great."

There's a magical writing on it.

It is getting cold.
Iris and Indy are huddled together near a campfire.
Iris smiles as you approach.
"Did you find anything?"

Once you're outside Silver sits down.
"Amber, that skeleton of the mare we found, she wasn't a paladin."

You see a cellar window you could pick open without too much eyes seeing you.
