(no currency these items are given out to you as starting equipment, though the make is rather good.) The armor looks you up and down and points to a stand of heavy looking plate armor. You also notice out of the corner of your eye a bipedal wolf with strange looking armor staring at you from the entrance of the forest, will you approach him?
Ill also go to the armory, to see if anything is there for my needs. (can we still go to the trading post?)
(yes, I was just saying that all of you notice the wolf sitting there as if waiting for you.) Doodleman approaches the armory, the armor looks him up and down and then fetches a set of leather armor with a fabric hood. What do you do now???
Doodleman grabs and wears the armor. He noticed the bipedal wolf and just stared at him back. He then drew something resembling saddlebags and headed to the trading post, looking for various herbs, plants, objects, food and water.
While Doodleman starts to grab the various ingredients that the vendor has provided for him the Wolf approaches from behind looking at what he is doing. "So we have an herbalist present, this is a very good thing indeed." says the wolf with a smile, what do you do???
I take the plate armor and equip it, then go to check up on doodleman, offering to carry anything he dosen't want to carry. I also ask the wolf about any information about our opponents that they may have.
He finished packing the herbs in his makeshift saddlebag and then he told him "Oh you know, herbal remedies. I can also make different types of smoke bombs with them plants here. Also, some herbs can be used as spices at certain dishes. As for food, well, I know how to cook a good amount of recipes."
"Interesting, my name is Blacksun by the way, as for our enemy we shall see who it will be. The two nations at war are the nobles of Halafax and the nation of Norsica. Norsica has started a campaign of conquest, though we do not know why." said the wolf, his chest armor is an odd type of blue grey, while his helm is studded with similarly colored stones. However it is what is on his back that catches your attention for a humming can be heard coming from it. what do you do now?
Become extremely interested in the humming coming from Blacksun's back, as back's don't normally hum.
(Sorry, internet went down last night and destroyed my message.) Gears shakes himself out of his brief stupor/derp, and gallops to the trading post, foregoing armour. At the post he picks up a new tool kit and some spare parts, along with a double ended knife with a mouth-grip in the centre. He also gets a headband and slips his unicorn horn pendant into the lining. While positioning the pendant at his forehead should theoretically let him use a little more magic than usual (which wasn't a lot anyway), he had always disliked the look of headbands, and promptly enters the armour shop and obtains a hood-like helmet. He rejoins the group.

Blacksun notices your interest of the device on his back and quickly retrieves it, as it comes around in front of him you notice it is a spear. "Ah it seems you have taken an interest in my singing spear, beautiful is it not? It wa...." Blacksun stops talking suddenly and looks towards the edge of the muster field where the woods start. At the same time you all hear a scream emanate from a royal guard, the guard is lifted into the air but not of his own will and then slammed down into the earth. A unicorn appears from the edge of the forest along with at least forty other ponies, what do you do???
Gears is examining a scoped eyepiece. He turns it towards the forest. "Yup, he's dead. I count 46 hostiles, plus the leader." He pockets the eyepiece. "'You got one of those long tube-y things that shoot metal pellets?" The trader shakes his head, but produces a catapult. "Eh, close enough." I should've gotten that rifle-thingy they were selling in Stalliongrad...
One of the hostile units bolts for Gears as he is setting up his catapult, but before it can even touch him Blacksun throws his spear catching the new found enemy full in the front flank. The spear sticks its opponent to the ground, after dealing with the enemy charging at Gears Blacksun starts to say odd words before looking at the enemy unicorn. With a flash Blacksun sends a bolt of lightning towards his foe and the two engage in a magic battle, do you protect Blacksun as he cannot handle the enemy ground forces, or do you go about your own way?
Gears loads three small rocks into his new weapon and pulls the elastic back with his teeth. He doesn't intend to make a precise shot, merely aiming in the general direction of the unicorn in an attempt to distract them. He shoots. With a flick of his hoof, the catapult folds flush against his right foreleg. Drawing his knife from his hood and clenching it in his teeth, he plants his feet in the ground and flaps his wings powerfully whilst casting a simple spell for only allowing air to flow in one direction. He forms this spell into a sphere shape just below him and uses his wings to force air into the trap. Three flaps later, and he steps forward and releases the enchantment, creating a small detonation that makes him shoot forward at high speed. The entire thing takes only a couple of seconds. He keeps his legs in, extending his wings only just far enough to sustain a glide. He aims to weave through the enemies, intending only to make shallow yet debilitating cuts above the knees and on the shoulders.
Doodleman sees some of the enemies going for Blacksun ,so with a quick swipe from his tail, sends various needles of color towards the enemy. Some land on them as other went zipping past them. He transforms his saddlebags into a small rucksack and throws it in a nearby bush. He then summons a small little black ball of fur with small black eyes and big sharp teeth onto his back, while saying "Come on! Show me what ya got!" He then materializes some magic into a green wad onto his horn and charges onto the enemies. The green wad turns out to be a whip-like weapon as he grabs one of the injured units and send him flying to another one.
As you fight the enemy you notice that they do not bleed at all, but that small rocks flake off of them. The enemy unicorn has broken off of the magic battle with Blacksun and summons more units to him. Blacksun holds his hand out and his spear flies back to his hand, he grips it tight and points it towards the enemy and then says, "Storm Guardians of Sar-Neith into the fray!" With that said a mixed group of wolves and ponies explodes from the opposite end of the muster field, the wolves hold two different weapons one is a whirring chain sword while the other is an odd looking pistol type weapon, the ponies rush in ahead of their wolf friends and push the enemy back. Blacksun nods at Doodleman and then charges into the fray making a b-line straight for the enemy unicorn, do you help with the clean up of enemy forces or assist Blacksun in the capture of the enemy unicorn?
Gears wheels round in a wide arc, coming up behind the Unicorn and preventing any retreat. Fallen enemy warriors are strewn on the ground. Many of them still move, despite having been all but destroyed. A cursory analysis shows why. Stone ponies? Glancing at his blade, he is surprised to find it still sharp. Good craftsponyship... Gears assumes that an illusion must have been woven into the soldiers' creation, as they had appeared real at first glance. The Unicorn, being driven back by his new friends' twin efforts, seemed very real though, and Gears' could not find any hints of magic trickery. Either this is the pony who made these, or whoever made this unicorn was very powerful indeed.
Gears is quickly joined by three wolves their chain swords held in a guard position, but the unicorn gives himself up without a fight. Blacksun along with Doodleman approach the other side while the other storm guardians go about destroying any enemy that still moves. Blacksun approaches the unicorn and begins to converse with him, "You may either speak now or wait until one of our chaplains forces the information out of you." says Blacksun to the pony who looks horrified of what might happen to him so he spills everything he knows. "I was sent here by the Norsican chieftain to ensure Equestria did not get involved in this fight, but it seems you have destroyed the golems I was given to complete the task. In all honesty I knew it was a mistake when I realized that you were a warlock of the Eldar." said the unicorn with shame written all over him, he goes on to tell Blacksun that some traps where set up along the path and that he could accompany your group if you so wished, do accept his terms or do you question him about the war first?
He looks at some of the fallen units and the small little creature jumps off of his back and begins to gnaw on them. "Interesting! An animation and illusion spell, both at the same time." He got a closer look into his surroundings and went for his rucksack. The small bag transformed again into the saddlebags and places them back where they belong. He looks back at the little creature who somehow is changing from black to white. The creature then jumps onto his back and enters the saddlebags. He heard the unicorn talking about him joining them and looks at him with some suspicion in his eyes.
