Starfall, having been weighed down too much by the leggings to join the battle, discards them, muttering about the uselessness of armor if you can hardly move. Hearing the unicorns proposal to join their group, he wanders over. "Well, if what you say about the traps is true then we really have no choice but to take you with us, but that dosen't mean we trust you. You're going to lead the way so that it's in your best interests to deactivate the traps, and don't even think about trying to lead us into an ambush, we know where we need to be headed." Starfall actually wasn't sure of where they were headed, but if the unicorn believed they knew then they were less likely to try and make the group stray from the path. Out of earshot of the unicorn, Starfall questions Gears and Doodleman as if they have a map or know the paths we must follow.
"The path you need to follow is that road right there, it has not been used in years. Do not worry too much about Spiritseer running off here, I knew him the instant I saw him, for I myself have traveled to his lands though I doubt he remembers me. Take these though you can communicate to each other with them, not to mention call for help if you need to." said Blacksun, he then hands all three of you small ear pieces that have a throat unit attached to them. What is your course of action now?
Gears examines the mic closely while he waits for Starfall to come to a decision. He puts it on, flies high into the sky and starts loudly singing an infamous song by Buck Fastly. "-never gonna tell a liiieee, and hurt you!" Through his scope, he chuckles at the rest of the team's grimaces. "'Guess it works then. ...What? It's a classic!" Gears lands lightly and keeps out of bucking distance of the ponies, still giggling. "Personally, if we've got no other business here, I see no reason not to get started."
"Very well then, follow the road it is, and we'll be taking our unicorn friend with us. You're still gonna lead by the way Spiritseer, not so much that I don't trust you, but more that we're not the ones to pay the price for any forgetfulness relating to these traps. Now lets check if the ea-" Starfalls sentence is cut off as he hears Gear's in the earpiece, and shoots him a murderous look "Yup, they work. So, Spiritseer, how are you going to communicate with us, I didn't see Blacksun give you an earpiece?"
"Are you sure you want to give him an earpiece? I will only give him one if you trust him that much." says Blacksun, what is your reply?
I'm late, but Rashall said I could still join! :] This is my first time roleplaying so be patient. Name: Faerie Fox Species: Pegasus Gender: Mare Abilities- 1. A naturalist, good at building fires and covering tracks 2. Swift flyer 3. Aggressive in fights 4. Super stealthy and agile That's all I can come up with. :[
Muster Field ponies present: EpicBrohoos and Faerie Fox both of you arrive after the battle, Blacksun is still talking to Caberea and his squad. The armor shop and the general store are still open and the map is still available for viewing, what do you do first?
Doodleman winced a little while hearing Gears singing through the mic. "Ow! Okay it works Gears. Ugh. My ears." He said while rubbing his left ear "Anyhow, Im ready to leave."
"Hmmm, nevermind about the earpiece then, he's a unicorn and can contact us with magic if something goes wrong. So then, let us be off, for great victory" A silence greets his last sentence "I'm never saying that again."
Faerie Fox hurries into the armory and picks up leather leg straps, a loose leather face saver and a small dagger. She runs outside to where the rest of the party is waiting. "I'm sorry I'm late, I'm ready to go!" (If I do somethine weird, please correct me.)
Caberea, Doodleman, and Gears head off along the path Blacksun waves as you go, he does tell you one thing however, "If ever you are in trouble look to either the sky or the woods for your salvation my friends!" with that he turns and heads back to the muster field. Spiritseer leads the way with Caberea close behind while Doodleman and Gears bring up the rear. "Ah hold up the first of the traps is up ahead, it won't take me but a minute to disarm it." says Spiritseer going off tot he side of the path a bit, but hurries back with a worried look on his face. "The trap is gone, I could have sworn it was here I set it myself." You continue down the path a little ways when a shot rings out and gouges the earth in front of Caberea, what do you do???
Gears zips forward and bodily hoists Caberea up to canopy-level. He waits to see if any more traps trigger. "Close call, that one. Phew, I'm glad you chose not to wear that dumb plate." Gears calls down. "Oi, Spirit! 'You still in one piece?"
Spirit nods yes, it is obvious that he is frightened. "Woops sorry bout that, Deadeye hold fire those must be the ponies Blacksun told us about. Were coming out from your twelve, Rhinestar, Deadeye deactivate cloaks. said a pony into the earpiece, they soon come out of the woods in front of you, what do you do???
Muster Field pony present Faerie Fox: You decide to leave the muster field by yourself but do not ask for directions and go on a path that winds its way through the forest, but ultimately follows the main road. After traveling for about an hour you see a branch off of the road to what looks like a gate but you can't be sure because it is too dark, do you continue on your current course or take the sub path?
you notice three large figures standing in front of the gate in amongst them are others garbed in green insect like armor, another group are off to one side inspecting bladed weapons. "Well well what do we have here?" says a voice from behind you, do you turn around cautiously or decide to attack the possibly friendly voice?
Faerie Fox, suddenly frightened, kicks out behind her without thinking of who's there. She lands a powerful blow on them, and whirls around to see who crept up on her.
"A fighter too, do not worry I was not going to harm you. My names Duress exarch of the Shadow strike temple of the Striking Scorpion shrine, who would you be?" asks Duress rubbing his now injured front right flank.
Faerie Fox breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry about that, but you deserved it, sneaking up on a pony like that! I'm Faerie Fox, but just call me Faerie." She winced as she put her hoof back down. "Wow, you're more powerful than I thought! What is this Shadow Strike Temple, and why are you concerned with Equestria?"
