From her safe vantage point, Wind put away her Cittern, and brought out her bow. She fired another arrow at the demon, and as she did, began to whistle a tune that cut through the air like a knife. It sounded sweet to her teammates, yet harsh to the Armanite. Aurelion, however, would hear Wind Whistler's voice through the air, echoing inside her head having been carried by the music. "Try to hit where I struck with my arrow! He'll be vulnerable there!"

Aurelion Sol smiled when the last of the minions were dealt with, only to become more worried as Valentine antagonized the demon. Repeatedly. She didn't know exactly what game they were playing at, but all it seemed to do was make them more and more pissed off. Which apparently came with the side effect of electricity, because that was building up between his horns. What the fuck. She really didn't like demons.

Dexterity save: 16

Because she could see him literally charging it up, she was ready to avoid the lightning. But that didn't mean she could completely dodge it still! Lightning was fast as hell, moving at the speed of light, so despite a preemptive dodge, it struck her still, but only with a glancing blow. It left a scorching mark there on her flank. Gritting her teeth together, she took a moment to recompose herself. Okay... end the fight quickly... before more shit hits the fan and Valentine does something actually stupid.

That's when she heard Wind Whistler's voice inside of her head, being utterly confused momentarily... but understanding still. "Gotcha."

After the arrow had been fired, Aurelion took off into a sprint at Armanite, following its path to its destination, leaping to strike at the point where it pierced the demon's hide. She was quick and ferocious in her attack, ripping at the wound and any others already present on Armanite, blood splattering into her face when she dug her teeth in and ripped her head back with a chunk of flesh as well.

Applebloom would cry out, feeling the pain of the lightening shoot through her. It didn't get her as bad thanks to quick thinking, but she still felt like she was suddenly on fire. She even checked, before looking to the others with a frown. She'd then bring her gaze back to the demon, lunging forward.

Everyone who's poisoned, make another 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of your turn.

The demon was actually to dumb to understand Valentine's joke. Instead the thing stomped angrily as she teleported away, and the other two mortals dodged his lightning! Luckily he felt his hellish powers return almost immediately, and he turned on Valentine again, a bead of lightning forming between his horns as he did so! The lightning once again leapt from his horn and struck Valentine, before bouncing to Applebloom and Wind!

APPLEBLOOM, VALENTINE AND WIND: Make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 24 lightning damage on a failed save or 12 on a successful one.

While this was going on, Rose fired off another shot and actually hit this time! The demon turned around just to get a beam of energy through its eye. It fell over without so much as a sound, and soon melted into a puddle of stinking black tar as it returned to the abyss. Rose twirled her revolver around and deftly holstered it. "Woo. Thanks for being such good distract-"

She couldn't even finish that sentence before puking all over the floor!

The poison would soon pass out of her and Valentine's body as the demons faded away.

Applebloom let out a scream, before collapsing to the ground, breathing lowing as she twitched, looking around. She'd blink a few times, not quite sure what had happened, but it was very clearly bad. She'd lay there for a moment, before slowly trying to get up. It hurt, but she managed to get to her hooves, and shakily stood, her muscles in her back spasming a few times. She'd look around, and stare, before coughing, "We need to evacuate..." She'd say, before taking off at a slow gait, staggering a few times.

As the lightning bolt came at Valentine again, she pushed the full force of her devilish energy against it, deflecting the majority of it aside. Before she could get another retort or blow into the Demon though, she caught it's form fading back to the Lower Hells. She let out a small indignant huff as she waited to see what may happen next.

Wind, due to being in the air and mobile, wasn't as on guard as she would have been if she were on the ground, closer to the enemy, and was thus hit by a stray bolt of lightning and floated to the ground, charred and dazed. She hit the deck with a dull thud, and stayed there, laying prone and breathing heavily. She watched the demon finally get defeated by a shot through the eye from Rose.

"Did we win?" she asked weakly.

As the devil faded away, the group would barely get a moment to breath before a flash of lightning struck the deck of the ship. The thing caught fire almost immediately but that wouldn't have been so bad, normally. Unfortunately immediately after the lightning struck, so to did Lucian fall from the sky. Her came down like an asteroid surrounded by fire and holy light, smashing completely through the ship and going out the other side, somewhere into the ocean below.

"Crap!" Rose shouted out, though she wasn't saying that because of what just happened. "... My hat!" the group would see her hat flying overboard, sinking down towards the ocean. Rose took one look at the group and just said, "... We are going down anyway!" before jumping overboard! She wasn't going to try and save anypony, that's for sure. She wanted her damn hat.

That left the rest of the group with an interesting dilemma. Do they attempt to join Rose down in the waters, or do they attempt to evacuate the civilians onto life rafts? This airship would sink pretty fast when it hit the water and it was far to stormy out to try and fly...

 

[Avedon]

Dreamweaver
Valentine didn't even hesitate for a moment to leap for the hat. Infact, she kind had made a leap for it even before noticing that Rose had as well! There were two things of value that had plummeted to the ocean bellow...but unlike Lucian, the hat was irreplaceable!
"Eh? Rose? You can fl- oh no you're falling like a rock."
She said watching the pile of limbs and horses plummet bellow as she spread her wings and dove down to grab Rose and help guide her descent towards her Hat! She beat up a Demon, saw a cool explosion, and was saving the pony that mattered the most to her anyways! So this is what being a Hero felt like? She didn't get why all those whiney kids from burnt down villages complained so much, this as easy! She beamed in joy as she forgot all those innocent ponies behind her probably needed help.

Wind Whistler saw Lucian go though the ship. Logically, this kind of ship wouldn't stay afloat for long with that kind of damage. She had to get everypony off, into the lifeboats. For that, it would be best to use the airship's alarm bell, rather than try to evacuate by word of mouth. First, she had to get up. Her entire body was aching. She had to crawl to the railing, and use it to climb to her hooves. Her coat was still smoking from the lightning bolt, and every step she took felt like getting hit by another one. The pain racked her body. Gritting her teeth, the bard carried on, getting into the captain's cabin, and setting off the alarm bell. For good measure, she also blew the ship's whistle. She nearly collapsed right there, but she had to get out. Wind took the life ring from the cabin wall, put it around herself and then half-flew outside and over the railing, floating down below to the water.

 

[Dumbledoof]

Dreamweaver GeneralTyrus
The lightning striking the ship and setting it ablaze was enough to make Aurelion's fur stand up on end. She really had enough of that shit for one day after the demon. It only got even worse from there, unfortunately; Lucian's fall broke the camel's back, smashing right through the airship, dooming them to a watery grave below. Couldn't he have fallen at a slightly different trajectory to not break their only transportation?

Annoyance aside, this made a problem. There were still people on board the vessel.

Gritting her teeth at everybody else's extreme lack of care for the rest of the ponies, Aurelion went the opposite away. Digging her claws into the floor, tearing gouges into them, creating her own holds to keep herself from falling over the edge on the tipping boat. "Save yourselves! Dive down and swim as far away as you can!" She called.

How was Aurelion supposed to save anypony when the rest of her group just abandoned them to die? She had to hit her priorities, which meant running over to Applebloom and grabbing them. "Hold on to me!" She ordered, sliding down towards the railing, grabbing old with her feet and overlooking the edge.

 

[GeneralTyrus]

Dreamweaver Dumbledoof

Applebloom was still very much suffering from the near fatal shock that had jolted through her, and threw up onto the floor, before staggering, nearly falling. Thankfully, Aurelion caught her in time, and she'd smile weakly, hooking a foreleg around Aurelion's neck, holding on tight, but not to tight, "Thanks..." She'd breathe out. When they got over to the railing, she felt her guts tighten, and she'd grit her teeth, not liking how high they were, or how fast the ocean was coming towards them, "Mother of the Goddess..." She'd mutter, staring wide eyed.

She'd look at Aurelion, before looking over the edge, waiting for a moment, "We need to jump when the water is a bit closer..." She'd say, before gritting her teeth tight, her jaw set in place. She'd inhale deeply, and grabbed Aurelion, before placing Aurelion on her back, grunting as the little bit of extra weight hurt her spasming spine, "Grab tight and flap your wings!" She'd yell, before grabbing the railing, and hurled herself and Aurelion forward, over the rail.

Rose didn't appear to care that she was falling in the slightest and actually let out a little shocked scream when Valentine grabbed her from behind. "Gah!" She screamed but held her hooves out as they got closer to her at, at which point she swept it up with her magic when she was close enough! "Thanks Val!"

Pulling on the last of his powers, Lucian did two things. The first and most important thing was to use his Commune spell to send a telepathic message to Celestia, in which he informed her of their ship going down and asked for Princess Salacia to come to the scene as quickly as possible. Things weren't looking good for the mortals there, but the arrival of the Goddess of the Oceans would probably save the majority of them. No doubt some of the ponies would die when the ship hit the water but magical buffers helped reduce that impact.

The second thing he did was reach our with his magic towards the group, locating them each one by one. With a magical discharge, he teleported them away from the shipwreck. The closest object he could sense was a ship several miles away, so that's where he landed them before his wounds got the better of him. He only hoped it would be a safe place for them...

It was not.

As the group suddenly landed on the deck of the ship, they'd find themselves quickly surrounded by 5 dozen swords, bows, daggers and other weapons. They'd see a black flag high up on the mast, whipping in the wind. "... Huh." was all Rose could even say as she put her hat back on her head. Not even she was crazy enough to pull her weapons right now, seeing as how they'd all be dead in seconds if they did so...

After a few moments a mare came up to them, her telekinetic grasp resting lightly on the handle of her sheathed sword and dagger. "... What is the meaning of this?" She asked, and looked like she expected a quick answer.

 

[Cyan Hide]

Dreamweaver

Wind Whistler, still with a life ring around her waist, and still weak from the lightning bolt, spread her hooves in a surrendering gesture of 'I'm unarmed', and sat up to face the mare who was addressing them. She very quickly deduced from looking around that they had been teleported to a pirate ship. On the fly, Wind decided that spinning an outright lie could end badly if found out. But the truth was far too crazy to be believed. She'd have to leave an explanation out.

"Parley" she simply said, hoping that would buy her at least enough time to talk.

(Charisma check = 23 (18+5))

"Our ship was attacked and sunk, and we accidentally teleported here in haste. We are in need of safe passage to Saddle Arabia. We don't have much with us but I hope we can strike up some kind of bargain." She looked around, to the armed pirates, and her equally armed comrades, with a weary brow. "I do believe that a constructive relationship would be best for both of us."

As Valentine wrapped her arms around Rose she smiled! She was just thanked for being helpful! She may be Evil but she was Lawful! It was always good to be part of a team!
"Aww your welcome Rose! I mean we're plummeting headfirst into freezing waters! So I got good news and better news. We're totally going to catch your hat, and also: You're definitely going to die! We both are! It's going to be great. Few decades-worth of torture tops! You'll barely notice, time works different there~"
She gives her a wink before they get teleported into a ship, flopping atop each other.
"Ahhhhhhh! Why is this ocean made of trees and so hard?"
She hugged her poor smashed organs and rolled around the deck before opening her eyes and seeing the armed pirates around them She looked to Rose and smiled. Giving her a wink. They still had a chance!
"I'll see you in Hell!"

Applebloom was absolutely terrified as the floated quickly towards the ocean, and was thinking of all the little things she'd done in her life. Just as they were about to hit the ocean, she'd scream, before suddenly feeling hard ground.

To say she was confused would be an understatement. She was just happy that she was alive, and Aurelius was okay. She'd look up, look at the pirates, and sighed deeply. Hearing Windy explain their story, she'd keep her lip's closed.

 

[Dreamweaver]

Avedon Cyan Hide GeneralTyrus Dumbledoof Noivian
To say that the pirates were confused was a massive understatement. They had just been sailing along, enjoying the ocean breeze when suddenly a bunch of armed ponies teleported onto their ship! Luckily the group looked completely disorganized and harmless, having recently come out of a battle from the looks of them. A bunch of them weren't even standing, like Applebloom who was damn near dead a few seconds ago.

Wind Whistler may have just saved the parties life. Through her use of the parley system, the mare actually stopped grabbing the hilts of her weapons and took a more relaxed posture. The party would note that, although the sword and dagger on her hilt were what she had been holding, she had a silver spiked chain wrapped around her body which seemed to glow with black magic. In fact her entire body seemed to glow slightly. The group would get the idea that crossing her maybe a bad idea.

(Counter Charisma Check: 5 (1, +4))

As Wind Whistler spun her tale about how they wound up here, the Pirate Captain was totally enraptured by the Bards tale. Even Rose was enraptured by her, but more so by how well Wind lied! Not that Rose would comment on that. The Pirate Captain listened to rapt attention as Wind spoke, and afterwards she smiled brightly at Wind. "Ah, if it is only passage to Saddle Arabia that you seek, we can do so for a small price!" the Captain said, while motioning for Wind Whistler to stand.

"My crew and I are on our way to Saddle Arabia, to deal with a rival crew! If you help us deal with them, you are free to go afterwards. You all look... suspicious enough to do such a thing. In fact, I shall invite you all to one of Trixie's shows if you can help me in this errand!" She said with a smile! Surely nothing could go wrong with this.

It was at this point that Rose piped in. "... Yeah sure, why not." She said with a shrug. It was just a little more killing, and the chances are that they would die here if they tried anything.

It was at this point that a unicorn mare randomly appeared and landed beside them! Lucian had teleported them from the sinking ship and they had wound up in pretty much the same position. The Pirate Captain took one look at the new unicorn, and then looked back at Wind Whistler who she saw as the groups leader. "... One of yours?"

Before anypony could say anything, Rose piped up. She didn't know this unicorn mare but knew what would happen to her if the crew got a hold of her. Rose had been in this situation before and had a need to help the newcomer, even if it would put her party at risk through lying. "No no, she's with us!" Rose quickly said.

The Pirate Captain looked at them all suspiciously... and then smiled. "Very well, you are all free to go about your business here on the ship. Please stay on the top deck, with the exception of night time. When it is time to sleep, you will be escorted to a room."

Aurelion Sol had turned back to normal so she could have her wings back, fluttering them down slowly... or as slowly as she could, holding up a fully grown pony wasn't exactly easy. She was only a little filly and didn't have a very strong pair of wings yet. It made things quite a bit more difficult. It didn't matter, in the end—they were teleported away.

Being placed on a ship full of pirates was, uh... less than savory, to say the least. Aurelion was left actually scared and hid behind the others while they did the talking. She didn't know what to do in this scenario! With some many weapons pointed at them, she wasn't quite feeling brave enough to be out in the open like that.

Luckily, things weren't looking too terrible for them. Windy was apparently a fucking marvelous liar, and then Rose was as well. Or this pirate captain was just plain stupid and gullible. Either way, they weren't dying, and it was good enough for her.

Aurelion breathed a quiet sigh of relief, she moved over to Applebloom, glancing over them worriedly. "Are you okay?" She asked, frowning. The little filly was tense and on edge still with so many unfamiliar ponies around. She didn't like it.

Her mothers back at home were going to flip if they heard about this...

 

[Noivian]

The mare's head whipped around from the sudden teleport, her eyes sizing up the pirates, and then turning to the other group of obviously not-pirates, watching as one of them vouched for her. She said nothing, but figured that those willing to stick up for her against potentially deadly swashbucklers was someone she would be able to get along with. Slowly, she made her way over to stand with the group, close enough to seem like she was affiliated with them but far enough that they could make space between them if anypony in their group was uncomfortable. She remained respectful, nodding and smiling, mostly to the group who had suddenly announced her as one of theirs.

Once the pirate who seemed to be captain turned to leave them alone, the newcomer gave a small yet gracious bow, so as not to seem too suspicious. "I would have been fish bait if it weren't for you," she stated, addressing mostly Rose. "My name is Ilia Daystrike. I owe you my life." Glancing to the rest of the pirate crew and the retreating captain, she turned back to the more rag-tag looking party of adventurers. "What a funny pickle we've found ourselves in. Now I am to be part of your team until the boat docks next." Ilia's voice was melodious and even, as if she weren't perturbed at all by the current on-goings around her. It almost seemed robotic or emotionless in a sense, the way she talked. It's as if she didn't care that the pirate crew could have easily thrown her overboard and watched her sink in all that plate armor she was wearing.

Wind Whistler heard the pirate's offer, and mulled it over briefly. If they refused, they'd either be thrown overboard to die or have to fight here and now, still tired from the last battle, and with the numbers not in their favour. If they agreed, they would be fighting a group of pirates with the element of surprise, fully rested, and with help from this group of pirates. Plus, they would be getting safe passage to Saddle Arabia. Logically, this was a no-brainer.

"Your offer has absolutely no drawbacks for us compared to any alternative we have. I accept. Thank you for your generosity." she replied calmly, smiling a cool smile and holding out her hoof. This pony was clearly not one for getting excited or sounding enthusiastic, yet it was clear to see she was happy the way things were going.

 

[Dreamweaver]

Avedon Cyan Hide GeneralTyrus Dumbledoof Noivian
The captain reached out to shake Wind's hoof, before departing!

Rose smiled at Ilia and patted her gently on the shoulder. "It's my pleasure, Ilia. I couldn't just let the pirates take you and do... whatever it is they would do with you." with that being said, Rose looked around at the disassembling pirates and shrugged her shoulders. "I suppose we should try and make ourselves useful, so as not to draw attention. You are free to join us once we hit Saddle Arabia, Ilia. Assuming you have nowhere else to go, I mean." Rose then left, to work on anything the ship might be needing.

...
Consider it a full rest.

Six hours later, the companions would be awoken in the middle of the night by a blast of pink light tearing through their compartment. Somehow, it didn't hit any of them! From up above they would hear a commotion and the Captain's voice crying out over the sounds, "Brace!" she cried out, before another beam of pink light tore through the cabin on their left. They'd see one of the workers there get hit, and practically disintegrate. It looked an awful lot like what came from Rose's firearms, but bigger. A lot bigger.

Rose quickly rolled out of bed and ran up the stairs, fully intent on aiding their Captain in her battle. Staying downstairs might just mean they die in a shipwreck.

As the group made their way upstairs, they'd find Rose already engaged with an enemy. It was a griffon who looked rather dangerous but Rose was kind of embarrassing him right now. He thrust his spear at her three times and she nimbly side stepped each one, waiting for her opportunity to attack. When the opportunity presented itself, she pulled the blunderbuss off of her back and fired it point blank into the griffon, sending him rolling away but getting a few beams of energy to his legs as he did so!

Wind would soon find a blast of energy coming at her through the wall!

WIND: Make a DC 15 Dexterity save, taking 21 damage on a failed save or 11 on a successful one.

Across the water they could see an enemy pirate ship. There was a chaotic fight happening in the air between the pegasi and griffons, and on the ships themselves unicorns were teleporting their own soldiers across. It appeared that the enemy had 5 of these energy cannons at their disposal, and all looked currently inactive. Once recharged, the cannons would fire again. Wind already knew how devastating they could be, and there was no doubt that they needed to take out those energy cannons. Their own ship had none and was at a huge disadvantage! Flying to the canons would bring a swarm of enemies upon them, though...

Wind Whistler shot out of her hammock the moment she heard the sounds of battle, and grabbed her Cittern and quiver, strapping the saddle pack to herself, before following the others up the stairs. Luckily she slept with her tail ribbon still attacked. She didn't want to lose the symbol of a Dream Valley pony but wouldn't have had time to grab it. As she was approaching the stairs, she head a whoosh coming from the other side of the hull. It was a little too late to avoid the attack entirely but she narrowly avoided taking a much more devastating attack than she recieved. On the deck she could see the five guns. They were the number one priority. If they took out this ship, all was lost.

Taking them on would be putting herself in great danger, but she had to try her best. She'd have to pull out all the stops. She spent this time, when enemies hadn't spotted her yet, to prepare herself. She strummed a tune on the Cittern to call forth the weather to protect and obscure her and to do harm to those that might harm her, then she played a new, more ancient tune, and with it, willed the Goddess of War to imbue her with the strength she'd need to take out those guns.

Aurelion had fucked off to get some rest after the fiasco with the pirates was done. She didn't really like the position they were in, but it was better than drowning in the ocean still. Who knows if they would have survived without Lucian's quick intervention? Coming back slightly soggy, but alive, was a lot nicer than coming back to her mothers dead.

She was suddenly awoken from her sleep form the sudden yelling, and a giant laser blasting a hole through the barracks of the ship. It shook her awake, flying into a short panic, clawing her way out of a hammock and hitting the floor with a thud. What was even happening? Things were fine, and now they were under attack once more. Things did not look to be going very well for them on this adventure, not at all.

Climbing back to her feet, she took a look through the hole... cannons. Laser cannons. That reminded her of the firearms, and... something that her mom made in specific! How come they had things that her mother had built? That set off red alarms in her mind immediately. Were they being attacked by Equestrian forces!?

Not to mention, unicorns and griffins working together? Unheard of until after the war. This was a very strange fight going down.

Aurelion bolted up towards the top deck, where Rose was fighting with one of the griffins that had boarded their ship. "Wait, hold on!" She yelled, scrambling around, facing the Gladiator. She had yet to shapeshift. "You've got my mom's weapons! Who the heck are you guys and why are you shooting at us!? We're Equestrian!"

Valentine was eager to crawl into a nice bed and sleep off the alcohol Rose had forced on her. Unfortunately the ship had hammocks rather than beds and they were still not very nice. She sighed though, doing her little anti-prayers and slipping out of her usual outfit and into a nice pair of infernally-conjured pajamas with little black-cat prints and a lingering toastiness that never left. She even managed to pull out a Cerberus plushie! It was the most practical and conservative way to have used most of her magic today. She was soon fast alseep with her wings flapping about the cabin and her snores echoing inside for the next several hours until they were finally drowned out by the first volley of fire.

Temporarily.

Even as the group scrambled and a gaping hole let the sea-wind blow bellow decks, Valentine continued to sleep, flopping out of her hammock and drooling heavily.

---

Far too much time later Valentine rushed out after the group, not because she heard the screaming or the danger, tears in her eyes as she tried to shake off her grogginess!
"Roooose! My socks are all weeet! Give me yours!"
She blinked, trying to make sense of the battle infront of her bleary eyes. She gave out a squawk of alarm!
"Ah! Rose! Lookout! A foreigner!...I mean also I think this is that pirate battle we made a deal to help with!"

Valentine was a mare who would always keep her word. Afterall, nothing was more sacred to a Devil than their bargains. So whether Wind meant it or not, or whether the rest of the party saw fit to try and escape the battle she had the integrity to keep to it!

"Hold on Rose!"

Five pinpoints of crimson light appeared in the air over her head as the veil between worlds was torn in each location. A single viscious-looking claw emerged through each, forcing their way trough and tearing the air further until they had rent a rift large enough for a demonic hand comprised of chaos and magic to float forward in the air.

Applebloom had been resting, though she'd not been sleeping well. She didn't feel good at all, and was very restless in her sleep. SHe'd been in the middle of a nightmare when suddenly the world flooded back into her head. She staggered to her legs, feeling much better now that she was awake, and took in sight of everything that was happening. She'd duck, following behind the others, trying to get out and onto the deck.

Having witnessed Windy manage to avoid the random strike through the ship, she pressed forward, feeling more hopeful. Next was the sight of the ship, and she felt dread creeping into her, and she'd look away, watching as Rose managed to fend off the large gryphon. He looked ready for war, and was clearly an enemy. She'd swallow her fear, and fly into combat to support Rose.

Applebloom took a step back, getting ready for any retaliation made against her, hoping she'd be quick enough.
