Last time on the fantastical fun times of ponies in fourcannon our ponies had engaged and defeated the twin terrors of whiskers and large rodents! Now you enter the room where you find a wrecked looking school room with a few bookshelves on the side of the walls, on the right corner is a door made of wood and iron. Pews line the walkway that leads up to a lecture stand that appears burnt with [15:11] a general feel of things being evacuted. [15:11] [13:31] The shelf is pushed down like a lever until it comes to an end against the side of the book shelf where a click is heard. The door swings open and runes around the secret door suddenly flare in to life in a bright red as the room you are in is suddenly bathed in a bright red light that looks painful to look into the room at first glance. A distinct sizzling can be heard by [15:11] the ponies before them almost as if something is pressing against a electrical skillet. [15:12] In the room of light you spot what looks like a large circle on the floor that spins in a geodynamic shape made of stone with runes along its out rims to reveal a billowing sphere of flame that is connected with etheral looking wisps of magic that run under the ground. The area near the stone circle is burnt black and the rest of the room is sterilized of everything except for some charcol remains [15:12] that smolder in the oppressive fire storm. The doorway seems to be holding back the heat for now also the door is open now though a purple like wall shimmers in front of the doorway. [15:12] Curious finds a small knapsack that has a bundle of herbs inside of it! Two of them look like ragged remains of some plant only do you realize after sneezing a bit the dust plumes around you as you look at the leaves. Beside it is an odd plant that looks like a triangle but glows a mossy green. Aurora was able to find a strange device that looks like a sextant, only it has a crystal at the top [15:12] and a large needle that points downwards with a guage at the top showing what looks like a steam guage for pressure. Tide locates some parchment that has some writing in basic! It reads; "By Order of the Princess we are being forced to close the school, the headmaster was hoping to get another grant for his reaserch but it looks like it just wasn't meant to be." [15:12] [13:52]  Hoof finds some quills and empy ink pots.   adventure   The two dusty leaves fluffle about in your grip leaving dust like a moth ther other is a mossy iridicent green glowly plant with leaves and a vine body type that is curled around. [Hi Flora we're in the first room so far] [15:11] [how far did you get?] [15:12] [we havent. still in the room we left off. though we found a giant glowing sun orb behind a purple veil] [15:12] [really? it's been 2 hours] [15:13] :/ We had a slow start still waiting on yall hue] [15:13] [daww well thanks for waiting I should be around now ] [15:14] [so are we in danger right now from the fire wall? [15:15]  * High_Tide gives a small stretch and looks around, growing restless. Can you recap the current room we're in? [15:15] [nope its behind a barrier of sorts] [15:16] Sure! [15:16]  * Flora looks around finding a ink well perhaps? [im not sure if one is still around but we are ni a school\ [15:17] == Mary_ONette [~kvirc@d-burl-bng1-64-222-152-5.ngn.east.myfairpoint.net] has quit [Quit: rage] [15:17] In the room you are in a large doorway with red runes highlights the way to the fireball room. Aside from that there is the entrance where you cam in from with a few pews here or there a lecturn for teaching that is burnt looking and the door off the right where on the same wall as the fireball room. [15:18] [can I take a more in depth look around this room?] [15:19] [shit sorry] [15:20]  * GreenHoof is totally here [15:20] "What the fuck is a leyline?" [15:21] [you did already? I mean thats what netted you that item of yours, though you can see that a rough looking chandler is above you that has long gone out. There is not much on the stone walls around you to be honest.] [15:21] "well I dont think we'll crack the runes or that barrier anytime soon. might be best to keep moving" [15:22]  * Flora finishes reading over what Rain pmed her and looks at the sack Curious is holding after she sneezed part of her brain out "You ok their Curious?" she looks up hearing Hoof bellowing about something that sounds familiar to her. She tapes her head "ugh I think I heard of what those were once before... I think it's something to do with magic lines" [15:22]  * High_Tide hums, walking back over to the door on right. Did we go through here yet? OOCly I think Rora and I were about to try this door, but got sidetracked by perception rolls. [15:23]  * Aurora looks at the big archway doorway to the big spherical fireball [15:24] "Magic lines... like in the ground? What, like fault lines back on Earth?" [15:24] "yeah im good, just seems snorting hundreds year old plant residue isnt good for your nose" [15:24] Nope haven't even tried to open that door yet. Looking at the door way reveals that there are runes carved there glowing red. [15:26]  * Flora arches a brow "hundred year old plants you say?" she says skeptically "In that sack?" she approaches her to take a peek [15:26] "The room with the orb looks like a dead bet right now. How about we try this door?" [15:27]  * GreenHoof scurries up behind High Tide, looking to the door he's about to open. He nods to the big blue stallion. "Sounds good." [15:27]  * Curious shows her the old plants and the glowy ones too "yeah, just sitting around on the floor, might want to hold your breath, sneezed twice now" [15:28] [wow i read that and sneezed myself] [15:28] [/me transcends the irc] [15:29]  * Flora peeks at teh plants and promplty sneezes as she mentally catches up with everything [15:30]  * High_Tide puts a hoof on the door and waits for the others to catch up. [15:31]  * GreenHoof is standing behind Tide, hoof on his crossbow grip ready and waiting. [15:31]  * Curious feels compelled to touch the glowing runes but just eyes them loningly as they continue. "later~" [15:34]  * Flora leaves Curious to look at the wall of fire before getting primed to open the other door [yea lets do it] [15:35]  * High_Tide shrugs internally as Rora seems to have fallen asleep. Reading his shield, Tide opens the door slowly. [15:35] [HALH:LGH:ALKHD\ [15:35]  * Aurora is here with crossbow ready [15:36]  * Flora wonders where everyone gets crossbows [15:37] == Alten_Stahl [~Alten_Sta@187.189.156.110] has joined #FourCannonPnP [15:38] Appraoching the door you twist the knob with your hoof again hooves how do they even work!? Inside you find Dummies in various states of disrepair line the one side of the wall where a railing runs parallel with the dummies with booths set up lined up to each dummy. On the other side of the room are more dummies looking for close combat practice and in the center of the room is a [15:38] wrestling ring made of frayed rope that is a circular line in the dirt. To the north is a door and over on the same wall in a different corner than the one you came through is another door way. [15:39]  * High_Tide trudges into the room with a hum, looking around. "Mannequins..? Now I'm confused..." [15:40]  * Curious trots past the mannequins in the long hallway, eyeing them up for anatomical accuracy and loose hanging [not penis] clothing or arms "huh, training dummies? could be the gym for the school or something" [15:40]  * Flora hasn't wrestled in so long and looks atthe mat with lust in her eyes before she creeps on over to it dragginga hoof across sensually " ahh~" [15:41]  * Aurora blinka blinks as they see a room full of training dummies "hmmm neat..." [15:41] "Hey did any of you guys used to wrestle before you came here?" [15:42]  * GreenHoof eyes the mannequins curiously, wondering what the fuck they'd need all this shit for. Were they training for something? Why would scientists and students need to practice fighting? "Hm... So they train and stuff. Maybe we outta keep our eyes peeled. I doubt a bunch of bookworms were practicing fighting for nothin'." He says, going up to one of the mannequins and poking it with [15:42]  * GreenHoof a hoof. [15:43] == Aurora [kvirc@c50-26-196-9.abilcmtk01.tx.dh.suddenlink.net] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] [15:43] "Not by my choice." Tide says with a chuckle, glancing at the ring. [15:43] "I had an older brother and father who did, and both of which whom loved to roughhouse with the nearest living beings...if thats what you mean" [15:44] == Aurora [kvirc@c50-26-196-9.abilcmtk01.tx.dh.suddenlink.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [15:45] fuck [15:45] [sorry KVIRC took a shit on me] [15:46] "I was good with my hands, but not fightin' with em." [15:46]  * Curious clonks her hooves "a trait which they certainly passed on~" [15:47] "Well I used to back in school" she starts to circle the mat the best she can with fucking horse knees "wasn't to bad but only problem for me was just finishing it up" she takes a shot across thank god her hips aren't fucked up like they would have been "but hey a great, tough, athletic, sport." she sprawls and circles back around "a real mans sport" [15:48]  * Aurora pokes her nose around the room, looking around the dummies or around for any left over equipment [15:48]  * Curious would also like to know if the dummies are naked [15:49]  * GreenHoof snickers at Flora internally, having a hard time imagining the zebra mare being a big male wrestler. He gets his mind back on task, however, and starts looking around for clues, lest they have to all go meet up back at the malt shop :D [15:50] The dummies are void of any armor aside from some rough wooden makeshift armor and weapons most of them appear to be the victums of combat maigc, holes, burns and other signs such as acid are on the remains of the dummies. [15:51] There are some wieghts mostly in the version of saddle bags that lay upon a pony's back to train their endurance or shin guards that do much the same. [15:51]  * High_Tide trails a dirt across the sand, humming. "Back on Earth I was in what they called a heavy-action roleplay. You know larping? It's like that but you have to sign legal papers. Takedowns were a pretty big thing there, since the only rules on wrestling at the place were no pressure points or limb manipulation." Tide steps back from the ring and wanders over to the north door, looking [15:51]  * High_Tide it over. [15:52]  * Aurora clippy cloppies her hooves over to the northern door, not really finding anything in particular she is interested in for now [15:52] The north door appears to be left as is with a normal looking knob upon it to be open by any intrepid passer by almost as if they where expecting to come back. Do you open the door? [15:54]  * High_Tide does so, but readies his shield as always. [15:55] Opening the door reveals a hallway that leads away and takes a slight diagonal slant which you follow easily enough, no traps seem to have been sprung so far and another door awaits. Do you open it as well? [15:55] "was it good sport? It sounds good but I've never heard of that before besides so vague thing my brother told me a long time ago, btu hey any sport where you takedown and eventually make the person submit or get choked out is a sport inded" she zips across the mat just practicing old moves and enjoying herslef to the fullest [15:56] "sounds pretty neat. hey maybe this was a military academy? these dummies dont look to be in the most pristine condition" [15:57]  * Aurora follows closely after Big Blue, ready to jump away from trouble [15:57]  * GreenHoof follows closely to Aurora and Cap'n [15:58]  * High_Tide doesn't open the door yet, waiting for the others to come along. "Yeah, I suppose so, I was still sorta new to all that at the time, so most of my experience was with fighting sword and board. Shame that it's so different as a pony..." Shrugging, Tide gestures for everyone to follow, and opens the door at the end of the hallway. [15:58]  * Flora scampers away from the mat now probably needing a shower she don't want the pony version of staph infection and follows the others "ahh good memories indeed" she lookd back longingly at it [16:00] Inside is a large room filled with the remains of bunk beds and foot lockers that have been bashed and turned to kindling most of them at least, however what draws your attention is the duo of small orbs of flame that rise up from the cackling fires that make up the room a subtle hiss can be heard from the orbs as their shape contorts from the orb to a small version of the quarry you [16:00] hunt! Roll inits ponies! [16:00] !roll 2d20 [16:00] 8, 13 == 21 [16:01] !roll d20+3 or hell was it 2 [16:01] (1) + 3 == 4 [16:01] !roll 1d20+1 sorry!

[16:04]  * High_Tide readies Duke as total cover from the fireball and curses, glancing over his shoulder and lighting his horn, aura covering Arara. "Rora! Pike over me!" [16:05] !roll d20 SORRY [16:05] 10 == 10 [16:05] !roll d20+5 for the crushing blow buff [16:05] (9) + 5 == 14 [16:05] [+2 to hit and damage on Rora's next attack] [16:06] [:33] [16:06] K den [16:06] Ohhey its rora's turn [16:06] fun [16:06] [oh i was thinking something completly different was attacking us] [16:07]  * Aurora grins, feeling THEFUGGINGMAGIAGAIG:LKCJ:LCCCCC dashing forward with her stalwart sword and hyaaaa slaaaaash a mini snake thing!

[16:09] Rora hits the wily fireball and suffers 2 damage lash back damage! Roll to damage Rora [16:09]  * GreenHoof draws his crossbow, trying to take aim. "What the fuck are we supposed to do? Be baby food?!" [16:09] [crushing blow buff? we got abilities now?] [16:09] !roll 1d20+5 [16:09] (11) + 5 == 16 [16:09] wait [16:09] !roll 1d8+5 [16:09] (6) + 5 == 11 [16:09] Well then [16:10] With a sqeual of a crying infant the orb burts into embers that land on the stone ground subtly glowing while the other hisses in despair. [16:10] "i dont know let's just go through the other door in the gym first" [16:10] [I can use the telekinesis skill to buff an ally's attack] [16:11] In Revenge it glows ominously and shoots a bolt of fire at Rora! [16:11] !roll d20+3 [16:11] (16) + 3 == 19 [16:11] [oh cool. didnt know we had that at all] [16:12] [mmm delicious 1934 soda cola] [16:12] Rora's Ac 15<19 Success! With a smash of flame the mare is hit by the bolt and gains the burned status. Catches the opponent on fire for 4 damage over 2 rounds! [16:12] Flora's turn. [16:14]  * Flora looks around for a alternative path instead of killing babies that others are so intent on murdering [16:17] [...] [16:17] == Umbra_Electrum [~Nova@2602:306:348d:d2d0:e883:1876:d676:1596] has joined #FourCannonPnP [16:18] Searching around you notice that there are some pieces of wood that have not been consumed by the flames of the creatures. There is also a small fire place with a soot covered grate collapsed on its side as well. [16:20] [grate like sewer grate?] [16:20] [/me has hard time picturing it] [16:21] [lets not be ungrateful now] [16:21] [Nah more like those grates you use to keep a fire place from spitting embers out at you while you enjoy the fire] [16:21] [Carlos remove your spirit from Tide damnit[ [16:21] [And stophaunting my player base1] [16:22] [ah!] [16:23] [dis be a slow combat sequence] [16:23]  * Flora has a brilliant idea! "here try to corral the little fire balls into the fire place and i'll put the grate infront so they can't get out" she barrel rolls to the grate picking it up if gm allows [16:25] "..What?" [16:25] Works for me since the room is relativly big enough for you to move past the last one in the room. Green Hoof your tunr. [16:25] [sorry for the wait] [16:26] "trap them in the fire place!" she hollars picking up the grate [16:28]  * GreenHoof lines up his crossbow's sights on one of the little buggers, opening his mouth to decline Flora's idea, but glancing over at her with the grate and the fireplace, he shrugs. Worth a try I guess... he runs over to Flora, shaking his luscious, long, soft black tail and firm, unburned rump at the fireballs. "Hey, come get some unburned green rump! Betcha can't give me a case of [16:28]  * GreenHoof the red-ass!" he taunts, darting over to the fireplace to try to lead them to it [16:28] [Do I roll or what?] [16:29] [Eh no actually hue ] [16:30] The fireball creature hisses at the green pair and rears back focused on dem swaying girly hips! Target locked on! Curi's turn! [16:30]  * Curious attempts to corral the fire demons [16:30]  * Flora heckels internally [16:31] For that I will require a roll Curious [16:31] After that is will be Tide 's turn. [16:32] [regular d20 or buffs?] [16:32] do a d20 with a plus 2 for helping a friend [16:32] !roll d20+2 FRIENDSHIP [16:32] (7) + 2 == 9 [16:34] You get burnt from getting to close to the orb as you stamp your hoovesises near it 2 points of damage. Tide go! [16:35]  * High_Tide sighs and lights his horn, electing not to burn himself as he tries to shove the ball of fire into the fireplace with TK. "Clear a hole!" [16:35] !roll d20+5 for ssssome sort of manuever in the TK skill [16:35] (12) + 5 == 17 [16:37] With a blaze of amber the orb is wrapped up in magical grip and is sent with the sound of a pingball into the fire place a trail of yellow flames behind it! Now quickly shove the grate into the fire place hurry! [16:38]  * Aurora does that with her round! [16:38]  * Flora helps since she was holding the grate [16:40] Like a pony pile of friendship and suffocating Love Rora and Flora do the jam in the slam dunking the grate against the fireplace as the fire ball bounces about in the fire place in an angry spitfire. After a few minutes of bucking and aid from their compatriots the critter seems to have dulled in it's attempts to escape. [16:40] Doodle doo Encounter Over! Congratulations! [16:40]  * Aurora wipes her forehead and sighs in exhasperation... wait and is also on fire! [16:40]  * Aurora rolls around yelping [16:42]  * High_Tide dims out his horn, inadvertendly darkening the room save for the fire rob's light. Rubbing his forehead, Tide slumps down to sit on his haunches, quiet. [16:42] Falling prone and rolling about Rora managed to snuff out the flames on her body though she is charred in a rather cartoony way. [16:43]  * Flora trots backwards from the orbs of light wiping some sweat from her face "woo" she turns to face the others after looking at the things "are you all alriht?" [16:44]  * GreenHoof snickers and goes over to Aurora, patting her over to make sure all the flames are out before offering her a hoof. "Y'alright there?" [16:44]  * Aurora whines, rubbing her body over "it came right at me!" [16:46] == Curious|mobile [~ZebraFone@2600:100e:b00b:8cd0:7a07:c4fe:dc34:a416] has joined #FourCannonPnP [16:46] What miss, last i saw was is slamming the thing into a grate ] [16:48]  * GreenHoof picks Aurora up to her hooves, giving her a pat on the shoulders. "There there, ya did good kid." He turns to smile at Flora. "That was some quick thinking, Flora. Good on ya." [16:48] [we got it in the grate, I was reminded I was on fire, thats pretty much it] [16:48] == Liven [~Liven@pool-108-11-46-51.atclnj.east.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 201 seconds] [16:48] [nothing much just seeing if everyone is ok] [16:49] == Liven [~Liven@pool-108-11-46-51.atclnj.east.verizon.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [16:50]  * Flora nods with a slight smile Hoof senpai finally noticing her "thanks would rather not have to kill something when i don't have to you know? Plus these being babies would have made it worse" [16:50]  * Curious|mobile brushes out her scalded hooves "yup, magical academy. Abandoned musical academy where everyone just left their old experiments" [16:51]  * High_Tide leans against one of the cots, still rubbing his head. "Baby? Flora, it was a magic orb of fire. It doesn't age." [16:52] "Could be offspring of a fire monster. Either way, saves us trouble looking it away" [16:53] == Liven [~Liven@pool-108-11-46-51.atclnj.east.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 201 seconds] [16:53] "no no did you get a good look at them?

[16:54]  * High_Tide hefts himself to sit in one of the beds, sighing. "That doesn't make it not a construct." [16:56]  * Flora looks quizically at him "I'm not sure what that is but Hoof's right let's keep going" [16:57]  * High_Tide sits in the bed for a moment, closing his eye. "Mmm. Be right behind you guys." [16:58]  * GreenHoof stops, turning back around and watching High Tide for a moment. "What, you tired or somethin?" [16:59]  * High_Tide waves a hoof dismissively. "Still in one piece."

[17:06] What do [17:07] [When would be the next day you could, Flora?] [17:07]  * High_Tide opens his eye and sighs through his nose, getting out of the cot. "Mmm." [17:07] [tuesday morning provided im not dragged away for stuff] [17:08]  * GreenHoof darts over to the shimmering remains of the first creature and inspects, picking it up [17:08] [oh and somthing died in the room?] [17:09] Picking up the dust like remains they still retain some heat as if just recently cooled and colored a orange powdery color that glimmers subtly. [17:09] [Tuesday morn is nogo for me] [17:10]  * GreenHoof squints his eyes, looking at the warm remains and turning them over in his hooves. "Hm..." [17:10] [When is the soonest *after* Tuesday then, Flora?] [17:10] They feel warm to the touch and trickle down like grains of sand in your hooves. [17:12] [im not sure were supposed to start 2 a days and we finally get pads so im not missing a chance to slap the shit out of carl] [17:12]  * Curious|mobile puts an ear to the doors, listening to the other side [17:13] Which door the one on the west side or the south side? [17:13]  * Flora watches as Hoof plays with sand [was that from the fire orb/] [17:13] yes [17:13]  * GreenHoof offers the remains to anyone else who'd rather play with them. [17:14] Both in succession, west first [17:14]  * High_Tide glances at Hoof tiredly, raising a brow. "What'cha got there?" [17:15] Nothng of note can be heard from the western, the southern one however gives off queit bangs that sound simliar to the fire orb room that you had heard before in the other room. [17:16]  * GreenHoof goes over to Tide and puts the remains of the fireorb in his hoof. "A dead thing. Unicorns probably have more use for it than lowly earth ponies..." he says before turning around and going back to inspecting the room, ears flickering when he hears the noise from the south door. "Shit boys, looks like we got more fire-things waitin' on us." He turns around, giving the group a [17:16]  * GreenHoof look. "Suggestions?" [17:16] "Look in the western first. U can't hear anything from it" [17:16] I* [17:17] "odyssey to the west" she announces [17:17]  * High_Tide looks at his hoof blankly, and then shrugs, producing a small glass vial to store the fire dust inside of before putting it away. [17:20]  * Aurora shrugs "west is close to left, and left always left" [17:20]  * Flora stacks on the side of the door ready to open it "Ready?" [17:20]  * High_Tide hefts Duke and tries to look more alert, nodding. "Ready." [17:22]  * Curious|mobile takes a look at the shimmering thing inside the corpse "be right there" [17:24]  * High_Tide glances at Curi and fishes through his coat, producing another to hand over to Curi. "D'you want to take a sample, too?" [17:26]  * Curious|mobile takes a closer look "Might as well, if you have more of those things. There's something inside here though..." unless the shimmering was just the corpse being glittery she s not sure [17:28]  * Flora is amped t go through this door! [17:28] Entering the western door then? [17:29]  * Aurora goes with the party through the west dooah [17:29] [Was the corpse adding or was there something inside, rain?] [17:29]  * High_Tide gives Curious a glass vial for the dust and follows after Flora. [17:29] Glittering* [17:30]  * Flora is so ready she's about to start foaming at the mouth like horses do when they are excited lets fucking go [17:30]  * GreenHoof goes and shit [17:30] [Go ahead guys im just waiting for clarity] [17:31]  * Flora isn' oing to but you get the message [17:32] A long hallway stretches out from the door for a bit before coming to another entrance way with no door upon it. Inside the room you all see a curious sight. Looking to the south is a window that looks over the room with flames inside below the window is a odd panel filled with levers and knobs and stone plates like a control panel, however what catches the eyee is the fact that a [17:32] large stone from the ceiling had fallen down onto a lever that had snapped downwards on the wall. There is also the fact that most of the runes that are carved into the stone plates are steaming alarmingly. [17:33]  * GreenHoof walks up to the control panel, rubbing his chin and sitting on his haunches. "Well shit." [17:34] [brb real quick [17:35]  * Aurora looks around this new room "oh... oh shit!" [17:36] [Are the corpses interesting or can i go with the group, rain? Im under the impression there's something inside it] [17:36] [the dust was the interesting bit sorry i didnt clarfy that hue] [17:36] "wow" she paws at the ground "well I don't even know where to start" she looks at all the flinstones technology and looks at the downward lever "maybe this is a good starting point" she points [17:37] "Obviously the best idea is to start pushing buttons and pulling levers, right?" [17:37]  * Curious|mobile vials up and heads with the others "thanks tide, might be combustib---oh what's all this" [17:41] "i think we should split up" she snickers [17:43] "Pffft, my ass we're splitting up." [17:44]  * High_Tide pulls out his notebook and starts scratching out notes, looking over the mechanism with an impressed look. "I bet the aliums made d'is." [17:44] "well i dont see any obvioulse way across so i'm going to pull this lever that should be up, watch as i magically deactivate the fire wall~' [17:45]  * GreenHoof snickers at Tide [17:47]  * Flora pushes up le lever~ [17:49] With a clank the lever is slowly pushed up and a lot of things happen. First the steam from the control panel slows and cools as the carved on runes are burnt away leaving them flat. The observation window reveals that the fire has died inside and the slowy rotating stone circle has settled into the ground and the purple barrier has disappears from sight from where the ponies can see. [17:49]  * GreenHoof blinks, eyes widening. "Oh shit, was this the barrier from the other room?" [17:49]  * Aurora blinks "what did you dooooooo" [17:50] "She made it work! She's one of the aliums!" [17:51] "beep boop beep beep" [17:51]  * GreenHoof nudges Tide, putting on a thick, inbred redneck accent. "Mehby we should SHEWT IT WITH OUWR GUNZ!" [17:51]  * Flora does the robotbeing a cyborg all along [17:56]  * High_Tide gives Rora a nudge. "Actually, guys, be on the lookout for armguards or something. We found a set of blue robes in the last tomb we were at, but I can't wear them with my chain shirt." Tide shifts his frock coat and tugs at the chain armour underneath, not feeling much like a wizard right now. [17:56] "Er- leg-guards, technically, I guess. Whatever." [17:57]  * Aurora squeaks "we should head back to that other room and check it out.." [17:59] "Plenty of rooms, plenty of time." [17:59]  * GreenHoof nods to Aurora, resisting the urge to squeeze her lil cheeks at her cute squeak. "Sounds like a good idea. Remember, first priority is watchin' each other's backs and makin' sure we're safe. Second priority is making sure the town is safe from that... snake-pony thing." [18:00]  * Aurora scruffs the ground "I wonder if the fire snake thing is like some... fire... engine... thing..." [18:01] "Speaking of! Should we go and check the room with that ball of fire, or look in the other rooms first, guys?" [18:01] [B r b ] [18:02] "I would rather the other rooms, if those things got out i would rather run out the door quickly" [18:03] "So... we look through the extra rooms first then?" [18:03]  * GreenHoof gets an idea and looks to High Tide, since he's their only unicorn. "Hey... have you ever heard of the 'Drown Compound' spell? That event happened around the time before you ran off to Manehatten." [18:04] Also you may notice something odd about the room, could roll to Per to see if there is anything to see if there is anything of note to it. [18:05] !roll d20 [18:05] 20 == 20 [18:05] [This would be my 4th nat 20 perception to date [18:05] [jesus fuck] [18:05] !roll d20 [18:05] 9 == 9 [18:05] Hey wow look at that you notice that some of the bricks on the west wall look weird almost fake like a button... [18:05]  * GreenHoof is distracted by High Tide and Aurora's luscious, firm haunches [18:06]  * High_Tide nods, looking around the room. "I'm aware of it, but I can't cast it. I have been looking into water magic and the sort, but nothing conclusive yet. If you want me to douse the fireball, I need a big source of water...." Tide trails off, walking towards one of the walls and placing his hoof against it, humming. [18:06] == Snow_Blind has changed nick to Vidya_Blind [18:06]  !roll d20 roll~ [18:06] 17 == 17 [18:07] Click [18:08] The walls crumble away in a magical display almost harry potter esque as they open up to a hallway where a large amount of book shelves can be found. [18:09]  * High_Tide 's eye shines bright and he wanders into the room, letting out a small "Ooh.." as he leans Duke against the wall and peruses the shelves. [18:09]  * High_Tide is even accompanied by a tiny victory jingle [18:09] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vll3os4O7Mk [18:10] Amongst the shelves you spot a variety of titles most written in High or even Arcane! A few books you can piece together a mis mash of what looks like books that detail spells involving flames! Well at least a lot of the books involve fire magic that much you are sure of! [18:10]  * GreenHoof nods to Tide, is answer kicking his idea in the balls, so he just shuts his mouth and watches, keeping a hoof on his crossbow [18:11] "ooh ahhh" she gazes up at the books looking to see if she can find one she would like [18:12]  * High_Tide makes a small sound of joy as he sorts through the books, arranging them in piles, dumping out the two burnt books he took and rubbing his cheek against these new ones. "Guys~, I think some of these are magic books~" [18:13] "Anything about flight?~" [18:13] [brb] [18:13] [urge to squash Hoof's dreams intensifies] [18:14]  * Aurora looks at the arcane books "neaaaaaaat!" [18:15] [back. Pizza got here :3] [18:15]  * GreenHoof smiles after saying that, but suddenly his face becomes more serious. The stallion nonchalanty canter of to High Tide's side, quietly whispering something into his ear. "If you see anything that might pertain to eternal youth or immortality, like what the Sisters have, please take it." He says before starting to rifle through the books himself, searching for anything with [18:15]  * GreenHoof a title or summary that might pertain to his request. [18:15]  * Flora looks for dem nature books they have to have some here she whines internally [18:15] [fun well im gonna be cooking a lil bit so take your time rping if you want] [18:17] [i'm going to go eat] [18:17] == Dreamcatcher [~Dreamcatc@cpe-108-184-72-104.socal.res.rr.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds] [18:17]  * High_Tide pulls out what looks to be the most spellbookinest book of the bunch, flipping through it with his piecemeal knowlege of arcane and high before stashing it in his pack. "Erm, heh, sure thing Hoof." Tide offers him a smile before taking a moment to look through the other books. [18:18]  * Curious|mobile takes non arcane fire books" hey anything in then about those fire monster?" [18:18] "Hard to say, I mean, I can't properly read High Equestrian.." [18:21] "More high equestrian? Ugh...we need to get that already. Look for puctures." And quick recap? Phone wontt show all the way [18:24] [This the other room btw? ] [18:25] [in the room with the control panel, tide found a secret door to a library [18:26] [Kk] [18:26]  * Flora looks around pocketing some books she can't even read but assumes their good "hey might as well take knowledge is power" [18:28] "Lots of fire stuff...Damn these mysterious absorbed places with increasingly interesting stories...." [18:28] "if only i knew more then basic I would be set' [18:29]  * Aurora looks around the Library for hidden artifacts [18:29]  * GreenHoof nods and starts sizing up how they would start packing up the books. "Yeah, you're right about that. As long as the vault don't take em all and lock 'em away before anyone can soak up the information out of 'em. Maybe we should take as many as we can...?" he looks to High Tide for his input [18:31]  * High_Tide nods in confirmation to Hoof. "I'm technically a vault technician so I'm obliged to bring a couple back there for Able to read, but to be honest, I'm taking the good books I find for the tower~" [18:32]  * Aurora scrunchies "or, we can just take all the books back to the Pathfinders headquarters... you know, the good idea?" [18:32] "Well why not?  The school wont need them" [18:32] == Liven [~Liven@pool-108-11-47-17.atclnj.east.verizon.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] [18:32] == Liven [~Liven@pool-108-11-47-17.atclnj.east.verizon.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [18:32] "what the hell is a pathfinder?" she rifles through more books taking the pretty one [18:33]  * GreenHoof snickers to High Tide. "I like the way you think." He whispers to his big unicorn friend before he sits on his haunches and clops his hooves together. "Alright! So we'll pack 'em up as much as we can to bring 'em back. We can squabble over where they go later." He stands up and starts looking around the library. "What next? We gonna check out the rest of this place or cash out [18:33]  * GreenHoof while we're ahead?" [18:34] "I would rather keep going myself I still want to see the fire snake to study it' [18:34] "I haven't visited the gheist sisters in a while" [18:34] Browsing through the shelves Rora finds a book open to a specific passage and a strange scrolls written up on the table, it appears to show  a breif doodle of a earth pony punching out wards and sending a plume of something out from its hoof. The scroll itself is written in Arcane. Aside from that nothing of else of note can be found. [18:34]  * High_Tide raises brow at Rora. "How is that the best option? Pathfinders aren't the only ones interested in this stuff." Tide nods to Hoof and sets a pile by the entrance of the secret room, making sure that the arcane book he placed in his pack was secure. [18:36] Due to weight constrictions and how heavy the fuggin things are you can carry three books safely at least. [18:36] [Rain Drop, are there any books immedaitely apparent to have anything to do with aging or immortality?] [18:37] [or nature] [18:38] Eh no [18:39]  * Aurora packs said book away "well don't be silly Tide, put them at the pathfinder's lodge so everyone can just go look through them when the need! its not like we have a library in town we can put them in, and I definitely don't see the need to hide them away in some vault [18:39] Look at the clues, why in the hells would it have anything to do with immortals or aging?! Though there might be a tome in regrads to leylines but its just the one. [18:39] [:c[ [18:39]  * Aurora looks for a book about leylines! maybe it will tell her something about her gauge thingy! [18:40]  * Curious|mobile looks for non arcane pyrotechnics [18:40] Its found easily enough though its written in high. Also the books are mostly all written in High, maybe if you went and studied it all you might learn things~ [18:41] == Cobweb [webchat@modemcable075.209-22-96.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #FourCannonPnP [18:41]  * Flora looks about sadly not seeing anything to her fancy before sliding the books into the pile so they can burn them "You mean you don't know we had a library?" she looks for fighting books maybe sincce they did pass a gym [im just fishing here] [18:41] "Uh.. what? Have you even ever been to the vault? They're not hiding anything, it's just the place where all the ponies wanting to do research and development go." [18:42]  * Aurora keeps running into things that need her to read high! "really? nobody has ever brought it up before... why is it called the vault instead of like, a lab?" [18:43]  * GreenHoof rolls his eyes and goes to the edge of the room and keeps an eye out the door and looks around to make sure they're alone, having no interest in partaking in the arguing. [18:44] {nope no fighting books it appears] [18:44] "It's because it used to actually be a vault belonging to diamond dogs. In the first week or so, I went with some people and initially discovered it. I just wish I knew what happened to that crown we found." [18:44]  * GreenHoof calls back to the others. "This shit can wait till we're in a safe place, y'all. Let's all be adults here." [18:45] [/me reminds everyone that this' been stretching along today for about 5 hours] [18:46] "I'm just asking!" [18:46] [I gotta run for like 15 minutes before the DFAC closes :<] [18:46] [brb!] [18:47] [kkk] [18:47]  * High_Tide rolls his eye and follos after Hoof. "Just a simple conversatipon, man." [18:47]  * Flora wonders why you wouldn't give it to the library you chuckle heads [18:47] [and no nature books?] [18:49]  * High_Tide would explain had that question been asked. [18:49] == Cury-Cookan [~pallmall@190.121.84.200] has joined #FourCannonPnP [18:51] [oh hey are you guys like, doing the quest?] [18:51] [yea] [18:52] [well can someone bring me up to speed?] [18:52] [dibs not it] [18:52] "i wonder why you wouldn't give it to the library instead" she walks and talks into the next xcene[ [18:52] [we walked in saw some flame stuff, trapped a few baby flame snakes, turned off the fire in a control room and r in library] [18:53] "Well, Flora, most of the books will find their way eventually, but places like the vault and pathfinders need them first. If there is any useful information that can be gleamed from the books, those two places will need them first." [18:53] [Oh neat. so we have baby snakes now? well lemme pop in then] [18:54] [No we readied em. They attacked us] [18:54] == Cury-Cookan has changed nick to Curiosity [18:54]  * Cobweb was totally there all this time as he looks around the library for books that he can read [18:54] [oh...well aight] [18:54]  * GreenHoof scratches his head and looks back at the others. "Alright so... where to next?" [18:55] "it's funny still no one has explained to me what a pathfinder even is, and if the vault wanted the books so bad they could just sign them out of the library, it's not like anyone even goes in their anyways" [18:55]  * Flora waits for the scene [18:56]  * Cobweb looks at flora, being a pathfinder himself "Its a group of people that go out exploring and take care of problems, sort of like a guild really." [18:57] "If you want i can go into more details when we get back to town" [18:57] "Why would the Vault sign them out at the library? That just adds unecessary hoops to jump through when they could just study the books down there at easy access, and turn them into the library when they're done." [18:57]  * GreenHoof snickers, smirking to Cobweb. "Oh, you mean like what people have done since before the pathfinders?" He jokes before adopting a more serious expression and waiting for the next scene [19:00] "Its a bit more organised than just town people going out whenever they want. And its sort of a mercenary thing if you want to put it that way but again, well talk about this later. Where do we go next?" [19:00]  * Flora sees the reasoning but it's not like it's that big a deal "I'm just saying I think the library is a better choice" she shrugs "but hey not like half the town can even read it anyways" she snickers at Hoof the point of pathfinders being redundant [19:02] == Curiosity has changed nick to Cury-Busy [19:02] "Are there any high equestrian books i wonder" [19:02] [I think Rain's busy with cooking and family so we gotta keep that in mind right now] [19:03] [Guess this is just banter time] [19:03] [well no you ugys havent done anything yet as far as I know yet] [19:03] [back] [19:03] [weve been walking down the hall] [19:03] [have we?] [19:04] [So back the way you came in that case how far and where to?] [19:07]  * Curious|mobile nicks all the explosive books and any she can determine is relevant to non hornheads, while she waits for the discussing [19:07] [i thought we were to get to a new room, is that the end of the line?] [19:08] [I don't see where we left the library room] [19:09] "Where to next, y'all?" [19:09]  * Cobweb looks around for a place where they haven't been to yet [19:10] "There were a couple doors we neglected to check." [19:13]  * Flora goes to the neglected dorrs and stuff to continue plot [19:13] "Well we should go check those out then. Lets get going guys." He walks over to said door and waits for everyone [19:16]  * GreenHoof follows [19:16] "Mhmm. Say, Cob-" Tide hefts Duke and hurries after the others, giving batbutt a poke. "Be on the lookout for any legguards or stuff like that. I have some robes I'd rather wear than his chainshirt, but it doesn't sit well with armour. I'd be happy to trade." Offering a smile, Tide shifts his frock coat to reveal the chainmail worn underneath. [19:19] "Oh well i'll be on the lookout then. Any preference really? Like metal legguards?" [19:20]  * High_Tide shrugs. "Well, I'll take as much as I can get if we find anything here. In idea happy la-la land, I'd find a bunch and just choose from them later, but I haven't a clue what we'll find here." [19:21] [Where are we going next?] [19:21]  * Flora could have sworn we passed leg guards a log time ago in the training room [19:21] [basically waiting on rain now...] [19:22] [well accordin to mymap of stuffs your heading back to the barracks like room with the other door. ] [19:23] Sorry sorry! Ahem so you return back to the barracks room where a large variety of broken footlockers and bunk beds lay some burnt others just smahed and gnawed on. Entering the room you see a door to your right and one on the east wall. The orbs that remain from your fight half heartedly bang against the fire place grate. [19:25] What do my little ponies? [19:25] [did we ever go to the door that had the thumpng behind it or is this it/] [19:26] [The door which thumped is the one to your right though it is now silent.] [19:26] [sorry on phone semi-here] [19:26]  * Flora would rather go thruogh that one but up to you guys [19:26] "Any preferences, guys?"" [19:26]  * Cobweb looks in the broken footlockers to make sure we didn't miss anything before looking back to the group "So which door do we go too?" [19:27]  * GreenHoof shakes his head. "It's up to y'all, don't matter to me," he says, giving a smart-ass smirk, "I'm just happy to be here~" [19:27] "maybe the door that had the thumping behind it?" [19:28] "Which door wast hat?" [19:28] Investigating the insides of the footlocker reveals nothingmuch aside from a trinket that looks like an armband of oranmental use. [19:30]  * Cobweb takes the armband and shrugs, putting it in his bag and looks at the two doors "What about the one to the right?" [19:30] [i think it was past this room to be honest] [19:30]  * Aurora shrugs "did anyone check the swirfly fiery room yet?" [19:30] [im not sure] [19:30] [why are you talking ooc?] [19:30] "Not yet, no." [19:31] [since i dont know] [19:31] "Well we might as well check that one than." [19:32] Taking the door to the right then? [19:32] "LEad the way, then." [19:33]  * Cobweb nods as he heads for the door to the right checking it before opening it [19:33] "check the door that made noise earlier first, then the boss room... uhm... I mean, the swirling fire room" [19:36] Upon opening the door to the right you find a hallway leading to the left a bit as it slowly slants towards a door with a large iron knocker on it. Do you open the door Y/N? [19:37] [i have to go for a bit il bbe be back] [19:38]  * Cobweb opens the door and peeks inside, trying to possibly not be seen if anything is inside [19:39]  * GreenHoof stands at the ready with his crossbow. [19:40]  * Aurora sure, opens the door, why not [19:44] [we're 6 hours in...] [19:45] ack Im sorry we're almost done !

The whirling gyroscope is gone laying down on the floor. Nothing seems to have changed aside from the room looking rather cool and dark considering waht used to be here. [19:46] == Cobweb [webchat@modemcable075.209-22-96.mc.videotron.ca] has quit [Ping timeout: 190 seconds] [19:47]  * Cobweb_ walks inside and looks around for anything that could catch his eye [19:49]  * High_Tide walks in with Cob, making sure his horn is re-light.

[called shot to the vitals] [20:01] [It has vitals?} [20:02] If you count the orb in its chest then yeah [20:02] In any case make the shot a -3 to hit [20:02] [well Rain, actually...] [20:02] [Eh?] [20:02]  * Aurora sticks her tongue out and kershot [20:03] !roll 1d20+1 pew [20:03] (16) + 1 == 17 [20:03] [Ah thank you for the heads up!] [20:04] Right the bolt heads out from the bow and manages to hit the core of the snake! Roll damage with the piercing damage [20:05] !roll 1d10+2 pew! [20:05] (6) + 2 == 8 [20:06] With a groan the snake looks down at the bolt in its core the leaks a ruby read fluid that soon crystalizes in the heat and the bolt is incinarated! Cob's Turn! [20:07] [Is this the snake-pony from before?] [20:08] [yes] [20:08] [right?] [20:08]  * Cobweb_ takes off and tries to make a small controled cloud of fog around the snake [20:08] [yes] [20:08] Rollfor it cobby [20:08] [whats with you and fooooog?] [20:08] !roll 1d20+2 fog [20:08] (16) + 2 == 18 [20:09] [cause i like fog :3 also, fog weakens any potential fireballs] [20:09] Drawing from the relativly damp air from the room behind you you draw out a weak mist that doesn't work as well as you had hoped as the room is still seeable just blurry and the snake steams slightly in the mists. -1 for aimed shots.

[21:15] A small dink of magic bolts into the snake making it wonder if there was a fire fly around. Flora's turn if she is wanting to fight if not then its Cobs. [21:16]  * Flora is ready to get this thing over with, it's already hurt her friends, and it's a menace to town so if it follows it's bad news. she half-heartedly throws her knife it its core [21:16] [whats the modifier] [21:16] minus five all together [21:17] iF you have any bonuses to throwing a knife now be the time to mention it [21:17] !roll 1d20+5 hue i don't [21:17] (1) + 5 == 6 [21:17] [opps and hue] [21:17]  * Cobweb_ is still in cover as he waits for the others to finish [21:18] YOu know your philospopically muse, that grabbing a knife to throw by the blade looks really cool in the movies, trying it in real life however, is not that great. -1 Shame damage [21:18] Hissy's turn!

The bolt flies true and almost as if it where a movie shot the bolt flies out in slow motion heading towards the rampaging creature and with a sickening crack pierces the core of the animal leaving a tiny hole for all to see in. The snake looking down in shock seems stunned for a moment not realizing it's over [21:28] before the flames slowly fade out and the creature's face fades into the peace known only to the dead. The flames disappear and teh orb simply falls to the ground with a loud thud that echoes in the chamber around the ponies. [21:29] Dunda dadaaaa~ You have beaten the Fire Snake Pony! The town and it's lumber will be saved! Not to mention all those cute little woodland creatures that will give thanks to you for saving them from the fire! [21:30]  * GreenHoof reloads his crossbow, still holding it aimed at the creatures as he walks up to it. He stares at the dead form on the ground for a few moments, waiting to make sure it's not moving, before prodding it twice with his hoof, making sure it's dead. [21:30] creature* [21:30]  * High_Tide sets Duke on the ground slowly and lets out a small sigh of relief, falling to his haunches. "...Great shot, kid. One in a million." [21:31] The small orb no bigger than a crystal ball really rolls in the ashes of the creature's remains before coming to a stop. [21:31]  * GreenHoof looks back at High Tide, smirking. "Thanks Han." He says looking back down and hearing something rolling. He picks it up with a hoof, inspecting it. "Huh..." [21:31]  * Cobweb_ smiles as he sees the beast finally fall "Woo! Well we finally made it! Good job guys!" [21:31]  * Flora is tending to wounded "nice shot now come over here so i can look your wounds over" she waves [21:32]  * GreenHoof waves a hoof dismissively to Flora, sitting on his haunches and turning the crystal ball over and over in his hooves, inspecting it. "I'm fiiine. I'd rather get somewhere safe before we're sittin' ducks anyhow." [21:32] the coal shaped looking thing being all that remains, further inspection of the core reveals that there are lines crisscrossing all over the core and throbs like a heart. One thing to notice is that the core has a strange rune upon that is like a upper case U combines with a lowercase g that is done with a harsh line.* [21:32] |           | [21:32] |  ___  | [21:32] \/     \/ [21:32]  \ __/| [21:32]           | [21:33] [i csn't] [21:34] [Is that on the crystal ball?] [21:34] [or is the core in the dead thing still?] [21:35]  * Flora stands up giving those hurt a look over if they consent [21:35] [No its the size of a crystal ball hoof] [21:36] [and its the core of the dead thing [21:36] "Uh...maybe someone in town could have a look at that thing. But we finally took care of that thing and the town is safe for now...God that hurts..." He looks over his injuries as he sighs [21:37]  * Aurora lets out a sigh of relief "its ogre..." [21:38] A breif whiff of onions is smelled on the wind before nothing else of note occurs. So my little ponies what shall we do next head stright for home then? [21:38] "did we check the whole place out? before we head home?" [21:38]  * High_Tide gets ups slowly, stretching his back. "Now that that's taken care of, we still have a room or two left to explore here!" [21:38]  * Flora sees heals and stuff yea you get it and goes to look at the orb studying it "to the vault it goes I suppose" [21:39]  * GreenHoof holds the orb up to whatever light is present, looking through it, the green stallion seemingly very fascinated with the damn thing. [21:39]  * Cobweb_ nods to the others "I-i think i'm just...going to wait for you guys at the exit...I need to keep my energy for the road ahead really..." [21:40]  * Flora can't leave Cob alone she's the most hurt and will escort [21:40] Well to faciliate the time and the fact that we've been at this for 8 fuggin hours we can just go ahead and do a quick search that takes up time if you want? Or I can just say you went back to the rooms which need investigation? [21:40]  * High_Tide looks to Cob, giving him a smile. "We'll be quick, alright? Come on, guys." Tide hefts Duke up with a tired grunt, and heads out to go check the rooms they hadn't went in yet. [21:41] [Whichever you prefer Rain] [21:41] [which rooms still need investigation?] [21:41] 2 rooms left [21:41] [you know what we missed, not us] [21:41]  * Aurora looks for the passages that they haven't explored fully yet [21:42] [You could just tell us what we found] [21:43] [and we could skip the whole thing, hue] [21:43] == Cury-Busy has changed nick to Curiosity [21:43] [dont 5get the books] [21:44]  * GreenHoof tucks the crystal ball into his saddlebag, not hellbent on keeping it or anything but deciding to put off deciding what's done with it until they were on their way back [21:44]  * Curious is un npc [21:45] [/me kills hoof for it murderhobo senses activating and in full looter mode] [21:45]  * Flora is secretly Mariel [21:47] Ahem fast forwarding some things mainly walking and what not you soon come across two other rooms. First is an old amory looking place filled with chests that are now empty and seems to be emptied out long ago if the cobwebs are any judge. However searching about behind an old weapon stand you find two saber's that are merely requiring some polish and a visit to the grinder to be of [21:47] use. Things to note however is the fact that one holds a pommel where some strange arcane hole shaped in a hexagon could fit. The other has no holes in it but inscribed in basic is written "Let our Princess guide our strikes in Her name, Sol Invictus!" The other room is a storage room emptied out aside from a few camping essentials; a tent for 2, a water collecter device that wieghs a [21:47] fair amount, a tarp, some rope, a grappling hook, a strange lantern that holds a yellow gem and a slider on the bottom and a small square of metal that looks like, no it couldn't be, it looks like a old fashion lighter the large ones that can hold an open flame after being ignited. On the front is inscribed 'Siemper Fie' with a fist of holding a sword in it. [21:47]  * Curious is depressed she doesnt know what to loot, missing so much shit ugh... [21:48] [Siemper Fie] [21:48] [pfffff\ [21:48]  * Aurora takes the saber with the arcane hole to add to her collection! [21:49]  * High_Tide snatches up the llighter and puffs out his chest. "Hoof, I think you deserve this~" He says with a chuckle, tossing it to him. [21:50]  * Cobweb_ would like to take that lamp but isn't here, since he's at the entrance [21:50]  * GreenHoof catches the lighter, his face brighting a bit with a smile as he inspects it. "Aw fuck yeah, this is way better than just flint and steel, heh." He goes over and nudges Tide, nuzzling against his big friend's side a bit. "Thanks, Cap'n!" [21:50]  * Curious takes that lighter-- [21:50] "aw nooooooo" [21:50]  * High_Tide was actually interested in the lamp, and takes it. Mayhaps Cob would like to barter for it when they come outside. Tide also takes the grappling hook, figuring he might need it one day. [21:51] "Hey, you earned it, man. I guess it really does pay to have a weapon like a crossbow with you." [21:51]  * Curious takes second saber cuz fuckit everyones lootwhoring it seems [21:52]  * Curious also grabs tarp and hook since they seem open [21:53]  * Cobweb_ just wants something to bring back really [21:53]  * High_Tide thinks Curi should refer to his above statement [21:53] [ah damn] [21:53] Oh shit forgot crucial things, sorry Sabers when repaired deal d8+2 damage only when slashing attempting to pierce with inflict a -2 instead as they aren't designed like that fuggers. Also Rora investigating the pommel doesn't really show much to is aside from a hexagonal looking hole that looks weird to you. [21:53] [fug] [21:53] [you just had to get hurt didn't you Cob] [21:54] [>d8+2] [21:54] [Holy fuck] [21:54]  * Aurora looks around for a hexagonal shaped thing to insert into it! [21:54] [oh awesome] [21:54]  * Flora wanted some of that stuff ;-;] [21:54] (;_; ) [21:54] [we can roll for the kitsch stuff later, sinc eneither got anything. but i aint putting that sword up] [21:54] [what thats how swords work aint it?] [21:55]  * High_Tide wanders outside to where Flora and Cobb are with the new lantern in one hoof, looking it over. "I wonder if the lamp oil I found works with it..] [21:55] [Not really, Rain.] [21:55]  * Cobweb_ looks into his bad and checks his armband that he found, putting them on and checking how it looks while he waits [21:55] [oh well..d6 then?] [21:55]  * High_Tide holds the lamp up for the others to see. "What d'you think?" [21:56] [Hey, you added the loot, it's not up to me] [21:56] 'what's that CobWeb? [21:56] [keep it how you want rain] [21:56] With a startled oath Cob notices a green translecent square appear on the foreleg that has the armband. [21:56] [/me will take Rain's word on it] [21:56] [as will I] [21:57] "Oh just an armband i found in one of those footlockers from before. I...Oh Woooahh! Whats that?!" He looks at the green square, wondering what it is [21:57]  * High_Tide sets the lantern down, peering at Cob's leg. "Hey, that's pretty nifty!" [21:57] "dafuk?" she scoots away from her [21:57]  * GreenHoof is totally here and paying attention and not enthralled with his new lighter [21:58]  * Cobweb_ flails his hoof around, trying to see if it does anything other than looking cool [21:58] Cool at this point you guys are free to go and stuffs I gotta do something [21:58]  * Flora ducks not getting her head chopped ff [21:59] [it's a 3 day hike back to town to[ [21:59] [Thanks for the adventure Rain! it was fun!] [21:59] [so when did we leave for this? we will be gone for 6 days IC] [21:59]  * High_Tide 'Ooohs' as he watches, chuckling. "Damn, man. Wish I was the one to find that. If you want to open a trade lemme know, y'hear?" [21:59]  * Cobweb_ hits his hoof on the floor seeing if it does anything "What in the world is that? I-i'm guessing its from the armband but what does it do?" [22:00] [alright quick recap of what I missed?] [22:00] [we kilt it gud, let the bb live so it could grow up and repeat the cycle of hatred] [22:00] [i would have been gone for 10 days with curious] [22:00] [thanks for adventure Rain] [22:00] [but it can't grow up rora] [22:00] [wait, who took the core of the snake?] [22:00] [Thanks tho, Rain!] [22:00] [Lets say whenever you all iced last cuz i dunno if you want to be gone for the next 9-10 days or something] [22:01] [/me wants to try putting it in her sword] [22:01] [thing was a living being man] [22:01] [No, no it wasn't Flora] [22:01] [I haven't IC'd for a few days] [22:01] [didn't you say like that we would be back on the 4th?] [22:01] [[i totally was :p] [22:01] [it was to me ic atealst [22:01] == Vidya_Blind has changed nick to Snow_Blind [22:01] [that doesn't actually make it a living thing tho'] [22:02] [Eh how bout this, you all left and ick you know what lets say you got back on the 9th or something that work?] [22:02] So um hints and tips on how to do better next time? [22:02] Also thanks for coming on my adventure guys! [22:02] [hey no prob rain! It was pretty neat [22:02] [it was fun rain] [22:03] [we just need better scheduling] [22:03] it was fun, though it was loooong [22:04] [So we get back August 9th?] [22:04] Oh shit one last thing Cob messing withthe armband a bit you hit the square shaped green thing against the floor and it flickers a little bit but it remains rather solid touching the ground. Rapping your hoof on the thing makes it spark up a bit and you ge tthe impression its some type of sheild. [22:04] [desert fun hooray] [22:04] [yeah] [22:04] so we left today IC then, kay [22:04] left to day back town [22:05]  * Cobweb_ is still totally looking at that sweet armband, trying things out like hitting the floor. He looks at it and smiles "Ooooohh!" He tries to hit it with a stone or something [22:05] "I think it's a shield, bud'!" [22:06] "Yea i think so too! Thats so awesome! I'm going to have some fun with this" [22:06] ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Been to the Desert on a Horse with no Name: Successfully complete an adventure in the desert region southwest of Four Cannon [22:07]  * Flora moves away from cob weeb "so what else did you find in their since you guys got all that cool stuff?] [22:07] The sheild flickers a bit but holds against the rock being hit. [22:07] Maybe you should try having someone hit the sheild with something :3 [22:08] "Lu~cky~. Looks like this'll be Duke's last adventure, though. Guess that makes you our party's new meatshield, hey?" Tide snickers, giving his beaten-up tower shield a pat. [22:08] [what happened with your shield?] [22:08] I buuurnt it~ [22:08] [i put my dick in it] [22:08]  * High_Tide slowly frowns as he looks over his tower shield. It actually just might be the last time he can reliably field it after half a year of adventuring. [22:09] "Hey hey tide! Try hitting that shield with a dagger or something!" He readies his small[?] shield in from of tide [22:09] [To be fair, I think the time Tide held back an owlbear put more strain on Duke than this" [22:09]  * GreenHoof sits on his haunches, holding his new lighter in one hoof and pulling out a cigarette with another. Sticking the cancer-stick in his mouth, he lights it up with the antique-looking device, taking a puff and looking to Tide with a frown. "Aww, Duke's last adventure? Feels like only yesterday you introduced me to him." [22:10]  * High_Tide glances to Cob and slowly grins, pulling the dagger out from the strap on Duke. "Alright, brace yourself, okay?" Holding the knife, Tide jabs towards Cob. [22:10]  * Aurora sighs"why not give him an upgrade?" [22:10]  * Flora hides behind a rock no stray knife in her butt nope [22:11] "hey hoof, lemme see that lighter, wanna know how it works. flint and steel rods are annoying" [22:11]  * Cobweb_ tries to block tides attack with his green lantern shield :S [22:11] :3 [22:12]  * GreenHoof nods and hands the lighter over to Curious, watching her as he smokes his cigarette. "Sure thing." [22:12]  * Curious flips it open waiting for an apt description on the inner mechanism, shaking it lightly for sounds of precious oil [22:13] "so did you see anything else inside of their?" [22:13] Alrightythen after the quick jab from Tide the sheild holds again after a bit but turns a dull throbbing red colartion in turn. [22:14] the Lighter however looks like a large zippe with a small round bit where flint ignites sparks on the wick. [22:15] [Hue we should really give rain a break now she's been GMing for almost 9 hours] [22:15]  * Cobweb_ looks at the shield turning red "Uh...Maybe it can only take so much damage...Kind of like those energy shields from halo" [22:15]  * High_Tide chuckles at the effects of the shield, wiping his brow. "Well I'll be damned. Like some shit right outta Halo." [22:15] "huh, now that seems like a great design..." she hands it back [22:16] "Well then, I guess it's only fitting Duke be put away for the last time. I dub this new shield... Ace!" Tide exclaims with a sudden burst of energy, the stallion giving Cob a surprise headbutt to his shield, just for funsies. [22:16]  * GreenHoof watches Cobweb and High Tide test the sheild as he puffs on his cigarette, the relaxing effects of the California poppy starting to take effect. He nods to Curious as she hands it back, giving the lighter another look before tucking it away in his saddlebags. "Maybe we can use that design for lighters in Four Cannon. Like you said, better than flint and steel." [22:17]  * GreenHoof tilts his head at High Tide. "You're gonna trust that thing? What if it gives out or somethin'?" [22:18]  * Cobweb_ puts the shield up for his headbutt and watches what happens [22:18] "that'd work, though we dont have any oil so just greasing up wicks would have to do" [22:19] The sheild which had turned to a brighter yellow from the time the ponies talking suddenly holds but then winks out with a light pop before leaving Cob exposed! [22:19]  * Curious watches as hoof gets high in front of everyone, she finds this amusing [22:20] Its just so addicting tho... [22:20]  * High_Tide grins, rubbing his head. "Heh!" Tide looks to Hoof and gives him a shrug. "Well, it's not like Duke. Duke is meant to basically act as a wall, while that thing is better for just one pony. I bet that thing is light as a feather, too, so it's better used in skirmishing." [22:20]  * Flora doesn't want to get cotton mouth in a desert [22:20] [Should've put >mildly relaxing effects of the California poppy. It doesn't do much.] [22:20] Almost like someone else was havin fun or something... [22:21] [sure..] [22:21]  * GreenHoof nudges Tide. "You should hang ol' Duke up on the wall in our house or at your tower. Ol' boy's protected a lotta lives." [22:22]  * Cobweb_ huffs a little as the shield pops and lets his arm down "Well...thats a neat little thing! I think i'll keep it!" [22:22]  * High_Tide nods, giving the battered door-shaped shield a sentimental sigh. "No kidding, hey? This little achievement of Nova's workshop has saved more lives than anything else that's come out of that place." [22:23]  * High_Tide chuckles, wiping his eye. "Shit. I'm getting something in my eyem here.." [22:23]  * Cobweb_ takes a mental note not to use it too often. He feels even more tired now then before but thats probably just his injuries acting up [22:24] "Tide ferric made that for you, not nova. He used the bone glue I made for it" [22:24]  * High_Tide shakes his head. "Ferric helped, but so did Nova. It was officially commissioned by her." [22:24]  * GreenHoof laughs and leans against Tide, finishing up his cigarette, dropping the butt and stamping it into the sandy floor with a hoof to make sure it's out. [Are we still in the snake-pony's place or did we leave?] [22:25] "holy---youre telling me the engineers built something in the past 4 months? woah" [22:25] [probably still at the exit] [22:26] ^ [22:27] "That's right. I asked for the engineers' help since they have access to tools and designs that could have helped. Whether or not they were needed, if you ever have doubts in the engineers, just remember, Duke has saved ponies from flame monsters, owlbears, and more. Also- Deduced, one of the engineers, is responsible for helping me build the dock's new trade ship, thank you very much." [22:27] [/me just wants to get a tent] [22:28] [you get a tent in your starter pack flora] [22:28] [yea but that ones broken] [22:28] [well there was one here] [22:28] "the dock has ships now? finally. and heh, its just fun giving them a hard time. Nova gets pissed at stahl a lot for crap he doesnt even do. Though now we got these books and whatnot could try a commission, finally" [22:29] [well i can't go in by myself and get lost and i dont even know what's inside] [22:30]  * High_Tide stifles a yawn and gives Cob another nudge. "Remember, bud. Anytime you consider trading your new shield, think of me first. If not, use it well, hey?" Tide smiles and looks on ahead, humming to himself. "Y'like that name? Ace?" [22:31]  * GreenHoof yawns and raises an eyebrow. "Was Stahl the one that made a handcannon or whatever? I remember a lil' gun design I saw once back on Earth called the Enoka or somethin'. It was just like his handcannon. Though in order for it to hit someone and do damage you had to literally stick the fucker right in the enemy's gut before you fire. I feel sorry for the poor son'vabitch that trusts [22:31]  * GreenHoof his life to that, heheh." [22:32] [oh so its like a pistol then?] [22:33] [yup] [22:33] "thats why you use unicron hacking powers" she chuckles "and enoka is a gun? we had a pony walking around town by that name. and yeah he was experimenting with a handcannon in his spare time. Also works at the bombshop with us". [22:33] [Used by the same stuff made to make the mining charges?] [22:33] [to bad too poor to make metal pellets[ [22:33]  * High_Tide glances at Hoof with a suspicious look, before looking ahead again. [22:35] == Ikea has changed nick to Ikea-|-Sleep [22:35] "Well i'll definitely keep this thing close! It looks really awesome and i'm sure its going to be really useful" [22:35]  * GreenHoof tilts his head. "A pony named Enoka? Man... I wish the pony that named me would've thought up somethin' original." [22:35] "You had someone help pick your name as well?" [22:37] == Starfire has changed nick to Starfire|Sleep [22:41]  * GreenHoof shrugs. "Not really help. More like prescribe. Some mare sittin' next to me on the train from Canterlot. Was a friendly lil' thing, I didn't talk much, but she sure liked to, and I enjoyed listening." Green Hoof looks up into the desert sky from the exit of the abandoned desert outpost. "...I wonder what ever happened to her..." [22:42] [she died a week after] [22:43] [:<] [22:43] [she got big american tittes] [22:46] [welp since were finished and all it was a pretty great adventure rain! Too bad i didn't get to participate to it all] [22:46]  * Flora goes back to get tents and stuff she dont need no guide [22:47] S-sorry about that cobby...;A; [22:48] [its alright rain [22:48] == Cobweb_ [webchat@modemcable075.209-22-96.mc.videotron.ca] has quit [Quit: Web client closed] [22:50]  * GreenHoof goes over and sits next to Tide, watching the sun go down. He leans against the blue stallion, his small green form relaxing onto to his much larger friend. "Who woulda thought there'd be a desert out here? We must've really travelled a long way..." [22:51] == Rain-Drop [Rain-Drop@mo-184-6-79-117.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds] [22:51]  * Flora returns setting down stuff [22:52]  * High_Tide settles down and gives Hoof's mane a ruffle. "It's a crazy world out here, Hoof. A desert isn't the strangest thing we'll see." [22:53]  * Flora leans on Curious going the whole feel good route like the ending to one of those cheesy comedy movies you watch when your at your cousins house "So lovely weather were having" [22:54] == Rain-Drop [~FourCanno@mo-184-6-79-117.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [22:55]  * GreenHoof smiles and giggles a little at the mane ruffle, wagging his tail a bit and shaking his head. "Nope. Certainly ain't the strangest thing I've seen since bein' in Equestria. But..." He looks up to the faded-pink evening sky. "...It's kinda nice out here. Wide and open, warm and sunny. I like it here." [22:56] "THat it is, almsot like there was a scorching sun trying to kill us right after fighting a scorching fire beast. fitting weather, i'd say" [22:57]  * Flora snickers "But it's a neat place and I've always liked it kinda hot, and since it doesn't get humid this place would be nice to spend awhile in. Like that house we spent the, what 5 night you and i were out here after the others showed up" [23:00] "yeah, was beat up, but living away from everything with a friendly face around is about the best thing you can ask for at times. And yeah I agree, humidity is the worst" [23:00] == High_Tide has changed nick to Vidya_Tide [23:01] [oh what are the books on specifically? know its in high equestrian but I went after all the ones that looked like fire, explosives, and non magic related pyromania] [23:01] "It's kinda like ohio weather except more predictable and not freezing cold in the winter... do you think it even gets cold her in the winter since this place is probably magic" [23:03] "in the desert or this dungeon thing? cuz the desert gets pissing cold at night" [23:04] [^] [23:05] [>pissing cold] [23:05] "well i know deserts get hella cold but that's where the house comes into play. Just fix up the door bar the windows and watch out for soul eating pony guys and this place is nice to live in. I've actually have been putting thought in it myself to spruce up the place and us it as a summer home" [23:05] [but anon, thats wrong. Piss is warm] [23:06] [ rain-drop ] [23:06] [pls don't disrupt] [23:06] [:3] [23:09] "house in the desert, maybe not, but I would definitely love to help build a little chateau on the bluffs. Especially a getaway from the confines of daily social activity" [23:09] == Rain-Drop [~FourCanno@mo-184-6-79-117.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 202 seconds] [23:10] == Mary_ONette [~kvirc@d-burl-bng1-64-222-152-5.ngn.east.myfairpoint.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:11] == Mary_ONette [~kvirc@d-burl-bng1-64-222-152-5.ngn.east.myfairpoint.net] has quit [Client Quit] [23:11] == Mary_ONette [~kvirc@d-burl-bng1-64-222-152-5.ngn.east.myfairpoint.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:11] "I mean i wouldn't stay here all the time, just every now and then when I want to relax and warm up. Tha'ts the reason why I went inside and found these tents [amoung other things i have to sort out since i dont know what you took] "so now i can have a tent for home and one for here if it gets really cold at night or if i have o move" [23:12] [yeah, you guys take anything else while i was npc?] [23:12]  * GreenHoof pulls out another cigarette and his lighter, lighting up and taking a puff. "Gotta admit, the thought's crossed my mind of maybe buildin' a little get-away shack of my own somewhere near where the desert starts. Not way the hell out here where ghosty-things attack from thin air, but buildin' a nice place to get away to bein' right next to the dry, sandy hot desert but still in [23:12]  * GreenHoof a green place for food and water." He sighs through his nose, thinking to himself. Maybe grab the family and get away from Four Cannon if that place goes to hell... [23:13]  * Vidya_Tide hums, giving Hoof a nudge. "Hey, y'know you're always welcome at the tower. God knows I need your help renovating it." [23:13] "mm...you mean like a camping cabin? that'd be nice. Its almost like camping every day, out here though...and hoof" she removes sunglasses "you are already in hell" [23:15] "well the little hut is somewhat on the fringe of here, wouldn't be to bad a spot and I wouldn't mind sharing if you don't make to big a mess" [23:17] "heh, well if you ever do decide to go out there, tell us first. never a good idea to go hiking that far out without letting other people know in case something happens, at least. " [23:18] "well i tried before i even came out here but you came with me instead" she chuckles [23:18] [I didn't say the thing about 'grabbing the family and getting away from Four Cannon if it goes to hell' out loud, that was Hoof thinking] [23:19]  * GreenHoof perks up and nudges Tide back, smiling. "I've been wantin' to go over there with you soon... Maybe for a few days." He shrugs. "But I can't deny how much I like the sand and desert, heh... Plus out here ain't nothin' from the town can bother us." [23:19] [as if that would stop me~] [23:20]  * Curious smiles "well...buddy system is great too. in fact doing both is the best decision" [23:20] == Rain-Drop [~FourCanno@mo-184-6-79-117.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:21] "so go out round up a few tell others we go and fun yes?"

[23:26] "You know place needs a some more basic things like pots and pans to boil that water in, I'm sure it's fine but you never know" she starts to ramble slightly her mind thinking of ways to tidy the place up [23:26] [shrek is drek] [23:27] == TaLiTr [~bob@204.237.69.124] has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:27] [also what does that dust from the fire corpse do, and what herbs do I now have from that sack] [23:28] == Ta_Li_Tr [~bob@204.237.69.124] has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds] [23:32] == Rain-Drop [~FourCanno@mo-184-6-79-117.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds] [23:32] [dammit rain] [23:33] "yeah, though we all seem ok. sure the water is fine.
