Im a bit confused you said he was descended from Pinkie pie. So wouldnt he be born after her? Please dont take this as criticism I just wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly. Also that wouldnt much work for our campaign. Would you be willing / able to make a younger pony?

This is another one stuck in my brain. Plus it brings back my short-lived emo phase.

LOL I was just about to tag you to let you know.

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich gestures to the coffee pot as he watches Gail scavenge the bot. " Help yourself to some coffee. We don't have a lot but I figure our first day out is grounds enough for celebration. If we save the used grounds we can start a patch of fertile soil. Could grow plants there. Even if this is a fast trip those that get used to the wastes are often used by the stable for trips outside more often. So having a place we can keep supplies or fresh food is smart. " He dips is fancy buck cake into coffee and lets it soften the ancient food. He munched his breakfast slowly trying to plan out the best route to the first scavenge spot that Abby mentioned in his head. He takes stock of his health using his pipbucks auto health check features. He seemed over all ok. A little higher dose of rads than normal but that is the wastes for you. He should be good to go for combat if he needs to. He just cant use consistently large spells like yesterday.

Welcome to the herd. I've meet a lot of great people on these forums you'll find your niche and your friend in no time.

@AuroraGlimmer " Sure but on the condition that you tell me what the heck that thing is when I get back. " Eldrich heads out and walks over to the smoking remains of the bot. With a clop of his hoof, the small amount of balefire on the round that was still burning goes out. He breaths icy air on it to cool the metal and then begins to drag the bot back inside. By the time he gets it back inside he is covered in sweat and panting. His sides heave as he pants and sips on the now perfectly cooled coffee in his cup. He face hooves and looks over at Abby. " How rude of me I didnt even ask if you and Gail have cups to pour the coffee in. I mean help yourselves if you do but if not we can share my cup. Also, that thing is heavier than it seems. But I'm also not very strong. My falling Caesar teacher always said I hit harder than I can lift... " Eldrich whinnies a small laugh into his cup as he sips deeply of the black mixture. The sweet taste of the Overmares pilfered coffee makes him smile. He had never taken so much as an oat cake unlawfully before. But he considered this a down payment on the cure he was asked to get.

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich nods and then starts to chuckle as the smell of coffee begins to fill the room. " I swiped this coffee from the Overmares' personal stash. I took it out of her office as we were being given this mission. I've no idea why I did it while we were being lectured but I took it. " He gets up and stares out of the windows of their new shelter. He watches radbits running around before flinching as one is captured and eaten by a bloatspirte. The wasteland streches before him with nothing but hope as a guide. It could not possibly get worse out there. So there must be only hope going forward. Suddenly a jarring tinny noise punched through the early morning air. An odd floating orb bobbed into view with the sound of what might be called music following it. One of the passing bloat sprites throws barbs in its direction only for a bright pink blast of magical energy to turn it to a pile of ash.

Oh Im so sorry lol. The war that created the fallout was due to the Zebra and Pony nations going to war over the last bits of coal in the Fallout Equestria universe. That is why ponies from that time might hate zebras

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich wakes with a slight smile getting off the sleeping area as gently as he can to avoid waking gale if he can. He digs through his saddle bags and pulls out a small pot and a precious stash of coffee grounds. He holds up the bag with a huge smile. " I managed to stash some coffee away for breakfast.... we gotta ration it but I think its only proper kick off our adventures with a treat. " He manages to light a fire under his pot and starts to brew the coffee to have with the fancy buck cakes for breakfast.

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich heads back to the sleeping bags getting back under the blankets. He draws a breath as if to say something but falls asleep murmering nonsense. The wasteland night is eerily silent with only the occasional buzz of a bloat sprite passing by. Soon the early hints of the sun starts to filter through the ever present clouds of the wastes. If Celestia was still out there she had decided to grace the group with her light today.

@KujamihIf you want to be a caveman we could find you in the upcoming locations freezer frozen solid and you could be from before the bombs. That would likely mean you are not a fan of zebras and thus would have something to overcome. Thoughts?

@Kujamih Give me an hour or so and Ill hve an idea posted for you to be able to join.

@AuroraGlimmer As he is awakened Eldrich seems to levitate and flips across the room eyes lit by arcane magic, a spell of force building on his lips before he gains awareness of his surroundings. The room lights brightly for an instant before recognition flow across his features and the spell fades. He sits there panting and staring blankly at Gail. Finally he gathers himself enough to speak. " Did I talk in my sleep and scare you? Sometimes I do that. Sorry if I was a bother. " He heads back over breathing heavily and stands by the sleeping pads looking at her questioningly. It was clear from body language he was looking at her for the ok to lay back down after disturbing her sleep like that.

@AuroraGlimmer At first Eldrich hardly even stirred as he slept. But as the night wore on he would let out soft nickers and he legs twitched rhythmically as if he was running from something. His body would start to heat as if he was starting to summon magic but then it would cool as he seemed to calm. It was if this dream was an emotional roller coaster for him. Eventually even this was too much and he became still as the grave. The silence of the wastes would seem louder then even the firefight that started their adventures.

@KujamihWhat is your idea for a character? I have no problem with it if @AuroraGlimmer is cool with it and your character is workable.

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich nodded and wished he had more magical skill so he could set up an alarm spell or something. Most he could do is ask to see her magazine for the gun she was holding. He concentrated as hard as he could and breathed slowly on the bullets. The tips glowed green. " They are enchanted with balefire for the next few hours. So if you have to start shooting the first few shots will really count. I'm happy to take next watch if Gail wants last watch. Or we can switch. In don't mind either way. Just gimme a kick to wake me when you want me to take over. " He staggered towards the sleeping bags at the back of their new base of operations. He was going to sleep hard. He rarely used so much magic back to back. That and forgetting to eat most of the day had not helped. He would need to be more careful tomorrow. He flopped down on the nearest bedroll and was so heavy with sleep he couldn't even bother to get inside it. He just layed on top of it and started to drift in and out.

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich looked at Gail sadly and shook his head. " I wish it were that easy. My medicine is special. Its a mix of super restoration potion, hydra, and ............. purified killing joke " He almost whispered the last part. He knew how dangerous he medicine ingredients were to get. He felt like more of a burden and freak then ever... " Nn nn not that I don't apricate your offer and what you can make will keep me from getting sick if I get wounded or we come across some viruses etc. Its just that to really keep my condition in check Doc Tender Hooves really had to pull some wizardy. Oh did you see the magazine?! I think it contains some fancy computer stuff. I dont know much about it but I thought you could use it. " He signed and blew his mane out of his face. He hated how difficult traveling with him was going to be. But at least he made a good weapon.

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich nods and calls for Gail so she could be looped into the plan and give any input she might have. He places the pc hacking magazine on the table that would be free for the sisters supplies. " So I think we should look for a source of medicines. I have only two doses of my medicine with me and I need it once a week. Plus any place that sells or makes medicine might have a clue to bigger sources that might help us get the cure we need. Looking at my pipbuck I see that about two days from here is a place called " Angel Bunnies Clinc for the needy. What do you two think? Good place as any to start? "

@AuroraGlimmer " I appreciate the sentiment I just figure if it comes to it ..... well just keep your sister safe.... family is important. " The way Eldrich said that implied he know something about the loss of family. But he then started pushing all the drug making components to one side of the three tables they were on. What was junk he shoved into a random wooden crate he found. What looked good he left on the table. " We should take inventory of what we have. Give ourselves and idea of how long before we need serious resupply... The sleeping bags can go in that back room I mentioned. Its far more secure then anywhere else we have seen and since is smaller it will trap our heat better so we wont get cold even if it gets chilly. Heck if we could find a way to heat it we could even survive a winter. " He sets he saddle bags on one of the cleared off tables and starts to empty them. He leaves only the Stampede hidden inside one of them. " " After we take stock we can sort of plan out what direction we might want to head. Between the data on my PipBuck and the info your sister was able to pull from the computer terminals here we should be in ok shape. "

@AuroraGlimmer Eldrich did a fast recon of the building. Nopony was left inside as Abby had said. This had clearly been a firearms plant. But it looked like it mostly made bullets. The aisles of stuff had been where bits of lead, casing and various gun powder materials were stored. But there was not much left. The areas that the bullet presses had occupied had been turned into a drug manufacturing lab. Eldrich spotted some large windows they could crank open to air it out and gestured for Abby to do the same. As the chemical laden air cleared he was able to take off his mask and look at the tables. He found some RadAway 5 doses, 3 doses of RadSafe, a dose of Stampede, and two tins of Mint-als. He looked at Abby considering how open he could be. Deciding on exploring first he searched the kitchen to find 4 Fancy Buck Cakes banana flavored, 3 Sparkle Colas, and finally in a back room that would make and excellent bedroom as it had a ladder to the roof for fast exit he found a manual " Know your Bits: " A Guide to advanced PC interfacing " He divided up the food and drink as per their agreement sticking the extra in a cabinet in the kitchen. He did the same with the RadAway that was left over, He gave the girls the Mint-al tins if they wanted them, and then stared hard at the Stampede. taking a breath he stopped Abby before they could get her sister to share what they had found. " Look your sister seems more delicate then you...... so im gonna take a risk here and trust you with a last ditch plan. If we ever get into serious trouble. Like might not survive it, no other way out im gonna yell out Celestia Loves Radishes. then I'm going to pop this.... " He holds up the Stampede. " My magic can be very emotionally driven. With the Rage and pain killers in here I should be able to blast us out of anything short of a Mega-Spell dropping in my face. If you think you can get my flanks out alive after that great grab me and run. But if it comes to it get your sister out and find somewhere safe.... " He hated planning to fail. But its better then failure to plan. " Oh what did you manage to find? Not much here not even bedding. It looks like they were sleeping on the carboard thats scattered around the floor.... "

@AuroraGlimmer " Eldrich let out a breath he did not even know he was holding his heightened emotions caused his magic to flair .... the rush of air was icy freezing the ground in front of him. Luna blast it! Im sorry If I dont control my emotions... " he gestures with his forehoves towards the ice patch. " Lets get moving we want to clear this place and maybe find something more to eat before sun sets. Then we can make a plan for finding the info we need. " He headed to the door and started out into the hall. his gas mask helped with the chemicals but before he got long he froze. " Do you know how far before we are into uncharted areas that we dont know are clear Abby? "

I spoke with the Admins on this. Its down TBD but they are working on it being fixed. Its just a matter of time and pony power. Once it's getting ready to come back up our socials will be announcing it for sure.
