In the Shadow of Seaddle, part 4

[19:36:32] <@DMbrew> LAST TIME, on Pony Ball Z, In the Shadow of Seaddle! Our wayward band of adventurers found that the native life in Cascadia was both bountiful... And ravenous. Blood was spilled, rounds were fired, and even a might rush of dragon flame was unleashed, but the abominations of Mother Nature and Father Radiation were swiftly dealt with. For the last hour or so, the party has been salvaging what they could from the derelict school. A wide assort

[19:37:19] <@DMbrew> A wide assortment of books were gained, along with an oddly well preserved jacket and a set of figures. But all was not safe, within these hallowed halls of learning. "Wrry?"

[19:37:51] Shooting_Star eeps and flees the room!

[19:41:12] <@DMbrew> The Wolf Spiders lunged at Shooting Star as he turns and NOPES out of the room! The first set of claws bite nothing but air and the pegasus's tail. The second manages to leap off the ground, filth encrusted claws sinking into Shooting Star's flank!

[19:42:02] Shooting_Star "AAAAAAAAAAAAW!" He shouts. "My butt! It has been bit! Woe is I!"

[19:42:30] Gabrielle blinks... Why is it always his but that gets hurt?


[19:43:17] <@DMbrew> The claws barely manage to work around the makeshift armor covering Shooting Star, but they still manage none the less. Cold fire begins to spread up the buck's leg and along his side.

[19:43:51] Karamanthos shrugs as he limps along in the rear of the group "hell if I know...lets get his arse out of the fire.

[19:44:06] Shooting_Star squeals. "It feels like fire! But cold! Cooooold fire! Frozen fire! ITS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE!"

[19:45:11] Shooting_Star turns around with his gun loaded. He fires at the thing with two aimed shots.

[19:47:54] <@DMbrew> A pair of searing magical energy lance out of Shooting's pump action, and it catches the Wolf Spider that just slashed him in the chest, burning a clean hole through the carapace. "WRRRRY"!

[19:48:40] Shooting_Star "STOP EATING MY ASS OR I'LL KILL YOU SOME MORE!!"

[19:49:05] Shooting_Star looks at the room. He looks at the group. "Hey! There's someone in there!" he points at a door.

[19:49:18] Shooting_Star points at the western wall*

[19:49:48] <@DMbrew> The Wolf Spider gasps for breath, the hole punching clean through one side of it's chest and exiting out the other, splashing against the wall in a display of arcane light. A good hit

[19:51:10] Gabrielle dives in beside Shooting to try and shred the creatures with her talons

[19:51:33] <@DMbrew> In the second Shooting gets to look around the room, he notices it to be another one of those sciency rooms, displays and diagrams of internal organs, bone structures, and other assorted medical paraphinelia fill the room.

[19:51:50] Jack` screams "Luna damn you! Stop running near the poisonous creatures!"

[19:52:11] Shooting_Star "BUT THEY'RE SO PRETTY!"

[19:53:11] Strange_Brew shakes her head. "They said my head was of hardened lead, but even I know not to run ahead!"

[19:59:35] Gabrielle beginsgrabbing, slashing, and trying her best to useher claws effectively. Its like hes forgetten she has a gun ~.~ . Thankfully she does manage to connect with the spider that Shooting shot (if only barely) and then lashes out at the other connecting as well. Its a miracle Shooting himself was not hit in the whirlwind.

[20:00:07] <@DMbrew> The first Wolf Spider to get swung at, the wretched soul on its lasts legs, look at the descending talons with a last pitiful "Wrry?" Before they slice through its carapace armed chest. Yellow and green ichor EXPLODES out of the sundered chest!

[20:01:35] Gabrielle nimbly dodges to the size as it explodes "These things explode?!?!"

[20:01:43] <Gabrielle> ( thing* )

[20:02:07] <@DMbrew> The second set of slashing claws finds a nice limb to sever, and suddenly the wolf spider finds itself lopsided and unbalanced, blood beginning to pump out of the stump and pool onto the floor. And finally, with that last wild swing that almost gives Shooting_Star a new set of scars Gabrielle smacks one of the burners on a table off, and it bounces off the Wolfspider's head.

[20:02:40] Gabrielle blinks as she almost hits Shooting "Oops"

[20:03:04] Shooting_Star looks at Gabrielle. "I'm still here, don't worry about it!"

[20:03:24] Shooting_Star looks at the incor. "Almost would have needed a bath1"

[20:04:00] Gabrielle smirks "Like you didnt before?"

[20:04:20] Shooting_Star looks at Gabrielle. "Was that an invite?"

[20:04:49] Gabrielle frowns "You wish" she replies and glances t the other two spiders

[20:05:59] Shooting_Star giggles and looks at the ratties. "Wooooow.... I dun feel so gewd..."

[20:07:05] Clerk begins to line up a shot and shouts out, "That's cause your poisoned!"

[20:08:36] Shooting_Star pouts. "Awwww maaaaaaaaaan!"

[20:09:19] <@DMbrew> The two beams of arcane light lance forward, one of them finding purchase in the wolf spider's chest. Combined with the claws of Gabrielle, this spider looks all sorts of messed up.

[20:09:45] Jack` "FUCKING DIE YOU MUTATED RAT FUCKERS!!"

[20:12:31] <@DMbrew> "Wrrr... Wrrr... WRRRRRRY!" The wounded wolf spider manages to gasp out.

[20:14:27] Clerk lines up his shot on the badly injured spider that looks like a stiff wind would kill it. He smirks and fires.

[20:15:59] <@DMbrew> The bullet that rips through its body is anything BUT a stiff breeze for the wolf spider. From point of impact and exit, a torrent of yellow green ichor spews out as the wolf spider thrashes and flails about in it's last few moments of life.

[20:17:19] Gabrielle avoids the spray "Ugh... These things..."

[20:18:08] Shooting_Star icks!

[20:18:12] Clerk chuckles. "Call me a stiff wind then," he mutters before turning his rifle on another spider.

[20:20:50] Shooting_Star looks at the west wall. "Well get out here and help us, THEN we'll be quiet!"

[20:21:13] <@DMbrew> Over the screaming of the dying spider, the two remaining spiders look to the western wall for a moment, and look confused for a brief moment.

[20:21:41] Jack` looks at Shooting "Who in the hell are you talking too?"

[20:22:26] <@DMbrew> One of the pauses for a moment, backing away from the group, hissing and spitting but making no hostile action. The other one seems to ignore whatever is compelling the other, and lunges forward at Gabrielle and Shooting start, lashing about this way and that with it's claws!

[20:22:47] Shooting_Star looks at Jackie. "There's someone behind that wa-ACK!"

[20:23:26] <@DMbrew> In the whirling ball of violence and WRRRRYYYY one set of claws manages to find hold, slashing into Shooting Star once more! Hope he brought anti toxin.

[20:24:24] Shooting_Star screams. "I don't wanna be dinner!"

[20:24:55] <@DMbrew> The other Wolf Spider is backing against and UP a wall, hissing and spitting at the party but otherwise not attacking.

[20:30:17] Strange_Brew moves into the room, taking careful aim at the spider on Shooting, whispering "Spirits of Air, place my shot with care" before firing once.

[20:30:28] <@DMbrew> Its like a fucking rave in here! Beams of searing death lance out again and again, filling the room with the scent of ozone and searing flesh! The wolf spider takes the blow to the chest, its whirlwind of violence disrupted as it staggers slightly "WRRRRYYY!" Its still in the fight, crap!

[20:31:26] Shooting_Star flails. "Gettitorff!"

[20:31:52] Jack` [[email protected]] has quit (Connection closed).

[20:36:14] Karamanthos breakes into a short jog and barrels through into the spider room, scramblimg over a table to get as many swipes at the Spider with his claws as he can.

[20:37:54] Gabrielle turns to Kara with a small smirk "What took ya so long?"

[20:39:20] <@DMbrew> Karamanthos reminds this pitiful abomination why dragons have always been the stuff of legend and horror. His lashing claws dart out, and in the blink of an eye, the spider is cleaved into ribbons. Ribbons which spew out noxious vile ichor all around them!

[20:39:29] Karamanthos grimaces as he ducks and weaves while in middle swipe "Hey my leg's been killin me I didn't get the potion like you did!"

[20:40:45] Shooting_Star flops on to his back. "I are poisoned halp."

[20:42:11] <@DMbrew> The thick goppy ichor sprays out onto Karamanthos, covering his arms and chest in the rancid spray. He feels a very familiar sensation of bottled lightning, crawling up his arms.

[20:43:59] <@DMbrew> Combat ends as the last spider scurries into a hole in the western part of the ceiling, disappearing with a parting "WRRRRYYYY! But all is not well, as Shoot_Star feels the icy fire spread rapidly through his body, the three claw wounds sending noxious venom coursing through his veins!

[20:44:39] Gabrielle looks over to Brew "THink you can whip up something for S.S?"

[20:45:06] Karamanthos grimaces and sling the acidic goop from his arms quickly before it eats through his scales "Sonova this shit hurts....

[20:45:42] Clerk puts away his rifle and rushes over to Shooting_Star. "Here, take this. It won't stop the poison, but it should help," he says, pulling a healing potion out of his pack with his magic.

[20:45:49] Strange_Brew taking out her saddlebags, out flies a Hot Plate, a large beaker, a pound of popcorn, and couple poison glands. "If I am fast, and this does not end in a blast!"

[20:46:04] Gabrielle pulls out a potion also and hands it to Karamanthos "Here"

[20:47:49] Karamanthos peers at the potion given to him as he asks out "what kinda stuff is this Gabrielle?

[20:47:50] Shooting_Star takes the potion then grabs Clerk by the collar. "If... if I don't make it..." he coughs over his shoulder, making a ham of himself. "Tell.... tell my mother..." he coughs again, over his shoulder. "...the cat needs fed." he coughs again, then pretends to pass out.

[20:48:06] Gabrielle frowns "Its a healing potion..."

[20:49:25] Karamanthos watches Shooting convulse and act out a dramatic death scene with a frown while holding his potion."that shit aint funny Shooting....

[20:49:48] Strange_Brew the popcorn pops in the beaker as the the glands go in, skin and all! The kernels turn green momentarily before popping, the air smelling of delicious buttery meat. Taking out a pair of skins, the zony mare wraps it around the hot beaker, runs over to Shooting Star and pours the popcorn in his mouth. "Sorry about the heat, but I had to be fleet!"

[20:52:58] <@DMbrew> The strangely delicious, and slightly chewy popcorn does it's job, and in a sensation of OH SISTERS HOT, the sensation of cold fire vanishes.

[20:54:07] Gabrielle watches Shooting down the poison "Yummy?"

[20:54:07] Shooting_Star flails. "My mouth! It is hell! The devil is dancing in my gullet!"

[20:54:07] <Gabrielle> (popcorn* )

[20:54:53] <@DMbrew> The party are left standing in this medical classroom, the exploded corpses of the three spiders twitching and releasing small spurts of ichor in their death throes. Several desks are arranged neatly, and there is only a small amount of webbing in the room, mostly around the holes in the ceiling.

[20:54:58] Karamanthos looks over at Strange Brew "uhm...is he gonna be okay? or should I give him my potion too?

[20:55:30] <@DMbrew> Graphs, charts, displays, even a full pony and pegasus skeleton on display hooks fill the room. Various beakers, burners, tongs, and other lab equipment lay strewn about or in wreck cabinets.

[20:55:34] Gabrielle pauses for a moment and looks to the spiders "Ill see if these have any other glands we can use"

[20:55:39] <@DMbrew> Obviously the raiders did not come in here too much.

[20:57:37] Strange_Brew carefully sets her beaker down. "I crafted a potent brew, he will be fine in a few. I think he needs not that potion, those burns look like they could use some lotion." She starts to put her alchemy kit back in her saddlebags.

[20:58:26] Karamanthos nods and pops the cork off his potion and drinks it down. Afterwards Kara goes about taking the charts, graphs...even the pony skeletons on display!

[20:58:35] Gabrielle winces as she puls out the last of the glands and looks over to Strange_Brew "I got more ingredients for ya" she calls out and hands the zony 7 poison glands

[20:58:39] Shooting_Star flops. "Well.... that was invigourating..."

[20:58:52] Clerk walks over to the teachers desk and starts rifling through the drawers.

[20:59:22] Strange_Brew takes the glands and stores them with the others. "Thank you for these glands..." She looks over at Shooting Star before continuing. "I hope that popcorn was not too bland?"

[21:00:17] Shooting_Star looks at Strange_Brew. "Just about burned my tastebuds off."

[21:01:09] Strange_Brew nods to herself, slipping her saddlebags on as she begins to look around the room. "I have caught your hint, next time I'll add some mint."

[21:01:36] Gabrielle smirks and looks over to Shooting_Star "Interesting idea though.. Popcorn?"

[21:01:49] Karamanthos speaks as he rummages about "just a reccommendation but before we move on, lets cook up the rest of any anti-venoms we can make? better to have some than none and die with ingredients on us.

[21:01:54] Shooting_Star gets up. "What about it?"

[21:02:54] Gabrielle shakes her head "JUst never thought of using it as an anti venom cure"

[21:03:57] <@DMbrew> Karamanthos moves from display to display, and gets somewhat wrapped up in them, while Clerk finds that once again, the teacher's desk is locked. Strange Brew hears more sounds coming from behind that heavy door. Like someone is comforting another. Shooting Star is durping out as always. Jack picks through the litter on the floor. It's Gabrielle who notices, up in one of the shelves, a very large looking leather bag.

[21:04:35] Gabrielle tilts her headnoticing the bag and gives a hop grabbing the item and setting it down on the ground "Well well well"

[21:05:00] <Clerk> "Anyone know how to pick locks? The desk is locked."

[21:05:17] Gabrielle chuckles "Just give Shooting_Star a stick"

[21:05:18] Strange_Brew pauses in her observations. "That would be wise, these antidotes are quite the prize." She starts to take out the alchemy supplies, but pauses as she looks at the door. "Unless my ears are phony, I believe beyond that door hides another pony."

[21:06:03] Karamanthos chuckles as he headtilts at one of the charts"wierd...Uni's have a magic production facility below the frontal lobe....

[21:06:05] Shooting_Star looks at Gabrielle. "a stick?"

[21:06:31] Strange_Brew perks her ears at Clerk's mention of a locked desk. "I can pick a lock, in the tick of a clock."

[21:06:43] Gabrielle shrugs "Or a chunk of concrete" she mutters refferring to his actions earlier in the classroom "Or he can whisper to it"

[21:06:47] <@DMbrew> *Jack looks underneath one of the desks, and spots a distressing sight. Long ago, some young pony has taped a knife, a very sizable one at that, to the underside of their desk.

[21:07:06] Shooting_Star blinks... "waaaaaaatohright!"

[21:07:19] Shooting_Star zips over. "I can haz make give halp?"

[21:08:13] Clerk smiles. "Then why don't you give this lock a try, Brew."

[21:08:22] Gabrielle shaes her head at Shootings response before heading over to JAck and giving him the doctors bag

[21:08:32] Strange_Brew sets her saddle bags on the floor, shaking her head before she takes out her bobby pins and screwdriver. "Whisper to the desk pegasi, and its insides we shall spy." She saunters over to the desk and starts in on picking the lock.

[21:08:53] <Karamanthos> uhm..someone check the door with the hidden pony? we are in raider-land yaknow...

[21:09:00] <@DMbrew> *Jack looks to the brown bag, and peers inside for a moment, before grinning and nodding "This will do nicely to keep you all in one piece. Little skimpy on the goods though..."

[21:09:24] Gabrielle nods and pulls out her carbine before approaching the door Karamanthos is talking about

[21:10:12] Karamanthos moves to cover Gabrielle while she checks the mysterious door.

[21:11:29] Shooting_Star leans over the desk and strokes the top, resting his head on it. "Oh... oh desk... tell me your secrets... you've been a naughty desk, haven't you...."

[21:12:36] <@DMbrew> As Strange Brew pops open the lock, inside she sees a few yellowed pictures of a goatee wearing unicorn, proudly wearing a police uniform, his fetlock wrapped around a rather short and squat, but still lovely looking mare. "To keep you safe, Brass Case." Inside is a .38 police issue revolver, with a stub nose and a permit of so some.

[21:13:04] <@DMbrew> of some sort*


[21:13:23] <@DMbrew> There is also a box of ammo.

[21:15:02] Shooting_Star strokes the desk. "Was it good for you?" He looks at Strange_Brew. "Yooooooooooooooooooooooou're welcome!"

[21:16:14] Jack` [[email protected]] joined the channel.

[21:17:05] Strange_Brew slides open the door and tilts her head over the picture. "Thank you for this gift long dead pony, we shall use it well, so says this zony." Finishing her prayer, she takes out the .38 Police issue revolver and the ammo and puts it on the desk. "Thank you pony of flight, you talked to the desk just right." She takes the permit and picture in her mouth, walking back to her saddle bags. As she...

[21:17:06] Strange_Brew ...does, she gives a playful wink at Gabrielle.

[21:18:21] Gabrielle shoots a look ti Shooting_Star and chuckles giving her head a shake before returning her attention to the door

[21:18:51] Shooting_Star gets off the table and gives it a wink. "call me." he trots after the group.

[21:19:37] <@DMbrew> The door is... Quite a Door! It looks like something you would see inside a military installation, or a ship bulkhead. Red lights, still powered by some spark of energy, glow balefully at the top, letting all know "None shall pass." A small keypad rests to one side of it. Obviously it was a simple code to enter.

[21:19:44] Karamanthos crouches near Gabrielle, waiting to pounce whatever is on the otherside of the door should it prove hostile.

[21:20:17] Gabrielle pokes Karamanthos "Arnt you good at computers and such? See if you can get it open"

[21:20:49] Karamanthos nods and points at Jack "yeah I am but Jack's got a security key that will likely work.

[21:21:18] <@DMbrew> There is no keycard slot on the door.

[21:21:42] Clerk raises his hoof. "Actually, I have the keycard."

[21:21:52] Strange_Brew slips the permit and pictures into her bag, looking at the others. "Did you want me to start to cook, or were we going to take a look?"

[21:21:58] <@DMbrew> Those close to the door and the wall hear... Something, you are not sure what, speaking behind the door. The voice is too muffled and distorted to make out clearly.

[21:22:31] Karamanthos relaxes his stance and approaches to give the keycode lock a mental once over "hrmm....lemme play with this but while I doo someone bang on the door to see if anyone on the otherside can open it for us.?

[21:22:39] Clerk turns to Strange Brew. "Maybe you should cook those antidotes up first. Better safe then sorry, right?"

[21:23:15] Gabrielle nods and looks for a rock before using it to bang on the door

[21:23:54] <Karamanthos> Go ahead and cook them up, it'll take me a few minutes to do this even if it does work.

[21:24:15] Shooting_Star juggles what explosives he has left. "So what's the plan? Open and boom, boom open boom, or just boom?"

[21:24:21] <@DMbrew> The voice behind the door goes quiet at Gabrielle hits the door.

[21:24:47] Gabrielle frowns and redies her carbine in case anything happens "Open up!"

[21:25:13] <@DMbrew> No responce.

[21:25:37] Shooting_Star "We have candy and porn!" he shouts at the door.

[21:25:50] Jack` says " I don't know if they can understand us..."

[21:26:25] <@DMbrew> After a long moment, you hear in the same distorted voice "Qui estis vos?"

[21:26:26] Strange_Brew nods at Clerk and Kara. "Alright, this will take some time, but I have the ingredients and the slime." She looks up at the pegasus juggling explosives. "If your plan is to make things explode, may I use borrow a stick to help our enemies hit the road?"

[21:26:48] Karamanthos fiddles with the lock code sequencer for a moment "well, its got power to it oddly..thats good"Kara squats down to remove the side maintenance panel to have a look at it's innards."

[21:28:41] Shooting_Star juggles. "Aint got no boomsticks. Just these Thermal Detonators." he catches one in his mouth and drops it into a hoof. "Fiyabombs, baby!"

[21:30:18] Gabrielle frowns "I kinda recognize the language..."

[21:30:25] Strange_Brew frowns after a moment. "I do not think it would be wise to use those inside, unless you want this building to become a fiery hayride."

[21:30:26] Karamanthos pauses in his work momentarily "Gabrielle, they're asking who are we?, its a really old dialect of Latin

[21:30:45] Gabrielle shrugs "I guess. I dont really know"

[21:31:10] <@DMbrew> After fiddling with the door keypad for a while, eventually Karamanthos manages to cross the stream of power just right, and with a FRTIIIZTIX and a Ping, the door's lights turn green, and it falls away into the ground with a hydrallic hiss.

[21:31:14] Shooting_Star looks around. "Dude... that sounds awesome.
.."
[21:32:04] <@DMbrew> Inside is the forementioned supply room! But everything inside is covered, and I mean COVERED in a thich layer of cobwebs and the drained husks of small woodland animals. Only a small amount of light makes it inside. You hear breathing coming from within, very deep and slow.

[21:32:26] <@DMbrew> Again, the voice, very clearly not a pony's, rings out "Qui estis vos?!"

[21:32:42] Gabrielle readies her weapons and peers inside "What the heck is anything doing in here?"

[21:32:58] Karamanthos softly responds "nos sumus hic eruere vos.

[21:32:59] Shooting_Star looks at the group. "Okay, who wants to put bets? I say giant mutant sentient spider.'

[21:33:31] Jack` looks at shooting "Oh no, I hope not. Please no."

[21:34:04] Strange_Brew raises her pump rifle, charging it three times before aiming into the darkness. "I would hope not Pegasi, poison of large spiders would make your system cry."

[21:34:07] Shooting_Star holds a firebomb. "relax. We can just use this if all goes bad."

[21:34:29] Shooting_Star flips upside down. "is that alright with you, Nurse Jackie?

[21:34:41] <@DMbrew> *Liar! Killer! Brute!* The voice yells back. You hear shuffling coming from within.

[21:34:47] Gabrielle frowns "Back home there were stories, tales o things that spoke that language..." she mutters tryingto think of something to say "*We're Here to help*" she tries to say,

[21:34:55] <Karamanthos> Lets be calm here gang, lets not provoke this...whatever it is..its sitting in the supply room I saw the inventory of earlier today.

[21:36:06] <Karamanthos> **Who are you? we came to stop the raiders from mudering the caravan ponies...if you seek to not harm us, we shall not harm you**

[21:36:17] Gabrielle tenses "GUys, lower your weapons," hopefully it might help the thing inside realize they mean well. Lowering the carbine gab raies her claws up, palms facing in

[21:36:28] <Gabrielle> ( er, Out )

[21:36:42] <@DMbrew> *Proof! Blood covers you! Smell it!"

[21:36:43] Shooting_Star is upside down. "dohkay." he puts his stuff away.

[21:37:21] Strange_Brew arches an eyebrow, but lowers the pump charge rifle, letting it hang around her neck by the strap.

[21:37:30] Clerk scrunches up his nose in confusion. "Anyone else catching any of this?"

[21:37:31] Jack` sits confused, and leans over to Clerk. "I have no idea what they're saying. You?"

[21:37:34] Karamanthos continues to speak in the old dialect **Then what can we do to prove we wish you no harm?**

[21:38:14] <@DMbrew> A pause. You hear chittering and a plaintive "wrrry..." come from within, before more shuffling.

[21:38:38] Gabrielle tries to remember more from the stories but reaches a blank wall

[21:39:02] Strange_Brew shakes her head. "The language is not of zebra tongue, and none I have ever heard sung."

[21:39:49] Karamanthos mumbles to his comrades "I'm trying to bargain with whatever it is for it to surrender so we don't have to fight each other"

[21:42:10] Jack` looks at Kara "I have no idea what it's saying, all you dragon."

[21:42:39] <@DMbrew> Since none of the party stepped into the room, an obvious wise decision, they hear more and more shuffling, before appearing around the doorframe... Is the strangest looking pony you have ever seen. *No swords...* She is short and rather rotund, and has a mixture of mammalian and arachnoid features, much like the wolf spiders. Plates of chitin cover her hide, and she has two extra pairs of eyes, one above the other, and a pair on top. A pair of mandibles rest next to her otherwise pony mouth.

[21:42:42] Shooting_Star hmmmms. "Is it Asspanol?"

[21:42:45] Karamanthos chuckles and nods "I am open to suggestions...

[21:43:42] <@DMbrew> Her tail no longer exists, now the abodomen of a spider. What coat she has left is a royal purple color, with a tie dyed mane of blue shades. She narrows her inpony like eyes at the party, and in a distorted, unearthly voice she says in plain Equestrian "You are not raiders..."

[21:44:04] Gabrielle winces and resists the urge to open fire on... Whatever she is

[21:44:33] Karamanthos blinks several times and the strange looking creature, not moving from the door lock **No...we are not raiders...what are you if I may ask? I've never seen your kind before..**

[21:45:05] Shooting_Star 's eyes grow large. "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow..."

[21:45:38] <@DMbrew> She resists the urge to look at herself at the question, before glaring at Karamanthos's rather pointed question. "I am a pony! Or... I.. was a pony..."

[21:46:26] Gabrielle raises an eyebrow "And why are you in a school?"

[21:46:33] Strange_Brew sits down in shock.

[21:46:38] Jack` gulps, "And what happened?"

[21:47:37] <@DMbrew> The Spider Pony looks back and forth, and begins to shy back into her domain, the sight of six heavily armed and armored sentients, who wanted nothing more than to ask her questions, a bit much for the reclusive soul. "I have always been here... I don't remember anywhere else but here..."

[21:47:45] Karamanthos nods very slowly, still staring in awe at the spider-pony "wow..just..wo**ahem...well, if those smaller spiders were yours...we are sorry that we killed them but they attacked us giving us no choice but to defend ourselves. Is there anything we can help you with? You were trapped inside there.**

[21:48:25] Gabrielle nudges Karamanthos "Shes speeking equestrian now, you can relax"

[21:50:01] Shooting_Star prods Strange_Brew. "She the pony from the photo?" he whispers

[21:50:54] <@DMbrew> She just slinks back more into her den as Kara tries to speak with her. "They are not nice to ponies..." She says in a hushed tone.

[21:52:17] <Clerk> Woah! My power just flashed.

[21:52:18] Karamanthos blinks and then looks at Gabrielle with a goofy shrug "ohh..uhm..I just thought it ..she would perfer it over Equestrian...

[21:52:37] Gabrielle nosd "Well it doesnt matter now... "

[21:54:03] <Jack`> Please, Ms. You'll have to forgive the dragon. He isn't good with words. As you can see our group has many different species of many different cultures. We have no love for the raiders, and I am certain you can sympathise with our plight.

[21:54:44] <Jack`> We don't mean you harm, but we are as scared as you are. We've never seen any... Any pony like you before. You'll have to forgive our surprise.

[21:55:39] Strange_Brew pulls the permit out of her saddlebags, taking a closer look at it.

[21:55:53] <Jack`> So, I just want you to know we mean no harm to you, unless you mean to harm us. So how about we let bygones be bygones. We will leave you alone, if you leave us to our business. We have no quarrel with... Spider ponies, only raiders.

[21:56:09] Karamanthos back up away from the door to try to help the tension "hey Jack, see if she would like to help us get rid of the raiders?

[21:58:00] Clerk pokes his head around the doorway. "Strange Brew and I were captured by the raiders and these fine folks helped save us!"

[21:58:01] Jack` hissing to Kara. "I am not going to ask favors of a pony we just met dragon, control your greed for one second..."

[21:58:49] <@DMbrew> The mare stops her backwards trot, pausing as she looked at Jack for a good long moment. "I know... I am scared of myself..." She shuddered a few times, biting her lip and looking to the web covered floor before looking back up to Jack. "Step into my parlor, won't you?"

[21:59:06] Strange_Brew can't make heads or tails of this permit, but she steps forward with a try of certainty. "If this question is not out of place, did you know a pony named Brass Case?"

[21:59:17] Shooting_Star floats up to the cieling and watches.

[21:59:50] Karamanthos frowns at Jack, looking dejected as he shrugs "just a thought...I doubt she likes them folks either...they locked her in there....don't gotta be a dick about it.

[22:00:20] <@DMbrew> The spider mare looked to Strange Brew, her six eyes blinking in sequence. "I have never heard that name, striped one."

[22:01:44] Jack` decides, against his better judgement to entertain the request of the spider... pony... thing and step into the cobwebbed parlor.

[22:02:59] <@DMbrew> Inside is a dimly lit room, the walls lined with shelves, covered in webs. A single computer terminal sits at the end of the room, casting the white silk in a green glow. The wolf spider who retreated is perched up on top of the monitor, and its looks... sad?

[22:03:24] Strange_Brew sighs, nodding her head. "Ah, I see. I thought you might of been Hippie Dippie." The zony steps back, taking a seat.

[22:03:54] Gabrielle takes a couple steps following Jack as well

[22:04:16] Jack` gulps in nervousenes again "I- I uh like what you've... done with the place." Looks at the terminal "What is that?"

[22:04:51] Shooting_Star stays outside

[22:05:17] <@DMbrew> That name stops her cold in her tracks as she turns to look at Strange Brew with one set of eyes, the other four focused on Jack.. "Where... Did you hear that name?" She did not wait for an answer, looking at Jack. "It is all that I am."

[22:05:55] Karamanthos shrugs and goes to a corner of the classroom to sit down. Kara pulls out some of his loot from earlier in the day and starts looking over the set of gaming figurines he netted."

[22:06:27] <Jack`> "... Mind if I take a look?"

[22:06:46] Shooting_Star flutters down in front of Karamanthos. "Whatyagotthere?"

[22:06:50] Gabrielle keeps standing there watching silently in case this is all one big trap

[22:07:17] <@DMbrew> She focused all eyes on Jack. "Yes. Very much so." She took a step back, standing between the terminal and him. "Do you know the story of the scholar with only one book?"

[22:08:18] <Clerk> "It must have been a good one."

[22:08:31] Karamanthos sets out a few of the painted figurines to show Shooting "I got these from one of the classrooms earlier...I think it was when you were getting that popcorn and other snacks. But to explain shortly, these are for playing games, you get to move them around on a map to represent where your character would be for combats in a game"

[22:09:02] <@DMbrew> "Long ago, there was a scholar. He knew all the secrets to the universe, but he had but one book to write them down in. So he wrote them down. He wrote until the pages were nothing but black sheets of ink, with the smallest spaces between. Then, he began to write in white ink, and everything he knew from before was destroyed, replaced by the new."

[22:09:04] Shooting_Star stoops low. "Coool. Tell me about em." he prods one.

[22:09:16] Gabrielle gets a strange feeling of deja-vu as she hears what Kara says

[22:09:48] Strange_Brew nods at the spider. "I found it on a permit, my surprise I must admit, that you would know that name, perhaps young minds you did tame?"

[22:10:59] <@DMbrew> She let out a sigh that rattled in her throat, and pointed to the terminal. "That, is my one book...." She lifted her gaze to Strange Brew "You speak in an odd way, striped one... Yes, I know the name. Why, I do not know."

[22:11:24] Karamanthos peers oddly at Shooting and shrugs "uhm...well..they're some sortof metal...they're painted very well, cause .....*Kara pauses in thought for a moment as if distracted by something* "cause they aren't chipped or faded any...I found them on a map just sitting there where some gamers were playing when the bombs fell"

[22:11:46] Jack` ponders the story for a moment, and replies. "The scholar was a nearsighted fool."

[22:13:01] <Clerk> "Yeah, he should have written the most important stuff... Or made more books since he had all the knowledge in the universe."

[22:13:06] Strange_Brew chuckles at the spider. "You are not the first to think odd of my rhyme, may I step inside?"

[22:13:19] <@DMbrew> She nearly shrugged, the air filled with the south of chitin scraping together. "He worked with what he had, just as I."

[22:13:35] Jack` continues."What's the point of having knowledge if you don't share it with others? Knowledge is useless if it's kept inside."

[22:13:57] <@DMbrew> "And if you knew all the secrets of the universe, do you think any library would have enough parchment to scrawl it all upon?"

[22:14:23] Shooting_Star looks up at Karamanthos. "Playing while the bombs fell." he sits. "Poor dudes..."

[22:14:39] <@DMbrew> She gave Jack a slight glare "That is the thinking that caused this to happen, foal."

[22:14:43] <Jack`> "If you had that knowledge, would you only want to place into one book? Sharing knowledge is the only way to ensure it survives."

[22:14:59] Gabrielle continues to sit there quietly, waiting for /something/ interesting to happen

[22:16:26] Karamanthos peers at his gamer figs some more, picking up one and blinking, "interesting....hey Shooting, call me crazy but...I think this one figurine here resembles Jack....or moreso the jacket he's wearing...thats really creepy"

[22:17:40] <@DMbrew> She seemed ready to burst out at Jack, but seemed to deflate, letting out another sigh. She gestured at the Wolf spider, who rose from its perch and scurried over to the mare, crawling onto what remained of her mane. "You speak as a learned soul. Very well..." She stepped aside. "There is a great deal there, and I can not promise it will all be of use to you."

[22:17:44] Shooting_Star looks it over. "Nurse JAckie...?"\

[22:19:04] Jack` ignores Shooting. "Thank you, I know this terminal must mean a lot to you. I won't let the more... Destructive members of my party touch it." glares at shooting, and then proceeds to the teminal too see what's on it.

[22:20:37] Strange_Brew question left unanswered, Strange walks over to where the others are. "I am not a nurse, but my help I offer, if to it you are not averse."

[22:22:02] <@DMbrew> The terminal is booted and ready. As you open the file directory, THOUSAND UPON THOUSANDS of documents fill up the screen, the scroll bar working double time to resize itself to fit.

[22:22:41] Jack` looks at the others,

[22:22:51] <Jack`> "anyone got a pipbuck?"

[22:23:01] <@DMbrew> The spider mare offers a slight smirk. "I told you it was my one book."

[22:23:07] Clerk shakes his head. "Nope."

[22:23:31] Gabrielle cocks her head to the side "A what?"

[22:23:36] Jack` looks for journal entry.

[22:23:42] Strange_Brew turns her head to jack. "Of this device you speak, I think your prospects are rather weak."

[22:23:47] <Karamanthos> Im not sure what help you can do...I mean...they're just gaming figs...I think

[22:25:08] Strange_Brew turns back to the dragon. "Gaming figs? Are they some type of twigs?"

[22:25:31] Karamanthos looks up and shouts at the open door "Hey Jack!? If ya can hear me...ask her how she got here? and how she got turned into a spider-pony? its kinda important!

[22:26:43] Karamanthos sets the figurines down and pulls out the DMnotes from the long unfinished campaign to skim them over in a quick read.

[22:27:17] Strange_Brew takes a closer look at the figurines, trying to see what makes them special.

[22:27:33] <@DMbrew> She winces as the voice carries quick easily into her small chamber, only the thick padding of webbing keeping it from echoing. "Your scaled friend has no tact with ladies, does he?" She fumed a little, her mandibles twitching slightly before she... Walked up the wall and over the ceiling, neatly bypassing Jack as she stepped into the medical room, looking down at Karamanthos "The first, I have always been in there as long as I can remember

[22:27:41] Shooting_Star looks at Strange_Brew. "I think they're neat."

[22:27:43] Clerk stands outside the Spider Mare's room, watching her and Jack intently. He shudders slightly, the sight of her giving him the creeps, and stays on edge to watch for any sign of an attack while Jack searches throught the terminal.

[22:28:08] <@DMbrew> looking down at Karamanthos "The first, I have always been in there, as long as I can remember. As for how? I do not know. I only remember being like this. But I know I wasn't always like this. No pony is like this. Except for me..."

[22:29:19] Karamanthos looks up at the voice above him and gawks as he points at the figurines "uhm...uhh..uhm....I dunno how...or wh'why but I think I know how you came to be miss...miss pony?

[22:29:36] Strange_Brew stands from her examination, walking over to as close as she can get. "I also found a picture with the name, perhaps this can jog your brain?" She lifts the picture, set so the back is facing the spider-pony.

[22:31:00] Gabrielle hums a tune to herself silently sot he mare thing cant hear her "Spidermare, Spidermare, dose whatever a spider dares..."

[22:32:08] <@DMbrew> She narrowed all six eyes at the dragon, her earlier shyness burnt away. She looked down at Strange Brew and neatly scooped up the pictures, the images clinging to her hoof like velcro. "She looked at them with one eye, the other five staring at Karamanthos. "If you weren't playing with colt toys, I'd be offended. Instead, you look like a nerd. I like nerds. They listen." She looked at the picture for a long moment, before dropping them bac

[22:32:42] <@DMbrew> I like nerds, they listen." She looked at the picture for a long moment, before dropping them back down to Strange Brew "She looks familiar, but I do not know why. Someone I knew in a past life?"

[22:33:16] Shooting_Star rests his head on the table.

[22:33:58] Karamanthos continues in his stammerspeech, the dragon crealy unnerved by the Spider-pony "we-we-well I think those lil figurines...or uhm..uhh err..well, the ponies who those represented...made you what you are!"

[22:35:45] <@DMbrew> She looked at the seven small figures, walking down the wall to get a closer look at them. She clung to the wall like it was solid ground, leaning in close to stare at them. "And what makes you believe that, scale born? They look like toys. Well made toys, but toys none the less..."

[22:36:18] Strange_Brew catches the falling photo, putting it back in her saddlebags. "Its possible, though perhaps not. I was thinking it was here you might have taught." The mare steps back, giving the spider-mare and the dragon some distance.

[22:36:26] Karamanthos blinks and swallows "uhm...be-because one of them winked at me and nodded?

[22:37:04] Clerk [[email protected]] has quit (Quit: lightIRC.com Flash IRC Client).

[22:37:32] Gabrielle continues to hum idly |Spins a web, any size, catches thieves just like fies... Look out! Here comes the spider maare" she then makes a mental note to remember this for later.. Finish the tune when they were not sitting in a raider filled school.

[22:39:55] Shooting_Star flaps his wings and floats over to Gabrielle. "heeeeeeeeeey Gabby."

[22:40:32] Gabrielle frowns at the slightly crazed pegasus as he approaches "Uh... Hey"

[22:40:43] Shooting_Star sits. "What ya doin?"

[22:41:01] Gabrielle shrugs "Sitting"

[22:41:19] Shooting_Star nods. "Uh huh." he looks around. "So what's happening now?"

[22:41:36] <@DMbrew> The spider mare just looked at the dragon for a moment, before staring back at the figures. "You have an over active imagination, whelp. These look like pewter figures."

[22:42:01] Gabrielle shrugs yet again "Nothing... JUst waiting for Jack to finish whatever hes doing so we can finish up"

[22:42:34] Shooting_Star "And what is he doing?" he looks back at Gabby.

[22:43:25] Karamanthos nods and grabs up the DMnotes in his paws and points at them "these notes say that the pony that wrote them really really liked spiders and critters like spiders cause he used them an awful lot...that and I've been feelin really wierd....I don't think Shooting's insanity is rubbing off on me....

[22:44:00] Gabrielle leans back and flinches as she gets herself coverd a bit in web "Dunno, Ask him"

[22:44:36] Shooting_Star shrugs. "Eh." he looks up and around. "I'm boooored."

[22:45:15] Gabrielle chuckles a bit "Well theres not much i can do to alleviate that"

[22:45:42] Shooting_Star smiles. "Ha. I made you laugh." He blinks and thinks. "Well... chuckle..." He shrugs. "Its something."

[22:46:25] <@DMbrew> She hoofed at one of the figures, watching to rock side to side on its plastic base. "I do not think the idle scribblings of a nerd could have resulted in the horror that is my existence, scaled one."

[22:46:48] <@DMbrew> "If it could, I would revive him from the dead, just so I could kill him myself."

[22:47:21] Gabrielle wing shrugs :I supose... So you're from above the clouds right? Anything interesting above us?"

[22:47:49] Jack` lets out a sigh, flabbergasted by the sheer amount of information. And proceeds to walk out of the webbed room, to the talking in the other room "Okay, wow... Lot's of info, amazing that one terminal has that much information." Jack looks up at spidermare. "Ooookay..."

[22:48:32] Shooting_Star hmmmms. He looks up and thinks. "Above us... do you mean directly above us, or in general above us?"

[22:48:39] <Karamanthos> "No not in and of themselves miss mare..but I have a working theory going on in my head currently..that maybe..just maybe...when the balefire struck nearby all those years ago. All of the massive amounts of magical energies released hit this place and perverted it...basically warping and twisting you into what the pony wrote about on these papers...I mean...it could happen....I think?"

[22:49:02] Gabrielle nods "I guess... Or the area in general.. "

[22:50:04] Shooting_Star scratches his chin. "Directly above us... uuh... nothing. I think the farms are looking to extend to this area, but nothing. In general an entire clean happy society run by the Enclave government." He frowns. "Now that I think about it... I think they were lying to us..."

[22:50:32] Jack` stares at Kara, mouth agape. "You've been hanging around shooting too much there Karamanthos..."

[22:50:49] Gabrielle tilts her head to the side "Lying? How?"

[22:51:49] Shooting_Star hmms. "Well... they said there was nothing down here but disease and its completely toxic." He looks himself over. "Either they were lying, or heaven's shitty."

[22:51:52] <@DMbrew> She blinked in sequence again, eying the figures for a moment. "I know the balefire twisted all it touched... But to twist the dreams of a buck into this? Add another pony to the revive and kill list..." She actually pulled out a book, which was a small blue notepad with "THE LIST" in blackwords on the front. She scribbled something down

[22:52:56] Strange_Brew chuckles at Kara. "I have heard of no such thing, and I promise I am not lying. Unless I miss my guess Miss Mare, the wolf spiders are aware?"

[22:53:53] Karamanthos looks over at Jack, himself blushing in embarrassment "but Jack!, even one of the figs looks exactly like your mane...what are the odds of that?

[22:53:53] Gabrielle nods "Well maybe it is a toxic dump in comparison... mean ive heard its rather nice up there..."

[22:54:32] Shooting_Star nod nods. "It is. Its like the world never ended up there." He looks up and sighs, looking very longing and sad.

[22:54:47] <@DMbrew> She returned the notepad to a small satchel, looking at Strange_Brew. "No. They are like any other beast." She reached up and stroked the Wolf Spider resting on her head and neck. It made a wrrrr sound of a purr. "But like any beast, they can be tamed by the right soul, I suppose."

[22:56:05] Gabrielle nods "Im guessing you're not here by choice then..."

[22:57:49] <@DMbrew> She nodded, looking to Gabrielle "I have been trapped in that room for as long as I remember. Raiders tried to climb in through the roof a few times..." She pointed up, to the holes in the western part of the ceiling. "They did not last long."

[22:58:04] Strange_Brew nods in agreement. "I can understand, my father had a farm, can you ask them to occupy the classrooms on the north end, so we do not bring them any harm?"

[22:58:35] Shooting_Star sighs and looks down. "No..."

[22:58:51] <Jack`> "Now that you're free... What will you do?"

[23:00:01] <@DMbrew> She looked up at the Wolf Spider on top of her. "This little one is all that remains of the pack, if you cleared out the northern hive." She did not sound sad. "I heard them screaming, so I imagined the raiders were trying to purge them again. I guess you had more luck with that."

[23:01:00] Gabrielle tries to find a more comfortable position to relax "So what happened?"

[23:01:11] Karamanthos sighs and gives up trying to explain his hairbrained theory and just quietly goes about packing his gaming stuff back in his bag.

[23:01:45] Shooting_Star takes a few moments to try and compose himself. "I... was framed for a bad thing that happened...

[23:01:46] <Shooting_Star> '"

[23:02:31] Strange_Brew nods. "I am sorry to cause them pain, we thought they were not pets, but a part of the land, like the rain. Are there any hives in the other rooms, so we don't turn them into tombs?"

[23:02:40] <@DMbrew> She watched as Kara put away the figures. "It would take a deranged mind to dream up such a world as this. Perhaps he merely saw the writing on the wall? Or perhaps he just had a thing for spiders... I wouldn't mind finding a buck like that..." She said idly as she walked back up the wall and along the ceiling.

[23:03:08] Gabrielle nods and gives him a smal smile "Wel buck up. You're in good company now... So long as you dont blow any of us up ... Well... If its Jack i wont complain"

[23:03:08] <@DMbrew> "They are not pets. A pet implies a desire to have. These little ones just flock to me. Perhaps they see me as a mother?"

[23:03:46] Shooting_Star sniffs and looks at Gabrielle, still upset. "...can I have a hug...?"

[23:04:36] Gabrielle pauses for a moment then gives him one. "You still need a bath though..."

[23:05:28] Strange_Brew gives a simple grin. "Even more of a reason not to fight, if they see you as a mother to guide them in the dark, and the light."

[23:05:29] <@DMbrew> The spider wrrred at her, and she gave it a a cross eyed stare. "Oh hush you. Your not insane like the rest." Wrry! "Yes yes. Now hush, before you creep out the company... I managed to train a few to actually listen to me, instead of just bring me corpses to drain."

[23:05:43] Shooting_Star hugs the hippogriff tight. "...fine..." he mutters, then sniffs. "thanks." he whispers.

[23:06:23] Jack` looks at Spidermare "So, I don't want to impose but is there any way you can help us on our quest to clear out this school?"

[23:07:06] Gabrielle chuckles and pulls out of the hug "Well, actually i think we all need one... Between the spiders and raiders... I wonder if we could drag a couple clods down for some cold showers..."

[23:07:07] Karamanthos looks up at the spider-mare after finishing his packing and shrugs "well...the game he wrote was titled 'One Last Roll: A Farewell to Kin and Friends' you were probably right there...if you ever run intop a pony with a book under a tree for a cutie mark...that's your pony miss mare."

[23:07:38] Shooting_Star thinks. "I could probably do that..." He looks up. "You ever seen the sky, Gabby?"

[23:08:02] <@DMbrew> She nodded. "Imagine he is dust and bones, like the rest of those before us. Perhaps I will meet him on the Twilight Shores. I will be sure to buck him in the gonads if I see him."

[23:08:43] Gabrielle shakes her head "Nope. Mom, the mare who adopted me i mean, warned me to never go up there... WE lived high on a mountain and didnt want to attract any attention from you guys, er, the guys in charge up there"

[23:09:13] Shooting_Star nods and looks back. "Remind me to show you it sometime."

[23:09:48] Karamanthos stands back up and goes to sit on the large desk that was locked earlier, rubbing his snout suddenly as though something slapped or bit him there "the hell?...uhm...you all wanna get going on the getting rid of the raiders thing?"

[23:10:29] <@DMbrew> She trotted across the ceiling and back into her room, lightly setting the spider down before stepping out, on the same level with everyone else. "You can not guide an untamed mind. A few respond well, yes, but as I was unable to leave here, I could not see what they were doing out of my sight. While the cat is away..."

[23:11:08] Gabrielle nods "Will do..."

[23:11:10] <@DMbrew> "Only the little one actually stayed close by at all times. Never left this classroom except to hunt. I am glad she was smart enough to back away."

[23:11:42] Shooting_Star sniffs and nods. "Should be safe, if we make it quick." He sighs once more and stares at the floor.

[23:12:40] Gabrielle thinks for a moment "How can they tell though? Do they have machines to detect if ponies and others go up there?"

[23:12:58] Strange_Brew nods at the spider mare. "Then we should leave, if we want to cleanse the raiders before this eve."

[23:13:41] Shooting_Star thinks. "It depends... they never really tell the public, not even cadets." He's wearing what remains of his cadet uniform (which isn't too badly damaged) under his armour. "My dad might know... but I don't think we'll be able to find him."

[23:14:16] <@DMbrew> She actually smiled, hearing Strange_Brew say that. It was a slightly disturbing sight, her mandibles unsheathing the syringe like fangs held within, but the warm smile on her face disarmed them.

[23:14:49] <@DMbrew> "If you manage to purge those bastards from my home, I will be in your debt. I know there are more terminals here I could use. I'd have two, maybe three books!"

[23:15:37] <Karamanthos> "there is a terminal in the north rooms miss mare

[23:16:18] Gabrielle nods "WEl they must if they can detect us... Thats rather annoying... Dont the griffons live up there also though?" she had no idea what the griffons did, only the ttales in her village that spoke of them being ble to walk on clouds as well

[23:16:58] <@DMbrew> All six of her eyes shot open like she had been tased, and she leapt at the dragon! Only to collide with a thump, her legs wrapped around him as she blurted out thank yous in about twelve different languages before BOLTING out the door like the hounds of hell were nipping her spinnerets.

[23:17:01] Strange_Brew smiles back, looking at the others. "Then be ready to write, for those raiders will feel our might." Strange looks over at the rest of the group.

[23:17:19] Shooting_Star shakes his head. "I've never seen any griffins up there. We kinda had a war with them..."

[23:17:39] <Jack`> "Crap.. I wanted to ask her if she had anything we could use...

[23:18:03] Gabrielle frowns. THat was not the response she had been expecting "I see..... Do you know how long ago that was?"

[23:18:24] Strange_Brew looks over at Jack. "Well, I do not think she will mind if we take a look, we are allowing her to write at least one book."

[23:18:25] Shooting_Star hmmms... "I... think about 25 to 50 years ago."

[23:18:39] Karamanthos blinks in sudden shock and suprise "Da wha huh? uhm...you-your we-welcome!?"

[23:19:59] Strange_Brew continues on. "If we find something we can take, perhaps that item she would forsake."

[23:20:28] Gabrielle glances out to see the spidermare assault Karamanthos before vanishing "Making friends?" she called out before returning her attention to Star "Well its before my time i guess..."

[23:20:35] Jack` looks at Strange, "Yeah I guess you're right. But, no offense I don't want to loot a half spider pony mutant's room."

[23:21:11] Strange_Brew nods in agreement. "Perhaps its for the best, and this is her just giving us a test."

[23:21:26] Shooting_Star nods. "And before mine. I don't remember the reason." He looks at the ground.

[23:22:20] Strange_Brew pauses in thought. "Perhaps we can ask her to take what she does not want, a reward for removing the raiders from her haunt?"

[23:22:21] Karamanthos stammers as he stands up from the desk looking at himself in a stupor "da uhh erhhm...uhm? ohh..we could go ask her if she has any supplies she could help us with in there...we did free her and stuff...

[23:24:14] Strange_Brew pauses for a moment, before wandering out to where the other terminal was mentioned, looking for the spider-mare.

[23:25:05] Gabrielle nods "Probably the same reason anyone ever goes to war. THey wanted something the griffons had"[23:25:16] Shooting_Star "maybe..." he mutters.

[23:25:50] <@DMbrew> And with that, the party pauses for a few minutes, after bullrushing into the Raider Den with what some might call reckless abandon, or what others would call a bold move. Clearing the first line of raiders, along with some of the horrible megafauna of the region, the party discover Spider Mare, a yet unknown soul, trapped within the highschool supply room. Who is she? What is she? Why is she? These questions and more, next time on PONY BAL

[23:26:36] <@DMbrew> Who is she? What is she? Why is she? And where are the raiders? These questions and more, next time on PONY BALL Z!

[23:26:50] <@DMbrew> Session ends, 1000xp for combat and diplomacy.
