SUN TZU SAID THAT, AND I THINK HE KNOWS A LITTLE MORE ABOUT FIGHTING THEN YOU DO PAL BECAUSE HE INVENTED IT!

>>29404744
>You pry open the large ornate door with your strength.
>The coldest breeze you've ever felt in your life whips past you as the door yields to your might.
>The rest of the party seems to react as well, visibly shivering.
>On the other side appears to be some kind of underground building. Like a fort, hewn from black stone.
>Black bricks make up the walls, banners with a strange symbol that you assume to be that of sombra's are hung upon the walls.
>On the other side of the room appears to be a large door with two ponies in black robes on each side of it.
>One of the robed ponies speaks.
>"What is your business here? You will pay for your trespassing."
>"We'll see about that!" Steel Forge Responds.
>Swift Shift as well as Mandible prepare themselves for a fight.
>The two black garbed ponies draw their weapons, one wielding a simple sword and the other a flail.
>The flail user holds his weapon with magic whereas the other pony holds his in his hoof.
>You can thusly deduce that one is a unicorn though the species of the other one is still unknown, but you'd likely find out.

>How do we approach this battle?

>>29404804
Get our anchor and smash it right before the robed figures. "You really want to fight before talking?"

>>29404804
Wait. Are they sure they want to fight? We can here for an army, and Acre deserved a challenge.
Have Acre demand she fights an army. Also, call the edgy faggot with more edges then bismuth. If their plebean minds don't know what that is, then it's a type of metal.

>>29404831
Remember. We're not supposed to strike unless in self defense. Don't want any of those rock to hurt them, now do we?

>>29404831
>You grab your anchor and slam it to the ground infront of the robed figures.
"You really want to fight before talking?"
>One of the ponies respond by shouting some kind of arcane chant.

>Suddenly a group of shadowy pony soldiers appear in the room.

"Uh oh."

>The party prepare themselves.
>Great, now you're outnumbered though you're unsure how strong the summons are.
>You figured you were about to find out.
>The shadows begin to surround your party.
>The robed pony with the flail also appears to be slowly approaching.
>The other robed figure seems to be trying to get behind the group.
>There must be something we can do.

>>29404989
Surround? Swiiiiiing around that heavy piece on metal on a chain, bitch.

>>29404989
Use the anchor to cleave through a bunch of them.

>>29404989
>>29404993
>>29405005
Wait. Guys wait. Are these alive? I don't know if Celestia is ok with this. Unless there are automatons, then go wild.

>>29404989
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq_r19xoKJE
Weaken or destroy the summoned soldiers.

>>29405009
I think it's fine to attack. They obviously mean to do us and everyone else harm. It could still the all in self defense even if we get the first strike.

>>29404989
Can we grab an throw one of the soldiers in self defense?

>>29404989
OK ok. Before we fight. I just need to know. Was this some base of operations and we're they planning anything malicious? It's a stupid thing to ask, but you never know.

>>29404989
>The two black garbed ponies draw their weapons, one wielding a simple sword and the other a flail.
Im thinking, depending on how thick the blacksmith made to armor, the flail won't do much and neither would the sword. Does Mandible know any good spells up his sleeves?

>You decide to use the sunburst.
>A bright glow fills the room.
>The robed figures shield their eyes.
>The shadowy soldiers disintegrate within moments leaving only the two robed figures again.
>"I should have suspected they'd send someone to pay us back for our attack." The robed figured with the flail remarks.
>"Though, we did not expect that someone to be a giant!" The robed pony wielding the sword adds.
>You swing the anchor at the flail wielder.
>He attempts to use his magic to stop the anchor but quickly realizes he can't slow it down fast enough and elects to jump out of the way.
>The other party members seem to be surrounding the sword wielder leaving you to battle the flail wielder.
>He begins firing rapid bursts of magic at you.
>They make small dents in your armor but don't do much else.
>What shall we do in retaliation?

>>29405451
Shield charge

Pin on wall

>>29405451
Scream "SELF DEFENSE!"

>>29405451
Pin him down and sit on him w-wew. He could die happy.

>>29405451
Send birb to distract him.

>>29405451
Fucking CHAAAAAAAAARGE.
Pin him to the wall with our mass, rip his weapon, toss it aside. Bonk him on the head gently, then help our useless party.

>>29405661
Yeah. We don't want to kill him.

>>29405451
>>29405468
>>29405586
>>29405661
Better idea. Leave the anchor and door shield behind, and give the unicorn the nicest, gentlest hug his parents never gave him.
And if he fires anything point blank we can crush ribs.

>>29405991
I like it. Hug first, rip and tear later.

>>29406025
We need to give him the care his never could. The poor baby.

>You slowly drop your anchor and door shield.
>You approach the robed figure slowly.
>"Wh-what? What are you doing? Why have you discarded your weapons?" the robed pony demands
>You do not respond and continue towards him.
>"A-are you surrendering?!"
>Finally as you stand over him, he looks up at you and you look down at him.
>He's visibly shaking unsure of what to do.
>"P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-please don't hurt me...." he whimpers
>...
>You crouch down a little and hug the unicorn.
>"W-what? Why are you hugging me? What is this?!" you don't need much intuition, you could practically hear the fear and confusion in his voice.
>He doesn't seem to be taking any immediate action against you, whether it be he's too afraid to or simply still in shock you were not certain.

>Your party members however seem to be too busy fighting the other robed figure to care.
>But you can tell he's getting desperate, swinging his sword wildly like some kind of madpony.

>You are still hugging the robed unicorn.

>>29406497
This is love
This is life

Hug him silly

You can't stop, The Huggernaut!

Well from the looks of it, these guys are chumps in a physical fight. Still, don't get too attached, your party could use the assistance, snuggle or not.

Let's make this our thing, the Solar Huggernaut.
Wherever we go, whatever we fight - hug it first, ask questions later.
>hugging dragons for sport

>>29406684
I'd like to point out the followers of Sombra have a taboo against aiding followers of other gods.

>>29406758
>>29406758
Okay den.
Twist around with the unicorn still in our hug and lob him at the remaining swordsman
Nothing personnel.

>>29406497
"Ssssshhh. There there. No one is perfect. Let it all out buddy."
Confusion is good.

>The cultist starts sobbing softly.
>His hood falls revealing he's an equestrian unicorn.
>His mane is cyan and his coat light blue, with yellow eyes.
>Guess not all the members are umbrum.
>It seems the other cultist has been defeated by your party members.
>He lies on the floor his sword broken in half.
>His hood had also fallen most likely when he was knocked to the ground, he is an equestrian earthpony with a white coat and a blonde mane.
>The fallen pony looks up a you and the cultist you're embracing.
>"Quisque Umbra! What are you doing!" He shouts at you both.
>"Kill the intruder!" he adds.
>The unicorn simply stares silently at him before looking back at you.

>"N-no! My name is Blue Seas!" The blue unicorn shouts at the cultist on the floor.

>"Y-you're betraying us?!" The fallen cultist asks.

>He takes one more glance at you.

>"I guess so..." he responds

>He then returns his gaze to you.
>"You're here to stop the master aren't you?" Blue Seas asks you.
"Yup, there's a big bounty for him. Not to mention it's kind of my duty."
>"I can take you to him, under one condition."
"What's that?"
>"I want to get as far away from this place once it's through..."
"Okay? Can I ask why?"
>"Now's not the time to explain, there might be more coming. Make sure he stays quiet. Then follow me." He points to the fallen cultist upon uttering he.

>Well, I guess it worked!
>Unless this is some kind of contrived trap, for now just stay on guard.

>Your party members manage to bind and gag the other cultist with magic.
"Is he gonna stay nice and quiet for us?"
>"Oh yeah, not a peep." Mandible assures.
"Alright, lead the way Seas."
>"Gladly." Blue Seas responds as he unlocks the door they were guarding beckoning you all to follow.

>>29407670
I wish we could've hugged the other one as well.

>>29407670
>We can walk and talk Blue. Tell me about yourself while we get to meet your boss?
Don't forget to pick up the anchor and door shield.

>>29407670
>Blue seas leads you through winding corridors that all look the same but somehow he knows where he's going.
>You honestly begin to wonder with how long it's been taking if he got lost and just wasn't telling you.
>But eventually you arrive at a large chamber with a bridge extending over a underground lake to a giant set of doors on the other side.
>"Here we are, the master is behind those doors, the inner sanctum. Where we go to...to worship Sombra. He's undoubtedly asking for guidance on how to attack the celestials next." Blue Seas tells you.
>You all cross the bridge and arrive at the doors.
>Unsurprisingly the large wooden doors are locked.
>Not any trouble for you though as you proceed to rip them off their hinges.
>"WAIT!" Blue Seas shouts.
>You stop in your tracks.
>"I have a key."
>Blue Seas then inserts a silver key into the door's lock, a loud click is heard as the doors then creak open slowly and loudly.
>Once again a cool breeze is released.
>Inside the room, appears to be a shrine of worship like the one you saw before. But on a much larger scale.
>A giant statue of Sombra stands at the far side of the room.
>The walls littered with arcane symbols and torches.
>Standing at the hoof[read as foot] of the giant statue is a figure cloaked in dark purple, unlike the others who don black.
>Blue Seas shivers slightly at the sight of him.
>"So, that's the one." Swift Shift remarks.
>"Well, let's not waste any time and get it over with!" Steel Forge states.
>"Guys, we don't know what we're up against. We should atleast observe first." Mandible says.
>The two guards look at eachother, then nod.
>"The bug has a point." Steel Forge says.
>The figure slowly turns around.
>Red eyes gaze out from under the hood, he was certainly an Umbrum.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neJ2IIg9MkM
>"What have we here...I sense Celestials among us..." The figure remarks, his gaze however is then drawn to Blue Seas.
(2/3)

>>29408111
Keep his attention on us.

>>29408111
>Blue Seas shivers as his gaze is upon him.
>"So, this is how you repay us? After giving you a home, feeding you and allowing you to live and flourish in the dark. You dare to bite the hoof that feeds you, boy?" The figure asks.
>"You stole me from my home! I never even knew my parents because of you Smog!" Blue Seas shouts.
>"Still your tongue welp, we stole you from a home that was doomed to be destroyed. We saved you." 'Smog?' responds.
>"You don't know that." Blue Seas replies.
>"No matter, if this is what you wish. Then I shall take back my gifts." 'Smog?' replies before his horn begins to glow.
>He then summons 4 strong looking shadow soldiers to assist him.
>Your party readies itself.
>Blue Seas cowers, you're not sure if he'll fight or not.
>"Look at you, pitiful boy. Yes, cower in fear of my power." 'Smog?' states.
>Well shit, what shall we do?

(3/3) Didn't expect it to be 3 posts but I underestimated the text limit.

>>29408155
I want spite this Smog person by instill courage in Blue Seas. Use Sunburst for dramatic lighting and to weaken the, but demand Seas look you in the eye. Talk low enough where only your group can hear
>Blue Seas. I know you're afraid of this edge lord amongst edge lords. You want to leave, right? I bet, if you leave now you'll always be looking over you're should thinking about the day someone finds you. How's this, you help us take him on, and be free of your fear. He is only as powerful as you allow him to be.

>>29408155
Tear off a wooden door throw it at the statue.

>>29408155
>He then summons 4 strong looking shadow soldiers to assist him.
So they're strong in appearance. No one said they were bigger or heavier then Acre~
Use one of the soldiers as a flail to attack the other three.

>>29408287
>>29408297
>You blast the sunburst.
>The shadow soldiers recoil but are not destroyed like the previous ones.
"Seas."
>"What?" Blue seas asks.
"Look me in the eyes."
>You then crouch a little to meet Blue eye to eye.
>You speak softly so as to not be heard by the enemy.
"Listen... I know you're afraid of this edge lord amongst edge lords. You want to leave, right? I bet, if you leave now you'll always be looking over your shoulder thinking about the day someone finds you. How's this, you help us take him on, and be free of your fear. He is only as powerful as you allow him to be."
>Blue Seas takes a big breath in, then a equal exhale.
>"You're right. I-I need to tough it out." Blue Seas says.
"We're going to walk out of this, so long as you stay close alright."
>"Alright..."
>Mandible prepares his spear.
>Swift Shift and Steel Forge draw their swords.
>They are certainly not afraid.
>Blue Seas draws his flail.
>He seems to be a bit more confident now at the very least.

>"Smog?" begins firing rapid blasts of shadow magic at your party.
>The shadow soldiers begin to close in.

>You clutch your anchor and door shield tightly.
>"Smog?" locks eyes with you.
>You feel the first move is yours.

>>29408155
Use your Sunburst to weaken all of the malificent creatures in the room, thing charge through the soldier to Smog. If he dodges out of the way, keep pressing forward and attack the statue with the anchor.

>>29408287
Don't glow until we engage him. Let's keep it a surprise. Who's gonna suspect it's the giant that's a celestial?>>29408111
Also, Mandible has a point. Stay on the defensive.

>>29408852
>You blast the sunburst one last time though it is a bit weaker than usual. Perhaps spamming it isn't a good idea.
>Nevertheless the soldiers still recoil.
>You charge to Smog.
>However he levitates himself with magic!
>However with Smog out of the way you strike the base of the statue with the anchor.

>It begins to crumble.
>You run as fast as you can.
>Smog turns around in the air for just a moment to witness the statue collapsing onto him.
>"OH SHI-" he screams but is unable to finish as the statue crushes him under it's rubble.
>The shadow soldiers disappear the moment he is crushed.

>...
>"T-thats it?" Blue Seas asks.
"I'm a bit disappointed, after all the hype this guy got he just went down in 10 seconds."
>"Atleast nobody got hurt." Mandible says.
>"We should return to the captain with news of his death, as well as inform him of this place's location. I'm sure there's some information they could pilfer from this place." Steel Forge says.
"Alright, lead the way."
>You then begin the trek back outside.
"Oh, by the way am I gonna be getting that bounty?"

>>29408889
a little late senpai.>>29408850

>>29409357
Neigh! We must dig him out! (We should get a higher bounty if he's alive, right?)

>>29409357
Blue. Buddy. I am very disappointed.
So you gonna scram or do you want to stick around? I wouldn't mind if you stuck around to help.

>>29409357
Can we loot the place now?

>>29409357
>Standing at the hoof[read as foot] of the giant statue is a figure cloaked in dark purple, unlike the others who don black.
When you say others, do you mean other sombra followers in the room, or Seas and his tied up friend?

>You realize perhaps you'd get more money if he was alive.
>You rush back to the statue.
>"What are you doing?!" Steel Forge asks.
"He might be worth more alive!"
>You begin removing the rubble attempting to find Smog.
>You find him underneath just barely alive and visibly injured.
>You put him on your back.
>There's no fear of retaliation, he's probably either in too much pain or completely out of it from blood loss to do anything.
>"D-do we have to let him live?" Blue Seas asks.
"Well, I figure I shouldn't kill someone if I don't need to."
>"A-alright..."
>Blue Seas seems to be nervous about this decision, Mandible is indifferent to it.
>Steel Forge and Swift Shift however are elated that they'll be able to interrogate him.
>You then begin the trek back to the fort.
>The gates open without you hailing them, it seems they were expecting you.
>All the soldiers look at you in awe as you place the battered Umbrum cultist onto a wagon to be dragged away, treated of his injuries and imprisoned.
>The captain approaches through the crowd.
>"Well, congratulations I guess." He then gives you a large sack of bits.
>"I take it this is what you sought?" the captain asks.
"Yes please."
>You happily take the bag.
>"Now then, Swift, Steel, come. We have work to do." The captain states as he beckons them to follow him.
>The two guards follow the captain as the wagon is dragged away.
>Swift Shift and Steel Forge have left the party!
>You then both stand there in the fort as the soldiers praise you for a bit.
"So, Blue, you gonna be sticking around? You don't have to but, it's an option."
>He looks at the soldiers, then mandible, then finally you.

>"I..I suppose so?" Blue Seas says.

>You hug him again.
"Great to hear!"
>"So, now what?" He asks you.
"Now? We go back to town to reunite with our Hobbit friend."
>"Hobbit?"
"I'll explain along the way."
>You tell him this with a smile.
>You 3 then begin your trek back to the village.
>To be continued.

You know the drill, its midnight. I'll be back in the morning to continue the quest.

>>29409712
Savings is the one that's good with money. What does he suggest we do with it?

>>29409712
Do we still have the anchor and shield?

>>29409712
Night night

>>29409712
So I could help but remember the conversation Blue had with Smog. Care to share something about your past, or that's too soon and personal?

So I take it on the way back, Acre is explaining to Blue of the arrangements she and Mandible have with Savings? Would if want to join? If he did, what could he do to help around? He any good with magic? Maybe, reverse engineer that spell summoning spell? fuck if I know. Acre ain't no horn head

>>29409712
What did we do with his tied up friend again? Did we leave him back in the cave?

>>29409712
Will this little deviation from what might be the typical life of traveling with a merchant was nice. Got a bit of gold to boot.

Would autistic ponies fare better or worse in war?

>>29409712
Will this little deviation from what might be the typical life of traveling with a merchant was nice. Got a bit of gold to boot. What should we do with the gold now? Invest in something? Buy a home on wheel? A bed fit for a God? A few years supply of shrinking potions?

>>29410598
Depends if the autistic ponies were plot relevant. It could increase the likely hood of their survival. But overall no they wouldn't.

>>29410600
Fuck off with the shrinking already. Am I the only one hating the concept? We chose giant, stick to it. Shrinking potions seem like a bailout to me.
But the bed idea is marvelous. Ask the hobbit about that commission he mentioned and toss all our money at him. Our everything for a proper night's rest.

>>29410638
Yeah you're pretty much the only one. A shrinking potion would open up alot more options if you think about it. She can enjoy luxury service like massages, entering small establishments, the need to eat less food, crawling through spaces that are too small for her (another situation with the cave, but with narrower tunnels)

>>29410696
I suppose I will shut up about it then.
Though I still believe that being a giant should come with drawbacks, such as not being able to enjoy all the stuff you listed.

>>29410696
I am also against shrinking potion

A Growth potion would be better

>>29410696
>>29410872
This, basically. We could fuck shit up even more.

>>29410876
Also we could hug, like, 100 ponies at once

>>29410878
You know, I like this idea more than fucking shit up. Beware of the Huggernaut.

>>29410872
>>29410876
>>29410878
>>29410885
Yes but that also means no armor, a larger target to shoot at, can't drink underground.

>>29411264
>tear our way into the cave
>large = more tough

>>29411273
That quite autistic of you anon. It doesn't make you tougher, it just takes longer to bring you down.

>He looks at the potions behind him searching for a shrinking potion.
>He then places a purpleish potion on the table.
>It lasts 12 hours.
We already have this and two healing potion.

>>29411309
Kinda same thing, saves time.

>>29411309
Growth is and will always be for extra damage to trample a large enemi formation, fortification or other giants

Of course the goal is not to be bigger everytime

>You return to the inn to find Small Savings checking his inventory.
>He turns around you see you, as well as your new friend.
>"Who is this?" Savings asks.
"Oh, this is Blue Seas. He's a cultist."
>"A CULTIST?!" Savings shouts
"Calm down, he's a nice cultist. Isn't that right?"
>"Nice, yes, innocent no. I didn't have a choice." Seas says.
"Speaking of, you mind explaining what you and Smog were going on about back there?"
>"I....I'd rather talk about it another time."
"That's fine, i'm sure it's very personal."
>"So, is he staying with us?" Small Savings asks
"Well, he doesn't have anywhere else to go. So yeah."
"Also, I got a whole bunch of bits from capturing some edgy priest cultist guy."
>You pull the giant bag of bits.
"And I was wondering if you had any insight as to what I should do with it."
>"Well, heh. Who am I to tell you what to do with your own money?"
>"Truth be told, I honestly can't think of anything at the moment. There's nothing to invest in, my advice would be to save it for WHEN it's time to invest in what you need."
"That's a good point."
"So, are we finally ready to go?"
>"Go? Go where?" Blue Seas asks.
"Well, we're a traveling merchant group. So we go from town to town."
>"Oh."
"Yup, so Savings we still packed and ready to go?"
>"Indeed, we're setting off to the north. The Crystal Empire is really good for business these days." Small Savings states.
>"I guess it'll be nice to see the world, and get away from this place." Blue Seas says.
"Could you please stop being emo?"
>And so you exit the inn.
>Is there anything you'd like to do before departing the town of luna?
>You may not return here for quite some time.


>>29410375
WELP, another thing it slipped my mind to cover.
>The friend was also taken in for questioning.

>>29411585
Check the local ikea. Look for that bed! Don't give up!

>>29411608
Savings is doing that for us. Besides he's the one that's a merchant. He'd do a better job commissioning a bed then Acre ever could.
>>29411585
We go.

>>29411608
So it was in the last thread that someone asked Savings about the bed. He said, he hadn't gotten around or found anyone yet, and he'd give the bits back or something if we wanted to try out own luck with commissioning a reinforced metal bed fit for a giant.

>>29411585
Isn't the Crystal Empire in the frozen north? Boy I hope Acre packed a set of winter clothes and booties.
Can we buy a necklace or talisman of Celestia?

>>29411585
So, I take it you're not a follower of Sombra anymore? Will you convert to dedicating yourself to another god?

>>29411585
Where I come from, and I come from fantasy tapletop games, you go to the magic item shop when you've got lots o money

>>29411585
Does Blue have any clothes for when we reach the crystal empire?

"I'd say we're about ready to go...BUT FIRST!"
>You purchase a golden sun necklace, as a sort of symbol of your devotion.
>The largest size because anything smaller was too small.
"So, speaking of the crystal empire. Blue, you got any spare clothes besides those Sombra robes? I reckon you'd probably not be too well received in those when we get there."
>"Oh, I guess you're right. I should probably ditch them." Blue Seas removes his robes and discards them.
"So, are you going to devote yourself to another god?"
>"I might as well, I only worshipped Sombra because it was all I knew. But now I have a choice."
"Glad to hear it. Any god in mind?"
>"...I don't know yet."
"Well, feel free to consider joining me."
>You say with no shame to your blatant advertisement.
>"I'll consider it."

>"Alright, let's get going then times a wasting!" Small Savings says.
>You then begin along the roads to the crystal empire.
>You had a long journey ahead of you.
(1/?)
Like I said, I write it as I go along. I apologize for taking this long. I have scenarios planned but the question is whether we'll get into a position where i'll be able to use them or not.

>>29412563
>You travel for a few days together along the roads.
>Camping out at night with some tents that Savings had in his possession.
>However one day you hear a pony crying for help before finding one lying in the road wounded.
>"P-Please you have got to help me!" The injured pony cries.
>"Now, now Calm down, tell us what happened." Savings asks.
>As the pony explains her situation you notice mandible sniffing around for a minute.
>"Something's not right here." Mandible says
"What do you mean?"
>"This pony's scent is all wrong. I think this is a phony."
"A phony?"
>"She doesn't smell anything like a pony that's been supposedly injured in the wild or anything close to that."
"Well, what do we do?"
>"I'll leave that up to you, but we may want to be wary of her. Don't follow her if she tries to lead you anywhere. Perhaps don't make it obvious we've seen through her ruse just yet."
>You then overhear the pony explaining that she'd like to be escorted to a nearby village for help and that the supposed bandits that attacked her might still be nearby.
>How do we approach this?

>>29412864
A phony or not, it is our duty to help. Fucking Celestia...
Agree, ask where the village is and stay on our toes. Ask Mandy if he could try scouting ahead a bit, though not too far.

>>29412864
Doesn't our light both heal the good and hurt the bad? She is injured.

>>29412963
I think it was merely rejuvenating for the pure of heart, healing is Radiant's shtick. GLOWING WITH SUN'S GROSS INCANDESCENCE has so far worked surprisingly well for us in almost every situation, but I don't think it's a good idea to do that in the middle of the night with a potential group of bandits nearby.

>>29412864
Use the sunburst, it's so OP. Think about it, changelings can get rooted out very quickly just from using the sunburst, atleast the malicious ones. If this is a trap, she'll burn. If she's legit, WELP she'll be rejuvenated slightly but we need to do our spy checking duties.

>>29412864
Check the severity of the wound.

"Where is this village?"
>You ask the mare.
>"Just up this road, down a side road to the east! It isn't too far." She responds.
"Alright, now stay still."
>You charge the sunburst.
>"What are you doing?" She asks
>You fire it off.
>A bright light glows.
>Suddenly the mare is screaming in pain.
>Her flesh burns off to reveal a changeling underneath who then crumples up on the ground in pain.
>"AGGGGGHGHG" it cries as it writhes on the ground.
>"I knew it!" Mandible shouts.
>Small Savings immediately hides behind Mandible.
>Blue Seas joins shortly afterwards.
>"D-damn that stupid sunburst!" The changeling cries still in pain.
"Who are you?! What was the purpose of this trap?! SPEAK!"
>"I-I was gonna lure you into an abandoned village full of changelings and capture you and your g-group! So much for that, that stupid sunburst shit makes that so hard these days..."
>Well, it seems we have caught the trickster, what shall we do?

>>29413810
Watch out

These foul creatures can turn our hugs against ourselves.
I'm affraid we can only turn them to the authorities

Also we must plan a purge of said village

>>29413810
Ask Savings how often this route is used. Just being found out is enough for them to leave the area, but if traffic is common, we might want to make sure they leave.

>>29413810
Marry her to Mandible!

>>29413810
>Oh, ouch. My bad. Need a hug?
Hug it.

>>29413997
My shipping senses are tingling! Acre is kinda, technically a priest.

>>29413890
>>29413892
>>29413997
>>29414164
"How often is this route used Saves?"
>"Fairly often, I'm sure we can get some guards down here to clean out the pests." Small Savings responds.
"I don't know, it may be safer to take them out ourselves just incase."
>"I mean... if you want to." He responds with a shiver.
>You then have a sudden desire to try and marry Mandible with this random changeling.
"So, Mandible, you looking for a mate?"
>"What?!" Mandible asks completely bewildered.
"Well, I am kind of a priest, you want me to marry you two?"
>"Where is this coming from?!"
>Blue Seas and Small Savings are simply confused.

>>29414594
Just a random thought.

>>29414594
Because why not? Why don't you take a look at that changeling and tell me what you think.

>>29414594
What do you think we should do with the changeling Mandible?

>>29414594
Ask the new changeling what is their opinion of the cabal of chrysalis. That a the name right?

>>29414594
>"Well, I am kind of a priest, you want me to marry you two?"
>"Where is this coming from?!"
When in Roam you know? Whens the next time I'll get the chance to marry people?

>>29414635
>>29414752
>>29414865
>>29414974
>>29414979
"Well, what do you think we should do with them?"
>"...I don't know." Mandible responds.
"So, I have to ask. Are you with the cabal of chrysalis? That's the name right?"
>You ask the injured changeling.
>"That's coven you clown!" she responds.
"Close enough."
>"And why should I tell you?!"
"Because I can crush your head."
>"...What do you think?"
"I think I need to crush your skull."
>"Okay, okay! Yes, I am." She responds.
"Good girl."
(1/?)
and suddenly I feel writer's block setting in....Fuck.

>>29415379
>You and your friends should totally convert to Celestia! Or, maybe be atheists. That way I won't get the chance to make that skull necklace for my mother's birthday. could this be a bluff? Do giants actually my accessories out of bones? Hue hue hue

>>29415969
"You and your friends should totally convert to Celestia! Or, maybe be atheists. That way I won't get the chance to make that skull necklace for my mother's birthday"
>The changeling shivers.
>"Y-You're just kidding r-right?" she asks.
"I don't know, AM I?"
>You both stare at eachother.
>"Y-you'll never beat all of us!"
"I'll make you all into back scratchers if you want."
>"Please stop."
"Stop what?"
>"Just, stop."
"Well, either way we're gonna have to deal with your friends one way or another. And you're gonna help us if you don't want to end up as a necklace."
>She ponders for a moment with obvious anger and fear.
>Finally though she seems to give up.
>"Fine, what will you ask of me?" She says.
>Seems she's finally given up.

>>29416350
Are you guys the changeling that have been buying weapons? I heard somewhere down the grapevine that the cookie of chrysalis is planning for war.

>>29416350
How many of you are there?

>>29416582
>>29416724
"Are you guys the changeling that have been buying weapons? I heard somewhere down the grapevine that the cookie of chrysalis is planning for war."
>"COVEN, and who wants to know?!" the changeling responds.
"A big giant that wants to make your skull into a soup bowl, that's who."
>She sighs "Fine, yes. We are, though we're just an outpost."
"How many of you are there?"
>"About 50 at the town."
"At the town?"
>"Obviously we're not the whole army you dip, we're just securing a vantage point for later use."
"Not if we have anything to say about it."
>"Are you sure about this?" Mandible asks.
>"I mean, this could be pretty dangerous. Even if they don't use their disguise powers against us."
"Well, we have to do something. Can't just sit here and let a bunch of bad bugs snatch people off the road or something, or go to war whatever the heck they're doing."
>"Normally, i'd side with Mandible on this one but. We DO have a giant." Blue Seas chimes in.
>"Tell you what, you just decide this amongst yourselves and uhhh i'll just check inventory or something." Small Savings says before turning to start pretending to inspect his inventory.
>"Well, I guess the final decision lies with you. Are we going to attack? Gather allies? Or do you have something of your own in mind?" Mandible asks.

>To be continued.

See you tomorrow and all that, I need sleep. Though I finally got past my minor writer's block it seems.

>>29416997
We're pretty far away from anywhere so I doubt we'd find many allies. We could send our Phoenix to get a birds eye view and see if there's anybody nearby. Did we ever name it?

>>29417080
>>29416997
Nope. Don't believe we have named the little fella. We should though.

So, anon. Your plan is to send the bird up to get a view of the landscape. That's good and all, but I have a few things I'd like to talk to you about.

Phoenixes can't talk (if we go by Filoma or what's her name in the show). Maybe it's intelligent enough to make gestures and play charades, but I doubt it's capable of speech. Now unless a Phoenix can control it's ability to burn what it touches at will, our little bird could be used to deliver messages. Sadly I doubt they are capable of that.

Mandible is a changeling. Changelings have wings. So it would be ideal to send someone up who can survey the surrounding and relay what they know of it. If he were willing.

>"How often is this route used Saves?"
>"Fairly often, I'm sure we can get some guards down here to clean out the pests." Small Savings responds.
Gathering the guards may draw too much attention and might cause them to flee. Or maybe just fight. I don't know (what do you guys think?)

>>29416997
Ask Savings if we can barrow some rope and tie knots through the changelings holes.

>>29416997
So was she serious about converting?

>>29416997
Wait. The changeling is a 'she' now? Weren't you using 'it' to identify the changeling a few posts back? What changed?

>>29417278
Didn't say for him to make contact, just some quick recon.

>>29417315
Hey, the changeling identifies as a female, check your privilege cis scum.

>>29417344
>Phoenixes can't talk
Unless the birdy can talk, I'm voting on a no to sending out a bird. 1.) A coven changeling scout might spot it and suspect there are celestial knights around. 2.) How will bird tell us what's 'good' and 'bad'. 3.) How smart is the bird?

>>29417382
Hey you check you privileges. The changeling could have a feminine or slim physique and identifies as gender neutral.

>>29417523
Before we do anything else, we need to ask the changeling about their gender! We can't go around being offensive!

>>29417776
Bullshit, we can call it 'it'.

>>29417783
That's offensive, we can't do that! It could hurt their feelings!
Don't be such a bigoted shitlord, you have to keep an open mind!

>>29417800
I can be a bigot all I want and you won't stop me. Open mind it's what made this world shit.

>>29416997
Can you tell us the reason why the Cower is going to war?

>>29416997
Ask Mandy if changelings have some form of distant communication - telepathy, pheromones, whatever. If not - we can try sneaking around the estimated trap area and walk into the village / camp from an unexpected direction.
Also, send phoenix to get some help. It may not be able to talk, but I'm sure a phoenix is a rare enough site to follow even without it actually trying to lead you somewhere. We may be a giant, but that's 50 shiftbugs. We might need some help.

>>29416997
So 'what's to your name.' Were you supposed to just stick around this area and lure people to your outpost, or did your little group know about us?

>>29417286

"So, Saves. Can we borrow some rope to tie the changeling up?"
>He wordlessly levitates rope to you.
>You then proceed to tie the changeling up to an unnecessary degree, to the point where there's even rope looping through the leg holes.
"So, care to tell us why the coven is going to war?"
>"Why else? To feed like always." The changeling responds.
"Gee, you guys are so boring. It's always about the eating the love stuff. Don't you ever do anything else?"
>"Well...uhhh....there was that one ti-....no, not really."
"Riiiiiight."
"Did you have any other plan besides just luring people to your outpost? Or did you guys somehow know about us?"
>"The former. Atleast until it was time to launch an attack."
"Well, we'll make sure that won't be happening."

"So, Mandy-"
>"Don't call me that." Mandible insists.
"So Mands, do changelings have some form of distant communication like telepathy? pheromones or whatever?"
>"No, why do you think disguised changelings accidentally attack eachother? If we could just emit pheromones to identify eachother it'd completely eliminate that problem."
"You have a point there."
"I have an idea."
>You summon your phoenix.
"Go, get help little guy, fly my pretty fly!"
>The phoenix flies off to...get help?
>We'll see if anything returns.

>"Are you sure that was a good idea? I have a feeling the things just going to burn a forest down or get lost." Blue Seas says.
>"Yeah, I mean. It's not like it's a messenger pigeon, how will they know it's seeking help?" Small Savings asks.
"...Well, shit. I guess we better just pray to Celestia for the best."

>>29418700
>>29418867
It's that cutsie shit annoys people. Stop it. No one likes it.

>>29418867
>Isn't there like, a safer and legal way to feed? Hey Mandible, what can you tell me bout this feeding bidness?

>>29418867
What if you guys paid people to be drained of love? It would be a whole lot more legal then whatwver it is you do in your spare time.

>>29418700
Wow. Racist.

>>29418867
So. Wait for an hour or two to interrogate the changeling and see if the Phoenix comes back with help?

>>29418867
Wow I feel kind of bad for burning her. Can we hug her?

>>29419279
>No. Burn her more. We need more intel. Patrols, ambushes, time of shift change, guard and scout positions. Burn her till she speaks. Then burn her more.
>Or maybe you could tell us politely, you know. Whatever floats your boat, Bugsy.
Mindgame interrogations first, hugs later, anon, when will you finally fucking learn.

>>29419263
Well, as far as I know phoenixes are actually unable to talk despite being highly intelligent. I never meant to insult that beautiful creature, I'm sorry.

"Isn't there like, a safer and legal way to feed? Hey Mandible, what can you tell me bout this feeding bidness?"
>"Well, changelings feed on love. Obviously, and ponies produce love. So the changelings want to love." Mandible responds.
"Annnd you can't just ask for it instead of taking it, why?"
>...
>He just shrugs.
"What if you just paid people to let you eat their love you know? It's probably way more legal than this."
>"Whose gonna accept gold to have a terrifying bug monster drain their love energy?" The changeling asks.
"...Another good point."
>Without much less to do you decide to interrogate her for an hour to two waiting for the phoenix to return.
>And by interrogate I mean hug.
>"G-get off me! This is stupid!" the changeling cries.
"Don't lie, you love it."
>You can't tell if the changeling is red with rage or embarrassment. Or maybe both!
>Eventually the phoenix comes back.
>It lands on your snout as per usual.
>It doesn't seem to have accomplished anything.
>You feel slightly disappointed.
"Aww."
>But suddenly a small unit of Lunar soldiers comes running over the horizon.
>They spot the phoenix on your nose.
>"Is this your phoenix?" The soldier leading them asks.
"Yeah."
>"It seemed like it was calling for assistance, may I ask what the trouble is?"
>They...they can understand it?
>You shake off the confusion and just accept it.
"Well, there's a village of changelings up ahead that's apparently been kidnapping people if we're lead to believe this one here."
>You say as you point to the rather tied up changeling.
>"I see, we should act at once. Prepare thy swords stallions, let's squash some bugs!" The soldier says.
>"HYAH!" they all cry.
>Should we assist them or would it be better to watch?

>>29420056
Lets assist them to make sure the job gets done. Our light would be helpful to prevent confusion. Also, make sure that the other changeling with us is friendly.

>>29420056
Keep hugging the captured changeling tighly as we watch from the top of a hill, we are but civilians after all and also remember what the other guys said about these Luna guys, dont remember exactly myself but pretty sure they didnt liked others interfering or something like that

You ll also be feeding this changeling by hugging her wont you? Bet she s slim af from hunger so be careful

>>29420056
Sssssshhh. Don't worry. You changelings are anything buy scary to me.

>>29420181
Gotta share the love bruh. Start petting her.

>>29420181
Just to complete what i mean:
Careful to not crush her, not to be careful with what she may do
She s probably really fragile so dont want to accidentaly crush the poor thing

>>29420163
Tell them that it's apparently an outpost for a larger invading force?

deus vult! Help them with the changelings. The other don't have to come along. Acre can go by herself. Ask Mandible if these ponies smell funny like the changeling we have tied up.

For the record that was the Lunar Order. The soldiers, the military and all that have no connections with the actual church based thingies. Those are just the military of the nations. The Celestial Knights are not the same thing as the Celestial Military for instance.

>>29420830
Ok then. Some stay to watch over the captive. Arce doesn't have to watch out because she's the biggest.
When she gets there, yell for all the Guards to stand down, and that she'll start smashing those who are still fighting.

>>29420830
Sunburst to empower the Lunar Knights and weaken the changelings.

>>29420830
Good job cowards, allow the normal ponies to battle an army of tricksters while the big, strong giant with the ability to remove their greatest strength sits on the sidelines. Chrysalis would be proud.

Keep the glow constant, no matter how hard it may be, and try to be in the middle of the fight. Shout out to lunars that our glow will expose the changelings, creating a small safe area for our forces.

She was tied up. And she escaped from three people. Check to see if she stole anything. Send the Phoenix into the air to search the surrounding.

>>29424329
I am very disappointed in everyone

>>29424329
Use our best disappointed face.
"Obviously you all need to work on your hug-fu."

>>29424329
Use a weak Sunburst on your friends to see if the cookie of chrysalis changeling is disguised as one of your friends.

>>29424329
"I'm not mad just disappointed in all of you, now what happened?"

>>29424329
Check if everyone is there, she may have taken savings when fleeing
Try not to lose your mind on that thou, beds can wait...

>>29424329
Make sure that 'unconscious friends' aren't actually 'disguised changelings'.

>>29424329
>yeah, you're welcome, now pardon me, I'm a part of a travelling merchant gig, gtg. Oh, and also, would you by any chance be interested in these fine trinkets we have for offer?

Back on topic. After checking for changelings other than Mandy, check everyone for injuries. Knockouts can be nasty.

Something doesn't add up here, folks. I can only think of one reason she'd escape the way she did - we went overboard with threats and she's simply too terrified to stay. But there's other stuff that rings alarm bells for me. If our party's uninjured, then why? Generally speaking, when escaping yourself or busting someone else out of captivity, you don't play nice. Broken bones and worse, to delay pursuit. So what happened and why? AND HOW DID OUR PARTY, THAT INCLUDES A FORMER CULTIST SWORDSMAN, MANAGE TO FUCK UP THIS BAD?!

>You shake them awake.

"I was hoping you could tell me."
>"I don't know...the changeling- THE CHANGELING!"
>"What?!" Mandible asks awakened by the sudden shout.
>"NO, not you! The other changeling! The one we had tied up!" Small Savings says.
>"It appears she has fled." Blue Seas states.
"Hm... just to be sure."
>You flash the sunburst.
>No reaction, they're legit.
"So how did she escape?"
>"I don't know, I think she cast some kind of spell on us." Small Savings says.
"A knockout spell?"
>"Something like that probably, cause I certainly don't remember how the heck I got unconscious. It's like we all just blacked out at once."
"When did this happen?"
>"I dunno, I think while you were busy fighting. We weren't paying attention for just a second and then... Boom!"
"Well, atleast you're all alright and she didn't take anyone hostage.'
"But i'm still a bit disappointed in you all."
"Is anything missing?"
>"Not that I can see, everything checks out."
"Phew."
>"So...are we going to go after her or something?" Mandible asks.

>>29425577
y

>>29425577
Butt ofc, our bed

>>29425577
I hugged it so now it's mine, nah jk I could use an inept recurring nemesis.

>>29425577
Have our phoenix fly up and try to spot her. Not go after her, just figure out what direction she went.

>>29424329
'Now we pillage the village...'
It is now my goal in life to use that phrase.

"Good boy!"
>"A-are we going after her?" Blue Seas, asks.
"Nah, I need an inept recurring rival anyway."
>"Are you sure that's a good idea? She might come back for revenge." Mandible says
"I'm counting on it!"
>"That's kind of reckless don't you think?" Small Savings says.
"Isn't it? Now come on, we've got a crystal empire to get to!"
>"B-but!... Oh forget it. Come on."
>And so you continue on the road to the crystal empire.
>(1/?)

>>29426720
She ll be fined? Nice, all that money we ll get from the court

Little typo: fine -> find

>>29426720
That does seem reckless. Are we sure we don't want to go catch her while we have a lead?

>>29426720
Actually, I'd like to capture her again.

>>29427377
Selling things? Oh that's easy, but it would depend on how Mandible feels about this method of, 'help.'
With his transformation abilities he could disguise himself in multiple pony guises, spreading rumors or having idle chit chat with someone, talking about that neat stall ran by "that little hobbit with the giant."
Of course that's not the most honest way to drum up business.

>>29427377
So if the ponies and the buildings here are made of crystal, what would happen if a certain giant were to crank it up to 11? Would everyone be rendered temporarily blind? Something akin to thethe crystal heart? Something awesome?

See you in the morning.

>>29427995
>Welly well well. What brings whats her face here?
I know her name, but would anyone remember it after a few minutes of meeting each other irl?

>>29428599
Was she actually named? I don't recall.

>>29428731
She was, and she was the one to tell us about the changeling war preparation.

>>29428734
I checked anonpone. I don't see her name anywhere. Is the anonpone cyoa missing a threat that gave her name?

I'm scared

I fear she might be a DMPC that the Qm is trying to force on us

>>29428801
I must have been mistake, then.

>>29428996
DMPM? A dungeon master player character?

>>29430018
Yes

Basically a Mary Sue and the Qm's mouthpiece.

>>29427995
Hug the mare. It's kinda our deal at this moment.
>Hey, how've you been? You never write, you never call, it's almost like you don't care anymore! So, whatcha up to?

>>29428996
>>29430256
>This paranoia.
>Just because she explained some of my garbage lore last thread.

Would you like me to swiftly remove her then?

>>29430438
No i'm not joking.

>>29430438
- Follower of a cult you added to the list of god (At least it wasn't there in the version you where given in the general)
- Posted Hope in unrelated pic of her when asked about giant size
- First character of another cult we meet
- Remains supremely calm despite us basically insulting her and her beliefs
- Meet her again of all ponies

You gave all the reasons to believe you at least had a boner for Hope. And that's the main fuel of annoying DMPCs

>>29430470
Okay then, I'll begin planning a scenario to get rid of her then. I mean nobody wants this character? Welp, I can just put them in the grave yard.

>>29430485
I don't have much of a problem with her.

>>29430438
I HOPE THE FOOD HERE IS EDIBLE

>He's going to throw away the potential healer character.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

>>29430653
They also have to heal the enemy and constantly tell us to stop being violent

>>29430659
But I like party members with conflicting interesting. Keeps things interesting. And Hey. Free health care. You really gonna turn that down?

>>29430682
Yes.

Beliefs > Utility

>>29430438
Kill kill kill kill...by sitting on her face, yesh

>>29430485
She's poorly implemented, but killing her off is a bit much.

Welp, i'm on the fence now.

Would anyone mind if I took back the hope horse's appearance in the last post?

Sounds stupid I know, but given the generally poor reception I kind of just want to be rid of her now.

Either that or you have to deal with her character being suddenly very different since her last appearance was piss poor when it came to that.

>>29431219
Well if the majority vote is here leaving, could you make it reasonable instead of, "Ok so she's dead now."

>>29431219
Hug her and claim her as ours.

>>29431219
I personally wouldn't mind her staying. So long as she doesn't become that boring know-it-all sage type of deal. And obviously she can fuck right out of our party, no hippies allowed.
Maybe keep her as a recurring character? Could even provide that conflict of interests that other anon spoke about, especially if we met on the battlefield.

>>29431292
This, you can always say Acre was seeing things
After walking on the sun for too long and providing the other team members some shade to hide, just like what happens in deserts
Kinda weird for the crystal mare that has gotten a giant just gazing at her thou, poor mare

>>29431292
I dunno. Having her be recurring is already seeming like a bad idea and this is just the first time she's come back.

If I keep bringing her back I might keep perpetuating this assumption I have a boner for Hope or some shit.

On top of that her character isn't particularly liked.

tl;dr I don't think making her recurring is a good idea in the slightest given what everyone has said.

>>29431485
If you gave her more substance beyond being a quest giver that reacts neutrally to everything, she might actually become a character you can use.

>>29431485
>>29431516
This anon is right. That said, if you really think she should go, then fucking kill her off or something, we're not getting anywhere with this back and forth.

The way I see it - we spotted an alarming development, we called you out on it, so long as you don't go into too much faggotry, the story should work either way now. You want to remove her - fine, she's not a proper character yet. You want to keep her - fucking develop her and she'll be a welcome sight on our travels.

So a bit of an update. Was hoping to actually do the quest today but now it looks like I need some time to think of a way to make this character not be complete cancer.

May run a bit later into the night than usual to make up for it.

But anyway yes, I need a little more time to figure out just what to do here.

>>29427995
"Oh, if it isn't miss 'Do no harm' what are you up to today? Healing Sombra worshippers?"
>She sighs heavily.
>"If you must know, I am simply here to ask for some bandages." The mare replies with slight aggravation
>"Right away." Small Savings says as he scavenges for the bandages in his bags.
"You sound a bit frustrated today, what happened to you?"
>"Look, I am simply just not in the mood to deal with you right now. Can I just have my bandages and leave?" The mare responds.
"Geez, fine. I didn't wanna talk to you anyway."
>Small Savings finds the bandages and gives them to the mare.
>The mare pays without a word and leaves but without uttering an angry "hmph!" before departing.
"Wow, what a bitch."
"What is she even doing here?"
>"The disciples of hope are actually usually hanging around the crystal empire." Small Savings tells you
"Oh joy, that probably means more of these idiots."
>"There's a reason alot of people dislike them Acre, their code is only against hurting people physically."
"Oh, I get it. So they heal people but they're giant cunts about it."
>"Most of the time yes."
"That's shit."
>"Isn't it?"
>(1/?)

Alright got that out of the way.

>>29432826
>but not without uttering an angry "hmph!" before departing

Typos.

>>29432826
"Is she a regular customer"
>"Can't answer for sure, they all hide their faces. For all I know she's the only disciple of hope that shops from me." Small Savings responds.
"So, they hide their faces, heal jerks and act like cunts? Geez, no wonder everyone hates them."
>A few more hours pass as you help run the shop.
>Ponies come and go, but eventually you see Blue Seas and Mandible walking around the market.
"Hey, what are you guys doing out here?"
>They come over to you after hearing you call to them.
>"Well, we got kind of bored cooped up in the Inn so we wanted to go check out the empire." Blue Seas says before pushing up on his glasses.
>"You wanna come look with us?" Mandible asks.
"Sorry, I gotta stay here and watch the shop."
>"You can go if you want, I only really need you around for the smaller villages. Here in the city I can just call for the guards." Small Savings responds
"So, I can go?"
>"If you want to, it's completely up to you."

>Explore the town with Blue Seas and Mandible or stay at the shop?

Welcome back to things you forgot to mention before! on this episode we have Blue Seas wears glasses but you never bothered to mention it until now because you're a forgetful twat.

>>29433426
Lets hang out with our new friends.

>>29433426
Stay, you never know when savings may need help
Ask for them to get something nice for us thou

>>29433426
Must explore new city...there's trouble out there to get into

>>29433426
Come let us adventure with our friends maybe we shall find some ponies in need of Celestia's divine presence and or hugs.

>>29433892
>You elect to go with them, after all he wasn't wrong he could just yell for the guards here in the city.
"You sure you'll be fine without me?"
>"Positive, now go on.You can trust me. I'm a grown hobbit." Small Savings assures.
"Alright then."

>You begin to walk with them.
"So, what were we doing?"
>"Just having a bit of a look around town." Blue Seas says.
>"The funny thing is, I actually feel more welcome checking out the town here than I did in the celestial city." Mandible says
"Well, why's that?"
>"I don't get as many judgmental looks here as I did in the celestial city."
"Why do you think that is?"
>"Why wouldn't they? The coven of chrysalis and the celestial order have been at eachother's throats for centuries. It's only naturally they'd be wary of the race that makes up the majority of the coven."
"I guess that kind of makes sense."
>And so you all take a walk around town.
>The general population appears to be crystal ponies (Who would've guessed.) and they all seem to be relatively kind folk.
>You go to a few shops and landmarks generally just sightseeing.
>You even buy a little snowglobe from one of the souvenir shops.
>You didn't need it and it was probably too tiny for you but fuck it, you liked it anyway.
>Eventually you find yourselves sitting at a restaurant eating a meal.
>Though your meal is more like a personal feast given your size.
>And you're all chatting with eachother.
>Yes even Mandible, changelings only get their MAGIC power from love energy you dolt. They still needs to eats.
>Blue Seas sips his drink before speaking "So, Acre. What was life in the celestial city like? I've never actually been within it's walls myself, though I did hear the others in the cult speak of it in contempt..."
Like I said, i'm gonna run a bit later than usual so were not gonna stop here.

>>29434491
What other? Did we miss anyou? Ah whole care we busted up the statue and put your old leader in a full body caste.

>>29434491
)Well it was kind of grand. Granted everything was still small with the exception being the door to the cathedral.
(I'm assuming)
Can you guess what a big mare like me is doing with a Savings?

>>29434491
>I'm a grown hobbit
Yeah sure, right. Anyway, Celestia's city wasn't half bad, really. Kinda boring.

>>29434491
It was nice, but fuck celestial beds. You seen those things? FUCKING TINY! What're they made for, hobbits? Er, no offense.

>>29434588
>>29434599
>>29434910
>>29435081
"Well it was kind of grand. Granted everything was still small with the exception being the door to the cathedral."
>"Well, pony cities usually aren't made with giants in made obviously. No offense." Blue Seas responds.
"Yeah, I guess. Anyway life there was alright I guess, if not just a bit boring. Not much happened."
>"I wish I could say the same about my life."
"Speaking of, what others were you talking about? There was only the 3 of you in the caves when I got there."
>"Oh, we expected retaliation so we- well...rather they evacuated. But the master stayed behind in arrogance thinking he could handle anyone himself. Us two just didn't have time to escape before we had felt your presence within the caves."
"...W-wait, s-so....most of your guys are still out there?!"
>"I guess so?"

>To be continued.

So yeah it's super late now and I really need sleep but hopefully we shouldn't have to do this late again.

>>29435201
It means we need to come back and cuddle them into submission one day.

>>29435201
Oh? You felt my presence did you~?

>>29435226
But that's too far. If they return to the cave and see the destroyed statue and no Smog, it safe to assume they dispersed. No way of finding them.

>>29435201
So Blue, about the hugging....

>>29435226
>>29436053
>>29436063
>>29436069
"Uhhh, any idea where they could have went?"
>"Well, no. Either they came back, saw the statue destroyed and Smog dead and left. Or they came back but ran into the celestial army and got detained." Blue Seas responds
"I hope so. Otherwise I'll have to hug them all!"
>"Heh, yeah. I guess..."
>"So...can I ask, what was that about anyway? The, hug I mean."

>>29436552
Well one. Confusing. No one would expect your enemy to hug you. Two. I could afford to hug you seeing as you spells at the time had little effect. Three. You looked like you could use a hug?

>>29436552
Just sort of seemed like the right thing to do at the time and hey it worked didn't it?

>>29436552
>You just looked like somepony who needed a big, Strong, dependable mare to hug you.
Really now, why did we hug him? Was it just something that seemed amusing at the time? Was it to demoralize the enemy when they realized that their enemy could afford to hug him while he was casting spells?

>>29437032
Sort of a mixture of 'it will immobilize the remaining enemy' and 'power of friendship'.

>>29437040
That and they exuded and edgy aura that needed to be purged via a motherly hug.

>>29437084
This

>>29436552
You guys wanna visit the museum or something later?

>>29436552
>Tfw want to ask about Blue Seas past but you'll probably need to wait a bit until you're a little closer friends before he'll be willing to open up about it.

"So, are you ever going to talk about what went down with you and Smog? Or are you just going to bottle it up forever?"
>"Well, I mean if you really care to know..."
>"I'm curious too, I wanna hear this." Mandible butts in.
"Hey, don't pressure him. He might get spooked and become unwilling to tell us."
>"No, no it's alright. I figure I might as well talk about it now, so I can forget it later. There'd be no point in trying to forget later THEN finally deciding to tell you and having it all resurface." Blue Seas says
"Alright then, so where does it start? Tell me where the trouble all began?"
>You say this in a joking way as if you were some kind of therapist.
>Blue Seas on the other hoof emits a sigh before beginning to speak.
>"Alright, so. It all started when I was just a little colt. Now mind you my memory is fuzzy so not everything will be 100% accurate. All I remember is one day, my village was caught on fire. It all burned to the ground...my home...my family...then, he came..."
"Smog?"
>"Who else? Now, at the time I didn't know they were the ones that caused the fire in the first place, but i'll get to that later. Anyway as I was saying. For whatever reason, Smog felt merciful that day, so he took me in. I was raised by the cult, and for the longest time they were all I knew...I did many things I am not proud of today, but recently Smog had begun to sense my fear. He knew I wasn't as devoted to the cult as many of the others, things were starting to get strained by the time you showed up. And by then I was just looking for a ticket to escape it all, and you gave me that ticket."
"Geez, that's kind of fucked up."

"It seems kind of short though, surely there's gotta be more?"
>"Look." Blue Seas says as he wears a look of sorrow.

>>29438013
We should look somewhere that can enchant stuff, the anchor is probably something rather easy to dodge considering it can be seen coming from far away, and since it isnt really a short ranged weapon even something with minimal seeking power would be most beneficial, we are civs so our accuracy sure isnt pin point either....we should break some stuff to pratice that sometime
While at it we could get something for the armour too, we have the bits from the bounty after all so it shouldnt be a problem

>>29438123
Don't you touch those bits. We should save those for a rainy day. And enchanting armor implies we'll be seeking danger

>>29438013
Damn hug him again.

>>29438176
>We should save those for a rainy day
Such as...?

On the other hand, I dont like having deep pockets, not saying that we shoud do that to search for trouble but better be prepared for whatever comes our way, we ve been sorta active with the battles afterall
Main thing is the anchor thou, as i said before, no point of using it if we cant hit nothing

Btw did we keep the door-shield thing?

>>29438252
What's wrong with the anchor? It works as a giant hooked flail when you hold it by the chain, or a club.

>>29438252
What if we spend the bits on a mobile home?

"Well, you seem like a guy that needs alot of hugs."
>"You could say that..."

"Anyway, getting off of touchy subjects. I wonder if there's some kind of enchanter around here. I should really enchant my anchor with some kind of magic to make it more useful...you know considering it's kind of easy to dodge."

Oh God this was hilarious but we'll owe so much in property damage. A drunk giant is a destructive giant. Let's see. The cost of booze and property damage, how much will that cost? I figured we will have to pay that seeing as followers of Celestia must adhere to the law.

We should tell Savings to be ready to pack up and leave in the morning. If we're awake before shit hits the fan.

>>29440906
Dude we're meant to be a paragon of order I think we're going to have to atone for all this and given our funds that's probably going to mean working off our debt.

>>29440906
Yeeeeaaah no. It would be UNLAWFUL to not pay for all the damage, don'cha think? You don't want to lose favor with our patrion goddess do you? Because I sure don't. And unless they explicitly say we have to leave then we can stay for however long we want to.

Don't you guys think that's we're the ones that were being the asshole and not the religious medic?

>>29440963
No.

>>29440956
>>29440933
I dunno, we've kinda won two not-so-insignificant battles - one against a terrorist group of Sombra followers and another against the vanguard of Chrysalis's army. All of that while avoiding killing and protecting others as best we could. A little drunken clumsiness is nothing, especially since it was not deliberate. Let's not get too artistically over zealous in our worship, we're doing fine. I think. OP?

>>29440974
o-oh. ok.

>The sun rises over the horizon and light creeps through the inn room's window.
>Your eyes crack open slowly to meet the light.
>Unfortunately it feels like your skull is cracking open too.
>You were pretty sure you had a severe hangover.
>Just wonderful.
>You sit up with a moan of pain, placing a hoof on your forehead as if to keep it from shattering due to the pain.
>It wasn't really helping though.
>Mandible and Blue Seas wake up with much of the same, a severe headache, obvious hangover.
>Small Savings seems to take notice of this.
>"Just what were you three doing last night?" Small Savings asks.
>"Err...well" Mandible begins
>"We..." Blue Seas adds.
>They both look at you.
(W-why are you looking at me like that? They don't honestly expect me to bail them out do they?)

>>29441899
Sssshhhhh. So loud. Hang over. It was supposed to be a few drinks.

>>29441899
Savings. Come join the cuddle pile.

>>29441899
>We're tired from....sex.
Acre is terrible liar.

>>29441992
Making it as awkward as possible for the two jerks expecting us to bail them out sounds hilarious.

"Oh, we're just tired from the sex last night."
>You say this with a smug grin, trying your best to sell it.
>Blue Seas and Mandible both immediately give eachother a quick glance as their faces turn as red as tomatoes.
>"That's not what happened at all!" They shout in unison.
>"Well, what did happen then?" Small Savings asks.
>"Uh...well...errr I...we...." they both speak in unison still trying to come up with some kind of excuse.
>"I....uhhh." Blue Seas says.
>Eventually Small Savings has had enough.
>"Okay, you what forget it. I don't want to know! I'm gonna go set up shop, feel free to join me if you want but i'm just going to let you sort this out amongst yourselves." Savings says as he exits the inn room.
>Blue Seas and Mandible both emit a simultaneous "Phew."
>"Really though? Sex? How would that like...even work size wise?" Mandible asks.
"You wanna find out?"
>He wordlessly leaves the room, leaving you and Blue Seas.
>Blue Seas just lays back down trying to bear the headache.
>How you managed to be so smug through the headache you'll never know.
>What should we do today?
>You've probably weirded out Savings and made both mandible and blue seas feel awkward so far.
>Though with your hangover you don't know if doing anything in particular would be a good idea.

>>29442754
Well isn't Acre the smuggest mare around.
>"Do you wanna find out Blue?"

>>29442754
I lold.
>>29442959 this, push the awkward. Whatever he responds tho, look for hangover cure. Or more booze. Will healing potions work for that? We should still have 2

>>29442754
Morning sex with a hangover doesn't sound like the best idea.

>>29442754
Locate water LOTS of water and food the greasier the better.

>>29442959
Do this while laying your head on his belly and dont move until the headache goes away, we really could use a better pillow

But if he says yes then activate banic mode and spill all the spaghetti

"Do you want to find out Blue?"
>You lay your head on Blue's belly.
>"I'm in too much pain, even if I wanted to it wouldn't really be that great with my skull splitting apart...Plus, I think you're a little too big for that to work." Blue Seas responds as he holds his hoof on his forehead just below his horn.
>You take your head off of blue.
"Look, i'm gonna go look for something to cure this hangover, you just wait there..."
>You think what if you're healing potion could stop the hangover.
>You drink one.
>...
>Oh wow, it worked! That or it just numbed the pain but either way you can't feel it anymore and that was enough for you!
>Suddenly though there's a knock at the inn door.
>You answer it as Blue is still in too much pain to.
>It's a crystal guard.
>"Are you Acre The Giant?" The guard asks.
"Uhhh....yes?"
>"I'm here to present to you this fine for damage to public property!" He then gives you the fine.
>"Pay the fine or serve a sentence in jail, the choice is yours!" The guard then slams the door shut and you hear him stepping downstairs and outside the inn.
>Well....shit.

>>29445193
What's the amount of the fine or the jail time? Lets remember that pony cities aren't durable enough for a drunk giant.

>>29445384
>You read the fine print.
>Yadda yadda yadda property damage.
>Total amount 1000 bits....
>If this payment is not met within a suitable time frame you may be subject to 1 week of jail time.

>>29445670
Do we have the bits?

>>29445670
Oh fuck. This is cutting into our magic anchor fund

>>29445670
Wonder if we can negotiate for community service.

>>29445670
Even if we have enough, considering we don't have anything to do I'd rather find a way to work it off.

>>29445670
When the last day we can pay the fine?

>>29445193
We still have that shrinking potion, and I remember buying two healing potions.

You guys know where I'm going with this.

>>29445193
...well, let's go find the city's job board and do some odd job.

>>29445769
There's a magic related pun in there somewhere.

>>29445670
Shit. Basically I'm in favour of either sitting for a week in prolly way too small cell, or working it off. I don't want to loose our bits.
