  1. [2016-04-06 13:19:49] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Previously...
  2. [2016-04-06 13:20:00] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Staring down at the crew of the /Rainbow Connection/, the floating Spirit of Chaos seemed to evaluate them for a moment before shaking his head. "Sorry, I'm not really one for recent events," the little draconequus said. "Not that it matters. Past is prologue and all that, right?"
  3. [2016-04-06 13:20:01] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  4. [2016-04-06 13:20:24] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mare-Do-Well finishes, "Then, in /Daring Do and the Razor of Dreams/, she finally defeats Ahuizotl and secures control of the Amulet of Atonement, dispelling the dark magic of the Quetzalcóatl Empress, and thus protecting the basin with the Radiant Shield of Rasdon!"
  5. [2016-04-06 13:20:30] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Golden_Dream 's ear perks up. "Mare-Do-Well, where'd they say th' Radiant Shield of Rasdon went?"
  6. [2016-04-06 13:20:52] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright sighs and shakes his head. "Golden, weren't you listening? We're /in/ the Radiant Shield of Rasdon!"
  7. [2016-04-06 13:20:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright points a hoof upwards, indicating the Obelisk above. "These tunnels, that rock, those glyphs... We're /inside/ the Shield!"
  8. [2016-04-06 13:20:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  9. [2016-04-06 13:21:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Get_Lost nodnods. "colonizing a brand new world is exciting... fleeing from your home is... a lot less okay"
  10. [2016-04-06 13:21:28] <Mare-Do-Well> 3With a pop, the draconequus appears next to Get_Lost's left ear. With a low chuckle, he whispers, "Oh don't worry. They're not going to be going nearly as far away as they think."
  11. [2016-04-06 13:21:28] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  12. [2016-04-06 13:22:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"Cordus thinks the portal didn't open to another /world/ at all." Mwana then says, "He thinks we didn't go to another place at all. He thinks we went to another /time/." Mwana looks down at the vent. Then up to Shatara. "And I think he might be right."
  13. [2016-04-06 13:22:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Get_Lost contemplates that. "another time? that's interesting.... it could be true"
  14. [2016-04-06 13:23:02] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mwana adds, "He thinks the Empress rules here because the Radiant Shield of Rasdon hasn't been built yet."
  15. [2016-04-06 13:23:09] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  16. [2016-04-06 13:24:01] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Noble_Heart looks up towards Mare-Do-Well, "We suspect that it is the nature of this place." She looks skywards, then at the surrounding, dead trees. "You are a ghost. Ghosts are created by healing megaspells. Healing is a form of life energy, like those seeds used to defeat the Mother of Balefire. This place? This place is dead."
  17. [2016-04-06 13:25:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"There are no living things here at all. Someone has stolen the sun-" she pauses and contemplates that with a frown, "why was the radiant shield of razda 'radiant'?" She shook her head to clear the thoughts away momentarily, "It is likely that we are the only truly living things in this place, which means we are also the only source of life magic."
  18. [2016-04-06 13:26:27] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"If you stray far, you may find your ghostly form consumed by the deadness of this place, as a ghoul would a place devoid of radiation."
  19. [2016-04-06 13:26:28] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  20. [2016-04-06 13:26:59] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright notes, "The history that survives from that time period is pretty scant."
  21. [2016-04-06 13:27:52] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"And that's just the pony history. The zebra history might not be there at all. Literal darkness and literate darkness aren't ontologically that far apart as far as history is concerned. Discord reigns in Equestria. The Basin is controlled by the Empress. And the Dragons rule over the rest of the zebra lands..."
  22. [2016-04-06 13:28:05] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright concludes, "...This time period has more darkness, cruelty, random chaotic nonsense, and hideous evil power than you can shake a stick at. We remember these times as times that we don't want to repeat, and little else."
  23. [2016-04-06 13:28:26] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  24. [2016-04-06 13:28:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3One by one, the group enter the darkened clearing. The darkness peels back, the clearing illuminated by blazing basins. There are cut stones and ancient building tools scattered about, as well as a few triangular tents. In the center of the clearing rises a massive stone obelisk, carved with runes. Paths of runic designs spread out from it like circuitry.
  25. [2016-04-06 13:29:05] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Golden_Dream slowly dawns with recognition. "... Ooooooh. So this is how we got it t' work." It remembered us. "... Well, this is fancy. We got to see it wrecked, now we get t' see it built."
  26. [2016-04-06 13:29:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright says, "I think I recognize this. We saw one. We saw a lot of them. This is part of the Radiant Shield of Rasdon. It's one of the nodes that comprised it."
  27. [2016-04-06 13:29:38] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright adds, "We could very well meet Rasdon, in the flesh."
  28. [2016-04-06 13:30:22] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  29. [2016-04-06 13:30:23] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mare-Do-Well 3offers, "I figure Jugeote and Kifaa ran into them while fleeing from the sea serpent or the ahools or something. Maybe these zebras saved them, and took them someplace safe." He looks to Noble_Heart and CopyCat. "Would explain why we haven't found them or their tag yet."
  30. [2016-04-06 13:30:32] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright says, "That's probably stretching the definition a bit. The Shield is a terrifyingly powerful weapon built to thwart a terrifyingly powerful spirit. It is weapon born of extremis. It and its creators should be treated with caution."
  31. [2016-04-06 13:30:45] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Noble_Heart nods her head. "That seems likely." She frowns at the prospect. "If the Spirit of Secrets is hiding them, then doubtless the tag would be hidden as well." She checked her PipBuck for any signs of it now that they were inside the Sphere of Secrecy.
  32. [2016-04-06 13:31:02] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mare-Do-Well pauses. "Oooor, less good scenerio, the Shield-maker zebras think they're spies for the Empress. And have them captured in a pit somewhere."
  33. [2016-04-06 13:31:14] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Golden_Dream starts to step forward. "No point in delaying meetin' 'em, then."
  34. [2016-04-06 13:31:14] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  35. [2016-04-06 13:33:25] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Fallout: Beyond Equestria, Session One Hundred and Seventy-Six: Interlude (Part 10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzLT6_TQmq8&feature=youtu.be&t=47s
  36. [2016-04-06 13:33:38] <Mare-Do-Well> 3--- Session Begins ---
  37. [2016-04-06 13:35:57] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Golden_Dream continues down the hallway. Without the neckerchief. Her neck felt naked. Get_Lost smiles and follows the others.
  38. [2016-04-06 13:36:39] <Mare-Do-Well> 3After more than an hour of walking, those with PipBucks suddenly pick up a signal.
  39. [2016-04-06 13:37:26] <Mare-Do-Well> 3[[ /Rainbow Connection/ Distress Beacon found. ]]
  40. [2016-04-06 13:41:39] * Mitzi plods along beside Golden_Dream with Hunter riding atop her large head. She keeps her nose I'm the air.
  41. [2016-04-06 13:43:08] * Golden_Dream groans. Okay, Jugeote better be /right around this goddamned corner, or else... Oh, hey. Distress signal. "Found 'em. She sets a marker and picks up her pace in that direction."
  42. [2016-04-06 13:43:32] <Golden_Dream> (Put that quotation mark where it belongs!)
  43. [2016-04-06 13:45:27] * Get_Lost is mostly folowing the others, letting the others do the scouting
  44. [2016-04-06 13:49:42] * CopyCat gasps as the 'Signal Located' message flashes across her HUD. "Aha! Is this our chance?" Then she says something a little more helpful. "Parlay's found the signal for me, too. They even renamed the broadcast so we couldn't possibly mistake it. Kiffa must be better at fiddling with pony tech than we thought." She had, of course, also taken off her Cultist Cloak to avoid making the wrong first impression. The
  45. [2016-04-06 13:49:42] * CopyCat high tech regal battle suit she was wearing would make quite an impression on its own. She'd even added her own fetching cape!
  46. [2016-04-06 13:53:04] * Shatara pokes his pipbuck to listen to the signal
  47. [2016-04-06 13:54:59] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Moving at a quicker pace, the group emerges in a cenote ringed with the structures of a small village of zebras, lit by burning sconces and braziers.
  48. [2016-04-06 13:55:56] * Mitzi sniffs around, unsure if she could tell the scent of their friend stripey ponies from the rest.
  49. [2016-04-06 13:57:34] * Golden_Dream checks her pipbuck again. "Don't talk to no one, don't touch no one, don't even look at no one if you can avoid it. More we fuck around, more th' present'll change on us when we get to it." She keeps her head buried in her pipbuck and follows the signal rigidly.
  50. [2016-04-06 14:01:37] * Bookwright "As long as we don't kill or unduly influence any major historical figures and-slash-or locations, we should probably be okay. I think. We're in the really rather unlit ages, after all. As much as I hate to erase history, it's probably a good thing this won't be recorded."
  51. [2016-04-06 14:03:50] * Get_Lost shrugs "it could be a different string..."
  52. [2016-04-06 14:05:29] * Golden_Dream rubs her eyelids. "I really don't wanna talk about th' logistics of time travel. More we think about it, th' more m' head starts t' ache n' my eyes start to get this weird pink haze to it."
  53. [2016-04-06 14:06:48] * Get_Lost "ok, let's not do risky things then."
  54. [2016-04-06 14:10:17] * Mitzi looks to Bookwright. She didn't fully understand the idea of time travel, or really anything magical in nature, but she still had curiosities. "So yu been here befur?" She asks to start.
  55. [2016-04-06 14:13:46] * Bookwright "No, but I can say with certainty that we've been here /after./ "
  56. [2016-04-06 14:14:50] * Mitzi blinks. "Eef yu wur befur, den eeznt dat already happened?"
  57. [2016-04-06 14:16:23] * Mare-Do-Well stares at the tribal village nested in the hole in the darkness. "Okay, I'll admit, I feel a whole lot better here than I did most everywhere else. I think Noble_Heart is right."
  58. [2016-04-06 14:17:00] * Get_Lost "so... what's the plan?"
  59. [2016-04-06 14:24:31] * CopyCat nods at Mare-Do-Well. "I feel more at ease here, too. The oppressive draining presence is far less potent here."
  60. [2016-04-06 14:24:35] * Golden_Dream keeps following the signal. "You're doin' it. Keep doin' it, yer' doin' awesome."
  61. [2016-04-06 14:25:49] <Mare-Do-Well> The approach leads to a spiked wooden gate guarded by two zebras.
  62. [2016-04-06 14:26:53] * Golden_Dream huffs. "Well, Copycat. Yer' up. Do yer' magic and get 'em t' step aside."
  63. [2016-04-06 14:27:12] * CopyCat turns her helmeted head towards Get_Lost. "The plan is to follow the signal and try not to rile up the locals. If we have to interact with them we can pretend to be tourists. It's the perfect cover for anything foolish or culturally insensitive we might do."
  64. [2016-04-06 14:28:08] * Get_Lost nodnods. i like easy plans
  65. [2016-04-06 14:28:26] <Pony_27461> Mitzi raises an eyebrow at CopyCat. "Wut eez tourists?"
  66. [2016-04-06 14:40:00] * CopyCat approaches the zebra guards at the gate and dips her head in a respectful bow. "Greetings," she says in the (modern?) zebra tongue. "We are travellers from a far away land who are seeking two friends of ours who we believe to be here."
  67. [2016-04-06 14:43:49] * Noble_Heart stands tall and proud near CopyCat, letting the other alicorn do the talking.
  68. [2016-04-06 14:53:57] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebras immediately jump, moving shields protectively and pointing spears at CopyCat. One of them starts banging an alarm with her tail.
  69. [2016-04-06 14:55:13] * Get_Lost "show them the money, it always works"
  70. [2016-04-06 14:57:39] * Bookwright "Uhhhh, shit. Shit. They think she's Nightmare Moon. Oh geez we're idiots."
  71. [2016-04-06 14:59:29] * Mitzi raises an eyebrow at Bookwright. "Why dey tink dat?"
  72. [2016-04-06 15:00:54] * Bookwright "Because she's tall and has a horn and wings."
  73. [2016-04-06 15:00:55] * Noble_Heart frowns at Bookwright's assertion. "Is this not before the era of Nightmare Moon? We are fairly certain that she did not come about until some time after the defeat of Discord."
  74. [2016-04-06 15:01:20] * Bookwright "er... yeah. I guess. Nevermind."
  75. [2016-04-06 15:02:02] * CopyCat turns on Bookwright, the tone of her voice giving away how immaturely huffy she was behind her helmet. "You're the one who told me to say I was a Princess whenever someone asked."
  76. [2016-04-06 15:02:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The other zebra shouts something in Jadi to CopyCat.
  77. [2016-04-06 15:02:37] * Bookwright "Whatever. They think you're bad news, and that's bad."
  78. [2016-04-06 15:02:59] * Bookwright "It would be good if you didn't do anything bad."
  79. [2016-04-06 15:06:05] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat finds she can understand Jadi reasonably well, although there are particulars she does not grasp.
  80. [2016-04-06 15:06:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Most zebras she has known speak a creole language that mixes Imperial and Jadi tongues. This is the first she has heard pure, original Jadi.
  81. [2016-04-06 15:06:16] * Get_Lost "maybe we can give them some gift and they will reconsider the situation?"
  82. [2016-04-06 15:06:50] <Mare-Do-Well> 3One word, however, is recognizable by several: "Sombra"
  83. [2016-04-06 15:08:21] <Mare-Do-Well> 3From what CopyCat can glean, the zebra guards seem to think she is here to collect tribute of some sort for him.
  84. [2016-04-06 15:08:59] * Noble_Heart looks towards the zebras and frowns, her ears flicking slightly at the prospect as she contemplates what's going on.
  85. [2016-04-06 15:11:01] * CopyCat tells her friends, "They seem to think we're here to collect tribute for someone named 'Sombra'. Me in particular. They speak a similar language to the zebra tongue I recognise, but there are significant differences."
  86. [2016-04-06 15:12:39] * Noble_Heart ruffles her feathers at that prospect. "Sombra..." She frowns, that name sounded familiar but she wasn't certain why.
  87. [2016-04-06 15:17:53] * Mitzi tilts her head. She didn't know anypony named Sombra... did she? It felt like trying to remember a fairy tale from when she was a pup.
  88. [2016-04-06 15:21:33] * Shatara hmms. "Wasn't Sombra the bad dude that enslaved the crystal empire? And was defeated by some ancient megaspell or something?"
  89. [2016-04-06 15:22:26] * Get_Lost "i'm not sure, story is not my field"
  90. [2016-04-06 15:23:30] * Noble_Heart frowns and nods her head. "We believe that's right. Was there not mention of it when we traveled through the Crystal Empire on our way to the zebra lands?" She contemplates, but can't remember for certain. "In any case, this is likely something to do with his presence there. Perhaps you should explain that that is not our purpose and we are merely looking for lost friends?"
  91. [2016-04-06 15:23:30] * Noble_Heart She looks between CopyCat and Mwana hopefully.
  92. [2016-04-06 15:25:15] * Golden_Dream looks at Mwana. C'mon, sweetie. Do it for Goldy!
  93. [2016-04-06 15:26:22] * CopyCat 'ooohs' as Shatara reveals the mystery king of shadows. She turns back to the guards and continues in Imperial/Jadi "We totally aren't with that icky Sombra guy. What a dweeb! We're just trying to find our lost friends." She points a hoof at her helmet. "Look at this face. Is this the face of a mare who'd lie to you? I think not!"
  94. [2016-04-06 15:28:53] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mwana frowns. Then looks to the other pirates. Gundi walks up and speaks to Shatara. "Perhaps I should talk to them?"
  95. [2016-04-06 15:31:05] * Golden_Dream blinks. Oh. Right. "Copycat, take off yer' helmet."
  96. [2016-04-06 15:33:14] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Other zebras are now approaching from beyond the gate, drawn by the alarm. At the head of the group is a shaman. He wears the skinned snout of an ahool as a headdress, gem-encrusted neckbands... and about his neck is the Amulet of Atonement.
  97. [2016-04-06 15:36:08] * Noble_Heart watches as the zebra shaman approaches. "Rasdan, We presume."
  98. [2016-04-06 15:36:21] * CopyCat turns to Golden_Dream. "Oh! That might help, sure." She then paws ineffectually at her own helmet for several moments. "Ahh, Get_Lost? Could you help me take this off, please?"
  99. [2016-04-06 15:36:48] * Golden_Dream points at herself. "Goldy." She points at the shaman. "Rasdon." She points inside. "Jugeote?"
  100. [2016-04-06 15:37:12] * Mitzi nods approvingly at the quality of the genstones adorned by the shaman. "Gud taste."
  101. [2016-04-06 15:37:16] * Shatara tilts his head at Gundi. "What do you plan to tell them?"
  102. [2016-04-06 15:42:11] * Get_Lost "sure, it's quite easy." the mare pokes at a couple of parts ofthe armor ad the helmet detaches.
  103. [2016-04-06 15:45:52] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman orders the opening of the gate. Two zebras move to work the cranks, pulling taunt ropes of thick twine that slowly draw the gate open.
  104. [2016-04-06 15:47:25] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman steps through. "Step forward," he calls to CopyCat in Jadi. "We shall see if the shadows hide in you."
  105. [2016-04-06 15:48:29] * CopyCat pulls off her helmet, letting her aquamarine mane cascade down her shoulders and neck. "Ahh, that did it!" She aims a Winning™ smile at the guards... then at the shaman. "Oh-kay!" She steps forward.
  106. [2016-04-06 15:51:49] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra shaman opens a bag and dips a hoof in it. When it withdraws it, his hoof is covered in a thick yellow oil. He reaches up and smears the oil across CopyCat's face.
  107. [2016-04-06 15:52:07] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat begins to glow.
  108. [2016-04-06 15:52:40] * Shatara blinks. "Sooo...glowing is the opposite of shadows, right?"
  109. [2016-04-06 15:52:58] * Bookwright "hopefully?"
  110. [2016-04-06 15:53:01] * Mitzi tilts her head at the zebra's actions. "Wut's dat stripey ponee dueen?"
  111. [2016-04-06 15:53:49] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The other zebras gasp. The shaman steps back, looking grim. "They are like the others," he says. "They are not of the Empress, nor of Her Shadow Pony ally. They are... displaced."
  112. [2016-04-06 15:54:44] * Mitzi nods sagely. "We eez not frum here."
  113. [2016-04-06 15:54:45] * Noble_Heart tilts her head to one side as CopyCat glows. "We believe it is likely a magical attempt to discern one's inner nature. Looking for those possessed by the magic of Sombra or the Empress, We would assume."
  114. [2016-04-06 15:55:00] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman turns back to CopyCat. "Why are you here? Are you cowards too?"
  115. [2016-04-06 15:57:55] * CopyCat giggles at the glowing oil that smeared her face. "That tickles!" Then, still giggling, she answers, "Oh no no, we're here to bring the cowards back. We're the rescue party!"
  116. [2016-04-06 16:02:50] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman considers that, then motions. "Follow. We will take you to the cowards."
  117. [2016-04-06 16:02:53] * Shatara frowns a little at the 'cowards' remark. Sadly, it...wasn't entirely an innacurate description of the pirate bands; seeking to flee to another world rather than fight for the one they were born in.
  118. [2016-04-06 16:03:45] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman turns, striding back through the gate. Armed tribal warriors line up on both sides of the path, waiting.
  119. [2016-04-06 16:06:56] * Bookwright looks uneasily at the large numbers of well-armed warriors. "Uh... Ladies first?"
  120. [2016-04-06 16:07:06] * CopyCat trots along merrily at the head of her procession of friends (plus the pirate zebras who were with them and fitted various descriptions of 'friends')
  121. [2016-04-06 16:07:34] * Bookwright follows CopyCat closely, eager to put distance between himself and pointy things on sticks.
  122. [2016-04-06 16:09:13] * CopyCat thinks Bookwright's anti-pointy-thing policy is a bit weird. He carries one around on his head at all times!
  123. [2016-04-06 16:14:27] * Shatara moves with the group, placing his confidence in his own pointy things, and pointy thing projectors. At least until he remembers that using them could end the known world. Shit.
  124. [2016-04-06 16:15:30] * Noble_Heart takes a point near the head of the group, following the zebra shaman without too much concern.
  125. [2016-04-06 16:18:50] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra warriors fall in alongside and behind the group.
  126. [2016-04-06 16:20:56] <Mare-Do-Well> 3There is much staring, both from the warriors and from the townsfolk as the group is lead through the village. Everywhere, zebras stop what they are doing to watch. CopyCat -- with her wings and horn and magically powered armor -- seems to get the most stares, but Noble_Heart and Get_Lost also draw great attention.
  127. [2016-04-06 16:23:33] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The village looks like a warcamp; Bookwright has unpleasant flashes to when the tribes in Gaia Valley would prepare for an attack... or to attack others.
  128. [2016-04-06 16:23:48] * Mitzi rubs her chin at the mention of Sombra again. Something clicks and she looks to Bookwright as they walk. "Eez dey talkeen about Black Heart?"
  129. [2016-04-06 16:24:26] * Bookwright shrugs. "I dunno."
  130. [2016-04-06 16:24:39] <Mare-Do-Well> 3One of the zebras cries out and makes a frightened sign in the air with a forehoof as Mare-Do-Well walks by.
  131. [2016-04-06 16:32:04] * Mitzi lumbers over to Noble_Heart. "Whu eez Sombra?"
  132. [2016-04-06 16:33:14] * Golden_Dream moves like she's trying to dodge something she's not sure's coming. Every step is cautious and planted.
  133. [2016-04-06 16:34:14] * Noble_Heart looks towards Mitzi and frowns. "He was the ruler of the Crystal Empire long ago, well now We suppose, but long ago to Us." She scowled slightly at the problems with temporal denotation. "In any case, he was banished or defeated, though We do not know the details of how, at some point."
  134. [2016-04-06 16:35:34] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The guards eye Noble_Heart and Mitzi, recognizing the name Sombra when it is used.
  135. [2016-04-06 16:37:44] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman stops. "Before we proceed further, you must all be marked." He begins moving amongst the group, smearing the yellow oil on each of them. As each pony and zebra is marked, they glow faintly just as CopyCat had done. The shaman grimly nods each time and moves to the next.
  136. [2016-04-06 16:38:12] * Mitzi thinks a moment. "Dere eez old storee told tu puppies. Uv ponee dat haz nutheen pretty inside." She stops as the shaman reaches her, looking at the goop quizically.
  137. [2016-04-06 16:39:00] <Mare-Do-Well> 3He pauses when he reaches Shatara, seeming to consider the griffin. Then shrugs and marks along both sides of Shatara's beak. He seems pleased when Shatara glows as well.
  138. [2016-04-06 16:39:51] <Mare-Do-Well> 3He then stops and stares at Mitzi.
  139. [2016-04-06 16:39:53] * Shatara responds with a friendly but probably too toothy grin.
  140. [2016-04-06 16:40:15] * Golden_Dream raises an eyebrow. She hoped that her eye wouldn't mark her as pitch black or some shit. Although, she kinda stood in anticipation on how the shaman would react to Mare-Do-Well.
  141. [2016-04-06 16:40:25] * Noble_Heart frowns slightly. "We have seen Heartless. Though We doubt that they were quite as Sombra was."
  142. [2016-04-06 16:42:20] * Mitzi stares back at the shaman. She glances back to Noble_Heart and shakes her head. "Dey call him Black Heart, ur da Emptee Ponee. Ponees steal ur homes, but he stole all da crystals fur thousands uv moons. Hounds tell dere puppies he comes tu steal dem eef dey misbehave."
  143. [2016-04-06 16:42:48] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman motions to one of the warriors, then jabs his forehoof painfully into the warrior's spear, drawing blood. He brushes the blood seeping from the wound across the Amulet of Atonement. The star sapphire glows softly.
  144. [2016-04-06 16:43:33] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"You are not a spirit," he says to Mitzi. "What manner of creature are you?
  145. [2016-04-06 16:43:57] * Noble_Heart tilts her head curiously as she observes the shaman's actions. "We believe that is likely the same. He was renowned for his desire for gemstones, and domination for all of the Crystal Empire for centuries."
  146. [2016-04-06 16:43:59] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat translates.
  147. [2016-04-06 16:45:58] * Mitzi looks intrigued by the notion of the ponies having the same stories about one of the monsters hellhound puppies were told about. She looks back to the shaman. "Uh'm a Hell-" she pauses a moment. "Diamond Dog." She points to a diamond amongst his jewels as if that would help get the point across.
  148. [2016-04-06 17:01:41] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman looks to the others, unsure of what to make of the giant creature. After a few moments, he tries smearing the yellow oil on Mitzi. The glow is noticeably fainter, but of the same coloration. He stares a bit more, then moves on to Golden_Dream.
  149. [2016-04-06 17:02:12] * Mitzi raises the paw smeared with oil and sniffs at it
  150. [2016-04-06 17:02:37] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The oil smells acrid and herbal.
  151. [2016-04-06 17:02:51] * Golden_Dream stares with uneven eyes, looking a bit anxious, and a bit bemused. "Look, jus' sayin', I ain't interstin'. Go see m' buddy, Get_Lost if y' wanna see some fireworks."
  152. [2016-04-06 17:02:59] * Mitzi wrinkles her nose.
  153. [2016-04-06 17:04:33] <Mare-Do-Well> 3When the shaman reaches Mare-Do-Well, Rainbow Dash leans back worriedly. "Er...." But the shaman is apparently used to hesitation and pays it no mind. However, unlike everyone else, when the yellow oil is smeared on her, she doesn't glow at all.
  154. [2016-04-06 17:06:09] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman takes a few steps back, his eyes wide. "She is a golem?" he says... or, at least, that is the closest word that CopyCat can translate.
  155. [2016-04-06 17:10:10] * Bookwright "She's not a golem. She's a friend."
  156. [2016-04-06 17:11:15] * Shatara nods in agreement, not really sure how to explain their corporeal goast frend.
  157. [2016-04-06 17:11:34] * Golden_Dream chimes in. "Told y' she'd blow their mind. Jus' tell 'em she's a ghost made solid."
  158. [2016-04-06 17:11:45] * Mare-Do-Well 3offers, "uhhh, sure?"
  159. [2016-04-06 17:12:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mwana cautions against that. "I'm not sure we are far enough back in time for necromancy to not invoke panic."
  160. [2016-04-06 17:14:15] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mwana frowns. "I can't remember if the first fall of Roam was before or after the Age of Dragons."
  161. [2016-04-06 17:15:04] * Mare-Do-Well 3says, "But I'm pretty sure the destruction of the First City was long before it."
  162. [2016-04-06 17:15:13] <Mare-Do-Well> 3[[redact]]
  163. [2016-04-06 17:15:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mwana says, "But I'm pretty sure the destruction of the First City was long before it."
  164. [2016-04-06 17:17:17] * Golden_Dream shrugs. "Then tell 'em she's a life spirit revenant made solid. Sound right, anyway."
  165. [2016-04-06 17:17:40] * Golden_Dream looks at Mare-Do-Well. "And, bonus, it's even more right."
  166. [2016-04-06 17:20:24] * Mare-Do-Well 3smiles wryly and quotes Fluttershy. "yay."
  167. [2016-04-06 17:36:47] * Mitzi tries to wipe off the goop
  168. [2016-04-06 17:47:25] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mitzi mostly succeeds in just smearing it around. The glow around each pony (as well as Shatara and Mitzi) has already faded, but the goop remains.
  169. [2016-04-06 18:02:14] <Mare-Do-Well> 3--- End of Session ---
