2 weeks later…..
A new day dawns in Vilitus but things don't seem quite right.
All through town there are reports of an unidentified illness. Those infected report headaches, dizziness, vomiting and worse.
For all of you however, this is simply more rumors.
Another day begins…
Ambrosia
You wake up in your bed within the Bureau.
Today you have a special assignment to guard Lord Golden Puzzle during a meeting.
That's only this afternoon. You're free to do what you want in the meantime.
Moon Wok
You wake up in the base in the sewers. Today is an important day for the Heralds. It seems that today, the Prophet will start the next phase, whatever that means. Pine wishes to speak to you.
Grey Leg.
Today's the day Green Tea leaves the hospital and you can show her the fully furnished house you worked for.
Soubernig
You wake up in the base.
Calls are being made, seems like you'll have to leave soon again. One of your friends in the gang (of Blood Diamond) named Grovel wakes you up.
"Time to move. Seems like somethings big going on."
Hokkaido
You wake up in the hotel.
Blood Diamond has scheduled a meeting, yet you don't know the particulars so far.
It seemed serious.

The hospital is quite busy with all these new arrivals. The most diverse patients are brought in, all species, social classes, districts. It seems none are safe.
Green Tea herself tries to stay away from the patients and comes to hug you. '1d10+2'
She seems very healthy again.
>>495713
She's working as usual.
"Yes?"
>>495726
You are in the base of the thugs employed by Mr. Blood Diamond, in your bunk. There's a lot of chaos as fellow henches are called out of their bunks and have to prepare.
Your friend named Grovel says "Time to move. Seems like somethings big going on."
Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

"I…I don't know what to say…."
>>495759
"We'll have to see when we get there. But I've got a feeling I know already who did it."
You, Grovel and a few others start moving towards the raided warehouse.
>>495763
"I've been assigned some very delicate duties. Some extracts and preparations that require a steady hoof and lots of time. Open your mouth please."
"I…I don't know what to say…."

"Who says I'm playing?"
She checks your throat. "Mmmmh. Fine close again. Perk your ears."
>>495784
The inside is nicely furnished and much larger than your old home.
There are even some tasteful paintings on the walls. Cherry and Tony come happily to greet her and while hugging them she remarks "Grey…this is so…beautiful."

"You flatterer…. What's the bedroom like~"
>>495795
She checks your ears. "Looks okay, you might want to clean them a bit more, but nothing seems wrong. Time to listen to your lungs."
She listens with a stethoscope.
"A pirate assassin? Now I've heard everything."
>>495801
You reach the warehouse in the Diamond District. All the loot is burned and the warehouse is severely damaged. There are multiple charred corpses of dead gang members.
Grovel sneezes. "They didn't even take the drugs, they just burned all of it and killed everyone to leave a message."

"I wonder how comfortable it is~"
>>495832
"Mmmmh. Well you seem healthy. Why don't you just keep the fake eye in? Must be uncomfortable to take it out and in all the time."
>>495834
The fire has cleared away most of the clues.
"I think I know who did it." says Grovel. "Not the guys who did it, but the donkey who ordered it, Javier."

>>495850
"But how else would we test that bed?"
>>495853
"Noted. Now let's discuss that disease. First of all, we're not really sure what it is, or where it comes from. It seems too strike randomly and it doesn't seem magical in nature."
>>495860
Grovel whispers. "Another gang leader who's been giving the boss trouble. This isn't the first attack of his, seems like he wants to take over.
We can't attack Javier for now, but maybe we can find who did this and bring their heads back to the boss?"

"We could go talk to some ponies…make them spill the beans."
>>495872
"I could…"
Her hoof slips down your body as she looks in your eyes.
"Or we could improvise something~"
>>495875
"Spreading fast. But we have no clue how it spreads, some ponies are infected without anyone else in their household being infected. And this whole thing works in the favor of one of those creepy cults, they've been preaching a plague for weeks now."

"I wouldn't know about that. But take care out there and be sure to let me know the moment you feel a headache. Even a light one. I can't predict how your 300 year old immune system would react to it. With some luck you're completely immune."
>>495888
Kissu kissu '1d10+2'
>>495894
No ponies to see.
There's a bar called "The Solution" across the street, someone must have seen something there.
Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Slink out of bed, then. Sewers… eh, I've slept in worse, but I'd rather sleep out under the stars. That'd probably seem suspicious, though. Whatever. I wonder if the stars at night are the same ones I could see back home… Maybe I'm just waxing nostalgic.
Speaking of wax, off to find Pine.

>>498587
Can you read minds? The kissu seems off in any case.
She looks over the appartment. "It's been a long time since I've been in the Snake District….I should start to make some new friends here…now I can actually go out without being afraid somepony will drag me into some alley!" She seems genuinely happy.
>>498588
He finishes the tune and looks over to you.
"Good morning."
>>498589
You find her in the Chapel Hall. There is an extraordinary amount of activity going on. Ponies are passing around armor, weapons, furniture, food is being prepared.
Pine nods as she sees you.
"Moon. We got a lead. I think we might finally be able to track down Otsuro. And not a damn moment too soon." She adds.

>>498594
She touches your cheek with one hoof.
"Grey, I've had a lot of time to think while in the hospital…You do so much for me, I don't want you to carry all that responsibility all by yourself, I should carry my own weight…"
There's a nervous giggle.
"I'm not sure what to do yet. I'm not good at anything except taking care of the house."

>>498602
It's been a very busy couple of weeks.
They needed you for lots of things. Quite frankly you might be surprised these peons managed to actually find Otsuro. Only Pine might seem halfway decent.
She has definately gotten used to your silent ways.
She grabs a black axe with unusual green glowing runes on it. "One of the designs of the Prophet, it's supposed to be able to slice through those spirit things like butter.
I've commissioned some gauntlets similar in design." She points towards the gauntlets. "Take them with you, if you want them and we can get going."
She attaches the heft of her axe on her back.
>>498599
"I know~. But I'm starting to feel guilty…you're too good for me."
>>498601
He nods.
"Soothing. Emotional. Passionate."
>>498600
You slam the door open and see him trying to climb out of the back window. You grab him and slam his head a few times against the toilet. Grovel meanwhile tells the customers to stay out and locks the door.
The stallion is bleeding out the nose already.

"And I love you too much to not help you, in any way I can."
Kissu? '1d10+2'
>>498605
"There are smaller ones, and money shouldn't be a problem now.
I'd love a partner
to play music with."
>>498606
After you smash his head against the toilet for a few times he becomes talkative.
He works for a griffon called Bjorn. This stallion, the griffon and a couple of friends set it on fire.
But Bjorn was the one in charge. Bjorn was working for someone else though…"
Grovel gets out a gun.
"You or me?"
Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Makes sense. In any case, I'll silently slide my hooves into the gauntlets. Flex. Get the feel of them. Are they heavy? How much weight to them? How much give does the metal have? Will they be able to take my beating?
Survey them closely. How is the craftsmanship? '1d10'

"I'm looking forward to it."
He puts the flute next to him.
"Do you know about the mission of this afternoon already?"
>>498609
Oh my, such kissu~
She rests her head on your chest for a second, enjoying the closeness.
"Maybe I should ask Morgana if she knows something…"
>>498610
As you fit the gauntlets around your hooves, there's a click and some invisible mechanism inside the gloves moves the plates, fitting it completely around your hooves like a second skin. They are suprisingly light, you barely feel them around your hooves anymore.. The metal is black and you can't quite identify the material. It seems similar to the material of the Black Sarcophagus in the Chapel. Inbetween the plates there's a faint green glow of something underneath them you can't see.
They're decorated with strange glowing green runes. Most prominently is the same green rune you've seen used by the Heralds insignia.
As it fits around your hoof the rune lights up brighter.
>>498611
Click and the whole floor is dirty with splattered brains.
Grovel kicks him again. "Little piece of shit."
He looks back to you."Let's find that griffon and clip his wings."

"Well, I don't know all the details.
But it's going to be big. The Master and Golden Puzzle will both be there as well."
>>498614
"It's a new neighboorhood, a new house, a fresh start. Besides if I make some money, you can get some vacation once in a while~"
>>498615
She nods back and enters the tunnel to the sewers.
>>498616
"Might be even better if we just go get the guys and get Bjorn. You know how the boss is, he'd just ask us why we're not there bashing that griffons face in."
He grins.

>>498621
You get several peons to join you and get ready to travel to find the son of a bitch.
>>498622
"Well then, today might be your lucky day…We'll have to see what the mission is first though…if it is really big, we might not meet for a while."
>>498623
Through the sewers you know so well by now, you both emerge into a large wooden house. Very large, you estimate 2 houses could fit in this one storage. It seems to have been abandoned for quite a while however. The wood is rotting and creaks, there are signs of rats everywhere. A few rays of sunlight shine from holes in the ceiling.
On some of the wall you see neighponese characters however those are new.

>>498627

>>498628
You're in luck. He's in a restaurant getting some hamburgers.
He's alone it seems.
And you're with 6 heavily armed mean dogs.
>>498629
As you step a hoof forward the walls ripple and ethereal ponies step out, their dead eyes fixed on both of you.
"Here they come" says Pine.

"Right."
She seems in thought for a second.
And then looks up
"So shouldn't we invite everypony for a house warming party?" she says cheerfully.
>>500898
You enter the Masters Office.
Lord Golden Puzzle is there as well. Sitting on a chair in the corner.
The Master sits at his desk, Nightshade sits on a chair near him.
There are two empty seats left.
Whisper bows his head before the Master and Lord Golden Puzzle and takes a seat.

The Master coughs.
"There are important matters to discuss, so I'll dispense with the pleasantries.
About 5 hours ago, one of our main supply depots got raided. The present crew got killed, the place itself turned to ash.
This is not the first such attack, yet this the most agressive one yet.
All our sources point to a new upstart donkey in the Snake District, who calls himself, Javier…"
>>500918
"I'll maka a list, oh and we have to get the greatest invitations!"
She trots to the living room.
"Oh Grey, I think you forgot an evelope here on the table! Shall I open it?"
The Master coughs.

"Why Blood Diamond? Why aren't we being sent directly at the donk?"
The Master looks towards him. "Never let a crisis go to waste. Blood Diamond has been hit even worse than us, he'll be looking for potential allies, and it would be good to have him in our pocket…"
>>500952
"Oh…okay."
She starts rummaging.
"Do you think Don Juan and Deep will want to come too? How are they anyway?"
The message reads.
[Dear Mister Leg,
I hope the package has been delivered and is to your satisfaction.
The other part of the delivery will have to be given in person however.
Please meet me near Adder Plaza, in the Snake District.

"I bet they will. Glass was a bit freaked out last time I saw him, but I think that's just the stress. He isn't as lucky as me to have a perfect mare like you make him relax."
Chuckle, then fold the letter.
"I have to run and do something real quick, honey. Shouldn't take too long, why don't you get familiar with the house in the meantime?"

"You, Echo, will accompany us to the meeting as additional security. During the meeting, after some discussion, we'll have it arranged so that you will help Blood Diamonds forces with the hit on Javier.
While you're there, you should evaluate Blood Diamonds operations, probe for weaknesses. We expect daily reports to be dropped at droppoint 5. If necessary, you will also find additional orders there.
Any questions?"
>>500971
"Of course, sweetie, I'll have it prepped up completely by the time you get back!"
Kissu?

>>501047
"Good afternoon, sir.
Have you heard already about the Heralds of…
Grey?!?"
It's Deep.
"Wow, I didn't know you lived here right now!"
He's wearing a black gown with a green mark of the Heralds on it.

"Whisper isn't going with you as well. He has another mission, that's what the talk over there is for."
>>501067
"Oh right, riiiiiight, sorry bro, you know my memory isn't what it used to be." He giggles.

"Uuh….if you want, I could pass some messages between you two while on mission, just put them with your reports and I'll make sure to get them out before the Master sees it. Just…make sure you eat them right after eat them."

"I'm a changed stallion. The words of the Prophet have changed my life. I've stopped it all. Drugs, Drinking,… I'm merely a humble servant of the New Gods now."

"A young donk, making his way in the world. A bit agressive, but that's to be expected when they still have to prove themselves. Another detail, he's a mindreader I've heard. Grey Splinter is trying to find out more about him, but with little success so far. Guy's a ghost. Like he just popped out of thin air."
>>501161
You go for the house wearing your cobra mask. The guards guide you in. But you enjoy the tiny nervousness on their faces.
In a room overlooking the plaza you find a stallion wearing a dark suit and smoking a cigarette overlooking the plaza.
"Mr Grey."

"Of course. Up till now, you have always been a lone wolf. However, certain….circumstances have left me in need of a pony who can not only kill, but who can, however temporarily ally himself with others to achieve a goal."
He turns back to the window.
"And I thought of you, mister Grey."
>>501338
He shakes his head.
"Not likely."
Nightshade coughs.

YOU'RE HELPLESS
Anyway, you struggle a bit with the griffon until your compadres come to secure him.
The griffon is in custody.
Grovel helps you up.

"Javier is a relatively new arrival to this town, but he's already made quite a name for himself, he managed to acquire an enormous amount of gems somewhere. He uses it to try and carve out his little crime empire and he's rustling some feathers while he does it.
The perfect opportunity to take him down and acquire a lot of money in the process if I could find out where the money is."

You can talk to Whisper-kun.
Look, he's coming back.
The Master nods.
"I expect everypony ready to leave within 30 minutes."
>>501399
"Exactly. But I do not believe Javier will go down easily. So you will provide with some backup. And when you find Javier, you may either secure him and bring him to me or simply make sure he lives long enough for you to beat it out of him. However, I'd rather make sure our partners know nothing of the money."

"Your call. There is a second part to the equation however.
I have gathered intel that suggests the Heralds are interested in him as well.
Apparently he got something they want, whatever that is, I want it too.
At any price, this is even far more important than the money.
Find out, secure it, and bring it to our dear Morgana, she'll know what to do next. "
>>501408
"Seems like I don't accompany you after all, not immediately."

Nightshade rolls her eyes.
"Right, if you lovebirds are done, I need to get some work done quickly."
>>501440
You start smacking the shit out of him.
To speed things up, are both of you okay with me quickly cutscening the griffons confession, the attachment of Razortail and go directly to the meeting?

Nightshade attaches the blades into the hair of your tail, completely retractable.
Your tail looks normal until its too late.
Razortail: This exotic weapon can be used to attack while helpless. It's attacks are Instant.
>>501452
You soon beat the truth out of him.
He works for the donkey called Javier, working to take over Diamonds operations.
When you go to report this to your boss, he merely says that he already expected so.
He needs you to come with him to a meeting with another Duke, as guard.
Everyone ready for the meeting?

Everyone ready for the meeting?
All of you go to the Vulture District, moving through the tight alleys, Belsournigs group with Diamond arrives first (and Hokkaido if Knight shows up) in a small square surrounded by houses but no windows facing here, nor are there any ponies here. There's only an abandoned well in the middle.
Patiently waiting until Golden Puzzle and Ambrosia arrive.
Diamond and Puzzle greet each other as friends.
Out of the shadows arrives another group, Mr Chill, smoking a cigaretty, his guards and a masked pony.
Both Dukes show a hint of surprise.
"Mr. Chill, how unexpected of you to join us"
Chill merely nods.
"We have business to discuss, gentlecolts."

They turn to each other.
Diamond starts "Puzzle, you know why I am here. I have aided you many times in the past, and now I need yours. This donkey is growing beyond our control."
He nods towards Chill. "Surely the arrival of Mr. Chill shows how serious this matter is. He has considerable resources and he won't stop at me."
Puzzle looks over. "But why couldn't you nip him in the bud, while he was still small?"
Diamond snorts "This rat was never "small". He suddenly was here and he suddenly had a legion of henches to do his bidding."
Puzzle smiles slyly. "Seems more like you haven't been keeping watch of your territory."
Diamond gives him an icy look and opens his mouth…
"Gentlecolts" interrupts Chill "Let's not fight amongst ourselves now. We all want to get rid of the donkey, me included. But there is more than just killing him. Somepony gave him the reources to do this, we need to find out who."
Diamond nods. Puzzle coughs "We have a common interest in getting to the core of this. I propose we assemble a team to infiltrate Javiers operation and get to the bottom of it."
The 3 nod. Diamond seems relieved.
Chill points to the masked pony.
"Allow me to introduce my contribution to the team. A true professional. Nopony within Javiers operation will be able to stop him."
They turn to each other.

There's a large room with a desk.
Behind the desk is a golden throne shaped remarkably like mares carrying a seat and somehow that seat also has a mare motif.
Next to the desk is a hot tub filled with pretty mares, they stop playing as they see you and start screaming their lungs out.

You walk over to the desk but as you touch it you are thrown back by an electric shock. A magic bubble forms around the desk, the windows, the hot tub and the chair, shutting you off from them.
As you fly back, you crash through the double doors again.
There's already a detachment of armed griffons coming through the hallway "Get them alive! Javier wants them alive."
>>502616
the security system triggers magic bubbles as detailed above. You're unable to harm them.
One of them even sticks out her tongue at you

You smash another few and are safely bubbled.
>>502641
>>502637
Ambrosia quickly and nimbly jumps over a few of the griffons. As it seems she's in the clear, walking next to the open door, a giant rotting hoof suddenly comes out of the nearby door and grabs you by the neck.
A giant stallion, pieced together from dead pieces of flesh and what seems like black metal parts and pieces in his hooves and head walks out. On his back he carries a metal tank with wires piercing all over his body.
Before you can say anything a blade burst from his hoof and he pierces you with it, before throwing your body across the hall back to the desk. You're helpless.
He then looks towards the bubbled Belsournig and fires a metal ball from his other hoof.
Your bubble pops.
The unholy fusion of metal and decayed flesh blocks passage in the hallway.

"I was hoping you'd feel up for it.
You see, in the Vulture District lives a merchant named Load O'mone, a Diamond Dog who used to explore the far reaches of the Vilitus Desert. He's retired now and has a small antique shop. But I've learned he has an artifact he found that isn't for sale.
I know a guy who would pay a good sum for that artifact. We split it and instead of beer we can drink 20 year old whiskey tonight.
Up for it?"

Whisper walks forward and knocks on the door.
It opens.
"Yeah, whayya want? Shop's closed."
Whisper replies cheerfully. "Good evening sir, I have an offer that will change your life. Tell me, have you heard about Giant Bees before?"
"Wha-"
"Great, just let me get in here" you hear him trotting inside "and tell you all about Giant Bees and how they can change your life."
"Wait a second, what are you doing?" The dog sounds flabbergasted.
"Giant Bees, my friend, the ones from the legends of the Sunstone, I have travelled far and wide to collect…"
You hear a female doge walking down
"Load, what's going on, what's all this noise?"
Seems like the coast is clear upstairs…

You don't find it in the bedroom but after some walking around while Whisper explains the intricacies of the seapony fin, which is apparently also part of the miraculous mixture in addition to Giant Bee Honey, Wyvern Blood and Flutterpony dust.
The wife starts getting in an argument with Load on how he's spineless.
In a small storage room you find a strong lockbox. Perhaps you could pick it open.

You hear the door opening and the wife calling for guards.
"We haven't got all night you know." shouts Whisper, who's in a hoof fight with the dog.

You and Whisper make for the Scarab District. In a dark alley near the Temple of Tirek you meet up with a cloaked stallion.
"Do you have it?" he says in an Equestrian accent.
Whisper nods and gives it to her.
"Marvelous…quite a beauty…"
"As promised. Now what about our beauties?"
"Of course, of course, you've done well."
He hoofs Whisper a large bag of gemstones.
