Once he returned from the office he would lead the way to their room, adjacent to the one the gryphon appeared to be guarding. He looked annoyed, but did not address them unless spoken to

He would want to get a reaction on the griffon to get him some clues.

" hello neighbor." He gave a small gesture.

f Kuya followed Otho into the room, he'd be able to hear some faint speaking through the wall.

Listening closely, he wouldn't be able to make out everything they were saying, but he'd be able to pick out the words Courier, Chip, House, and Pegas.

Hed try to use a cup to listen in more clearly through the walls. If a cup he'd just place it through the wall and if  none he'd just simply press his head at the wall and would advice Otho to do the same.

" well whatya think it is about? Ya think its worth it?" He asked.

Nebel thanked the receptionist before the two unicorns retired to their room. Nebel heard some voices in the next room over, but he was only able to make out a few of their words.

“These guys are bad news.” Nebel said to his sister quietly. “We’d do best to keep our distance.”

Nightfall nodded her head quietly in reply.

“They might know something about the pony we’re after, though. I say we attempt to follow them, but again, from a distance. If they go off in another direction, then we know they’re not looking for Red.”

“What if they already got her?” Nightfall asked. “If they finished the job, then what reason do they have to go back? I think we should just follow them regardless of what direction they go.”     

“…I guess that’s fair.” Her brother replied after a moment. “Perhaps we should have a look around town in the morning. We still have some bits from earlier, we might come across a vendor selling something that could help us.”

“That’s… actually a good idea. Yea, let’s go with that.” Nightfall said with a bit of surprise in her voice.

“Wow, actually? Come on, I’m not that oblivious…”

“Sometimes I wonder.” She said with a grin.

The griffon sorted but ignored him.

Otho looked intrigued, "I mean there's a lot of context missing, but a courier in association with House is unusual. What could he have needed that his golems couldn't get for him?"

The next morning.

 

@GeneralDirection @Evil Pink One

Both groups are awoken by the sound of their shared neighbors preparing to leave. The first light was only just appearing, it seemed like they wanted to make an early exit.

 

@Props Valroa

Carnelian was awoken by the sound of gunfire outside the tent. If she went out to investigate, she'd find a pair of the soldiers defending the camp against a small group of spawn, it looked like 4 were left. One of them, a pegasus, was flapping its wings but was unable to take to the air, shaking a purple dust out of its feathers as it tried.

" well that was early.. must be in a rush...whatever it is i want it." Kuya would hurry and prepare to stalk them.

@Illiad Easle

Nightfall awoke to loud rustling sounds coming from the room they had heard the talking from yesterday. Her eyes went wide as she remembered their plans for the day.

“Nebel! Wake up!” She whispered, poking him a few times. “They’re getting ready to leave.”

“Ugh… it’s too early to be awake.” He muttered, blinking as he slowly arose from his bed.

“I really wish we could’ve gotten you some amour… that vault suit makes you stick out like a sore hoof.” Nightfall commented as she put her own armour on. “But oh well, is what it is. We’ll just have to keep our distance. I did bring binoculars, so that’ll help us.”

Nebel nodded silently in response, gathering his things before they left their room. Once in the lobby, the two took off as if to explore the town, keeping the motel in view so they could keep an eye on where the group was headed.

(I'm going to assume this does not include leaving the room)

Their neighbors would waste little time leaving their room, immediately heading south towards New Pegas.

The other group, which consisted of a unicorn stallion and a pair of gryphons, were headed immediately out of town in the direction that the two of them had come from. That was to say: directly towards New Pegas.

While they weren't traveling especially fast, they would quickly get away if the two of them didn't get a move on soon.

 

@Props Valroa

By the time she was suited up the remaining spawn had been dealt with.

If Carnelian decided to look at them she would find that, at least physically, they were normal ponies, just with the colors washed out and faded, and their marks blurred beyond recognition. They seemed to have the glowing purple dust deep in their coats, though it would spread just with the wind. It seemed like these spawn could prove to be quite the vector for the powder to be spread if not contained by the troops.

If she did not investigate, or after leaving them, the soldiers would burn the bodies from a distance so as to not come into contact with the powder.

The city stood before her, and it seemed quieter than it had the previous day. maybe if she were stealthy enough she could gather the items without being spotted by the spawn within?

" hey oto? Are we gonna get side tracked if we follow them? I mean is it near our original destination?... You think their worth it?" If otho wouldn't say much, he'd probably take the risk and follow them. It seems they have something worth getting.

@Illiad Easle

Nebel looked over a table of wares while Nightfall looked around the town with a disinterested expression. After a few moments, she spotted the group making their way out of Nova.

“Hey!” She whispered to her brother. “They’re making their move, time to go or we’ll lose them.”

He gave a quick nod before leaving the stand with his sister and heading off to follow the group.

“Uhhh, they’re going back the way we came.” Nebel said after quickly consulting his pip-colt. “You sure this is a good idea?”

“Yes, I think this is a lead worth pursuing. We follow them from a distance for a while and see where they’re headed. If it seems like they’re heading to New Pegas then we’ll stop and come back here.”

Nebel nodded slowly, not really thrilled about having to backtrack, but understanding the point his sister was trying to make.

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@StrawberryMilk Simp

Looking at a map, Otho shook his head, "They're heading the exact opposite way as our destination, so I would consider that a side-track. But as to whether they're worth pursuing," he shrugged, "Can't say. It's not like your objective has a time limit."

 

@GeneralDirection @Evil Pink One

The group travelled south on the main road, keeping their distance from the troops gathered at the glowing tower, though they weren't traveling long before they were set upon by the same gang that had attacked Nebel and Night on their pass through the previous day, only they didn't have the NLR soldiers to back them up.

The fighting looked intense, and one of the griffons was injured.

Would one of their following groups step up to help? or wait to see how it played out?

 

@Props Valroa

The clouded city was difficult to traverse, the bomb having done significant damage in addition to the anti-magical effects. Carnelian wouldn't find anything of value until the fifth building she searched, which seemed to be an armory, mostly undamaged.

Her discovery didn't go unnoticed, as three spawn seemed to have noticed her, a unicorn, a pegasus, and a zebra.

They didn't seem to know exactly where she was though, but they were approaching the building she was in.

" hey Otho, you good at fighting?" Kuya Asked.

But before Otho could look where he is and reply he's already charging towards the battlefield.

Help he does! And the battle crazed pony would fight with the losing side as it poses more challenge!( I'm guessing the one with the griffon's losing?)

Of course the battle has started and he gas seen what his enemy has got for him.

If they're all melee he'd charge through, if there are ranged units, he'll stealthily go at the back and finish them off first.
