[16:46:19] Channel synchronized in 9.0 seconds [16:46:43] Aurora raises her eyebrows when she sees Cobb, not having any knowledge of how the pony would perform in the heat of combat "oh its you... never seen you in action before..." turning back and giving Hoof a grin "hey Hoofy, ready to head out?" [16:47:38] GreenHoof is pulled into the hug, and smiling, he shrugs as he's held tightly against the warm blue stallion's fur, giving a slight nuzzle and looking up at him. "Eh... Can't let my friends go out in danger, can I?" he says before looking to Aurora. "Yeppers," he says with a slight smile to the light blue mare. "Ready 'n willin'." [16:47:50] Cobweb is also wearing his dark green shirt as well as having his goggles around his neck "Oh well i did have some training with a sword back on earth, but i like to use my head when fighting instead of just charging in. I hope i'll do well on my first adventure!" [16:48:42] High_Tide lets go of Hoof before the hug turns (too) gay, spying the pegasus with a raised brow. "Hey there, what's your name, bud?" [16:50:06] [I think he is a sub race] [16:50:10] Cobweb is actually a bat pony, looking a bit tall with his purple coat  and dark brown mane. He turns to tide and looks at him with his yellow eyes "Uh? Oh i'm cobweb, but just call me cobb really" [16:50:58] GreenHoof sits on his haunches again, coughing a bit into his hoof and letting the more sociable Tide to the talking to the newblood. [16:51:06] [http://i.imgur.com/ELmSIEB.png] [16:51:34] Aurora walks over and nudges Hoof, whispering to him [16:52:47] High_Tide tilts his head and nods. "Will do." Sercretly Tide won't, because he has awful awful memory with names. "Th' names' Tide, but Green Hoof here calls me Captain cuz' I run the docks." [16:53:35] [brb fams are back] [16:53:57] [Rainy Rain rain, I gotta go for like ~15 minutes, gonna grab din din and bring it back to eat/PnP] [16:54:07] GreenHoof blushes a bit and nods to Aurora [16:55:26] High_Tide glances at Hoof, and then gestures to Arara. "And, it seems you met Aurora already." [16:55:29] GreenHoof looks to Tide and snickers. "Please. I'd call you Cap'n no matter what you were." [16:56:34] GreenHoof tilts his head. "Huh? Uh, yeah, I know Aurora pretty well!" [16:56:59] [I'll go on a 15 minute run myself brb] [16:57:05] Aurora gives Hoof a coy smile "I think he meant Cobb"] [16:57:10] GreenHoof [~GreenHoof@ip68-1-85-162.pn.at.cox.net] is now known as GreenHoof|AFK [16:57:16] [now I gotta go for like 15, sorry Rain you GOTTA start giving me a heads up!] [16:57:22] GreenHoof|AFK blushes and folds his ears back. "O-oh..." [16:57:25] [brb] [16:57:57] "Ah Well nice to meet you tide. I just hope i can be useful during this trip." [16:59:21] High_Tide nods. "Here's hoping. Might sound like a glory hog but I work best on these trips when others are making use of trusty Duke here." Tide gives the tower shield on his back a soft pat, shifting it. [17:01:06] "I brought myself some water, food and a tent if we need one, just in case. And neat tower shield. I guess i'll be watching from above since i'm the only flying pony of the group" [17:02:45] [test] [17:02:52] [yup] [17:03:07] [I think i forgot how to roll dice] [17:03:13] [oh right] [17:03:18] !roll d20 to avoid being a cheeki cunt to hoof [17:03:18] 19 == 19 [17:03:29] High_Tide avoid the urge to give Hoof a cheeky look. [17:07:38] [so were waiting on rain then?] [17:08:46] [Sorry sorry my family just came back form a week and im now baby sitting 4 shitlins hue so you all getting ready to head out then? [17:09:17] [yup] [17:10:17] Nova_Chicano_Labor [~Nova_Flux@99-92-69-161.lightspeed.elpstx.sbcglobal.net] is now known as Nova_Flux [17:10:36] [i think were waiting on green and rora] [17:10:55]  Heading out from your position the group soon is processed by the guard at the western gate. The guard who works you through the gate is bandaged slightly from getting blasted by the fireball a near week ago. "Make sure to kick it's ass for me, eh?" With a final stamp on his ledger the guard pony yells to the Earth ponies to open the gate which groans open with a creak of timber and [17:10:56] rope, the door opens outward from the wall as the stallions slowly pull the rope that are tied to the yokes around their necks. You step out from the safety of the interior walls slowly climbing the hill that leads up past Spark Chaser's tower made of cobbled together pieces and the hobbit hole of Feather Duster before reaching the western campgrounds. Stepping onto the ground you all [17:10:56] feel a tense almost angry atmosphere over take you as you trot through the remains of the campgrounds, scorch marks lay on the ground from the snake's attack though there is some small blades of grass slowly poking their way out of the ashen marks. Ahead of you lies the trail that the snake pony had appeared about a week ago. [17:11:01] [okes then!] [17:11:04] [Isn't midnight supposed to come too?] [17:11:27] [back] [17:12:52] High_Tide sighs through his nose and looks to the others, grinning. "Well? Let's get to it, then." [17:13:57] Aurora nods, seeing the obvious trail "well it won't take much tracking skill to follow this bugger eh?" [17:14:27] Cobweb knew about the fire snake attack but never saw the sight in person. He drops his ears a bit as he flies up and keeps an eye out for the group "Wow...that's some serious damage there...At least we can follow it easily" [17:15:50] High_Tide nods, walking down the trail with the other groundbound ponies. "Well, what I know about it so far is that water doesn't seem to hurt it too much, but it does hamper it. It has an orb in it's chest which is like some kinda core like it were a robot... and it can shoot fireballs like a motherfucker." [17:16:12] Aurora snickers, unable to resist "much better than you and Star~" [17:16:51] [/me hands Tide some aloe] [17:17:14] [hue[ [17:17:24] [ouch] [17:17:37] "Damn, too soon..." [17:18:41] Aurora giggles "and the ice cream worked pretty well on it too, seems cooling down the orb, or dousing it has a great effect against it" [17:19:10] "Ok so he shots fireballs and basically burns stuff...How big was it? Maybe its some sort of slime snake?" He keeps focus on the task as he uses his height as a lookout, checking for any potential danger [17:20:52] "Eh, pony-sized, actually." [17:21:46] "Ah alright then. I may have an idea that would help for the fireballs. But i'll have to test it out on he field. But i think it should work" [17:22:12] "... secret plans are a big no-no, go ahead and spill the beans while we walk" [17:22:14] "Eh?" [17:23:59] "Oh well its nothing too special, just when he wants to shoot a fireball just cover it with fog. It should make his fireballs less effective. At least thats what i have in mind" [17:26:32]  So begins the hike following after the trail of the snake pony the environs around the party slowly fade into the back ground as the town dissappears from sight. The devastsation is quite a sight as the majority of the area is burnt down with small gusts of wind pick up the ash to swirl in the air making you squint at the irritation. Nothing much of note occurs as you all continue on [17:26:32] your track as about 7 kilometers are gone and past when you come across a large tree that stands against the skyline of broken and twisted remains of the forest around you. The tree however which Cobweb spots from his highetened spot spots the tree first, this tree looks like the charcol briquets that you will see when an amatuer griller attempts to cook claiming mastery over the grill. [17:26:32] Small black flakes drift off from the few branches that remain ontop the tree while it's thick sturdy trunk stands strong none the less. Amongst it's roots you can spot a few that are looping upwards as if reaching for something, anything to put it out of the pain of being a burnt tree, however there is some small splotches of color that sway's in the wind there, in the color of Orange [17:26:32] with small wisps of grey smoke that drifts upwards. [17:28:58] "Hey guys, Theres a huge tree up ahead...It looks somewhat burnt and...I don't know somethings odd about it...I-is it on fire or something?..." [17:29:55] High_Tide hums and stares up at the tree, narrowing his eye. "Y'think?" [17:30:44] Aurora squints as they reach the tree itself, humming a bit "mmm thats weird yo..." [17:31:39] "Well be careful down there alright? I'm going to check around a little to see if anything's there. Maybe the snake is here too" [17:32:08]  Investigate what remains of the tree or Continue On? Cobweb Roll Per. [17:32:21] !roll 1d20+1 [17:32:21] (2) + 1 == 3 [17:32:30] High_Tide waits at the base of the tree while batbutt investigates [17:33:26] Cobweb can't seem to find anything as he puts his goggles on to help with the smoke [17:34:27]  Hey that cloud seems oddly close, wumpf! You crash head first into the cloud which sucks you up with your butt and rear legs sticking out, no damage thankfully as your inertia wasn't fast enough to hurt crashing into the cloud. [17:35:02] High_Tide seems to have cursed Cobb with a new nickname [17:35:36] Cobweb flails his back legs around as he tries to break free of the cloud "Gosh darn it cloud! Get out ma face!" [17:36:18] Aurora giggles, getting an eyefull of batbutt's batbutt [17:36:27] High_Tide frowns at the sound, looking up to spy batbutt's batbutt. [17:36:35] "...Y'allright?" [17:36:52] Aurora takes a look at the silly tree from the ground [17:37:37]  With a wiggle and a snap the stallion flops backwards from the cloud which disperses as the pony really needs to roll a flight roll to avoid falling to the ground. [17:37:54] !roll 1d20+7 [17:37:54] (2) + 7 == 9 [17:38:10] [nuhh] [17:38:34] [I'm back!!!!

Cob spreads his wings out as the leathery wings catch the winds below him making him enter a glide for a moment when a gust of wind suddenly spirals the bat ponie's wings out of control to crash into the ground! From three feet, [17:40:35] nothing brusied thankfully though the dark bat is now ever darker from the ashe getting into his coat. [17:40:45] FoxTrot [~textual@CPE-120-147-130-83.lflg1.win.bigpond.net.au] has quit IRC: Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz… [17:41:14] [gimmie just a sec and I'll be back in full force] [17:42:47] High_Tide stifles a chuckle, shaking his head. "Well, d'ya find anything?" [17:43:19] Cobweb lands on the ground with a pumf as he gets up and shakes his coat to try and get the black coal out "Stupid goozac...This really isn't my day...Ok well take two i guess. I got it this time" He takes off once more and looks around "Nothing yet. That cloud got in the way" [17:43:29] Aurora leans down and sniffs at the red root, sniffa sniff sniffa [17:44:26] *or ashe actually* [17:45:23] High_Tide walks over to Rora, watching her sniffa sniff the red root with interest. [17:45:30]  Cob another per if you wish since that cloud cover is being an annoying little brother purposfully getting in the way of the tv when your comfortable on the couch. Sniffing the plant your nose sparks up in dismay at what it is smelling as the spicy scent reminds you of hot peppers and hot sauce mixed into coke that was stuffed into your nose to be smelled. It's overpowering! [17:45:56] GreenHoof has been paying attention the whole time and stands next to Aurora and High Tide, watching the mare sniffasniff. [17:46:23] !roll 1d20+1 [17:46:24] (8) + 1 == 9 [17:47:23] Aurora scrunchies "oh god I can FEEL the spicy" [17:47:36] Weathervane [Weathervan@24-182-71-155.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com] has quit IRC: [17:47:52] Aurora graps a root and pulls it from the ground if she can "Tide make a note of this tree if you have your notebook..." stashing the root safely in her bag [17:48:15] High_Tide perks up, pulling out his notebook. "Can do. Grab some for me, will ya? I bet this can be used for cooking!" [17:48:42] GreenHoof watches the mare pull it up from the ground as he grumbles. "Don't test it on me..." [17:50:00] "Test it on him~" [17:50:04]  A small parting in the clouds shows that the trail continues onwards for quite a ways as the burnt woods had spread far far more in the area that wasn't tappered down by the pegasi teams, how ever you can see what looks like the area where the forest ends and the flats begin are a far distance away. Rora roll herbalogy skill at -4 since average skill. [17:50:34] Weathervane [Weathervan@24-182-71-155.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com] has joined #FourCannonPnP [17:51:27] "Hey guys!

[17:51:51] (17) + -4 == 13 [17:52:13]  Success! Roll d4 for amount of plant gathered Rora! [17:52:43] GreenHoof squints his eyes, staring forward into the burnt, dead area, shaking his head. "Damn... I think we're dealin' with somethin' fierce..." [17:53:40] !roll 1d4 plant pls thank you :3 [17:53:40] 2 == 2 [17:54:27] Cobweb flies down past the clouds and lower to the group to join them "What did you guys find?" [17:56:18] Aurora pockets some fiery plantaplants "lets keep going, I got a sample" [17:57:15] "Ohhh neat plant samples. Well i'll show you guys the way to the path" He goes on ahead and flies to the path and waits for everyone to follow him [17:57:35] High_Tide pokes Rora on the cheek, "Oy, share some!" [17:58:08] Aurora scrunchies "get your own, its right there!" pointing to the tree so Tide can collect some of his own roots, vagule remembering seeing Flora with some before [17:58:31] High_Tide huffs and draws his knife to gather up some of his own roots [17:58:57] GreenHoof watches, ont really having any interest in the roots, instead scanning the horizon of dead forests in front of them for anything of interest. [17:59:28] High_Tide is gonna chop them up and sneak them in Hoof's food~ [17:59:31]  Tide roll herbalogoy roll` [17:59:42] [is it an INT roll?] [17:59:49] [yes!] [17:59:55] !roll d20+-1 [17:59:56] (13) + -1 == 12 [18:00:30] GreenHoof turns around and looks to Aurora.

Roll d2 of what remains since Rora stole it alot of it.

[18:03:15] Aurora nods "alright, lets continue" [18:04:07] High_Tide gathers up the spicy roots and hurries after the others. [18:04:18] "Sorry!" [18:04:28] Cobweb is still waiting on eveyone at the start of the path, waiting on everyone [18:05:42]  Following after Cob who flaps his way through the devastation going from the tree at seven kilometers you soon reach the end of the day at around 20 kilometers for the day, you could contiune but to do so at night may invite dangers on the party as they travel, however you do spy what looks like a lit fire about, say five kilometers, you could risk it or spend the night camping for [18:05:42] the night? [18:05:53] GreenHoof turns back around, looking forward. "Huh... I still need the story on that organization..." he mutters absentmindedly, scanning the woods some more. [18:06:48] High_Tide peers to the light ahead, humming. "What d'you guys say, keep going for tonight?" [18:07:29] Cobweb lands down with the others and takes off his goggles "Wooo...i think we did some good progress. Though i would think it would be best to just camp for the night. We can continue tomorrow" [18:08:04] GreenHoof shrugs, scratching his mane. "Eh... up to y'all. I'm just here for the ride." [18:08:46] Aurora shrugs "I'm okay with setting up camp here, no need to tire ourselves out" [18:09:45] [gimme a quick sec] [18:11:05]  Camp for the night then my little ponies? [18:11:14] [campity camp camp] [18:11:16] High_Tide nods and walks over to a soft patch of grass, setting Duke down with a heavy thud and laying down beside it, stifling a yawn. [18:11:45] GreenHoof camps like a nEwB [18:11:57] Aurora sees Tide lazying about, walking over to his shield to set down her crossbow and sword, before starting to work on a SHELTER [18:12:02] [oh yis shelter nigga[ [18:12:52] High_Tide can't be doing with his shelter nonsense, and rolls over in the grass. [18:13:07] [k back] [18:13:40] Cobweb takes out the tent that he specifically brought for this moment and starts to set it up [18:13:57] ...What grass:3 [18:14:03] GreenHoof is content just laying under the stars. [18:14:21] Aurora enjoys rolling dice okay? sue me [18:14:26] High_Tide lays in the uncomfy burnt ground, then :< [18:14:26] Unless Aurora insists that he sleep in her shelter with her [18:14:35] [miss Rain, may I rollem dicem?] [18:14:46] [Yesm!] [18:14:59] [Sorry was chceking to see what happens when you sleep without shelter kek [18:15:05] !roll 1d20 rollem dicem [18:15:05] 9 == 9 [18:15:12] [fuck you kek, I'm good at shelters :<] [18:15:43] [guys, kek is bullying me!] [18:16:03] GreenHoof sighs and gets up, going over to help Aurora. [18:16:07] [hey i was caught head first in a cloud don't complain] [18:16:11] [can I roll?] [18:16:13]  Unfortunantly there is not much to be found to construct a proper shelter, however Cob finishes her tent and goes inside to sleep. [18:16:28] *HIS* [18:16:32] [BURN] [18:16:38] [/me hand cobb some aloe] [18:16:46]  Time to sleep or continue, note its around midnight and continuiing about with stuff will result in lost of FP [18:16:57] GreenHoof is fine with just sleeping [18:17:19] Aurora frowns, its not like the place is totally barren of stuff to make a camp, feeling dissapointed in herself for not being able to make something as simple as a basic shelter, taking off her big cloak and laying on it with a scrunchy face [18:17:27] Cobweb yawns as he goes to sleep in his tent, making himself a nice comfy fog pillow to lay his head on [18:17:27]  * Time to sleep or contine? Note it is around midnight and continuing to muck about with stuff will result in lost of FP. [18:18:16] [how big is my tent really? it should at least be able to fit 2 ponies right?] [18:18:31] [oh, where did you get aviator goggles anyways, Phoenix had to special order a pair of those from the mainland for like 50 something bits...] [18:19:13]  4 ponies if you squish together that is... [18:19:34]  So three plus yourself Cobby. [18:19:47] [Aight] [18:20:35] [uhm...don't weather ponies get some sort of goggles or something?] [18:20:58]  So everyone piles in with Cobby? [18:21:02] [Fraid not, we dotn have the materials to make proper goggles] [18:21:14] High_Tide is lying on the ground outside [18:21:27] Aurora sleeps on the ground! she can sleep in a shelter when she can make one! hmph! [18:21:36] [Awwww....] [18:21:41] Aurora shames Aurora for rolling a 9 [18:22:18] [well forget the goggles then...unless you'll allow the fact that i'v been in town for like a year a good explanation for them?] [18:24:02]  Luna's moon travels over the ponies as their dreams slowly form and the night mistress oversees them safeguarding them from nightmares for the night as per usual as she travels across the sky. Soon enough the ponies awake with Celestia's grace warming their bodies in the pony pile that is in the tent of the party. Breaking out food for breakfest and drink you fill your belliers and [18:24:02] your total stores of food decrease by one day, best keep track folks I sure am! 2/3 days worth of food, 3/4 days worth of water remain in your combined stores. [18:24:06] Cobweb gives everyone room into the tent, especially aurora since...well...she's basically the only mare here and he doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable [18:24:08] High_Tide bigspoons Hoof during the night [18:24:08] GreenHoof rolls over to keep Aurora warm? [18:24:13] [OH MY!] [18:24:19] GreenHoof is spooned instead~ [18:24:29]  such lewd...

Full horse appetite] [18:30:41] [well, 15 is enough for 2 pones worth of food for a mean] [18:31:38]  Tide goes out to search for some food, looking to find a shrubbery that might have some berries on it peeling back the bush to look for dem berries it instead crumbles down around his hooves. Aurora however finds a small cache of nuts and berries hidden in a hallowed out log on the ground! Hoof finds nothing much but some ashes of strange creature that looks like a slug that was [18:31:38] shriveled up. [18:31:46] GreenHoof hunts in case anyone else wants meat?

[18:38:00] Aurora comes back to the others with enough rations to supplement half of a meal "its not much..." [18:38:21]  Continue to where the fire was at from last night then? [18:38:45] Aurora continues along the path with the others? [18:38:48] Cobweb looks at hoof with a small smile "So, you find anything?" He packs the tent into his saddlebag and takes all of his things [18:39:34] GreenHoof shakes his head and follows Aurora, staring at dat plush blue ass. "Nah... Nothin'." [18:40:03] High_Tide hefts Duke and heads off with the others, yawning. [18:40:21] Liven [~Liven@c-24-0-157-91.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has quit IRC: [18:40:36] Cobweb shrugs and goes on "Well whatever, lets just keep going then" He flies up into the sky and keeps watch from above [18:41:44] GreenHoof watches the batpony fly up into the sky before looking ahead again, a pang of jealousy going trough him. he glances over to High Tide, then to Aurora, and then scans the horizon as they walk, looking for anything out of place or of interest. [18:42:13] Aurora keeps her eyes PEELED, totally ready for anything and everything! [18:44:58]  Continuing onwards your party heads to where the fire was last seen, eventually you come to a stop at what you can see before you is a campsite!  Note I had done a small issue with Curious and Flora's section unfortunatly so those bits that I had shared? Can you all forget that so Curi has something to report, my bad there guys mis understanding between me and my other players >< [18:44:59]  Coming back from the remains of the forest you hear the trotting of hooves where none other than Curious and Flora trot into sight from behind a boulder talking with each other before seeing your group! [18:45:33] High_Tide frowns, blinking at the two zebras. "Flora? What're you doing here?" [18:46:28] Aurora scrunches "woah Flora, Curious, what are you two doing out here!?" [18:46:42] Cobweb comes down with the group and stays at the bat mostly, not really liking to talk really as he keeps looking around just in case [18:46:59] GreenHoof 's eyes widen as he sees the two zebra mares, not saying anything as his two friends already said what needed to be said. [18:47:43] Curious stops her chat with Flora and looks at the source of her name "oh what, what're you guys doing here? wait you aske dthat first...we're following the hrose snake fire thing" [18:47:45]  Flora is so gonna be pissed that she missed this >.> Options here folks, have me npc her or ignore her for the most part since keeping track of npcs is not my greatest thing... [18:48:25] [well up to you really] [18:49:21]  Ok Curi will handle important things like fights and such. That ok? [18:49:24] High_Tide looks to the others, then frowns, rubbing his head. "Well, we're looking for it too. Is this where you guys've been?" [18:50:25] "yeah, Flora stopped by asking for supplies and tried to go out herself, I decided to tag along for buddy system and all that. were going to scout everything out and come back if we couldnt handle it ourselves" [18:51:32] Aurora sits on her haunches "oh well good we caught up I guess, we were heading out as ahhh... a more official group I guess" [18:52:13] Cobweb nods as he silently listens to the others, looking around and what not [18:52:43] ""well...anyway we have some good news, bad news, strange news" [18:53:04] "Uh? what's the news then?" [18:53:06] "The more the merrier, I suppose, but fair warning; Rora and I are complete loot whores." [18:53:21] Aurora snickers "Tide please!" [18:53:38] High_Tide chuckles, glancing at her. "What? It's true!" [18:54:02] Aurora rolls her eyes "whatever... what is it that you have to report Curious?" [18:54:03] Curious smirks at that and rubs her hooves together "excellent!I love some competition~" she chuckles and looks to cob "bad news is, the trail leads up to a giant wasteland. desert all around" [18:54:40] "thats also the good news, by the way, but only if you like deserts" [18:54:40] "Oh what? A desert? I didn't know we had a desert around here" [18:55:36] High_Tide nods solemnly. "The dessiccated flats, I think. Might as well make our way over while we still have the daylight." [18:55:39] "Neither did I cob, its just down the trial, if you keep following the scorch marks...we also found a timberwolf back that way...completely seared" [18:58:25] GreenHoof stands up straight next to High Tide. "Welp, I'm takin' Cap'n's word for it here. Doin' what he says." He looks up to High Tide. "What do you think, Cap'n?" [18:58:44] "Must of been the snake i guess" [18:59:24] "yup. and I hope you guys brought water. Oh and now for the strange news. you guys see those flowers by the petrified tree on the way up? "she looks at aurora, as she scans back through the chatlogs [18:59:44] Aurora scrunchies "well we came with a mission so it would be silly to turn back now..." [18:59:49] High_Tide chuckles, ruffling Hoof's mane. "Jeeze, I'm not that amazing... I think we better check it out. Normally I say if a raging animal leaves town, we better leave it alone, but that flame thing really gave me a shock, we better check it out." [18:59:57] Aurora turns to Curious with a nod "mmhmm?" [19:00:21] "well....if you dont mind searing pain of a thousand needles...eat it" [19:00:40] GreenHoof shrugs. "Pffft, I didn't say you were, Tidey-Whitey, but these types of operations... tend to go wrong without central authority..." [19:00:53] "because if you ever had a dragon fantasy, that'll do the trick" she winks [19:01:03] Aurora raises an eyebrow "oh like Flora did before, right" [19:01:31] "Ouch...Sounds like its real bad...But it still could be useful for something" [19:02:04] Curious nods to Cob and looks toward the fire pit "yep, you could say that" [19:02:55] "So...Which way do we go then? We could get going and look for that desert" [19:03:23] "That's the plan" [19:03:42] [brb] [19:03:52] Umbra|Electrum [~Nova@2602:306:348d:d2d0:7115:3055:1a34:1fa4] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 186 seconds [19:04:40] Aurora nods "never heard of a desert so close to town, its definitely worth checking out" [19:05:50] Cobweb nods as he flies back up to the sky "Well lets get to it then. Get your stuff ready and lets go" [19:06:45] Aurora is already at the ready you GIANT BAT FAG OH BURN "lets keep going, whats your water situation look like Curi?" [19:08:00] "not too bad, we're low on food though, otherwise we woulve checked out the desert a bit" [19:11:36] Cobweb waits for everyone before he goes ahead [19:11:50]  Moving on wards from the campsite you continue to trot for a while longer before reaching about the fifteen kilometer mark on the walk when the landscape is beginning to change from the remains of a forest to what looks like dried plains where most of the ground is blackened with ash being kicked up from the ponies walking as it slowly grey out their coats to a dull coated grey as it [19:11:50] sticks to their coats. However thankfully finally after such a long trip you begin to see the desert starting to show up in sight as the ground begins to shift below your hooves turning loose and sandy. Shimmering heat rises up from you eyesight in the distance, could I get a perception roll from those here please? [19:12:16] Aurora starts continuing down the trail "well we still have a few days worth of water, and if we find a brook or river we can get more... or if Cobb can make rain clouds~ [19:12:29] !roll 1d20+1 yet another per roll :D [19:12:29] (3) + 1 == 4 [19:12:31] D: [19:13:08] !roll d20 Tide peers at the desert with a soft hum. "It'll be harder for Cobb to make clouds here, there'd be less moisture in the air around the desert, hell, I bet there's even less because of the flame monster." [19:13:09] 20 == 20 [19:13:22] !roll 1d20+1 [19:13:23] (3) + 1 == 4 [19:13:55] [bacl] [19:14:39] "I uh... I brought some waterskins for us if it got desperate enough..." [19:14:45] !roll d20+-1 please tell me theres an oasis [19:14:45] (9) + -1 == 8 [19:15:06] GreenHoof looks up, trying to see what kind of clouds there are in the sky. [need a description~] [19:15:17] "did you...bring any extra food, perchance, hoof?" [19:15:35] "Sorry...can make rain clouds just yet...I can make just normal clouds though" He continues to fly above the group as he keeps an eye out [19:15:50] "I brought two days worth of grass-food for one pony. It might hold us all off for half a day." [19:15:58] "Maybe a whole day." [19:16:13] "I always bring a few days worth of food..." [19:16:18] "Same for me" [19:16:53] [>dat nat fukken 20 for perception] [19:17:57] "alright, good, we've already been out here for a while so flora and I might need to mooch a bit off you guys if this desert stretches much further.." [19:18:39]  The clouds seem to stop as they start to cross near the desert as if burning up upon reaching the area turning into small wisps of cloud. The party doesn't see much Rora has to close her eyes from the wind picking up, Hoof winces from some grain trying to get into his eye and Cob is blinded by the sand reflecting back the heat towards his head eyes. Curiouse can actually feel that [19:18:39] odd sensation that was so readily apparent at the campgrounds is stronger here almost like an open flame of heat was held to her face. Tide however, Tide seems to narrow his eyes most likely from the practice of getting sea salt in them on the river when he spots what looks like a small building off in the distance it wobbles like a mirage yet continues dispate his looking away to check [19:18:39] for said illusion. [19:20:06] High_Tide hums, picking up the pace as he points out a hoof to the horizon. "Over... there! I see a house, I think! What's something like that doing out here?" [19:21:17] Cobweb goes down to the ground, rubbing his eyes as the sun somewhat blinds him and keeps following the group "Uh? You found something?" [19:22:05] Aurora stays close to Big Blue, letting him shield her from blowing sands and wondering what the hell a desert was doing so close to town "s-see something?" [19:22:08] High_Tide nods, walking towards what he's sure he sees. "Yeah, follow me, it's just on the horizon, not far." [19:22:51] GreenHoof winces and rubs his eyes with a bald hoof, looking forward at the expanse of desert in front of them afterwards. "What... the fuck... is a desert doing up this far north?" [19:22:55] Cobweb follows tide and smiles a little "Well, make sure its not a mirage alright? don't want to get lost in here" [19:23:19] Aurora shrugs "just remember which way is out of the desert and we can get back to town alright enough..." [19:23:39]  Small note, I know that 40 km is really fuggin close to the town but eeeh my scale of my map might be wrong here imagine that its in the dessicated flats since im bad at distance >< [19:23:56] GreenHoof climbs onto High Tide's back, clinging his hooves around the much larger stallion. He closes his eyes, shielding them from the sand and sun, hugging tightly against him. "J-just tell me if you need my eyes, alright?" [19:24:49] High_Tide chuckles at Hoof's clinginess, steadying Duke infront of himself to protect against any of the sand wipping about. "Right, right, just stick close to me, guys, and we'll reach it in no time." [19:26:59] Aurora does stay close to the big sand shield! the one carrying Hoof and Duke "lets skeddadle there" [19:27:00] Cobweb uses his wings to help against the sand...if only he had goggles now :( but whatever, he'll buy some one day. [19:28:06]  The party continues forward following after the Captain's discerning eyeball as they begin to make tracks in the desert dunes following the direction of South, by south west then westerly direction as the nearly wavery form of the building slowly comes into sight, also ponies roll with your vit score please for trawling through the desert sands!~ [19:28:43] !roll 1d20+1 Vit huh? thats a new one [19:28:43] (11) + 1 == 12 [19:28:50] !roll 1d20+-1 fug...

What do I roll?] [19:29:57] -1 to roll [19:30:07] !roll d20-9 [19:30:07] 6 == 6 [19:30:19] ! [19:30:20] !

Tide and Aurora however just sweat it out rather heavily as they travel losing 2 FP. [19:33:22] [>tfw 12 isn't enough] [19:33:43] GreenHoof starts singing quietly to himself. "Y'see I've been to the desert on a horse with no name; it felt good to get out of the rain..." the stallion sings quietly [19:33:47] Aurora lets out a sigh, pulling at her armor as she feels really tired all of a sudden, dropping a whopping 3 FP "wheeeew, its fucking hot!" [19:34:31] High_Tide shifts his coat to tug at the chain shirt underneath, grunting to himself. "Eugh-" Tide glances over at Hoof on his back, giving the green poni a swat to the flank with his TK> [19:35:44]  By the way did we loose Cobweb and Curiouse? [19:35:59] [i'm here] [19:36:01] [I dunno where Curious went] [19:36:03] GreenHoof flinches. "Ahh!" He says, not expecting the swat. "Wh-what? You never heard that song?" The stallion asks, squinting a bit forward. he felt slightly elated at the experience of seeing a biome other than dense forest like surrounding Four Cannon for the past year, and indeed like most of his life back on Earth, wondering how the hell he never ran into this before. [19:36:43] [Theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSAJ0l4OBHM ] [19:36:43] Cobweb looks at tide and aurora "Are you two doing alright? I wish i could do a cloud or something but i don't think it would work in here" [19:37:19] [ha, I wanted to listen to that, but didn't feel like looking it up] [19:37:19] [sorry guys had to afk for a sec] [19:37:29] High_Tide shakes his head, giving a huff through his mouth. "S' fine.. I'll survive. The sooner we get to the house, the sooner I can get out of the sun, yeah?" [19:37:51] EyeSpy [~kvirc@199.47.65.62] has joined #FourCannonPnP [19:38:11] "Well alright then. We seem to be getting closer" [19:38:29] GreenHoof immediately pulls out one of his two waterskins, holding it in front of his big blue friend's face with a bald hoof. "H-here, Cap'n, drink this. It'll cool you from the hot sun." [19:39:14] Curious nudges Flora, with a shrug "is it just me or are you doing way better in the heat than you remember?" [19:39:27] [Curious you didn't even roll for it :I] [19:39:57] EyeSpyAFK [~kvirc@199.47.65.59] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 202 seconds [19:40:06] [oh pfft, thought the rolls were still from the per] [19:40:24] !roll 2d20 flora, me [19:40:24] 11, 17 == 28 [19:40:30] High_Tide eyes the waterskin for a long moment, tighting his lips. "You don't need to, Hoof..." [19:41:49] GreenHoof plops the mouthpiece of the waterskin into High Tide's mouth, tilting it up slightly so that some would pour into his mouth. "Just drink it. Don't want you passin' out along the way. Gotta keep your strength up." [19:42:16] High_Tide frowns and deadpans at Hoof, but accepts the drink nontheless. [19:42:28] [oh right, Flora doesn't have an SLSS...] [19:42:37] [yeah just used base 10] [19:43:19] Cobweb looks at aurora and sighs. He goes to her and puts a wing above her to protect her from the sun "Here. You look like the sun's getting to you." [19:43:32] GreenHoof makes sure his buddy gets plenty of water and then takes the waterskin away, crewing the top back on and placing back in his saddlebag. The stallion picks up the hood of his cloak and draws it around his head, looking like a Shao-lin monk or some shit as they wander through the desert. [19:44:31] "After two days... in the deseryt sun my skin began to turn red...~" [19:44:36] Flora [webchat@adsl-108-89-240-97.dsl.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net] has joined #FourCannonPnP [19:44:52] [hey flora!] [19:45:01] Flora is here and a bitch apparently ;-: [19:45:14]  Approaching the building  you can see it resolve itself in the real as the mirage dissapates from the ponies sight revealing a small what you would guess is a one room building with a tower leaning to one side with a small well in the front that is half buried in sand.  Look Flora quikc version of events you stayed at the campsite, gave intel report and are in the desert with the [19:45:14] others :D [19:45:15] Aurora shakes her head "don't worry about it Cobb" [19:45:58] [um... did we find anything besides a desert?] [19:46:09] [more sand!] [19:46:23] [and sorry im late >-> i just got back into town] [19:46:23] Curious skips along, feeling strangely in tune with the merciless expanse, feeling a tad envious of floras mohawk for a moment [19:47:09] "No no i insist. Can't leave you in the sun to burn like this. Oh look! We finally made it." He looks at the well and goes to check it [19:47:50] [also FLora just failed a VIT roll to not lose FP] [19:48:02] Aurora sees the building, scurrying to the door to poke her nose inside, if there is one [19:48:02]  The well is boarded up, though the wood looks fragile. [19:48:17] Flora is happy to have a lack of that messy hair as the dusty breeze flows through it but those VIT rolls would hvae come in handy right now [19:48:36] Cobweb tries to break te wood boards with his hoof [19:48:54] Roll with str mod please [19:48:58] High_Tide sets Duke down leaning against the building, frowning at the well. "If it's sealed, it's gotta be dry as a bone; there's not even a bucvket or anything to get any water..." [19:49:04] !roll 1d20 SMASH [19:49:04] 6 == 6 [19:49:17] GreenHoof squints his eyes from his perspective from the big blue stallion's back, trying to see what he thinks is some sort of tower in teh distance. Despite feeling liberated from being in the cast expanse, and thinking that he'd like to have a vacation home here in the windy, sandy expanse of this desert, he stares ahead with concern. [19:49:32] [o-oh we're already there] [19:50:21] "Well, there might be something inside still...You never know and it looks like it could break easy..." [19:50:24]  Your hooves bounce off the boards with a boing noise. [19:50:26] Curious walks up to the well "timmy might be stuck inside, though" [19:51:08] Cobweb shakes his hoof as he chuckles weakly "T-tough...Would one of you want to give a try at it?" [19:51:12] Curious tries to pull the boards off [19:51:34] !roll d20+3 get over here [19:51:34] (4) + 3 == 7 [19:51:50] High_Tide shakes his head and walks over to the tower to have a look. Does it have its own door or is it just the door to the house?" [19:52:18] Aurora heads into the building, and more importantly, its shade [19:52:18] Flora wipes the sweat off her face and looks at the boards before kicking at the sand happy to see the strangly out of place desert before looking around [19:52:57]  Rora you come to the door it appears well worn and has scratch marks on it from claws, almost like an animal scratched at it in anger. Opening the door reveals...ting I pm you huehuehue. Curi your attemps fail though it creaks alarmingly. Tide sees that the tower is actually leaning against the house itself with two of the four legs holding it up broken at the base. The building is [19:52:57] still sturdy, yet its tilted on its side.
