[13:56:42] Isosceles huffed lightly at Elytron. "I shouldn't be surprised it's just us. Lou must still be trying to acquire the charters." She murmured. "Did you ever find Shade Seeker?"

[13:57:54] Elytron nods. "Yep, got the rune too. Should of guessed it was the amulet he had on." He replies.

[13:59:25] Isosceles turned to the windows. "...mm." She murmured. "Shelf that for the moment. We'll decide on that at a later date. It seems our guests are arriving."

[13:59:52] Basic Visitor Detector 2.2:

[14:01:30] Elytron moves up to the windows to get a look at said guests.

[14:03:41] Smoores approaches the guild, ears perking when he sees ponies outside it today for once. Well that was a bit more comforting of a sight! Though he did pause when spotting someone peeking out that looks...kind of different, but at the same time familiar...?

[14:04:11] Isosceles would finally make her way outside, tired eyes blearily assessing the town ponies that made their way to her hall. "....This is it?" She murmured softly. But, saving some venom, she'd merely sigh. "Welcome, everypony. Thanks for coming on such a short notice."

[14:05:40] Skip Forward: skip nods his eyes looking towards her almost glassed over "Town needs help so im happy to assist"

[14:07:22] Crystallite "No problem, I'm always happy to help." Her wings twitch in anticipation.

[14:10:20] Shade Seeker stoot silently, watching, hoping for once things might go well..

[14:11:22] Elytron looks back at the pony that spotted him, offering a gentle wave so as to keep things from becoming awkward.

[14:11:59] Smoores: "Would it not be easier to contract ponies for construction too?" he called from his spot when hearing Iso's grumping about being short-staffed. Giving a friendly wave back, his eye moved from the window to her. ...and it took a lot of doing for him not to snicker at the sight of the attire she had on too. THat was new. "...erm. I-I mean, those ponies that do house-building could probably be hired for hauling and assembly as well, yes?"

[14:16:50] Isosceles shifted lightly, lighting waving smoores's question off since right now he was the only one that had a question. "I need fighters, adventurers, cavern explorers. I'm happy for you coming, but Mise is an entity that will not be defeated by cakes." She cleared her throat, eying the rest of the group. "There has been a lot that as been going on in town, lately. Mise's activity has dropped off lately, and her shop has been empty. Though I dare not allow any to search it for the moment." She said gently. "I desire to build the arch, which is a gateway to...the other side, much like a smaller version of the Green Eye which once draped our sky. In the process, I have hoped as well of discovering some method of stopping Mise's rampage of our village. You..." She paused. "You all will be apart of the first wave."

[14:25:37] Crystallite bounces on her hooves like a foal. "Transdimensional adventures to bring down a powerful mage? Just like my comic books! I'm in!" besides, if it's anything like the green rift... maybe she could use it go home after.

[14:25:56] Skip Forward: he raises a hoof for a moment "I am not here to be a combatant instead I would like to offer my services, my talents and resources lie in the more industrial side of things and as such I have ships and various other things to offer in aid of this cause"

[14:28:56] Smoores wrinkled his nose at the jaunt, but grinned. She underestimated his baking. "While I do not mind wrestling bears and demigod shadow-things, I do not think making a habit of that is wise either." he jokingly admits. On a more serious note though, "...and other side of what? What exactly is this arch? Where do you plan on building it? And what happens if we do not? This is all a little...well a LOT to be asking, especially when it involves another super-magical being terrorizing the region."

[14:30:33] Shade Seeker ponders and spoke up, "If this other side is what i think it would be, then my experience of that side would be a valuable asset"

[14:37:54] Isosceles would smiled gently to the crystal pony's offer of help. "Yes. Comic books." She replied, tail flicking, but then she turned to Skip, her brow raising. "Is that so? Well, we do need a large amount of charter ships. Many of the pieces of this so called 'arc'" exists within the continent of umambo. Others, in the tetrairy areas of Kohinoor. A large amount exist in the caves in amihan itself, though. This will be saved for last-they are at the home front, and..." She paused. "We're running on a time limit. So I'l lbe glad to pay extra for fast transport." She explained, turning finally to shade, and smoores. "The other side. Equestria. The other world- whatever you want to call it." She murmured. "It don't think it matters, perse, where it's build. But most pieces exist in those caves. So, possible there. And if we don't, I die." She said simply. "Mise roped me into a poor deal, this I will admit. Failing, as well, may mean she releases the rift's magic. Also...yes, this mise has stolen the magic of the

[14:37:54] Isosceles: green eye. Right now, she will not do anything with it." She cleared her throat. "Yes, all help we can get will be of use. This situation has been...difficult to deal with. I have some ideas on how to defeat her. But I need time. And I'll need to build this 'arch' to do it."

[14:42:44] Elytron steps out of the guild. Having figured out things would just be taking place outside for now.

[14:42:56] Smoores 's ears pin and he glares harder at Iso when hearing the news behind whatever deal was made. The stallion snorts in a bit of frustration and a funny feeling of dejavu, but that settled matters. "Oh they're going to hate me for this..~" he mumbled under his breath. "How long do you have and when do ships start moving out?"

[14:47:55] Skip Forward: "Some of those arch pieces I have been told are far from here, My ships an make the trip in a fraction of the time the primitive ships of this world can."

[14:50:00] Crystallite Her wings flirter and fidget at the mention of Equestria. "Why do we need to go to the otherside anyways? Not that im complaining at all, but I thought the magic from home didn't really work well here. I had a failsafe flare that failed spectacularly when I got here... so something powerful to defeat her..." She wanted to go home, but she definitely didn't want to blow up half the village doing so.

[14:54:34] Isosceles cleared her throat. She seemed to catch onto what Smoores was implying. "You aren't going anywhere. If you do insistence on helping us, then you'll be with the group that searches Kohinoor, or the one that goes to the caves." She said gently. "I have about....ten and a half months." She scoffed a bit to skip. "Yes, yes....that's good to hear. I'll be able to hoof the bill." She flicked her tail, nodding to Crystallite. "I suspect if I'm unable to fulfill my end of the bargain, she'll release the Green Eye's magic anyway. Andd possibly in the manner which I decided to make a deaal to stop. Making this arch is not vital to defeating her. But it does buy time." Se shrugged. "Some items seem to fail betwix worlds, from what I've heard. But portals seem....stable."

[14:55:01] ExpeditiousPony: *insist

[14:59:22] Smoores gives the unicorn a flat-browed stare, but says nothing. Just a bit of a mischievous twinkle in his eye that he tried quickly hiding behind an annoyed scowl. Still, he kept quiet on it. Instead, he had another question. "This deal...did she make it clear on -how- she was going to release this magic one way or another?" he asked. "There is a saying that you 'should never make deals with devils'. Or in this case, magical tricksters. I have heard stories about ponies disappearing over deals with hers, along with some other strange stories..."

[15:02:22] Shade Seeker remains silent for now.

[15:02:38] Elytron: "My own magic seems to work fine... Well last I checked anyway." Elytron replies to the Crystal pony. "Though, some of my things didn't survive the trip. I suspect something about the rift is not kind to complex mechanisms"

[15:04:16] Crystallite grumbles to herself "Wishy washy transdimensional magic..." and gives a little nod to changeling.

[15:13:25] Isosceles flicked her tail. "No." She stated, tone very to the point. "I may be able to absorb and counter it. If she was able to control it, then presumably others can. The deal I made was....hasty. You must realize I was convinced this deranged mare was about to destroy the world then and there." She explained. "Yes, I know the adage. I wish it were so easy." She sighed, rolling her shoulders. "Any questions?"
