"Was someone gonna open the door? I need both claws here."

((That's your cue, GM.))

With powerful unicorn magic, Gearick teleported the team from the dark cavern to the sunny castle courtyard. The tiny number of startled guards blinked and tried to assess the situation. Two gave chase while one ran inside.

"Fog now please Hector." Gearick said, hoping that he wouldn't mind the fact that they would be using it outside instead of inside of the cave as he began to run for the blimp. In his haste to ensure that Hector wouldn't attack anyone... he had kinda forgot that he was going to be teleporting them all outside.

Hector blinked in surprise. How did they get outside!? Gearick said something, and Hector realised they had teleported again. "Chooka," he cursed under his breath, adjusting the nozzle a little. There wasn't time to gather fog upstairs and conserve it; a shame, really, he thought as he opened it up letting out a foamy substance that quickly expanded into a fine mist...

Now with a cover of fog, the STOMP team swiftly manged to reach the blimp to escape as the sounds of confusion drifted off in the distance. While a few griffon guards gave chase, the blimp had already managed to get a decent lead. After traveling for decent period of time, they eventually reach the Neighpon base. The air is somber and silent as the team walks to the infirmary. Rhytmic chimes can be heard as Princess Silver Swirl sleeps in an uneasy peace. The doctors rush to apply the two golden horseshoes to her hooves. There's a flash of light as she awakens with a wide eyed gasp. Looking around she seems startled but soon starts talking, going on about the things she needs to get done in the time lost being sick. Muse gives a heavy sigh in response.

"Aren't ponies normally more debilitated after being struck with a magical disease?" Grease says, eying Silver Swirl as though he expects her to collapse immediately.

kingofsouls Sat Jun 14, 2014 3:23 am

"You'd be amazed what a mortal can live though." Tree deapdans, the ex-spirit quite clearly still mad about not being a spirit anymore.

sunbeam Sat Jun 14, 2014 3:40 am

"I can live through 2.2472 TeraVolts of electricity and 310.7826 Newtons force applied directly to my sternum" Grease say in a monotone, as if he's reading a figure from a scientific document. "That doesn't mean I can stand up 10 seconds after I regain consciousness. What is in those horseshoes?"

Crystalite Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:16 am

Hector watched in astonishment. He, too, had survived some impressive injuries... But not like this.

"Well, whatever it is there's clearly enough of it," the hippogriff stated. He glanced back at Turquoise Tree. "But what do we do about Not-So-Spirited?"

ZamuelNow Mon Jun 16, 2014 9:39 am

Gently kicking off the horseshoes, Princess Silver Swirl paused for a bit. Getting out of the hospital bed, she addressed the STOMP team. "You braved a treacherous dungeon and my royal guard to save my life. For that, I thank you." She bowed to the team, head so low that her horn nearly touched the ground. Then standing upright, she requested each step forward as she gave a gentle tap to each of their shoulders with her horn. "You are all hereby knighted, granting you full citizenship and pardon of prior crimes against the kingdom."

Fury of the Tempest Mon Jun 16, 2014 1:38 pm

Gearick let out a small sigh of relief when the Princess was healed, glad that the two horseshoes did such a good job, in healing her. Though he had to wonder what the story was behind them, and how they were created, the important thing was that the princess was alright. When she mentioned that they had to traverse a dangerous dungeon and handle her royal guard, Gearick couldn't help but smile wrly at this, saying. "Actually, the dungeon didn't feel all that difficult to me. If I'm totally honest, the giant clockwork dragon was the more dangerous threat we've faced." Though of course, this did not stop him from accepting the knighthood... actually feeling a little giddy about that.

ZamuelNow Mon Jun 16, 2014 2:19 pm

Silver Swirl tilted her head in confusion. "Giant...clockwork...dragon? It seems a lot happened while I was out. Regardless, this does unfortunately confirm a theory I had. The traps were designed with a single champion in mind as opposed to a team. It's hard for me to gauge the actual danger when most of the traps simply turn off in my presence."

sunbeam Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:19 am

After Silver Swirl touches her horn to his shoulders, Grease looks at them like he expects daisies to sprout out of them. As the conversation continues a spark arcs between two spines on his head, and he turns to Silver Swirl. "What was it like to be...out? Any strange head trips?"

ZamuelNow Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:31 am

"This wasn't the same as any other time I've been knocked out. I was in excruciating pain the entire time."

Fury of the Tempest Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:43 am

"... Well, that was exceeding unfourtante." Gearick said, sympthy in his voice as he spoke. "Glad we managed to get you out of that rather quickly."

kingofsouls Wed Jun 18, 2014 4:00 pm

"Wait. We just joined. Why do we get pardons?"

"Don't question god fortune Stout."

"Right. In any case. Your Highness. May I ask a question." Stout then reveals the staff he found in the metal dragon.

Crystalite Thu Jun 19, 2014 4:33 pm

"Also, where is Brisk Iron? I need to make a report, and then I have some questions of my own..."

Perception:

ZamuelNow Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:34 pm

Brisk Iron calmly stood up. "I'm right here. What is in your report?" Meanwhile, Princess Silver Swirl slowly examined Stout Spirit's staff with curiosity. "Something about this seems oddly...familiar. I may need to do some research on it...where did you get it?"

Crystalite Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:54 pm

((~~Reserving this post. I'm going to need a few minutes.~~ That was a long few minutes...))

Hector blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected to report that instant!

No matter. He cleared his throat as he began. "Well. We were able to enter the castle without incident, where Muse lead us down into the vault. Three guards barred the way, which Muse incapacitated by psychic illusion. Upon entering, we found there were four tunnels, and Muse advised on the traps she knew of. It was agreed some of us would navigate a particular tunnel while others stayed back in case rescue was needed. Gearick and I were able to navigate the first tunnel and retrieved thenfirst horseshoe. Grease made use of a... Grease-thing to bypass the traps in the next tunnel and retrieved the second. After that, Stout Spirit and Turquoise Tree navigated the third. However, Turquoise Tree did... Something. I don't know how, but the horseshoe was somehow able to restore Turquoise's body, effectively "resurrecting" him. I was called on to retrieve them, leaving that horseshoe behind. At this time, Muse's illusion failed and the guards left for re-inforcements. Reasoning that if one could bring back a dead spirit two would be enough, we elected to leave. Gearick and Muse performed a joint spell manuever to teleport us outside, where I created a fog cover to assist in our escape to the zeppelin."

(Typing on tablet no colors for now)

"Would you believe we're going out in the belly of a steel dragon?" Stout replied "I feel it has something to do with my puerile, but I just can't seem to put my hoof on it. I was hoping you knew something."

ZamuelNow Mon Jun 23, 2014 6:46 pm

"Thankfully nopony got hurt. I'll already need to smooth things over with the guard. I'll also need to do some research on that staff." Brisk Iron cleared her throat. "The report sounds adequate, though it still needs to be written for the archives. Though it sounds about right from the last time I was there."

Fury of the Tempest Tue Jun 24, 2014 12:27 pm

"If no one minds, I think I might as well go get the report written down right now." Gearick said, pretty confident that no one else - apart from the Professser - that would not dislike writing the report. That being said, he probably wouldn't exactly like doing so either, but he could do it, and do it well.

Crystalite Tue Jun 24, 2014 4:10 pm

"...Anyways. I don't suppose the infiltrator I captured has woken up yet?"

ZamuelNow Wed Jun 25, 2014 11:28 pm

"We'll have to see about the infiltrator when we get back to the Caballuston base. And yes, it would be appreciated if you started the report Gearick."

Fury of the Tempest Thu Jun 26, 2014 4:48 pm

Gearick nodded at this and turned away, getting ready to leave. As he did however, he spoke up. "I'll go get that done then. Afterwards... Muse, do you think you might be able to teach me that physic blinding trick?" One he said her name, Gearick's head had turned to face the griffion.
