  1. [2015-01-10 21:52:39]<SpiritOfFate> Group 0-II: *Freedom's Price* - Session #027 starts now
  2. [2015-01-10 21:52:48]<SpiritOfFate> =======================================================
  3. [2015-01-10 21:55:08]<SpiritOfFate> "I'm Gilberto." Says the young Blackfeather. "You must be Ignis the dragon. Not many other dragons around here."
  4. [2015-01-10 21:56:04]<SpiritOfFate> Ignis is on the street, by the hole in the asphalt leading to a ruined sewer tunnel. Some green
  5. [2015-01-10 21:56:20]<SpiritOfFate> moss covers most of it.
  6. [2015-01-10 21:57:33]<Ignis> "Sure said, Gil." The dragon gazes around. "Keep your eyes peeled, if you can spot any trace of blood or feathers, call me up..." He said, starting to look for whenever trace that would lead to the disappeared griffon...
  7. [2015-01-10 22:00:28]<SpiritOfFate> Doll follows Firefly to meet these 'parents' ponies she speak of. She doesn't know what to think so she keeps her wits about her.
  8. [2015-01-10 22:02:14]* Firefly continues to chatter on. "
  9. [2015-01-10 22:02:34]* Firefly continues to chatter on. "So, what would you like to eat? I can try and fix us a snack when we get there."
  10. [2015-01-10 22:11:31]<SpiritOfFate> "The ghouls? What, just because they don't like that your little science project is a threat to their old world machine business?" Jennifer says. Royal_Lace and Swiss_Provolone get a feeling she is trying to mislead them.
  11. [2015-01-10 22:11:56]<SpiritOfFate> "Alright." Gilberto says.
  12. [2015-01-10 22:15:42]<SpiritOfFate> "Canned food." Doll says. "They don't rot your gut and dumb ponies don't know how to get food out of them."
  13. [2015-01-10 22:17:07]* Royal_Lace glances to Swiss, "And why would our work be a threat to them and there... Buisness"
  14. [2015-01-10 22:17:22]* Firefly giggles. "Ok. I'm pretty sure we have some... oooh, maybe some canned carrots! Those are my favorites!"
  15. [2015-01-10 22:19:03]* Ignis hops into the tunnel, reaching the underground sewer network...and attemps to orientate himself there.
  16. [2015-01-10 22:22:08]<SpiritOfFate> The moss seems to wobble under Ignis' feet. It's not hard to get directions as it follows the same as the streets above.
  17. [2015-01-10 22:22:56]* Swiss_Provolone glares suspiciously at Jennifer
  18. [2015-01-10 22:23:30]* Ignis tries to find some clues...there must be something here that should indicate to which way a griffon was dragged to...
  19. [2015-01-10 22:25:33]<SpiritOfFate> Strangely there seems to be no markings in the moss, who feels oddly sticky and covers all the extent of the bottom of the sewers.
  20. [2015-01-10 22:28:06]<SpiritOfFate> "Uh, they scrub machines and sell them. And you sell machines too, right? It's the same thing." Jennifer says
  21. [2015-01-10 22:28:19]* Ignis glances at the bottom...of course, the forest was trying to claim what it wasn't hers even now...frigging mother nature...the dragon grumbled something and decided to examine around the walls, there should be something...a big bird simply doesn't disappear overnight without a trace.
  22. [2015-01-10 22:28:59]<SpiritOfFate> Doll smiles a bit. Soon you are at Firefly's family home.
  23. [2015-01-10 22:29:33]* Firefly walks into the house through the front door. "Momma, poppa! I'm home, and I brought a friend!"
  24. [2015-01-10 22:29:39]* Royal_Lace Hummms as she looks to swiss and Jamal, "Dose that sound like everything to you? It seems like a pretty extream reaction to me, if its just buisness"
  25. [2015-01-10 22:31:35]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I'm not a business pony myself, but it doesn't sound quite right. Besides, why target the clinic if they want to protect their business? Seems like the junkyard and your building would've been enough." he replies
  26. [2015-01-10 22:35:27]<SpiritOfFate> "That's wonderful, sweetie." Her mother says with a genuine smile. "What is your name?"
  27. [2015-01-10 22:37:32]<SpiritOfFate> "Going out and making friends. That is what you should be doing, the grownups can do the fighting." Firefly's father says, while fixing a tool
  28. [2015-01-10 22:38:13]<SpiritOfFate> Doll takes a step back, whimpering something unintelligible, and then "...Doll."
  29. [2015-01-10 22:39:17]* Firefly sticks out her tongue at her parents. "But I can help! Saving ponies is what everyone should do, just like Rainbow Dash."
  30. [2015-01-10 22:41:32]<SpiritOfFate> "We know you can, but don't need to lose your youth for it. You are only a foal once." Solar Fury says, looking at her with one glowing eye.
  31. [2015-01-10 22:42:51]<SpiritOfFate> Ignis finds a feather on the wall, and sees another further towards south, half swallowed by the moss.
  32. [2015-01-10 22:43:14]* Firefly snorts. "Yeah... I suppose. Can I get a snack for me and doll?"
  33. [2015-01-10 22:44:31]<SpiritOfFate> "Does it matter? I did it for the money, it's not like I care!" Jennifer shouts. But you do know there is more to it.
  34. [2015-01-10 22:44:34]* Ignis notices that, and glances back. "Yo Gil! Over here!" The dragon waves down to the gryphoon, waiting for the merc before following the trail...maybe it was wishful thinking, but the blackfeather might still be alive.
  35. [2015-01-10 22:46:11]<SpiritOfFate> Gil flies right after him. "I'm here, you find something?"
  36. [2015-01-10 22:47:40]<Ignis> "Feathers, they're coming across the walls..." The dragon points over. "Here, c'mon..." He trots over towards the southern tunnel...he was probably on the right track.
  37. [2015-01-10 22:48:26]<SpiritOfFate> Ignis sight a small mound on the moss, with another feather.
  38. [2015-01-10 22:49:31]* Ignis runs towards the mound, digging it up a bit...
  39. [2015-01-10 22:50:48]* Royal_Lace shakes her head "You already said this was personal and I can belive you would attack us for revenge, But it wasnt just me or my friends there were those two buisness donkeys from limestack. So its not just money and its not just revenge, what do they have against us?"
  40. [2015-01-10 22:54:12]<SpiritOfFate> "Sure, sweetie." Falling Snow says, bringing them some snack sized hay balls.
  41. [2015-01-10 22:57:08]<SpiritOfFate> The mound easily opens, revealing a griffon underneat. There are large claw marks on her hindlegs and the moss seems to have entered through her beak and nostrils, and started to dig into some parts of her flesh. She is dead.
  42. [2015-01-10 22:58:31]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer grunts. "If I tell you who it was, will you let me go?"
  43. [2015-01-10 22:58:41]* Ignis sighs and attempts to pry her off from the moss, trying to cut off the problematic spots of plant matter...
  44. [2015-01-10 22:59:56]<Swiss_Provolone> me nickers, clearly not entralled with the idea of letting Jennifer go
  45. [2015-01-10 23:00:28]<SpiritOfFate> "...that doesn't look good." Gilberto says.
  46. [2015-01-10 23:01:22]<Ignis> "Tell me about it...uh..." The dragon is at work on cutitng all of those plants... "Maybe you could give me a claw here?"
  47. [2015-01-10 23:01:23]<SpiritOfFate> The moss easily gives away as it can't stand the claws of the dragon.
  48. [2015-01-10 23:02:25]<SpiritOfFate> Gilberto helps pulling the rest of it and soon the griffiness' corpse is free.
  49. [2015-01-10 23:02:42]* Royal_Lace Sighs, "Well It cant hurt your ods of an early release and I can at least promise a more comfortable stay so long as your with us"
  50. [2015-01-10 23:02:58]* Royal_Lace looks to the other griffion in the cage, "Or we could offer him the same deal and see what he thinks"
  51. [2015-01-10 23:03:11]* Ignis succeeds. "Thanks" Ignis grunts, picking up her body and slinging it over his shoulders. "Let us get out of here before we bump into the ugly cunt that did this"
  52. [2015-01-10 23:04:09]<SpiritOfFate> "Bwuh?" squawks the other griffon, opening an eye half-asleep.
  53. [2015-01-10 23:04:25]* Ignis makes his way back to the entrance, and from that up and back towards the blackfeather outpost.
  54. [2015-01-10 23:04:41]<SpiritOfFate> "You don't need to say it twice." Gilberto follows
  55. [2015-01-10 23:05:34]* Firefly smiles up at her mother. "Do we have any canned food? We missed lunch while exploring." The filly chuckles sheepishly.
  56. [2015-01-10 23:06:56]* Ignis peers into the office, looking for Jamal or that gryphoness he talked to early...entering the crowded building with a corpse wouldn't be a good idea.
  57. [2015-01-10 23:08:19]<SpiritOfFate> "Regular meals make heroes stronger, you know? But I think we still have something." Falling Snow, leaves to the kitchen.
  58. [2015-01-10 23:08:34]* Royal_Lace lifts a hoof in indicating the other griff, "Your choice is yours"
  59. [2015-01-10 23:10:25]* Firefly takes a bite out of the hay ball and smiles over at Doll. "What do you think?"
  60. [2015-01-10 23:10:44]<SpiritOfFate> "What choice?" The other griffon says.
  61. [2015-01-10 23:13:41]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer sneers. "Alright. It was Silver Anchor itself. I hear the request came from the Quarry who doesn't want you slaves dealing with recycled metal now that they found an ore vein. They wanted to make this place look dangerous. But there are no records of this, and Silver Anchor will disown us as traitors... just like Jamal there."
  62. [2015-01-10 23:16:08]<SpiritOfFate> Doll takes a hesitant bite and tastes a small portion carefully.
  63. [2015-01-10 23:16:27]<SpiritOfFate> A moment after, two more hayballs are gone.
  64. [2015-01-10 23:16:56]* Firefly munches slowly on her hay ball and lets Doll eat the others.
  65. [2015-01-10 23:18:39]<SpiritOfFate> Soon Ignis is back at the Blackfeather HQ. The supervisor turns her eyes at him with stoic interest.
  66. [2015-01-10 23:18:57]* Swiss_Provolone growls, "Had a feeling it was them."
  67. [2015-01-10 23:19:38]<Ignis> "Yo, griff...your girl is KIA." Ignis says, indicating the bulk he was carrying.
  68. [2015-01-10 23:20:52]<SpiritOfFate> Royal Lace gets the feeling Jennifer is talking the truth.
  69. [2015-01-10 23:22:50]* Royal_Lace nods her head, "Then It seems you have a bit in common with him, maybe you should talk to him about that some time". Turning back to Swiss she nods, "I think my curiousity has been satisfied, do you have anything further to add?"
  70. [2015-01-10 23:24:43]<SpiritOfFate> The supervisor grifiness nods. "So I see. We will see that she has the proper send off and her payment is send to the appropriate heir. Gilberto, take her to the basement."
  71. [2015-01-10 23:25:11]* Swiss_Provolone nods, stepping closer to Jennifer, "Well since they're going to brand you a traitor, mind tellin' me who's in charge of the Silver Anchor?" he asks her
  72. [2015-01-10 23:27:06]* Ignis promptly gives the dead griffon to the one encumbered. "You might wanna check her wounds, I just gave an oversight glance, she was clawed...but not sure if it was by a hellhound or another griffon." Ignis said, now glancing at the supervisor herself. "So, what now?"
  73. [2015-01-10 23:30:19]<Ignis> "Oh, also...you might wanna send some birdpower back to the southern barricades, there's a sewer entrance nearby there..."
  74. [2015-01-10 23:30:21]<SpiritOfFate> "That's no secret. It's Silver-Plume Garrett." Jennifer says.
  75. [2015-01-10 23:31:00]<SpiritOfFate> Gilberto takes the griffiness' corpse away
  76. [2015-01-10 23:32:12]* Swiss_Provolone nods, taking a step back, "You decide what to do with them ma'am. 'Cause if it was up to me, I'd see them hang." he says darkly to Royal_Lace
  77. [2015-01-10 23:33:51]* Royal_Lace flicks her tail and looks a bit cross at that, "I dont think that will be necisarry personally... I would see them treated well and punished for there crime in ways that do not spill more blood". Turning she looks to Jamal, "In any case we must deliver this information to Tamara, do you have any idea where I could find her?"
  78. [2015-01-10 23:34:13]<SpiritOfFate> "We will take care of that. The other one is still missing, but you made good to your word. Gilberto can accompany you once he is back and I will look into another to available merc to go along with your mission." The Blackfeather supervisor says
  79. [2015-01-10 23:35:14]* Swiss_Provolone "Thats why I'm making sure you handle it." he replies
  80. [2015-01-10 23:35:23]<SpiritOfFate> "She is still coordinating patrols and checks to make sure there is no more imminent danger." Jamal says. I will look for her.
  81. [2015-01-10 23:37:20]<Ignis> "and, well...eh, you got any leads to anywhere close by that might be a prospective scavenging area? Especially if it includes meds...we're rather understocked on that thanks to recent events..." The dragon says.
  82. [2015-01-10 23:37:58]* Royal_Lace Nods, "Very well... I will take some time to prepare my counsole if she will have it".
  83. [2015-01-10 23:40:09]<SpiritOfFate> "Actually, we have located a clinic lately that seems to have resisted raider attempts to loot it. It might take more refined attempts to get into it, but it is likely fully stocked." The blackfeather supervisor says
  84. [2015-01-10 23:42:14]<Ignis> "Resist raider attempts...hmm...will be worth checking anyways. Could I have the coordinates, please?"
  85. [2015-01-10 23:43:13]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer seems resigned to her fate. "If you truly intend to avoid bloodshed, keep in mind that there might be assassination attempts against us, to prevent us from revealing and corroborating anything"
  86. [2015-01-10 23:43:59]<SpiritOfFate> The supervisor gives ignis a talonmade marked map
  87. [2015-01-10 23:44:31]* Royal_Lace turns back to Jennifer and the other groggy Griffion, she nods and looks to swiss, "I think I can accomidate that, Swiss would you mind if I borrow you for a demonstration?"
  88. [2015-01-10 23:45:13]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Sure thing ma'am, what do you need?"
  89. [2015-01-10 23:45:26]<Ignis> "Thanks, I appreciate your help." The dragon says to her, then bids his farewell. He exits the room and goes to check on Gilberto...
  90. [2015-01-10 23:45:27]<SpiritOfFate> Falling Snow finally comes back with a can of Cram and another of carrots. "There you go."
  91. [2015-01-10 23:46:29]<SpiritOfFate> Gilberto soon comes back from the basement, meeting Ignis along the way. "Ugh, I need a good scrubbing after this."
  92. [2015-01-10 23:46:56]<Firefly> "Thanks momma!" Firefly smiles and looks to Doll. "Help me open them?"
  93. [2015-01-10 23:47:57]<Ignis> "Nevermind that, we're still going to need to muddle our claws a bit..." The dragon said. "You still need to find the other missing dude or that contract belongs to somegriffon else?"
  94. [2015-01-10 23:49:10]* Royal_Lace smiles, "Just stand still". Her horn flashes and glows bright as her eyes close in consentration. one bright flash of arcane witchery later and Swiss is now replaced with a slightly shorter and alternately colored mare version of himself.
  95. [2015-01-10 23:49:21]* Royal_Lace chuckles, "Im good at hiding things"
  96. [2015-01-10 23:50:00]<SpiritOfFate> "Nah, I just needed to check on her. So, what's up?" Gilberto says
  97. [2015-01-10 23:52:22]<SpiritOfFate> Doll pulls a knife from her rags and stabs it at the can, turning it with her hooves to open. "Open." She moves to the other one and does the same.
  98. [2015-01-10 23:52:38]* Ignis shows the map to him. "We're up to loot a clinic, though the place seems to be able to fend itself against raiders...maybe its inhabitated by wastelanders, or has an automatic security system or whatever, thing is, we need the drugs, badly." He nods, eyeing up to the griffon. "I could use another pair of hands, you up for it?"
  99. [2015-01-10 23:53:21]* Swiss_Provolone blinks in surprise, looking back at him-herself, "Not gonna lie, this wasn't what I was expectin' ma'am." he says in a higher pitched voice. She trots around in a circle, feeling... different, "How long does this last?"
  100. [2015-01-10 23:55:33]* Firefly applauds and dishes the pair of them up, giving Doll the bigger portion. "Thank you Doll."
  101. [2015-01-10 23:55:36]* Royal_Lace closes her eyes as she recites a bit of academia, "Well if I were using the classical pre-clovian variant without the trans-equational alterations it would not last past a few hours, thankfully my studies have been varied enough to incoporate many alternate spell paterns so.... untill you do a curtsie and say your a pretty mare"
  102. [2015-01-10 23:55:45]<SpiritOfFate> "Sure, I got nothing to do now anyway." Gilberto says
  103. [2015-01-10 23:56:15]* Royal_Lace smiles, "learning to add triggers to undo this spell was one of my favorite bits of advanced magic"
  104. [2015-01-10 23:56:48]<SpiritOfFate> Doll smiles a bit. "That's no problem." She turns to her meal.
  105. [2015-01-10 23:56:54]* Swiss_Provolone looks flatly at Royal_Lace, "Say what now?"
  106. [2015-01-10 23:57:59]* Royal_Lace shrugs, "Well you dont strictly have to, You could wait oh... say a four days for it to wear off? Yes, that sounds correct"
  107. [2015-01-10 23:58:12]<Ignis> "So, we go." Ignis memorizes the location, references...and then off he goes with his newfound companion.
  108. [2015-01-11 00:03:01]* Swiss_Provolone nickers indignantly, "I'll think about it."
  109. [2015-01-11 00:05:21]* Royal_Lace snickers, "So stuborn". Righting her face she looks back to jennifer, "So you see if you continue to behave I doubt you have much to worry about assasination, and truthfully the disguise only need be implemented so long as they have the power to reach you. Something im not convinced they will be in the position to attempt for long"
  110. [2015-01-11 00:06:31]<SpiritOfFate> Doll soon finishes her meal and seems much more at ease.
  111. [2015-01-11 00:07:52]<SpiritOfFate> "So I see. But why are you so confident?" Jennifer asks. The other griffon seems confused and a little put off
  112. [2015-01-11 00:08:28]* Firefly finishes her meal and deposits the dishes in the sink. "What do you want to do, Doll?" The filly calls from the kitchen as she takes a bit to wash the dishes.
  113. [2015-01-11 00:10:27]<SpiritOfFate> "Uh, I dunno. I'm not hungry anymore." Doll shrugs
  114. [2015-01-11 00:11:47]* Firefly sets the dishes to dry and comes out of the kitchen. "We could go play or explore... oooh! You want to visit the Nnoto?"
  115. [2015-01-11 00:12:01]* Royal_Lace smiles confidently as she puts on the best look of confidence she could, "Becouse... we are that good"
  116. [2015-01-11 00:13:48]<SpiritOfFate> "What are Nnoto?" Doll asks.
  117. [2015-01-11 00:14:56]<SpiritOfFate> "Firefly, the forest is not a good place to play." Falling Snow says.
  118. [2015-01-11 00:15:21]<SpiritOfFate> Jennifer sighs. "We are dead."
  119. [2015-01-11 00:15:38]<Firefly> "A tribe of zebra out in the forest. They're really nice." The filly bounces. "And I'm friends with them. They taught me how they fight." Firefly floats up in the air and takes a few swings, shadow-boxing.
  120. [2015-01-11 00:16:01]<Firefly> "Momma! We weren't going to fly willy-nilly around the forest! I was just gonna fly us straight to the village. Promise!"
  121. [2015-01-11 00:16:14]* Royal_Lace flips her mane, "Sorry if I dont want to show our hooves just yet or talk stratagey, we are only getting to know each other"
  122. [2015-01-11 00:16:54]<SpiritOfFate> "How are you taking your friend?" Falling Snow asks.
  123. [2015-01-11 00:17:12]<SpiritOfFate> "Uh, I can't fly." Doll says
  124. [2015-01-11 00:17:25]* Swiss_Provolone shuffles uncomfortable in her new body
  125. [2015-01-11 00:18:21]* Firefly nods. "I can carry her. I'm a strong pony... or I could ask Miss Lace to cast the spell that lets her walk on clouds and could push the cloud." Firefly nods. Fool-proof plans! And she's even got two of them!
  126. [2015-01-11 00:22:01]<SpiritOfFate> "Hmm. Okay, but only if your father goes with you." Falling Snow says.
  127. [2015-01-11 00:22:41]* Royal_Lace looks at Swiss, "You could just say it and do the curtsie you know, it would be over in a moment. I wont tell a soul"
  128. [2015-01-11 00:23:30]* Firefly looks over at her father. "Poppa, do you speak zebra? Most of the tribe doesn't speak Equestrian."
  129. [2015-01-11 00:23:53]* Swiss_Provolone shakes her head defiantly
  130. [2015-01-11 00:24:07]<Firefly> "Well... not good Equestrian, anyway."
  131. [2015-01-11 00:26:28]<SpiritOfFate> Solar Fury shakes his head. "I don't know Zebra. I am a little busy now. Can't you ask your friend Sotho?" He says, still tinkering with a tool.
  132. [2015-01-11 00:26:59]* Firefly shakes her head. "He left to go get his family."
  133. [2015-01-11 00:27:57]<SpiritOfFate> Solar Fury rubs his mane. "He did, huh?"
  134. [2015-01-11 00:28:17]* Firefly nods. "Yeah. Not sure when he'll get back."
  135. [2015-01-11 00:29:23]* Royal_Lace Snickers, "Fine, if you want to wait for a certain dragon to see you like this then be my guest. But I know for a fact he never lets anything go"
  136. [2015-01-11 00:29:48]* Firefly looks over at Doll. "Do you want to be carried or ride on a cloud?"
  137. [2015-01-11 00:30:39]* Swiss_Provolone tries to change the subject, "Though I have to say ma'am, your magic is pretty strong. I had a hard enough time trying to learn what I have."
  138. [2015-01-11 00:30:58]<SpiritOfFate> Doll blinks. "Uh... cloud?"
  139. [2015-01-11 00:34:02]* Royal_Lace waves a hoof, "Oh its nothing really, im not one of the greats. Im just a mare who couldnt keep her muzzle out of a book. Shame you were not hear before when I had an open class, may have to have another one soon"
  140. [2015-01-11 00:35:46]* Firefly nods. "Ok! Let me go grab my stuff and we can go get Miss Lace to cast the spell on you." Firefly giggles and darts to her room. "Yeah! I get to see M'tat again!"
  141. [2015-01-11 00:36:02]<Firefly> "And Liberty Dream, too!"
  142. [2015-01-11 00:36:25]* Swiss_Provolone chuckles, "Well the only spells I was able to get a grasp on are more focused on fightin' than transformin'. I doubt those are the kind that you're interested in."
  143. [2015-01-11 00:36:58]* Royal_Lace humms, "I dont belive I have seen you fight before"
  144. [2015-01-11 00:39:57]* Swiss_Provolone "Well if diplomacy doesn't work, you might just have to." she says somberly
  145. [2015-01-11 00:41:32]* Royal_Lace hums, "know any defensive ones?"
  146. [2015-01-11 00:42:51]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I know one to help see people around me, one to raise your senses, or react faster when a fight starts." she replies
