  2. [2015-01-09 21:33:54]* DontAskForCookies "Gold, Gold, GOLD! Have 600 Peices Trotters for some sweet stunt work, and while your at it each of you can count on picking up one official Las Pegasus Event Cape! Approved and Signed by YOURS TRULY! Last room trotters before your back home, unless maybe you want to call it a day? CHOICE IS YOURS!"
  3. [2015-01-09 21:35:47]* Meryl gives a pfft "Where hear for the win. We'll do our best like last time."
  4. [2015-01-09 21:36:32]* DontAskForCookies The crowd continues to cheer as the Trotters make there way back to the central room now one compainion richer. The massive mintor seated along the side of the blimp overhead depicts a shower of gold as Steel Focus's Voice echos around the Dungeon and stage
  5. [2015-01-09 21:38:14]* DJ_Cookies (~DJ_Cookies@Pony-4n5r2f.ga.comcast.net) has joined
  6. [2015-01-09 21:38:28]* Entropy nods as she continues forward. "He's interesting, that's for sure." The purrsian smiles. "Fun to listen to."
  7. [2015-01-09 21:39:19]<Grwn> "We are the only good thing on TV. If we go home, how can we watch it? Lets keep going!" Grwn says.
  8. [2015-01-09 21:39:57]<Breaking_Dawn> "I think some of his stunts gave him brain damage. Its my theory as to why he hasn't figured out that he doesn't need to scream into the mike yet."
  9. [2015-01-09 21:40:33]* DontAskForCookies has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  10. [2015-01-09 21:42:41]<Grwn> "Maybe he needs to. Like some ponies need bursting into stuff and that whole deal." Grwn shrugs
  11. [2015-01-09 21:43:01]* DJ_Cookies The central room has been cleared of the large corpses of Giant Scorpions, green goowy trails of ichor leading back to the pipes. Bits of Chitining lay strune about here and there. The pillar remains as well but there is a new addition to the room. A marked STORY NPC stands near the gate across from you, a Griffon wearing a oil stained Mechanics jumpsuit.
  12. [2015-01-09 21:45:36]* Meryl looks to the Griffon "I hope we don't have to fix something, not really my thing."
  13. [2015-01-09 21:46:09]* DJ_Cookies The Griffion twirls a Wrench before spoting you and then addopting a worried look and stowing his wrench in his tool belt. Lifting his tallons to his face he calls out to you, "Hey you there, I need some help!"
  14. [2015-01-09 21:46:10]* Grwn flaps his wings and flies to the griffon. "Hey! How's it going?"
  15. [2015-01-09 21:46:38]* Entropy shakes her head. "I can fix something. Just usually break something in the process..." The purssian follows after Grwn, not quite as fast but she gets there easy enough.
  16. [2015-01-09 21:47:41]* Meryl just keeps her mount to a slow trot as she makes her way to gate
  17. [2015-01-09 21:47:59]* Breaking_Dawn brings up the rear guard.
  18. [2015-01-09 21:49:30]* DJ_Cookies the Griffion breath an exagurated Sigh of reliefe before breaking into his scrip, "Thank goodness you folk are here, my assitant and best chum has gone missing! He was helping me fix up this nice car we were going to take to Las Pegasus when he decided what it needed was a prop skull from the old Ghost town nearby"
  19. [2015-01-09 21:50:08]* DJ_Cookies "Pixie Left Hours ago and hasnt come back since, I whent to go look but then I saw some strange lights over the place and was scared off. Could you go find out what happened to her?"
  20. [2015-01-09 21:50:15]<Breaking_Dawn> "Your assistant is a moron."
  21. [2015-01-09 21:50:21]* Meryl face palms
  22. [2015-01-09 21:50:37]<Breaking_Dawn> "Prop skulls are pretty cheap."
  23. [2015-01-09 21:51:39]* DJ_Cookies the actor Deadpans before catching himself, "Hes still my best mate, buisness sense aside. Theres a reason shes MY assistant, anyway she could be in some real trouble. If you help me out Ill let you take the car we were working on!"
  24. [2015-01-09 21:51:54]<DJ_Cookies> *shes still my best mate
  25. [2015-01-09 21:52:42]* Meryl slows draws her claws down her face then looks to Entropy with a pleading look in her eyes "I hope you got some thing for undead?"
  26. [2015-01-09 21:53:31]<Grwn> "Eh, I'm not seeing any shop here anyway. Besides, ghost towns are more fun than some boring-ass cashier line." He shrugs. "What way we go?"
  27. [2015-01-09 21:53:48]* Entropy smiles and nods. "Of course we don't mind. We can go and rescue her." She looks toward Meryl. "Not particularly."
  28. [2015-01-09 21:55:01]* Meryl slumps in the saddle "Well lets hope it's not a bad as I think."
  29. [2015-01-09 21:56:45]<DJ_Cookies> The mechanic steps aside and points down the now swinging open Door across from the direction you arrived. "Right that way miss, thanks a bunch. If you can find Pixie and bring her back that would be great. If not though... well if you can bring me her lucky Hankercheif at least I would appreciate it, soemthing to remember her by"
  30. [2015-01-09 21:59:39]* Entropy nods and starts heading toward the door. "I actually don't know that much about undead, Meryl. Sorry."
  31. [2015-01-09 21:59:57]* Meryl looks to the mechanic as she moves past "Oh don't worry about that well find her."
  32. [2015-01-09 22:02:31]<Grwn> "I bet we can get some extra skulls there." He says, gliding along with the group
  33. [2015-01-09 22:02:32]* Meryl as she makes her way past the gate she draws her bow "Lets try our best to keep them at range, can we."
  34. [2015-01-09 22:02:59]* DJ_Cookies the Sandstone doors finish grinding open with a deep thud to reveal what looks like a Large Setpeice. Before you a worn down Fronteer main street straight out of a western. With Painted backdrops covering the walls its almost half convincing. The street before you leads up to a large City Hall and has a branching street before it.
  35. [2015-01-09 22:03:23]* DJ_Cookies On que a stray tumbleweed rolls down the street
  36. [2015-01-09 22:04:10]* DJ_Cookies Smoke machines pipe in a dramatic and vaguely kreepy hoof cover of swriling fog. The Griffion behind you waves farewell, "Good luck, Be safe!"
  37. [2015-01-09 22:04:54]* Entropy smiles at the set before looking back to the Griffon. "Don't worry! We'll be back soon with your friend!" The purrsian looks out at the set. "Mmmm... feels like I could see Billy the Colt any second now..."
  38. [2015-01-09 22:06:08]* DJ_Cookies Shopfront and saloons are bordered up with dusty barrels and worn out waggons parked about. Somewhere in this set is the lost "Pixe"
  39. [2015-01-09 22:06:15]<Breaking_Dawn> "Okay, So how are we doing this?
  40. [2015-01-09 22:07:10]<Entropy> "Well... do we want to just attract the attention to us? Might give us an idea where Pixie is."
  41. [2015-01-09 22:07:16]<Breaking_Dawn> "Grwn, you scope out the place with your eagle eyes or something."
  42. [2015-01-09 22:08:09]<Breaking_Dawn> "Meryl, get your mount to do something generically awesome."
  43. [2015-01-09 22:08:37]<Grwn> "Not a problem." He flies up and tries to get a good view of the area.
  44. [2015-01-09 22:09:25]* Entropy starts walking forward, keeping an eye out for any traps or movement in the mist.
  45. [2015-01-09 22:10:03]<Breaking_Dawn> "Entropy, try not to get caught by any giant cranes. I'll try to look through my spellbook to see if I can prepare a spell that might help.
  46. [2015-01-09 22:10:51]* Grwn shouts from above. "NEEEEEEERD!"
  47. [2015-01-09 22:10:55]* Meryl just just gets her mount to move forward slowly, keeping an eye out for trouble
  48. [2015-01-09 22:11:33]* DJ_Cookies a chortle is heard breifly over the loudspeeker before Steel turns off his mic.
  49. [2015-01-09 22:13:10]* DJ_Cookies From his bird eye view Grwn can see the whole "Town" and notices a large space around the bend that must be meant as a graveyard with several aged stone tombstones raising out of a heavy fog bank. Near the back wall of the graveyard a pillar rises over something obscured by the mist that is feintly glowing...
  50. [2015-01-09 22:13:37]* DJ_Cookies Entropy notices no traps but sees several hidden pyrotechnics around the town, maybe for a grand finale?
  51. [2015-01-09 22:14:48]* Entropy makes note of the pyrotechnics, just in case they are useful in a future fight. "No traps, everyone. Let's get this moving. Got a damsel to rescue." The purrsian continues forward.
  52. [2015-01-09 22:16:21]* Breaking_Dawn snaps and pockets his spellbook and follows Entropy.
  53. [2015-01-09 22:16:44]<Grwn> "There's a glowing thing in the graveyard over there." He points from above, flying over the group. "It also got a ton of fog for the middle of the desert, the zombies must have air conditioner."
  54. [2015-01-09 22:19:08]* Entropy nods and quickens her pace. "Well, that's a good first place to look."
  55. [2015-01-09 22:21:46]<Breaking_Dawn> "Okay, lets get going then."
  56. [2015-01-09 22:22:56]* Meryl follows along after the rest still keeping an eye on the town
  57. [2015-01-09 22:23:41]* DJ_Cookies the streets echo as you move through them and towards the abandoned graveyard. Rusted iron fence ciricles circles the place, a sign overhead reads, "Shady Hills GraveYard: Rest In peace", the Grave sight is on a slight slope with fog rolling down it from the back.
  58. [2015-01-09 22:25:58]* Grwn perches on the sign, looking back at the group. "There's the glowy thing." He points at the pillar
  59. [2015-01-09 22:28:49]<Entropy> From a pocket in Entropy's robe, a wand floats out, waves over the Purrsian... and sparks slightly. "Well, that's not good." The wand floats back into her pocket. The pussian looks into the graveyard and slowly starts forward, continuing to look for traps.
  60. [2015-01-09 22:29:59]* Meryl does her best to cover Entropy with her bow
  61. [2015-01-09 22:30:43]* DJ_Cookies cool whisps of fog whip up at Entropys paws, creepy sound efects emminate around you from unseen speakers. For all of its forboading nothing happens just yet.
  62. [2015-01-09 22:30:44]<Breaking_Dawn> "Let me show you how its done."
  63. [2015-01-09 22:31:00]* Breaking_Dawn reaches for Entropy's wand
  64. [2015-01-09 22:31:45]* Entropy swats the unicorn's reaching hoof with her tail. "Stop that... focus on the task ahead."
  65. [2015-01-09 22:32:56]<Breaking_Dawn> "Well if you don't want any protection thats your prerogitive."
  66. [2015-01-09 22:34:07]* Entropy chuckles. "Oh, the wand is just insurance. I'm graceful enough as it is. Also, expensive." The purrsian continues forward, looking for traps and other issues.
  67. [2015-01-09 22:35:18]<Breaking_Dawn> "Grwn, could you try to clear out some of the fog?"
  68. [2015-01-09 22:35:26]* DJ_Cookies The pillar seems to be a large warn down grave marker, possible of someone of some importance, Hanging from the top of it however by decaying leather straps is a stylized dream catcher with eagle feathers laces within it, a Classic shamantic Buffulo symble for warding away evil.
  69. [2015-01-09 22:41:23]<Grwn> "Eh, it's gonna take forever. It's cool like this." Grwn shrugs. "And you didn't even say the magic word."
  70. [2015-01-09 22:41:35]* DJ_Cookies No traps or obvious dangers reveal themslves as you step to the pillar in the back of the Cemetary. Nearing it you can make out a few more details, the pillar is standing near a freshly dug Grave, the light is coming from a hanging dream catcher over the open grave, dirt is piled up around it and fresh hoofsteps can be seen around the grave.
  71. [2015-01-09 22:41:59]* Grwn flies closer to Entropy and the pillar
  72. [2015-01-09 22:43:50]* Entropy approaches the pillar and freshly dug grave. "We really should have gotten more of a description of Pixie. Hrm..." The purrsian stops once she is about forty feet from the dreamcatcher and casts Detect Magic, to try and get an idea what is going on.
  73. [2015-01-09 22:43:59]* Grwn perches on a tombstone
  74. [2015-01-09 22:45:02]* Breaking_Dawn Breaking follows suit.
  75. [2015-01-09 22:45:34]<Grwn> "Easy. She is a pony or a griffon, with anywhere from 0 to 6 limbs that might be alive or not, or something else."
  76. [2015-01-09 22:47:17]* DJ_Cookies The glowing starts to Flicker from the Fetish as a cackling breaks in over the speakers, A dry and menacing voice raspse at you from all directions, "Foolish Adventures, why come here? Graves are for the Dead!"
  77. [2015-01-09 22:48:09]<Breaking_Dawn> "Somepony's got to bury you"
  78. [2015-01-09 22:48:12]<Grwn> "They are a crappy breakfast too." Grwn says.
  79. [2015-01-09 22:48:45]* DJ_Cookies The fetish blinks a few times as the ground shakes, tombstones rumbling as Skelital Limbs burst out of the dirt around the graveyard, Dry skelitons raising themselves from the earth as the Buffulos charm fizzles and fails.
  80. [2015-01-09 22:49:59]* Entropy frowns as she looks down at the shaking graves, taking to the air. "Well, should have expected that."
  81. [2015-01-09 22:51:01]<Breaking_Dawn> "Of course it was gonna happen. This is the set from 'Ghost Town Ghouls 3'"
  82. [2015-01-09 22:52:21]* Meryl looks at the skelions then to her bow "This is no good." then put is back into its saddle holster, after thats done she works at setting her lance
  83. [2015-01-09 22:53:51]<Grwn> "But look at all these skulls!" Grwn grins. "That's half the problem solved, we just need to pull them off. SO DROP THEM ALREADY!"
  84. [2015-01-09 23:01:20]<DJ_Cookies> 2/3rds of the undead swarm at Grwn and Entropy while the rest move towards Meryl outside.
  85. [2015-01-09 23:01:48]<DJ_Cookies> Two Skelitons swipe at Grwn, one from the front and the other from the rear for a double attack!
  86. [2015-01-09 23:03:04]* DJ_Cookies the two undead practically trip overthemselves as they clumsily swipe at Entropy, meanwile a third arrives at Grwn.
  87. [2015-01-09 23:03:54]* DJ_Cookies it lightly thwacks its cracked and dusty hoof on the strong griffions chest... chiping off part of its own hoof.
  88. [2015-01-09 23:10:07]* Breaking_Dawn sprays one of the Skeletons surrounding Grwn with a caustic liquid.
  89. [2015-01-09 23:11:08]* DJ_Cookies the acid sizzles and seems to not fase the walking dead!
  90. [2015-01-09 23:18:31]* Grwn takes a step back, snarling at the skeletons. "Watch out Entropy, this is gonna be a wild ride!" He lunges forward, his snapping beak crushing one's skeleton's bones
  91. [2015-01-09 23:19:39]* DJ_Cookies Pulling back from the bite Grwn takes more of the skeliton with him than he was expecting as the pile of bones colapses into a slightly smaller and more dusty stack of bones.
  92. [2015-01-09 23:22:14]* Grwn spits the bone. The magic acid was way too sour.
  93. [2015-01-09 23:23:32]* Entropy releases a flurry of punches at the skeleton who tried to claw at her, landing a solid blow. "I was never really a fan of that attraction. Took too long."
  94. [2015-01-09 23:24:44]* DJ_Cookies the Skelitons Head cracks as its jaw flys away, powdery dust rising form the hit as it collapses.
  95. [2015-01-09 23:26:24]* Meryl steachs out her wings and gives out a warcry as she set her mount to the charge and blows past the three in front of her, the Purrsian and her mount ste on the lone target in the middle of the graveyard
  96. [2015-01-09 23:29:38]* DJ_Cookies Meryl and her steed bare down on the soul creature and trampple it into dust
  97. [2015-01-09 23:31:48]* DJ_Cookies Undead close in on the group and take swipes at each of them, grasping with cracked bone and clacking chiped teet
  98. [2015-01-09 23:31:49]<DJ_Cookies> teeth
  99. [2015-01-09 23:32:58]* DJ_Cookies none are able to move fast enough to catch the troters
  100. [2015-01-09 23:39:29]* Breaking_Dawn retaliates with acid upon one of the skeletons who would dare to strike the most valuable party member.
  101. [2015-01-09 23:40:17]* DJ_Cookies The Acid boils and melts of a few ribs as the skeliton trips a bit.
  102. [2015-01-09 23:45:24]* Grwn lunges, snapping a skeleton's neckbone with a sharp beak
  103. [2015-01-09 23:50:21]* Entropy throws two quick punches, the first punching open the sternum of one of the skeletons, while the second reaches in, grabs the spine... and the entire thing disintegrates, snapping apart as the powers of Tartarus flow into the dead undead. "Dust to dust..."
  104. [2015-01-09 23:55:11]* Meryl and her mount give the nearist undead a flurry of blows just befor it falls
  105. [2015-01-09 23:57:59]<DJ_Cookies> The acid splashed undead lumbers towards Breaking Dawn while the other two standing attack Meryl
  106. [2015-01-09 23:59:22]* DJ_Cookies one manages to sink its teeth into Meryls Leg
  107. [2015-01-10 00:07:06]* Breaking_Dawn launches another stream of acid, failing to connect with skeleton 1
  108. [2015-01-10 00:10:31]* Grwn dashes to one of the skeleton attacking Meryl, clutching his talons around its bony neck. "Hey you, quit it!"
  109. [2015-01-10 00:13:43]* Entropy walks over to the skeleton approaching the unicorn and aims a kick. It doesn't connect.
  110. [2015-01-10 00:17:59]* Meryl turns on one of her attackers and sends it back to where it came from
  111. [2015-01-10 00:25:40]* DJ_Cookies The one Entropy attacks bends back to try and dodge and is thrown off ballance, missing its next attack as his last companion is held it Grwns strong hold
  112. [2015-01-10 00:29:58]* Breaking_Dawn fires a precise stream of acid at the skeleton that was off balance, vaporizing it before it can get to its hooves.
  113. [2015-01-10 00:31:12]* Grwn bites neck off the skeleton, catching the skull in his talons. "Got it!"
  114. [2015-01-10 00:31:31]* DJ_Cookies the last Undead gives up the ghost as it collapses into rubble
