Silly Druid 6,909 December 27, 2022 Author Share December 27, 2022 @Kujamih Madame Violet welcomes you warmly to her tent. "Oh I see, a handsome young stallion wants to know his future! That will be five bits." @Toshigami Equine "The only thing I can add is that she seemed very nervous, as if she was doing something she wasn't supposed to." The beggar explains. "That's all I know." @abrony-mouse Intellect (d3), result: 2 / Pony Sense (d4), result: 2. Best result: 2. Failure. You fly up and scan the streets of Canterlot for a pony matching the beggar's description, without any success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Pink One 13,506 December 27, 2022 Share December 27, 2022 @Silly Druid Kuya tries to charm the mare. " Would a date suffice?" He asked wittingly. But if the mare won't budge, he'd gladly give five bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Eve December 27, 2022 Share December 27, 2022 Mango flaps down to rejoin Samurai and Skylight. "No pony of that description could be seen from the air." Mango turns to the beggar. "Did you see which way they went, old-timer?" she asks, like a fruit who means business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clue December 31, 2022 Share December 31, 2022 Dr. Clue jots down everything the beggar said so far, not quite sure what to make of them. However, she couldn't seem to figure out what it meant. Was this their logo? If so, what was the purpose of putting it on the side of a barn? They searched everything nearby and couldn't find anything. "I'm stumped as well. I say we go check on the preparations for the fair and see if we find anything there," Dr. Clue suggested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Equine December 31, 2022 Share December 31, 2022 @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate, @abrony-mouse, @Kujamih Samurai pays the beggar some more bits. "Stay humble and honest." He follows Dr. Clue for now. "Sounds like as a good an idea as any. We have a description of the suspect, a simple symbol that they would recognize if they saw it, and a behavior pattern. Nervous... What could it mean? A guilty conscious? Fear of being caught? Or if time was a factor, maybe she was trying to act as fast as possible..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Druid 6,909 January 1, 2023 Author Share January 1, 2023 @Kujamih Madame Violet looks into her crystal ball for a long moment, then she turns to you with a smile on her face. "Are you sure about that? What would your marefriend think about it?" (You can still try to charm her, but it will be harder because she apparently knows about your relationship with Duster Lawn.) @abrony-mouse @Reindeer Skylight @Samurai Equine "I believe she went that way," the beggar points in a direction that goes away from the city center, towards the cliffs below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Eve January 1, 2023 Share January 1, 2023 Mango nods her thanks. "To the cliffs!" She cries, flapping off in that direction, but staying in sight and calling distance of the others in case they have further questions or want to consult each other on the next hoof-step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I can give more bits madam and a status in the castle if you want." " All i need is to know the safety of the princess or what will happen here in Canterlot. Apparently something big is going to happen." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clue January 3, 2023 Share January 3, 2023 Dr. Clue pays the begar another bit before following the others towards the cliffs. Once she got to the edge, she would hover just a bit off the ground while observing around. (roll observe) "Do you see anything?" She asked Mango. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Equine January 3, 2023 Share January 3, 2023 @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate, @abrony-mouse, @Kujamih Samurai has nothing more to add for now. He just follows Mango and Dr. Clue to the cliffs. If his fire magic can be of use in any way, he'll use it. For now, he is just curious if this will give them any new leads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Druid 6,909 January 5, 2023 Author Share January 5, 2023 @Kujamih Madame Violet looks shocked. "Fate of Equestria? A moment ago you were flirting with me, and now this?" She looks into her crystal ball again, but only for a short moment this time. "You're telling the truth. I will help as much as I can, but I can only see the future of the pony in front of me. Do you want me to perform the divination for you?" @abrony-mouse @Reindeer Skylight @Samurai Equine "I wish you the best of luck in your investigation, good ponies!" The beggar says to the group as they leave towards the cliffs. You arrive at the city limits, beyond them there is a single mountain trail leading to the valley below. Dr. Clue: Intellect (d5), result: 3 / Investigation (d6), result: 3. Best result: 3. Partial success. From the distance you can see a pony walking on the trail in your direction. It's too far to identify any details about that pony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Pink One 13,506 January 5, 2023 Share January 5, 2023 @Silly Druid. " Wait let me get hyped and focused on going everywhere so my future is set on doing as much and tackling as much possibility." Kuya then focuses himself for a minute and is readying himself for something. " Okay im game!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Eve January 5, 2023 Share January 5, 2023 Mango tries to focus on her mission but as she feels the salt-heavy air on her wings she feels calm. She doesn't see portentous ponies, unlike Dr Clue. She only sees the clouds, like sunflowers, calling to her :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clue January 8, 2023 Share January 8, 2023 "Hey there's a pony down there," Dr. Clue points out to the rest of the group. "However, I can't identify them from this distance. Should we try to get a closer look? I think I can fly down there." If the rest of the group agreed, Dr. Clue would try to fly down to get a closer look at the pony without being noticed by the pony she was trying to observe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Equine January 9, 2023 Share January 9, 2023 @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate, @abrony-mouse, @Kujamih Samurai hears Dr. Clue's plan and nods. "I'll meet you down there, hopefully. If not, I'll create a good distraction." Samurai backs up a good ways to get a good running start and gets his fire magic ready. With enough focus, the flames will come out of his hooves to temporarily jet propel him. There are some flaws, though. Once in flight, he is locked into one direction. He cannot control his speed. And if he's not careful, he could easily crash land. Still, he wants to give it a try. "Flaming Booster." So he runs forward, leaps in the right direction, and magically turns his hooves into fiery rockets for a quick but powerful blast. (Roll for fire power and anything else that applies) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Druid 6,909 January 9, 2023 Author Share January 9, 2023 @Kujamih Madame Violet looks at you through her crystal ball, focused on reading your future from it. But then something strange happens. She looks surprised and slightly frightened. Her eyes start glowing, and she says with a strange, unnatural voice: "Beware of the black unicorn!" Then she falls on the floor, unconscious. @abrony-mouse @Skylight Scintillate @Samurai Equine Dr. Clue: Agility (d5), result: 5 / Flight (d5), result: 1. Best result: 5. Critical success! Skillfully hiding behind rocks, you manage to get very close to the pony and not get noticed. He appears to be a simple farmer, carrying large saddlebags. Samurai Equine: Agility (d5), result: 2 / Fire Magic (d5), result: 5. Best result: 5. Critical success! Whatever the purpose of your maneuver was, it succeeded tremendously.

Evil Pink One 13,506 January 9, 2023 Share January 9, 2023 @Silly Druid ".... Ey... Madam.... Thats discrimination against color.. hey... Theres a lot of black ponies.... Crap i guess i have to beat up all the black ponies. For the safety of Equestria i suppose..." If madam would not wake up, hed put a blanket over her and put a close sign on the entrance before leaving... "Welp lets hunt sa dark colored ponies..." Kuya would then start his search. Although he knows that madame might be referring to nightmare moon.... But thats all what he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Equine January 10, 2023 Share January 10, 2023 @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate, @abrony-mouse, @Kujamih The farmer pony was about to get a big surprise! Samurai suddenly descends at rocket speed in front of him; nailing the landing perfectly. He lands like a super hero, cutting off the farmer from wherever he was going. On top of that, Samurai stands upright on his forelegs only, turning to face the farmer. The sight of this fully armored pony must be an intimidating sight indeed. "Excuse me, sir. I'd like to have a word with you." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clue January 11, 2023 Share January 11, 2023 Dr. Clue gasped when Samurai suddenly landed right in front of the farmer. So much for observing the farmer pony without being noticed. Ultimately, she decided to stay behind the rocks and listen in on following conversation. If she could do so without being noticed easily, she would stick her head briefly over the rocks to try and see the farmer's reaction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Druid 6,909 January 11, 2023 Author Share January 11, 2023 @Kujamih Madame Violet wakes up after several minutes. "I'm... OK... just let me... rest," she says with a weak voice. You leave her in her tent and go to the streets of Canterlot to search for dark-colored ponies. Intellect (d3), result: 1 / Pony Sense (d5), result: 4. Best result: 4. Success! Not far from the main square, you see a unicorn mare with a black coat and magenta mane. She looks like a typical citizen of Canterlot, walking through the street and levitating a large bag next to her. @Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate @abrony-mouse The earth pony farmer looks seriously scared by the sudden appearance of Samurai before him. "Have mercy..." is all he manages to say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Pink One 13,506 January 12, 2023 Share January 12, 2023 @Silly Druid Kuya follows the mare, making sure he wasnt suspicious when following her. If he happens to come across any guards he'd show proof of celestia's knight and request the guards to interrogate the mare a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Equine January 12, 2023 Share January 12, 2023 @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate, @abrony-mouse, @Kujamih Samurai blinks as he makes a realization. This was not the reaction Samurai expected. He lowers back down until he is standing on all fours again. "Sir, I fear you misunderstand. I am of no harm to you. I only wish to ask some questions. Your cooperation would be most appreciated." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Eve January 12, 2023 Share January 12, 2023 @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate, @Samurai Equine @Kujamih Mango, who had been following closely behind, lands behind Samurai. "Sweet moves, Samurai," she compliments, before eagerly giving the description of the pony the beggar had described, hoping for more clues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clue January 15, 2023 Share January 15, 2023 Dr. Clue realizes there isn't much point in trying to get answers from the farmer from behind some rocks, so she steps out and stands next to the other two. "Any help you can offer would be appreciated," she adds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Druid 6,909 January 17, 2023 Author Share January 17, 2023 @Kujamih You follow the mare. She enters a grocery store and buys an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Outside of the store, you see a patrol consisting of two guards. When you suggest interrogating her, one of them asks what they should question her about. @Samurai Equine @abrony-mouse @Skylight Scintillate The farmer calms down a bit, but he is still a little shaky, especially when he sees that not one, but three ponies expect answers from him. "Of course, I will tell you all I know! And yes, I've seen that pony on this trail a few times. I don't know her name, but I believe she lives in the village of Wood's End, it's not far from here." He gives you directions to the village, in case you want to go there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
