Ponysona 4, the Campaign.

Added streetwise roll: d20+7 = 15+7 = 22

Icing looked around. Nopony was there waiting for him at the entrance. They must have chickened out. Well, its the thought that counts, clearly they cared, but couldn't be here. A shame, he was now already beginning to like this mysterious gift-giver; shyness was a much maligned quality. Oh well, since he was here, the earth pony supposed he could pick up on some more alfalfabits cereal.

Such a huge place, it's no wonder a lot of the town like it, everything was here. Sucked for the family business, but nopony really cared about tradition over convenience anyways. Not even himself, really. Everypony loved getting their Just Dessert's, but it could not compete on price with the economies of scale happening here.

Instead of going to the market, he found himself wandering towards the eclectic electrics, perhaps to watch a TV program while he waited out his "after-school activities". It is here the pink-maned pony comes upon the scene unfolding. A smile crosses his lips as the medic convinces the kid to reveal his injuries. Smiling about how sweet the scene, not about the kids bruises. That would be wrong and sick. It looked like he might get a Lifetime program today, and he didn't even need to turn on one of the televisions to get it.

"So then... Anyone wanta fill me in?" Zeela asked as she wonders around.

Brash flies along on his hoverboard at speeds that probably got a few "Hay!"'s in response but, he was too busy looking around to pay much attention to them. Then he spots Zeela over by a few other ponies. He glides up and slides to a halt right next to her and says, "Hay, fancy seeing you here again....." he lets his sentence trail off as he's clearly forgotten her name.

"Don't worry, I've forgotten yours too..." Zeela deadpans to brash.

Brash laughs and re-introduces himself, "It's Brash, Brash Landing."

"I'm Zeela the unluckiest pony alive today it seems..." The Winged Striped one with a odd red eye said.

"The upcoming time could possibly be the most dangerous time you will ever see." Icing Sugar notes to himself with a smirk, thinking on that statement from his passing nighttime fancy. Clearly it was more true for this zebra than himself. Really, it was badly worded, but it was campy as all get out, and in a way, that amused him more than a properly ominous warning. He pretends to look at the prices on the TVs, in some deep mental calculation of cost versus benefit, but keeps checking in with this program. 'Lost acquaintances too! Wait... I think I know that one from school...'

Brash overhearing this comment slides over and says, "Oh, you got one of those weird cards too?"

Readfeather stays off to the side of the group, nervously examining them. If any of them reported back to the administrator that she was off her post she could lose her job! At least the intern was handling that poor injured colt.

She glances at the card in her talons, before deciding it's unimportant and hiding it away. "Um... so... um..."

The colt sniffles again, looking at your little group with a hiccup. "W-why are you here?" He sniffles again, wiping at his eyes. "H-he said no one would come."

Spoiler:

"Because, after having a weird as all buck dream and getting a tarot card randomly with a letter. You start to wonder, wanting to see were this crazyness goes." Zeela replied to the colt and sighs. "...I'm deeply sorry for my yelling... Just... This isn't my first time ending up in a group like this... And last time... Let's just say, I ended up getting this red eye as a reminder of that time and group..." She ends her little comment by pointing to said dead eye.

The boy sniffles, but takes off the blanket he had covering his head. The colt's body and eyes are pure white, but you can see what looks to be bruises wrapping around his legs and body in almost a vinelike pattern.

"Sisters..." George examines the bruises.
He stops for a second, rubs his eyes and looks Harder at the bruises, focusing on important details. (-1 Magic point for a +10 bonus).
Roll (heal: Examine the bruises, what could have caused them, are they indictive of anything worse?)

"Who said that? Were they the one who did this to you?"

Zeela then realized what Brash had said most likely means. "Oh for the love of celestia... It really is shaping up to be just like last time." She thought out loud.

Spoiler:

The bruises on him seem to be... Magical in nature. Some sort of magic seems to have wrapped around him and tried to squeeze him. The colt stays silent though. As for if they mean something worse: with how tightly the bonds would've had to be to cause these, someone had to have wanted to kill this colt.

Roll:
Perception and Arcana.

Spoiler:

"Please answer. I can't help you if I don't know."
George resolved to do all he could.
Perception

Roll:

Arcana

Roll:

"Mmm... Let's see if I'm still any good with healing magics..." Zeela mutters then pulls out her potion making supplies and tries to make a quick fix potion for the hurt child.

Using It's Witchcraft to heal:

The other two extra checks:

Spoiler:

"I have a bit of magical know how myself, let's see." Brash said and then clopped his hooves together whereupon they emitted little blue sparks and he held his hooves out trying to help stabilize Zeela's magic.

Arcana to aid Zeela's arcana heal check thing: 11 + 9 = 20.

Yeah, I know it wasn't likely necessary or really helpful but, it was in character.

A last time? This was quickly spiraling outwards. "I indeed have received--" Icing looks at Brash slantedly. " "As Well"? Is this some sort of well-organized prank? And involving a child to this injurious degree?" Icing knew nothing about healing. It didn't come up much beyond putting a burn in warm water (don't use cold unless its a sugar burn, otherwise it can harm the skin) in the business, so he didn't crowd the kid, though the one looked pretty professional. It would take some cold-hearted bastards to do this for a prank, then.

"...If it is a prank I must say I'm impressed, if disgusted. Shouldn't we get this kid to the hospital?"

George looks up at Redfeather.
"Would it be dangerous to move him Dr. Redfeather?"

Spoiler:

"Well... So long as we're cautious..."

All of you notice that the television has currently gotten staticy, and the colt freezes ""N-not again!" He turns and starts running but a black rope whips out of the television and wraps itself arouind the colt's ankles, hogtieing him. He's quickly pulled towards the tv, struggling. The cords all charged with some magical energy, tendrils of black smoke rising off them, but none of you can really pinpoint exactly what magic is there other than it's tightening around the boy's legs and causing more bruises. The boy screams in pain, tears running down his face, and screams, "S-someone! Help!!!" More ropes appear and aim themselves for the rest of the people in the room.

((*grin* I totally know this is going to come back to punish my character later, but I hope it at least ends up with a minor win for the character now! XD ))

"BUCK YOU WEIRD UNKNOWN HORRORS!!!" Zeela declares as she tries to quickly make a bomb potion and then throw it at the weird TV.

Using It's Witchcraft again to build a bomb potion to try and attack the weirdness:

arcana roll:

"H-Hang on!"
George rushes over and starts pulling on the rope tieing up the colt to get him away from the television, while trying to find a point to try breaking it from.
Roll (Preception: Where can I break this rope?)
