FoE RPG G0 - #044 Salvage Farm: Treasures and Mementos

[21:41]<LuckyLeaf>	Group 0: *Epitaph* - Session #45 starts now
[21:41]<LuckyLeaf>	===========================================
[21:50]<LuckyLeaf>	It's impressive what ponies can do when they are determined and united. Word spreads fast and before you know, the freed slaves banded together to build a gallows. About a third of them gather around the collared Gabrielle. The other mercenaries who worked for the slavers get restless. One of them approaches Hawkeye. "Our business here is done, can we go?"
[21:53]?	Firefly whistles at the insides of the griffin bots. "Ooooh... shiny..."
[21:53]<LuckyLeaf>	Meanwhile Doodad tastes bitter defeat on the back of Sotho. He avoids Tamara's eyes, keeping his scornful ones on Knick Knack, who grows more and more uncomfortable
[21:54]?	Hawkeye shrugs. "Well, Ah was going to wait until Miz Lace got the money sorted for y'all to get paid," the sniper says. "Let me go fetch that for y'all and then by all means, get gone. Unless some of y'all would like to negotiate a contract with them Mudponies, but..." She looks over at the mudponies. "They're a mite overexcited right now. Might be best if y'all came back and offered yer services...
[21:54]?	Hawkeye ...in a week or so."
[21:54]<LuckyLeaf>	Firefly and Ignis are presented with a vast collection of belongings and utilities from the dead cybergriffon, as well as a locked safe
[21:55]?	Ignis eyes go wide. "We've struck the motherlode..."
[21:55]?	Firefly being an inquisitive filly, Firefly's eyes lock on the safe. "I need... my assistant!" The filly flies out to find Royal_Lace.
[21:56]?	Royal_Lace Royal Lace stands by Tamara continueing to tally up suplies the newly freed scarp yard will need to thrive as a home for the now ex-slaves. "So you plan to clear out the surroundign buildings in the area of raiders to house the ponies here? sounds like a big project"
[21:57]?	Hawkeye turns about to go find the group's de facto face, and notices the blur of Firefly zipping past. She follows the filly, assuming that they're going the same place.
[21:58]?	Firefly hovers near Royal_Lace. "Miss Assistant Pretty Pony! Could you please come and open up a safe?"
[21:59]?	Ignis on the meantime, uses his common sense to attempt to open said safe using the very same key he unlocked the bots with.
[21:59]?	Royal_Lace looks back to firefly, "Assistant? oh, a safe you say?". Looking back to Tamara she smiles, "Pardon me for a moment wont you? Im sure this wont take to long to clear up, I do hope you dont mind".
[21:59]<LuckyLeaf>	Unfortunately this time the key is of no use.
[22:00]<Ignis>	Me sighs and throws the key to a corner....bummers.
[22:00]?	Royal_Lace looks to Firefly, "now where is this safe?"
[22:00]?	Hawkeye follows in behind and coughs into a hoof. "Them mercs need paid, then they'll be out of our manes," she says. "Anypony object to me payin' them off? No sense making enemies, right?"
[22:00]?	Firefly nods and lands next to the unicorn. "This way! We found bunches of stuff in the robots... one of the books was really weird looking." She trots back toward the garage.
[22:02]<LuckyLeaf>	Ignis notices some wires going into the safe.
[22:02]?	Royal_Lace smiles, "Books? oh that dose sound nice. Lead the way Firefly". Following the filly she nods to Hawkeye, "Sounds like a plan to me, though Tamara may have need for them with clearing out the area around the scrap yard for safe use by the ponies here"
[22:03]?	Ignis checks where the wires lead to...oh, the mystery.
[22:03]?	Firefly makes her way back to the garage, pointing at the dragon with the safe and the odd book. "See? Weird, right?"
[22:03]?	Hawkeye nods. "Ah told 'em as much, but they're a mite skittish at the moment, seein' some of their buddies get shredded, and then that we're plannin' on... you know what, nevermind. Ah'll just take these for now." Hawkeye scoops up a portion of their sorted lootage of the compound and heads back out toward the mercs.
[22:03]<LuckyLeaf>	They just go to the main structure of the griffbot.
[22:04]?	Ignis hops over to the terminal and attempts to remotely open the safe via the bot's console commands.
[22:05]?	Royal_Lace waves to Ignis as she trots up to the safe, tapping it with a hoof. "Yes well lets see here, I dont think it should be to difficult". Levitating out a bobby pin she smiles to Firefly, "Lets give this a shot, shall we dear?"
[22:06]<Ignis>	Me raises a claw as he sees the mare approaching. "I don't think its a good idea you go fiddling with it just yet...its wired to the bot."
[22:06]?	Firefly nods to Royal_Lace and then waves her forehooves at the safe in a mysterious fashion. "Open Says-a-me!"
[22:07]?	Royal_Lace looks to Ignis, "Wired to the bot? hummm... "
[22:07]?	Hawkeye trots back out to the mercenaries and begins distributing the caps as appropriate to the duties ACTUALLY done. "Here y'all are," she says. "And for you... and you... Sorry it came down to this, but that's the merc business. And for you... and you... Hey, at least y'all got paid, right?" She gives the mercs a crooked smile. "And any battle y'all can walk away from, as they say..."
[22:08]?	Ignis shrugs and keeps trying to get something of use from the terminal, his claws mashing keys relentlessly. "Maybe its a self-protection system or a powered lock..."
[22:09]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamara clarifies her plan to Sotho, Wintergreen and the mudponies since the others left. "For now we need to get better equipped. Our numbers are enough to secure a small area close to this location if we have proper weaponry. A full scale takeover will need more assistance, so that is in the plans."
[22:10]?	Sotho nods a bit. "Do you have any idea where we might be able to find you all some weapons? The most we have here is the weapons we got from the mercs and slavers here."
[22:10]?	Royal_Lace looks to firefly before waving her hoof, "Firefly could you take a few steps back while I try this? Just in case its dangerous in any way"
[22:10]<SpiritOfFate>	As far as Royal_Lace can tell, those are wires.
[22:12]?	Firefly looks at Royal_Lace oddly, but does take a few steps back. She waves her hooves at the safe and her muzzle scrunches as she concentrates. "Open Says-A-Me!"
[22:14]<SpiritOfFate>	"We can repurpose the weaponry of the mercenaries. As for more, it's something we need to figure out, because the local gun runners are in bed with the slavers." Tamara says.
[22:14]?	Sotho nods a bit. "Well what if you had a third party to buy from the local gun runners?" He asked.
[22:15]?	Hawkeye finishes paying off the mercs and salutes the bunch. "All right. G'won, git. Any of y'all that want more coin, foller me," she says, and beckons toward Tamara, Sotho, and Wintergreen.
[22:15]?	Wintergreen shrugs. "If we paid them enough, I bet they wouldn't mind trading in secret."
[22:18]<SpiritOfFate>	The griffin salute Hawkeye and fly away fast. Jamal's team remains, however.
[22:20]?	Hawkeye turns to Jamal. "Well. Ah hope that don't come back an' bite me in the haunches. Ah've dealt with some mercs who don't shed a tear 'bout takin' a dump on a contract, but griffons are s'posed to be a bit better about that, right?" The sniper looks a little nervous. "Ah don't want them turnin' around and rainin' fire on these nice folks just b'cause Ah tried to play fair an' square with 'em..."
[22:20]?	Sotho nods a bit. "But that would require caps we do not have."
[22:22]?	Wintergreen gestures to the compound. "It -is- a scrapyard, after all. The slaves can become employees; the quarters can be refurbished, and then caps come in with the scrap."
[22:23]?	Jamal laughs. "Taking a dump on a contract? Is that bad? Because we just did that for you ponies." He grimaces. "Better figure out the fines before they come back for us."
[22:23]<Sotho>	"True, those who do stay around." He points out. "Some will obviously not stay."
[22:24]?	Wintergreen nods. "Still, as it becomes more habitable, more will come."
[22:26]?	Hawkeye shrugs. "Y'all saved your friends and your comrades from ALL y'all gettin shot," Hawkeye says. "Ah count that as a win, and it let the rest of 'em finish their job proper. Now. About Gabrielle." Her expression hardens. "Ah hope y'all ain't planning on protecting her. She's gonna get what's been comin' to her for far too long."
[22:28]<Sotho>	"Yes I assume." He smiles. "We can try our best to help supply you all. We have our own issues as well of course/
[22:34]?	Royal_Lace leans heavily on the handle to the safe, "come on, I know I heard you click, what are you rusted? give it up safe!"
[22:35]<SpiritOfFate>	He shrugs. "We barely know her. And I'm not feeling like getting our butts kicked again." Jamal grows sour. "Such is the merc life. Still better than growing mold in a desk job."
[22:37]?	Hawkeye tips her hat. "Y'all can say that again. Ain't much fun gettin' shot, but it's less fun wastin' away behind a store counter." She sits down and waits for the freed ponies to finish their macabre work.
[22:39]<SpiritOfFate>	"We are grateful for your assistance. But keep in mind the gun runners also know about you, we got some intel on that." Tamara says
[22:45]?	Firefly looks over at Royal_Lace. "Miss Pretty Pony? Can I try?"
[22:46]?	Royal_Lace huffs as she battles the acursed safe! "I would appreciate it Firefly, this is the most stuborn safe door I have ever battled! I know its unlockd but it dosent seem to want to open up!"
[22:46]?	Sotho nods. "Well yeah I expect so. But how can they cash in on a contract when the prizes are more than likely in our possession?"
[22:46]?	Firefly nods and walks over. "Well, maybe it's stuck? I can fix that!"
[22:47]<SpiritOfFate>	The safe clicks open, revealing the cybergriff's treasure. 2127 bits, 43 pre-war bits, 3 emeralds (rarity 4, beauty 5), 1 diamond (rarity 7, beauty 15), 2 rubies (rarity 5, beauty 8), 3 bottles of gemstone dust (rarity 1, beauty 1), two worn steel nuts, one large hole saw blade and a red ribbon with a blue pinion.
[22:48]?	Ignis leans over the safe. "Soooo...that's where he hid the munchies...sly griffin..." The dragon snerks.
[22:48]?	Wintergreen shrugs at Sotho. "We'll figure it out with the others."
[22:49]<Sotho>	"Do you know where our companions are?" He asks Tamara.
[22:50]?	Royal_Lace looks inside, "Oh, well the caps will help out here... also I think the zebras would appreciate some of those gems".
[22:51]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamara shakes her head. "Nope, they left in a hurry. But anyway, keep in mind somepony else could pony it up. Our best plan might actually be getting in their good graces so they won't work against us."
[22:51]?	Sotho nods. "How do we do that exactly?"
[22:52]?	Firefly has eyes the sighs of dinner plates as she looks at the pile of caps, bits, and gems. "Ooooh... pretty..."
[22:52]?	Ignis licks his teeth. "I'll help myself of a few, or else OUR zebra is just going to squander it away to every supernatural entity."
[22:53]?	Firefly looks over at Ignis. "But... Liberty Dream really helps!"
[22:54]<SpiritOfFate>	"There is only one language they understand and it is caps. So until we can strike a deal we might be better off not calling much more attention. Also, we need to review the contracts this pony had so that we can start doing business."
[22:55]<SpiritOfFate>	Tammara says
[22:55]?	Sotho nods. "So then, go inside and look over DooDad's contracts.
[22:55]?	Hawkeye wanders over and sits down next to Buck, silently.
[22:55]?	Royal_Lace turns and levitates the bag of caps to Firefly, "That she dose dear and Im sure that once Mr. Ignis takes a few for himself he will be so kind as to share teh rest with the zebras. Otherwise we may have to go aaaaaall the way back to their village to help them out again". she said with clear emphasis to Ignis, "Anyway will you be a dear and fly this to Tamara?"
[22:55]?	Ignis stares back at the filly...damned be cuteness blackmail! "Errr....Firefly, there's plenty to go by, I just need to eat a few..." He smiles, making a "little bit" gesture
[22:56]?	Wintergreen shrugs. "We're not doing anything else. Why don't we three look over them?"
[22:57]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck gazes at the distance, lost in thought. The gallows are almost complete. While the collar prevents a proper hanging, it makes a fitting stage for her execution. Gabrielle struggles, trying to free herself but it doesn't work.
[22:58]?	Firefly takes the bag of caps. "Ok!" She looks over at Ignis. "Well... I suppose a little won't hurt..." She nods and flutters up, hugging the dragon. "Sorry if I was mean." She darts away to deliver the bag of caps.
[22:58]?	Sotho nods. "Let's go and check over them then Wintergreen, Tamara?"
[23:01]?	Royal_Lace watches firefly go and looks up at the giant griffin bot, whisteling as she takes in its size before commenting out loud to Ignis, "Now that. is one intimidating peice of machinery. Its creator... I wonder what he was going to use it for even? He already had more than enough defenses here". Pausing she looks outside at the freed slaves, "or rather, I guess he diddnt after all, heh"
[23:02]?	Ignis nods, nods, hugging the filly. "Its alright kiddo....guess...its just been a while since I didn't had any." The dragon sighs. "Its...a dragon thing."
[23:03]?	Firefly flies next to Tamara and best foalsitter and Mr. Sotho. "Hi! I'm supposed to take this to you, miss!" The filly is hovering in the air, carrying a large bag of jingling caps.
[23:03]?	Sotho blinks at Firefly. "Where... did you find those?"
[23:03]<Firefly>	"In a safe!" The filly sticks her tongue out at Sotho. "There were pretty gems in there too. Mr. Ignis is watching those."
[23:04]?	Wintergreen blinks. "Huh." She chuckles. "Just what we needed."
[23:04]<SpiritOfFate>	"Thank you, filly." Tamara picks up the caps. She turns to one of the mudponies and orders her to add it to the inventory list
[23:04]?	Sotho nods a bit. "Well, just make sure he doesn't take them all, they could be useful." He says. "And of course our zebra friends can get a good ammount."
[23:05]?	Firefly nods. "The diamond was really, really pretty... and big, too!" The filly nods to Tamara. "You're welcome!" She flies back to the garage.
[23:05]?	Royal_Lace trots over to the other goods found inside the griffbots and nods appreciatively before walking back outside to Find Tamara, selecting a few books to store in her bags before leaving. Approching shortly after Firefly she smiles, "I trust those will help"
[23:05]?	Sotho blinks a few times. "D-diamond?" He asks.
[23:06]<SpiritOfFate>	"It's a great assistance to start a proper economy here."
[23:08]?	Wintergreen chuckles and trots after Firefly, gesturing for Sotho to follow.
[23:08]?	Sotho follows Wintergreen, nodding a bit.
[23:09]?	Ignis sighs, tapping his own lap. "Stroke of luck, I guess...your plan did worked, even if...well, it wasn't aesthethically nice on the end." the dragon shrugs. "Either way, its done...and with that thing off the field, the casualty list is low as ever...gladly so."
[23:10]?	Firefly makes it back to the garage. Her saddle bags are off, and sticking out of them is a copy of the Wasteland Survival Guide, TLC Squared: “Tender Loving Care for Totally Lost Causes", and a few magazines. She is currently working on resizing one of the jumpsuits to fit her.
[23:11]?	Sotho makes his way into the garage as well. "Hello." He waves lightly, smiling
[23:12]?	Royal_Lace looks back to Tamara, "So, do you have anything you would like me to take care of in town? Like I mentioned earlier I was planning a quick trip, I would be more than happy to take care of any errands you may need while im there such as alterting the good doctor there of our success"
[23:12]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck nuzzles Hawkeye. "Thanks for being here."
[23:14]?	Ignis grunts something and looks off from the safe full of shinies, instead picking a couple of books about guns, deciding to browse the one about conventional firearms till Sotho done his fleecing. "You know, one of them bots was loaded with a cooking aparel...might be useful to you, since you're the one who usually cooks."
[23:14]?	Hawkeye nods. "Yer sister would have wanted someone to be here for ya since she can't," she says softly. "Ain't a place I like to put myself, having somepony else's life in muh hooves. Too easy to slip into gettin' used to it, and then Ah become just like her."
[23:14]?	Sotho smiles happily. "Oh really? That might indeed become useful!"
[23:15]?	Wintergreen trots over to Ignis to get a look at the shinies. "Wow," she raises an eyebrow. "How much do you think those are worth?"
[23:15]?	Ignis snorts unamusedly. "Probably one day or two worth of favors from spirits."
[23:15]<SpiritOfFate>	"We need medical supplies. Our group opened the food warehouse and we can live on that for a while." Tamara says. "But we need at least bandages to care for the wounded here."
[23:17]?	Wintergreen nods with a smile. "Good. I'm sure we'll need them."
[23:17]?	Sotho rolls his eyes. "It might be worth much much more than that." He says as he looks among the cooking supplies
[23:17]?	Ignis flips a page. "Maybe if it were on the hooves of another zebra..."
[23:18]?	Royal_Lace nods, "Well I can get a listing for the coast of that if you like or take some caps to bring back whatever I can lay hooves on"
[23:18]?	Hawkeye turns to Buck. "Say, while we're waiting. Ah coulda swore Ah saw a glowy thing out by that puddle of waste when Ah was scoutin' this place with Miz Lace last week. Wanna take a look-see?"
[23:18]?	Sotho glares at Ignis. "Are you insunuating I am not good enough to help us?"
[23:18]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck looks away. "...maybe I shouldn't be the one to do it." His eyes lower move to the trigger.
[23:19]?	Hawkeye shakes her head. "Ah don't wanna deny you closure, Buck," Hawkeye says as she turns toward the waste pile. "But knowin' y'all killed someone who couldn't fight back don't go away. Not soon, not never. Ah don't think yer sister would want you livin' your life with blood-soaked hooves. Or horn." She grimaces as she remembers Buck's deadly horn jousting.
[23:20]?	Ignis lowers his cover a bit, just to match the other's gaze. "No, I'm just insinuating you're a bit too loose-hoofed on mananging that particular resource, Sotho. As for your skills, you've proven them already."
[23:20]?	Sotho looks to Ignis. "I simply helped the spirits that needed it. And what would you do with them?"
[23:21]?	Firefly climbs out of her armor and weapons and slips into the jumpsuit. Its baggy in places, and the holes for her wings need a little bit of darning, but it works for now. She pulls out some the schematics, looking at the griffin bot and thinking.
[23:21]?	Sotho meanwhile is also looking over the food
[23:22]?	Ignis just stares at the zebra for a while. "I could go for one...as for the rest, they are gemstones, worth a small fortune on their own..." The dragon remarks. "Field gear is not without its costs, plus we could use an influx of cash for unexpected situations...we might need to buy ponies out or bribe our way through...buy passage or...whenever...something which doesn't involve spirits in no shape whatsoever."
[23:24]?	Sotho gives a small nod. "I agree with you on that. So I suggest we keep the diamond for a situation we will need it. We should have neither one of us hold it. Maybe Royal_Lace would be better fitting?
[23:24]?	Ignis taps his chin. "I concur." The dragon gives a curteous nod to it.
[23:25]?	Firefly starts writing down everything she'll need to fix up the big robot.
[23:26]<Ignis>	"Just don't try to please every spirit, will ya? If I knew any better, I'd say that's what got ya into your predictment with that one..." the dragon comments. "They aren't any better or worse than us, you gotta accept that there are going to be some disagreements here and there, if you side with one, other will be against you and so on..."
[23:27]?	Sotho nods. "I don't try to please every spirit. There are obiviously ones I deam as evil and need to be stopped. What we offered Avarice was  second chance."
[23:28]?	Ignis hums. "Yep, just sayin'."
[23:29]?	Firefly looks up from the schematic she is reading. "Yup! We'll punch all the bad spirits!"
[23:30]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck gets up. "Just wrap it up. Right." The gallows are ready. "And then we go investigate."
[23:30]?	Ignis looks over at some of the clothes. "Aren't these Chroma's?" The dragon asks, parsing the pegasi medical clothings
[23:31]?	Firefly looks over at Ignis. "Who's Chroma?"
[23:32]?	Hawkeye nods. "All right," she says. "You two," Hawkeye says and indicates two of the stronger-looking freed slaves. She makes a mental note to find a better name for the group, as they're not slaves anymore. "Put Gabrielle on the platform." The sniper turns back to Buck. "Well? You want to do it, or shall I." It's not really a question, but she does offer Buck the detonator.
[23:33]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamara gives Royal_Lace 500 caps. "This is what we can afford without compromising our other plans"
[23:33]?	Sotho nods. "Perhaps!"
[23:33]?	Royal_Lace nods, "Ill make it stretch as far as I can", Turning she trotts of to find her traveling companion, DooDad.
[23:33]?	Ignis stores the books he picked into his bags and starts to pick up the said clothes...the coat, the nurse clothings...and the sleepwear, just in case... "Well, she's the compound's doctor...and one of the mudponies' inponies contacts." The dragon answers.
[23:35]<SpiritOfFate>	The strange meat is just old bloatsprite meat disguised with spices and coloring
[23:35]?	Firefly nods to Ignis. "Ooooh. Can we go meet her?"
[23:36]?	Sotho nods as he starts to pack some of the meat. "Well I can cook a meal for all of us in the mansion if you all want later?"
[23:36]?	Ignis tucks in the clothes into his arms. "I'll just go check in with her...see if she's not mad at me or anybody so far...and....sure, altough she probably has her hooves full for the moment, kid...so don't expect too much attention." The dragon shrugs and scoots off throught the door, cruising to the doctor's station.
[23:37]?	Wintergreen trots to Ignis' side. "Mind if I come along? She could probably use some help."
[23:37]?	Ignis nods a couple of times. "Sure thought."
[23:38]?	Firefly carefully rolls up the schematics and puts them back in the bots. "Ok, I'll come with. Be nice to say hi... and then I can fix the griffin bot!"
[23:40]?	Ignis just hears that. "Maybe you could do something to change its mug to something more appealing than a griffin...perhaps a puppy, or something along that line."
[23:40]<SpiritOfFate>	Hawkeye sees Buck hesitating, His eyes showing a glimpse of instability as he moves his hoof closer, before returning to a detached acceptance.
[23:41]?	Firefly nods at the dragon's request. "Yeah! I'll make it look like Batmare instead!"
[23:42]?	Ignis chuckles. "See if you can make it do a grave-deep voice, just for dramatic effect."
[23:43]?	Firefly nods excitedly. "Yeah! That'll be awesome!"
[23:43]?	Wintergreen snickers. "Don't forget the cape."
[23:43]?	Ignis headtilts. "Not so sure about that...a cape could get stuck into their thrusters."
[23:44]?	Sotho blinks as he follows
[23:44]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad is still tied left by the slavehouse guarded by mudponies.
[23:44]<Firefly>	The filly's jaw drops. "I hadn't thought about that! I should be writing these down!" The filly flies back to the garage at high speed, grabbing a notepad and a pencil and flies back to the group. "Ok, so, batmare face, deep voice, cape..." The filly writes all these things down in her filly scrawl.
[23:46]?	Wintergreen nodnods. "And Bat-a-rangs."
[23:46]?	Hawkeye wraps a hoof around Buck's neck and hugs him. "It's okay. It's all gonna be fine," she says, taking back the detonator. "Just remember that y'all are who your decisions make ya. Not what other folks decided for you." The charcoal mare turns back toward Gabrielle and the platform. "I'll be damned if Ah let this murderer's last act bein' to turn y'all into someone like her." She walks up onto...
[23:46]?	Hawkeye ...the platform and throws her rope over the gallows, and begins tying a noose.
[23:47]?	Ignis eventually finds his way to chroma's clinic, bumping the door ajar softly and entering it...he just glances around, hoping to see if the medic herself wasn't too busy.
[23:47]?	Royal_Lace approches the tied up Doodad, "Ready to leave this behind you Doodad?"
[23:48]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad grumbles. "Do I have a choice?"
[23:48]?	Wintergreen follows, glancing around for the doctor.
[23:50]<SpiritOfFate>	Chroma Cure is at her small infirmary, doing her best to care for the many slaves that needed help for so wrong, cleaning their wounds and infections. Right now she is wrapping Shaky Ground's hoof with a rag
[23:51]<SpiritOfFate>	The large slaves drag a kicking Gabrielle to Hawkeye.
[23:53]?	Wintergreen trots over to Chroma, careful not to interrupt her work. "Need any help?"
[23:53]?	Firefly waves to Chroma but otherwise stays silent. She has two left hooves when it comes to medical stuff.
[23:53]?	Ignis whistles as to call her attention. "Chroma, we found some garbs around that might be yours by the looks." The dragon voices, then goes to a counter and deposits the stuff into it, a nurse's uniform, a hefty doctor's coat (with leathered kneepads), a very battered MoP field armor and a revealing set of underwear which might or might not be used, he couldn't discern. "Feel free to browse."
[23:55]<SpiritOfFate>	"Oh, please." Chroma says. There are half a dozen slaves waiting for her to be finished and she doesn't have many supplies left.
[23:56]<SpiritOfFate>	She blinks at Ignis offerings. "Where did you get that?"
[23:56]?	Wintergreen nods, moving to one of the slave beds and inspecting their wounds. "Wintergreen," she introduced herself. "I believe we've met before when I was 'choking' on a fork."
[23:56]?	Hawkeye slips the noose around the bound griffon's neck and cinches it below the collar, then pulls the rope tight so Gabrielle is hauled up so her back legs barely touch the platform, and ties it off. The charcoal sniper walks to the front of the platform and hangs her head. "Ponyfolk," she says quietly to the former slaves. "This ain't no reason to be happy. Be happy that y'all are free, be happy...
[23:56]?	Hawkeye ...this griffon can't hurt nopony after today. But don't be happy we're killin' her," she says. The mare tips her hat back and looks at the crowd. "Ain't nothing to be proud of in a killin. It's a fact of life in the Wasteland. The moment y'all take happiness or pride in it, y'all become like her. And you folk, of all ponies, should know the Wastes don't need more of her. So say a prayer if...
[23:56]?	Hawkeye ...y'feel like it. Or toast your freedom with some liberated booze." Her expression hardens. "The best thing y'all can do is forget she even existed." Hawkeye turns back to the slowly-strangling Gabrielle. "Sic semper tyrannis." And she pulls the trigger.
[23:57]?	Ignis scratches his chin. "Uh...didn't you revendzous with Tamara to pool in the mudponies' drugs, Wintergreen? " the dragon cocks an eyebrow."In any case, send Firefly to pickup any leftover meds." then his eyes go back to Chroma. "Inside one of the bots, guess he was the outfitter...why you ask?"
[23:58]?	Royal_Lace shrugs, "Well there is at least one choice left. You stil need a few things to be safe out there by yourself and im wiling to give them to you... but there is something ells that could help allot, Pipbucks and a truck, Its to my understanding you were offering them as a reward for the return of your daughter. Would you be so kind as to tell me where you keep them?"
[23:58]?	Firefly looks over to Wintergreen. "Healing potions and stuff?"
[23:59]?	Wintergreen gestures to her packs, inspecting one of the former slaves. "I have some in here."
[00:09]<SpiritOfFate>	Hawkeye may not be usually so eloquent, but the truth of her words echoes in the heart of these lost and wounded ponies. As so many times before the collar snaps into a contained explosion, blasting Gabrielle's head of. Her body falls limply on the stand. The slaves solemnly give farewell to the lives of suffering with renewed hope in their hearts.
[00:10]<SpiritOfFate>	Wintergreen finds many of them have wounds, some of them festering, from working with dangerous filthy garbage.
[00:11]?	Hawkeye tosses the detonator aside and walks silently off the platform, away from all of that mess, feeling a little queasy and a lot of numb. If only it were that easy, and she didn't feel like such a hypocrite for saying those things. Maybe they could forget and move on because they had each other. But despite her new friends, Hawkeye still feels hollow, and alone.
[00:12]<SpiritOfFate>	"And why should I? My daughter is dead." Doodad says, Knick Knack's ears droop nearby.
[00:13]?	Wintergreen takes out some of her spare bandages and begins to tend to wounds, wrapping them carefully.
[00:16]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck trots to Hawkeye, putting a hoof on her shoulder. "I-it's over... I'm sorry but.... Filly would be glad."
[00:17]?	Firefly looks between Chroma, Ignis, Mr. Sotho and best foal sitter. "Well, if you don't have anything for me... I'm gonna fix up a giant robot!"
[00:18]?	Sotho smiles a bit. "I would enjoy to help you, but I'm afraid I know nothing about mechanics."
[00:19]<Hawkeye>	"No she wouldn't," Hawkeye says. "From what you told me about her earlier, what would make her glad is that everyone here is free an' safe. Not... that." She vaguely waves at the platform, then turns and looks up to Buck. "You gonna be alright, sweetheart?"
[00:19]?	Royal_Lace looks down at the pony slaver with pitty, "Becouse she isnt dead, and if you tell me where i can find these things I can give you and your wonderful daughter a gift that will help ensure your safties. The pipbucks, one for each of you, when and if you ever understand your mistakes and wish to try and see her again the pipbucks will let you both find each other"
[00:23]?	Firefly nods to Sotho. "That's ok. Hopefully I can get this thing running really fast!" The filly darts back to the garage to start her work.
[00:23]?	Sotho chuckles a bit and nods. "I'l be sure to keep you fed nice."
[00:26]<SpiritOfFate>	"Yes, no, I m-mean... you didn't have to do it. But... " he mumbles something about Filly. "...it's better this way.... right?" Buck turns to Hawkeye with teary eyes.
[00:30]?	Hawkeye takes off the bandanna around her neck and dabs Buck's eyes with it. "It ain't better. But it's gonna get that way fer everypony here. You included. These folks... they know yer pain more than anypony else does. An' you know theirs." She hugs the shivering stallion. "Y'all might think Gabrielle killed your family, but she didn't, not all of them. The rest are here, for you."
[00:36]<SpiritOfFate>	"...alright." Doodad sighs. "It's under a garbage-covered  tarp just by the garage"
[00:38]?	Royal_Lace nods, "Thank you very much sir, I may not hold you very high reguard for the way you have treated your family and the slaves here but im glad to see you are willing to see reason. I will be back shortly". Turning she trots of to the indicated spot to hopefully find the hidden treasure.
[00:39]<SpiritOfFate>	It's hard to tell without knowing it, nearly indistinguishable from all the other garbage, but you find one edge of the tarp in the dirt
[00:43]?	Royal_Lace uses her magic to try and disloge the tarp and the garbage.
[00:51]<SpiritOfFate>	The tarp is lifted revealing a pick up. It looks completely assembled, though something of a mix and match in parts and welding
[00:54]?	Royal_Lace smiles to herself as she looks about the truck for the pipbucks and anything ells that may be stored here.
