A Foal's Adventure - Thread 1 Redux S.Nowball 09/06/16(Tue)23:41:15 No. 28356081

> Welcome to a Foal's Adventure, hopefully with 100% less bullshit. Please wait while I get everything in order, including previous posts.
> Note - Until further notice, this is a narrative only story. The main problem with the last attempt was an overly complex combat system that led to ass chewing and drama. I'm not changing the story or the characters, just wiping the board and scrapping combat/survival mechanics until I can make a simpler replacement. I don't care if you wanna talk about what happened before, but not on this thread. We're moving forward from that. Mistakes were made.
> Let's try to keep it civil, or as civil as /mlp/ can be, I guess.

> >>28356165
> >Then...
> Clover turns around into the dark confines of her room, closing the door quietly behind her. This time, she's more than sure that her "home" is about to fall apart.
> She digs through her small stash of belongings-it was less sparse when her dad was around, but when he didn't come home, they had to "make do" with what they had. She takes an old rucksack from under her bed and begins to stuff her belongings inside.
> Somehow she knew this would happen. The tears begin to form before it's all said and done. She found only a select few items worth snagging; her wooden dagger, a doll her father gave her, the candle from the nearby windowsill, just in case she needs light.
> From the hallway, she can hear her mother and "father" moving about, the rest of the argument having fallen through.
> >And then...
> Clover scans the room for any books or items she can take from what little she owns. Unless if she wants to bring a few broken toys with her, she'll have to stick with what she found. The thumping from outside is becoming more apparent, her parents moving around without words between them.
> She decides that tonight is the night. She can't live like this anymore. She knows that the only thing her mother can give her is a hushed hug and maybe a biscuit for the road, if there were anything left to eat in this house.
> Deciding not to put her and her mother through the pain, she tosses open the window quietly, stepping up and tossing her mostly empty bag onto the grassy floor below. She follows through with herself, landing on her hooves with a quiet thump.
> Clover is outside of the house now. She doubts she can climb in through the window on her own to get back in, and she doesn't think it'd be smart to head through the front door. Not with her Step Father on watch.
> What does Clover do? By her estimations, it is probably a few hours before dawn.

> Clover thinks hard about what she knows about the landscape. She knows that she's far west, close to the ocean. She thinks she lives north of a town called "Vanhoover", but she's not entirely sure.
> She knows that to the East, her Uncle lives in a house beneath the floating city of Cloudsdale, as a "talking pony" or something, to the Pegasus. But she doesn't think it's safe there, either, because her real Dad's side of the family is in big trouble.
> She knows he isn't coming back. She hasn't seen him since she was nothing more than a tiny foal.
> Her mother, on the other hoof, mourned for a while before becoming desperate enough to seek another. That's where her step father came in.
> An idea to search the area for more items strike her, and she has two options worth checking. Her mother's small garden in the front yard, and her step dad's old shed. But whatever she does, she must hurry. She doesn't know what they'll say if they catch her out of her room without permission.

> I hope that QM didn't quit. The faggots should disperse after a few threads and be replaced by people who actually wanna play the fucking CYOA instead of criticizing every fucking decision the QM does. You can't appease everyone in the thread. I vote for returning old combat system and playing the game as QM intended it to be played. I mean we didn't even pass the fucking intro without people going ballistic over a game mechanic we didn't even test out yet. I really don't understand why this guy is getting so much hate for no reason...

> Clover thinks about her meager supplies and frowns. What could she do with a toy, a candle, and a plushie? It's definitely not enough to go off of, even if she knew how to make things out of stuff off of the ground.
> She'll need some tools for sure. A tinderbox at the very least.
> Heading to her father's shed, she checks the lock with a hoof. It wasn't even latched, thankfully, so she slips inside the small room.
> Digging around, she finds a box of matches, spindle of thick string for construction, and her Step Dad's toolbox. She sets it on the floor, reading "Property of Heavy Hammer" from the front. Isn't his name Iron Hammer? Maybe he stole it from the nearby lumber mill.
> Digging through the box, she doesn't find too much of interest, except for a heavy hatchet at the bottom. This will definitely help! Testing the weight in her hooves, she gives it a little swing, stumbling from the sudden imbalance. Maybe not so good for fighting, but it's something.
> The rest of the shed seems pretty barren, except for gardening supplies.
> Heading to the front garden, she picks through her Mother's growings. With fall coming in, her Mother had already harvested most of what they needed, but she managed to find two cucumbers and a big tomato that seemed edible. It'll have to do.
> The house seemed awfully quiet to her. Most of the lights were snuffed out, but she could hear her mother humming softly from the kitchen window as she she banged around with cabinets and cutlery. Odd. But she was too far gone now; no turning back.
> With her flanks to the east, she made her way through the thick underbrush of the forest. Maybe one day she can come back and deal with that green jerk, but not today.
> Clover begins to feel uneasy being so deep in the woods. She turns back to give one last look in the direction of home, her heart tugging her to run back and hug her Mom once more.
> Now what?

> There's literally no reason to go back home; it's pretty clear our stepdad is abusive and we already stole tools and shit. If we go back we'll die.
> Going to the coast actually makes sense because we can find a ship to stow away on, which is our best bet for transportation right now. The ship will hopefully take us to a major city which will be a much more workable situation than wandering Equestria on foot.

> Clover arrives on the coast after treading through the forest for what felt like hours. To be fair, though, it probably was. It's now well into the morning as she rested her rump on the fine grain sand, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the sounds and smells of the nearby ocean.
> It reminded her of the first time she went to the beach, with her Mom, well before she met... Him. Clover built sand castles with her, and swam around in the shallow waters. That must have been two years ago, but much closer to town.
> A loud boom startled the lil' pony from her dream, two ships having taken residence on the once peaceful ocean. A large ship circled close to shore, untouched as a smaller one in the distance drifted to the safety of the shallows. How she didn't notice before, she has no clue. But it wasn't a fight that had just begun. By the looks of things, the smaller ship had lost this battle, and wouldn't float much longer.
> Clover spots a black flag on the closer ship, and a surge of adrenaline runs through her. Pirates? Pirates!
> Maybe they will land close by? Would it be safe to approach a group of pirates who are robbing another ship?
> And in the back of her mind, she thinks "Finally! Some excitement!"
> What should Clover do now?

> Clover follows along the shoreline as the boats draw closer, ducking into the bushes as the Pirate ship drops anchor. She watches in anticipation, the other ship limping into the bay. The main ship begins to unload long boats, the first piloted by a single pony. From what Clover can see, it looks like a stallion. With magic, he begins to paddle for the shore as the other boat draws in, settling in the bay. More longboats appear; a total of six, each piled with crewmembers or crates.
> Clover isn't sure what's going on. Usually when pirates raid, don't they just hop on the ship and toss the cargo?
> She watches as crewmembers begin to dock onto the shore, her eyes wide with awe. REAL Pirates! One of them even has an eyepatch!
> But the pony that catches her eye is the grey bearded one for sure. He must be the captain; he definitely looks like it, minus the hat, parrot, and maybe the pegleg.
> (I'll try to draw the Pirate Captain real quick. A better view.)

> >"Highwind, what in blue blazes were you thinking? Your stallions hit our powder kegs. You were supposed to make it CONVINCING, not deadly. We have two injured because of you."
> The imposing grey Unicorn laughs, throwing his hoof around the shorter one.
> >"Nonsense Coin! It's not convincing if there aren't any wounded. Besides, we're committing fraud here. It's not often I plunder a willing victim."

> >"How did you come by this?"
> >"That, I can not tell you. But it came from Equestria, and somepony tried their damn hardest to keep it out."
> Suddenly, clover feels a pat on her shoulder. Turning around, she's face to face with one of the pirates, who's staring at her blankly.

> >"I see! Eager, are we?" Highwind smiles, motioning to the boat. "Now, run along to that long boat, the one by the shore. Oh, and for future reference... you didn't hear any of our discussion earlier, got it, lil' one? I'll be with you in a minute; just have to finish our little chat. It'll take us about a day to sail there, but we'll talk about that later."
> Clover nods with a grin; finally, a turn of luck! The quicker she can get out of nowhere, the better. Maybe the city life is for her? After all, she has her whole life ahead of her.
> Trotting through the sand, she hops up into the long boat, kicking her legs to get on. She finds it much more comfortable than the sand, and after a minute, Captain Highwind tosses her bag in after her.

> >"In due time, little one. Let's get settled and on our way, first. Besides, you need to meet the crew in earnest."
> The boat lands and Clover climbs aboard, looking out to the see as the other longboats begin to ship off. New goods are claimed and the crew sets to work, but Clover gives one last gaze to home before the anchor is lifted.

And of course, Mr. Popular today, Silver Saber is downstairs. Don't enter his room, and do NOT talk to him if you see him. In fact, come straight to me.

> >"Ah! So you're thinking of something like a Magic Archer, or maybe a Ranger? There's certainly benefits to taking on multiple skills, but don't think you can do it all. How about this; pick between Magic Archer and Ranger. Magic Archers use a spell bow to fire enchanted arrows of all types, and can do all sorts of neat stuff using their weapon as a catalyst. A Ranger, on the other hand, doesn't rely so much on magic. Instead, they use it to assist them with nature related spells, like vine traps. Their weapons are more physical, and thus, can break and run out of ammo. Magic Archers have no need for ammo, and can even enchant their weapons. But they both have their flaws. Magic Archers are great for short term combat, because they invest all of their energy into destroying their opponent, while Rangers can last longer but at the cost of damage. Rangers have to invest more time into honing their mind AND body, while Magic Archers focus mostly on the mind, while learning to be quicker on their hooves."
> Highwind thinks it over.
> >"And I can you could probably try being an Assassin, but that's incredibly difficult for somepony so young. It requires the most training to be effective, and doesn't have many ranged options. Rangers prefer to stay at a medium range, while Magic Archers can specialize in either close or far combat, but middleground is kinda iffy.

> Recommendation: We're going to have a Warrior OR Rogue and Witch/Healer join our party. Magic has a lot of uses out of combat, but requires a catalyst. Intelligence is great for persuasion. Strength is great for Intimidation. Dexterity is only used for sneaky stuff, but also aids in being a lil' liar.
> Strength adds Max HP, it's the only stat that does so. Dexterity makes it easier to dodge, and adds AP every two levels. Intelligence makes it easier to deflect/parry. All three of them have no real effect in combat otherwise, except letting you use better weapons.
> Magic Archer does massive damage but tires out quickly, resorting to basic attacks after they've been spent, but can also deal elemental damage. Assassin can sneak in any circumstance and always attacks first, and is a weapons expert who can deal bleed and poison damage. Ranger is physical only, but has minor healing and the ability to set up traps, and use weapons effectively. Traps are set up before combat, and sneaking can only be done by yourself. Your party joins after the first round of combat, meaning you're at high risk, but for high reward.

> Though for Party Members, their class is their skill tree, and can't change past that.
> Clover is allowed to major or minor in whatever she pleases, but learning a million things isn't going to help her in the long run.
> Another thing I forgot to mention: Stamina (energy) is granted from every Stat, Strength adds +3. Dex adds +1, and Int adds +2.

> >"A fine choice! Besides, Magic Archery is a lot less precise. Magic Arrows nearly never miss, and will always do the same damage, unlike normal arrows which require accuracy. The only drawback is that magic resistant creatures and barriers are hard to penetrate, which is why a dagger is your backup plan. Unlike bows, too, you have infinite ammo, as long as you have the energy to expend. Any questions? We'll be training until supper tonight, so let's get them out of the way now."

> Highwind places a small Iron Dagger and an odd, brass colored stick thingy in front of Clover.
> >"These are the tools of a Magic Archer. This here-" He points to the bent metal stick- "is a Magic Bow. It requires nothing but energy to fire. It's a heavily enchanted Focus, which is slightly different than a Catalyst. While it can't be used for most conventional magic like a wand or horn, it instead channels raw elemental power. Most spells can't be used with something like this, but because of it's nature, it doesn't take as much energy to use as normal magic. The dagger is something special; the gem in the hilt is able to absorb elemental magic, empowering the blade. With the right training, you can use your bow to set it to life."
> Clover asks a few questions, like how it works, how long it takes to master, and she even thanks him for helping her so much, and wants to know why he's going through the trouble.
> He starts with an explanation.
> >"First, you must hold the bow, and find a target. Imagine yourself as a cup, and that you're pouring yourself into this hole in the front. Stand on your hindlegs-yes, like that. Breathe in, and let yourself fill the bow with your essence. Now, take your other hoof and draw back like there's a string, and-yes! You've got it! Just like that."
> Clover draws a magic arrow, and fires at the wall!
> Next-
> >"Well, this boat ride and rare magical artifacts aren't free, Missy. I've got a job for you, since you're already well aware of what happened. You must have seen it, right? That package? Well, it's now your job to destroy it. Which is where my contacts come in. They're going to help you do so."
> Highwind gave a wry grin.
> >"And one more thing... you're my niece, if anypony asks. And my name is Silverwind. This beard isn't real, too; It's a disguise I use when pirating."
> To Clover's horror, he rips it off right in front of her!

> Clover gasps, shocked that it's her Uncle! Even though she never met him before, how could he recognize her? Is he going to take her home? Why is he posing as a pirate?
> >"Uh... kid? I'm not your real Uncle. I meant for you to PRETEND I'm your Uncle, 'cause my getup isn't too much of a disguise, and the security is gonna be a bit tighter than normal." Silverwind then proceed to remove his treasure chest cutiemark with a wipe of a washcloth.
> >"Usually I use a sticker, but since we weren't gonna get wet, paint is just as fine. Now... I don't pose as a pirate. I AM a pirate. But famous pirates tend to be hunted more than traders, so a disguise is necessary for port. The guards are always looking for Highwind, never Silverwind. Make sense? Besides, usually I wear an eye patch, too, but Coin Toss is friendly, so I went without it. But he still doesn't know my real name. And no, I'm not taking you home. You know too much. Instead, you're going to work for me and destroy this book. It can't fall into anyone's hooves, not even Royalty. In fact, Coin was trying to keep it AWAY from just that. A lot of ponies don't trust these new Princesses."
> Clover sighs in relief. She got all worked up for nothing! Out of curiosity, she asks if she can try on the beard. Highwind chuckles.
> >"Sure thing, lil' one." He says, sticking it to your muzzle with a grin. You ARE A PIRATE!
> Clover wants to know more about the book, and Silverwind simply lifts up the package.
> >"From what we know about it, it's not enchanted and it's not possessed. But the magic in here is powerful. Reading it will either blast you full of energy, or make you explode. And the thing whispers, too. Hold it in your hooves too long and it'll start whispering in some kind of weird tongue. Not only that, but it's bound to whoever willingly accepts it from the previous Owner, so tossing it out isn't going to help. Anymore questions?"

And on where to take it... well, if normal unicorn magic can't break it, then maybe one of my friends at port will help you. If only we could walk across the world and toss it into a volcano!" He laughs, being rather clever. It does remind you of an old story, about two midget ponies and a horn ring, or something. Clover thinks she heard her mom talk about it once.
> Clover asks if she can hold the book.
> >"Not yet Kiddo. Right now, we need to get outside and see if you have the talent to use your new weapons!"
> Silverwind picks up the filly by the scruff of her neck-a habit that she hopes doesn't become common-and sets her on his back, trotting to the door.
> Clover wants to know where she'll be staying.
> >"I'm a bit iffy on that. I don't want you to huddle up with the crew, but I'm not too keen on letting you sleep in my room. I uh... may have a sleep walking issue. It started the last time we visited Vanhoover, actually... in fact, something weird may be happening there. I'll have to think on it. Besides, Vee will know best."
> They reach the fresh sea air, and Clover apologizes for being calling him "Uncle".
> >"Hey now, you're gonna have to start calling me that soon. Now hop off, and get in position. I'm gonna be your sparring partner."
> Clover gulps. Sparring?... Hopping off the big Unicorn, she steps across the way, turning to face her mentor.

> Clover stands on her hindlegs, holding the Magic Bow in her hoof, ready to act.
> She is in perfect health, and well rested. (9/9) (14/14)
> Clover knows no spells or abilities
> >"Alright, now. A Magic Bow will always hit just as hard, but takes Energy to fire. If you don't have enough Energy to fire your bow, you'll have to resort to your dagger. Don't worry too much about being well spaced right now; I'm a Mage, so I wont be charging at you or anything, and I don't think I'm in the mood for outright blowing you to bits... so I'll let you test your weapons on me." Silverwind smiles, dipping his head forward in a combat stance.
> >Tutorial: There are lots of actions you can do in battle. Clover has two weapons, so you can either attack with your bow, or with your dagger. The bow costs 1 Energy to fire, unlike the dagger which is free to use. Basic attacks consume 1 AP an attack.
> >Tutorial: For this battle, Silverwind has 36 HP. He will call off the fight if it becomes too intense for him.
> >Tutorial: Magic Arrows are essentially Magic Missiles. You can aim around corners and other obstructions and always hit.
> Clover has 2 Action Points remaining for this round.
> >"If you can hit me, I'll teach you a spell you can do with that bow." Silverwind offers, his horn sparkling. "If."

Hone your energy into your bow, the entire object, not just the hole in the middle, and when my magic is about to collide, release it in a blast. Deflecting only works with weak, faster attacks, so deflecting a giant hammer isn't gonna work. It can block multiple light attacks, too.

> Clover grunts, the other two darts slamming with soft thuds against her chest. Received 2 Damage!

Remember, using a spell isn't like using your body; you have to pretend that the focus is your body, and devote your energy into doing your whim. It's a little easier for Unicorns, because it's kinda instinctual. But there are amazing Earth Pony wizards and witches alike. All of us has magic in our hearts."
> He steps back, clearing his throat.
> >"Now... the next spell I'm going to teach you is Elemental Bolt. There's lots of benefits to it. You can shoot magical fire to light torches or burn enemies, or freezing ice to put it out. Elemental magic is based off of emotion, not raw energy, and can be easily used just like you use your bow. Let your emotion well up within you, and pour it into your Focus, before releasing it in a burst. It's a lot more draining than just giving it your energy. A lot of Magic Users typically cast fire spells, because in combat, they get angry at their opponent and let it turn into a deadly force. Find whatever emotion is easiest for you to tap into, and let the arrow loose at me."
> Clover Learned Elemental Bolt! (3 SP). Deals Elemental Damage, and causes status effects related to the element. Simply determine what element to strike with, and let it loose!
> It's Clover's turn.
> Clover asks about the war to the south.

It'll also make it easy for me to make general sprites, so I wont have to make a lot of new poses for everything. I can make it look like the combat is taking place in front of an audience, too, if everyone would prefer that. I don't really like how it's set up now.

That drives wizards and mages mad alike. Okay? Things like that cost nothing to fire, but reduces your magic permanently."
> The magic fades and Clover nods, accepting that bit of advice. She asks if they tried to recruit him, and how he got the ship.
> >"Ah! Y'see, they tried to recruit me once. Once. But a few illusion spells and my brilliant acting ability led them to believe I'm much older than I look. They thought I was damn near sixty.

You need to be creative; there's many parts to magic, much more than you can understand. It comes from not only the world around us, but our very minds and hearts.

> I'm gonna go ahead and call it tonight, everyone. It's really late here; 5 AM.
> Besides, I feel like the majority of players are asleep.
> I'm gonna try running this nearly every day, whenever I have free time and I'm in the mood. I'll post ahead to tell y'all if I'm taking a long break or not.
> A thing about magic spells and abilities: I don't really want to list what you can and can't do with magic. If you didn't notice already, we learned a spell that is a base with a component necessary to cast. Elemental Bolt is pretty much a Magic Archer's bread and butter; all types of spells derive off of it. From poison inducing bitterness to electrifying surprise, it has no real limit on what element it fires.
> But if you feel like we could do more, we always can. Try creating a new spell in combat; like multiple bolts from a single blast, or maybe an arrow that knocks opponents away on contact. But it's not just limited to spells. Try using your dagger in new ways, like a spinning slash or a bucking stun; it's not all set in stone. If it's a good enough move, I'll add it to Clover's Spell and Ability list, and determine how much energy it takes to use.
> Magic Archer is the most versatile class out there, since your primary spell is based off of emotion. There is no ritual to perform or rune to read to cast elemental magic. But it does have its limits. It can't pick locks, or heal allies. It can't cast life into creatures, nor summon items. It can't do half of what a more magic focused class can do.
> Anyone have any suggestions they want me to listen to? Any ideas that may help the story?

They reach what appears to be an informal dining room, connected to the sleeping quarters, a kitchen directly connected to the area. Clover can see Fishnet dozing against a pole, the hammock behind him left untouched. At a nearby table, High Tide waves cheerily at the duo.

> >"Aww, aren't ya cute. I bet you'll be great in the bed when you're older!" Skillet says, giving Clover a toothy grin.

> >"Yeah, please don't talk about that stuff in front of the girl." Silverwind chips in, nipping a potato from the plate.
> >"Alright, alright, fine."
> Clover snuggles up into Tide's embrace, enjoying the warmth as she thinks about snatching the food from the table. She decides to ask about Tide's cutiemark first, and how she become a pirate.
> >"Huh? Well, I didn't start off as a pirate. I originally joined the Navy to explore the world, but I quickly learned that the Navy is a terrible, soul crushing place if you like having fun. So when Silverwind's ship attacked ours when we were transporting some spoils from war... well, I asked to join. And here I am! My Cutie Mark popped up when I was quite a bit older than you, lil' baby. I got it for my ability to navigate on coastlines."
> Clover then asks why Fishy isn't sleeping in his hammock.
> >"He's not allowed in his hammock during the day. Otherwise we'd never see him at all. So instead of just not sleeping, he sleeps in front of his hammock. Trust me, it's better than him passing out... well, anywhere else."
> The hammock specifically?
> >"Yep! It's almost impossible to wake him up when he's inside of that. We can't even turn it over some days to toss him out of it."

I could work in a five star resort, making the best foods a pony could ever desire, but in all honesty, I'd live off of hay nuggets if somepony offered it. And how I became a Pirate Cook? Pfft!

> That's better, but I'm then concerned that it would make the quest dark as fuck. If you have defeats result in lewds and the MC reacts realistically to them, I can only imagine that the whole quest would end up being defined by these depressing soul-crushing childhood-ruining moments. I could see it being ok as a singular plot point if we fuck up really badly, but any more often than that and you need to go full coltquest/foalquest to keep your quest actually enjoyable to read and play.

It'll keep the lewds, the lightheartedness, and the dark in perfect balance at the cost of a little bit of the story's integrity. Do you think amnesia potions/spells would be okay, only to clear the memory from the MC's head? Or should we do something else?

> Maybe lasting effects, but what if not all of them have to be gravely negative? What if she ends up enjoying it just a little? Not a lot of course because then it wouldn't seem like that much of a consequence to avoid--we still want to avoid losing after all--but maybe they don't have to be that dark. And like you said, not every failure has to result in lewds. Keep lewd losses for some of the battles, and whatever lewd losses we get can be a little lighthearted in some way.

> Clover apologizes for asking about Sabre. She was just worried about him.
> >"It's fine. It's better you know that there's a sick pony down there instead of us telling you nothing, and you decide to find out what that noise is."
> Clover wants to know more about the places Silver visited, and if he's seen any exotic gryphons or zebras.
> >"Well, believe it or not I've been to Griffonstone. Talk about fancy; they have more gold than some older dragons, I'd wager. Even dated a gryphon for a while! She had these piercing blue eyes... beautiful. It didn't last, though. She didn't want to join me on adventures; wanted to stay home and have some chicks... I'm not at that point yet. As for Zebras, I've never met any. Especially with the war and all; it's like a barrier between us and Zebra Lands. But I have heard about some pirates far south led by a zebra captain, but that's pretty much it. Most of my time has been spent in Equestria, Griffonstone, and more recently, on the coast."
> Clover asks about Princess Platinum. Was she really a snooty snob?
> >"Yep! As snooty as a snooty can get, really. Just more reasons to leave her castle. She always had this scowl on her face. There's not much I can say about her person; she wasn't evil or anything, but rather... I dunno. It's hard to tell with royalty."
> Clover would like to see Salt Lick, and ask about why he's always fighting with Sea Wind.
> >"Those two? Pfft, Salt lick is almost always upset, especially when it comes to losing. Sea Wind thought it'd be fun to challenge him to dice, and of course, Sea Wind won. He's been nothing but angry because he used to claim he was the 'dice king'. Not only that, but Sea Wind is young, and LOVES to rub it in. I guess you could call it 'salting the wound', eh?"
> Silver freezes.
> >"Was that a dad joke?... Jeez kid, you're making me more mature than I usually am. At this rate, I'll be building a deck by next week." He chuckles.

> Clover wants to know more about the war, but Silver kinda just waves his hoof at her.
> >"Eh, to be entirely honest, Equestria doesn't have a side in it. It's neutral ground. But by the looks of things, we may be taking one soon. It's between the Zebras and the nation below that, Whitherwater or something. I don't stray into those waters, nor do I keep up with political drama much. You'd be better suited asking somepony with a bit more of a brain than me."
> Clover frowns. But it's so interesting!
> >"Sorry kiddo. I've only been around so long."
> Clover asks if she can learn how to play dice, and what pirates do to pass the time.
> >"I don't think I should teach you to gamble... it's a bad addiction. Maybe tonight I'll let you play a game or two, but my advice? Never bet anything unless if you want to lose it. And we do other things besides gamble; we drink, we clean, we manage the ship. We even sing shanties when we're all working. But right now? We're kinda just laying about; a lot of the hard work has been done. All we have to do now is let the wind carry us."
> She questions if he has any neat treasures stowed away anywhere.
> >"Actually, I do! I actually have a giant chest buried off shore somewhere. It's a bit ironic, but it's for my safekeeping. I trust a bank about as much as I trust Skillet's cooking decisions."
> Clover then asks if she can practice with her new dagger.
> >"Well of course! You kinda left your equipment on the deck. For future reference, don't do that. I think Sunny picked it up. You'll find him at the helm. I'll see about getting you a training dummy set up on deck. It'll definitely help you pass the time!"
> Will clover train her Dexterity until supper? She feels she might learn more about her skills if she does so. She might be able to train another skill, if she wishes.

> Clover learned (Counter)! (1 SP). Avoid slow attacks and return the favor, striking critically with your dagger! Doesn't work on normal attacks.
> Clover now knows how to detect when an enemy is about to attack in Barrages, Waves, and Critical Attacks, and will be warned when any of these are about to occur.
> Clover was taught how to enchant her Dagger with elemental damage! Unfortunately, the dummy was burnt to a crisp after learning this. (Enchant) learned (3 SP, 3 turns).

> Clover squeaks, having forgotten all about her promise! She grabs her bow, asking where her bag is.
> >"I think I left it in my room. Here."
> Silverwind opens the door to the nearby cabin, popping in and out with her bag on his back.
> >"You should probably leave that in the empty hammock by the kitchen."
> She nods, trotting off to the stairway and down into the shelter of the ship. Tossing her belongings into the hammock, she canters into the nearby kitchen. She's immediately scooped off of her hooves and set onto a box, Skillet looking down at her.
> >"I knew you'd come! Now, before we begin, the rules. This is MY kitchen. You break it, you're gonna buy it, I don't care how. Secondly, there are no rules. Finally, don't get in my way. I'm a busy pony, cutie."
> Clover doesn't know how to respond to this, and out of reflex, boops Skillet on the nose.
> This only seems the confuse her. It was a very stealthy boop indeed.
> Clover sets to work in the kitchen, and does exceptionally well under Skillet's supervision. It's like she didn't even burn half of what she helped make! Delicious fried potatoes served with a hearty veggie soup.
> It's now dinner time. Who does Clover eat with? The crew seems pretty spread out; most seem to be eating on their own. Shanty and Timbers seemed to have found their way out of the Crow's Nest, too. Tide is eating with False Flag. The captain is eating in his quarters with Sunny Shores. Clover sees that Fish woke up, and is devouring dinner with Hook. The rest seem rather spread out, and Salt returns with an empty bowl from downstairs.

> >"Hmm... well, little one~ I'll trade you. I'll give you my story, if you follow me and do me one small favor."
> Clover gets a weird feeling, the looks, the talk, all of it making her feel a little warm. She isn't sure why, but it reminds her of the weird thumping she used to hear at night. What will she do?

> Since this is a lewd quest and there will obviously be rape involved in the future, I think that having consensual sex with a mare is probably the best way to break the ice for Clover. Better than getting raped right off the bat anyway...plus if Shanty gets too rough we can just run back to Silverwind.

> Clover is led to the floor above, into the Anchor room. It's surprisingly roomy; only the anchor and a few ropes, not to mention a big red pillow. Clover gives it a sniff, wincing a little. It smells funky!
> >"Okay little one. I'm gonna show you something you'll love. Lay down on the pillow-belly up! And spread your legs for me, deary. Not those legs, your hind legs."
> Clover follows the directions, using a hoof to spread her legs apart. She doesn't feel very secure, her private parts on full display to the mare.
> >"Mmm... that's right. Lay still. The favor I want from you... is this!"
> She leans forward, using either hooves to spread the filly's legs apart, pressing her muzzle between her lips. The touch brings a sudden jolt, making her back arch a bit.
> >"Sensitive, are we? All the better." She says, her tongue slithering across the filly's virgin slit.
> She asks what she's doing, her eyes wide as she leans her head back.
> >"Making you keep your word.~" She replies, kissing her now winking button. "I want you to orgasm for me. That's it. Then I'll tell you everything you wanna know."
> The strange mare continues her assault on the filly's sweet lips, her tongue darting into the innocent passageway with a slurp. Clover falls back onto the pillow with a huff, moaning in bliss.
> >"Good girl, already at your limit, huh? That was much faster than I thought. Stallions will love you~" Shanty continues, wrapping her muzzle lewdly around the puffy lips of the filly, forcing her tongue deep inside. Even she can't help but moan a little, the flavor sticking to her tongue.
> If it had a taste, it would probably be slightly tangy, with a hint of fresh lime.
> Clover can't help herself, and releases against the mare's intruding tongue, coating the inside of her muzzle with her slick lust.
> With a gulp, Clover's orgasm is short lived, the mare standing up with a wide grin.
> >"Good girl. Now, what would you like to know?"

> Clover enjoys the fading warmth for a few moments, shivering on the pillow. She feels just a bit slimy in her nethers, her insides tight. It wasn't entirely unpleasant. She asks what just happened, and what does this have to do with colts.
> >"That, little one, is called an orgasm. It's a magical thing that stallions have the hardest time giving us." She says with a chuckle."It's what happens when somepony rubs you all the right ways. When they do that, it's called sex. Heh... I can't help myself around fillies. I love teaching them what an amazing thing sex is~" She licks her lips, giving the foal a dopey grin. "Maybe tomorrow you can give me an orgasm myself, huh? Ooh... that definitely sounds fun."
> Clover is a bit confused; all of this is new to her, and she feels weird in a pleasant way. She yawns, asking about Shanty's history. It was the deal after all.
> >"Tell you what. You look tired, honey button. How about we find you a comfy hammock and toss you in, and I'll tell you an amazing bedtime story."
> Clover nods and follows the mysterious mare up to the living quarters, where most of the hammocks seem to be in use. Shanty helps Clover into the swinging sheet, the gentle lull of the boat rocking her softly.
> >"Once upon a time, in the magical land of drunkards and taverns, there was a beautiful mare with the talent for singing and stripping..."
> Clover listens in, Shanty taking a red blanket off of a hook and tossing it over her, tucking it in...

> Clover keeps her eyes cracked for Shanty's story, as she begins to explain her life.
> >"She could dance all day and all night, making all of the stallions want her. They gave her money, they gave her clothing. They gave her everything a mare could ever want. She was very happy. But not happy enough. That pretty mare had everything, but she didn't have one thing; love. No matter how many stallions she saw to bed, or how many bits she made, she couldn't find one pony who liked her. She wasn't ladylike. She didn't even have a friend to talk to."
> Clover stirs a little, the lewd stuff below making her uncomfortable. She uses a hoof to wipe it up through the blanket.
> >"Thanks for getting it on my blanket!" The mare joked, before coughing and continuing.
> >"One day, she couldn't take it anymore. The constant cat calls. The spanks on the flank, the bits tossed on stage. So she left the stage life, taking to the skies and flying far from her home in Whitherwater. She didn't bring a bit with her. She didn't want to. She didn't need money; she needed happiness. That very same mare was reckless, and crashed during a bad thunderstorm... to be found by a wonderful stallion. His name is Silverwind. Silverwind helped her, healed her. He didn't ask for anything from her. So she joined him, and when he got a hold of a ship, stayed with him."
> She smiles, Clover's head nodding forward as the filly closes her eyes.
> >"Together, they knew very little about sailing. But Timbers, who helped Silverwind with repairing the boat, did. And with a little persuasion on the mare's part, she promised to stay."
> Shanty cups Clover's head in her hoof, kissing her head before standing up, and turning away.
> >"Good night, little foal. Sweet dreams."

> Hmm... well, maybe. My hands are kinda sore from typing so much, drawing, class, and everything. I also need to work on shading. I'd like to do a little more than line art in the future.
> Now that I think about it, nah. I'll do cute pictures in the next thread.

> I WAS going to use a reference for the lewd, but I ended up just doing it from my head. I thought it turned out alright. I'm probably gonna dump all of this into my dA now. And I wanted to do a third panel, but I sometimes feel pressed for time, and I couldn't really think of a good angle... well, besides look at Shanty as she eats Clover out.
> I'm trying not to railroad this story, but there ARE things Clover needs to do, and needs to know. And the main quest is kinda "in this general direction", so I don't think we can fuck it up too badly.
> If anyone has ideas for sidequests, say so now.

> I saw no drop in quality comparing lewd bit and other story text. Do some more without reference, can be good practice I bet. As for sidequests...nothing really comes to mind other than getting on with Silverwind's book quest and possibly visiting Clover's uncle in the future. Maybe come back and get Clover's mom once we get some things going for us, but that sounds more like an end game goal.
