Group_16 session 1

[19:01:09]	¤¤¤ Group 16, Session I ¤¤¤
[19:01:29]	The northern corners of Equestria were a hard region to settle in – short summers and merciless winters were hard to cope with lack of preparation. This was not remedied by The Great War and the balefire bombs that brought an end to the decade-long hostilities - and the organized government all over the world.
[19:02:07]	In this cold land that had been ravaged by war generations ago, ponies are still trying to cope. Some turn to the life of raiding and slaving, some try to find shelter from settlements build within the ruins of pre-war towns or put together from scavenged parts. And some move south in the hope of more hospitable weather, braving the dangers the Wasteland has to offer. A very selected...
[19:02:09]	...few, however, travel to the region seeking opportunities.
[19:03:08]	Our story centers around a rather strange group making their way along the Equestrian coastline with a vessel hardly seaworthy. They had their motivations, but all thought they'd find what they wanted from the Northern Wastes.
[19:03:09]	As the vessel neared its final destination, dodging any ice rafts that had floated from further North, the group could see the end of their sea journey – a small coastal settlement, put together from scrap and somewhat repaired buildings. Their boat docked to the settlement's harbour, their first touch with the cold wastes.
[19:04:42]	MAP UPDATE: Bridjefjord
[19:06:23]	Bridjefjord is a small, coastal settlement, build around the main square by the port. It is also the only port that is connected to a ferry route, allowing travel by sea to and from the region. It also has been fenced off from the rest of the Wasteland by pieces of concrete.
[19:07:46]	Gearhead	looked around. Her gaze cold as the wastes they were now in, and far more calculative. She had found this group by chance, and had decided to join them, since it was only logical.
[19:09:21]	Waak|Overcolt	To the North are three houses, that were destroyed during the War, have been rebuild using scavenged scrap. On top of the middle house is a weathered roadsign, on which is hastily painted ”DOCTOR” in red spray paint.
[19:09:37]	-->|	Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP2
[19:09:52]	Waak|Overcolt	To the East are ruins of a two-storey office building, which top floor is severely damaged. On the wall stands ”TOWN HALL”. On the South side of the building is the makeshift gate to the Wasteland: an old garage with the garage door shifted to the hole in the back wall.
[19:10:22]	To the South are four houses, that were destroyed during the War, have been rebuild using scavenged scrap. One two-storey building is surprisingly well renovated, freshly painted blue with a fancy looking sign: ”HOTEL”. One of the houses is clearly an old train depot with a skeleton of a train car laying behind the building. On the large doors of the depot is a painted picture of a...
[19:10:23]	...Sparkle-Cola bottlecap. One of the houses is put together by old train parts.
[19:10:51]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	steps off of the ferry taking in the sight of this new land "Lets see her find me here"
[19:11:45]	Gearhead	stays on the ferry for just a little while longer, not wanting to be infront of anypony.
[19:12:08]	Comet_Blaze	disembarked the ship slowly, worn and ragged leather armor bundled beneath warm layers of winter coverings, a pair of goggles hanging from her neck. Even a coat as white as driven snow wasn't enough to keep a pony warm in these climates, after all. Small puffs of steam from her breath easily visible. She wasn't talking much at the moment, just sortof taking in the sights.
[19:14:25]	RadscorpionPie	looks about, her hat shifting in the breeze as her eyes go from sign to sign, smiling slightly at the painted picture of the Sparkle Cola cap. She nods to herself, before looking to Bro-Hoofs-A-Bear, trotting after him. "Now this here all's a sight ta see, but are ya'll sure this is where we should be?"
[19:15:40]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"This is the only stop I know of Miss Pie."
[19:16:33]	Kichaka	shivers and draws her cloak tighter around her. She peers around at the frozen wasteland, then mutters something under her breath.
[19:16:52]	Waak|Overcolt	The vessel did, in fact, cruised straight to this port, not stopping midway.
[19:18:26]	Gearhead	trots off the ship looking to the hotel. "We should gain a room or two." She says simply, she wanted to avoid any sort of talking that wasnt neccicary.
[19:19:46]	RadscorpionPie	shrugs. "Iff'n ya'll say, Mr. Bear, but I still think it's best if we all beware." She nods to Gearhead.
[19:19:52]	Comet_Blaze	took a deep, slow breath and let it out. "Haven't been this cold since the school trip to the snow manufacturing facilities." Slowly she began to move through town towards the hotel, taking a moment or two to give her traveling companions a glance. She didn't really know any of them all that well, having only had the trip out here to meet them. But somewhere as remote as
[19:19:53]	this, it was unlikely her past would catch up to her too soon. And who knew, maybe somepony out here would have need of a proper hero.
[19:20:30]	Silky_Shackles	looked at the sea once more with guilt-stricken eyes, holding her hat from the wind. The red mare turned away to finally enter this new land, pulling her chest high once again. Her duster didn't protect her from all cold, so she takes off after a Gearhead for a shelter.
[19:21:55]	Gearhead	starts to trot towards the hotel. She was only wearing her stable engie barding, but strangely enough, she doesnt seem bothered at all by the cold
[19:22:04]	RadscorpionPie	is fortunate for her thick apron and hat, but it doesn't give her quite all the coverage that this environment warrents. Still, she's somewhat better off than most. ^^
[19:22:17]	Kichaka	scratched a hoof against the dock, wondering how exactly she got herself into this. With a sigh, she trundled off after the others, doing her best to keep the icy wind from getting under her cloak.
[19:24:01]	Waak|Overcolt	The group trots diagonally across the square to the Hotel - it is striking out from the rest of the settlement due to its mostly renovated state and blue colour, with four small spruces decorating the front "lawn".
[19:24:14]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	is not bothered much by the cold as he had a rather thick coat "We should go check out this hotel of theres."
[19:25:13]	RadscorpionPie	"This place is prettier than most I could find... I wonder if the locals are equally as kind..." She states, as she clops along after their huge wooly friend.
[19:26:23]	Waak|Overcolt	The hotel's interior is not lacking in renovation, either - the walls are in good condition, no signs of weathering are visible. Only the counter looks damaged, but the keeper surely has tried to make it look better with a new coat of paint.
[19:26:50]	Gearhead	glances quickly at RadscorpionPie, honestly wondering if her ryhming was part of her speech or she always did that. She then looked around the inside of the hotel, seeming to loose herself up a bit as the heat came.
[19:27:08]	Comet_Blaze	took a brief glance around the town. "Anypony else worried that there's nopony out here to meet us..?" She wasn't entirely certain that was unusual. But you'd think an arrival of new, er, arrivals would be important in a little town like this, right? Something about all this was just setting off that horrible tingling in the back of her mind. Taking a brief extra moment
	to glance around before she headed inside and towards the counter.
[19:28:08]	RadscorpionPie	"Wary villagers are far from' unusual. Jus' keep yer cool and act casual."
[19:28:37]	Waak|Overcolt	Speaking of the keeper, the orange-coated earth pony with a well-kept and curled mane and what looks like a pre-war gown straight from a box stands behind the counter, smiling as Comet_Blaze approaches the counter.
[19:29:55]	Gearhead	shakes her head. "It's only logical that they would attempt to stay warm inside thier abodes."
[19:30:07]	Kichaka	idled around at the door, slightly wary. The place looked too good to be true. With a small sigh, she plodded in after the others, hovering around the edge of the counter
[19:30:59]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"This place is quite nice. Probably the newest looking hotel I have seen"
[19:31:08]	Waak|Overcolt	The mare exclaims "Welcome to Bridlefjord Hotel - The best establishment in the North! How may I help you? Are you in need of bed? Maybe some refreshments?" She was still keeping a slight smile on her face, her eyes examining the group.
[19:31:13]	RadscorpionPie	looks a little on the wary side as well.
[19:32:08]	Kichaka	mutters under her breath, barely audiable, "Probably couldnt afford it anyways..."
[19:32:17]	Gearhead	seems to give the hint of a smirk, it would be the first anypony has seen any real emotion out of her
[19:33:18]	RadscorpionPie	blinks, and then flushes, nodding to the Mare behind the counter. "It's a downright nice place ya'll got here." She states, simply.
[19:33:45]	Comet_Blaze	breathes a little sigh of relief as the pony shows up. Intact, alive, and not at all haunted, hopefully. A moment of shuffling as she pulled back the hood on her winter gear to reveal her brilliantly red and orange mane. "Mmmh. Well, that trip was pretty long and boring. So I don't think I want to just lay down and sleep right now. But a warm room to sleep in at night
	would be a big improvement over recent, er, arrangements." She gave a hopeful, cheery smile at the prospect, even.
[19:33:46]	Silky_Shackles	is a bit fatigued from the travel and not all that concerned so far.
[19:34:16]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	gives the mare a smile "Yes we came here looking for work."
[19:34:44]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"I was wonder who we could talk to about that"
[19:35:52]	Gearhead	looks to Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear. "I believe you are thinking too far ahead right now. We need proper rest before any work. That much makes sense."
[19:36:38]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"It doesn't hurt to ask Gearhead"
[19:36:45]	RadscorpionPie	"A lil' rest an' a lil' play makes work that much easier the very next day. ^^" She chirps out happily.
[19:36:55]	Silky_Shackles	nods. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to settle first."
[19:37:38]	Gearhead	gives another quick glance to RadscorpionPie, not annoyied or anything, just a quick, emotionless glance
[19:37:53]	Waak|Overcolt	The mare smiles even wider at RadScorpionPie's comment. "Thank you! I put a lot of effor into this place! It was so drafty and icky before the renovations, you couldn't even imagine... Ah, the price for rooms? Two-pony rooms for... 50 caps per pair of ears. Oh, where are my manners! My name is Carrot Stew, at your service."
[19:39:10]	RadscorpionPie	lets out a soft whistle. "Your beds are priced a lil' too steep, I think I'll have to find another local to sleep."
[19:39:45]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Indeed Miss Pie. I do believe we should go else where."
[19:39:51]	Gearhead	pipes up.
[19:39:59]	Gearhead	"I have enough for two rooms."
[19:40:07]	Kichaka	snorts. "Just our luck."
[19:40:16]	Gearhead	"If we organize it correctly. We could fir three per room."
[19:40:23]	fit*
[19:40:28]	Comet_Blaze	looks at the pony curiously a few moments before she begins to ponder that. "Caps... Caps... Right... Caps..." A moment of digging through her saddle bags yielded lots of useful things... But no bottlecaps. "Nnnngh. Uh... I don't suppose you take IOUs, do you?" She gives a hopeful sort of grin, not that she really expected the answer to be 'yes'. "It's not like there's a
[19:40:29]	whole lot of soda to drink around here!" The others agitating for a new place to rest made her perk up as well, taking an actual closer look at the lot of them a few moments.
[19:40:56]	Silky_Shackles	tilts her head. "Excuse me, but what services do you provide for such price?"
[19:41:52]	Waak|Overcolt	Carrot Stew's smile disappears for a moment, but then remembers Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear's outburst. "Ah, but I can give you all a few nights' stay for free in exchange for a little job - if you're up to it, that is." She then looks at Silky_Shackles and says "Oh, a very nice room which doesn't smell or fall apart when you sneeze. And breakfast."
[19:43:26]	Kichaka	sighs into her hood, "Probably have to fight a nest of firebreathing manticores or something to get those rooms."
[19:43:56]	RadscorpionPie	"Hmm... working for a place to sleep, that a deal that I c'n keep. Now what's the work that you so need that you... you..." She pauses. "Shucks... What's the job, Ma'am?"
[19:44:40]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"What work do you have in mind Miss Stew"
[19:44:43]	Silky_Shackles	now raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure you don't have the prices listing wrong, dear? 50 caps is awfully high for one night of sleep and a meal."
[19:45:08]	Gearhead	sits back, being ignored by her companions, not that she minded
[19:46:21]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Gearhead that was a very kind offer. But we should try to save our caps."
[19:47:37]	RadscorpionPie	nods." There's no telling when our caps may be needed>"
[19:47:42]	Comet_Blaze	sighs quietly and hangs her head a little. "Still better than sleeping outside again." Perking up just a bit at the prospect that the job might actually be interesting. "Hey, yeah. What kind of job is it? Bet it's something really dangerous if you don't want to do it all on your own. With fire-breathing dragons and runaway tornados!" That was... Probably a little more
	enthusiastic than it needed to be.
[19:47:53]	Waak|Overcolt	"Oh, nothing of sorts, little stripey!" She starts smiling again. "You see, my establishment is getting low on Sparkle-Cola - ice cold by nature, may I add - and no caravan from Trampleton has delivered any! There's where you come in - you just need to go to an old Sparkle-Cola factory and find me a crate of that stuff. How hard that could be?" She jumps on the counter and eyes the...
[19:47:55]	...group, STILL keeping up the smile-turning-creepy.
[19:48:37]	Gearhead	looks to the door. "If thats what we must do for a room, we have to do it. let's go."
[19:49:02]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Where is this factory?"
[19:49:26]	Comet_Blaze	visibly deflates at that prospect. Oh. Just a supply run. Wonderful. Even a thousand leagues from home and in a dangerous, monster-infested wasteland full of death and danger she still gets stuck on supply duty. "Well... Still better than freezing to death, I guess."
[19:49:27]	Silky_Shackles	looks into the mare's eyes, now very suspicious. "Good question. How hard would it be?"
[19:49:43]	RadscorpionPie	takes a step back, frowning slightly, her ears twitching back. "It can never be said that I am too lazy..." She murmers the last part under her breath. "... even if the job comes from a pony who's crazy..."
[19:50:35]	Kichaka	eyes the mare oddly, certain that if they stayed here, she would skin them in their sleep. Piping up to a normal volume for the first time, she asks, "Whats the catch?"
[19:51:07]	Waak|Overcolt	Carrot Stew shrugs with a small smile. "I do not know! I'm an innkeeper, not a scavenger! You should ask that from Miss Silver Bar - she resides in the Town Hall with his brother... who thinks my ideas are 'a waste of time'". First time in the entire conversation she is frowning after the last statement.
[19:52:15]	Gearhead	is waiting by the door, just wanting to go straight ot the facotry to retrivethe cola
[19:52:39]	RadscorpionPie	frowns. "Where is this factory that we'll head to?"
[19:53:22]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Thank you miss." and turns around making for the door "We should go to this town hall and ask about the job there."
[19:53:42]	RadscorpionPie	nods. "Good idea.
[19:54:38]	Comet_Blaze	sighs quietly, and now to extract information from somepony else to find the supply run. This really was like she never left home at all! Well, except that the armor didn't fit as well, the air was way colder, and she hadn't had a decent night's sleep or good meal in days. Okay, so it was a lot -worse- than being home again. "I guess we'll just have to ask the ones who
	know best." She trotted out of the room and headed towards the town hall, not bothering to pull her hood up again.
[19:56:43]	Gearhead	sighs a bit with annoyance, they do need to know where it is but why inquire minute details? It'd be easier to get the job done. there were 6 of them, it'd be unlikely for them to be over run so easily
[19:56:48]	RadscorpionPie	nods. "So, life finds us back on th' road... erm... somethin'... somethin' somethin' toad." She mutters the last part under her breath, her tail twitching.
[19:57:46]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	stops and gives Raddy Pie a funny look "You're loosing your touch Raddy."
[19:58:54]	Silky_Shackles	smiles to Carrot Stew, before trotting out of the inn. "Before we go, there is something I want to check." She says to the others, trotting to the depot.
[20:00:12]	Gearhead	gives another hint of a smirk as she hears RadscorpionPie peatter out on the ryhme
[20:00:14]	RadscorpionPie	"Well, Ah'm sorreh, we jus' had a really long trek, and my brains are still catchin' up with us!"
[20:00:53]	Kichaka	glances between Silky and the others, then follows her. If she was right, and that was a store, maybe she could find something pretty to wear. Pretty low on caps though...
[20:00:55]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	chuckles "Its alright Raddy we're all a little tired."
[20:01:06]	Waak|Overcolt	As the assorted group of ponies (and one buffalo) step outside, a dark grey earth pony mare with purple, yet unkept mane and tail striked with white walks across the square towards the depot. She's wearing an old duster and carrying a rifle on her back. She looks at the group and hails "Hello there, just came by? Residents call me Silver Bar. If you need fixin', I can do it."
[20:03:22]	RadscorpionPie	blinks in surprise, and then smiles. "Hiya Silver Bar."
[20:03:52]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	looks to the mare "We will keep that in mind. We have to go to the town hall for work first."
[20:04:12]	Silky_Shackles	She smiles to the mare. "Hello Silver Bar. We were looking for a place to sleep, actually."
[20:04:24]	=-=	Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
[20:04:38]	Comet_Blaze	to whatever degree she notices RadscorpionPie's failed rhyming seems more confused than disappointed or upset. The arrival of the new pony was a nice moment of relief. "So, you're the one who knows where the Sparkle~Cola Bottling Plant is?" She gives a hopeful smile at that prospect. "It might sound like a strange question, but a pony's gotta do what a pony's gotta do to
	find a warm bed to sleep in."
[20:05:17]	Silky_Shackles	glances at Comet_Blaze and sighs.
[20:05:57]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	facehoofs "My apologies Silver you are the mare we are looking for."
[20:06:10]	RadscorpionPie	nods. "Doing for others a friendly deed can help them help us when we're in need. ^^"
[20:07:24]	Gearhead	keeps quiet and stares on
[20:08:44]	Waak|Overcolt	Silver Bar gives a questioning look at Bro-Hoof. "What kind of work?" Then Comet_Blaze mentions the bottling plant. "Ah, Innkeeper Stew finally managed to fool someone for the job. Nearest one is in Plow, few hours of trotting South-East. The place is no happy, though." She turns to Silky. "Sorry, but my brother, Iron Bar, is the mayor here and he's not letting newcomers to bunk in Town...
[20:08:46]	...Hall. Not at all."
[20:10:18]	RadscorpionPie	frowns. "What dangers lay ahead of us on the trail? For a crate of soda we don't want to fail. :/"
[20:10:57]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	nods "We were told you could tell us about the Sparkle-Cola factory? Like what way it is and what to expect once we get there."
[20:12:06]	Silky_Shackles	sighs. "We will have to manage. Hm... would you know how much the inn usually charges?"
[20:12:13]	Comet_Blaze	tilted her head to one side and looked around a few moments. "How the blazes do you tell which way is south?" Giving a look up towards the clouds and the diffuse light coming down through them with a sigh. "Gotta remember to find myself a compass someday soon, I guess."
[20:13:00]	RadscorpionPie	pauses, and then looks up and the sky, and then about, to get her barings.
[20:13:08]	Kichaka	stands awkwardly at the edge of the impromptu gathering, glancing between them and the store.
[20:15:21]	RadscorpionPie	frowns, getting her barings, and then points south. "That way south should be. Don't worry, the wilderness is a friend to me. ^^"
[20:16:39]	Gearhead	glances down at her pipbuck. She points south as well. "Technology is my friend however."
[20:17:30]	Waak|Overcolt	Silver Bar taps his right hoof against his chin, thinking. "I did scavenged there a week ago, some nasty spiders in the plant. Also raiders are sighted in the area near our town..." She then points to Gearhead's PipBuck. "And that should tell just fine where is South - as she stated. If you need to stock, stop by at Golden Bullet's shop - it's the depot. Remember, she's afraid of unicorns."
[20:18:39]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Afraid of unicorns? Care to explain?"
[20:19:21]	RadscorpionPie	blinks in surprise at that statement.
[20:19:43]	Comet_Blaze	frowns a little and looks up at the clouds, tilting her head to one side then the other. A quiet sigh. Couldn't even see the sun from here. It amazed her how these ponies even managed to keep going. The mention of spiders made her perk up a bit. "Spiders? Really? Those.... Things with the eight legs and webbing, right? I've never seen one up close." Giving a little bit of
	an excited grin at the prospect. "And raiders too? Alright, this might actually turn out to be a worthwhile side-trip after all. Better than that time I got lost in a fog bank and-" she paused, shaking her head. "Nevermind."
[20:20:23]	Gearhead	seems calm, but if anypony really noticed, they would have seen her eyes widen at the mention of spiders
[20:22:50]	RadscorpionPie	mmms. "Engorged spiders can make fer good eatin'. With certain herbs and spices and proper heatin'..."
[20:23:51]	Waak|Overcolt	Silver Bar sighs. "Her parents used to run the depot shop - until a slaver group came in. Unicorn-based one, that was. Now he's running it alone and has been a nerve wreck - heck, he's scared of our doctor, too."
[20:24:45]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	nods "I understand." turning to the group "Do we need anything before we go?"
[20:25:29]	Kichaka	shakes her head
[20:25:53]	Gearhead	shakes her head as well
[20:26:32]	Comet_Blaze	blanches a little at the idea of eating spiders. "Eeeeew. Why would you do that?" The mention of slavers made her grow more somber and serious. "Slavers..? Ponies actually do that kind of thing to one another..?" No wonder there were so many stories about the surface. There were good ponies here. But it was sounding more and more like there were reasons to be worried about
[20:26:33]	it too. Not good at all.
[20:26:36]	RadscorpionPie	shrugs. "A shoppin' spree would be downright awesome, but my caps'r few and lonesome."
[20:26:52]	Silky_Shackles	sighs, looking down.
[20:27:27]	Gearhead	looks to Comet_Blaze
[20:27:36]	RadscorpionPie	sighs. "Slavers do exist, and are the skum of our kinds, with dark cold hearts and heads up their behinds." She scowls slightly at that.
[20:28:04]	Gearhead	"It's actually very logical. It only makes sense that ponies would enslave each other for profit and free labor." She says cold as ice.
[20:28:43]	"I however am not going to enslave anypony, i lack the supplies and it would be illogical for me to even attempt that.
[20:29:22]	Kichaka	snorts.
	RadscorpionPie	"Logic without heart is a terrible thing. No pony should enslave another intelligent being."
[20:29:32]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Don't worry they wont bother a group as big as ours." stops and thinks for a moment "Unless they have a big group or are heavily armed"
[20:30:07]	Comet_Blaze	looks at Gearhead in annoyance. "It doesn't 'make sense'. Ponies are... Well, ponies! They're not property or machines or something." She snorted, the small cloud of steam from her nostrils holding in place a brief moment before being carried away by the wind. She didn't look very happy at the idea at all, pulling her hood up again. "Whatever, we've got soda to find, and
	spiders to hunt."
[20:30:47]	RadscorpionPie	nods. "And raiders to counterraid, if they are so inclined to force our hooves."
[20:30:51]	Gearhead	"But they are labor." Gearhead says. "Morals cloud the mind. Makes ponies inefficient."
[20:33:08]	Waak|Overcolt	Silver Bar gazes at the group for a moment, and seeing as she's apparently no longer in the discussion, decides to continue her trip to visit Bullet's. She however says over her shoulder "You better get moving if you don't want to trek in the dark - days are short here."
[20:33:09]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"It dose not matter if its 'inefficient' or not. It still is not right to take away some ones freedom."
[20:33:15]	RadscorpionPie	"Morals keep ponies from being monsters"
[20:33:35]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"Yes what Raddy said."
[20:33:39]	Gearhead	"Monsters are ponies how have lost logic and morals."
[20:33:40]	Silky_Shackles	looks from a pony to another and shakes her head. She turns to RadscorpionPie. "But what do you do if they already are monsters?"
[20:34:04]	RadscorpionPie	nods. "And Silver Bar's suggestion is most wise. So talking on the road is what I advice."
[20:34:59]	frowns. "If a Pony is a monster that can't be redeamed, then..." She pauses. "You do what you must. Sometimes worse than you dreamed."
[20:35:22]	Kichaka	grumbles, "Just how I wanted to die, as spiderfood. I bet its a horrible, painful way to die, too."
[20:35:51]	Gearhead	seems to visably shiver at the mention of spiers again
[20:36:08]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	begins to move towards the gate "We should just get going."
[20:37:44]	Waak|Overcolt	MAP UPDATE: Plow added.
[20:37:47]	Comet_Blaze	grumbles again at the mention of enslaved ponies. "Doesn't make it right." She turns to begin heading in the direction of the bottling facility, her goggles jangling around her neck. She wasn't going to participate in any kind of argument about morality it seems.
[20:38:05]	Kichaka	draws her cloak closer around her and trots after their fluffy friend.
[20:38:30]	Gearhead	trots after them
[20:38:43]	Silky_Shackles	keeps her eyes on RadscorpionPie. "You murder them, is that it? You take away their lives, with a pull of a trigger, an enraged strike. Let their blood run and end them, because you are better than them. Isn't that how it goes?"
[20:40:11]	RadscorpionPie	"If I do not kill them, they kill me. If death must happen, should the one wanting to feed and help others live, or should the one who wants to rape and steal? It is not a good solution, but the worst monsters leave little choice."
[20:41:37]	Kichaka	stops, realizing several of the group were still standing there talking. She trots up to them and patiently sits down next to them, waiting for them to notice the tiny zebra bundle.
[20:42:08]	RadscorpionPie	blinks, looking at Kichaka.
[20:42:13]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	stops and calls behind him "Are you two coming?"
[20:42:40]	RadscorpionPie	stretches her legs, and then starts walking. "To walk and talk is fairly easy."
[20:43:03]	Waak|Overcolt	The group, despite their disagreements on ethics of slavery, decide to move on towards their goal - ruins what locals call Plow. On their way across the snowy landscape they get across with a trail of hoof prints - clearly more than one.
[20:43:20]	Silky_Shackles	nods to Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear, following. "Death doesn't have to happen. Not always."
[20:43:53]	Kichaka	silently thanks Brohoof and trots after the others, keeping to the back of the group
[20:44:03]	RadscorpionPie	"Death doesn't have to happen, of that we agree. But unfortunately that's not something every pony would see."
[20:45:10]	Comet_Blaze	didn't seem to be listening to the morality debate at the moment, pausing as she spots the hoofprints. She took a moment to look back and forth and follow their trail along the crushed snow with her eyes. "Guess we must have found the path our raiders followed." She contemplated a few moments, before moving to follow them, slowly for the moment.
[20:46:27]	Gearhead	looks at Comet_Blaze and sighs. "Stop." She says.
[20:46:42]	Gearhead	"You shouldnt split from the group, it'll endanger us all."
[20:47:19]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	stops and turns "It may be raider."
[20:48:10]	RadscorpionPie	frowns. "We do not need more trouble from the getgo, we need our strength to deal with the spiders."
	Comet_Blaze	snorts a moment. "Then come on. If it's the raiders, then we gotta go take 'em out, right? They're a danger to the whole town. If it's not the raiders, then they might be the missing caravan and need our help, so we can't just ignore them." She didn't seem interested in taking 'no' for an answer.
[20:48:33]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"It may also be a lost caravan"
[20:48:50]	RadscorpionPie	pauses, and then exhales, as she trots after Comet. "Picking fights, it is very dangerous..."
[20:49:20]	Kichaka	frowns, weighing her options. "Die by raiders, or die by spiders. So many choices, so little time."
[20:49:50]	RadscorpionPie	pauses, opens her mouth, and then frowns. "... Well, the raiders would rape you before you die. Beyond that, there isn't much difference."
[20:49:51]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"What makes you think we are going to die?"
[20:50:41]	Kichaka	snorts. "It's the wasteland, of course we'll die."
[20:50:42]	Silky_Shackles	looks at Comet_Blaze. "Somepony will, at this rate." She follows.
[20:50:45]	Gearhead	"We are well equiped and protected. The chances of us being killed or raped are unlikely."
[20:51:02]	Gearhead	follows at the end of the group, begrudingly
[20:51:54]	RadscorpionPie	sticks out her tongue. "Ain't ya'll just a buncha gloomy gusses. Look on the bright side of life!"
[20:52:27]	Comet_Blaze	continues to trot along following the hoofprints, at a faster pace now. She wasn't going to go rushing head-long into them. Yet. But she wasn't going to make it a leasurely and peaceful strole in the park either.
[20:53:42]	Kichaka	grumbles and trots after Comet, her little legs making it difficult to keep up.
[20:54:10]	Gearhead	trots behind the group, looking back to see if they were getting trailed
[20:54:26]	Bro-Hoofs-a-Bear	"We need to watch for raiders and the like"
[20:54:48]	Gearhead	"I'm already scanning our flank."
[20:55:20]	RadscorpionPie	frowns. "Need a hoof finding this trail?"
[20:57:25]	Comet_Blaze	waves a hoof to RadscorpionPie. "I know how to track a pony through soft, spongy stuff which leaves hoofprints behind. That's easy." Tracking somepony who could fly through cloud banks. THAT was hard. She continued moving along slowly and steadily, listening for any sound of the ones they were following or signs of them in the surroundings.
[20:58:19]	Waak|Overcolt	Comet_Blaze follows the tracks as best as she can and manages after minutes of tracking to find the source of the prints - a group of three raiders have pinned down what appears to be a lonely scavenger behind a set of snowy rocks. The raiders are too fixated upon the scavenger to notice Comet_Blaze scanning the event.
