Snek, a pen and some loose sheets of paper, zip-ties, bolt cutters, your flak jacket a scalpel, a pound of monster jerky, .308 rifle (13 rounds) and sub-machine and some rubber booties
You gave 05-27 a crowbar and his journal.
But right now, you have nothing but the shirt on your back.
Your heart sinks as 05-27 looks to you for an answer, What does he gain from sticking with your party of escapees?
"What do you want?"
>"Like I said, I don't know," Flushbolt answers.
"If you really want to leave I understand. I really do, but... I don't want you to."
You sit down next to the wall and hold your knees.
"I don't want to lose friends, and you know more about what's above than anyone else."
>"Look, peppermint, I already told you that I don't even know what I want."
"Well!? What are you gonna have staying here? This is going to continue being the same old musty terrible place. I don't know what's exactly outside but you can ask PB! She knows I'm just, this is really frustrating you know?"
>"I guess, I mean, you're at least taking it like your frustrated."
"This isn't about me, I don't know how to make you happy. I mean... Don't you like me?"
>"What?"
"No, I didn't mean it like that I mean.... Are we being mean to you or..."
>"Look, I've justt known some bad ponies and..."
"I want to help you though, We can put Speckles in another room until we leave her I can try to help you get over her I just."
>"Peppermint, I'm not going to make a choice now. So, for now... Let's just, go back to your camp."
You sigh, "Yeah, that sounds good..."
When you get back to PB and Spearmint, 08-42 has calmed down, and is now wrapped in a blanket in the corner of the room.
>Spearmint smiles at you despite the worry on her face.

>>30196969
Give her a the same look back, ask everyone what they want to do next, what they want to do now, and what they ultimately want. Spkls too.

>>30196969

Take Spear aside and ask how it went.

>>30196969

Let's head back to camp and have flushbolt help sketch out a map of the floors above with the sheets of paper we have.

>>30196969
Maybe later PB can tell us a story on the outside world.
Did she mention the Saddle Arabians being near by? Maybe we could, learn some etiquette and social stuff to fit in when we escape.

>>30196969
Ask PB what she would need to gather evidence. Does Flushbolt know of any place that could have something PB could take?

>>30196969
check with PB and Spear how their conversation went.

Then talk to Speckles ask how she's feeling.

>>30196969
Let’s return her look and go check on Specks.

>>30196969
Ask speckles if she feels like talking now.

You smile back at Spearmint and crouch down next to Speckles.
"Ya feel like talking?"
The filly turns face away from you and buries her nose in the blanket.
"Okay then."
Turning around you trot up to Spearmint and PB.
"So, I take it your talk with her went well?"
>"At first she was really nasty, but I just held her down until she stopped struggling. So I guess it went as well as It could. I guess." Spearmint answers."
>"Yeah, real ground breaking technique you're using on everypony there, champ. I sure you have a bright new career as a psychiatrist ahead of you." PB sneers.
>"Why, Thank you!"
>"I was joking."
>"I know, but I also know you're not angry with me."
>"You, trying to change that?"
"What happened?"
>"Well, our friend lost her patience with the filly before I held her down. so, she still a little bitter." Spearmint answers.
>"Can we stop talking about it?"
"Okay, what kind of evidence do you think you'll need when we get out then? I was wondering if I could start gathering you some before we get out."
>Photobomb bites her lip and looks around the room, "Well, if I had pictures... or documents, with official seals or maybe a hard-drive or data chip full of info would work. Also Some of these clothes help since they have logos on them for a genetics lab and projects that I doubt are legal."

>>30197383
Okay ask Flushbolt where there is some places that files or some datachips might be stored at.

>>30197383
Ask flushbolt if he knows any passwords to computers.

>>30197383
Ask Spear and PB what they think we should do with Speckles?

>>30197383
Let's askON, if she can tell us stories about the outside world and indirectly inspire Flush Bolt to join us.

>>30197383
See if Flushbolt could draw us a map when we get back to camp.

>>30197383
Ask PB what she knows about Saddle Arabia.

>>30197525
Pepper and the others are in camp.

>>30197383
What everyone else said plus ask about paper files, a couple of boxes of files or a video would be nice, even one of those laptop hardrives would work. Just the hard drives though, we wouldn't want any butmunching robots tracking us.

>>30197531
Oh. For some reason I thought we were still in the room we had speckles locked away at.

>>30197540
What if there's nothing on the hard drive? And how would we keep it intact outside of the laptop?

"So, what do you think we should do with the filly then?"
>"Ditch her," PB says immediately.
>Spearmint glares at Photo Bomb, "I don't know, maybe she'll warm up if we just cuddle her a bit and really show her how nice we are and."
>"I already burnt that bridge, She has her mind made up on us, I don't think we're going to change that."
>"She might for give you if you."
>PB cuts Spearmint off, "I fucked up. I'm sorry but I think she's hopeless."
"I think I'll leave you two alone for a bit."
You decide to talk to Flushbolt who is scribbling something in his notebook.
"Hey... Do you think you could... Draw us a map or think up a place were there are some files or flash drives or any information we could use as evidence about this place around?"
>"Uhh, I never really tried taking note of where that kind of stuff was. I guess I could draw a map if you really want."
"That would be amazing!"
>"Where do you want me to draw the map of?"
"Up above"
>"There's a lot of building up there."
"Well what can you draw a map of?"
>"There's the hangers where the Queen lives, Air exchange and climate control. The visitor's dorms and the meeting rooms."
"That's a lot."
>"I'm not drawing a map of all of it. I can't even remember all of it off the top of my head."
"That's fair, I'll think about what I need."
>The colt sighs, "Okay."
"Do you want to hear one of PB's stories?"
>"Not... Fine, sure I guess."
"Okay, follow me!"
The two of you close in on PB.
"Hey, could you tell us a story about outside?"
>"What kind of story?" the mare asks.
"Well, maybe you could tell us about Saddle Arabia, I mean, We're gonna see it first when we get out, I might as well know some things."
>"Saddle Arabia? Well, we're in Tabuck, they grow rice around here. There's a casino near by..and a beach. Saddle Arabians are big, and without cutimarks. But, there's a lot of Equestrian ponies living around here. and half Saddles."

Calling it here for the night, I have to wake up tomorrow.

Good night.

>>30197756
Lets ask about the beach and what it's like.

>>30197756
half Saddles? you mean a Saddle Arabian and a pony got together?

>>30197756
What do half saddles look like?

>>30197756
So half saddles are a mix of pony and Saddle Arabian? Thats neat. Giants compare to ponies, but drawfs compared to the Aravians.

Say PB. Why do ponies wear saddles? I know they're for when you want to ride a mount and it's kind of for fashion, but why exactly? Is it supposed to be symbolic during coitus?

>>30197756
so what are the differences between Saddle Arabia and Equestria?

Is the casino and beach near where the city is at?
What are some things you can do at a casino?

>>30199424
Bump

>>30200126

>>30197756
Air exchange... is that where air vents intersect with various parts of this building? Does it lead outside? Are the vents large enough for ponies to fit through?

>>30197756
What a out the place you came from Photo? Anything cool there?

>>30197756
We should ask abut half Saddles and ask for a map of the hangers and the climate control areas.

>>30197756
what are some things unique about saddle arabia.

>>30197756
Is there anything speckles wants to hear about the outside world? Even if she hates it, it is better to learn more about than know very little or nothing at all.

>>30204197
That's a really good idea.

"Half Saddles?"
>"Yeah, half Saddle Arabian half, something else. Half breeds are pretty common these days."
"What are they like?"
"Tall ponies, or tall mules... or, nevermind, taller than a pony a little shorter than a full-blood Saddle."
"So besides being big, what else is different about Saddle Arabians? Well, a full-blooded one has no cuti-mark, and they are only, well, like an earth pony. But they are Saddle Arabians. They also, have a really hard time using magic stuff."
"Hey PB, What are saddles for? You know, besides fashion, on ponies at least."
>"I think it's just a kink thing. I don't know, I'm not rally into that sort of thing."
"What's different from Equestria in Saddle Arabia?"
>"It's mostly desert, they are kinda behind technology wise and they have the last ruling monarchy, after Twilight released her power over the state. past that, I don't really know. I stayed here two nights before getting stuck in here, and most of the time I wasn't trying to get in here I spent in the hotel trying to keep myself away from the casino."
"Okay, Flushbolt, is there anything you want to know?"
>"I don't know her very well. What about something about you Photobomb?" The colt asks.
"Yeah, tell us about where you grew up!"
>PB cringes a bit, "Uhh... well, I grew up in a suburb in Filly Delphia mostly, we moved a bit when I was a kid. I remember mostly keeping to myself and watching cartoons. I liked the ones about solving mysteries. I kinda always wanted to either find a real ghost or unmask a "Bad guy" when I was a filly breaking into abandoned houses, but I guess I never really got a chance to. I also remember one of our older neighbors who I used to talk to about aliens and other scifi stuff with. I think my neighbor was my best childhood friend now that I think about it.
"Hmm, Hey 8-42, is there anything you want to know about PB?"
The filly just tries to shift more away from you.
Photobomb sighs.

>>30204515
So what are some popular movies or music that you know about PB? I mean I'm sure given your work you didn't pay close attention to it but you may know something about it.

>>30204515
Twilight is the ruler of Equestria right? Is she a alicorn? (not sure if we know or not but if possible ask this as well.) She's a natural alicorn like the few others out there right?

(her answer might get speckles attention.)

>>30204515
>"Hmm, Hey 8-42, is there anything you want to know about PB?"

well what about the outside world? Surely there must be something you'd be curious to know about. Something your queen might not have told you?

Someday you'll be leaving this place and it would be better for you to know more of the world outside.

>>30204515
so what was Fillydelphia like? Did you like it there? What about Equestria in general?

>>30204515
What's your favorite food PB?

>>30204515
what are some good scifi movies? When we get out I'd like to see them.

Hey Spear have you something you wanted to ask her?

>>30204515
encourage Speckles to feel free to speak her mind if she want's to ask for something.

Ask PB what are some things we should know about when we are in civilization. Anything etiquette wise we should know about or certain laws or customs?

>>30204515
Where else have you gone in pursuit of your next big scoop?

>>30204515
what are some other places then Saddle Arabia and Equestria.

>>30204515
Hmmmmm~?
Come on filly. I know your curious. You'll complain and go 'HEILEN SIE UNSER FÜHRER!,' and if say that's not relevant to the topic - You know what it's fine. You can listen if you want.

"Come on Speckles, I know you're curious. Come on, ask her anything."
>"Peppermint, after what I did, I really don't think she wants to talk. Just leave her alone." Photobomb assures you.
"But, she's..."
>"I think Photobomb is right." Spearmint continues, "Just drop the subject."
You think her hear some sobbing coming from the filly.
>"Hey Spearmint?" PB continues, "By the way, I'm sorry."
>"We're not talking about it." Spear answers.
You decide to drop the subject for now.
"Okay, so PB, you said Princess Twilight gave up her rule? When?"
>"About 30 or 40 years ago? I mean, she's still our princess, but she just gets paid by the state to do her princess of friendship duties. Whatever those are. I think it's just a heritage thing."
"Oh, well what's Fillydelphia like?"
>"Like any other big city... Well, I guess you don't know what that's like... There's a lot of ponies, and it best not to talk to most of them. also, it think the crime was getting worse when I left. I don't know what else to say."
"Okay, well, where else have you gone, besides Equestria and Saddle Arabia?"
>"I sort of work-cationed in the wyrm islands. Dragons live there. and I had a flight that stopped in people's republic of Yakistan for a few hours once, when the plane refueled, followed by ice forming on the wings. making my stay longer. I've mostly been in just a few places in Equestria chasing stories though."
Are there any things I should know about the culture of Saddle Arabia or Equestria so I don't cause any commotion?"
>"I don't know how to answer that. I mean, you should be polite I guess. I don't know."
"Alright, what's your favorite food."
>"Fried ice-cream sandwiches. I don't get them often."
"Fine, how about Scifi movies, do you know any good ones?"
>"Yeah, I used to practically live on them, and crypto-documentries. There's Fire in the sky, Battlestar, Starwars, Dune, Evil dead, Krull, High lander, Just the first one, and..." PB Stops.

>>30204921
"Where do you think we should hide, if we get out? Do you have any good spot we should head for?"

>>30204921
Do you think the patwrite company might go after us once we escape?

>>30204921
Should we see if we can do something to comfort speckles..?

>>30204921
what are crypto-documentries?

>>30204921
Dragons? What are they like?

>>30204921
Where's the quietest place to live in equestria? How big is equestria as a whole? How do you think the common pony would think of us if we interacted with them?

>>30204921
Would outside ponies help save everypony here that was left behind?

>>30204921
>PB Stops
Something the matter.
Use your ears to see if there's any commotions outside. It's probably nothing.

I kind of want to help Speckles, but I don't know if I would make things worse. Maybe we should go exploring soon?

>>30204989
So long as we're discrete. We need clothes to hide our butts.

>>30205034
It's the study of creatures whose existence might be disputed or unsubstantiated.

>>30204921
What were you going to say, PB?

>>30207525
Buh

>>30209062
Boo

>>30204921
Does she hear or see something? Do a perception check.

>>30204921
Perhaps we could give speckles a extra blanket or comforting hug later?

>>30204921
Draw our weapon close to us if there is something out there.

>>30204921
Speckled? 21? You ok? Gib her to Peppermint for hugging duty? Everyone needs a tender hug in their life.

You've found one of the few mysteries of the world PB. You ever think about the others? Maybe aliens?

>>30204969
How to get money is a better question. How will we survive outside? You can't just kill a pony and eat them. Gonna need jerbs.

>>30204989
Only if we flaunt our stuff. HEY LOOK AT US WE'RE RUN AWAY EXSPERIMENTS HUR DUR.

You whisper to PB.
"Why did you stop, did you hear something?"
>"No, no, I just, kinda thought I was boring you.listing movies doesn't really do much for us in here."
>"Yeah, you were kind just going off there."Flushbolt adds.
Photobomb sighs.
"So, I guess we're gonna need to find some clothes to hide our flanks when we get out huh?"
>"What, because your ... Spearmint, doesn't have her cutimark?"
"Yeah, among other things."
>"We could just tell ponies that she's either a late bloomer or that she's part something that doesn't get cutimarks. Sometimes half-breeds don't get them."
"Well, do you know any place we could hide when we get out? Like, are there any quite places in Equestria?"
>"Well yeah,"PB answers, "Most ponies live in the cities, but there are a ton of quite towns and just, undeveloped areas. Do you not want to live near ponies or something?"
"Well, what if Patwrite comes for us."
>"Huh..." PHotobomb stares at you for a moment while she thinks, "I don't know if they would. Maybe if we got you a bunch of exposure right away... but that's an if it works out type of thing..."
PB stops again and looks at the door.
"Is it just you stopping again?" You whisper.
>"No this time I heard something."
You hear scraping and a low chortle outside.

>>30210612
Death dealer filly time. Brandish the crowbar and give the gun the Spear. Flush is already armed.

>>30210612
motion for everyone to keep quiet and arm themselves. If we are lucky whatever is out there will move on. otherwise be ready to fight.

>>30210612
do we recognize that sound as anything we faced before?

>>30210612
Tell them to come in. We were just having a friendly chat. Would they like to join us? Get your knife ready.

>>30210650
I don't think it's a pony buddy.

>>30210612

that said. Can we stealth fully take defensive positions without making too much sound?

>>30210672
I think the doorway makes a good chokepoint though.

>>30210681
of course. if we could quietly make a defensive position to take advantage of that it would be great!

>>30210612
We should make sure that the doors are secured so nothing we don’t want to can get in.

>>30210704
without making too much noise.

>>30210612
Could it be the pegasus psycho?

Get the weapons ready. Check the surroundings.

You quietly pick up your crowbar, motioning for the others to arm themselves. You've never hear that particular noise before, and you don't like it. As you look for something to brace the door, you spot some kind of appendage slide under the door, followed by more. A couple of scratches echo in the room before you spot the handle beginning to sage as it's being mover from the other side. You hear a slip as the handle jumps back up.
You realize that PB and Spearmint must have cleared out most of the junk that was in the room at some point. You have a blanket still, but that doesn't seem like it will help that much. There is also an adjustable light on a large arm hanging from the ceiling. The room also has some cabinets that you might be able to squeeze into, but they are too small for Spear and PB.

>>30210916
Break off a cabinet to use as an improvised push shield. And discard the blanket.

Use your telekinesis to grab onto the tentacles and hold them in place. Then, open the door ajar and stab it with the straight end of the crowbar as hard as you can.

>>30210916
Back away from the door. Motion for the others to take positions that would allow them to hit it at the doorway using it as a chokepoint if it tries to get in after us.

>>30210916
Try to sever one of the tentacles with the crowbar and then rip off one of the cabinet doors as a shield.

>>30210916
Does it seem like it knows we are here? or is it just testing the door.

>>30210916
is there nothing to help block or barricade the door?

get the two with guns in position to crossfire the monster if it tries to get in.

>>30210916
Get the thermite and the 308 rifle ready. We're probably going to need it.

>>30210916
Look at how Flushbolt is reacting he's been on this level for a while he might know what's happening.

>>30210916


>>30211199
Agreed maybe we could quietly ask Flushbolt or Speckles if they know whatever that thing outside is.

You wait to see if the creature continues to pursue getting in as it probes the bottom of the door.
Eventually the creature manages to crack the door open and you slam the pointy crowbar down on one of the antenna, prompting a loud screech from the creature.
"You the cabinets as shield!"
The door flings open and a searing pain erupts at the tip of your muzzle as the creature manages to scratch you.
You step back in pain dropping your crowbar and both Spearmint and PB fire the guns at the creature.
The creature stops it's advance for a moment as the bullet and shot pelt it.
"Flush, what do we do!?"
>"Kill it!"

Stopping here for the night, I'm starting to slow down and I have an early morning tomorrow.

>>30211300
Bash it's legs with the crowbar. try to hit it at it's joint.

>>30211300
Get away form it and let them keep shooting; under no circumstances should we let it touch us.

>>30211678
we dropped it out of shock and are in a lot of pain, I think that’s going to be pretty hard.

>>30211300
Regain control of our crowbar, TK it at the eyes, try to blind it.

>>30211300
Can we do the fire spell? If so aim for the eyes, all of them.

>>30211300
try to overcome the pain and use your magic to get the crowbar back.

keep away from the monster. And strike at it whenever it tries to get closer.

>>30211300
Smash it in the head with the crowbar them push it outside into the hallway where you can detonate the exspolsive spell.

>>30212249
You've already forgot the spells? Shame on you anon. Go read through the archive again.

Tasty sugary bump.

>>30211300
use our explosive magic on it. We can't let it hurt the others.

bump for you

>>30214194
This, tell the others to stand behind cover and use the explosive magic on it.

You try to tell your friends to stand back, but in the moment all you manage is an infuriated sort of roar as, PB and Spear fire a second round of shots.
It occurs to you that you may be able to drive the creature back with your combustion spell. You pump a minimal amount of power into the first few volleys to keep from burning your friends, but you manage to begin driving the creature back.
Picking up your crowbar you continue your assault putting a little more power into your combustion spell as the creature continues to retreat.
You feel a bead of sweat run from your forehead to your chin as the balls of flame kiss your with their bursts of heat. You begin panting and taste your own blood running into your mouth.
You manage to drive the creature out of the room, but your magical onslaught seems to be getting less effective as the creature begins to stand it's ground more and more.

It's not a solid ball The Spell combust, which is the one Pepper learned From Spearmint creates an explosion of flame from a single chosen point. With this spell and Peppermint's current grasp of the use of magic, she cannot grab the explosions she's making.

>>30217100
>>30217125
And there would be no oxygen.

>>30217125
>creates an explosion of flame from a single chosen point
Thanks for the tip bath.

>>30217100
Shit out of luck anon. Why not....

Create the largest explosion you can manage without fainting (doubt that's possible but I thought it was worth suggesting) right underneath the creature, or the unexsposed neck? Those look weak.

>>30217139
Can you be a little more specific? If you mean to suffocate the creature then I'm not sure how effective that would be. If it's like most insects then it wouldn't have a set of lungs. It's like full body breathing.

>>30217070

stab the hook end of the crowbar into the fleshy underbelly of the creature while creating a new combustion fireball on the creatures head.

>>30217070
be very cautious not to pass out. if we do we might end up as it's food. Fall back to regain our strength if needed.

>>30217070
use the cabnit door as a shield and the crowbar as your weapon. when it tries to strike block it with the shield and then hit it with the crowbar. Avoid the beak. those tubes connected to it might be acid or venom.

>>30217173
Wait. If you think the under belly is fleshy, then why not say cast Explosion under it's belly instead of its head? The head looks like it's armored.
>>30217272
Multitasking is a bitch.
>>30217070
Focus on using the cabinet door as a shield (do we have it?) And blowing the thing up. If we have no cabinet then use the crowbar to parry.

>>30217159
I meant that if the fire is put in a bible then it will burn out the oxygen very quickly and die.

>>30217383
Bubble, I meant a magic bubble.

You notice a soft looking joint near the creatures claw, so you plunge your crowbar into it, you almost manage to cut off it's digits as they begin to flop uselessly as the creature reels back. The monster's head flips up into the air as the creature extends it's antennae and open's it's maw wide, letting out a intermittent roar. You take the opportunity to fire another combustion spell at it's soft looking neck, releasing the horrible smell of burning hair into the room.
The creatures legs begin to coil, it's hear still raised high.
You catch small moments of yelling from behind you, but you can't make out if it's warnings or praise. You wish you had some sort of shield but , for now your magic and your Crowbar are all you hold, against your wounded foe.

>>30217446
We should back up a bit, in case it tries to bring its head back down and stab us with that sharp beak looking thing, and so the others can get shots in.
Try stabbing it in the neck with the crowbar too, while it's vulnerable.

>>30217446
leap back. That creature is probably about to lash out in pain.

>>30217446
Seconding "Leap back" but let's leap back and sideways, somebody probably wants a clear gunshot at the exposed soft under-neck.

>>30217446
Looks like it's poised for a bite attack. While it's maw is open, shove the crowbar down it's maw while you back up to keep some distance between yourself and it. I don't expect shoving the straight end of the crowbar to kill it outright.on the other had the crowbar could be held horizontally longways and shove it between it's lower and upper madibles to keep it At bay while we get some distance.

Wait. Why can't we just break it's neck with enhanced telekinetic strength? We going though all this trouble for nothing?

I'm passing out here, I think I'm going to call it a night.

>>30217536
Do it I fucking dare you to have a goods night rest.

We need to get back from it.

>>30217446
Move back and to the side (firing lines for our friends) while keeping the crowbar between us and the thing.

>>30217446
dodge to the side and circle around beside or behind it. strike where it's beak and claws cannot reach.

Recognizing that the creature is about to pounce you shove your crowbar down it's throat and jump back and out of your friend's line of fire.
The crowbar shoved down the creature's maw seems to slow down the monster a bit before it lurches forward and jumps. As it's claws touch the ground and you plant your feet on the ground a couple of blasts pop in from your little camp, followed by a bullet tearing through the creature's shell and shot scraping chips off the armor and penetrating some of the flesh.
The creature moans as it tries to lift it's body for another round of attacks.

>>30223455
Us the TK to yank the crowbar out of it's mouth. should be painful to the creature.

>>30223455
strike the combustion spell on it's neck and legs.

>>30223455
While it is recovering,get behind cover and do the combustion spell again, but now that we know about the joints, use it on his weak points like on the middle of his leg

>>30223455
Jump up and stomp down on top of it's skull to drive the crowbar deeper in.

>>30223543
that could be dangerous as it could throw us off or we could get shot by accident.

>>30223455
Use your telekinesis to break it's neck.

>>30223543
I agree with that anon that disagrees with you.
Your plan is stupid beyond measure.

>>30223455
I think we should jump back and then try to yank the crowbar back.

>>30223455
burn it's neck again and avoid it's swipes.

>>30223455
try to cut off it's legs with the combustion spell.

You look for the crowbar but the creature's beak seems to be covering it, and you jammed it down far enough to not be able to see it.
Giving up on your crowbar for now you try to take hold of the creature's head with your telekinesis. The creature is strong, and you can feel a pull on your horn as it resists your attempts to twist it's head. You release your hold and the creature flings it's head up, in an attempt to coil down and pounce again.
As it rises you try to use your combustion spell right on the joint of it's left leg to hopefully detach it. Unfortunately, the spell doesn't explode so much as it radiates lame from a single point, and this only serves to toast it a bit.
PB fires the shotgun at the creature again and manages to hit the neck, distracting the creature.
You hit it right under the head with another Combuts blast, causing the hairs on it's neck and head to begin smoldering.
Spearmint fires another shot and hit's one of the tubes running to it's head, spilling a bile smelling fluid on the floor.
The creature thrashes around a bit before taking a few last steps before laying on the floor and bleeding, the smell of burning hair and bile filling the hallway.
Your legs are shaking, as your breath gets heavy You chest tightens and your body feels heavy. you begin panting and the taste of blood seeps into your mouth.
You face stings where you were scratched, but instead of nursing it you just watch the dying creature. You watch it's limbs slowly curling into a ball.
>Spearmint yells to you, "Peppermint! Are you okay!?"
>PB follows with, "Kid!?"

>>30223928
Is it poisonous?

>>30223928
Slump into a sitting position,
> Yeah I think I'm mostly alright but I'm not looking forward to getting my crowbar back.

>>30223928
We need to ask Spear if she thinks it was was venomous right now. Assuming it isn’t then I guess we are ok, let’s just try to get our crowbar back without getting anny body fluids on us and go back.

>>30223928
>our face stings
O fug were we poisoned?

>>30225035
That's what I've been worried about since we got that cut.

>>30223928
I kind of want to clean up it's head to use a a weapon. That shape flat bill it had from this post looked deadly >>30217446

It's all jaged and sharp. Granted if we're not going to die from toxins or over use of magic, we should totally take the beak and find a way to weaponized it
Maybe make an improved spear or axe by attaching it to something. Like the crowbar? But after we recuperate.

Now if it turns out that creature was in fact poisonous, and there's no way to cure this, then we should suggest everyone push on without us. Or stay and wait. Whatever they want.

>>30227441

>>30228105

>>30229413

>>30223928
check to see if the creature is still alive. if not try to use the magic to get the crowbar back.

Afterwards reenter the camp and have your cut looked at. Ask the others if they've ever encountered something like this before.

>>30223928
"And this is why I don't consider myself the same as these creatures. I don't care if I'm born in the same process or not. I am a pony, a living intelligent being. not whatever this was."

>>30223928
hit it with something to make sure it's dead.

Your breath slows to heavy inhales and exhales as you give the creature the stink eye.
You grunt as you nudge the monster with your telekinesis. The creature only continues to curl up. You put more power into rocking the head back and fourth. You move it, but the creature doesn't seem to respond. You flop down on your haunches releasing a sigh of relief, before you find yourself just flopping onto your back. The pain a the tip of your muzzle and now your left cheek sets in as the adrenaline works it's way out of your system. You begin to cry out.
"Augh, why!? Just why?"
As you finish asking your vague questions you notice that Spearmint is right next to you.
>"Y-you're gonna be okay."
"Spear, do you know if these things are poisonous?"
>"P-poisonous!? I don't, what are your symptoms, are you hot, cold, are you sweating? I don't see any inflammation..."
"No, that scratch just stings! A lot!"
>"I don't know if it's poison, F-flushbolt do you know?"
>"It's probably just full of germs," PB adds, "This whole place is gross! I'm surprised we don't all have Ebola or fucking dysentery."
>Spearmint ignores PB and instead asks, "The vodka, do we still have the vodka!?"
>"Way ahead of you." Photobomb adds as she hold the bottle.
Spearmint rips it from her hooves with her telekinesis. As she holds it in her telekinetic grasp the bottle trembles around wildly, you can see Spear trying to steady it, but it just doesn't seem to be working.
>"This is going to sting... A lot, but it's worth it."
Spearmint spills a bunch of the liquid all over your face, and it burns. You scream as the pain wracks your system.
"Ahhh! This is why We're nothing like these stupid monsters Spear! That thing just attacked us, no reason, and then it just kept on going like a, I don't even know!"
>"Hold still Pepper"
You reluctantly obey as Spearmint pours more on you and begins rubbing it with some cloth.

>>30230672
>*whimpering filly noises*
Well if it's germs then thank goodness it's not poisonous.
We probably need some rest to recover from the magic exertion. Think about the bright side. Pepper is flexing her magic muscles. She's on her way to becoming a stronger unicorn.

>>30230672
Ask if anyone else was hurt and how much supplies do we have left.

Ask Speckles or Flush if they know anything about that monster.

>>30230672
Let's just make sure our cut is clean first, we can talk to everyone and afterwards. I have a feeling that Speckles may have tried to get out so we should check on her.

>>30230751
I think Flush would have said anything he know.

>>30230672
>>30230751
It's pretty obvious that Pepper was the only one to be injured since she was pushing the monster back herself. It's not even worth asking.

>>30230852
>let's make sure our cut is clean
What are you? Blind? Spear is already taking care of that.

Some rest to recuperate would be good. A few minutes to rest. And spit out all that blood in your mouth.

>>30230672
ask how much ammunition we have left? Also where did this thing come from?! Did it knock down the barrier down the hall? or did it come from the stairs?

>>30230672
try to remain still while she cleans the wounds. Thank them both for it.

>>30230672
What a the current bullet count?

>>30230672
explain that we wanted to keep that thing away from the others. couldn't let it get further in and hurt anyone.

>>30231018
Seems like a bullshit answer. When I suggested pushing it back into the hallways I thought we could just scare it off.

"Spearmint? Thank you. And thank you PB."
>"For what Pepper?"Spearmint asks.
"Cleaning me up."
>Spearmint forces a smile though her worry, "That's what I'm here for."
After Spear finishes cleaning you up she lifts you on her back and Brings you back into the room.
You take a swig of vodka to wash out your mouth and a second for the pain, by Spearmint's request. Afterword, Spearmint lays with you and just begins stroking your mane and humming.
"So, where did you think that monster came from."
>"I've seen those things crawling on the ceilings and the walls, it could have been anywhere." Flush bolt answers, "By the way, you're freaking ruthless."
"I just wanted to scare it away, but I think I was just making it angry."
>"You chased it down waving a crowbar and spitting fire."
"I didn't want anypony getting hurt."
>"Well, I guess it worked, but that was still crazy. You know, I would think that we would have helped if you didn't decide to chase it down solo."
"Just how many bullets did we use anyway?"
>"I fired three single shots and PhotoBomb fired three too." Spearmint answers.
You estimate that there are 6 shotgun shells and 10 .308 rounds remaining.
You notice that the smell of bile has overtake the room as much as it did in the hallway.
"I want that thing's head."
>"Don't ya think that's a little bit too much vengeance?"PB asks.
"No I think we can make a weapon out of the beak."
>"Maybe," Spear answers, But cutting through that shell to make it usable is going to take a long tine."
"I could always try bashing it off. After I get my crow bar back, of course."
>"Pepper, you need to rest, everybody stop bothering her"
"Spear, I'm not sleepy. I'm just bushed."
>"Peppermint,you need to rest."

>>30231174
go ahead and rest. who will take first guard shift though?

Also we have a lot to do later.

>>30231174
>scrunch
But I'm a big kid. I fight monsters and stuff. I guess a nap won't be so bad.

>>30231187
About what?

>>30231199
map making, gathering supplies, trying to find evidence, etc etc.

>>30231174
Go to sleep bath

>>30231174
Let's get a barricade across the door with the cabinets (maybe get the less exhausted members of the party to do this) and get some sleep.

>>30231223
Oh and remind PB to make sure her bandages are clean.

>>30231174
a rest means a chance to be dinner, it can wait

>>30231174
Take a rest, i'm pretty sure they can do those things for you whille you are asleep

>>30231174
I think we should go to sleep but not before mumbling to barricade the door and for PB to check her bandages.

Let's do something after we get up bump

>>30233598

10

>>30234538

>>30231174

Is speckles still here? There are no other creatures out there is there?

>>30231174
