Stasis (actual rp, open)
#1
Posted 02 March 2014 - 11:59 PM
Those who were frozen felt they'd woken up immediately, and hadn't aged at all. They didn't even realize anything had happened. Until they stepped outside, and saw most of the world they remembered had been eroded, and the everfree forest had covered most of the world.
You yourself don't know anything about this event, aside from the fact it was "Very very boring", according to Twilight Sparkle, who is now the mayor of New Ponyville.
Twilight herself was completely unaffected, due to her experiments, whereupon she managed to create a robotic body for herself, out of paranoia of a prophetic dream she had, thinking the world would become uninhabitable for regular ponies. Despite the fact she was wrong, the body did prove useful in allowing her to attempt to uncover a way to remove the stasis from an individual. She chose spike, in order to help her recover more ponies from the stasis.
Shortly after she'd made the cure, many equestrians were released from the stasis... and many more died. The process was apparently very dangerous in most cases, reducing the population of equestria into 5 digits, for all sentient species. This number had been slowly draining, due to a lack of resources and economy. Despite this, new ponyville has thrived, due to twilight's teachings of the old world. It hadn't had to turn to brutal ways to survive like most civilisations, and twilight had "sterilised" the area so the forest couldn't grow it over.
However, life in New Ponyville was about to change, for the worse.
After most of a caravan had died in the trip back to the town, they reported "strange, large creatures" alongside "Smaller, more intelligent ones", who seemed to be in charge, sacking most of the caravan, and taking many of it's workers alive, to unknown places. Despite many claims it was just regular monsters or raiders, Twilight was concerned, due to her encountering things that met these descriptions. She rounded up all the able bodied ponies in the town and picked a group of them to enlist help, and possibly find out what exactly these things were. A final request was that you try to find her friends, whether they're dead or alive, she just wants some closure.
You are about to set out on your journey, and this is likely the last you'll see of your family for quite some time. Or maybe the last time. Either way, you may as well say goodbye, and ask whatever questions you need to ask. The town is depending on you.
Rules:
No godmodding
No meta gaming
Actually, just look at the regular rp rules, but some special ones are:
Feel free to establish world building in your posts. You don't need to ask me what robotwilight looks like, just add the details in your heads. Just don't go against what's already been said.
AND Your character is liable to die at any time. In fact, by the time your mission is over, your character probably will be dead. But, you can always make a new character at any time, in fact, I encourage it.

While the day was almost perfect, there was one event that made it all feel wrong.
A crowd stood inside the great library. A smaller crowd was gathered in a line, near the mayor.
The mayor was a robot, but no one batted an eye. She was the reason they were all surviving, and she was the reason they would survive longer. A dragon stood to her side
She glanced at the line, then at the crowd
"I am deeply sorry for this decision. But it is the only way to ensure we wont be harmed by any dangerous groups in the future. Anyone who is slain will be remembered, and we will all be eternally grateful to you all. But it must be done"
Members of the crowd looked at each other, and sifted about
"now, please, can the loved ones of the chosen please come forward for a last farewell, and may everyone else leave so they may have privacy?"
Many of the crowd left. Others stepped forward, to say goodbye.
Twilight stood to the side. Her expression, despite being synthetic, showed melancholia.
"when you are done, please ask any questions you may have. It may be the last time"

Abyssion moved to stand next to Twilight, his armor clinking softly as he rose up then descended next to her. He knew nopony here, he made no opportunity to allow friendship. In fact he had volunteered to journey, in his mind this was an opportunity to test and hone his skills with the blade. He turned to Twilight to seek advice, "What exactly do think we are facing? What real chance do they have to survive?"

She thought for a moment "as a first stop, I'd recommend finding applejack first. I was told she is in Appaloosa. Perhaps you could contact the rail nomads for transportation"

My Ponyville is so gentle and still,
can things ever go wrong?
I don't think that they will
Two amber eyes focused on the mechanical princess, whose own optical lenses twisted around as her head moved towards the smaller group as the other, larger crowd left the great library with doubtful utterances. Not one of them had anything positive to say, but there were no direct objections to what the princess had proposed.
-- "They won't last" -- "Had she chosen my son," -- "Those poor families..." -- "It's a suicide mission" --
Had she been any less sure of the princess, Galangal might have agreed with them. It was only a few of them being sent out, perhaps they were just there to scout a path for other ponies to follow at a later point. Either way, it wasn't a bad move. Finding Twilight's friends would be all but a 'suicide mission', considering the stories the princess had told about the time that they formed the Elements of Harmony.
The zebra watched as the princess and one of her group made conversation, waiting for a certain pony to approach from the crowd.

Amber was greeted by a mirror image of herself.
“Well, looks like you won’t be back for a while.” Fossil Dust grinned, even though she most likely would never see her twin sister again, and knew it.
“Looks like I won’t have to see your face for a while!” Amber snapped back. She couldn’t stand that smirk. Fossil might be her only family, but that didn’t mean she had to like her.
“Whatever, I’ll just leave you to your suicide mission.” Fossil turned around and left without even saying goodbye.

A diamond dog sprinted into the library.
"oh goddesses, did I miss the speech? Am I too late to leave?"
Twilight jumped slightly at the sudden appearance of the canine, but then she remembered thrre'd been a dog on the list of those who would partake
"you missed most of it, but you aren't too late to partake"
"oh good" the diamond dog looked relieved "anyway, we talked about it beforehand, we'll talk about payment after we're done, as we agreed"
She proceeded to sit down and wait until everyone was finished, or someone talked to her.

((Stop posting mindless OOC. Not good, bad.))
An old pony with a warm smile stepped forward and patted Galangal's shoulder with a wrinkled hoof. She was at least a head shorter than Galangal herself, who now looked down to the ancient zebra in fond familiarity, who wore a pale green shawl with tassels that she had tied about her neck. Presently, the older mare adjusted said shawl, then looked back up to Galangal proudly.
"I am so proud of you. This is your destiny and I'm glad you've reached your goal." Said the shawl-wearing mare. There was a gleam of hope in her eyes, shining through the tears that were now beginning to well up in her eyes.
Galangal reached down tenderly with her right hoof and wiped the tears. "I'm not at my goal yet, but I'll get there, whether I see you again or not." Presently, ears reappeared in the eyes of her grandmother. "Shh..." She comforted the old mare. "Don't cry for me, I'm not worthy of your tears. Cry for your daughter, but with the knowledge that she will be avenged."
Galangal's own mother had had her life taken by the fiends that had plagued Ponyville in recent years. She had been harvesting lavender in the forest and like that, she was killed. It was an uninevitable death, it could have never been foreseen. Despite that, Aeslin (the mother of the deceased), could not help blaming herself for the death of her only daughter.
"She was so young and beautiful, my baby... My baby girl... She looked just like you; a beautiful flower in a bed of thorns." Aeslin mused, looking up the the sky with pursed lips that twitched, drawn half between a smile and a frown. The frown won the battle: "I could have saved her..." At the end of her tethers, the old mare broke down.
"Not a creature in this world could have saved her. Fate is cruel, but we stay strong or we'll be consumed by our own sorrow. And you," She began, lifting the old pony's chin up so their eyes were fixed on one another," You are the strongest pony I know. You are my motivation, Sun forbid that you ever lose hope. Forget those thorns, remember the flower as she was and you will not lose sight of her."
The ancient mare's eyes glowed warmly. "And Sun forbid any harm befalls you, may the stars guide you even in the darkest of nights." A silver locket shimmered around her neck, encrusted with a sapphire jewel. "She would want you to have this." She lifted the locket off of her neck with a single hoof, then looked at the deep blue jewel which was the same colour as her own iris. "Let this remind you of her, and of I. May you never trade it for treasure, knowledge or for any other item. It is priceless, as are you."
Like a crown, Aeslin mounted the locket around Galangal's neck. As it accustomed to its new owner, a silvery aura that glimmered like a thousand small diamonds surrounded it. The aura faded, then grew again. As Galangal stared down at it in awe, Aeslin explained; "It is a magical amulet; small, but a great wonder. I know not what it does, but it was given to me by your grandfather before his death. It was handed to your mother, then back to me. Now, it is yours. Maybe it is fate, perhaps you will find its purpose."
Breathless, Galangal accepted the gift. "I feel honoured, thank you so much. There could be no greater gift than such a beautiful locket." She leaned down and embraced her grandmother, who smiled.
"I'm so proud of you."

"Hem, hem." She said, trying to gain the robot Mayors intention. "What will our first goal be? I'd like to think this journey is organised to some degree." She kept her tone calm, despite inside being nervous and scared. They had all said this was a suicide mission. But she believed in the pony known as Twilight Sparkle, being a fantastic leader and wonderful organiser. She could only hope that it was actually quite safe.

Twilight smiled at the presence of the batpony "Ah, yes, we have several planned objectives. The first will be to find applejack. I know she's in Appaloosa, someone told me nearly a year ago she's living there" She looked at spike, who then remembered what he'd been told to give the explorers
"Oh, right" Spike said, grabbing a box from a nearby table.
He opened it, and passed each of the chosen a small device, with a screen.
"It should allow you to communicate with twilight in most scenarios, along with find out what certain things she has any knowledge about are. It can play videos and stuff, but don't expect it to work if you go deep underground or high up. The tech is powerful, but not unstoppable"
Twilight nodded "Thank you, spike"

Abyssion took a moment to look over his claw armor, he checked the leather straps making them tight. He stored the communicator in a space in his armor to keep it close and safe. He then inspected his longsword, he looked at it closely after seeing a small nick he used a whet stone stored in his armor plates to sharpen it. After satisfied that his sword was up to par he looked to Twilight, "I am sufficiently prepared, and ready to move when everyone else is."

"Should be very useful, Twilight." She commented. She yawned, slightly tired. "I've said my goodbyes, farewells, and all of that sort. Now, I'd like to be off as soon as possible." She then sighed. Im gonna die. I'm already dead. It's not like anyone will miss me. She thought sadly. She then walked towards the door. Her head hung low, she nudged it a bit. "Any of you coming?" She asked impatiently.
#23
Posted 07 March 2014 - 09:14 PM
((thank you!))
Crag followed "I guess we'll all wait at the gates for the rest of you guys" She looked at the device as she walked.
There were many vids on it, among them the towns history, which she'd probably watch on the trip. Hopefully it was more interesting than her town's history.
#24
Posted 07 March 2014 - 09:54 PM
Abyssion followed them out, turning to the rest, he nodded, "Well let's not make everypony wait for salvation." 'hmph, all the good we might! do' he thought silently, 'No, we must have faith. the world needs the Elements together again!'
He followed the others out, his face set with determination.

Galangal followed the others out of the grand library, watching as her grandmother left. I hope she's alright. Although the old mare would survive alone just fine, and she knew it, there was still always that slither of doubt on the white-coated mare's mind. However, nopony was safe at this time but at least her dear grandmother would be safer than she was. Self-consciously, she twiddled her sapphire locket in her hoof as she stood by the gates of the town, swallowing as she looked out on the world before her.

*inspirational words from blz*))
Crag's communications device started flashing, and a message appeared on it's screen.
It said "hey, this is spike. I'm just testing out the communications system. It should receive messages instantly, if not it'll be soon. If you have any questions while your out, send them to me and I'll relay it to twilight"
It seemed like a useful system, especially if they encountered something tough she knew about.

He walked over to a open space in view of the others at the gate and began to stretch. He knew what Twilight had said that threat level was low, he also knew that anyone who underestimates their situation dies. Therefore he knew that proper preperation may not guaranteed survival, but it gave one a better chance. After stretching he readied his gleaming blade, he focused on an imaginary sparring partner an unleash a lightning fast combo: two slashes followed by four rapid but strong punchs he finished by spinning into a tail whip then slammed his tail on the downed enemy then leaping clear of them.
He went and continued to practice attacks and combations developed for various situations and opponents.

"We could set off, they'd know where the rail nomads were" Crag replied to what the dragon said. She pondered for a minute on what the rail nomads were. The title and fact they provided transport sounded like they had something to do with trains, but she couldn't tell if they were a group, or a type.
It didn't matter, soon they'd be at appaloosa and applejack would either be dead, or better than ever. She wondered what she'd be up to. She'd heard stories of the elements, and they were supposed to be very capable.
She took a look in the sky. It was so warm and bright. The sky was a shade of baby blue. You wouldn't have thought it could go wrong. But it probably would.

Crag shrugged "I'm Crag. I don't have a last name".
She examined the dragon's movement. She certainly had trained hard in hand to hand combat, but she'd never really considered focusing entirely on melee combat. It wasn't practical half the time. This "Abyssion" certainly looked like he could cause a lot of damage before falling.
She considered use of a gun practically up close a challenge, which she peppered with scratches and punches to keep the enemy from focusing hard enough to kill her before she could blast their head clean off with her shotgun. It was fairly fun.
"I guess I'll probably go up front. I'm the only one with a gun"

Posted 12 March 2014 - 06:20 AM
He preferred the sword because he felt that if he must take a life he should pay a price of watching the light of life fade from his enemies eyes. At first when he worked as part of a bodyguard team after he killed his first enemy he had felt nauseated for days. After the second time he just felt pity, the third time he killed a raider, he felt nothing. He didn't derive joy or any sense of fulfillment when he felt the warmth of blood run over his claws, when the look of shock and horror coming across his opponent's face when they realized death was imminent, he just felt an emptiness.

"I'm skilled with a dagger." She said quietly. She sprayed out her wings. "I think I'll... Scout ahead." She said, starting to gain height. Once she was high enough she glided ahead happily. She watched the ground for any sign of danger. Trees blowed in the wind, nothing special. Though she thought that was to be expected. It couldn't be danger all the way, surely? She then focused at the task at hand again. She did not want to be in danger, and did not want others either.
#36
Posted 12 March 2014 - 07:49 AM
Crag shrugged at Abyssion's remark "I kinda chose it out of practicality. It's better to kill something before it can get close."
#37
Posted 12 March 2014 - 03:09 PM
Speed came naturally to him as well as the tough hide of dragon flesh which allowed him to take more abuse. "This way you can pick them off with your gun while I distract them." He said,.

"Depends on what we're fighting. Bandits with guns are pretty common, after all" Crag replied, looking at the pegasus in the sky.
"She better not fly too high up, the shroud fucks with anything that get's too high"
#39
Posted 12 March 2014 - 08:26 PM
Galangal, acknowledging Crag's remark, glanced up at Lumiére with a questioning look. They had just exited the town, it was stupid to scout ahead at this point, since it entailed splitting up. However, it was also stupid to shout up so high, it would alert anything lurking in the woods. Instead, she trotted a little faster and caught up to Crag at the front of the small group.
"Sorry to change the subject a little, but killing something before it gets close can also lead to mistakes and it's a loud noise that could alert others. Since Lumiére's a little away from the pack, 'good with a dagger' and as a batpony nimble in flight, she ought to be able to disarm or take down any threat with more decision than you with that thing. Save the bullets, junior." Pleased with her logic, she smiled up at the diamond dog. "Bandits with guns are a small threat. They won't use said guns if they have any common sense, and neither should you."

"I have my ways. A lot of so-called 'bandits' are zebras, or so I've heard. Maybe they'll take kindly to me, we'll just have to see." Galangal paused for a moment, looked about at them all. "We are an odd bunch. A diamond dog, dragon, a batpony, a zebra..." She chuckled lightly with a huff, shaking her head. "My dad would've never taken kindly to me trooping with you all. Especially your kind, no offense. He loathed diamond dogs, never told me why..." The zebra mused. When she got back - if she got back, that would be something to ask Grandmother Aeslin, if the old mare was still on her hooves by that time.
"I could never judge you like that, though. He was a great man, but a little mislead. Paranoid, if you must."

"sadly, it's still around" Crag looked around as they walked "You know, I was expecting a lot of you to be a bit more scared. You've never left, right?"

"Course I have, just haven't gone out too far. Not all magical herbs grow inside New Ponyville, some of them can only grow in places that are uninhabited. Odd things, very picky." Galangal paused as Abyssion told his story, listening intently. As a dragon, he obviously had less to fear. Even as young as he was, any bandit pony would scream and run at the sight of him. It was harder for a zebra, but she had her ways.
#48
Posted 13 March 2014 - 10:09 PM
Crag thought of the first time she'd fought something. It was shortly after her leaving the town, where she'd been attacked by a group of cannibals. She recalled dodging a bite and shoving another member of the group's neck into the lunging pony. Shortly after, she stabbed one who'd ran off.
She was actually quite proud of her little moves, and her disarming of a bandit armed with the shotgun she used now.
She'd never known how much it hurt a pegasus to pry off one of their flight feathers.
"so, who knows anything about these rail nomads?"

After a short walk, pillars of smoke could be seen emerging from an area behind the treeline. It didnt resemble that of a wildfire, thanks to each being close in size. It could've been a bandit camp, or something else entirely.

#53
Posted 17 March 2014 - 10:03 PM
'Till death rend me neigh, my blade,' He silently thought 'shall eviscerate anything in its path.'
His eyes narrowed, turning cold and brutal. His body became one if a killer, of one who had stolen life and was prepared to kill again. His wings folded to give him maximum forward movement, his tail moved as a combat stabilizer, keeping his balance set. Any who would happen to walk by would see a dragon who is out for blood.

She finally got out the other end of the trees. For some reason there was 4 campfires, along with multiple tents, despite only one pony being visible. She slowly crept forward, and could see inside the largest tent. There was no one inside.
She decided to announce her prescense. "friend or foe?" she uttered, shotgun in hand.

Galangal galloped up to James and the others, stopping then walking in a small circle before looking about at them all. "No action? Well, you're all no fun." She said with a condescending tinge, appearing sarcastically disappointed. "Abyssion, back off. If he hasn't wailed yet or pulled out a gun, it's safe to say he's no threat. I guess he's one of the betas in this pack." The zebra grinned at James then trotted over to the fire, spat on her hoof and dispersed what little wood there was on it. With her hoof she then stamped them out individually.
"I trust none of your little friends will be back, what with there being no smoke."

Galangal shrugged. "I'd love to leave them alone, but it doesn't seem like you're trying to do anything to stop me. Mind if I go and loot some of your stuff while I'm at it? Don't worry, I'll leave you some stuff and clean up after myself." She made for one of the makeshift shelters, then turned around and walked backwards to talk to him; "How did a yellow-bellied guy like you end up out here?"

"If you're going to make threats, we're gonna be pretty angry!" Galangal called from the tent. She rooted through what was in there - not much. Most of it was... Baking? Her eyebrow lifted, why would a bandit have baking equipment? "That language isn't helping your cause, buddy!" he called absently over her shoulder. Finding a hammer, she lifted it then threw it up and caught it again in her hoof. That would do for now - this new guy seemed nice, it was rude to take away everything.
Exiting the tent, she made her way back to where the yellow and green colt was. She eyed his sword critically. "Is that iron? You do know that stuff rusts easy, right?"

"She set us down some food for us to eat, my sword however slid off the table and stabbed my foot, sending me out the back limping. Another dragon friend of mine came out to help me without touching her food. When we got back inside it was a frenzy. The food was spiked with debilitating poison, and even with my friend and mines' help everyone else who was affected were mutilated and devoured by cannibals. After going our separate ways I vowed to never let my guard down around anyone in unfamiliar spaces. Later I was to hear my friend had fell upon her sword in grief over her failure to protect, this is that sword." He finished, forgotten emotion boiled inside him as fires burned in his eyes as he raised his blade, "This is a sword now of vengeance. I will eventually find that cottage again and I will slaughter every living cannibal inside till my soul can rest, till I have no reason left to fight, then this blade shall retire at peace."
"As to why they had food but choose cannibalism over it shows how unstable our world is." He remarked grimly.

He had binoculars in his hooves, and was keeping an eye out for his group. He'd noticed that the fire nearby had finally gone out. A smile crawled onto his face.
He spoke into a radio "the fire's out. Should I check if whatever killed James is still there?"
A voice came from the speaker "yeah. We'll head towards it when you tell us what's there."
The Pegasus begun moving the cloud, at a similar rate to the other clouds above it. He grabbed his rifle and examined the camp.
There was a jumble composed of a diamond dog, a dragon, a zebra, and he couldn't see if there was anything else.
James was still alive.
He scowled "James isn't dead"
"fuck. Right, what's there?"
"a diamond dog, a dragon, and a zebra at the very least. Only the diamond dog has a gun, and it won't have the range to hit me."
"good. A dragon? Hmm, we'll eat well tonight. Keep your eye on them"
The sniper kept on watching. He was virtually impossible to see from below, which was perfect.

Sure enough, she turned and left "I'm just gonna do the thing the princess told me to do, rather than steal from some likely innocent healer. Abyssion, if you're as much of a paragon as you say, you'll come with me"

((Shit 'bout to go down))
Galangal stood by James, the hammer in her mouth, then placed it in front of him. "Take your hammer back. Since you're a cook, it won't be much help to you. And you guys, calm down. If there's any threat here it's not from him. He's definitely a cook, all that's in his tent is stuff for baking and this hammer. I suggest we move on." She scowled as James commented about her. "I was only trying to wind you up. I really don't know what I'm doing, I usually just heal others up."

((Okay, I like dealing with the things))
"I may seem bitchy, but I'm only trying to play bad cop. I'm actually from long line of good zebra folk! My dad was--"
As she stood proudly, a sudden loud noise sounded from above and she was hit with a jolt of pain in her front left leg. She trembled for a moment, her speech stopping instantly. Looking down at the point of impact, it began to bleed and it collapsed under her momentarily.
"Someone give me- give me their shoulder." A lump was in her throat and she could feel her stomach churning as the pain that had at first been numb began to sear her flesh. "Please"

The sniper scowled. He'd been cocky, tried to hit the zebra's heart. It would also mean he could be found.
He spoke into the radio "I've fired, the dragon isn't dead"
"shit. We'll be there in a few seconds"
He loaded another shot, and prepared to fire...

She grabbed some running alcohol and bandages from James' pack, and stuffed the bandages inside the bottle.
She looked at where the bullets had came from, and could catch some color. She lit the bandage on fire and threw it at the cloud.
Her strong arm lobbed it high enough that it would've hit the cloud, but it missed.
A few seconds later it came down onto the cloud.
The sniper could be heard screaming, and the cloud dispersed, dropping a burning pony to the ground. If he wasn't dead by the time he collided, he was now.
She picked up his rifle "there's gonna be more of them..." she muttered, quickly bandaging the wounds the zebra and the pony had "we'll treat them later"

Meanwhile, a buffalo, a unicorn and a donkey all headed towards the camp. The unicorn was going to use magic to combat those who'd invaded her camp. The buffalo wielded a large hammer, and had some spears for ranged attacks, and the donkey held an assault rifle.
"they killed Scope, they could be dangerous" the unicorn remarked.
"I'm more dangerous" the buffalo replied.
"I'm just saying don't charge in head on"
The buffalo looked somewhat disappointed.

She aimed the rifle for a few seconds.
...
A spear flew from the foliage, nailing a tent. A few more spears were thrown. They missed.
Shortly after, a buffalo wearing ramshackle armor burst from the bushes, wielding a hammer and a whole lot of hatred. Crag shot the rifle a few times. Two of the shots hit, not doing much to slow it down. The buffalo barged into her, and slammed her against a tree.
She started coughing. She was losing breath.
The diamond dog reached for her rifle, but the buffalo stomped on her hand
"do you think I'm stupid?" the buffalo pondered in a deep voice.
"yes" Crag grinned, having pulled out her shotgun when the buffalo was distracted.
The buffalo didn't even have time to look surprised before it's head wasn't connected anymore
"hahah!"crag laughed, standing up "my legs hurt so fucking much, but hahaha!"

James coughed, feeling another quick burst of pain from his leg, he cringed, blacking out..

((Crag is crazy badass, also Blazer that shit could've gone into one paragraph why are you doing the liney thing that Izzy does))
Breathing heavily, Galangal clutched the wound in her leg. She put it down parallel to the ground, then pushed on it with her other hoof. She felt a 'chunk' as the bullet dislodged from within, accompanied by a whimper. She squeezed her eyes shut, then lifted the wound to her mouth and sucked. The bullet popped into her mouth and she spat it onto the floor. It was in a pool of blood.
Her dilated pupils somehow found their way to James through all the commotion outside of the tent and she did the same procedure on his wound. She grabbed the last bandage from James' pack, making a 'tch' sound - it was ignorant of Crag to throw that other one away. She wrapped it tightly around his wound with her mouth and unharmed foreleg, tying a double-knotted bow to secure it. Now, a crutch.
Looking out of the open entrance of the tent, she spied a tall elm stick with a v-shaped lodgement. Perfect, provided it wasn't rotten. However, it was on the opposite side of the clearing and she'd have to risk her life to get to it, possibly even James'. Looking back to him, she thought on it for a moment. No, it wasn't her decision to make. As replacement, she grabbed the tallest rolling pin from James' kit and hoisted it beneath her injured leg. She was ready to go out when needed - James could be hoisted over her back.

The donkey growled, and the unicorn leapt out of the way. The assault rifle sprayed out a hail of bullets.
Contrary to most myths, dragons are not indescructible, even if many still believed it. This donkey wasn't in a very happy mood. His buffalo buddy's face had just been exploded, and he wasn't about to let this dragon kill his boss.
Crag walked over to Galangal and lifted her up "what were you wanting to get?"
((razored, just so you know, abyssion isn't gonna die, but his wings will end up being shredded to pieces))

"this was fucking pointless. None of them have anything on them and the dragon looks like he exercises too much to provide much food..." she grumbled, before standing on the trees.
"hey! Both of you wounded fucks, what you got on you?"

Hearing the whistling of the blade, she ducked down, and it flew past her. She then grabbed it with her magic.
"thanks for the gift hon'"

Galangal sat in the back of the tent next to James, her head throbbing from both stress and agony. She shook him with a hoof on his chest: "Get up, come on.." She moved the hoof to his face and lifted an eyelid. Nope, he would be out for a little longer. The zebra pulled her rucksack from her shoulders and put it on the ground in front of herself, then opened it with her teeth and removed her black-handled athame. She couldn't see it, but as she ran her tongue along it she could feel the alchemical pattern along it. It was a ritual knife but if she had to use it to defend herself, she certainly would. However, she would never throw a thing so precious to her.
The mare slumped back and let out a little 'huff'. She waited for whatever would come, her athame still in her mouth.
Crag came and lifted her. "Get James too, he's just there... Also, I need the y-shaped stick there as a crutch. My leg will heal, but I can't walk as it is."

Abyssion sighed, it was true, the sword seemed to have a bloody history of suicides, once a mare who was desperate to stop the pain of starvation stole it from him and killed herself. He sincerely hoped this unicorn would follow suite and continue the myth of the cursed black blade. "In any case, I will have my blade back, whether I'm dead or alive, that sword piece is mine. So its just down to this, the end of my doomed venture. Hah!"

James slumped over, slowly opening his eyes with all the sound, he cringed as he tried to move his leg. "Urgh..." He looked at Galangal, a little bit surprised
"She saved.. my life?" James tought, and then started to think. "Maybe these people arent that bad.." He huffed. James looked tired and weak, but he was alive...

Crag nodded and lifted up James "so what do you need James?" she asked, setting down galangal near the stick she wanted.
She was ignoring the unicorn, for the simple matter she didn't want to tear the group apart if they had valuable loot.
