"It's been 4 days since we left Platina for the mountain range known as Förban Bergn. I've heard that's Old Griffic for 'cursed mountains'. So far Celestia's been smiling upon us. Four days of Sun and blue skies, we even saw a few deer! I dread the thought of venturing on those small mountain paths in the middle of a snowstorm. The guards in Platina told us that in a few weeks tops the mountain passes will become inaccessible, we have to get out of here before that!
Lokrivund itself has a very unpleasant history. Ferriro told me the Griffons believe that ages ago, during the War of the Gods, Lokrivund was a stronghold of Tirek's forces. The Ancients sieged it for a hundred years (that seems a bit exaggerated) before breaking through. After the fight, the Ancients buried the corpses of the defenders and their leader in the deepest halls of the place and left them to rot.
Professor Wallnut called the place a 'wound in the fabric of the arcane stream'. And that over the years many unruly students of the Academia made their way there. He also said it perfectly signifies the number 5, whatever that means."

It's been a long journey. Your hooves are deep in snow almost up to your knees. A cold wind is blowing even with the Sun shining brightly in the sky. It is noon as it finally comes into full view. The imposing walls of Lokrivund carved into the mountainside. It is still about a 20 minutes climb before you reach the gate to the inside. At this height, you have a beautiful view of the surrounding white mountains and valleys. In the distance you see dark clouds slowly coming towards you, it seems the good weather you've had so far might not last much longer. You don't want to be caught outside at this height during bad weather. According to the letter you received there's an abandoned Unicornian guard post nearby if you want to use it as a base of operations. You notice it a little further as you look over the mountainside.
It doesn't look like much. A small hovel made of wood, but the roof seems to be still intact. There's a little smoke coming from the chimney.

>>643846
You sneak closer.
Up close the hovel seems in a worse state than initially expected. There's several holes in the roof and walls, hastily patched up with wood and rocks. One of the windows has been removed and simply blocked with planks. There's some dark spots on the walls, as well as claw marks on the door.
There's voices inside, but too muffled to hear.

Silver is shaking the icicles from his armor.

>Window, even less stealthy but at least you'll know what's inside.
>There's a thinly covered hole in the roof which you guess goes to a small attic. Would be the easiest to listen and see what's going on inside but those planks might creak!
>You discover a cellar entrance under some snow, locked. Might be even safer if you open up the lock.

The inside is a bit more comfortable than the outside. There's a warm fire burning and some beds.
There's also a light blue stallion unicorn and a yellow mare unicorn.

NEW SCENE STARTS
https://youtu.be/igITnSPzZGQ?t=1m53s
The moment you step into Lokrivund the cold of outside disappears, replace with what under other circumstances might be a comfortable heat. You are immediately hit by the stench of a rotting cadaver. Not two meters in front of you, lays the remains of what seems to have been a living unicorn not too long ago. Parts of the body have been eaten and there's not much left if you wanted to get a closer look of what he or she might once have looked like.
The room is unbelievably high, you can barely see the ceiling in the darkness above. In the middle of the room is a large pit with a blue beam of light shining in the middle from deep below to a tiny hole in the ceiling.
There are 2 stairs going up as well as two going down, and a large door at the end of the entrance chamber.
You feel uncomfortable as if the walls themselves are watching you closely.
As long as you're in Lokrivund the TENSE campaign quality is active. (2 GM AD's spent)
Fear and tension grip the world. Stress damage is doubled and no character may take 10 with skill checks.

It's so dark here, you can't see the ceiling, and the shadows along the walls are pretty dark as well.
The moment you step into Lokrivund the cold of outside disappears, replace with what under other circumstances might be a comfortable heat. You are immediately hit by the stench of a rotting cadaver. Not two meters in front of you, lays the remains of what seems to have been a living unicorn not too long ago. Parts of the body have been eaten and there's not much left if you wanted to get a closer look of what he or she might once have looked like.
The room is unbelievably high, you can barely see the ceiling in the darkness above. In the middle of the room is a large pit with a blue beam of light shining in the middle from deep below to a tiny hole in the ceiling.
There are 2 stairs going up as well as two going down, and a large door at the end of the entrance chamber.
You feel uncomfortable as if the walls themselves are watching you closely.

Silver kills off the red bleeder while you smack around the blue Griffling.

Victory is yours!

>A stuffed Wolf (200g)
A light burns from the upper floor. A voice calls out to you.
"Heroes, come forward. I wish to speak to you…"

You enter the Lokrivund Tower.
This room is small with a checkered floor. The place seems dirty and falling apart.
Littered with skeletons who died long ago.
One part of the room is however, stainless. A white wall with a gate that seems to have been built inside the room.
Before it stands an armored glowing alicorn pony, shining like the Sun.
Her glowing eyes follow you as step inside the room.
It is also very hot in here, which doesn't bother Mabel but might be uncomfortable for Soothing.
She is armored and has a burning claymore in her hooves.
You may roll a knowledge check to guess what she is.

Rule adjustments
Player-created NPCs
Player-created NPCs now carry items according to their carrying capacity.
The items NPCs carry they merely carry, they cannot be used for attacking or boosting stats. Non-combat items can be used or consumed by the NPC if the PC who created it is close by and in view and the player wants it to be used.
The items an NPC actually uses to attack or boost stats must be graded according to complexity and have an XP cost. These items the NPC can use at any time.
Starvation and thirst
Food and Drink consumption will be tracked from now on. Here's a review of the rules:
An active character needs 3 common meals each day (see page 165). At the start of the 4th and each subsequent day a character goes without this minimum sustenance, he makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1 per previous save). With failure, he becomes fatigued and suffers 1d6 lethal damage + an additional 1d4 lethal damage per day he’s gone without food. The character may not lose the fatigued condition until he consumes at least 1 day’s necessary nourishment.
Likewise, an active character requires 1 quart of fluids per day, or 2 quarts per day when exposed to any heat over 32°C. At the start of each day a character goes without these minimum fluids, he makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1 per previous save). With failure, he becomes fatigued and suffers 1d6 lethal damage + an additional 1d4 lethal damage per day he’s gone without fluids. The character may not lose the fatigued condition until he drinks at least 1 day’s necessary fluids.

Your armor and weapon dmg will be tracked from now on. This rule mostly applies to your damage since that takes the brunt of the beatings. On the quicksheets you can see the number of damage saves your item has. When an item has received significant damage the following roll is made. 1d20+Damage Save Bonus vs DC 10+1/2damage inflicted.
With a fail, you lose one damage save. Lose all damage saves and your weapon/armor/item is broken and becomes unusable.
At the end of each adventure I'll reset the item damage to 0, but I won't reset the item damage saves. These must be repaired. Just repairing damage saves takes 1/10th of the item cost. If the item is broken however, it will cost 1/2 of the item cost. People with crafting can attempt to repair items themselves.

Rule adjustments
Player-created NPCs
Player-created NPCs now carry items according to their carrying capacity.
The items NPCs carry they merely carry, they cannot be used for attacking or boosting stats. Non-combat items can be used or consumed by the NPC if the PC who created it is close by and in view and the player wants it to be used.
The items an NPC actually uses to attack or boost stats must be graded according to complexity and have an XP cost. These items the NPC can use at any time.
Starvation and thirst
Food and Drink consumption will be tracked from now on. Here's a review of the rules:
An active character needs 3 common meals each day (see page 165). At the start of the 4th and each subsequent day a character goes without this minimum sustenance, he makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1 per previous save). With failure, he becomes fatigued and suffers 1d6 lethal damage + an additional 1d4 lethal damage per day he’s gone without food. The character may not lose the fatigued condition until he consumes at least 1 day’s necessary nourishment.
Likewise, an active character requires 1 quart of fluids per day, or 2 quarts per day when exposed to any heat over 32°C. At the start of each day a character goes without these minimum fluids, he makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1 per previous save). With failure, he becomes fatigued and suffers 1d6 lethal damage + an additional 1d4 lethal damage per day he’s gone without fluids. The character may not lose the fatigued condition until he drinks at least 1 day’s necessary fluids.

ADDENDUM
Item identification
New rare items or weapons that are found are unidentified.
There are 2 ways to identify an item.
1. Using skills or spells, people who have the Crafting skill can do an Identify check to discover all qualities and spells of the weapon. There are also spells with the same result.
2. Using it. You can use the weapon or item and see what it does. Mind you, in certain cases this might not reveal all qualities of the weapon at once. A magical weapon that has a spell that needs to be activated won't show up for example.

"It's been an hour since Poor and the others left for Lokrivund. The storm outside has been consistently getting worse, I can barely see the entrance to Lokrivund, even though it's close by. This place is creaking and I know there's a hole in the roof, but somehow it's warm in here. I figure it might be some old Unicornian magic. And thank Celestia for it, this storm is mean. And weirdly enough, I could have sworn I heard neighing in the wind just now. I hope the others come back soon. This place is giving me the shivers." - Iris' Diary, 5th of Frostfall
You're once again in the Entrance Hall. The Watcher has told you a crystal pony has entered Lokrivund merely a day ago, who might be related to the letter that led you here in the first place. In addition she requested you'd defeat the Lord of Lamentation.
You can take one of the stairs back up, or go down into the depths.
The heat in the Watcher's Tower has made you thirsty.
You all haven't eaten yet today and are starting to get hungry.
There's a bow here, left behind as loot from your last battle.

Ambient Light: Dim Light (Vision - 20ft.; +2 to Defense).
As you descend down the stairs the smell of smoke hits your noses. At the bottom of the stairs is an unusual sight. Numerous empty library racks. Some have been moved or pushed over. Some are half burned. In the middle of the room is an empty spot full of ash on the floor. The walls are black, stained with smoke. At the back is an empty water fountain. Some parts of the library racks occasionele light up and a ghostly white book appears with white flames around it.
There's several of these "ghost books" in the library at any one moment. Flickering in, lingering for a few seconds or minutes and slowly fading away again.

The library itself contains an air of magic, but very hollow, like an echo. The only real active magic you sense, is not at the books, but at the dry water fountain.
You don't think it's a spell, but you remember the words of the Watcher that bad things leave a mark for a long time. Old books, especially magical tomes tend to have a life and a magic of their own. So many burned here, there's still an imprint of them left. You wonder who could have burned all those powerful tomes? The Tirekians to hide their knowledge? Or the paladins, destroying unholy scripture? The answer is unclear.
You do get an idea that you might be able to extract some lost knowledge from these flickers of memories. But you'd need time to concentrate. Perhaps something for on the way back?

You could use a Sneak roll to avoid the light beam and go further but that would still leave the trap intact if the others go in, if you warn them they'd still need to pass a Sneak check to bypass the trap. Or you could try to Disable it, but a fail could trigger the trap…

MINI BOSS: KRILL
Sleeping at the table up to a few moments ago is a large Griffon unlike any you've seen before.
His feathers are grey and old, but he moves with remarkable speed. His fur is covered in seaweed and cabarnacles, stinking of rotting plants in seawater. His eyes bulge out, full of blood red veins.
The sight is somewhat unnerving, this is not just another Griffon standing before you.
Horror
The NPC has an alien appearance or psychology that undermines an observer’s psyche. Any character other than one of the NPC’s teammates who see it suffers a –3 morale penalty with Will saves. Natural animals refuse to attack the NPC and often flee from it unless they’re trained to attack horrors or they’re attacked by the NPC or its teammates. The NPC is extremely resilient to injury, gaining a +4 bonus with Fortitude saves. Threat ranges of attacks made against it decrease by 2 and it suffers only 1/2 normal sneak attack damage (rounded down). A horror ages and must eat, sleep, and breathe.

Sorry, nevermind.
Just remembered, see Horror
Threat ranges of attacks made against it decrease by 2 and it suffers only 1/2 normal sneak attack damage
That would be 19 to Threat then.
Indy steps forward and bites the Griffon, shaking him around before spitting him back to the ground.

Ferriro said that the Salt Griffons are raiding more and more of Hyperborea as time goes on, though this one in particular seems like he's been here a long time and not affiliated with the raiders.

You have defeated the horrific Griffon Krill. On top of some loot, you found a female Griffling working in a makeshift kitchen nearby.
She's told you that her tribe would help you if you brought her back to them.

You follow the Griffling through the dinner room, the worship chamber and into the crumbled wall.
After walking five minutes in this cold cave you encounter a small stream and see fires up ahead.
There's a small Griffling village here, with large nests made in the cave walls.
You encounter a first patrol upon a large watch tower who sounds a horn as you approach.
There's wounded grifflings being tended to at the base of the watch tower.
you recognize them as the Grifflings that attacked you all earlier.

A large group of Grifflings arrive and surround you all. Some take position on the watchtower and nearby elevated ledges.

The female Griffling talks to one of the warriors and disappears behind enemy lines.
A few agonizing minutes pass as the Grifflings stare you down, before the female Griffling shows again and waves to you.
"Come, you may enter our village."
The Grifflings move aside to give you access, but don't sheath their weapons.

Imagine Grifflings like Griffon-like Goblins, big chickens in a way.
You slowly make your way past them into the village, closely follower by the large group of Grifflings who came up to your back.
Here in the village you see more female Grifflings and children. The females are cooking or tending to wounded warriors. There's a LOT of wounded warriors here, far more than you attacked and their wounds and burn marks look very fresh as well.
Finally the female Griffling comes to a Griffling sitting on a small stone throne. They hug and talk in hushed tones.
Besides him sits a very old Griffling in a robe, he looks at you with weary eyes.
The female Griffling turns to you.
"This is my father, our chieftain."

"No, the ponies before you did much more damage. You, you've killed Krill and freed our village from his grip, we are in your debt, allow us to present you a gift."
He nods to the old Griffling besides him who slowly opens his bag and presents a silver band decorated with 2 snakes encircling one another.

"It's not just a silver band." says the old Griffon. "This band improves the ability of any one who wears it to convince another by words alone."
The chieftain coughs. "You would go the same way the other ponies did?" He looks towards Amber "One of them looked like your companion, but less…shining? more the opposite."

"It is our honor to give it to you. You have saved our village after all."
The old Griffon continues "Our forefathers settled in these caves long ago as slaves of the wicked Griffons, after their defeat we persevered in these caves for ages. Until Krill came, he used his wicked magic to subordinate us and took members of our chieftains family as hostages, ever since we were forced to do his bidding."

"I'm afraid I don't know much of the temple, we stay here or when Krill commanded, we guarded the entrance to the temple. The only way forward is through the secret passage beyond the fountain in the library….alas, we do not know the password, only Krill did."
The female griffon waves. "But I have heard Krill speak it. It is "Lofa Lokri" and the statue will move aside to reveal a way forward."
The chieftain continues. "The previous ponies I speak of, went there merely a day ago, how they knew how to pass, I do not know. There was one pony shining like the yellow pony, two ponies without any wings or horns…and one pony, crippled, wearing a mask and without color."

"Have horned ponies been inside the temple today?"
"Yesterday, three of them entered the entrance, we were about to ambush them per Lord Krill's orders, but…they vanished."
"Krill, not Lord Krill, that's over for now! And what do you mean they vanished?"
"They stepped inside and simply disappeared, my Chief. It was like those other ponies we saw a few months ago, the colorless ponies. They appeared for a moment and then vanished."
The chieftain scratches his chin. "That's right, those colorless ponies who came, they looked a bit like the masked colorless pony who came yesterday, I didn't make the connection until now. Did you see those 3 unicornin mages again?"
"Yes, during a break, one of our scouts suddenly found the body of one of them, and traces showing they fled the temple towards the little house out there. We have no idea what happened, my Chief. It was too spooky!"

Very little actually.
Pariahs are a Crystal Empire legend.
The legends tell of Crystal Ponies that reject the Crystal Heart and are banished from the Empire. They thrive on hate and seek to destroy the Crystal Empire. Supposedly they lived in the Crystal Mountains but in the time inbetween the disappearance and reappearance of the Empire no Pariah was ever sighted.
You did read a very interesting article once in a mage acedemy journal. A study into the old Pariah legends shows that inbetween the disappearance and return of the Crystal Empire, a millenium apart, there were 5 expiditions in the Crystal mountains that failed to return or only a few surviving members returned, their accounts tell of strange crystals in the mountains that opened gateways to other, horrible planes of existance. Canterlot Academy expeditions failed to discover any evidence of these tales however.
>>648207
You think back…and remember that back in the Crossing, when you defeated the undead griffons, you found a strange chest, in this chest was an invitation card to the wedding of Infinite Justice and Ice, two Paladins of legend, you met Ice in MH1 remember? But Infinite Justice was supposed to be dead, his paldin partner Ice left behind in sadness.

Sigh.
This is going to draw some flak from Silver, maybe from Amber too.
"What if he is the Pariah?"
Let's recap. It's been a long while since Ponyville in MH1 so I'll retell the legend of Infinite Justice and Clouded Ice.
When the Crystal Empire reappeared, when Amber and Silver were merely foals, Infinite Justice and Clouded Ice were one of the few crystal paladins that survived Sombra's purges.
Infinite Justice was a Crystal Pegasus. One of the few crystal ponies that had wings, he used a large crystal warhammer in battle. And Ice has a Zweihander. They were paladin partners.
When Cadance became the new Princess they swore fealty to her and became the first Lords of Justice.
During the Changeling invasion of the fledgeling Empire, when Amber and Silver where barely teens, they became legends, fighting the Changelings with a zeal rarely seen. They led a small strike force into Changeling Queen's Semiramis' Hive. Only Ice came out, a broken pony.
Infinite Justice was declared dead and a national day of mourning was held in the Empire. To this day there's a statue of both of them in the capital.
>>648214
"…I-Impossible…" says Silver.

Silver scrunches.
"….Amber…maybe this is the time to tell you…when I said I didn't believe in the existance of Priah's..I was lying…I saw one when I was a foal…"
>>648222
Silver sits down on his haunches and sighs.
"A thousand years ago, before the disappearance of the Empire, I was simply a foal in Silverville.
Our town was quite close to the Crystal Mountains.
I never believed in the tales of the Pariahs. But one night, there was a particularly strong cold wind blowing from the mountains.
Our mansion was creaking and the wind was howling. I couldn't sleep at all.
I went down our house to get a glass of water. While I got a glass of water from our water pool I looked outside the window…and I saw a pony outside. Simply staring inside from our garden. It looked like nothing I'd ever seen before. I wanted to run to my parents, but one of our servants, Gemworth found me and told me to not talk of all this. That the pony would go away if I ignored it…so I did…"

"you don't know what you're talking about.

>>648227
"I know..I want to fight them, end their threat…but I'm fully aware they're the most dangerous enemy of the Crystal ponies."
>>648228
Silver scrunches.

When I look at you, I sense the same thing I felt when seeing that Pariah.
you may hide it, but there's an evil inside you!"

"Don't deny it!
There's something different about you, I doubted it a long time but not anymore. I have sensed what deity you worship and it's not just fire, it's the enemy of Love, the Black Light.
The only reason I haven't smited you yet is because you've proven to be a friend. "

"Remember the stanza's in the Codex Cadanza, our holy book? The passage about Blacklight? This Black Light fought Cadance, defied her! And Cadance taught Black Light a lesson! That's why he hates us. That's why Black light created all the Pariahs! Black Light is our enemy!"

Silver scrunches.
"So you admit it?!?"

But if you're really going to visit him, I want you to take me and Amber with us, so we can see for ourselves what he is, and make no mistake, if he's the demon we think he is, we'll smite him back to Tirek!"

If he kills me regardless, could you honestly worship him?"

Last time we left off, you found yourselves within Lokrivund, an abandoned fort-monastery in the wild mountains of Hyperborea.
You had come here because of a strange letter you found some time ago near the Crossing. A mock invitation to a wedding of the deceased Infinite Justice, a great crystal paladin hero. So far you have met a Watcher, a great solar angel who has warned you a powerful demon lurks within the deepest pits of Lokrivund.
You've passed through the first two levels into the deeps below.

As you go down the stairs, you hear a loud explosion coming from not too far from you. The building shudders and piles of dust trip down on you from the ceiling.
This next room is small compared to the last level. The main feature is a large square pool in the middle with slightly glowing blue water.
From the passage to the north, you hear faint voices.

You both perk your ears and listen in.
There's two voices:
A high, somewhat faint voice, as if the speaker has to strain himself to produce sound.
"-leared the blockade. We're going now into the heart of Lokrivund. Warped architecture, demonic entities-"
A second, deeper, raspier voice interrupts:
"Yes, yes, I have been in places like that before. Are you sure it's there? This ugum?"
"The Iugum, yes I'm quite sure."
You haven't been near the passage yet so you can't see up.
You do hear other sounds, like there's a number of ponies up there.
>>649229
>>649230
That this pool is magical, you have no doubt. The water is very clear and has an unusually, but pleasant, blue color.
But you're not sure of the effects. You could roll again to determine, but your Error range to identify would increase by 2 for every try.

The strained voice continues.
"I sense hesitation within you, Samedi. Is your previous life haunting you?"
"….that's not my name."
"It is now. Samedi, for this to work, you have to renounce your previous life, once and for all!"
>>649234
Nope, doesn't ring a bell.
>>649235
>>649233
You discover there's some kind of spell on the water. Drinking the water gives you extra energy, recovering some Vitality, however it also makes you more stressed, incurring some stress damage from drinking.
>>649238
You remember something in the Paladin Academy. In a lesson on the Elements of Harmony, the prof called the jewel in them an Iugum, a magical gem that binds with the holders of the Elements.
>>649237
You sneak into the corridor and step forward. Up front you see two ponies, a grey one with a mask in black and white and a green one with black hair in crystal armor not unlike Amber's.
There's also a few ponies digging into something near them.

"Let's just get this over with, old mare!"
"Indeed. Mardi..we proceed!"
From an alcove not far from you, a hidden mare jumps into the corridor. She's orange with a red mane and wears a silver necklace with a jewel similar to her cutie mark. She's carrying a scythe on her back.
'Hollow, I think I heard something down here. Maybe your guests have arrived after all?"
The grey pony:"If they did, they're late to the party. It is no matter, Big Bang will blow up that corridor as we go down."

For all of you still in the room with the fountain, you hear exactly 5 explosions, tearing down the middle of the corridor up north and blocking it.
An enormous cloud of dust and stone pours out. Indy pulls his head out, completely covered in dust.
He sneezes a few times, coughing flames in random directions.
After a few agonizing seconds, Mabel steps out as well. Completely black from the dust and the fire, but without any permanent wounds.
She only gains '1d6' stress dmg.

You lose track of gravity for a second as you tumble through space.
Then with a smack you land upon a floor. The floor has a black white pattern. Besides this floor, there's nothing, just a very colorful sky. You're not sure what you'd see if you looked down at the edge, but probably more colors and a confirmation that this floor is simply floating in it.

A critical hit has the following effects:
Special Character: The attacker may spend 1 action die to apply the damage directly to the target’s wounds, ignoring any remaining vitality. Alternately, if the damage exceeds the target’s Constitution score, the attacker may spend 2 action dice to inflict a critical injury, as shown on Table 5.1: The Table of Ouch.
Standard Character or Object:The attacker may spend 1 to 4 action dice to cause the target to automatically fail the same number of Damage saves. In the case of most standard targets, 1 action die is enough to knock them out of the fight (see Injury and Death, page 206).
