(8:51:08 PM) Commander_Shepard: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/51641909/Greendale%20Ponytown.png this is the town btw
(8:51:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: amazing i know
(8:51:24 PM) Pristine_Page: FtFW will be my level 2 utility
(8:51:37 PM) Inferno1114: wow
(8:51:42 PM) Inferno1114: that map looks amazing
(8:51:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: i know its not to scale
(8:51:50 PM) Inferno1114: your artistic skills are incredible
(8:51:57 PM) Commander_Shepard: and there isnt a legend and key
(8:52:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: but other than that
(8:52:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: i used my magic point irl and got a cutie mark critical
(8:52:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: well
(8:52:52 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf should be along shortly i think
(8:52:55 PM) Pristine_Page: game should be starting soon
(8:52:59 PM) ***Pristine_Page bouncing in his seat
(8:53:01 PM) Commander_Shepard: if you guys want to work out a combat order
(8:53:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: as white ra would say, special tactics
(8:53:11 PM) Inferno1114: we roll for initiative, dont we?
(8:53:16 PM) Commander_Shepard: ah
(8:53:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: i meant
(8:53:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: who stands next to each other
(8:53:25 PM) Pristine_Page: COmbat plans
(8:53:26 PM) Inferno1114: strategise?
(8:53:28 PM) Commander_Shepard: and how you plan to fight
(8:53:32 PM) Inferno1114: oh, that doesnt matter
(8:53:35 PM) XandZero2: I just made a map in word for my P-Files quest, so I know how hard it is to make a digital copy of something
(8:53:38 PM) Inferno1114: its initiative for combat order
(8:53:39 PM) XandZero2: I'm actually impressed
(8:53:45 PM) Pristine_Page: Prisine has 2 strategies.
(8:54:10 PM) Inferno1114: its not like final fantasy 4 combat, more like final fantasy 1
(8:54:19 PM) Commander_Shepard: I usually use maptools to make maps
(8:54:21 PM) Pristine_Page: 1- If he thinks he's gonna bucking die, Gather Energy, Psychic Anomoly, and Fire giant
(8:54:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: v0v0v0v0v
(8:54:49 PM) XandZero2: I have a different combat set for if I'm fighting a horde or a smaller, tougher group
(8:54:55 PM) Inferno1114: yu realize, if you go unconcious, your giant disappears if he doesnt make a save end throw
(8:55:02 PM) XandZero2: I also have a defensive ability if you guys need a meat shield
(8:55:03 PM) Inferno1114: and when he disappears it doesnt count as destroyed
(8:55:34 PM) Pristine_Page: That's why I'd have Draw Blood  and Second Sunrise
(8:55:43 PM) XandZero2: Would you be best off always gathering up energy and then using the Fire Giant?
(8:55:45 PM) Pristine_Page: 2- Syphon Life, Draw Blood, Wild Lightning, Second Sunrise, Fireball.
(8:55:54 PM) Inferno1114: but how wuld you use secodn sunrise if you are stunned?
(8:56:00 PM) Pristine_Page: Save from sun
(8:56:02 PM) Pristine_Page: *stun
(8:56:09 PM) Inferno1114: you need to first
(8:56:16 PM) Pristine_Page: That stun doesn't mean "Can't fight ever again".
(8:56:31 PM) Pristine_Page: Yeah, I'd hopefully survife until I save that stun then work on healing
(8:56:32 PM) Inferno1114: it means you skip your turn until you make yoru save end throw
(8:56:33 PM) Commander_Shepard: this is so meta
(8:56:38 PM) Pristine_Page: so?
(8:56:47 PM) Pristine_Page: That's what I want to do Inferno
(8:56:51 PM) Inferno1114: which happens at the end of your turn, so you lose 1 turn instantly froma  stun
(8:56:58 PM) Pristine_Page: I know.
(8:56:59 PM) XandZero2: I'm honestly not following this conversation much at all
(8:57:00 PM) Inferno1114: ok
(8:57:01 PM) Pristine_Page: *Annoyed
(8:57:04 PM) XandZero2: I deal damage
(8:57:09 PM) Inferno1114: so do I
(8:57:12 PM) XandZero2: I buff myself to do more
(8:57:16 PM) Inferno1114: I'm kind of an AOE mage
(8:57:17 PM) XandZero2: And I have interrupts
(8:57:18 PM) Pristine_Page: I actually plan :P
(8:57:19 PM) XandZero2: (;
(8:57:23 PM) Pristine_Page: multiple plans
(8:57:26 PM) Commander_Shepard: alicornpriest will be joining us next week btw
(8:57:31 PM) Pristine_Page: I know
(8:57:41 PM) XandZero2: So, what do we need in combat?
(8:57:48 PM) Inferno1114: though I wish Storm Cloud didnt take Thunder storm
(8:57:48 PM) XandZero2: Do we need a meat shield?
(8:58:07 PM) Inferno1114: it can be useful
(8:58:10 PM) Inferno1114: we have no tanks yet
(8:58:15 PM) Pristine_Page: That's my fire Giant I think
(8:58:23 PM) XandZero2: I can play sort of tanky
(8:58:28 PM) Pristine_Page: And I'll heal ya
(8:58:38 PM) XandZero2: I've got Defender and Against the Odds
(8:58:38 PM) Pristine_Page: When not summoning Fire Giant
(8:58:46 PM) Pristine_Page: THAT is why that's not my total plan
(8:58:49 PM) XandZero2: Also got the Stunning Fist
(8:58:51 PM) Pristine_Page: So I can heal as a backup.
(8:59:15 PM) XandZero2: Yeah, I remember looking over your sheet
(8:59:21 PM) XandZero2: Aren't you a dedicated healer PP?
(8:59:46 PM) Pristine_Page: No... I changed that up because it wasn't how I wanted to play. It makes sense RP wise, but.....
(9:00:05 PM) XandZero2: So, what are you like now?
(9:00:31 PM) XandZero2: This game promotes going against the standard RP grain, I'm just wondering what everyone's working with
(9:00:33 PM) Pristine_Page: Either a conjurer, or a mild healer/damage dealer.
(9:00:48 PM) XandZero2: So you summon a lot of constructs?
(9:00:57 PM) Inferno1114: well just open everyoen Characte rSheets like I did
(9:00:57 PM) XandZero2: Or whatever they're officially called
(9:01:04 PM) Inferno1114: he only has his giant
(9:01:07 PM) Inferno1114: no other constructs
(9:01:09 PM) Pristine_Page: No, but that's my primary plan when scared shitless
(9:01:18 PM) XandZero2: Okay
(9:01:24 PM) Pristine_Page: Fire Giant and bring him back when he's dead
(9:01:35 PM) XandZero2: Can you summon multiple FGs?
(9:01:41 PM) Inferno1114: technically, yes
(9:01:45 PM) Commander_Shepard: we will give snaitf a few minutes to show up, then get started
(9:01:47 PM) Pristine_Page: Yeah.
(9:01:50 PM) XandZero2: That would be crazy
(9:01:56 PM) XandZero2: Okay
(9:01:57 PM) Inferno1114: but building 18 pips is difficult
(9:02:03 PM) XandZero2: Yeah, I imagine so
(9:02:16 PM) Pristine_Page: Gather energy draw blood draw blood (7 pips right there)
(9:02:21 PM) XandZero2: But they do have the one 0 ability that allows an ally to use your pips
(9:02:32 PM) Inferno1114: yes
(9:02:40 PM) XandZero2: That could make it possible
(9:02:41 PM) Pristine_Page: Do that 3 times, and summon 2 fire giants
(9:02:54 PM) Pristine_Page: Or Zero's thing
(9:03:24 PM) XandZero2: If the entire party focused on getting that 0 ability or Fire Giants, it could be a funny combination
(9:03:36 PM) XandZero2: Zero's thing?
(9:03:47 PM) XandZero2: Oh, the 0 ability?
(9:03:48 PM) Pristine_Page: What you said
(9:03:49 PM) Pristine_Page: yeah
(9:03:53 PM) XandZero2: Gotcha
(9:03:54 PM) Inferno1114: unless the enemy gets a mind controla ttack and steals it
(9:04:02 PM) Pristine_Page: Fire Giant is ONLY for emergencies.
(9:04:05 PM) XandZero2: That would be a bummer
(9:04:19 PM) XandZero2: Boss-type emergencies
(9:04:33 PM) XandZero2: But they could be good for nuking minions too
(9:04:37 PM) XandZero2: Now that I think of it
(9:05:27 PM) Pristine_Page: Well he's my Conjuration :P
(9:05:50 PM) XandZero2: Yep
(9:05:59 PM) XandZero2: Doesn't Inferno have him too though?
(9:06:04 PM) Inferno1114: yup
(9:06:26 PM) XandZero2: Yeah, so we could sick a bunch of these on the enemies if we had to
(9:06:39 PM) Inferno1114: not the first option though
(9:06:45 PM) Inferno1114: theres always fireswarth
(9:06:48 PM) XandZero2: Gotcha
(9:06:57 PM) XandZero2: I actually have that ability on my character
(9:07:04 PM) Inferno1114: ability?
(9:07:13 PM) XandZero2: Fireswrath
(9:07:19 PM) XandZero2: Combat ability, right?
(9:07:23 PM) Inferno1114: ah
(9:08:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: alright well
(9:08:24 PM) Inferno1114: well Snaitf is late
(9:08:30 PM) Commander_Shepard: if snaitf shows up he will just have to get up to speed
(9:08:30 PM) Pristine_Page: bluh
(9:08:37 PM) XandZero2: So how are we going to destinguish between OOC and IC?
(9:08:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: put a * before any ooc
(9:08:51 PM) Inferno1114: ((OOC))?
(9:08:53 PM) XandZero2: OK
(9:08:58 PM) snaitf [snaitf@64.16.grq.upy] entered the room.
(9:09:02 PM) Inferno1114: there we go
(9:09:04 PM) Pristine_Page: Just in time!
(9:09:05 PM) XandZero2: There he is!
(9:09:06 PM) snaitf left the room.

(9:09:15 PM) XandZero2: Hey snaitf
(9:09:16 PM) snaitf [snaitf@64.16.grq.upy] entered the room.
(9:09:22 PM) Pristine_Page: You're just in time!
(9:09:27 PM) Pristine_Page: And by that I mean 10 minutes late :P
(9:09:36 PM) Commander_Shepard: The true repair man will repair... man.
(9:09:53 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf you ready to roll?
(9:09:53 PM) Pristine_Page: ok. all is here. ready to play?
(9:09:55 PM) snaitf: sorry was on the wrong chatroom for a minute twiddling my thumbs.
(9:10:01 PM) Pristine_Page: *grabs his dice*
(9:10:04 PM) snaitf: yep
(9:10:05 PM) Pristine_Page: Ready!
(9:10:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ixvsV-ahI0
(9:10:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: So
(9:10:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/51641909/Greendale%20Ponytown.png
(9:10:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: sorry, thats the correct link
(9:10:37 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf thats the map
(9:10:41 PM) Inferno1114: Last time, on DRAGON BALL Z
(9:11:05 PM) XandZero2: Oh boy - I love that show!
(9:11:06 PM) Commander_Shepard: You all meet up with you invitations to join Lady Candlebright around noon, outside the library
(9:11:08 PM) XandZero2: (:
(9:11:20 PM) Inferno1114: wait, I made it to town?
(9:11:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf, you are beaten, starving, and needing medical care
(9:11:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: yes, your ship sailed in at the last minute
(9:11:41 PM) Inferno1114: AwesomeSauce
(9:11:49 PM) Commander_Shepard: Outside the library, your contact is not waiting
(9:11:49 PM) XandZero2: And me?
(9:11:54 PM) Commander_Shepard: yes, you are all there
(9:11:59 PM) XandZero2: OK
(9:12:04 PM) Commander_Shepard: In fact, the town looks mostly deserted
(9:12:11 PM) Commander_Shepard: The giant thunderstorm is rolling in
(9:12:18 PM) Inferno1114: hmm, Lady CandleBright. I wonder who that could be, I think as I read the invitation
(9:12:20 PM) Pristine_Page: "Sweet Celestia!" Pristine proceeds to work on healing Snaitf's character (Stormy? I forget)
(9:12:31 PM) snaitf: Storm Cloud wanders to the destination and collapes around the steps, "soooo hungry.'
(9:12:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: Seven pegasii float above the cloud cover trying to hold back the storm
(9:12:53 PM) Commander_Shepard: You can read the invitation on the forums~
(9:12:54 PM) XandZero2: I'm just going to sit and watch in the shadows
(9:13:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: its the OP
(9:13:00 PM) Pristine_Page: (yeah storm) I pull out the bandages in my bag and a couple snacks and work to heal him.
(9:13:28 PM) Commander_Shepard: A filly runs up to you
(9:13:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: She streaks past in terror, shoving her way into the library
(9:13:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: Most of the town seems unprepared for this sudden storm
(9:13:59 PM) XandZero2: That will catch my attention.
(9:14:11 PM) snaitf: After getting some food in him he says, "sorry about that I to make this entire trip without food and rest."
(9:14:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: *** < this means im done monolouging. You also havent introduced yourselves
(9:14:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: let me know when you are ready to act
(9:14:55 PM) Pristine_Page: "Watch where you're going!" I yell while still healing. "Don't talk. How the buck did you get this hurt. Page, Pristine Page is the name and you really shouldn't move." 9+15=24 heal
(9:15:07 PM) XandZero2: *Theorycraft isn't going to introduce himself unless somepony speaks to him.
(9:15:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: *theorycraft is so passive aggressive
(9:15:28 PM) Pristine_Page: Pristine obviously has a bit of scatterbrain at the moment between the storm, shoving filly, and pony in nead of healing.
(9:15:31 PM) XandZero2: *He's staying to himself for now
(9:15:43 PM) Inferno1114: Black Fire looks around and sees some stranged masked pony hiding off in the pushes and stares at him with bewilderment
(9:15:56 PM) Inferno1114: *bushes
(9:16:01 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft returns the stare
(9:16:03 PM) XandZero2: Nods
(9:16:13 PM) Commander_Shepard: * an epic friendship begins
(9:16:22 PM) Inferno1114: Black Fire Nods back, with the mutual bro sign of whats up
(9:16:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: A pony slids in the mud towards your party
(9:16:43 PM) snaitf: "I'm Storm Cloud, I got this way for somepony that bit me and took my stuff"
(9:16:48 PM) Commander_Shepard: She matches the description in the invitation
(9:16:57 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft looks towards the newcomer
(9:16:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: " Hiya, I'm Bright Blossom "
(9:17:06 PM) Commander_Shepard: " Listen we really don't have time to talk "
(9:17:23 PM) Pristine_Page: " I can tell." Pristine mutters as he cleans the bite mark, party ignoring the pony
(9:17:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: " Not everypony in town was ready for the storm, and I don't think the town will make it without some help "
(9:17:28 PM) XandZero2: 'On that, you and me agree lady."
(9:17:37 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft says in a gruff voice
(9:17:38 PM) Commander_Shepard: " My Grandmother would take it real kindly if you would help out "
(9:17:55 PM) Inferno1114: "what still needs to be done?"
(9:17:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: She dashses off, spraying mud on Pristine as she passes
(9:18:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: You notice that there are five distinct problems with the town
(9:18:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: 1: Not enough weatherponys
(9:18:28 PM) Pristine_Page: Pristine grumbles as he washes the mud away from Storm's wounds.
(9:18:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: 2: The Dog shantytown is completely unprepared for any high winds
(9:18:48 PM) snaitf: Storm Cloud turn his head towards Bright, "I'll see what I can do."
(9:19:01 PM) Commander_Shepard: 3: Most of the trees in the area have loose limbs
(9:19:13 PM) Commander_Shepard: 4: The merchants quarter still has people in the open arguing
(9:19:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: 5: The library has large, unsecured windows
(9:19:29 PM) snaitf: "after I'm healed of corse"
(9:19:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: Bright Blossom is long gone and doesn't even hear you over the thunder
(9:19:43 PM) Commander_Shepard: ***
(9:19:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: What do you do
(9:20:00 PM) snaitf: I try to get up.
(9:20:10 PM) Inferno1114: "So Mr. Inkblot, what do you like to be called?"
(9:20:15 PM) Pristine_Page: I push him down lightly since he's probably still hurt
(9:20:22 PM) XandZero2: "Theorycraft..."
(9:20:28 PM) Commander_Shepard: He is weak but fulled healed
(9:20:39 PM) XandZero2: "You can call me Theorycraft."
(9:20:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud is now covered in mud.
(9:21:01 PM) Inferno1114: "Well Theorycraft, you look like someone who knows how to persuade others into your way of thinking. think you could stop the arguing going on over there?"
(9:21:04 PM) Commander_Shepard: again.
(9:21:04 PM) Pristine_Page: Like I said, I wash the stuff of Storm.
(9:21:13 PM) Pristine_Page: *off
(9:21:17 PM) Commander_Shepard: what are you using to wash him off with
(9:21:30 PM) Inferno1114: ((rain?))
(9:21:33 PM) Pristine_Page: water in a canteen?
(9:21:34 PM) Commander_Shepard: * that sounds like someone suggested to split the party
(9:21:41 PM) Inferno1114: *it does
(9:21:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: okay, you use your canteen water to clean snaitf
(9:21:46 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft looks over in the direction of the arguing townspeople.
(9:21:55 PM) XandZero2: Then he starts walking towards them.
(9:22:19 PM) Commander_Shepard: party successfully split
(9:22:22 PM) XandZero2: *Theorycraft isn't officially in the party yet, as far as he sees it
(9:22:47 PM) Pristine_Page: I head over and follow theoryraft. "Better have two than just one pony. They might listen better.
(9:22:57 PM) Pristine_Page: Since Storm is healed fully.
(9:23:07 PM) snaitf: I wait until my wings are in a flyable state by manipulating the feathers, like most birds do.
(9:23:43 PM) snaitf: And I fly up to where the other weatherponies are.
(9:23:48 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm is good to fly.
(9:23:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: (9:22:44 PM) Commander_Shepard: You see two townsfolk arguing outside a smithy and carpenters shop
(9:23:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: (9:23:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: The blacksmith is trying to nail iron sheets over his windows and open forge area
(9:23:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: (9:23:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: the carpenter is throwing nails at him and screaming about payment
(9:24:14 PM) Inferno1114: Black Fire seeing Theorycraft taking his advice, decides to head over to the Diamond Dog Town, and see if he can bring them into the library for safety
(9:25:20 PM) Pristine_Page: I turn to theory. "Let's get both sides of the story. I'll take the blacksmith, you take the carpenter?"
(9:25:53 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft nods, "Sure."
(9:26:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: theorycraft, perception roll?
(9:26:27 PM) XandZero2: 23
(9:26:40 PM) XandZero2: *Nothing too impressive
(9:26:53 PM) Pristine_Page: I head over to the blacksmith, and ask, "Excuse me sir? Could you tell me what's going on between you and him? Also, may I help?" *Twitch* 10 total persuasion.
(9:27:20 PM) snaitf: Once with the weatherponies, I ask one of them, "what do we have here?"
(9:27:36 PM) Commander_Shepard: It appears that Iron Flame, the blacksmith, has been stealing nails from Tidy Home, the carpenter, to nail up his shop\
(9:28:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud, the pegasus replies " It's a level four thunderhead with a quarter mile eye, and the stormfront is two minutes out ! "
(9:28:40 PM) XandZero2: *Do I notice this with the Perception check? Or is that directed at PP?
(9:28:51 PM) Commander_Shepard: That's your perception check
(9:29:01 PM) XandZero2: *Okay
(9:29:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: Pristine, you believe that the carpenter is stealing from the blacksmith.
(9:29:32 PM) Pristine_Page: That was Persuasion. Does he tell me that?
(9:30:03 PM) XandZero2: I'm going to ask Iron Flame, "Are you stealing from that carpenter?"
(9:30:08 PM) snaitf: Based on my experience in weather, what is the best way my char. can think of to deal with this storm?
(9:30:26 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: Yes
(9:30:30 PM) XandZero2: *Does this count as Interrogation? I get a bonus for that!
(9:30:56 PM) Pristine_Page: I raised an eyebrow. "How has he stolen from you, sir? Or for that matter, why?"
(9:30:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: Theorycraft: " I'm just borrowing from him, the rat is overpricing for the storm. I gots to keep my shop working "
(9:31:21 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf : you can use weathercrafting to turn back the stormclouds
(9:31:56 PM) snaitf: Acrobatics check for this, correct?
(9:32:32 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: " Are you confused sir? I said, sir, he was stealing nails from me. The ruffian doth not keep enough tools in his shed and in time of need, comes cry to me . "
(9:33:00 PM) snaitf: 23 to turn back the storm.
(9:33:54 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft to IF: "Do you intend to return those nails when you're done with them?"
(9:33:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud succeeds in temporarily turning back the front line of the storm
(9:34:09 PM) Pristine_Page: I tilt my head to the side and say, "It seems to me the only reason he stole the nails from you was to keep his own business from falling to the ground. I fail to see how that is too dangering in a time of need if it appears that you have a surplus.
(9:34:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: you are busy for 10 minutes, snaitf
(9:34:30 PM) Commander_Shepard: All members of the party notice the rain becomes less pounding
(9:34:58 PM) Pristine_Page: "Why don't you ask for the payment once the storm passes? that way you both can, pardon the storm, Weather the storm."
(9:35:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: Theorycraft: " I mean, if I can pull the nails out of the woodwork, yeah maybe. But let's be honest here, stamping nails through iron plates doesn't do wonders for resale value "
(9:35:25 PM) Pristine_Page: *pardon the pun*
(9:35:55 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft: "Do you have the money to pay this carpenter?"
(9:36:09 PM) snaitf: tThis is factoring in my quick weather-crafting right?
(9:36:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: " Why I say,sir , are you asking that I dely payment on these time critical goods? They are at peak value now "
(9:36:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: yes snaitf
(9:36:36 PM) Commander_Shepard: while it sucks getting taken out of action, what you are doing is p. important storywise~
(9:36:37 PM) snaitf: alright.
(9:37:02 PM) Commander_Shepard: Theorycraft: " I gots money to pay, but not at the prices he is asking! This is extortion ! "
(9:37:16 PM) snaitf: I understand, just making sure.
(9:38:11 PM) XandZero2: "Yet you failed to buy these nails back when there was no storm?"
(9:38:23 PM) XandZero2: "What stopped you?"
(9:39:02 PM) Pristine_Page: 23 on persuasion. "You're joking sir! Are you so selfish that you would endanger the life of another just for money when this kind of storm could kill somepony if unprotected! The damage that the winds could cause to somepony ALONE are possibly fatal! Let alone the effects of the lightning and freezing Rain! Sir, delay the paymany because if you don't he may die!
(9:39:33 PM) Pristine_Page: possibly +5 for referencing Pony Anatomy mildly
(9:39:38 PM) Commander_Shepard: Theorycraft: " I used all them nails making shoes and the like for everypony, and all my spare iron went to making sheets for the storm "
(9:39:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: negative on that skill bonus.
(9:40:03 PM) Pristine_Page: negative what?
(9:40:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: you are not getting a +5
(9:40:27 PM) Pristine_Page: Ah.
(9:40:30 PM) Pristine_Page: Ok.
(9:40:42 PM) Pristine_Page: ... Magic point. 33 instead
(9:40:44 PM) snaitf: DE-NIEEEEEEED.
(9:40:53 PM) Commander_Shepard: and i have to retype
(9:40:53 PM) snaitf: :P
(9:40:55 PM) Commander_Shepard: looooool
(9:41:21 PM) XandZero2: "Did the carpenter take your shoes and sheets?"
(9:41:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: " Very well. If you can convince him to pay the full price of the nails I am offering after the storm, I will not call the constable. "
(9:41:56 PM) XandZero2: *Perception check to make sure this pony isn't lying.  24
(9:42:11 PM) Pristine_Page: I walk over to the other pony.
(9:42:16 PM) Commander_Shepard: which pony zero
(9:42:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: Iron Flame or Tidy Home
(9:42:26 PM) XandZero2: Iron Flame
(9:42:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: You believe that he is not lying
(9:42:53 PM) XandZero2: *And what's his answer?
(9:43:10 PM) Pristine_Page: Iron Flame is the Blacksmith, the pony I talked to I think
(9:43:32 PM) Pristine_Page: Eitherwise Shepard switched who we talked to.
(9:43:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: yes i believe I did switch them
(9:43:43 PM) XandZero2: *?
(9:43:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: let me check arr
(9:43:51 PM) XandZero2: *I was talking to the blacksmith
(9:43:52 PM) Commander_Shepard: three way party split huzzah
(9:44:04 PM) XandZero2: *HUZZAH!
(9:44:36 PM) Pristine_Page: Wait, where's Black Fire?
(9:44:50 PM) Inferno1114: solvign problems
(9:44:55 PM) Inferno1114: anyway i can
(9:45:05 PM) Commander_Shepard: Theorycraft: " What? Why would he take my shoes and sheets? I'm not saying he stoles from me, I'm just saying I'm out of nails from working so hard for the town, and this guy is refusing to sell me nails at anything less than ten times the price "
(9:45:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: and page has walked over as well.
(9:45:44 PM) XandZero2: "Did you work so hard for him?"
(9:45:52 PM) XandZero2: *meaning the carpenter
(9:46:49 PM) Pristine_Page: I cough. "The Carpenter is willing to delay your payment if you pay in full after the storm. He also kinda threatened to call the constable if you don't and I believe that's fair. If somepony stole your sheets, you'd do that same wouldn't you?"
(9:47:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: ******************************
(9:47:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: The storm has moved closer into town
(9:47:19 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf, you are free to act again
(9:47:33 PM) Commander_Shepard: Loose tree limbs begin to fly around in the open, and talking is very difficult
(9:47:42 PM) XandZero2: "Buck..."
(9:47:45 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud needs to make a flying check to remain in the sky
(9:48:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: The blacksmith grabs his hat and screams at you
(9:48:14 PM) snaitf: 26 to stay in the sky.
(9:48:43 PM) Commander_Shepard: " Now I will pay him in full after the storm, but at his normal prices, ya hear? This is highway robbery to charge a man ten bits a bag o nails at a time like this, down right unneighborly "
(9:48:51 PM) Commander_Shepard: as his hat flys off, you notice he is a unicorn.
(9:49:39 PM) XandZero2: "What's more important, your shop or your bits?" Intimidation check
(9:49:55 PM) Pristine_Page: I shove my foot in his mouth before he finishes
(9:50:15 PM) XandZero2: *That's me PP?
(9:50:22 PM) Pristine_Page: "Not helping. Can you pay it the price he has now?"
(9:50:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud stays aloft
(9:50:29 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Yeah
(9:50:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: you can make a move now snaitf.
(9:50:48 PM) Pristine_Page: ((I stop you at  "Or Your" because it sounds threatening))
(9:51:13 PM) Commander_Shepard: " I ain't paying the price he is offering now, and thats final. Now ya'll git, yai'nt stayin in my shop "
(9:51:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: He has finished boarding up his shop and is locking himself inside
(9:51:32 PM) snaitf: 31 on moving the storm away from town. (cue elevator music.)
(9:51:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: lol
(9:52:04 PM) Commander_Shepard: The storm is much more violent, but you succeed in clearing the storm to minimal levels around the library. Other sections of the town still suffer the full effect
(9:52:39 PM) Pristine_Page: I groan and put my hoof on my head. "I think I may have enough bits to keep this pony from going to Jail." I rummage in my bags and look, heading over. "How much does he owe you sir?"
(9:52:45 PM) XandZero2: I break away from PP, "Do you think we have time for this? The Blacksmith's clearly in league with the Illumipony. He's trying to stall for time until the Nightmare's can ride in on the storm clouds."
(9:53:43 PM) Pristine_Page: I facehoof at Theory and think, "Great. First I have a nightmare about Slenderpony and now I have to deal with a threatening Conspiricy Theorist."
(9:53:48 PM) XandZero2: "I almost had him ready to confess!"
(9:54:04 PM) XandZero2: "Slenderpony, eh?"
(9:54:14 PM) XandZero2: "I've met him a few times
(9:54:22 PM) XandZero2: "Interesting character."
(9:54:30 PM) Pristine_Page: I blink and turn. "I... Didn't say that out loud, did I?"
(9:54:44 PM) XandZero2: *Oh, sorry about that (:
(9:55:03 PM) XandZero2: *My mistake
(9:55:14 PM) Pristine_Page: (('sall right.))
(9:55:25 PM) Pristine_Page: "Sir? How much does he owe you?
(9:55:36 PM) Commander_Shepard: The blacksmith is actively ignoring you
(9:55:37 PM) XandZero2: *Oh, you did say that outloud, didn't you?
(9:55:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: He has finished nailing his door in place, and puts the last board over the windows
(9:56:05 PM) Pristine_Page: ,,, I tap him on the shoulder. "SIR! HOW. MUCH. DOES. HE. OWE. YOU!?"
(9:56:06 PM) XandZero2: *I think PP's talking to the carpenter
(9:56:20 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Whichever one is the one who was stolen from
(9:56:30 PM) XandZero2: I'll go over in that direction myself.
(9:56:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: " Hm, lets see here "
(9:56:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: Tidy Home pulls out a number of ledgers, all of which begin flying away in the wind
(9:56:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: they land in the street and begin to get soaked
(9:57:04 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Smooth))
(9:57:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: " Well, let's just say, about a hundred bits ? "
(9:57:12 PM) XandZero2: "Oh, here we go..."
(9:57:38 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft mutters, "Corrupt, money grubbing, worm..."
(9:58:07 PM) Pristine_Page: Once again, I shove my hoof in his mouth and whisper in his ear, "Shut the buck up. You're not helping here."
(9:58:11 PM) Commander_Shepard: Tidy Home's looks offened
(9:58:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: " I say sir, I shall not put up with your interferences any longer . "
(9:58:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: The carpenter closes his door and finishes boarding his shop
(9:58:47 PM) Pristine_Page: I hand him a hundred bits. "I'll pay for him."
(9:58:47 PM) XandZero2: *I'm going to shove PP away and intimidate this pony.
(9:58:55 PM) Commander_Shepard: The carpenter is actively ignoring you
(9:59:02 PM) Pristine_Page: ..."I SAID I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR HIM!"
(9:59:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: he cant hear you over the storm
(9:59:25 PM) Commander_Shepard: and you dont have 100 bits
(9:59:29 PM) Pristine_Page: I sit on the ground and grumble. "What's the deal with these ponies? It's like the storm is making everypony unharmonious."
(9:59:40 PM) Pristine_Page: ... Dude, I'm a doctor. I think I'll have a hundred bits.
(9:59:48 PM) XandZero2: "Nightmares"
(9:59:54 PM) Pristine_Page: "SHUT IT!"
(10:00:08 PM) XandZero2: "That's all I can do, with you around buddy."
(10:00:13 PM) Commander_Shepard: you just completed an epic journey cross country
(10:00:18 PM) Commander_Shepard: travel costs
(10:00:21 PM) Pristine_Page: ... true. never mind
(10:00:33 PM) Commander_Shepard: The storm accelerates once again
(10:00:45 PM) XandZero2: "And you're strategy was so much more effective..."
(10:00:53 PM) Commander_Shepard: page and theorycraft both take 5 damage from a loose tree limb flying down the street
(10:01:02 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf, you are free to act again
(10:01:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: ill need another flying check
(10:01:23 PM) XandZero2: Theorycraft's had enough of this. He's heading back for the shelter.
(10:01:48 PM) Commander_Shepard: what shelter.
(10:01:58 PM) XandZero2: *He'll try boarding up the windows if he can - the library, right?
(10:01:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: Everything in the merchant section is boarded
(10:02:00 PM) Pristine_Page: I head over to Black Fire and tell him, "Tree branches. Help me.
(10:02:14 PM) snaitf: "oh for the love of.." 30 to stay in flight. 24 to move the storm.
(10:02:32 PM) Commander_Shepard: Once more, you cling just barely to the sky
(10:02:41 PM) Commander_Shepard: but you fail to calm the storm.
(10:02:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: so
(10:03:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: is theorycraft staying with page or heading to the library
(10:03:05 PM) Commander_Shepard: pppppppppppartysplit
(10:03:16 PM) Commander_Shepard: you can take more actions snaitf
(10:03:19 PM) XandZero2: *I'm playing in-character
(10:03:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: its clear that at this point, the storm is too much for any but the most skilled pegasus
(10:03:33 PM) XandZero2: *If you want me to stay with PP for simplicity's sake, I can
(10:03:53 PM) XandZero2: *Otherwise TC's heading for the library
(10:04:06 PM) snaitf:  Head to the town and get rid of the debris as fast as I can.
(10:04:36 PM) Pristine_Page: I do the same even if Black Fire doesn't follow me.
(10:04:47 PM) Inferno1114: *I'm in the library
(10:04:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: either way works
(10:04:51 PM) Inferno1114: *with my own problem
(10:05:13 PM) XandZero2: *TC's heading to the library then
(10:05:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf, make a stunts check
(10:05:16 PM) Pristine_Page: Bluh. Pristine heads into the library instead giving up.
(10:05:43 PM) snaitf: 20 on stunts.
(10:06:30 PM) snaitf: thats 20 total not nat. btw.
(10:06:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: k
(10:06:40 PM) Commander_Shepard: so lets see then
(10:06:58 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud manages to clear some of the tree's around the library
(10:07:06 PM) Inferno1114: so continuing here
(10:07:08 PM) Commander_Shepard: you now have some spare wood on you
(10:07:11 PM) Pristine_Page: I open the door, soaked, and grumbling, "Stupid cheapskates. 100 bits isn't that much, but 10 bits a bag IS too much."
(10:07:21 PM) Commander_Shepard: as page and theorycraft enter the library
(10:07:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: they find that they cant open the door.
(10:07:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: Something heavy is blocking it
(10:07:43 PM) Inferno1114: whoops...
(10:07:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: inferno
(10:07:56 PM) XandZero2: "It's the Illumipony - I KNEW IT!"
(10:08:03 PM) Inferno1114: yes
(10:08:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: You manage to stick bookcases in front of all the windows
(10:08:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: but
(10:08:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: a bolt of lightning shatters the glass ceiling to the library
(10:08:30 PM) Inferno1114: what are the odds?
(10:08:34 PM) Commander_Shepard: pretty high
(10:08:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: The entire library is now getting rained on
(10:09:01 PM) XandZero2: *My goodness, these townspeople are morons!
(10:09:02 PM) Inferno1114: did anypony get hit with it, or did they clear the way?
(10:09:03 PM) Commander_Shepard: the children who were aiding you are now actively seeking cover under displays and artwork
(10:09:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: You notice that Star Shine isn't moving
(10:09:29 PM) XandZero2: *Let's go seek shelter in the glass library everypony!
(10:09:31 PM) Pristine_Page: "OH FOR THE LOVE OF!" I buck the door. 24 stunts.
(10:09:46 PM) XandZero2: I'm aiding
(10:09:52 PM) Commander_Shepard: make you check to aid.
(10:09:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: otherwise, it fails
(10:10:02 PM) XandZero2: *Got a 16 on my aid check
(10:10:07 PM) XandZero2: +4 to PP
(10:10:16 PM) XandZero2: *If that's enough to aid
(10:10:33 PM) Commander_Shepard: The check succeeds
(10:10:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: you both throw your shoulders into it and knock the door open
(10:10:55 PM) Commander_Shepard: what little material that wasn't flying free before now is
(10:11:05 PM) Inferno1114: "StarShine, what are yuou doing, you need to get to cover!"
(10:11:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: The whole library is a wet mess of flying pages
(10:11:19 PM) Commander_Shepard: There are a number of bookcases oddly out of place
(10:11:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: and you notice children hiding under things around the library
(10:11:35 PM) Inferno1114: I hear the doors fly open and turn aroudn to see those two barge in
(10:11:38 PM) Commander_Shepard: Star Shine doesn't respond
(10:11:47 PM) Inferno1114: I have the problem of needng to keep these children safe

(10:16:48 PM) Commander_Shepard: and you have only travel tools
(10:16:49 PM) Inferno1114: I think thats beyond normal healing
(10:16:54 PM) Inferno1114: now its a skill challenge
(10:17:00 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Meh. I continue healing him.))
(10:17:01 PM) XandZero2: *I got a 16 on Persuasion aid
(10:17:04 PM) Commander_Shepard: its not like he was supposed to die and you derailed my shit
(10:17:17 PM) snaitf: From my assistance in the storm, do what interno tell me true. and 16 on aid.
(10:17:30 PM) Pristine_Page: ((o3o 20+5 because it involves his anatomy.))
(10:17:38 PM) Inferno1114: that doesnt matter
(10:17:44 PM) Inferno1114: a crit is auto highest success
(10:17:51 PM) Inferno1114: possible
(10:17:52 PM) Commander_Shepard: Inferno succeeds in convincing two unicorns and three earth ponys to aid him
(10:18:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: how do you want to fix the library ceiling?
(10:18:23 PM) Inferno1114: what resources do we currently have in the library?
(10:18:27 PM) Inferno1114: any tarps?
(10:18:31 PM) Inferno1114: or sheets?
(10:18:41 PM) XandZero2: *There isn't a cellar to this library?

(10:18:48 PM) Commander_Shepard: * there isnt
(10:18:49 PM) Inferno1114: curtains maybe?
(10:18:54 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Nother 25 total to heal him more)0
(10:19:02 PM) Commander_Shepard: You have healed him all he can be healed
(10:19:17 PM) Commander_Shepard: he clearly needs something to disinfect the would, remove the glass properly, and stitch
(10:19:36 PM) Pristine_Page: Okay.
(10:19:44 PM) Inferno1114: I take the wet Caveses and try to merge them together into a sheet big enough to close the hole in the ceiling
(10:19:52 PM) Commander_Shepard: How will you merge them
(10:20:07 PM) Pristine_Page: Since I've stabalized him, I look around the room for anything to help us out. 16 total.
(10:20:10 PM) Inferno1114: Magically stitching, gluing them
(10:20:16 PM) XandZero2: *I'm going to make a perception check to see if we aren't missing anything we can use in here
(10:20:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: okay
(10:20:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: inferno, youll need an its witchcraft with a +4 bonus
(10:20:47 PM) XandZero2: I got a 28 on perception
(10:20:50 PM) Inferno1114: 35
(10:21:03 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: The room is full of crushed bookcases now, plenty of spare wood, and the branches that snaitf left outside
(10:21:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: Zero, same thing.
(10:21:33 PM) XandZero2: "Shouldn't we use wood over canvas?"
(10:21:41 PM) Inferno1114: yes, to hold it into place
(10:21:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: Inferno, you succeed in destroying the librarys priceless artwork and turning it into a tent
(10:22:03 PM) Inferno1114: well the rain ruined them already
(10:22:30 PM) XandZero2: "How's canvas going to hold up to a storm of Nightmares?"
(10:22:38 PM) Commander_Shepard: The storm picks up again
(10:22:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: You can no longer hear each other with the wind blowing through the front door
(10:23:07 PM) Inferno1114: Now, we need to get this boarded into the ceilign to keep everyone else safe, anyone that can't fly or use ponykinesis, try and sweep away this glass so noone else gets injured
(10:23:09 PM) snaitf: priorites, priorities.
(10:23:26 PM) Inferno1114: I use my mental link to try and communicate with everyone in the room
(10:23:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: are the party members willing participants?
(10:23:45 PM) Inferno1114: are they?
(10:23:53 PM) XandZero2: I suppose
(10:23:55 PM) Pristine_Page: I'm probably listening for somepony to tell me what to do.
(10:23:55 PM) Commander_Shepard: You make the link with the five ponies students willing to listen.
(10:24:00 PM) snaitf: unwittingly willing yes.
(10:24:04 PM) Pristine_Page: darn.
(10:24:19 PM) Commander_Shepard: and you link with your party members
(10:24:27 PM) XandZero2: Okay
(10:24:28 PM) Commander_Shepard: so now you can continue chatting over the howling wind
(10:24:29 PM) Inferno1114: I tell them what I just did and tell them to tell their friends what I said
(10:24:41 PM) XandZero2: "What about the door?"
(10:24:44 PM) Commander_Shepard: The earth ponies begin sweeping up the glass
(10:24:58 PM) Inferno1114: "You guys try and blockade it"
(10:25:06 PM) Inferno1114: I did it once, but that didnt work out well
(10:25:12 PM) snaitf: Storm looks around and says "what was that?"
(10:25:13 PM) Commander_Shepard: You notice the door hinges are damaged
(10:25:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: dynamic entry.
(10:25:27 PM) XandZero2: Can we shove a bookcase in front of it?
(10:25:32 PM) Inferno1114: lol
(10:25:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: You can try
(10:25:37 PM) Inferno1114: what do you think was locking it?
(10:25:52 PM) XandZero2: Oh, right.
(10:25:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: So, you have closed the front door
(10:26:00 PM) XandZero2: Well, using the same bookcase then
(10:26:05 PM) Pristine_Page: I do that. 27 stunts to push something in front of the door.
(10:26:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: its barely holding, the door is straining against the bookcase
(10:26:22 PM) Inferno1114: I try to seal the ceilign with the tent, and see if Storm can help board it into the ceiling
(10:26:25 PM) XandZero2: 14 to aid
(10:26:33 PM) Commander_Shepard: You dont need to roll on the door.
(10:26:38 PM) XandZero2: Okay
(10:26:40 PM) Commander_Shepard: so
(10:26:46 PM) Inferno1114: its that the door is broken
(10:26:49 PM) Inferno1114: and wont hold well
(10:26:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: its witchcraft to put the canvas up
(10:26:53 PM) Inferno1114: maybe a second book case
(10:26:59 PM) Inferno1114: any assistance?
(10:27:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm can use stunts check to aid
(10:27:09 PM) Inferno1114: from the unicorns?
(10:27:11 PM) Commander_Shepard: you get +4 for the unicolts
(10:27:25 PM) Inferno1114: 37
(10:27:26 PM) snaitf: yes and 10 to aid.
(10:27:36 PM) Pristine_Page: I shouldn't have blown my magic point on that stupid Persuasion check. Otherwise I'd Generosity that.
(10:27:38 PM) Inferno1114: 10 + 5 for flying
(10:27:45 PM) Inferno1114: since its on the ceiling
(10:27:54 PM) Commander_Shepard: The party manages to get the tent up
(10:28:13 PM) snaitf: thats -5 for flying and its 10 total.
(10:28:17 PM) Pristine_Page: Are we mostly protected?
(10:28:19 PM) Inferno1114: oh damn
(10:28:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: You are mostly protected but
(10:28:30 PM) Commander_Shepard: the unicorn colts are almost out of magic
(10:28:35 PM) XandZero2: *here we go
(10:28:38 PM) Commander_Shepard: and you are using magic just to keep it aloft
(10:28:45 PM) Inferno1114: I tell them to go rest up, and that they did a good job
(10:28:48 PM) Pristine_Page: ... buck.
(10:28:59 PM) Inferno1114: "Your parent swill be proud when they hear what you did"
(10:29:03 PM) Commander_Shepard: You'll need to pin down the edges of the canvas to the walls
(10:29:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: And.
(10:29:30 PM) Commander_Shepard: inferno and the colts cant help because they are holding the canvas
(10:29:44 PM) Commander_Shepard: theorycraft, page, storm: go!
(10:29:49 PM) Inferno1114: am I able to cast immovable?
(10:29:54 PM) XandZero2: Can Earth Ponies help with this?
(10:29:56 PM) snaitf: I get to doing thatand rolled a 16 on whatever check that is.
(10:30:02 PM) Commander_Shepard: The earth ponies can help
(10:30:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf, dont roll an aid just yet
(10:30:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: we dont even know whats happening
(10:30:21 PM) XandZero2: "I'm on it."
(10:30:38 PM) Pristine_Page: I check the bookshelves for nails and such. 23 perception/search
(10:30:49 PM) Commander_Shepard: Yes, you can inferno
(10:30:51 PM) Commander_Shepard: except
(10:31:01 PM) Commander_Shepard: if you do that, you'll drop the canvas during the 20 seconds
(10:31:08 PM) Inferno1114: damn
(10:31:21 PM) Inferno1114: so it needs to be pinned before I can cast immvable
(10:31:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: The bookshelves are neatly boarded together, so there are plenty of nails available
(10:31:30 PM) Commander_Shepard: if only you had something to remove them with.
(10:32:18 PM) XandZero2: "That Blacksmith's hammer'd be nice right about now..."
(10:32:18 PM) Commander_Shepard: Im the like ultimate sofies choice DM
(10:32:56 PM) Pristine_Page: I grab one of the scalpels from my bag and use it to remove the nails.  21 mechanics (8 roll, +8 bonus, +5 from no horn no problem.)
(10:33:21 PM) Commander_Shepard: interesting
(10:33:25 PM) Commander_Shepard: Ill allow it.
(10:33:32 PM) Commander_Shepard: You now have a neat pile of nails
(10:33:44 PM) Pristine_Page: I grab a board and some nails and call storm down.
(10:33:54 PM) XandZero2: Do we have a hammer?
(10:34:01 PM) Pristine_Page: "Use the boards as a hammer!"
(10:34:01 PM) Inferno1114: we have hooves
(10:34:01 PM) XandZero2: Or something blunt?
(10:34:03 PM) Inferno1114: thse are hammers
(10:34:03 PM) Commander_Shepard: You don't have a hammer
(10:34:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: You do, in fact, have hooves
(10:34:18 PM) Inferno1114: rainbow dash proved hooves work
(10:34:23 PM) XandZero2: Okay
(10:34:27 PM) Pristine_Page: Boards are blunt enough, I've done it IRL.
(10:34:33 PM) Pristine_Page: This way he doesn't get hurt doing it.
(10:34:33 PM) snaitf: exactly
(10:34:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: So whats the plan then
(10:34:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: send Storm Cloud around the room nailing everything?
(10:35:03 PM) XandZero2: Can we all do it to speed things along?
(10:35:10 PM) XandZero2: Or aid even?
(10:35:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: How will you reach the ceiling
(10:35:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: or aid him
(10:35:16 PM) Commander_Shepard: cheer him on?
(10:35:23 PM) XandZero2: That'll work
(10:35:26 PM) Pristine_Page: To the roof, nailing the tarp, followed by him holding it up as much as he can while Black uses Immmoble?
(10:35:44 PM) Inferno1114: you did say nail them to the walls
(10:35:52 PM) Inferno1114: and does the library have a second floor?
(10:35:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: It does not
(10:36:07 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf
(10:36:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: if this is the action you want to take
(10:36:13 PM) Inferno1114: stand on a book case to nail them in?
(10:36:24 PM) XandZero2: I was thinking about that, actually
(10:36:40 PM) snaitf: nail canvas' to the ceiling time
(10:36:49 PM) Commander_Shepard: Ill need a mechanics check
(10:37:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: you can give him +1 aid by cheering him on
(10:37:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: except inferno
(10:37:45 PM) Pristine_Page: Actually, I point out where he should nail the tarps. That should count as aiding him.
(10:37:46 PM) XandZero2: Can I curse him on for the same effect?
(10:38:08 PM) XandZero2: I can roll intimidation
(10:38:12 PM) snaitf: 20 total.
(10:38:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: yes and no
(10:38:21 PM) Commander_Shepard: in that order
(10:38:22 PM) XandZero2: Say something like, "Don't mess this up or we're all dead!"
(10:38:33 PM) Inferno1114: that would make him more nervous
(10:38:42 PM) XandZero2: Or more effective (;
(10:38:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: make a mechanics roll to aid
(10:38:43 PM) Pristine_Page: Bluh. 16 Mechanics.
(10:39:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: zero
(10:39:08 PM) Commander_Shepard: you want to make a persuasion check to cheer him on?
(10:39:19 PM) Inferno1114: ah, persuasion or perception PP
(10:39:25 PM) Pristine_Page: 19?
(10:39:30 PM) XandZero2: It won't be the most happy cheer, but sure
(10:40:00 PM) XandZero2: 30 on the cheer. "If you don't hurry, the Nightmares will eat us all!"
(10:40:08 PM) Commander_Shepard: Interesting
(10:40:09 PM) XandZero2: "Do it for the kids!"
(10:40:15 PM) Inferno1114: and they are both Earth Ponies
(10:40:20 PM) Inferno1114: to +8?
(10:40:20 PM) XandZero2: Yep
(10:40:37 PM) snaitf: for the Giffer?
(10:40:41 PM) Commander_Shepard: So, even with Page pointing out all the wrong spots, Storm just manages to get the canvas nailed in
(10:40:58 PM) Pristine_Page: HEY! I rolled 16, not a nat1.
(10:41:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: There are three earth ponies
(10:41:08 PM) Commander_Shepard: Its canon
(10:41:14 PM) Commander_Shepard: page is bad at nailing things
(10:41:29 PM) Pristine_Page: ... Buck you.
(10:41:33 PM) Inferno1114: ok
(10:41:38 PM) Inferno1114: Is the tarp secure for now?
(10:41:45 PM) Commander_Shepard: It seems so
(10:41:46 PM) Inferno1114: that i can drop holding it up
(10:41:53 PM) Commander_Shepard: perception check
(10:42:07 PM) Inferno1114: I release my ponykinesis and try to cast immovable, making sure the tent stays in place
(10:42:09 PM) Commander_Shepard: I'd just like to point out real quick
(10:42:12 PM) Commander_Shepard: DM editorializing
(10:42:12 PM) Inferno1114: yes?
(10:42:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: that by working together
(10:42:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: you guys actually succeed at a skill check series
(10:42:26 PM) Commander_Shepard: finally.
(10:42:31 PM) Pristine_Page: INyeh :P
(10:42:33 PM) XandZero2: Yay!
(10:42:35 PM) Commander_Shepard: never split the party?
(10:42:37 PM) Inferno1114: lol
(10:42:37 PM) Inferno1114: woo
(10:42:40 PM) Pristine_Page: hooray.
(10:42:50 PM) snaitf: YEEESSSSS
(10:42:56 PM) Inferno1114: well with 5 problems, we couldnt do them all alone
(10:43:04 PM) XandZero2: Yep
(10:43:05 PM) Inferno1114: i mean one at a time
(10:43:10 PM) XandZero2: Yep
(10:43:19 PM) Commander_Shepard: maybe you werent supposed to finish them all
(10:43:22 PM) Inferno1114: perception someone?
(10:43:28 PM) XandZero2: I got a 26
(10:43:43 PM) Commander_Shepard: The ceiling tarp seems steady... for now?
(10:43:45 PM) Pristine_Page: 16
(10:43:53 PM) XandZero2: "You're good."
(10:43:57 PM) snaitf: 21
(10:43:58 PM) Inferno1114: I charge up my immovable
(10:44:02 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: yeah the ceiling looks just great. They should just leave it like this
(10:44:18 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm: same as zero
(10:44:20 PM) snaitf: Storm heads down to the floor.
(10:44:38 PM) Commander_Shepard: The tarp whips around a bit with the wind, but solidifies as Immovable finishes
(10:44:49 PM) Commander_Shepard: The children begin emerging from under their desks
(10:45:07 PM) Inferno1114: well, I'm going to be here for  a while
(10:45:13 PM) Pristine_Page: I head back to the pony with glass in his head and look him over, checking for any other wounds beside the head one. 12+8+5 for pony anatomy.
(10:45:21 PM) XandZero2: "So why'd everypony decide to hold up in a glass library?"
(10:45:37 PM) Pristine_Page: "Probably because there's no place else?"
(10:45:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: The children aren't talking to you
(10:45:52 PM) Inferno1114: "these ponies were here visiting, but because of the storm there parents never got to coem get them since they were preparign fo rit
(10:45:53 PM) Commander_Shepard: they seem to huddle around Black Fire
(10:45:59 PM) XandZero2: "Or because the Elder Gods took control of their dreams."
(10:46:00 PM) Inferno1114: "They got stuck in here hoping for the best"
(10:46:14 PM) Pristine_Page: I thwack Theory on the head automatically.
(10:46:35 PM) XandZero2: I'm going to look at PP and thwack him back
(10:46:44 PM) Inferno1114: I look down at the children, smiling
(10:46:52 PM) Commander_Shepard: k
(10:46:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: action stops for a second
(10:46:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: got to roll out the rails
(10:47:00 PM) Pristine_Page: I thwack him again.
(10:47:08 PM) XandZero2: I thwack him again
(10:47:13 PM) Commander_Shepard: The storm picks up once again
(10:47:16 PM) snaitf: 14 on perception, do I notice any playing cards laying around.
(10:47:21 PM) Pristine_Page: ... NAT 20 BUCK TO THE FACE!
(10:47:26 PM) Commander_Shepard: the sourthern wind picks up
(10:47:28 PM) Inferno1114: -_-
(10:47:30 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Yes I seriously got that.)
(10:47:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: The door blows open, as do all the southern windows
(10:47:41 PM) XandZero2: Well, I got a 10
(10:47:45 PM) Commander_Shepard: so lets see
(10:47:54 PM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf is safe looking under a table for cards
(10:48:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: inferno, page, and theory are all caught in the open as a bunch of window glass spreads across the room
(10:48:17 PM) Commander_Shepard: again.
(10:48:21 PM) Commander_Shepard: and take five damage
(10:48:32 PM) Commander_Shepard: bringing Page and Theory down to 15
(10:48:40 PM) Pristine_Page: No, 20.
(10:48:41 PM) Inferno1114: I try to stand in front of the fillies, blockign them from the glass
(10:48:43 PM) Commander_Shepard: 20
(10:49:06 PM) Pristine_Page: you don't math well shepard.
(10:49:10 PM) XandZero2: *It won't be twenty for long, the way we're going.
(10:49:11 PM) Commander_Shepard: I saved the citadel
(10:49:17 PM) Commander_Shepard: So
(10:49:26 PM) Commander_Shepard: Storm Cloud fails to find any cards
(10:49:40 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page and Theory are caught with a face full of glass as they beat each other
(10:49:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: Inferno protects the children
(10:50:00 PM) snaitf: "Was anyone near the window when they gave." and gets out of the table.
(10:50:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: and Star Swirl begins bleeding again.
(10:50:04 PM) Inferno1114: Can I try to create a magic barrier?
(10:50:15 PM) Commander_Shepard: You will need a really high witchcraft check
(10:50:36 PM) XandZero2: Can I aid with threats of encouragement?
(10:50:51 PM) Commander_Shepard: persuasive threats, yes.
(10:50:55 PM) Inferno1114: "Children, I want to make a barrier to keep us same from the glass. Can any of you help form it?"
(10:51:09 PM) snaitf: He sees the glass and gets back under the table and shouts, "Get to cover from the glass."
(10:51:11 PM) Commander_Shepard: All of the children are too scared to help you
(10:51:32 PM) XandZero2: I'm going to try and persuade the kids
(10:51:44 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page: just to resolve this, BEFORE the windows blew out, you checked over Star Shine but there was nothing additional you could do
(10:52:09 PM) XandZero2: TC turns to the kids, "Come on kids - this is life or death. You don't want to die, and neither do I. You can do this!"
(10:52:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: -1 to your skillcheck
(10:52:32 PM) Commander_Shepard: have you ever spoken to a child irl?
(10:52:44 PM) Pristine_Page: 19 total now -_-
(10:52:47 PM) XandZero2: Persuasion: I got a 17... Thinking I might use the stare here
(10:52:52 PM) XandZero2: How young are these kids?
(10:52:59 PM) Commander_Shepard: blank flanks
(10:53:01 PM) Inferno1114: CMC age maybe
(10:53:01 PM) XandZero2: I just know they're kids
(10:53:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: The children go hysterical after hearing that they are going to die
(10:53:27 PM) Pristine_Page: Don't Theory. we already blew 1 magic point.
(10:53:31 PM) Commander_Shepard: Some of them are now sobbing uncontrollably
(10:53:35 PM) Inferno1114: "well, I'm flying alone then. Don't worry, I'll keep you safe"
(10:53:37 PM) Pristine_Page: ... *Facehoof* I need a drink.
(10:53:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: Outside the broken windows, you can see large tree's being uprooted by the wind
(10:53:57 PM) Commander_Shepard: a ship broke off the docks and sunk in the harbor
(10:53:57 PM) Inferno1114: 31
(10:54:21 PM) XandZero2: "I'm out of my element..."
(10:54:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: inferno, are you making a persuasion check on the kids?
(10:54:36 PM) Inferno1114: no, that was for the barrier
(10:54:40 PM) Commander_Shepard: it fails
(10:55:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: All the children have become unwilling participants in your telepathy as well and can no longer hear you
(10:55:05 PM) Inferno1114: I pant as I try to form my magic but am unsuccesful
(10:55:09 PM) snaitf: I shout to the kids, "get to cover to protect yourselves from the debris!" 15 persuasion.
(10:55:18 PM) Commander_Shepard: The kids cant hear you, and it fails
(10:55:36 PM) XandZero2: I'm going to try and grab the kids, and forcefully drag them to cover
(10:55:41 PM) Commander_Shepard: Suddenly, the storm ends
(10:55:47 PM) Commander_Shepard: it's bright overhead
(10:55:50 PM) XandZero2: Okay...
(10:55:53 PM) Inferno1114: ...
(10:55:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: you can see the sun for the first time since entering town
(10:56:02 PM) XandZero2: "It's a trap."
(10:56:04 PM) Commander_Shepard: perception checks.
(10:56:06 PM) Pristine_Page: ... I say, "what the buck just happened?"
(10:56:16 PM) Pristine_Page: Followed by, "For once I agree."
(10:56:19 PM) Inferno1114: 14
(10:56:27 PM) Pristine_Page: 16
(10:56:29 PM) XandZero2: *Ugh. I got a 16...
(10:56:36 PM) XandZero2: *Rolled a freaking 3
(10:56:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: All of you notice nothing strange out of the south window
(10:56:45 PM) Inferno1114: how a 3?
(10:56:46 PM) Commander_Shepard: at all.
(10:56:53 PM) XandZero2: 3+13
(10:56:57 PM) XandZero2: 16
(10:57:02 PM) XandZero2: Bugger...
(10:57:09 PM) snaitf: I get out from under the table for a while and say "Its probably the eye of the storm, try to get to shelter before it hits again."
(10:57:24 PM) Pristine_Page: Well that means there's something out the south window. I collapse to the ground in exaustion.
(10:57:27 PM) XandZero2: "Or the eye of the Illumipony
(10:57:29 PM) XandZero2: "
(10:57:53 PM) XandZero2: "They're always watching..."
(10:57:55 PM) Commander_Shepard: Now that you have been warned by Storm Cloud
(10:58:05 PM) Commander_Shepard: you do notice that the stormwall is coming once again from the south
(10:58:10 PM) Commander_Shepard: this relief is only temporary
(10:58:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: you have some time before the winds pick up again
(10:58:29 PM) Commander_Shepard: so to reiterate
(10:58:30 PM) XandZero2: "Let's get that tarp back up!"
(10:58:33 PM) Inferno1114: does storm cloud have an ETA on knowing when the eye will end?
(10:58:36 PM) Commander_Shepard: The southern windows are blown out
(10:58:37 PM) Inferno1114: it is still up
(10:58:50 PM) Commander_Shepard: he can make a perception check with a cutie mark bonus
(10:59:00 PM) Inferno1114: every 10 minutes, I need to reapply it
(10:59:00 PM) Commander_Shepard: the tarp is close to losing its magic
(10:59:04 PM) Commander_Shepard: the children can still hear you
(10:59:11 PM) Commander_Shepard: now that the wind is gone
(10:59:12 PM) Inferno1114: I spend 20 seconds reformign the immovable
(10:59:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: It succeeds
(10:59:25 PM) Commander_Shepard: what do you do
(10:59:30 PM) Inferno1114: Storm, what do you see?
(10:59:30 PM) snaitf: cutie mark critical on perception. how much time do we have?
(10:59:39 PM) Pristine_Page: wait what?
(10:59:43 PM) Pristine_Page: How is that a CMC?
(10:59:55 PM) Inferno1114: cutie mark in perception
(10:59:56 PM) Pristine_Page: I thought his cutie mark was Acrobatics.
(11:00:01 PM) Commander_Shepard: its in weather
(11:00:04 PM) Inferno1114: he changed his character
(11:00:13 PM) Pristine_Page: ... really?
(11:00:23 PM) Commander_Shepard: his name is Storm Cloud.
(11:00:23 PM) Pristine_Page: link me the doc?
(11:00:30 PM) Inferno1114: whoops
(11:00:31 PM) Inferno1114: wrong CD
(11:00:33 PM) Inferno1114: CS
(11:00:49 PM) Commander_Shepard: You have about five minutes.
(11:00:50 PM) Inferno1114: it was a normal crit
(11:00:52 PM) Pristine_Page: Yeah, Not to be rude, but the cutie mark is a SKILL.
(11:00:52 PM) Inferno1114: not a CMC
(11:01:08 PM) Inferno1114: we dotn have time to get the kids home
(11:01:31 PM) Inferno1114: we need to reinforce those back windows and get everyoen someplace safe from the glass
(11:01:45 PM) XandZero2: Oh, it was the windows that broke
(11:01:47 PM) XandZero2: My bad
(11:01:52 PM) snaitf: (well, now we know.) Storm checks and says "we have about five minutes before it strikes again."
(11:01:53 PM) XandZero2: I thought the canvas had broken

(11:47:22 PM) Commander_Shepard: there is just one dog left
(11:48:38 PM) snaitf: Lightning Bolt, Storm takes a storm cloud, bucks it and does 4 damage to the remaining dog.
(11:49:03 PM) Commander_Shepard: He also falls over unconscious

(11:49:43 PM) Commander_Shepard: and you dropped the dying doctor in the mud before the fight started
(11:49:44 PM) Pristine_Page: I turn to the others and cuss them out for leaving the hurt pony in the dirt.
(11:49:52 PM) Inferno1114: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YCN-a0NsNk
(11:50:10 PM) Inferno1114: dying doctor?
(11:50:12 PM) XandZero2: I tell PP to shut the buck up because he's the doctor who left his patient in a pool of his own blood
(11:50:16 PM) Commander_Shepard: well
(11:50:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: dying Star Shine
(11:50:20 PM) snaitf: Storm turns to Dark fire, "what was this about?"
(11:50:48 PM) Commander_Shepard: ooc, you just left him in a pool of his own blood as well, lol
(11:50:50 PM) Inferno1114: "these 3 diamond dogs just came out and blocked our paths and then attacke dus"
(11:51:17 PM) Pristine_Page: "I bandaged him up! I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything else after stabalizing him from a bucking wound to the head!"
(11:51:43 PM) XandZero2: "You left him in the library."
(11:51:45 PM) Inferno1114: "lets get him to the doctor, quickly"
(11:51:58 PM) snaitf: "Do you know where a hospital is?"
(11:52:20 PM) XandZero2: "No, but I know where we can find a decent doctor..."
(11:52:21 PM) Inferno1114: "Past the sugar Cane Plantation"
(11:52:30 PM) XandZero2: TC puts extra emphasis on the "decent" part
(11:52:54 PM) Commander_Shepard: Friendship
(11:52:55 PM) Commander_Shepard: is
(11:52:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: Magic
(11:52:58 PM) snaitf: "Know where this plantaion is?"
(11:53:15 PM) XandZero2: *On the other side of the map
(11:53:25 PM) XandZero2: *How do I say that in-character?
(11:53:28 PM) Inferno1114: "According to this image of the town I have posted in my mind, it should be a little farther SouthWest
(11:53:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: good save inferno
(11:53:44 PM) XandZero2: "He's right."
(11:53:45 PM) Pristine_Page: "Sta. Ble. He wasn't going to get worse." I snip. "At least until you droped him in the mud." I twitch. "OKAY THAT IS IT!" I shove a hoof in his face. "YOU CAN INSULT ANYTHING ABOUT ME EXCEPT MY BUCKING MEDICAL TALENT." I twitcha nd say, "Yeah, that works. As long as you drop the insults about my medicinal talents, you can say whatever you want."
(11:54:12 PM) Pristine_Page: ((yeah, planned that as a pet peeve.))
(11:54:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: (11:52:54 PM) Commander_Shepard: Friendship

(11:54:20 PM) Commander_Shepard: (11:52:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: Magic
(11:54:22 PM) XandZero2: "But why would I stop the insults that get results?
(11:54:42 PM) Commander_Shepard: As you all bicker divisively, the old stallion is dying slowly.
(11:54:49 PM) Inferno1114: Black Fire sighs, and puts Star Shine on his back, drudgign along the path to the doctor
(11:55:03 PM) XandZero2: TC follows
(11:55:12 PM) Pristine_Page: I twitch grabbing some cotton from my first aid kit and shoving it in my ears, walking away.
(11:55:37 PM) Commander_Shepard: aw yeah party split
(11:55:39 PM) snaitf: I take the stallion and say to them, "I'll fly over there, and see this docter." and fly away.
(11:55:57 PM) Commander_Shepard: Three of you arrive at Quack, M.D.'s
(11:56:08 PM) XandZero2: *Is PP really going away again?
(11:56:13 PM) Inferno1114: eeyup
(11:56:13 PM) snaitf: I knock at the door.
(11:56:14 PM) Pristine_Page:  No, Following you guys.
(11:56:21 PM) XandZero2: *Okay
(11:56:35 PM) Pristine_Page: ((Just have the cotton in my ears to help ignore your pony :P
(11:56:56 PM) Commander_Shepard: The doctor is dead
(11:57:03 PM) Pristine_Page: ...
(11:57:06 PM) Commander_Shepard: a symbol is carved into his forehead
(11:57:12 PM) Inferno1114: Well Shit Fuck
(11:57:24 PM) Commander_Shepard: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Taurus.svg it looks like this
(11:57:24 PM) Pristine_Page: I stare at the room with an open mouth before proceeding to cuss out a storm
(11:57:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: Page, you see still sterile equipment around here
(11:58:04 PM) XandZero2: I'm making a perception check to see if there's anything in here to give me a clue to what's happened.
(11:58:24 PM) Pristine_Page: 23 history to identify that symbol, followed by looking around for stuff to help heal the dying old man. Not the dead one, the dying.
(11:58:35 PM) XandZero2: Why is the doctor dead? Are the murders still here? That kind of thing...
(11:58:39 PM) Commander_Shepard: k
(11:58:41 PM) snaitf: "Aww, nuts, well might as well hand him over to the morticians."
(11:58:44 PM) Commander_Shepard: roll it zero
(11:58:58 PM) XandZero2: I got a 27 with Freaky Knowledge Clue Searching
(8/25/2012 12:00:31 AM) Commander_Shepard: Page: You have everything you need to save star shine. Actually, it should be pretty simple ( no skill check needed with all your previous checks )
(12:00:49 AM) Commander_Shepard: we are going to wrap this up in the next 15 guys
(12:00:53 AM) Inferno1114: ok
(12:01:01 AM) Commander_Shepard: we got started a little late
(12:01:13 AM) Inferno1114: also, I'll help identify that symbol
(12:01:20 AM) Pristine_Page: I sigh in relief as I heal him up. What about identifying the symbol?
(12:01:31 AM) Inferno1114: 17 to assist
(12:01:38 AM) Pristine_Page: 23 if you forgot.
(12:01:46 AM) Commander_Shepard: i sent you a pm about the symbol
(12:01:57 AM) Commander_Shepard: it may have opened a new tab on your client
(12:02:04 AM) Pristine_Page: Ah.
(12:02:08 AM) Pristine_Page: Also, no fun :P
(12:02:15 AM) Inferno1114: What is it PP?
(12:02:33 AM) Pristine_Page: Just "Something about astrology".
(12:02:41 AM) Commander_Shepard: The door slams open
(12:02:44 AM) Pristine_Page: -I say that IC-
(12:03:02 AM) Commander_Shepard: An elderly unicorn mare walks in stately, followed by two huge unicorn guards
(12:03:17 AM) Commander_Shepard: " What has happened here " she demands
(12:03:24 AM) Commander_Shepard: The guards lower their horns
(12:03:28 AM) XandZero2: "There's been a murder."
(12:03:37 AM) Inferno1114: "We do not know. We came here to take care of Star Shine and found the doctor dead already"
(12:03:54 AM) Pristine_Page: "We came in, found the doctor dead, and then I proceeded to heal the pony we came her to heal." I pointed at the glass shard and the wound in Star Shine's head.
(12:03:56 AM) XandZero2: "Had the marking on his head too."
(12:04:07 AM) snaitf: "We don't know, we went to see this doctor to save this pony, and the doctor here turned out dead."
(12:04:17 AM) Inferno1114: I think its pretty clea rnopw
(12:04:19 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Silence. "
(12:04:19 AM) Inferno1114: the doctor is dead
(12:04:28 AM) Commander_Shepard: " All of you are talking over one another. "
(12:04:36 AM) Pristine_Page: "Sorry Sir."
(12:04:39 AM) Commander_Shepard: " I come in here and find a dead pony I've known for years. "
(12:04:43 AM) Commander_Shepard: its a woman.
(12:04:50 AM) Pristine_Page: *Retcon ma'am
(12:04:54 AM) Commander_Shepard: who is now even more offended
(12:04:55 AM) Commander_Shepard: CANON
(12:05:07 AM) Pristine_Page: ((Dude, you gave no indication!
(12:05:10 AM) Pristine_Page: ((No fair P
(12:05:15 AM) Commander_Shepard: (12:03:02 AM) Commander_Shepard: An elderly unicorn mare walks in stately,
(12:05:23 AM) Commander_Shepard: (12:03:17 AM) Commander_Shepard: " What has happened here " she demands
(12:05:33 AM) Pristine_Page: I thought  the Silence was from the guard.
(12:05:44 AM) Commander_Shepard: Ill allow it....
(12:05:50 AM) Commander_Shepard: squinty eyes
(12:06:01 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Who are you people "
(12:06:01 AM) Pristine_Page: Also, Sir is often used gender neutrally
(12:06:10 AM) Pristine_Page: "Travelers."
(12:06:15 AM) XandZero2: "Theorycraft."
(12:06:22 AM) Inferno1114: "Black Fire"
(12:06:26 AM) Pristine_Page: "Pristine Page, aspiring artist and doctor."
(12:06:46 AM) Pristine_Page: Note, I haven't stopped trying to heal Star Shine during all this.
(12:06:48 AM) Commander_Shepard: " You are the ones I gathered. Hmm. "
(12:06:59 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Where is my Granddaughter? "
(12:07:18 AM) Inferno1114: "We are not sure, Lady CandleBright"
(12:07:27 AM) snaitf: "Storm Cloud, we came here to aid in the recent storm and was trying to get that pony," points at Star Shine, " to a doctor."
(12:07:36 AM) Inferno1114: "She ended up leading the chldren that were trapped in the library durign the storm back home"
(12:07:48 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Very well. "
(12:07:59 AM) Commander_Shepard: She begins speaking to her guards quietly
(12:08:03 AM) Commander_Shepard: They leave the room
(12:08:13 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Now, my little ponies. "
(12:08:19 AM) Pristine_Page: "She should be at the library last I knew." I mutter, glancing at the dead body and scanning it for anything I can notice. nat 15+8= 23. 28 if what I notice is related to anatomy or an enchanted object.
(12:08:22 AM) XandZero2: *Heh heh
(12:08:22 AM) Commander_Shepard: " You will tell me what has happened here today . "
(12:08:45 AM) Commander_Shepard: Page : Your check fails, you gather no new information
(12:09:04 AM) Commander_Shepard: This is akin to a friendship report time
(12:09:11 AM) Commander_Shepard: that ill be trying to do at the end of every session
(12:09:20 AM) Commander_Shepard: if someone wants to monolouge recap whats been done
(12:09:23 AM) XandZero2: *Just checking here, but cause of death seems to be the marking in his skull?
(12:09:33 AM) Commander_Shepard: *yes
(12:10:30 AM) Commander_Shepard: anyone?
(12:10:43 AM) Pristine_Page: After all of us, and your granddaughtr, met, we split up to try and help the town. Me and theory went to stop a conflict between the Carpenter and the Blacksmith, however due to a bit of conflict of actions, he and I possibly made it worse.
(12:11:18 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Yes, I've heard of this. Both merchants are calling for action against the other. "
(12:11:40 AM) Inferno1114: Dear Lady Candlebright, today I learned how important the children truely are. They may be young now, but they have a lot of potential deep inside them. They are able to stand strong when needed and protect others, even when in danger, liek when a library covered in glass is beign destroyed. In the end though, we made it out safetly and so did all of the foals. It just goes to show that you need to have faith in the you
(12:11:42 AM) Inferno1114: The End
(12:11:43 AM) Pristine_Page: I believe Storm tried to hold back the storm, and did well for a little, and I don't know what Black fire had done more than helping the children holed up in the library protect themselves from the storm, which we succeeded with teamwork.
(12:12:15 AM) Inferno1114: Your new ally, Black Fire
(12:12:17 AM) snaitf: "We came here to help minimize the damage from the storm, had to take shelter in the library, that pony was hit from some glass from the window shattering so we went to the doctor to preventt him from dying, and found this pony dead.
(12:12:44 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Very well. "
(12:12:53 AM) Pristine_Page: Then I stabalized this pony, went to get some cider since your grandaughter seemed blase about the whole event, we fought with some dogs on the way here, and found doctor Quack dead.
(12:12:54 AM) Commander_Shepard: " You seem to be some sort of doctor. "
(12:12:55 AM) snaitf: Had to patch up holes in the library during this ordeal as well"
(12:13:19 AM) Commander_Shepard: " You will take over Dr. Quacks practice until I have the next job for your little group . "
(12:13:29 AM) Commander_Shepard: " You over there with the hat. "
(12:13:41 AM) XandZero2: Theorycraft looks up
(12:13:44 AM) Commander_Shepard: " I need this murder investigated quickly and quietly "
(12:13:51 AM) Commander_Shepard: " I understand thats your... thing. "
(12:13:56 AM) XandZero2: I nod.
(12:14:11 AM) XandZero2: "Yes, that would be the case."
(12:14:12 AM) Commander_Shepard: " There hasn't been a murder in Greendale in over a century. "
(12:14:22 AM) Commander_Shepard: " In fact, this murder didn't happen. "
(12:14:23 AM) XandZero2: "Well, times change."
(12:14:27 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Do you all understand? "
(12:14:37 AM) XandZero2: "But sure, lie about it."
(12:14:39 AM) Commander_Shepard: " This didn't happen. Dr. Quack passed away of natural causes. "
(12:14:44 AM) XandZero2: "That'll make it all go away."
(12:14:59 AM) Commander_Shepard: Lady Candlebright looks at Theorycraft quite sternly.
(12:15:06 AM) Commander_Shepard: She appears intensely disappointed.
(12:15:11 AM) Pristine_Page: I turn to Theory and say, "It will keep the rest of the ponies from panicing more than the storm caused.
(12:15:13 AM) Inferno1114: I nod at Lady Candlebright, but ask her "do you happen to knwo what this symbol means?"
(12:15:27 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Why yes, my little pony, that is the symbol for Taurus. "
(12:15:33 AM) Commander_Shepard: " He is the sky bull of legend. "
(12:15:34 AM) Pristine_Page: "Yes, I don't want to lie about a murder, but sometimes a lie is easier to take."
(12:15:50 AM) XandZero2: "Says you."
(12:15:52 AM) Inferno1114: "Sky Bull?
(12:16:07 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Indeed, he is one of the twelve major constellations. "
(12:16:32 AM) Commander_Shepard: " In fact, if he recovers, I'm sure Star Shine will know all about the history of Taurus. "
(12:16:56 AM) XandZero2: TC scratches his chin thoughtfully, "Never heard of a cult of Taurus before..."
(12:17:01 AM) Pristine_Page: I snip, "Can we stop arguing. I'm already sobering up from the sip of cider and it's giving me a headache. You and I don't really get along well, but if we're going to end up working together I think we'll have to at least be neutral."
(12:17:05 AM) XandZero2: "Need to add it to my list..."
(12:17:17 AM) Pristine_Page: aaand at that I mentally facehoof.
(12:17:37 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Star shine will be weakend from this ordeal. You with the horn, you seem moderately competent."
(12:17:39 AM) Inferno1114: I think in my head, maybe if this symbol is 1 of 12, we have 11 more ponies to worry about
(12:17:47 AM) Commander_Shepard: " You will assist him at the library. "
(12:17:51 AM) Inferno1114: Yes my lady?
(12:17:59 AM) Inferno1114: I understand
(12:18:09 AM) Pristine_Page: "After all, you'll need a coroner who knows about the case to do an autopsy on the body."
(12:18:22 AM) Commander_Shepard: " That only leave housing concerns for the pegasus. I'm assuming you can take over temporary duties coordinating the weather control for the city? "
(12:18:33 AM) Commander_Shepard: Lady Candlebright is clearly furious now
(12:18:45 AM) Pristine_Page: ... "Sorry ma'am."
(12:18:45 AM) snaitf: "That is my specialty, ma'am."
(12:18:48 AM) Commander_Shepard: " Young doctor. It seems you do not understand. There was no murder here. "
(12:19:02 AM) Commander_Shepard: " There is no need for anyone other than you to examine this body "
(12:19:07 AM) XandZero2: TC shakes his head but says nothing.
(12:19:15 AM) Pristine_Page: "Yes, exactly."
(12:19:25 AM) Commander_Shepard: With that, she leaves
(12:19:32 AM) Inferno1114: I think to PRestine Page, "Don't worry about ti, we'll find Justice for the doctor later. For now we jsut need to keep our heads low and not argue"
(12:19:33 AM) Commander_Shepard: you all now have day jobs in town and a place to stay.
(12:19:48 AM) Commander_Shepard: lets see
(12:19:59 AM) XandZero2: "Miss, you don't think it would be better to inform the ponies so they can defend themselves against other murder attempts?
(12:20:01 AM) Commander_Shepard: zero and page gain 250 harmony.
(12:20:06 AM) Commander_Shepard: inferno gains 300
(12:20:12 AM) Commander_Shepard: snaitf gains 350.

(12:20:30 AM) snaitf: Yay, I won.
(12:20:31 AM) Pristine_Page: I think to Black, "For once, I agree with Theory. There's something funny in greensdale."
(12:20:33 AM) Commander_Shepard: some of you clearly did way more.
(12:20:36 AM) Pristine_Page: Yes, as a whole.
(12:20:41 AM) Commander_Shepard: Okay
(12:20:43 AM) Pristine_Page: Harmony is shared by the group.
