Emerald shrugged. Caneighda was the much prettier side of Neighagra Falls in her opinion. It was good work there, they got all their celebrating out of the way before the disaster, she made a mint that went right into the reconstruction efforts the next day. Dropping enchanted fabric may help though, mad as those featherbrains were, their carelessness could be an asset. "You're right of course. These seem to be enchanted, I'll see if I can work out a way to leech the magic from one or two of them to fuel the spell on the way, this might just work. Let's go."

Aaaaaaand there goes Emerald's +10. Too bad.

RavenscroftRaven Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:50 am

"This one is only enchanted to provide a smug sense of self-satisfaction that makes the wearer look less worthy and foalish to others, filled with very negative magic it is, I wouldn't risk inflicting its energy on anypony here." Emerald notes as she examines the cloth, her features falling. "Dropping prank items like these at this time seems really immature of them. Then again, they are a young and brash society. It can still be used as a blanket, if its aura is purged. But at least it gave me an idea as to how to tackle the issue, indirectly."

A1C Bronymous Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:06 pm

Dammit, quit reacting in character to everything. Makes it hard to say "just kidding, I'm not that mean." You still have the +10 available.

Fury of the Tempest Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:07 pm

(I'm just having my character completely miss that.)

"So back to what I mentioned before, should we go off then finding your companion? I do not think that we'll get much done just standing here."

A1C Bronymous Sat Jul 06, 2013 8:05 pm

Moving on...

It takes a scant minute or two to head back the way you came and find the river, though anyone with even a remote sense of direction knows that you are far north of where Emerald's spell had been pointing.

"Back to Neighara falls I guess."

"And while we head back," said Dodger, heading back to Neighagra Falls. "I feel I must apologize to all of you. It is entirely my fault that we ended up on that mountain and wasted so much time, and for that I feel nothing but remorse."

"Nah. Its cool. We know where the fault really lies." Storms glances at a certain owl.

OOC: I'm assuming Koli is still with us. If not, disregard this post.

"It's too bad you'll never get where you're going anyway. I could help, but I'm sure it'll just be another waste of time and you obviously don't trust me enough."

Fury of the Tempest Sun Jul 07, 2013 10:07 am

Gearick kept quite as he walked with the others, mulling over his options. After they group had helped him, it was only fair that he helped them out in kind. After that? ... He wasn't sure what to do.

Brony 7 of 9 Sun Jul 07, 2013 12:29 pm

"Koli, you admitted that you lured us to your mountain under false pretenses and fully admitted your intention to eat us," said Dodger. "Not to mention you yourself said that you haven't seen our friend or her captor, and without your magic you won't be able to help. So yes, you are a waste of time and we do not trust you. Congratulations on understanding that."

"Yeah, I lost It. But I still have my memory. I haven't seen either of them, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything about where they might have been or gone to." She definitely seems to know something you don't, but then again, she could be bluffing, lying, or just being a nuisance again. Or all three. Flitting about, Koli seems to be getting the hang of moving about in her new form. Every few moments, she'll re-latch onto one of you, and then release.

Still heading for Neighara, Storm sighs. "You want us to trust you, but you don't seem to understand, trust isn't given its earned. If you want us to trust you, then you must earn that trust, and that quite frankly isn't earned easily."

A1C Bronymous Mon Jul 08, 2013 5:43 pm

Mmmm, I gotta save the "trust" speech for later, that belongs to another character.

"Well then fine. What if I tell you that you shouldn't cross the river, because she was never taken past it?"

A1C Bronymous Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:15 am

"And you won't give me a good reason to help you. I told you she's not over there, that's all you get for free. You want a teaser, something to whet your appetite and grab hold your interest? Web of Consciousness, and retrointeractivity."

Cardbo Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:42 am

"Uh huh. Tell me another." Storm continues in the direction Neighara.

Storm thought Koli words sounded like blowing smoke, but he thought back to his history lessons to see if there might be anything to it. There was no such creature who always lied all the time, and it was possible to deceive by telling the truth.

OOC:General history knowledge check on Web of Consciousness, and retrointeractivity.

"You know now that I think about it, I do not think Koli ever actually lied or at least not from her perspective. Furthermore, what does she gain from lying to us? The best would probably get out of lying is knowing we went the wrong way and I'm sure one of you cursed ponies have some way of finding your destination. If you do not mind Koli, is there any other information that you are willing to part with?

Persuasion:

Cardbo Tue Jul 09, 2013 9:48 pm

"She may or may not be lying, but she's not trying to help us. If she were genuinely trying to help us, she wouldn't be giving us riddles, instead, even if she's telling the truth, we're forced to wait around trying to puzzle through her vague hints. This both wastes our time and Star's time."

deonte9109 Tue Jul 09, 2013 11:34 pm

"I wouldn't help you ponies either after what you did too but it doesn't hurt to see what she has to say or at least consider what her input."

Fury of the Tempest Wed Jul 10, 2013 2:03 pm

"And any smart person would of respected the abilities of others, something that she didn't do." Gearick shot back quickly, always ready to put the stupid deer in his place.
