Sorry, double post.

Alright, so internet seems to have stabilized to the point where it's crap but not half an hour of downtime for 30 seconds of uptime.If all goes well, I should be able to bash out a post tonight or tomorrow.BTW, Tai, you don't mind sarcastic and slightly bitchy unicorns entering the bar where the drinking and chatting is, do you?

Don't mind at all - actually, it would be a neat contrast to Lens and Lilly.

Good luck :)

Just for the record, just because the undead are enraged at Comet Trail doesn't mean that he personally played a hoof in their deaths. He is wearing a Stormwing uniform through. While House Moon and Star gave the order for Ponyville's death, Stormwing were the ones to carry the order out. Hatred dies hard.


Neat entry. Bit surprised by the beginning, though I have a feeling that Torrential's foe is not yet finished.

Sorry everybody, my internet has basically given up and thrown in the towel these past couple days, hopefully I can get it fixed, but if you're wondering what on earth I could be doing...


That happens. Good luck.
Fighting strangers was part of a mercenary's trade. Joy's Legions fought against bandits, rioters, diamond dogs, zebras, griffins, manticores, rebels, slavers, slave revolts, and the occasional large beast from the Everfree. Some where more dangerous than others. Each one had their own style, experiences (or lack thereof), strengths, and weaknesses. But despite the variety of foes one faced, most tended to share a singular characteristic in common: mortality.

If there was one foe Snow Tail wanted to avoid, it was the undead.

Unlike the previous examples, ghouls and ghosts were far less predictable. What would usually take down a living pony in one swing may just be a minor inconvenience for a ghoul. Or it could take it down, only for the corpse to rise again latter. Sometimes they were intelligent, sometimes not. It all depended on the method used to reanimate the corpses.

As such, Joy's Legions tended to avoid getting into melee fights with the Laughing Cult or necromancers. They would fall back, secure the perimeter, and have it's artillery and grenadiers bombard the area until it was leveled. And just to be sure, have it's unicorns blast the ashes.

I have neither grenades nor grenadiers right now thought Snow to herself, still hiding behind a tree. I just hope steel claws can take these monsters down. I need to know how strong those creatures are, and the best way is try to lure one here and take it out, hopefully She lowered herself again, and peeked. Seeing their reaction to her thrown stone, Tail frowned. That didn't tell me much… but they did take a few seconds to look at the sound. Maybe I could cause another distraction and-

The sellsword heard a voice, a living voice, from behind. It wasn't Star. Startled, Tail looked back and saw a Stormwing trooper not far from her. And she realized that the creatures near the lake also heard the pegasus' urgent warning.

"Shit", Snow Tail whispered. Her trained wings opened, and she flew towards the newcomer. Grabbing the trooper, Tail then flew behind a fallen log and then the pair dropped to the ground. "Quiet, there's more of those monsters nearby," Snow Tail said to the soldier. "Stay low and out of sight - they have arrows ready. Name's Snow Tail by the way. Thanks for the warning, you alright?"
Star Dancer saw Tail and the other pegasus dive behind some cover. From her perspective, the pair was unobscured by the fallen logs and they appeared to be unharmed.

The Scholar went back to look at the lake, worried about Torrential. She froze in fear at the swarms of ghosts charging at the alicorn. Then speechless at the sight of the icy spears that came from the sky. Finally, confusion by the nonchalant reaction of the Mare over her recent losses.

Right out of an ancient tale, the fight between two immortals who walk on a lake. The dead rise, and the sky storms death. Dancer thought. If only Professor Sweet was here, she could compose a ballad fitting for such a sight!
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof", some guy once said. No wonder Scalpel would want to know if the key works or not.

It's going to be interesting to see what Thea and Amaretto are going to do about this. In the meantime, Lens and Lilly are downing drinks in the bar and probably chatting too much.

"High treason, arson, vandalism, destruction of private and public property, incitement of the masses to revolt...petty theft and unlicensed barbering, and her High Priest was seen jaywalking."I'd say (at least to an outside observer) Sweeper probably has the cleanest record. Which makes sense, her being the goddess of cleanliness.I regret nothing.

Sweeper: "They forgot moonshining."

Yeah, that pretty sums up Sweeper in a nutshell :)
That's one of the things I like about this Roleplay - most of the player characters do things that are questionable, demonstrating their flaws and strengths. Even Scalpel's intentions are interesting - questionable acts they are, he's trying to do for what he sees as a good. He sees a future where Machine and Magic will improve ponykind. Granted, for many this is not a good idea, but one can consider it a benevolent goal at the very least.

Sweeper may have not nuked a town or two, but it's not like she's totally pure. She stole from the bakery, and probably caused a bit of havoc in the past. One time (in her backstory), she lead a bunch of Everfree ponies to ransack a garbage dump, all because the owner didn't listen to the alicorn. And she probably did give some ponies some unwanted haircuts...
Really enjoyed the Dok's welcome - so blunt and direct, I couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of direct, I'm surprised that Amaretto's entrance. For a hunter, I'd thought he take a more stealth approach.

I think that may have been Tai, can't recall.


I'm in America, though I don't think I mentioned it before.

Wasn't Dawnscroll in Australia?

Bat ponies are adorable on principle.Considering introducing another new character on my end, couldn't hurt to get out in the world a bit more, eh?


Sweet, looking forward to it :)

Edit: Changed my most recent entry a bit, added a line to Len's last comment.
Loving the new post everyone :D
