[22:35] We rejoin our intrepid pegasi and... wait are those ground ponies with them...? as they streak towards the city, each of the three pegasi carrying another pony in their grasp, the ground far below them. For the poor ground pounders, this is the highest they must have ever been in the equestrian skies as they come in to land near the new safe zone, near where they found the house of the filly Sirocco last week. Fog hangs heavy in the air and makes visibility difficult. [22:35] The streets stretch both ways out from the house, the houses on one side looking normal and standing tall and proud as before, wheras on the other side of the street, a group of pure white homes stretch out until it disappears into the fog ahead. However these homes all look like they were hit by Katrina, and the clouds are patchy and mostly broken up, parts of houses laying stationary mid air and being moved only by the gentle breeze. An ever present layer of black clouds hangs over the newly revealed housing, hanging at about third floor level and crackling ominously with lightning and purple glow, preventing the pegasi from gaining too much height above the streets. [22:35] The floor feels hard yet soft under the hooves of the earthies as they disembark from their mounts, the cloudwalk shampoo seeming to have worked a treat. [22:35] [Begin] [22:35] [[ aye ]] [22:36] * Weathervane looks around with a smile as Al, Hoof, and Arc effectively stand on the clouds to accompany her and the other fliers, taking a moment to glance around and survey the spot. "So, welcome to the ghost town..." [22:36] * Arc_Glow kinda paws at the "ground" [22:36] "no no no, I don't like it!" [22:37] "it sounded less scary from the ground!" [22:37] * GreenHoof disembarks from Pheonix, squinting his eyes to see into the fog. He :/ faces. "Huh... low visibility." [22:37] * GoldenTouch looks around the beautiful scenery around "Don't worry arc, you'll get used to it!~ Isn't it beautiful...." he looks around the cloud city with a wonder in his eye, like the first time he say it [22:37] * Phoenix_Down snickers, crouching down and letting Arc touch down on the clouds, or Hoof, I dunno anymore [22:37] * Al_Dente takes a look, surveying the area around him. Standing in awe as he looks as the ground falls further and further away. "Crazy ayeeee." [22:37] "just remember, never drop anything!" [22:38] "wait, am I being held up by my *hair?" [22:38] "And try to stick near one of us pegasi at all times, we dont know how long this effect lasts, unless it said so on the bottle which i've still yet to read" [22:38] "rinse, lather, repeat" [22:39] * GreenHoof feels a little giddy being up in the sky, but composes himself as ~professional aviator~. He trots around, not really listening to Arc's shenanigans as he narrows his eyes again, trying to see into the fog. "Damn. This place looks like it was hit by Katrina." [22:40] * Phoenix_Down gets a possibly clever idea, taking the locket from last time's visit, and tying it around the hilt of his sword "juuuuust in case... yea must have had more cloud layer clear up..." trotting towards the #REKT homes [22:40] * Weathervane immediately notices that this stretch of cloud homes seem a lot more disorderly than some of the earlier ones, moving toward one of the broken-off pieces of the home to survey the damages. "Yeah... whatever hit here hit REALLY hard... didn't think there was a huge disaster, but apparently..." [22:40] "Reminds me alot like hurricane charlie...." he follows with the group toward the wreckage, remembering the first hurricane he ever faced [22:41] "I take it we aren't just here to steal all their TVs? [22:41] * GreenHoof smirks and looks over at Golden. "Hey, I remember that one. We thought it was coming to Louisiana for a while, heh." [22:41] * GoldenTouch smiles saddly..."Yeah...then a direct turn made it hit florida hard...ruined the town I lived in..." [22:42] * GoldenTouch smile's grow "But we rebuilded and became a closer town because of it I guess, just like luisiana~" [22:42] OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT [22:42] "Shiiit." [22:43] Everyone roll perception. [22:43] !roll d20 [22:43] !roll 1d20 perceptioan [22:43] 14 == 14 [22:43] 8 == 8 [22:43] !roll d20 [22:43] 12 == 12 [22:43] !roll 1d20 perception [22:43] 18 == 18 [22:44] !roll 1d20 :3 [22:44] 5 == 5 [22:44] :< [22:45] A sudden shrieking call echoes from the fog at the end of the wrecked, sounding angered and slightly bird like, though unfamiliar. Arc spots a flash of red disappear into the fog and out of sight so quickly that its impossible to make out the shape. [22:46] "anyone get a good look at that red thing?" [22:46] * GreenHoof flinches and his ears perk up, immediately planting his hooves deep into the cloud and looking around. "No, what the hell was that?" [22:47] * Phoenix_Down shakes his head "no.. I heard that shit though" [22:47] * Weathervane looks up to the ominous layer of dense stormclouds overhead, staying on the street and flinching slightly at the shriek. She drops the piece of cloud she was holding to rub her ear with her shoulder. "Ugh... nah, not me..." [22:48] * GoldenTouch is reliving the past for a moment before the shreik sets him back into reality "Jesus tapdancing christ, nope, you said red? Lets keep our eyes out" [22:49] "I hope it wasn't whatever wrecked the town like this" [22:49] * Phoenix_Down shakes his head "thats most likely the storm itself.." [22:49] * GreenHoof turns back around and surveys the destruction. "I dunno... this kind of looks like it was caused by weather phenomenon. Then again, could be wrong." [22:50] * Redlight (~MacBook@c-50-171-11-141.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has joined #FourCannonPnP [22:50] [can i watch the adventure?] [22:50] [no+ [22:50] [get out] [22:51] [switching to phone] [22:51] * GoldenTouch (~YellowMol@c-174-58-117-125.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/) [22:51] * Phoenix_Down looks around "I guess going down this street is our only lead though... hopefully there are no more of those rainow rays..." [22:51] [gtfo Red] [22:52] * GoldenTouch (webchat@66.87.148.123) has joined #FourCannonPnP [22:52] "wait, rainbow rays?" [22:52] "Mmh... something we've come across here before. More territorial than anything, but it could be deadly if we're not careful." [22:54] * GreenHoof immediately thinks of the mind ray that killed Bob, a twinge of discomfort coming over him for a second. He trots back over to the group, looking at each of them. "What's the objective?" [22:54] * GoldenTouch adorns a Aussie accent "Oi, the rainbow ray, one of the deadliest creatures in the skois, beautiful as can be, but he'll getcha" [22:55] * Rain[Plantthoughts] (Rain@mo-184-6-73-251.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 190 seconds) [22:55] "RIP steve" [22:55] * GreenHoof snickers [22:55] "Neverforget..."

"Got it. Where's the nearest one?" [22:57] * Al_Dente sticks to Weather's side as he nods and glances around. "Are there more places like this?" [22:57] * Weathervane looks up to the dark skies and the flashes of lightning overhead, unable to peer through the dark layer before turning to Hoof. "I guess the main thing is to pinpoint the source of the storms. Whenever it starts acting up, it usually has a root in either the factories or... well, anything that's up there. Like that serpent that took a chunk out of me last time, heh." [22:57] * GoldenTouch clears his throat, this is kinda serious "yeah, hopefully we can learn more about these factory's themselves as well, that's the thing hoof, we need to find it" he gestures to the black clouds above and the fog "it's gonna take some time to find it in these conditions" [22:58] * Phoenix_Down nods "yep... either way, we need to press on... hopefully the added muscle will help us out" [22:59] * GreenHoof nods. "Alright, I'll help however I can." [22:59] * GreenHoof looks up at the dark clouds, forwning. "Dang, not a pretty day here in cloud city. I wonder where Lando is~" [23:00] "I'll help examine the factories as best I can. I'm pretty good with machines" [23:01] "Hanging with Icarus" he trots forward into the fog, whistling a tune oddly familar to the song of storms [23:02] * Arc_Glow follows behind [23:02] A crackle of thunder booms in the clouds overhead as a flicker of lighing arcs down, impacting the building to the left of golden and tearing half the wall apart. The smell of ozone hangs in the air and everyone's fur stands on end. [23:02] * Weathervane shuffles through the rubble of the wrecked houses once more before nodding and following close to the rest of the group, looking ahead to the path even though she can't see much through the fog. "Hmm..." [23:02] "............" [23:02] * Phoenix_Down jumps back a bit, away from the thunder, his fur standing on end "brbrbrbrbrbrb" [23:03] * GoldenTouch stops whistling completely shocked internally by the lightning strike [23:03] * Al_Dente trots over towards Hoof and taps his shoulder, motioning at him "Stick close, I dont want to have any of us get our asses burned." Smirking as he trots over back to Weather and nudges her side with his, "How about that weather, the fog, thunder, we best be on our toes." [23:03] * GreenHoof shivers, feeling the tinge of electric energy in the air. "F-fuck..." [23:03] "yeeeegh!" [23:03] * GoldenTouch looks at his hooves...."D-did I do that?" He wonders if the song of storms really holds power [23:03] * GreenHoof tightens the space between him an Al, standing next to the fellow earth pony. [23:04] Do the group head down the street into the fog? [23:04] "that smell takes me back..." [23:05] * Phoenix_Down heads down the street, into the fog [23:05] * GoldenTouch is now known as GoldenThorGodofLightning [23:05] * Weathervane snaps her head in the direction of the lightning strike and shivers at the near-strike, staying put with Hoof and Al as she looks to the sky. "Yeah... 'specially with these storms. Better push on quickly..." [23:05] * GoldenThorGodofLightning heads into the foggy abyss scared of his newfound powers [23:06] * Arc_Glow scurries quickly after [23:07] * GoldenTouch (webchat@66.87.148.123) has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:07] [fak] [23:07] [what did I miss] [23:07] Moisture clings to your coats as the party trecks through the ruined streets, the visibility inside the fog is poor, but still enough to see the immediate area. Most of the houses either side of the group are totally Katrina'd, but there are some still left mostly intact. [23:07] [last thing I saw was arc following] [23:07] * GreenHoof trots along with Al and Weather. [23:07] That was it. [23:08] * Phoenix_Down looks to his left and right "Ima try to check out one of these in tact houses..." [23:08] "see if there is any hint to what happened here" [23:08] * GoldenTouch nudges phoe "you think we should try and find the factory-" he sees him disappear and sighs [23:09] * GoldenThorGodofLightning (webchat@66.87.148.123) Quit (Ping timeout: 190 seconds) [23:09] * Phoenix_Down heads over to investegate a still in tact house! his eyes keen to any goings on around him [23:09] * Arc_Glow follows Nix to the intact house and tactically stacks up at the door [23:10] "Split up gang. Groovy~" [23:10] * GreenHoof laughs [23:10] * GoldenTouch :/ faces and ignores the houses: trying to walk further into the fog to find the source of all this chaos, his trusty broom on standby [23:10] Phoenix and Arc hear a crackling sound faintly as they stand near the house, like the sound of static electricity on a van der graaf generator. [23:12] "I should have brought a 10 foot pole" [23:12] "Al, Weather, maybe we should stick with Golden." [23:13] * Phoenix_Down swallows, entering the home on full alert, more interested in finding clues on how to stop this, rather than brute force it [23:13] * Mary_ONette[Work] is now known as Mary_ONette [23:13] * Weathervane steps over any cracks and rubble in the streets as she looks up, the wall of cloud above not looking any clearer as she keeps an eye out for any oddities overhead. "Yeah... in this fog, we should try to keep clustered as much as we can..." [23:14] Phoenix roll a d20. [23:14] !roll 1d20 Okay! [23:14] 20 == 20 [23:14] Hah! [23:14] [damn son] [23:15] Phoenix investigates the insides of the house, noticing an eerie purple glow coming through from one corner. Further investigation reveals another one of those cloud and crystal lamps, glowing the same sickly colour as the others. [23:16] "what is THAT?" [23:16] * Phoenix_Down puts out a hoof to stop Arc "don't touch it..." investigating it closer [23:17] "oh, no, I don't want to touch it, it looks *weird*" [23:17] * Phoenix_Down hesitantly reaches out his hoof towards it [23:18] The lamp wobbles under your touch, but doesnt do much else. The part outside begin to hear the same static popping that Phoenix and Arc heard. [23:18] Party [23:19] * Phoenix_Down takes the lamp when it doesn't electrocute him "this will come in handy.... I guess..." [23:19] As Phoenix picks up the lamp, the glowing crystal falls out of the cloud holding it in place, dropping to the floor with a thud and dimming. [23:20] "nevermind" [23:20] * Weathervane twitches her ears as she tries to pinpoint the static, keeping her eyes alert toward the sky as well as toward the houses for indications of where the sound might be coming from. [23:20] * Phoenix_Down sighs, trying to pick it back up with the cloud container [23:21] The crystal flickers and goes out completely, and Phoe is unable to place it back in right... Must have disturbed some kind of magic... [23:21] Everyone outside roll d20 [23:21] "nix, you broke it" [23:21] !roll d20 [23:21] 6 == 6 [23:21] * Phoenix_Down sighs, resiging to simply grabbing and pocketing the crystal "we can worry about this later, lets catch up with the others" [23:22] !roll 1d20 [23:22] 18 == 18 [23:24] !roll d20 [23:24] 15 == 15 [23:26] Weather can see nothing in the murky fog besides more drifting fragments of buildings, however the other members of the party spot a large white wall in the distance... a large building maybe? The crackling pops come from all around the group now, and a slight hissing sound can be heard, very familiar to Golden and Weather due to their time in the last cloud factory. [23:27] * GreenHoof 's ears flop over at the noise. He continues listening and scanning the area. [23:27] * Arc_Glow heads out with Phoenix to link back up [23:27] * Phoenix_Down shakes his head, taking the cloud container, and the crystal both, and heading back outside to catch up with the others [23:27] !roll d20 [23:27] 9 == 9 [23:29] * Able_Tome (AbleTome@b1f-008.static.bnc4free.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [23:30] * Weathervane shakes her head as she can't make out fog from cloud ahead of her, instead keeping close to Golden, Hoof, and Al while listening to the crackling electricity. "Hmm... think we're getting closer..." [23:30] * GoldenTouch looks at weathervane "well, looks like we found er" [23:30] Glowing lighs can be seen in the mist around the group, not quite visible among the fog. The street stretches two ways, towards the large white wall or back the way you came. [23:33] "Looks like we found out mark, boys." [23:33] * Liven (~Liven@pool-108-25-172-86.atclnj.east.verizon.net) has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:34] our* [23:35] "Out mark? Nice fuckup captain studder~" he jokes [23:35] "I meant our, fag~" [23:35] "Shit, grammer Hitler!" [23:35] "Nazis." [23:35] "Grammar...? Wut?" [23:36] A ball of lightning shoots out of the fog and arcs over Hoof's shoulder, making his fur stand on end. [23:36] "what are you two going on about now? WAUGH" [23:36] "You mispronunced a word...not grammar?" He wonders and thinks hoof is seeing text [23:36] "JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST I REALLY AM THOR" [23:37] * GreenHoof 's pupils shrink and his fur stands on end, ears sticking up straight. "F-fuck..." [23:37] * Arc_Glow takes cover [23:37] * Weathervane looks over in the direction of the wall and holds her hoof over her eyes. "Ah... looks familiar, though it's hard to tell what it really is from here... might need to step a little--" She pauses at the lightning strike and starts her way on the path toward the white wall. "Movin' on!" [23:37] * GreenHoof slinks over to Al and Weather, shivering and trying ot make himself smaller. "Lightning can freak me out sometimes, man..." [23:38] More sounds of static popping and buzzing are heard as two more balls of lighning fly out from the direction of the glowing lights. Weather and Dente roll d20. [23:39] !roll d20 why [23:39] 16 == 16 [23:39] [because you touch yourself at night] [23:39] !roll d20 for whai [23:39] 6 == 6 [23:41] Weather's agile body flits out of the way of one crackling ball of lightning, however another flies straight at her... only to impact with Dente's side as he blunders in front accidentally, ending shocks through his body and dealing 1DMG. [23:42] Whatever is in the mist seems to be hanging back and shooting from a distance, making tracking their movements hard, what do? [23:43] * Al_Dente is shocked as his fur and mane quickly stand end on end. His joints making jerking movements as he is shocked before he breaks as it passes and hurls himself into the cloud's fluff. [23:43] * Phoenix_Down squints his eyes at the form that is apparently shooting lighting at them "we need to get a move on... and now!" [23:44] * Weathervane manages to duck away from the blow and nope's away, stepping at a faster pace and pacing around to let her adrenaline pass over. She huffs a moment and motions over to tend to Al, propping him upright and placing his foreleg over her shoulders. "Oooh, you alright there?" [23:44] "we're moving up to that structure?" [23:45] * GreenHoof nods in agreement with Pheonix. "Alright... come on, yeah, let's keeping moving!" [23:45] * GoldenTouch nods dealing with pms and scoots on ahead [23:45] * Arc_Glow moves out [23:45] Glowing lights shine from the mist on every side but behind the group, where the large white wall lays. More ball lightning arcs overhead as the forms continue trying to snipe the party. [23:46] "lets get to those walls!" [23:47] "We're takin' fire!" Hoof says as he books it for cover. [23:47] * Al_Dente nods and sits up, his mane standing on ends as he shakes his head and tries to smooth out his hair. Smiling faintly as he nods to Weather and offers a hoof to her, using her shoulder to life himself up. "Im fine, take cover." [23:48] * Weathervane quickly runs forward with Al and tries to keep the both of them out of the way of the lightning, quickly advancing with the rest of the party in the direction of the wall. [23:48] * Curiosity is now known as Ron_Paul [23:48] * Ron_Paul is now known as Curiosity [23:50] As the party approach the wall they notice... A door! The top of the building is blocked off by the cloudfront and the door seems like the only entrance. The lightning continues to crackle around the party. Hoof roll d20. [23:50] "we better hustle, it's crazy out here!" [23:51] * Phoenix_Down heads to the door! pressing his ear against it to listen for trouble, before entering [unless he can hear trabble :3] [23:52] Phoe hears nothing but the impact of a ball of lighning next to his head.

[23:52] * Busy_Tide is now known as High_Tide [23:52] * Arc_Glow takes cover inside [23:53] * Arc_Glow scans the room for anything unusual [23:53] Hoof gets broadsided by a bolt of electricity, knocking him off balance slightly and dealing 1DMG [23:55] * GreenHoof falls down and looks at his steaming flank. He stands up, shaking off a shiver down his spine. "O-ouch..." [23:55] * Able_Tome (AbleTome@b1f-008.static.bnc4free.com) has joined #FourCannonPnP [23:55] * Phoenix_Down grabs Hoof, helping him inside after he gets shoooocked [23:55] Does the party all enter the building? [23:56] * Phoenix_Down is entered building yes thank you much pls [23:57] * Weathervane entered alongside, as well. [23:57] Yes [23:57] �A dark corridor spreads out ahead of you, the faint whistling of wind coming from the slightly ajar door ahead at the other end. As the last pony enters, a great hissing sound comes from the direction they came, crackling bursts of lightning impacting the solid door. [23:57] * EyeSpy (~kvirc@199.47.65.62) Quit (Ping timeout: 186 seconds) [23:57] "So this is one of those factories?" [23:58] "Get inside" [23:59] * Arc_Glow is already inside [23:59] * Phoenix_Down looks around at the piercing darkness... if only that lamp still worked "anyone got some torches?" [23:59] "I can be a torch" [23:59] * Arc_Glow lights up her horn [00:01] * GreenHoof squints his eyes, adjusting them to the sudden dark and light. "S-so this is it, huh?" [00:02] "I got a torch." [00:02] * Al_Dente digs in his saddlebag and produces a torch and firestart, trying to get it lit as the faint sparks are highlighted in the darkness of the building. [00:02] Her horn flickers to life, showing a plain coridor ahead of the party with a few coat racks either side. [00:02] * EyeSpy|2 is now known as EyeSpy [00:02] * Weathervane glances around to make the most of the horn's light, glancing around and trying to take her mind off the lightning volleys outside. "Mmh... it definitely feels like one, anyway. Only one way to know for sure, though..." [00:02] [any coats?] [00:03] Nope [00:03] [drats] [00:04] * Phoenix_Down starts down the corridor, keeping his eyes peeled for loose tools or scrap he could take back with him [00:04] * GreenHoof slowly, very slowly and catiously, starts cantering down the cooridor, constantly looking left, right, and forward for anything. "Maybe we should try to keep quiet, just in case..." he whispers. [00:05] * Weathervane silently nods to Hoof to affirm before keeping her sights ahead, walking ahead a little ways to survey the surroundings. [00:06] The coridor is just that, a long coridor with a slightly ajar door at the other end. [00:07] * GreenHoof unholsters his crossbow, leaving it dangling around his neck in a one-point position as he approaches the door, reaching a hoof slowly to it to open. [00:07] * GoldenTouch_ goes npc.... [00:08] * Al_Dente keeps close to Hoof and Weather, torch and bone in mouth as his eyes dart around. "How long you think this place has been here?" [00:08] The door appears to be jammed. [00:08] * Arc_Glow tries to keep to the center of the party to provide light [00:09] * Weathervane keeps back a small ways from the door even as it appears stuck, shrugging to Al while staying alert for any noise from the other side. [00:09] * GreenHoof curses under his breath and looks back to the others, whispering. "It's jammed shut." [00:09] * Liven is now known as Liven|GM [00:10] "Let me try man." [00:10] * GreenHoof steps aside. [00:10] * Al_Dente nudges Hoof and motions at the door. "Help me buck this door." [00:11] "is it locked? I kind of know my way around locks" [00:11] * GoldenTouch_ (webchat@66-87-148-123.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 190 seconds) [00:11] * GreenHoof nods. "Sure thing."

[00:11] [cloud snakes... it had to be cloud snakes] [00:12] * GreenHoof nods to Weather, Pheonix, Golden, and Arc. "Alright... anyone with weapons, I'd get them ready, just in case." [00:12] "One." [00:12] * GreenHoof readies himself [00:12] "Two" [00:12] * Al_Dente shifts his hooves and adjusts his hindlegs as he presses them against the door and pyschs himself up. "Two." [00:13] "Three!" [00:13] "Three." [00:13] Roll d20 [00:13] !roll d20 for kicking door [00:13] 13 == 13 [00:13] !roll d20+2 [00:13] (18) + 2 == 20 [00:14] The door is easily smashed aside and unjammed, flying back on its hinges and making a thud against the wall. The way is now open. [00:14] "nice" [00:15] * GreenHoof smirks. "Who says brute force never works?~" [00:15] * GreenHoof creeps along through the door, keeping himself low to the ground. [00:15] * Phoenix_Down snickers "good work you two" heading over to the now open door [00:15] "I know." [00:15] "The Russian way works." [00:15] * Weathervane braces herself as she starts to approach the accessed entryway. "Alright! Now, let's see where this goes..." [00:15] * GreenHoof snickers [00:16] The room opens up ahead and a light shines in one the ponies, actual sunlight coming from a gap in the black cloudwall, this must be at the very edge of the city! A breeze ruffles across your fur as you stand there, eyes taking in the sight ahead of you... [00:16] Pools of rainbow coloured liquid cover the floor, looking like the stirring pools of Cloudsdayle. The pretty coloured fluid shimmers in the light and the contrast against the stark white building looks beautiful. A large, mostly transparent tank full of the rainbow sits in one corner, a hole in the side dripping out its contents, which cascade out the side of the broken down wall of the building in what is probably the same beautiful waterfall that lured the first party in. [00:16] The wind blows in from a hole in the far wall, sweeping across the massive room and ruffling the clouds and some jimmies too. [00:17] "Some mess they left behind, like they left and just said fuck wrapping up shop. Look at all this stuff, it looks industrial grade." [00:17] * GreenHoof smirks. "Anyone read that shitty Rainbow Factory fic?" [00:17] * Phoenix_Down shakes his head "no" [00:17] "I wonder if any of this is valuable" [00:18] "it's kinda pretty, in a lisa frank kind of way" [00:19] * Phoenix_Down shakes his head "we aren't here for valuables, we're here to shut this stuff off...." [00:21] * Weathervane looks around in amazement at the sight of the rainbow falls cascading down, perked up somewhat by the sunlight in her sights as she glances around the area. "All good... just gotta know where to begin." [00:21] [[ brb dinner :v ]] [00:22] * Flora (webchat@adsl-75-10-149-209.dsl.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) has left #FourCannonPnP [00:22] "why not both?" [00:22] "The machinery we're here to turn off must be in a different room, looks like." [00:23] * Phoenix_Down trots around, looking for other doors or exits "anyone see another way to go?" [00:23] The room is mostly silent besides the rushing of wind. There is now hum of machinery at all. [00:25] * GreenHoof looks around, trotting up to the tank holding liquid rainbow. "I ain't seein' much machinery here boys." [00:26] "I wonder if we could make paint out of this?" [00:26] * Phoenix_Down pokes his head over to the hole in the wall that is letting wind in, just sticking his head out to look around [00:26] * Weathervane looks over the horizon for any other possible exits or entrances. "Hmm... not sure about other ways... From what I see so far, the only door here's the one we came in..." [00:26] "just this room and the foyer?" [00:27] Brb a sec, continue to look around ect. [00:28] * GreenHoof trots around, kind of enjoying the My Little Pony-like atmosphere with bright colors and rainbows.

Hundreds of the same floating plants encountered in Sirocco's place drifting slowly towards the building, floaring past the head of the pegasus and inside, carried on the swift breeze. Countless plants are drifting out there, a real marvel of nature. [00:36] * Phoenix_Down wags his tail a bit "cool!" [00:38] The plants drift around the interior of the building, floating between the ponies of the party. [00:39] "and me without my hookshot" [00:39] * GreenHoof smiles, poking a few of the plants as they drift by. "Woah... this is pretty..." [00:40] * Rain[Afk] (RainPlant@mo-184-6-73-251.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 186 seconds) [00:42] * Arc_Glow tries to figure out how they float [00:42] "bloody magic, I bet" [00:43] The plants consist of a long tendril hanging down under a large, balloon like sac of air, there are mant flowers on the leafy tendrils. [00:44] "wonder what they are..." [00:44] * GreenHoof holsters his crossbow, trotting over to the hole and looking outside. "Wow... This is amazing." [00:45] * Arc_Glow looks on in awe, with a little concern [00:45] "do they normally drift on indoors like this?" [00:47] * Snow_Blind (~kvirc@cpe-98-15-182-142.hvc.res.rr.com) has joined #FourCannonPnP [00:47] * Weathervane smiles relaxedly at the plants, shrugging as she starts to share the concern.

[00:54] * Weathervane furrows her brow at the odd feature, stepping closer to examine the feathers. "Hmm..." [00:55] The feathers are just scattered black feathers, laying on the ground. On closer examination... they are longer than the primaries of a pegasus. [00:55] * GreenHoof raises an eyebrow and trots over to the black feathers, tilting his head and leaning closer to it to study it. [00:55] * GoldenTouch (webchat@66-87-148-123.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #FourCannonPnP [00:56] "Griffons?" [00:56] * Al_Dente trots up to Weather and looks at the feathers, looking up at the ceiling and around near the corners. "Gryphons." [00:56] * GreenHoof picks his head up and looks at Weather's wing for a second, then back down at the feathers. "These are odd..." [00:56] * GreenHoof shivers. "Great. Griffons." [00:56] "But wait... let's not just assume here. We don't know for sure if it's Griffons. [00:56] " [00:57] * GoldenTouch looks at the feathers, color of them? [00:57] * Al_Dente shakes his head and looks at the others. [[they are black Golden]] "Whats your call?" [00:57] The feathers are jet black, with a few scattered ice blue ones and white ones [00:57] "Probably not... but it's good to get an idea of what we're up against, if these were just fallen. Might be just a large bird, or something we haven't seen yet..." [00:57] * Arc_Glow looks up from the rainbow pool [00:57] * Phoenix_Down picks up one of da feathers, looking at it clsely "huh..." [00:57] "what's this about feathers and gryphons?" [00:58] The feather feels very static, like when a balloon is rubbed. It crackles slightly in Phoe's hooves. [00:58] "hehe... this reminds me of a cartoon, where a bird explodes and loses its feathers" [00:59] "Think it's connected with whatever red thing flew near us earlier? But these aren't red..." [00:59] * GoldenTouch looks at the feather and then hears the static when he touches it "like a...Phoenix~" [00:59] * GoldenTouch winks at phoe [01:00] "I don't trust the electricity here, it doesn't act right" [01:00] "plssss" [01:00] "Eh, I don't think it's a big issue, not really gryphon like, phoe you mind if I hold on to it?" [01:01] "more than enough to go around mate* [01:01] * Al_Dente offers Weather his torch and looks to Hoof. "Im not too excited about our prospects." [01:01] * GoldenTouch wishes maybe let me know ooc after the comment [01:01] There are six feathers, three black, one steel grey, and two ice blue [01:02] [[ >Steel grey ]] [01:02] * GoldenTouch collects one of each then [01:02] * Weathervane looks up and around the room to the plants again to think to herself. "Might be a family of things... or it's something that just has lots of colors? Either way... seems like it might be connected to the lightning, in some way." She takes the torch into her hoof and keeps it close. [01:02] [[ inb4 edge ]] [01:02] [it said steel; not bithsmas] [01:03] * GoldenTouch looks at the collection of beautiful feathers, odd he never saw these durring his many trips to the residential district [01:04] * Al_Dente looks around and tries to get a clue [01:04] Dente roll d20 [01:04] *al finds a mask* [01:05] *its been a ruse all along, it's old man jenkins* [01:05] !roll d20 [01:05] 6 == 6 [01:05] * GoldenTouch will add these feathers to his conspiricy board [01:05] * Boris[Ronin] is now known as Boris[GoneForAMoment] [01:07] Dente steps in a puddle of rainbow accidentally, the substance feeling unpleasantly burning as it gets under his fur, like rubbing chilli juice on bare skin. [01:07] "woah, watch yourself" [01:08] * GreenHoof smirks at Al. "How does that make you feeeel?" [01:08] * Weathervane grins and gestures Al to back up a little. "Ah, ah! Careful..." [01:08] * Al_Dente nearly slips in the puddle and quickly steps out of it cringing as it burns under his hoof. "Fuckkkkkkk..... Call poision control~" Giggling slightly before looking at said hoof and shaking his head. "Fuck this shit, nearly just like back home. Bet this is cancer or something." [01:09] "Is there someone we can sue?" [01:10] * Dreamcatcher (~Dreamcatc@cpe-108-184-72-104.socal.res.rr.com) has left #FourCannonPnP (Leaving) [01:10] "Well it looks like we're going to have and cut it off...." [01:10] The very presense of open pools of Rainbow with no guard rails around them clearly show that OSHA does not exist in equestria. [01:11] * GreenHoof shakes his head. "Not even a guard rail. This is just another Shoah waiting to happen..." he says in a Jewish manner [01:11] "hoof pls" [01:12] "maybe we could put it in pressurized canisters and use it like pepper spray to fend off angry wildlife" [01:12] "shooting out rainbows at bears" [01:12] * Arc_Glow likes her idea [01:12] "Lets keep moving." [01:13] "I'd like to, but I don't know where I can keep moving" [01:13] "Hmm... yeah, this place already had sort of a hazard all over it. Even without the cloud-snakes, the factory probably wasn't the best place to be, heh." She shrugs. "Probably wasn't the reason why this place was abandoned, but it probably didn't make the desicion to leave difficult." [01:13] * GreenHoof nods and looks to Pheonix. "Where to, Commissioner?~" He says with a playful smirk [01:13] "uh, to" [01:13] Suddenly there is a pobbing bang in the corner of the room, the ponies snap their heads in time to see flames engulf one of the plants, burning it to a crisp quickly. [01:14] * GoldenTouch blinks "....wellllllll then...." [01:14] "what" .______. [01:14] * Weathervane quickly steps back away from the sudden combustion of the plant. "Oh, shoot!"

Getting close to Weather as the two now hold a pair of torches, lighthing a good sphere of illumination "Never better Golden, just like the good old days. Just kinda ached and all that, getting old for my age." Laughing before he cracks his back and looks to the others [01:22] "Now what? We need to stop the shoah."

Seeing it has lost the element of surprise, the creature moves, spreading its wings wide, streaks of electricity dancing across the feathers into whatever they touched, silhouetting the form against the darkness of its perch...
