  1. [2015-01-03 21:19:15]<SpiritOfFate> Group 0-II: *Freedom's Price* - Session #026 starts now
  2. [2015-01-03 21:19:16]<SpiritOfFate> =======================================================
  3. [2015-01-03 21:21:00]<SpiritOfFate> Freedom Mound had gone through a rough night, marked by a blast that left the clinic as a ruined half-building in risk of colapsing.
  4. [2015-01-03 21:24:29]<SpiritOfFate> Fortunately, the infiltrators were both carried. The griffin, possibly from Silver Anchor, now were trapped in one of the welded cages that made for the Mudpony's makeshift prison. The griffiness was now awake, recovering from Sotho's attack, Chroma's malpractice and subsequent attempt to undo it out of guilt.
  5. [2015-01-03 21:25:28]<SpiritOfFate> The good work of the Freedom Mound defenders managed to disarm all the explosives they could find, and now they had the both triggers for them.
  6. [2015-01-03 21:31:58]<SpiritOfFate> Jamal watched both captives with interest, ignoring the loud fillies on another nearby cage.
  7. [2015-01-03 21:32:24]<SpiritOfFate> Rumors appear but the truth behind this event might still be uncertain
  8. [2015-01-03 21:36:11]<SpiritOfFate> The merchant donkey brothers and the landfill workers still take shelter behind the walls of the salvage yard, which reflects the orange light of a new dawn.
  9. [2015-01-03 21:38:36]* Firefly (chatzilla@Pony-kjb7qq.res.rr.com) has joined
  10. [2015-01-03 21:40:43]* Royal_Lace Yawns as she trots towards the makeshift prison, It had been a long night of settling things with her guests and talking with her wife. Still she had managed *some* rest before leaving for the day. She had questions that needed answering.
  11. [2015-01-03 21:42:11]* Swiss_Provolone waits at the prison for his boss, glaring daggers at the two griffons
  12. [2015-01-03 21:42:42]* Firefly is up early and goes for a flight, seeing if she can spot anything unusual as she flies above the landfill and small town.
  13. [2015-01-03 21:44:48]* Royal_Lace nods politely to Swiss as she nears the prison, dusting off her buisness suit and adjusting her sidearm with a bit of magic. "Good morning Swiss, hope you managed some bit of rest after last night". She looks around the area to see who ells was here to watch the captives.
  14. [2015-01-03 21:46:40]* Ignis was already up into the day, setting his stuff and all for a quest...he wouldn't let Chroma down, for the love of it...the dragon treads around the city, deciding to pay the Blackfeather outpost a visit and checking if any brave soul might be wishing to accompany himself. As he walks towards there, for some reason, thoughts of hiring a PR crosses the dragon's head.
  15. [2015-01-03 21:47:31]* Swiss_Provolone shrugs, "Not much, but I don't usually sleep well anyhow." he replies, walking over to meet Royal_Lace, "I hope you can get some names out of these two, last night won't go unpunished."
  16. [2015-01-03 21:48:48]<SpiritOfFate> The settlement is still very quiet after tonight's commotion. Firefly doesn't see many ponies on the street, before she flies into a low cloud.
  17. [2015-01-03 21:50:06]* Royal_Lace straightens her mane, "Well we will see, I can try my best. Anything happen with them last night?"
  18. [2015-01-03 21:51:28]* Swiss_Provolone shakes his head, "Nope. They decided to clam up, they're either more scared or loyal to their boss than us."
  19. [2015-01-03 21:51:45]<Full_Physical> "A quest? What do you mean 'quest?'" FP asks Ignis
  20. [2015-01-03 21:51:58]* Firefly smacks into the low cloud, bouncing off of it and falling a bit before she recovers. "Stupid cloud... made me look bad..." She shakes her head and starts flying over the settlement.
  21. [2015-01-03 21:52:31]<SpiritOfFate> The griffinness is awake, though the male griffon still seems to sleep over a mat inside the cage. Two mudponies guard the cells, but other than them, Jamal and the two unicorns, nopony else is nearby
  22. [2015-01-03 21:54:39]<SpiritOfFate> "They have been silent since last night." Jamal says. "So, what is the plan?"
  23. [2015-01-03 21:54:39]* Royal_Lace nods to Swiss and then moves to Jamal, "Good morning Jamal, any luck looking into how they came about the uniforms or the fate of your missing wingmates?"
  24. [2015-01-03 21:54:49]<Royal_Lace> *Redact
  25. [2015-01-03 21:55:56]* Royal_Lace nods to Swiss and looks to Jamal, "Right now my only plan is to have a word with our guests and see what I can learn, then go from there. If that is still arlight with you"
  26. [2015-01-03 21:57:57]<SpiritOfFate> "Go ahead. I want to know what they have to say for themselves." Jamal says
  27. [2015-01-03 21:58:37]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Get everything you can, let me know when you want to stop playing nice." he replies
  28. [2015-01-03 22:02:40]* Royal_Lace looks to the cage and responds to Swiss in a low tone, "Lets hope it dosent come to that...". Troting towards the cell she steps closer to the wake Griffon, clearing her throught she begins in the griffon language " *Good Morning, I hope your accomidations allowed for some measure of rest. From what I saw last night during your capture you greatly need it * "
  29. [2015-01-03 22:04:31]<SpiritOfFate> The small Blackfeather HQ is busy. Even though they aren't many, there is constant movement of griffin coming and going out of it.
  30. [2015-01-03 22:07:14]* Ignis attempts to mostly stay out of the way, which is always no easy feat when you're a dragon. He moves along to whoever seemed to be in charge in Jamal's absence, coughing politely and directing his eyes at the main bird. *Ahem* "Hello there, I have a bit of business to discuss."
  31. [2015-01-03 22:08:03]<Full_Physical> after being ignored, Full Physical just wants to hang out with Ignis more, so he follows him to the HQ.
  32. [2015-01-03 22:09:12]<SpiritOfFate> The griffiness raises an eyebrow. She stays silent for a moment but seems to understand Royal_Lace.
  33. [2015-01-03 22:11:47]<SpiritOfFate> A yellow and blue griffiness turns to Ignis, she who had been discussing with another merc who just left. "Yes?"
  34. [2015-01-03 22:12:59]* Royal_Lace Pauses, " *I appologise if the use of this paticular diolect is inapropriate, I am only a novice myself but thought this interview would offer an exelent chance to practice* ", Smiling she has a seat outside the cage, " *You see I have a paticular... weakness shall we say for learning things, I just love it. Perhapse I may even learn a few things for you, such as your name perhapse?* "
  35. [2015-01-03 22:13:15]* Ignis observes her for a moment before beginning. "I need to contract someone for aid, scout and raid mission." He merely said.
  36. [2015-01-03 22:16:15]<Full_Physical> "Oh, so it's *that* kind of quest." FP says to Ignis.
  37. [2015-01-03 22:17:42]* Ignis turns to Full_Physical, a bit surprised. "Oh, you're there...didn't saw you before I entered the fowl p...the building."
  38. [2015-01-03 22:18:55]<Full_Physical> "Yes, this base is very charming."
  39. [2015-01-03 22:19:14]<Royal_Lace> *things FROM you
  40. [2015-01-03 22:19:52]<SpiritOfFate> «The name is Jennifer, and don't patronize me.» The captive griffiness says in griffon.
  41. [2015-01-03 22:20:56]* Swiss_Provolone walks over to Jamal for the moment, "Any sign of your missing mercs Jamal?" Swiss asks the griffon
  42. [2015-01-03 22:21:40]* Royal_Lace pows her head respectfully, << Well Jennifer I appologise if I offended you, its unfortunate but I do find sometimes that my attempts at plesantry are not well received. Maybe we should start over? Hello, my name is Royal Lace, Im here to ask you a few questions"
  43. [2015-01-03 22:21:44]* Ignis taps his feet a bit. "Indeed it is...so, I was after help to go on find more medicine on the wastes, since... you know, urgent matter and the continued existence of the city depends of having healthy people around...you know, no biggie..." He said, weaving his snout a bit. "Any news about the locked chick?"
  44. [2015-01-03 22:25:55]<SpiritOfFate> "Ahem." The Blackfeather griffiness clears her throat audibly. "So I see. We have a tight schedule right now. Two of our own are still missing."
  45. [2015-01-03 22:26:17]<Full_Physical> "No, I haven't heard anything."
  46. [2015-01-03 22:28:00]<SpiritOfFate> Jamal frowns. "Not yet. But one of their lockers was opened by their own key and stripped out of everything. Not a good sign."
  47. [2015-01-03 22:28:42]<SpiritOfFate> «Why should I answer?» Jennifer asks.
  48. [2015-01-03 22:29:04]* Ignis raises an eyebrow. "They turned out missing during a mission or something? If that's it, we might take the job and do two things at once...could I have some more details, please?" He asks her, clearly interested.
  49. [2015-01-03 22:29:19]* Swiss_Provolone returns the frown, "Did they have anything that could back to bite us? Codes, keys, things like that." he asks, returning the frown at the news
  50. [2015-01-03 22:32:13]* Royal_Lace lifts a hoof as she indicates the town behind her. <<Last night you attmepted to set and prusumably detonate a series of dangerous explosives, as it stands few are hurt but we are down our clinic. These are serious crimes to be sure, I only wish to understand why they were perpatrated. If I could find these answers peacfully all the better, the lat thing the land needs is more violence.>>
  51. [2015-01-03 22:32:29]<Royal_Lace> *last thing
  52. [2015-01-03 22:33:26]<SpiritOfFate> The Blackfeather seems to like this initiative. "The invaders were wearing our armors. Everything indicates they took them from two of our own who weren't found yet. One of them was supposed to be on break, the other was patrolling the southern barricades."
  53. [2015-01-03 22:37:05]<SpiritOfFate> "No, not that one. Only his loadout and personal possessions." Jamal says
  54. [2015-01-03 22:38:10]<SpiritOfFate> «I know why you would want me to answer your questions, but why would I answer?» The captive says to Royal_Lace.
  55. [2015-01-03 22:38:12]* Swiss_Provolone asks cautiously, "Is there any chance they defected?"
  56. [2015-01-03 22:39:01]<Full_Physical> "I see, our prisoner might be able to tell us what they did with your people, but do you have any other leads?"
  57. [2015-01-03 22:39:59]* Ignis nodnods. "Oh, you mean those...we've dealt with the invaders, and I might have a suspicion of why they done it...but further investigating won't hurt, still..." The dragon leans on the words. "Looking for meds is definately important, if we're weakened, we're easy prey..." He stares at Physical. "Might as well investigate the southern barricade if we wish to pry further..."
  58. [2015-01-03 22:42:16]* Full_Physical shrugs
  59. [2015-01-03 22:42:26]* Royal_Lace sighs, lifting a hoof she brushes a bit of mane from her face as she visibly collects herself. <<If you are familure enough with our town then you must know of its recent history, and if you are from the silver anchor company as the merchants you lead into town belive you know well who I am-"
  60. [2015-01-03 22:42:39]<SpiritOfFate> "It's not impossible, that would be ugly." Jamal grimaces. "But if they had a mole, why would they need to come from outside?"
  61. [2015-01-03 22:44:08]* Royal_Lace <<Over a year ago I escaped and lead a team back past what some would call a insurpassable defense, allowed intrance to a force consisiting of those who were once eneimies to libirate the area. I did all these things and I did them with nothing but rags and I did it with MINIMUM colatoeral damange or death!<<
  62. [2015-01-03 22:45:25]* Royal_Lace >>Today I have a lab, I have more friends than I may desivrve, and I have a TARTURUS off a lot more to defend than I did before. Your assualt was Clumsy, unfropfessional, and to my knowledge uprovoked. if you Attest to having some some reason beyond Pure monitary gain you better tell me what it is, or ells I will ahve to root it out<<
  63. [2015-01-03 22:46:22]* Royal_Lace >>and you wont like what I do next to defend the small pocket of peace I have carved out here, I swear that to you. I seek out peace above all ellse, but I will invite ruin upon you or any that stand between me and will not yeaild<<
  64. [2015-01-03 22:47:12]* Ignis nods toward the giffoness. "Thank you, we'll have a look into it." He said, then left the outpost in order to go to the southern barrier...he wondered if the interplorers would be as cold-blooded to murder their own griffonkin...having in mind that they had no qualms at carpet bombing the whole settlement, the answer was likely to be yes.
  65. [2015-01-03 22:47:35]<Full_Physical> "All right, can we get the names of your missing friends?" FP asks the Griffon
  66. [2015-01-03 22:47:55]* Swiss_Provolone shrugs, "Could be inexperience with explosives, though if they wanted to damage us they could've done worse." he glances over at Royal_Lace, understanding none of her conversation, "Hope she can get everything out of those two."
  67. [2015-01-03 22:51:54]<SpiritOfFate> "The one on the walls was Giana, and the one who was meant to be on breaks was Julio. We found a spot with blood but there is no trail." The Blackfeather says to Full_Physical
  68. [2015-01-03 22:52:45]<Full_Physical> "All right, thanks. We'll check it out." Fizz says before leaving with Ignis.
  69. [2015-01-03 22:53:29]* Firefly continues to fly around, looking for potential trouble. And to avoid the boring adult talk.
  70. [2015-01-03 23:06:59]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer leans back from the intensity of Royal_Lace's words. «It's true. It's impressive that you were capable of so much. But for many it makes you a threat, and a target. I had my reasons to participate on this.» Royal_Lace notices her glancing unintentionally at Jamal before meeting her eyes again. «But either way, my failure means I am marked for death. If not by yours, by the same ones who wanted to covertly attack this place.»
  71. [2015-01-03 23:08:00]<SpiritOfFate> Firefly spots a moving box shaking in the middle of a street
  72. [2015-01-03 23:08:24]<SpiritOfFate> Firefly also spots Ignis and Full_Physical heading to the southern barricades
  73. [2015-01-03 23:10:42]* Royal_Lace nods in understanding, <<Then It would seem to me the better solution than silence is to help those who are now apposed to those who you previously alined yourself with that now wish you dead. Unless of course this runs contrary to your motivations? I only want to understand so I can HELP. Not just you but everybeing. I have and will continue to do everything in my power and beyond to presurve peace>>
  74. [2015-01-03 23:12:05]* Firefly cants her head and heads for the box in the street. "Hello?"
  75. [2015-01-03 23:14:55]<SpiritOfFate> Soon Ignis find the southern barricade, made out of rusted cart hulls and scrap. There is a griffon flying around the area, where a patch of cracked asphalt is marked by dried blood. The street keeps going through the barricade and to the unsafe areas
  76. [2015-01-03 23:15:47]<SpiritOfFate> The box stops moving suddenly.
  77. [2015-01-03 23:17:20]* Ignis decides to check the area all the same, for traces and all...he is markedly attracted to the asphalt marking...nevermind the blood, that was FP's area, what interested him was how it was cracked like that, on a small area...it looked like a meelee weapon did that, possibly.
  78. [2015-01-03 23:21:52]* Full_Physical inspects the area around the barricade for the blood
  79. [2015-01-03 23:23:10]<SpiritOfFate> «Because you killed Marian. I have no interest in assisting you.» The captive says with cold hatred.
  80. [2015-01-03 23:23:57]* Firefly lands next to the box and knocks on it. "Can I come in?"
  81. [2015-01-03 23:25:20]<SpiritOfFate> Jamal turns toward Royal Lace and Jennifer, frowning. "Marian, is it. I should have known."
  82. [2015-01-03 23:27:12]* Royal_Lace blinks and turns to Jamal for clarification, "Marian?"
  83. [2015-01-03 23:28:20]<SpiritOfFate> "She was with my group when you first captured us. She didn't make it." Jamal says sorrowfully
  84. [2015-01-03 23:30:02]<SpiritOfFate> The box lifts a bit and Doll's voice comes from it. "Oh, it's you. Come in. It's dangerous outside." She seems to be trying to move a sewer entrance on the street, but it is rusted shut.
  85. [2015-01-03 23:30:08]* Royal_Lace sighs as she shakes her head, "I see... that whole affair was unfortunate. It was the least we could do to allow her a proper burrial, but I wish I could have done more to stop the bloodshed"
  86. [2015-01-03 23:30:51]* Firefly trots inside. "You know that's rusted shut? And aren't the sewers kind of dangerous?"
  87. [2015-01-03 23:31:45]* Swiss_Provolone raises an eyebrow, "I take it this was back when you lot were recently escaped?" he asks Royal_Lace
  88. [2015-01-03 23:33:54]<SpiritOfFate> Ignis notices the weakened aged asphalt is particularly cracked around where the blood pool is. There are also some bits of asphalt loose a few hooves from it, towards the barricade, where, Full_Physical finds a single drop of dried blood, marked as if it came from above.
  89. [2015-01-03 23:34:00]* Royal_Lace shakes head, "Just before we returned after helping the N'noto... Jamal and his wing of Steel Anchor mercenaries were moving to make contact with the tribe. It was imperitive that we stop the landfill from learning of our befrinding of the zebras, so we... stoped them. I did as much as I could to end the fight, but the rest of us were... overzelous"
  90. [2015-01-03 23:34:40]* Royal_Lace looks back the cage, "So you are with Silver Anchor, or were before at least"
  91. [2015-01-03 23:35:29]* Full_Physical sniffs the spot. "Yep, that's blood all right."
  92. [2015-01-03 23:35:54]<SpiritOfFate> "Yeah." Doll says. "But others don't like it there. If you don't stay still too much you can be safe.."
  93. [2015-01-03 23:37:34]* Ignis hmmms. "I can't figure out what the fuck it is...the pattern is mostly consistent with a large, fucking blunt weapon...but the blood...there shouldn't be any if that was the case..." The dragon gives a nod. "Maybe a combination of a sommerasault and winged blades or talons?" He trots over to investigate the other portion where it was cracked, maybe there was a trail or something, hopefully...
  94. [2015-01-03 23:38:53]* Firefly shrugs. "Its not so bad up here. Want to come to my house? My parents will be happy I made a friend... they keep going on about being /normal/..."
  95. [2015-01-03 23:40:24]<SpiritOfFate> Jamal shakes his head at Jennifer. "This is part of a merc's life. You fight, you get paid, or you die. Grudges just kill you faster."
  96. [2015-01-03 23:41:41]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer glares at Jamal. "You filthy turncoat..."
  97. [2015-01-03 23:41:57]<Full_Physical> "I don't know about that, any blunt weapon large enough to break the pavement is bound to leave a few compound fractures." Full Physical says to Ignis
  98. [2015-01-03 23:43:20]<SpiritOfFate> The other portion just seems to be bits of the cracked asphalt that got dragged from their original place.
  99. [2015-01-03 23:44:05]<Ignis> "But the blood spatter would be a bit larger...and there's even some rebounded collateral here..." the dragon shakes his head. "No fucking idea what they were doing..."
  100. [2015-01-03 23:44:37]* Swiss_Provolone nickers, "Grudges can also push you to take action. But if revenge is all you think about, then you'll be in trouble in no time."
  101. [2015-01-03 23:45:28]<SpiritOfFate> "I was with Silver Anchor, but this is not something they approved." Jennifer says.
  102. [2015-01-03 23:46:29]* Royal_Lace looks to jennifer, "Had we not acted when we did then the attack would have been alterted to the Landfill before it began, Our strike on the security would not have succesdded and more would have died. Ponies, Zebra, Dokies, and even more Griffin. It was unofrunate but saved lives",
  103. [2015-01-03 23:47:31]<Full_Physical> "Unless a hell hound ambushed them while walking on his hands, I've got nothing."
  104. [2015-01-03 23:47:51]* Royal_Lace makes note of that, "Then you are acting for another party... The hounds would have done there own dirty work, The donkeys you came with knew nothing of this as far as I know so I doubt there or there towns involvment... who ells would prosper from our destruction?"
  105. [2015-01-03 23:49:43]<SpiritOfFate> "Are they dangerous?" Doll asks Firefly.
  106. [2015-01-03 23:51:40]<SpiritOfFate> The blackfeather hovers closer to Ignis and Full_Physical. "She must be dead from this, whatever it was, but the body... isn't anywhere."
  107. [2015-01-03 23:52:05]<Ignis> "How the heck do a hellhound ambush anyone?" The dragon asks...then it dawns on him...he moves the cracked bit of pavement aside, maybe there was a hole...here as well? Was the whole freaking world the doggies' sandbox?
  108. [2015-01-03 23:53:56]<Firefly> "My parents? Uh... they can be? They both are really good at fighting. But they are really nice! Promise!" Firefly nods. "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a cup cake in my eye." The filly pinkie promises, going through the motions and everything.
  109. [2015-01-03 23:54:54]<SpiritOfFate> Doll cringes. "Hope to die?!"
  110. [2015-01-03 23:56:16]* Firefly blinks in surprise. "...its a Pinkie Promise. You never heard one before?"
  111. [2015-01-03 23:56:17]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer snerks. "As far as it goes, plenty of donkeys think you are like if their toaster started rebelling and wanted to take over the house."
  112. [2015-01-03 23:58:13]<SpiritOfFate> "Uh no. Are they dangerous?" Doll asks
  113. [2015-01-04 00:00:32]* Royal_Lace "I still doubt there involvment, at least as a hole, If that is true then I doubt they would sink the capital into this project. Especially with a deal in the works.... I seem to recal mentioning of a Stable and gouls last night? Jamal what do you know of them?"
  114. [2015-01-04 00:02:05]<Full_Physical> "I don't know, they could have burrowed in or something."
  115. [2015-01-04 00:02:31]* Firefly nods. "Only if you try to hurt them. Otherwise they are really nice. Miss Lace rebuilt my mom's wing!" The filly nods. "They won't hurt you. Promise."
  116. [2015-01-04 00:04:05]<SpiritOfFate> "O-okay." Doll follows Firefly, still somewhat wary but keeping close to her
  117. [2015-01-04 00:04:20]<Ignis> "They can track schmoes by their scent and noise, even while underground..." He said, digging where the blood was. "And they are sly bastards..."
  118. [2015-01-04 00:04:43]* Firefly walks back toward her house. "So... what have you been up to?"
  119. [2015-01-04 00:05:47]<SpiritOfFate> Jamal shrugs. "Not enough. They keep to themselves in the irradiated area. I don't know what they would want with us."
  120. [2015-01-04 00:07:52]* Royal_Lace looks to swiss then back to Jennifer, "Them maybe its time we learn more"
  121. [2015-01-04 00:07:54]<SpiritOfFate> Ignis finds a hole under a larger chunk of asphalt, but not a hole in dirt, rather a semi-collapsed sewer tunnel. It is covered in moss.
  122. [2015-01-04 00:08:39]* Ignis whistles over to Physical. "Didn't Lace mentioned something about the dogs using the sewer networks during one of her snorefests?"
  123. [2015-01-04 00:09:57]<Full_Physical> "I think I remember her saying something about exploring them that time she came back with Doll."
  124. [2015-01-04 00:11:36]<Ignis> "Well, might as well take the job into ourselves..." He said, lifting the chunk aside and exposing the rabbit's hole. "Yo, griff..." He said to the blackfeather nearby. "We're going down after the missing ones, you game?"
  125. [2015-01-04 00:12:49]<SpiritOfFate> "Count me in. I was supposed to be doing that anyway." The blackfeather says
  126. [2015-01-04 00:13:50]* Ignis tilts his head at him. "Say...for how long have you been under blackfeather's wings? Just askin'...you seem a bit green."
  127. [2015-01-04 00:15:18]* Full_Physical starts digging
  128. [2015-01-04 00:16:18]<SpiritOfFate> "Me? Like six months. Why?" The blackfeather says.
  129. [2015-01-04 00:16:56]<Ignis> "Nothing, what's your name dude?"
