  1. [3/5/2014 6:49:04 PM] TheWanderingZebra: ... The Wasteland
  2.  
  3. To our heroes, though the Equestrian Wasteland has been known to be brutal throughout most of their lives, many of them, regardless of their disposition for it, were quite familiar with it, always knowing what kind of threats they may face eventually and how they could survive for the next day.
  4. [3/5/2014 6:50:52 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Here, here in the land they are in now however will our heroes realize just how alien and unfamiliar Zebrica is to them that they may wish to head back to the familiar wasteland they know.
  5. [3/5/2014 6:51:47 PM] TheWanderingZebra: It is now that our heroes will begin to learn the perials that they will be facing. The question is though: will they manage to survive? That's something we're going to find out soon enough.
  6. [3/5/2014 6:52:25 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Session 3: Begin**
  7. [3/5/2014 6:52:43 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Survivial in Zebrica, Day 1**
  8. [3/5/2014 6:54:08 PM] The Custodian: The alicorn starts traipsing off into the jungle.
  9. [3/5/2014 6:55:47 PM] Dusk: Dirge rolls his eyes as he follows the alicorn. Seriously, did she even try to figure out where we were going? "Hey, hold up! We need to find out which way you're headed!" Doesn't she...he...it...know the basics of traveling?
  10. [3/5/2014 6:55:47 PM] TheWanderingZebra: It felt pretty strange, perhaps neither of you have ever seen this much green before in your lives. The jungle our heroes were transversing through contained many moss infested trees, with the occasional noise of an unknown animal seeming to be the only thing heard.
  11. [3/5/2014 6:56:26 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli looks up, seeing people leaving. He moves to follow the both of them. "I don't think splitting up is smart."
  12. [3/5/2014 6:58:53 PM] The Custodian: "Then follow. " she says, no longer content with just sitting around "I plan to travel a couple leagues in each direction to get an idea about our surroundings"
  13. [3/5/2014 6:59:36 PM] Schorcht: Cherry hovers behind the Alicorn as she clears the way. She observes her surroundings with "Ooh"s and "awe"s.
  14. [3/5/2014 7:00:19 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Sprocket follows Cherry without showing any reaction at the new and alien scenery.
  15. [3/5/2014 7:01:27 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: Amber looks ahead at the jungle with a wary glance. "Times like these I wish I had map." she mutters before she feels an idea coming on. "Actually that's not a bad idea, if I don't have a map, I could make one!"
  16. [3/5/2014 7:02:24 PM] The Custodian: "You can be our cartographer then. Now try and keep up" she says, setting a rather brisk pace and using one of the swords to cut away brush when needed
  17. [3/5/2014 7:04:04 PM] Solid Snake: Aark takes the rear, following behind from a distance, keeping Darling at his side.
  18. [3/5/2014 7:04:44 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli keeps himself to the side of the forming train. "It'll be a good thing to have."
  19. [3/5/2014 7:06:38 PM] Dusk: The griffon frowns as he is still right behind 'Prince' Valliant. He wanted to say something, but decides that it would be best to just keep his beak shut, for now.
  20. [3/5/2014 7:09:59 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: Amber takes a roll of parchment, a pencil and her compass and floats the objects infront. She takes the pencil and labels the map according to the compass coordinates. She draws a star on the west side of the parchment to signify the ship whilst tracing their steps into the jungle as they go. She'd go over the finer details in ink once she was able to. "I'll be the first equestrian in over 200 years or more to create and own a map of zebrica."
  21. [3/5/2014 7:10:42 PM] Fordregha: "Assuming there isn't some collector holed up somewhere in a bunker with a bunch of maps."
  22. [3/5/2014 7:11:11 PM] Schorcht: Cherry touches all the leaves and looks at all the pretty flowers.
  23. [3/5/2014 7:11:52 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Don't touch the flora, no knowing whether they're safe to touch or what not."
  24. [3/5/2014 7:11:59 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Minutes appeared to pass as our heroes as they continued their trek in the jungle. The flowers Cherry could see weren't something you'd commonly see in the Equestrian Wasteland now and then.
  25. [3/5/2014 7:13:50 PM] Solid Snake: "Stay close now."
  26.  
  27. "I'll be fine, Aark.." She says, looking about curiously.
  28. [3/5/2014 7:14:41 PM] The Custodian: The alicorn isnt really paying much mind to the flora. Mostly shes just trying to keep track of the distance covered so far
  29. [3/5/2014 7:15:53 PM] Schorcht: Cherry rolls her eyes. "Fine" she just looks at the pretty flowers.
  30. [3/5/2014 7:16:22 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Oh I wish I had proper lab equipment," she said looking at the colorful plant life surrounding the area."So I could study them, not even the old books mentioned plants like these."
  31. [3/5/2014 7:17:16 PM] Dusk: Dirge smirks as he listens for any animals nearby. Maybe he can come across something tasty; that would be nice. "You think the natives eat meat, too? Or they just eat grass and flowers?"
  32. [3/5/2014 7:18:05 PM] Fordregha: "Well, I can eat meat so it's anyone's guess." Kivuli eyed the plants, falling somewhere between curious and afraid they're going to eat him.
  33. [3/5/2014 7:18:24 PM] The Custodian: The alicorn cringes "Hopefully weve left the barbaric carnivores of the wastes behind"
  34. [3/5/2014 7:18:43 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The plants that Kivuli were looking at didn't appear to be zebra eating ones ... 'appear' being a key word.
  35. [3/5/2014 7:19:45 PM] Dusk: "Yeah, screw you, too." Dirge snorts at the alicorn. Barbarians...
  36. [3/5/2014 7:21:22 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Oh, I should definetly take notes on that." she exclaimed excitedly. "The plant life, the natives, the culture, their eating habits...I could EVEN make a book!"
  37. [3/5/2014 7:21:52 PM] The Custodian: "I meant mostly the ponies who have forsaken their usual diet..." she adds forgetting about the griffons tastes
  38. [3/5/2014 7:22:40 PM] Fordregha: "I really wouldn't have minded if there was a book circulating." Kivuli decides the plants are alright...for now.
  39. [3/5/2014 7:25:07 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "I can see it now, 'The Jungles of Zebrica: An Expedition to the Unknown' by Amber Sun!" her eyes had that sparkle again. "My findings will make me a hero amongst the great-minds of equestria and even the younger generations to come!"
  40. [3/5/2014 7:25:07 PM] Schorcht: Cherry nods. "Food is good" she stalks behind Dirge.
  41. [3/5/2014 7:25:52 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Sprocket keeps on hoovering near Cherry, the little robit occasionally making various robot noises.
  42. [3/5/2014 7:26:47 PM] Dusk: Dirge nods in agreement with Cherry. "Yeah. And I have more faith in the meat being good than the plants. the animals have to know what's good to eat, right?"
  43. [3/5/2014 7:27:18 PM] The Custodian: The alicorn just rolls her eyes.... "How could we have come to this" she mutters silently
  44. [3/5/2014 7:27:45 PM] Solid Snake: "Easily." Aark states.
  45. [3/5/2014 7:27:55 PM] Solid Snake: "It's what ponies are."
  46. [3/5/2014 7:28:10 PM] Fordregha: "And meat tastes good."
  47. [3/5/2014 7:29:13 PM] Solid Snake: "Ponies are depraved savages, capable of anything..."
  48. [3/5/2014 7:30:23 PM] The Custodian: Valliant just makes a note to fix this once she rulles equestria, and then proceeds to mumble silently to herself
  49. [3/5/2014 7:31:09 PM | Edited 7:31:26 PM] Solid Snake: "...and zebras are just as bad. So mouthes shut, eyes open.."
  50. [3/5/2014 7:32:58 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli rolls his eyes and mutters. "At least you added the first part..."
  51. [3/5/2014 7:33:20 PM] Schorcht: "Bacon is good" she says with a leap and a smile.
  52. [3/5/2014 7:34:15 PM] TheWanderingZebra: It appears an hour has passed as our heroes contine to trek through the jungle. So far, they haven't really gone through much trouble ... other than a few annoying insects flying in a group, but that wasn't much of a problem. They've oddly have had to easy so far ... perhaps too easy? Sprocket appears to be just hovering near Cherry as usual.
  53. [3/5/2014 7:34:40 PM] Solid Snake: Aark lights a cigarette, keeping darling close.
  54. [3/5/2014 7:36:17 PM] The Custodian: About an hour in the alicorn will swing inland after having followed the shoreline.
  55. [3/5/2014 7:40:11 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Hmm, these insects look fairly common to species you'd find in pre-war biology books." she commented looking at some of the insects flying by, it lands on a leaf. "This, for instance, is a prime example of a Culicomorpha."
  56. [3/5/2014 7:40:53 PM] Fordregha: "...And the common name is?"
  57. [3/5/2014 7:41:02 PM] Dusk: "And are they edible?"
  58. [3/5/2014 7:42:37 PM] The Custodian: "Why would you want to eat an insect?" she asks, face contorted in disgust
  59. [3/5/2014 7:42:43 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "These are commonly known as the Mosquito." she says. "Also, I wouldn't advise it since they drink blood from other ponies, or zebras in this case, and are known to carry blood diseases."
  60. [3/5/2014 7:43:15 PM] Solid Snake: "Hrmph.."
  61. [3/5/2014 7:43:59 PM] Schorcht: Cherry scrunches her nose. "Eww..."
  62. [3/5/2014 7:44:17 PM] Fordregha: "Oh good, mosquitos, yay."
  63. [3/5/2014 7:44:32 PM] Dusk: The griffon growls in disinterest. "Fine...I'll leave them be."
  64. [3/5/2014 7:45:38 PM | Edited 7:46:39 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Oh I wonder if we'll find any Rhopalocera here." she wonders. "Also, commonly known as the Butterfly." she adds as an explanation.
  65. [3/5/2014 7:45:52 PM | Edited 7:46:31 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Darlin seems to be the first one to hear it, followed by Aark, Cherry, Amber, and Kivuli as they heard a noise of hoofsteps coming from somewhere around them with the plants being moved, with Darlin figureing out that it's coming from the left.
  66. [3/5/2014 7:48:10 PM] The Custodian: The alicorn is of course oblivious. Its hard hearing things when ones head is stuck up their ass
  67. [3/5/2014 7:51:18 PM] Schorcht: Cherry's eyes grow wide as she gasps with a smile. "Maybe it's friendly!"
  68. [3/5/2014 7:51:39 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli scowls and pulls his hood up. "Maybe it's not..."
  69. [3/5/2014 7:52:43 PM | Edited 7:52:50 PM] Schorcht: "Pfft, it can't be worse than anything in the Wastes" She waves a hoof.
  70. [3/5/2014 7:53:34 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Rule #1 of the Wasteland: Never assume an unknown factor is friendly firsthoof, that's how you get killed." she says putting away her items and hold rifle at the ready.
  71. [3/5/2014 7:55:05 PM] Schorcht: "That's a silly rule! You won't ever make friends that way! And perhaps friends have things to give us~" She squees.
  72. [3/5/2014 7:56:01 PM] Fordregha: "...You didn't leave home much, did you?"
  73. [3/5/2014 8:03:03 PM] Schorcht: "...so?" She answers.
  74. [3/5/2014 8:03:29 PM] Fordregha: "So..." Kivuli gets out his rifle. "Get a gun ready."
  75. [3/5/2014 8:05:08 PM] Schorcht: Cherry sighs. "Fine. But if we scare them off cause we are toting around guns..." She leaves that sentence open and draws Zaps. The guns wines as the batteries bring it to life.
  76. [3/5/2014 8:15:25 PM] Solid Snake: Aark looks about, reading his weapons.
  77. [3/5/2014 8:16:24 PM] The Custodian: And the alicorn continues to remain oblivious. GOod thing her swords already out
  78. [3/5/2014 8:18:14 PM] Dusk: Dirge is still unaware of the incoming...whatever it was. But he did start to listen in on the others talking.
  79. [3/5/2014 8:21:38 PM] TheWanderingZebra: More leaves could be heard rustling as what appeared to be a pipe riffle coming out as a zebra stallion in a tribal outfit looked at the group with narrowed eyes as he spoke (which Cherry, not having her translation talisman on, could barely, though somewhat, comprehend what he was saying). "Ponies? Are you with the Children of the Night?" The zebra stallion says with contempt in his voice.
  80. [3/5/2014 8:22:29 PM] Dusk: Dirge starts slightly as he hears the new voice, turning to glare at the intruder.
  81. [3/5/2014 8:22:33 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Children of the night?" she repeats in question.
  82. [3/5/2014 8:22:35 PM] The Custodian: Valliant freezes and stares at the zebra. floating out the talisman and placing it on her neck "Say again?" she asks once its on
  83. [3/5/2014 8:22:47 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli keeps his hood up.
  84. [3/5/2014 8:23:51 PM] Solid Snake: Aark steps foward. "Who's askin?"
  85. [3/5/2014 8:24:58 PM] Schorcht: Cherry elbows Kivuli. "See, friendly~" She smirks. "Hello~ wait..." she shakes her head and starts to speak her best Zebrican. "Hello~ Friends we are. No fight we. Umm... Vegetables of Night... er..." Her speech trailing off as she tries her best to remeber her teachings that she ignored.
  86. [3/5/2014 8:26:09 PM] Fordregha: "We'll see after you get done butchering his language."
  87. [3/5/2014 8:26:40 PM] Schorcht: "It's my language too~" She retorts.
  88. [3/5/2014 8:27:51 PM] Fordregha: "Technically, it's mine too. But that really doesn't matter right now."
  89. [3/5/2014 8:27:55 PM | Edited 8:28:09 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra stallion appeared to be bemused with what Cherry said, but still keeps his riffle ready just in case. "Your Zebrican isn't really that good." He said to the zebrasus. He then turned to the rest of the group. "And that was my first guess. Ponies aren't exactly common around these areas, and the Children are usually known to have ponies in their tribes. But that doesn't change anything else, who are you, and what are you doing here?"
  90. [3/5/2014 8:28:51 PM] Schorcht: "Ponies in pies?" Cherry looks baffled.
  91. [3/5/2014 8:29:13 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra then seems to focus his riffle at Valiant. "And what is she?"
  92. [3/5/2014 8:30:22 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Ugh, this is why you should've worn the talisman." she says to Cherry. "She." points at Valiant. "Is an Alicorn."
  93. [3/5/2014 8:30:32 PM] Schorcht: Cherry steps in front of the rifle waving her hooves. "No, no, no! Friend! Friend!... er... wing unicorn"
  94. [3/5/2014 8:30:36 PM] Dusk: Dirge takes a step forward, to get a closer look at the zebra. He flexes his talon slightly, just in case he decided to start shooting...
  95. [3/5/2014 8:30:56 PM] The Custodian: The alicorn frowns and floats up her blade "Pint that rifle elsewhere. We come in peace. I am Prince Valliant and we come seeking something called the Ebony Kingdom. Our boat beached itself not far from here and we were in the process of discovering more about our surroundings "
  96. [3/5/2014 8:32:25 PM] Fordregha: "Yes...cause telling a stranger everything is a good idea" Kivuli mutters.
  97. [3/5/2014 8:32:57 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra stallion still gave an untrustful glance at Valiant ... but appeared a bit confused by what 'she' just said. "... You're searching for the Ebony Kingdom? And what is this 'boat' you speak of?"
  98. [3/5/2014 8:33:34 PM] The Custodian: "You know. A boat... A way to traverse the water."
  99. [3/5/2014 8:33:50 PM] Schorcht: Cherry is having a hard time keeping up. "Er... metal thing, float on water"
  100. [3/5/2014 8:33:58 PM] Dusk: "We just landed here, buck. Let's just say we are motivated enough to find it." Dirge ponders for a moment... "You happen to have any other griffons around here?"
  101. [3/5/2014 8:36:22 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra gave a pfft at Dirge, but doesn't answer him as he focuses on the group. "You're telling me that you're from the country that fought Great War in the Time Before, and you just happen to hear the legend of the Ebony Kingdom? What would your kind want with that sacred realm?"
  102. [3/5/2014 8:36:32 PM] Solid Snake: "Why the fuck are we telling this asswipe everything?"
  103. [3/5/2014 8:37:02 PM] Fordregha: "I agree. This is not a good policy."
  104. [3/5/2014 8:37:53 PM] Solid Snake: "Fuck this retard.... We stick t' the plan..."
  105.  
  106. "But papa~"
  107. [3/5/2014 8:38:16 PM] The Custodian: Valliant turns to glare at the stallion "Because we are in a foreign land with no idea about anything of its layout. What harm is there in trying to be friendly?"
  108. [3/5/2014 8:38:50 PM] Fordregha: "There's being friendly and then there's giving away information that might be sensitive.*
  109. [3/5/2014 8:38:50 PM] Dusk: Dirge growls slightly, this zebra was pissing him off a bit. "You're really putting out the welcome mat for us..."
  110. [3/5/2014 8:39:18 PM] Solid Snake: "We stick to our guns... Let's go.."
  111. [3/5/2014 8:39:41 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra narrowed his eyes back at Valliant. "Our tribe just surivied an attack by those damn slavers a few suns ago, I have all reason to suspect those who may be a threat to my family."
  112. [3/5/2014 8:40:29 PM] Dusk: Dirge was ready to move on, when he suddenly straightens up. "Slavers?" He takes another step closer to the zebra. "Okay...now you have my attention..."
  113. [3/5/2014 8:40:53 PM] The Custodian: "We are no affiliated with whatever slavers attacked you. We are newcomers to these lands"
  114. [3/5/2014 8:41:06 PM] Solid Snake: Aark walks to the zebra. "I don't give a shit, about your family. We ain't slavers, y'all dun mean that much to me."
  115.  
  116. He looks to his Comrads. "Le's go."
  117. [3/5/2014 8:41:22 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "We're not here to pick a fight, we don't want to kill or bring harm to anyp-er anyzebra, we're non-hostile."
  118. [3/5/2014 8:41:23 PM] The Custodian: "Charming"
  119. [3/5/2014 8:43:06 PM] Schorcht: "Did I hear?... ah fuck this noise~" She puts on her zebra translator. "Now! What's going on here?"
  120. [3/5/2014 8:44:35 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra appears to put his riffle away, appearing disgusted at the attitude that Aark was giving him. Turning to the Zebrasus, which, he did take a minute to realize she had wings, and replied to her. "I asked if you were out to harm my family and if you were with the slavers. But your friends seem quite hostile so far regardless if they are or not."
  121. [3/5/2014 8:45:54 PM] Schorcht: "Ah~ Don't mind them. They are a bit rough from the crash probably" She waves a hoof at them. "Are there really slavers here too?"
  122. [3/5/2014 8:46:15 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Oh he's always like that, even to us, kind of like he has a stick lodged up his flank or something." she says offhandedly.
  123. [3/5/2014 8:46:51 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Of course. Mlolongo controls an entire tribe of them. You really don't know anything about this land you're in, do you?"
  124. [3/5/2014 8:47:13 PM] The Custodian: "I thought that was obvious" she huffs,
  125. [3/5/2014 8:47:16 PM] Fordregha: "Not in the slightest."
  126. [3/5/2014 8:48:13 PM] Solid Snake: "..."
  127. [3/5/2014 8:48:43 PM] Dusk: "Nah, we've been here for so many years, but we just lived under a rock the entire time."
  128. [3/5/2014 8:49:39 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "No, this is the first time any of us have been in these lands before." she says taking out her compass once more to look at.
  129. [3/5/2014 8:50:07 PM] TheWanderingZebra: They were facing south right now as Amber saw.
  130. [3/5/2014 8:50:24 PM] Schorcht: "I know a bit~ But nothing of the... everything else that goes on" Cherry nods.
  131. [3/5/2014 8:51:57 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "A bit ... you did seem rather familiar with the legend of the Ebony Kingdom." The zebra said, appearing to be more calm, but appeared to give Aark a distrustful glance once in awhile, almost expecting him to make an assault. "How did you come to know of it?"
  132. [3/5/2014 8:53:08 PM] Schorcht: Cherry smiles. "I have a book!"
  133. [3/5/2014 8:53:15 PM] Dusk: "That's none of your concern." Dirge says flatly to this zebra.
  134. [3/5/2014 8:53:37 PM] The Custodian: "We were sent to learn more about it. A myth of sorts in our land that we wish to investigate further"
  135. [3/5/2014 8:55:04 PM] Dusk: "Fucking Egg, Valliant! I swear, I'm going to shove a radhog shank, if it'll shut you up!"
  136. [3/5/2014 8:55:29 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra appeared to be thinking of something, taking a look at the weapons that the group had. "... I'm afraid all I, and my tribe knows, is about the legend of the Hunter and the Shamaness ... though, there may be a trading settlement that may pertain the lore you seek more on it's whereabouts."
  137. [3/5/2014 8:55:33 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli sighs and sits. "We're going to get killed..."
  138. [3/5/2014 8:57:12 PM] The Custodian: THe alicorn continues to ignore the griffon, "Can you give us an idea about how far these settlements are and what dangers are nearby?"
  139. [3/5/2014 8:57:21 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "I personally wish to study Zebrica and it's culture through unbiased findings." she says with a little sparkle in her eye. "It's so beautiful here compared to back home."
  140. [3/5/2014 8:58:09 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "... But why should I simply just tell you where you may find this settlement? What can I, and my tribe, receive in return?"
  141. [3/5/2014 8:59:12 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Ah, I see where you're going with this," she says nodding. "You want us to help your tribe with the slaver problem in exchange for information I presume?"
  142. [3/5/2014 9:00:26 PM] Schorcht: "We can help!" Cherry jumps up! "Yes! We will help you with the slavers!" She nods frantically.
  143. [3/5/2014 9:01:01 PM] Solid Snake: "NO. We WONT."
  144. [3/5/2014 9:01:45 PM] Solid Snake: "WE have our own fuckin' deal, our own fuckin' problems...."
  145. [3/5/2014 9:01:47 PM] Dusk: Dirge was reluctant at first to do this for free, but...it's better than pressing on without any support. "Hmm..."
  146. [3/5/2014 9:02:20 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "That was the idea, but your friend seems to object to the idea." The zebra stallion said pointing to Aark.
  147. [3/5/2014 9:02:46 PM | Edited 9:05:03 PM] The Custodian: "Unless this settlement is hidden away it wouldnt be hard for me or her" she nods to Cherry" To find them by air"
  148. [3/5/2014 9:04:09 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Yes, perhaps, but most of you appear to be unfamiliar with the area, and the jungle may as well claim your lives before you can even find Biashara ... assuming you could even find any settlement without getting lost in this jungle."
  149. [3/5/2014 9:04:58 PM] Schorcht: "Ah, what's so wrong with making friends? They could help in more than one way, besides. Having tactical allies in a forgien land is beneficial." Cherry nods.
  150. [3/5/2014 9:05:54 PM] The Custodian: "These slavers... What information do you have about them. Im not agreeing to anything mind you. Not yet"
  151. [3/5/2014 9:07:15 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Our village elder, Imanu, could tell you more about it ... but how will I know he won't do anything he might regret?" The zebra stallion said referring to Aark.
  152. [3/5/2014 9:07:48 PM] Fordregha: "All of this is why we chose our words carefully."
  153. [3/5/2014 9:09:59 PM] Schorcht: "Maybe cause he's outnumbered? Cause unfortunately right now it really is strength in numbers. That and getting lost here would suuuuuuuuck" Cherry smiles to Aark. "Come on, lets get the advantage on this expedition shall we?"
  154. [3/5/2014 9:11:27 PM] Dusk: Dirge looks over at Aark. "We need to get some help from the locals. You don't have to be friends with them, but at least tolerate them."
  155. [3/5/2014 9:13:41 PM] Solid Snake: "We ain't helpin' with th' slaver bullshit..."
  156. [3/5/2014 9:17:45 PM] The Custodian: "Then return to the ship to mope. The task we were given was never going to be a straight shot at our goal and this is one of many steps we need to take to reach it"
  157. [3/5/2014 9:19:26 PM] Solid Snake: "We're NOT risking our skin t' help some fuckin' folk we dun' even know!"
  158. [3/5/2014 9:20:14 PM] Solid Snake: "What, whatwhatwhat-- You gonna STOP and HELP every FUCKING lowlife that needs help? News flash: EVERY ONE in thisworld needs help....."
  159. [3/5/2014 9:20:46 PM] The Custodian: "And what harm is there in simply hearing them out. I dont plan on accepting anything until i know more about what is going on here anyway."
  160. [3/5/2014 9:21:05 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "A lowlife? Then perhaps I'm wrong in asking for your help." The zebra stallion says.
  161. [3/5/2014 9:22:01 PM] Solid Snake: "Perhaps ya are.. Look for charity elsewhere.."
  162. [3/5/2014 9:22:44 PM] The Custodian: "he is offering us directions and information on the area in return. Its not simply charity"
  163. [3/5/2014 9:23:41 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "If we don't help them, we risk going in the jungle blindingly searching for our goal, we'll end up lost and killed, and i'm pretty sure everypony here, including YOU. " She pauses to point at Aark. "Wouldn't want to risk putting Darlin' through that. Am I right?"
  164. [3/5/2014 9:24:39 PM] Solid Snake: "YOU leave her OUT of THIS!!" Aark takes a few steps foward, as Darling shuffles nervously.
  165. [3/5/2014 9:24:52 PM] Schorcht: "Come on! They need our help! And are willing to help us out in return! Are you saying you want to forsake us to this land cause your too ignorant to help somepony who didn't just shoot us in the back of the head?!" Cherry speaks up.
  166. [3/5/2014 9:25:08 PM] Solid Snake: "You wanna pick a FIGHT......With SLAVERS? We're better off on our own!"
  167. [3/5/2014 9:25:36 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra stallion pffts. "Ponies." He then begins to leave.
  168. [3/5/2014 9:25:46 PM] The Custodian: "Go then" she says calmly "Treck through the jungle blindly. Who knows. You might be lucky."
  169. [3/5/2014 9:25:51 PM] Schorcht: "Woah, woah, woah. Did he ever say 'you should fight and kill the raiders'?" Cherry makes a face.
  170. [3/5/2014 9:26:07 PM] Solid Snake: "...."
  171. [3/5/2014 9:26:23 PM] Schorcht: "Ah fack~ See ya then~" Cherry follows behind the zebra.
  172. [3/5/2014 9:26:28 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Even if we don't help them, they slavers will still be a danger factor, what if they find us and capture us in the process?"
  173. [3/5/2014 9:26:54 PM] Dusk: "You're emotional, Aark." The griffon says calmly, before turning to the zebra. "Hold up! I'll hear you out. But we have to make a deal, before I even consider this."
  174. [3/5/2014 9:27:06 PM | Edited 9:27:19 PM] The Custodian: "For now i will hear the zebra out along with his elder. I see no harm in it" and with that the alicorn follows Cherry and the zebra
  175. [3/5/2014 9:28:07 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The zebra stallion turns around and faces Cherry in a very annoyed expression. "I'm loosing my patience! My people barely held up in the last attack! Our children could be in danger. Most of our warriors are wounded! I have no time wasting on hoping for a group that cannot even agree with one another!"
  176. [3/5/2014 9:28:43 PM] The Custodian: "We seem to mostly be in agreement bar one. Now lead us to your elder so we can listen to your offer"
  177. [3/5/2014 9:30:09 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "I actually have a family I seek to feed every day. I actually sacrifice myself once and now to make sure they're fed." He then turned to Valiant. "Why should I even allow you to help if one of your own has called us lowlives?"
  178. [3/5/2014 9:30:35 PM] Schorcht: "Hey hey now. I wasn't cussin' at you now. I'm going to help!" She smiles and spins her pistol striking a pose.
  179. [3/5/2014 9:31:20 PM] Solid Snake: "FINE.. We'll HEAR OUT th' offer...."
  180. [3/5/2014 9:31:30 PM] Solid Snake: "But we PLAY SMART.."
  181. [3/5/2014 9:31:45 PM] The Custodian: "Something you have yet to display"
  182. [3/5/2014 9:32:03 PM] Solid Snake: He walks over. " 'Scuse me?"
  183. [3/5/2014 9:32:25 PM] Solid Snake: "I ain't th' one who wants to suck the cock o' sumzubra we jus' MET.."
  184. [3/5/2014 9:32:55 PM] Schorcht: "Kay now boys! Seriously!" She gets in between them. "Lets get a fucking foothold in this land before we kill each other. Okay?"
  185. [3/5/2014 9:33:05 PM] Solid Snake: "..."
  186. [3/5/2014 9:33:51 PM] Solid Snake: He stares down the one opposite to him, with Darling quite distressed.
  187. [3/5/2014 9:34:16 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "..." The zebra stallion stared back at the group. "... Very well. But he doesn't cause any trouble in Jangwa. Once you're done bickering with one another, I'll lead you to my elder." He then turns to Kivuli, appearing to take notice of him now having been so focused on the others. "I'm surprised that a zebra like you would be with these ponies."
  188. [3/5/2014 9:34:37 PM] Schorcht: "Not that we should kill each other. By the godesses! Come on!" She shakes her head.
  189. [3/5/2014 9:34:53 PM] The Custodian: "You heard me... I never gave any indication i would accept this zebras offer. He suggested giving us informatinon to navigate the jungle and said we would need to speak with his elder. I never said yes." she replies looking down at the stallion, "YOu seem hell bent on avoiding him regardless of what he can provide us"
  190. [3/5/2014 9:35:54 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: 'Oh yes, play smart by continously offending him.' she thought in sarcastic tone. 'Real smart you stupid muscle-bound neanderthal.' "Glad to see we're at an agreement" she says in light cheery tone.
  191. [3/5/2014 9:36:11 PM] The Custodian: "You seem quite willing to risk your own life and that of your charge to traipse off blindly without knowing a thing about our surroundings."
  192. [3/5/2014 9:37:24 PM] Solid Snake: "The first detour.."
  193. [3/5/2014 9:40:13 PM] The Custodian: "Considerring what is being offered I think its worth hearing them out" she replies and turns around to face the zebra "Lead on"
  194. [3/5/2014 9:41:03 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli has been watching the argument, backing out after the sides got confusing. "Well if we're going then lets go."
  195. [3/5/2014 9:41:07 PM] Dusk: Dirge stays silent for a bit, watching the ponies bicker and argue. he eventually turns to the zebra. "let's move."
  196. [3/5/2014 9:42:04 PM] Schorcht: Cherry lets out a sigh. "Finally... It's a new land, and there are new rules. Let's try to learn them, but you are not wrong in not forgetting the old ones Aark. Just... please, be a little more..." She humms for the correct word. "...forgiving?"
  197. [3/5/2014 9:42:08 PM] Solid Snake: Aark curses to himself, as we walks besides Darling.
  198. [3/5/2014 9:45:34 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Finally. I'll lead you to my tribe then. And perhaps I should give myself a name. Marjani. Let's go before the night falls, that's usually when the jungle gets more dangerous." He said as he begun to lead the group.
  199. [3/5/2014 9:46:26 PM] The Custodian: Valliant huffs "Unsurprising" she mutters and follows quietly
  200. [3/5/2014 9:47:32 PM] Schorcht: Cherry floats behind him with a huge smile.
  201. [3/5/2014 9:47:33 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli sighs and follows. "Wonderful start so far."
  202. [3/5/2014 9:48:22 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Sprocket makes beaping noises as he follows Cherry.
  203. [3/5/2014 9:48:28 PM] Dusk: Dirge smirks as he is alongside Kivuli. "You're telling me. But what did you really expect?"
  204. [3/5/2014 9:49:05 PM] Fordregha: "People to start shooting honestly."
  205. [3/5/2014 9:51:00 PM] Dusk: "Heh...so was I." The griffon laughs to himself. Equines...they should've just kept to themselves...
  206. [3/5/2014 9:51:31 PM] TheWanderingZebra: 15 minutes appeared to past as our heroes followed Marjani, who appeared to stop once in awhile to take a glance all around him, as if by habit. "Today seems to be calm, a little too calm. It's usually more dangerous than now."
  207. [3/5/2014 9:52:03 PM] The Custodian: "Perhaps its the weather?"
  208. [3/5/2014 9:52:30 PM] Solid Snake: "..."
  209. [3/5/2014 9:52:39 PM] Schorcht: "What sort of dangerous? Flying Hellhounds!?!" Cherry gasps.
  210. [3/5/2014 9:53:28 PM] The Custodian: Valliant scrunches her face "The massive cannines? Fly? Absurd"
  211. [3/5/2014 9:54:02 PM] Fordregha: "I'd pay to see that."
  212. [3/5/2014 9:54:15 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Well, we aren't that far from the center, so this is the rather tame area of our land." He said as he turned to Cherry as she gasped along with Sprocket (with beeps). "The most dangerous threat we get are usually a tiger once in awhile. Again, most tame parts, and it doesn't happen often."
  213. [3/5/2014 9:54:17 PM] Dusk: "Nah, if unicorns can fly..." Dirge frowns to himself, before turning to Marjani. "What's out here, normally?"
  214. [3/5/2014 9:54:59 PM] The Custodian: "What is a tiger?"
  215. [3/5/2014 9:57:12 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "... Orange, striped, and like a giant cat that will eat you if you succumb to it." He responded to Valiant.
  216. [3/5/2014 9:57:36 PM] Schorcht: "Eh... not as scary as flying hellhounds..." She shrugs.
  217. [3/5/2014 9:57:43 PM] The Custodian: "We have giant grey dogs... You have giant orange cats... Amusing"
  218. [3/5/2014 9:57:48 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli whistles. "Zebrica is something else."
  219. [3/5/2014 9:58:40 PM] Dusk: "Hmm...how dangerous are they?" The griffon is...intrigued by this prospect of meeting a tiger. "And can you eat them?"
  220. [3/5/2014 9:59:15 PM] The Custodian: "Must you always think of your stomach? IM sure theres plenty of things for you to eat around here that wont maul you for looking at it"
  221. [3/5/2014 9:59:46 PM] Solid Snake: "...."
  222. [3/5/2014 9:59:57 PM] Dusk: "Hey, I haven't had a decent shred of meat in a few days. Give me a break!"
  223. [3/5/2014 10:00:25 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Yes, if you know how to cook it that is." Marjoni revealed. "They're my tribe's favorite when I come back from hunting."
  224. [3/5/2014 10:00:35 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "What other kinds of animals do you usually see out in the jungles?" she had a notebook out with a pencil floating in her magic.
  225. [3/5/2014 10:00:47 PM] The Custodian: "But seeking out a giant cat seem rather odd... And somewhat cannabalistic for you"
  226. [3/5/2014 10:01:59 PM] Dusk: Dirge shrugs at the zebra. "We're our own race. And I have no idea how they act, so it's free game for now."
  227. [3/5/2014 10:02:09 PM] Schorcht: Cherry nods and listens to the zebra. "Ah, a great hunter you must be"
  228. [3/5/2014 10:04:28 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "I don't understand how that could be 'cannabalistic?" He asked Valiant. "And I don't really have much time to give you details on all the wild life. Perhaps once we've settled at my tribe's village I could."
  229. [3/5/2014 10:05:31 PM] The Custodian: "Griffon, eating a tiger" she points the tip of her blade at Dirge's rear
  230. [3/5/2014 10:05:54 PM] The Custodian: "Griffons are part feline i believe"
  231. [3/5/2014 10:06:38 PM] Schorcht: Cherry shrugs. "Food is food"
  232. [3/5/2014 10:14:39 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "And we've been hunting for far longer than even the Time Before." Marjani says.
  233. [3/5/2014 10:15:04 PM] The Custodian: Valliant shrugs "Just making an observation"
  234. [3/5/2014 10:15:52 PM] Fordregha: "I bet tiger tastes great."
  235. [3/5/2014 10:16:23 PM] Solid Snake: Aark simply lights another cigarette
  236. [3/5/2014 10:19:53 PM] Schorcht: Cherry simply follows along humming to herself.
  237. [3/5/2014 10:20:54 PM | Edited 10:20:54 PM] Dusk: Dusk The griffon rolls his eyes at the alicorn. "Whatever. I just wanted to get something substantial."
  238. [3/5/2014 10:21:41 PM] The Custodian: "Patience"
  239. [3/5/2014 10:23:53 PM] TheWanderingZebra: It takes awhile longer, but eventually can our heroes see the jungle giving away as they spot a village made of wooden huts. A few other zebras, some of whom appear injured, appeared to look in surprise at the group, and were almost about to flee in terror until Marjani spoke. "Relax, they're here to help. Where's Imanu?"
  240. [3/5/2014 10:24:48 PM] The Custodian: Valliant sheathes her blade when she notices the looks of fear and waits
  241. [3/5/2014 10:26:05 PM] Schorcht: Cherry smiles even brighter! "Oh look Sprocket! Little zebra families in Zebrica~! Some sort of society still exists!" She takes to the air slightly.
  242. [3/5/2014 10:26:34 PM] Solid Snake: Aark stops to cough
  243. [3/5/2014 10:26:35 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Oh dear, they don't look well." she commented looking at some of the zebras. "I'm a medic, do you need help with any injured?" she asked the zebra.
  244. [3/5/2014 10:29:08 PM] Fordregha: Kivuli looks around at the village, trying not to show...much of anything really.
  245. [3/5/2014 10:30:09 PM] TheWanderingZebra: A zebra mare with a bandage covering her left eye approached Amber. "You're a medic?" She then turned to Marjani. "Imanu is in her hut. She's been praying to the Shamaness for assistance."
  246.  
  247. "Well then, she got it then ... hopefully." Marjani said.
  248. [3/5/2014 10:30:24 PM] Solid Snake: Aark wipes his mouth, and looks up. Darlin clings to his leg, looking on.
  249. [3/5/2014 10:31:24 PM] The Custodian: "Then lets speak with her. IM growing somewhat impatient"
  250. [3/5/2014 10:31:57 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Yes, I am." she answered the bangaged zebra mare. "Do you need any help?"
  251. [3/5/2014 10:32:40 PM] Solid Snake: "This is tupid..."
  252. [3/5/2014 10:32:56 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The mare nods, though Marjani speaks first. "Then you can stay with them and help heal them." He said to Amber. "The rest of you may come, and show some respect to our elder."
  253. [3/5/2014 10:33:37 PM] Schorcht: "Ah come on now. You don't even need to do anything. Just hold on, and let us waste our resources, hey?" She tries to give Aark a smile.
  254. [3/5/2014 10:33:52 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: "Alright, how many are injured, and how severe are the injuries?" she asked
  255. [3/5/2014 10:33:52 PM] The Custodian: "Provided we are shown the same then that shouldnt be a problem..." she shoots Aark a glare "Right?"
  256. [3/5/2014 10:34:16 PM] Dusk: "Aark...stay out here." Dirge gives the stallion a stare.
  257. [3/5/2014 10:36:18 PM] Fordregha: "The griffon has a point. You aren't exactly friendly."
  258. [3/5/2014 10:36:44 PM] Schorcht: "Hey! Cut him some slack now. Stop ganging up on him." Cherry harumphs.
  259. [3/5/2014 10:36:45 PM | Edited 10:36:54 PM] The Custodian: "Provided he can be cordial and not voice whatever errant thought crosses his mind then I feel that he should remain to hear the elder out"
  260. [3/5/2014 10:37:25 PM] Solid Snake: "I'm goin' in too..."
  261. [3/5/2014 10:38:33 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Well then, follow me then." Marjani said as the zebra mare lead Amber towards the injured.
  262. [3/5/2014 10:39:42 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Our heroes have had it easy thus far in the Zebrican Wasteland. Though, what trials will they face when they accept the offer to protect the tribe against slaver? Perhaps we'll learn that latter on, where our heroes will learn that they've gotten themselves into something far bigger than they thought.
  263. [3/5/2014 10:42:59 PM] HoloDiskJockey F.: Amber follows the bandaged zebra mare.
  264. [3/5/2014 10:43:26 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Session 3: Finished**
  265. [3/5/2014 10:43:39 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **500 XP**
  266. [3/5/2014 10:43:39 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Aark gains -1 Karma**
