Re: Fallout Equestria: The Kingdom

[Ironmonger]

"Vat's so dangerous at night? Mutant bats zat try to steal your soul?" he says half-seriously, but his tone shows true curiosity about what might lurk in the night.

[XT Vengeance]

"Close enough. Bloodwings will suck you dry if your are dumb enough to wander around at night."

[Ironmonger]

Cast stares at him in disbelief. "...Seriously?." He blinks. "Right, zis is crazy-land, of course zeh most ridiculous zing I could zink of vould exist, and on top of zat, actively try to murder people." he says with a facehoof.

[Aonee]

Dr. Octo chuckles. "Well, I guess Crusher and I don't have much to worry about then, do we?"

[Orm]

Searchlight entered the tavern and saw Quiver at his usual spot with Novae. "Quiver, Novae get your things we're going to Manehattan for a job." He tells the two.

[Ketchup]

He looks to Searchlight with a worried expression.
"What kind of job is it?"

[Orm]

"The job is to clear a slaver camp. We get a bonus for each we keep alive." Searchlight lets out a sigh. "Let me guess, you don't care if there's a bonus you're just going to kill them anyway?"

[Ketchup]

His expression turns to confusion.
"Not if I can help it... what made you think that?"

[Orm]

"Because everyone else just wants to kill them." Searchlight turns his attention to Novae. "Novae, tell Jayne to meet up at the front gate, that's where we're meeting up." Searchlight turns to leaves the tavern and makes his way to the gate.

[Ketchup]

"Alright then."
He stands up.
"I guess we're moving out again. I'll see you at the gate."
He says to Novae before getting his armor and weapons from his room, and joining the others at the gate.

[Katarn]

Novae and Jayne walks to others at the gates.
"So we get some extra money if we don't kill them? Wow, it'll be nice for a change, if we wouldn't murder everyone we meet."

((TS - Entire Group - 32 hours later))

The road to Manehattan was surprisingly calm. The group picked up those from the Slaver Camp just outside New Appleloosa without incident, and travelled into the night before stopping to rest for an 8 hour night. They picked up again in the morning, and continued until they hit the outskirts of Manehattan.
Night had fallen hours ago, and the group takes refuge in a small shack just outside the city to consider what to do next.

The city looks dead, even more so than much of the Wasteland. Torn and burned buildings litter the landscape, some managing to stand despite appearing to be on their last legs before falling, and probably smashing vagrants that called them home.
Screeches and howls fill the city night, the calls of the mutated creatures that ruled the night of Manehattan, while the streets remained still and clear of the equines that still called this city home, no matter how horrible it became.

[Katarn]

"Lovely place." Jayne said sarcastically.

[Ketchup]

[Disease resist roll=12, success]
Quiver looks out at the dilapidated city.
"I wonder what this city looked like before the war... it must have been pretty impressive."
He says to himself.

[Orm]

Searchlight walked up next to Quiver. "It was." He said sadly, while just staring at the destroyed city.

[Guest]

Shadow looks out a window at city, then goes back to sharping his knives"Soon."He mumbles to himself.

Cherry sits down next to him and starts cleaning her rifle and shotgun.

[XT Vengeance]

"We should stay inside and wait until morning. I don't think anyone wants to get attacked by the damn bloodwings.

[Ketchup]

He snaps out of his reverie.
"So, how are we supposed to find these slavers?"

[Katarn]

Looks at Shadow. "Oh, right. About that. Are you sure that throwing away our bonus by murdering everyone is a good idea? Depending on amount of 'survivors' it might be good caps. In case we'll be able to negotiate and on how much there are slavers, bonus could be bigger, than payment itself."

[Aonee]

Dr. Octo looks over from staring at the city skyline. "Well, that's a bit different than my logs."

[Scyto Harmony]

"I will remember this place..." He mutters to himself, suppressed fear in his voice.

[Guest]

Shadow continues to sharpen his blade"Yup, fifty per ain't enough ta let scum survive, the best they should hope for is quick death."He says in a flat tone.

[Katarn]

"Even if the will be unarmed, surrender?" Jayne think for a moment. "Have their kids there..or whole family. I don't know what history you have with them, but 5 slavers fifty caps each..it's two hundred and fifty caps. Not bad bonus. Oh..and we don't have to waste our ammo or risk our hides, in case we can just intimidate them."

[MrMagma]

Eve sits in a corner of the shack, Ratslayer cradled in her grip. As usual, she is almost completely silent.

[Guest]

Shadow examines his knife"Who said anythin' 'bout usin' bullets?"He inspects it for a little longer then sheaths "Look ah don't give a damn if y'all wanna take a couple, fine. Just don't expect me ta help ya capture any or watch'em, cause in my opinion it's more trouble then it's worth."

[Guest]

Tumble sits next to the Shack's door. He opens it just a crack and peaks out. [PER (9)] He tries to spot any herbs that might be growing nearby.

[CamoBadger]

Tumble sees a leafy blue plant growing from a crack in the road about 50 feet from the shack

[Guest]

[Survival: 45 (60)] Tumble stares at the plant trying to figure out what it was.

[CamoBadger]

He recognizes it as a weed called Duskroot

[Guest]

Tumble closed the door and turned to Cherry.
