Deagle's Kidnapping Thing

11:58	SpencerDespenser|GM	 There's a blindfold over your eyes and the smell of sewage is very strong, wherever you are.
12:06		Desert_Eagle wonders if he's tied up as well.
12:07	SpencerDespenser|GM	 You aren't. You're lying on cold, damp concrete with your limbs not tied up in any way, shape, or form.
12:07		Desert_Eagle yanks his blindfold off and stands up, looking around.
12:08	SpencerDespenser|GM	 You're in a filthy jail cell.
12:09	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Like, filthy. The matress is infested with lice, the floor is covered in slop, and the ceilin is leaking onto your face.
12:11		Desert_Eagle nearly pukes. "Well this's fuckin' great." He mutters. "Oi! Anypony 'round 'ere?" He calls out.
12:12	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The pained, barely comprehensible moans of the other prisoners are all you hear for a response. One frightened voice, a mare's, stands out, however. "Hello?"
12:13		Desert_Eagle 's ears perk up. "Howdy!"
12:14	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Hello? Who's there?"
12:16	Desert_Eagle	"Name's Desert Eagle miss."
12:17	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The voice squeaks a little. "Oh, thank Celestia! Somepony that can help me! My name is Daylight Herald, and I need your help! We're trapped in the Undercity, and we need to get out of here as soon as possible. Are you a unicorn?"
12:18	Desert_Eagle	"Nice t' meet yah Miss Herald, an' no, ah'm a pegasus."
12:19	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Well, that's a relief. That might buy you some time. Can you get out of your cell?"
12:19	Desert_Eagle	"Dunno, le's find out."
12:20		Desert_Eagle examines his cell door.
12:20	SpencerDespenser|GM	 It's locked. Duh.
12:21	Desert_Eagle	"Anypony got a bobby pin o' two?"
12:21	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "I'm afraid I don't. Check the rest of the cell."
12:21	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "And do hurry!"
12:22		Desert_Eagle does so, abliet reluctantly. He searches the cell for bobby pins.
12:23	SpencerDespenser|GM	 There's one in the toilet, at the bottom of some foul looking water, and one under the matress.
12:24		Desert_Eagle extracts them, grimacing. "Well, here goes."
12:24	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Your hoof smells bad now. You also have 2 bobby pins.
12:25		Desert_Eagle proceedes to try and unlock his cell door.
12:25	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Alrighty!
12:26		Desert_Eagle [is going to fail horribly]
12:27	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Deagle successfully picks the lock to his cell from the inside. The gate swings open.
12:27		Desert_Eagle grins. "Got it!"
12:28	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Wonderful! Now please, help me!"
12:28		Desert_Eagle trots out of the cell, looking around for Herald's cell.
12:29	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald's cell is right next to yours. Inside is a pretty looking pale blue unicorn in a white tunic. She has a golden laurel in her mane. "Please, help!"
12:30		Desert_Eagle nods, now attempting to unlock her cell.
12:31	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The gate swings open like the other one. The unicorn rushes from the cell and gives Desert Eagle a hug. "Celestia bless you, sir! Now, we need to get out of here, quickly!"
12:33		Desert_Eagle nods. "Of course. Yah know th' way out?"
12:34	SpencerDespenser|GM	 She shakes her head. There's only 2 directions to go in the cell block, each ending with a solid looking door.
12:37	Desert_Eagle	"Hmmm." He trots over to one of the doors.
12:38	SpencerDespenser|GM	 It's open.
12:38	SpencerDespenser|GM	 (( PER Check ))
12:39	SpencerDespenser|GM	 From this side of the door, you can hear several ponies conversing on the other side. Their raspy, ghoulish voices seem to be arguing about what to do with the "Princess".
12:40	Desert_Eagle	[I'm assuming he doesn't have his weapons, correct?]]
12:41	SpencerDespenser|GM	 (( Nope. ))
12:41	SpencerDespenser|GM	 (( Nope as in no weapons. Derp. ))
12:41	Desert_Eagle	[lol]
12:42		Desert_Eagle holds up a hoof. "Hang on." he mutters. He opens the door just enough so he can see into the room.
12:43	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The door squeaks loudly as it opens slightly. Inside are a pair of ghouls and a normal looking pony sitting around a card table. The non-ghoulified one turns and looks directly at Desert, but returns to his cards. The other two take no notice.
12:44	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "So, I think we should just kill her and send her back to 'em piece by piece.
12:44	SpencerDespenser|GM	 " one says*
12:46	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Nah, we should offer some ransome first. Then chop her up."
12:46	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald visibly tenses.
12:46		Desert_Eagle freezes, listening to the conversation. He glances back at Herald.
12:47	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "We should... leave..." she whispers.
12:48		Desert_Eagle nods, backing away from the door. "Agreed." He heads for the other door.
12:52	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The other door is unlocked as well. You can hear running water quite clearly through this one.
12:53		Desert_Eagle opens it slowly.
12:56	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Inside is a mazzive waterfall, pouring out of an equally massive drainage pipe. Dozens of ghouls trot around, pulling carts and wagons, mixing cement, and just general shambling. Herald eeps.
12:58	Desert_Eagle	"Hot damn."
12:59	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "What do we do now?" Herald asks nervously. She's shaking.
13:00		Desert_Eagle looks back at her. "Ah'm not so sure." He says, offering her a wing. "There's too many o' 'em t' simply sneak past, an' on top o
13:01	Desert_Eagle	[whoops]
13:01	Desert_Eagle	o' that, ah haven't th' slightest idea how t' get outta 'ere 'n th' firs' place."
13:02	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The ghouls probably could see you, but don't seem to pay much attention to you. Herald clings to your wing.
13:03	Desert_Eagle	"Hmm. ah've got an idea." He looks around for another door.
13:04	SpencerDespenser|GM	 There are plenty of doors coming off this room. Only one, however is marked "Exit".
13:06		Desert_Eagle looks down at Herald. "Stay close." he says, before trotting towards the door marked Exit.
13:06	SpencerDespenser|GM	 She sticks to you like glue.
13:08	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Nopony seems to take notice of you. They all seem too occupied with their tasks at hoof.
13:13		Desert_Eagle pushes open the exit door.
13:14	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Inside is a long dark tunnel. The ceiling lowers dramatically.
13:15		Desert_Eagle turns on his lamp and sets off down it, keeping an eye on his EFS
13:17	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Your Pipbuck light doesn't work. The tunnel is apparently so dark, that you can't illuminate anything past a few inches in front of your face.
13:20	SpencerDespenser|GM	 That's weird, isn't it?
13:21		Desert_Eagle stops. "Somethin' ain't right."
13:21	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "What is the matter?"
13:23	Desert_Eagle	"Muh light should be lightin' up a whole lot more than it's doin' right now."
13:24	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald's horn glows a bright blue, but does little to illuminate the passage. "Oh sweet Celestia... This is bad, this is very bad. Come on! We can go through it!"
13:26	Desert_Eagle	"Yah sure?"
13:26	SpencerDespenser|GM	 She nods. "Positive."
13:26	Desert_Eagle	"Alright, stay close then."
13:27		Desert_Eagle sets off once again, moving slowly.
13:27	SpencerDespenser|GM	 She does, staying right behind you. Other than a rather unpleasant smell, the air in the tunnel is just exceptionally dark, that's all.
13:32		Desert_Eagle keeps going.
13:34	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Eventually, the tunnel ends and, rather abruptly, light pours into the tunnel. You can see water, a lake, at the end of the pipe.
13:35		Desert_Eagle blinks. "Huh." He looks out over the lake, searching for a way out.
13:36	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald peeks out of the pipe and sighs. "Oh thank the Goddesses, we're out of there."
13:40		Desert_Eagle nods, stepping out of the pipe.
13:42	SpencerDespenser|GM	 There's a small drop to a concrete platform. There's a ladder going up to the top of the pier to the left.
13:44		Desert_Eagle simply flies up to the top, landing and waiting for Herald.
13:44	SpencerDespenser|GM	 She frowns a little, grumbling something about chivalry, but eventually climbs the ladder slowly.
13:45	SpencerDespenser|GM	 When you reach the top of the ladder, there are several armed ponies of Radiance's guard waiting for you, rifles raised. "Freeze!"
13:45	Desert_Eagle	"Ahh, shit."
13:46		Desert_Eagle raises his hooves in surrender.
13:46	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Get on the ground and hoof over the Princess!" Herald hasn't quite reached the top of the ladder.
13:47		Desert_Eagle raises an eyebrow. "Who now?"
13:48	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Princess Herald! Unhoof her now!"
13:49	Desert_Eagle	"An' why should ah do that?"
13:49	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Because, moron, we're here to return her to her home! Now where is she?"
13:51	Desert_Eagle	"Y'all don't look t' much like a rescue party, an' ah dunno where she's at anyway."
13:51	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald sticks a hoof over the pier, but slips and starts to fall backwards. "Mister Eagle!" she cries as she slips.
13:51	SpencerDespenser|GM	 (( Make AGI ))
13:53	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Unable to react quickly enough, you watch as the Princess slips and tumbles back towards the water.
13:53	Desert_Eagle	"No!"
13:54		Desert_Eagle dives after her anyway.
13:54	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "No!" The guards shout, dashing for the edge and taking flight.
13:54	SpencerDespenser|GM	 (( Make another AGI ))
13:54	SpencerDespenser|GM	 You swoop underneath and scoop up Herald in your hooves. She appears to have fainted.
13:56		Desert_Eagle holds her tight, pulling up away from the lake.
13:56	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The guards land and stretch out. "T-thank you, citizen."
13:59		Desert_Eagle hovers above them. "Yer welcome, now, how 'bout y'all tell me why Herald here is so damn important t' yah."
14:02	SpencerDespenser|GM	 One of the guards, the one with the most stars on his epaulettes, steps forward. "'Herald' is Princess Daylight Herald of the Celestial Senate, she's next in line to the throne of Autumn IV. Now unhoof now!"
14:02	SpencerDespenser|GM	 +her*
14:04		Desert_Eagle laughs. "The /what?/ Ah'm sorry, but ah've heard o' a lot o' shit 'n muh time out 'ere, but tha's jus' ridiculous."
14:05	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The captain levels his laser sighted rifle at your forehead. "You think I'm joking? Unhoof the Princess now!"
14:09		Desert_Eagle raises an eyebrow. "Yer really gonna shoot me now? Ah've got yer precious Princess, ah'n ah'm hoverin' above th' lake, think 'bout it bucko."
14:11	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "You'll put her down. Or you'll die. Now!"
14:12	Desert_Eagle	"Alright, if yah say so."
14:12	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Good."
14:12		Desert_Eagle drops Herald, letting her fall towards the lake.
14:14	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Son of a bitch!" The captain takes flight and, with a streak of white and red light trailing behind him, dives over the edge. The other two guards open fire.
14:19	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The guard fires once, catching Desert in the wing, close to the base.
14:21		Desert_Eagle cries out, tumbling down towards the water in an uncontrolled spiral after the captain and Herald, trying to recover.
14:22	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The captain has scooped up Herald and smiles as you plumet past. "Good riddance, you vermin."
14:22	Desert_Eagle	"Fuck you too!"
14:23	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald slowly opens an eye and looks around. "Captain Helix, where am I? Where is my knight in shining armor?" The captain looks confused.
14:25	Desert_Eagle	"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" *SPLASH!*
14:25	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "What?" the captain grumbles, setting her down on the Pier. She rushes to the edge and looks down at Desert Eagle. "Mister Eagle! Captain Helix! Save that stallion!"
14:26		Desert_Eagle surfaces, fighting to stay above the water. He wasn't a very good swimmer.
14:27	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Helix looks around for a moment and dives in. "Yes, M'lady!"
14:28	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The captain hoists Desert Eagle out of the water and drags him to the Pier, dropping him hard on the concrete. "There. Everypony gets one, citizen." He says "citizen" with a noticable amount of venom.
14:30		Desert_Eagle shakes himself off, making sure to get the most amount of water over the captain and the one who had shot him. He looks at the hole in his wing and grimaces. "Well fuck."
14:31	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald eeps and rushes to his side. "Oh! Mister Eagle! How did this happen?" She asks, looking at you with concern in her eyes. The Captain begins to turn around.
14:34		Desert_Eagle points a hoof at the one who shot him. "He shot me. Ah'm unarmed yah fucker!"
14:36	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald pats Desert on the chest. "Mister Eagle, I'll make sure your wounds are treated by my personal physician. You three!" she points to Helix and his guards, "Take me to the Senate building now!"
14:37		Desert_Eagle nods. "Thank yah Miss Herald."
14:37	SpencerDespenser|GM	 They nod and radio for a carriage.
14:39	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The carriage ride is pretty awkward. Captain Helix just glares at you while Herald just holds you.
14:40		Desert_Eagle remains silent, staring ahead.
14:42	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The carriage stops and, from the window, Desert can see a massive, gleaming domed building ahead. Unicorns dressed in garb similar to Herald's trot around, bowing as she walks past. "Welcome, Mister Eagle, to Prahv. The lawmaking heart of Pier 37. The Celestial Senate welcomes you."
14:45		Desert_Eagle nods. "Mother of Luna, this place's huge." He says, gazing around. Wearing dirty beat up Stable 199 Security barding made him stick out like a sore hoof. "Thank yah Miss Herald."
14:47	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "No trouble at all. Far Sight will be more than willing to help you. It's the least I can do to help after you saved me. We should do something about those clothes, though."
14:48		Desert_Eagle looks down at his barding. "What 'bout 'em?"
14:50	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "A knight of my court should dress like a knight of my court, after all." She smiles faintly and leads you into her study. There, two ponies, one in a tunic and one in a lab coat, await you.
14:51		Desert_Eagle follows, awestruck. "Howdy!" He says to the two ponies.
14:53	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Hello," the lab coated pony says. "You must be Knight Eagle. My name is Far Sight and... Oh my. We should get that looked at right away!"
14:55		Desert_Eagle glances over at his wing and nods. "Yeah, pro'lly."
14:57	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Far Sight leads you into a private room and asks you politely to strip your gear. "So, how does it feel?"
14:59		Desert_Eagle tugs his barding off and removes his Aviators. "Stings like 'o bitch."
15:00	SpencerDespenser|GM	 He nods and produces an aeresol can. He sprays it over your wing and a thick, dense foam comes out, coating the injury and hardening in seconds. "Here, let that set for a while."
15:03		Desert_Eagle winces. "Thanks Doc."
15:03	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "So, did Princess Herald tell you what Knighthood is like?"
15:04		Desert_Eagle shakes his head. "Ah reckon she didn't."
15:06	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Far Sight chuckles. "Well, that's probably for the best. I'm afraid your wing is going to be out of commission for a few days minimum." He stretchs your wing into a closed position.
15:08		Desert_Eagle groans. "Alright." He says reluctantly.
15:10	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Far Sight trots out for a moment, returning with a silver box in his magical grip. "Here. This is a gift from Princess Herald to the newest member of her court. Enjoy."
15:11		Desert_Eagle opens the box.
15:12	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Inside is a gleaming suit of combat armor, painted blue and white and embroidered with the symbol of the Celestial Senate. On top is a 10mm pistol in almost pristine condition.
15:16		Desert_Eagle eeps. "Dear Luna..." He pulls out the 10mm pistol, twirling it around. "Ammo?"
15:18	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Far Sight looks at your chart and waves a hoof. "Under the armor. Silly thing, weapons. And, another thing. It's not very courteous to mention /her/ name in Prahv. Just so you should know."
15:19		Desert_Eagle nods. "Sorry, ah'm from Seaddle, jus' sorta used t' it." He says, pulling the armor and ammo out.
15:23	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Far Sight nods. "No trouble."
15:24		SpencerDespenser|GM shrugs. Later. "Mister Eagle, how did you arrive at the Pier?"
15:25	Desert_Eagle	[who's asking?]]
15:25	SpencerDespenser|GM	 (( Far Sight ))
15:29		Desert_Eagle pulls on the armor, strapping his leg holster on and dropping the pistol into it, and slipping his Aviators on. "Well, ah was actually with a group o' other ponies. We were sent t' collect a debt somepony owed Deuces, an' then th' payment got stolen after we managed t' collect it, an' then ah woke up t' find muhself inna jail cell."
15:29	Desert_Eagle	"Tha's th' short version o' it at least."
15:29	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Oh my. That sounds awful. Did you say 'Deuces'?"
15:30		Desert_Eagle nods. "Indeed."
15:32	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Far Sight thinks. "Well, nevermind. You're all set with me. I wish you a speedy recovery. Celestia bless you." He exits.
15:38		Desert_Eagle nods. "You too Doc." He says. Desert looks around, before heading back to where Herald was.
15:39	SpencerDespenser|GM	 The Princess was waiting in her study, with a sword floating by your side. "Now, my Knight, bow before me, please." She says, smiling softly.
15:39		Desert_Eagle bows before her.
15:41	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald rests the sword on your shoulder, then the other. "Ut sol benedicat tibi." She smiles.
15:44	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald nods. "Rise, my knight."
15:46		Desert_Eagle rises, grinning. "Thank yah, m'lady." He says.
15:47	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "So, what will you do now? I do not require your services at the moment."
15:48	Desert_Eagle	"Well, ah should pro'lly try an' find muh companions. Ah'm guessin' that at least one o' 'em's wonderin' where I'd gone."
15:49	SpencerDespenser|GM	 Herald nods. "Certainly. You are dismissed."
15:50		Desert_Eagle bows to her. "Thank yah once again Miss Herald." he says, smiling. He trots towards the door.
15:51	SpencerDespenser|GM	 "Goodbye."
