  • May Precious plays with Night's ears and Farsight's armor.
  • Farsight, meanwhile, sees pony Jack's shadow, and gets suspicious.

  • Bloom does not have enough tickets for a deck of cards and obliterates the apple bobbing to get more(Spring offers her own, but they turn out to be unnecessary)
  • Meanwhile, Far starts yelling at pony jack. Spring hears this, but Far having paranoid rants was nothing new, even when he started yelling about it, so she thinks nothing of it and pays more attention to Bloom's card trick
  • The fireworks are viewed, and it is a nice end to the day
  • Oh, and btw, Smoke Screen emptied what is probably the nation's supply of confetti

The End of the Rahki
Players: Gabbro Ilmenite, Radiant Shores, Nightstalker, pony jack, Rosie Sunshine, Nebenfigur, Cinnamon String. Farsight, Tale Spinner, Herbert Horst, random fandom, Sun Bubbles
  • The group is investigating what they believe to be the hideout of the group creating the golems. Night, Far, and Nebenfigur alerted their respective superiors, but it would take time for backup to arrive. They arrive at a collection of ruins. There are signs of archaeologists having been present, but none are to be seen at the moment. Instead, a hexagon of cloaked figures are seen creating a golem and sending it off to join a growing collection of them
  • They are also seen creating what appears to be a giant one using a tablet of some kind. Gabbro asks if it would be possible to disrupt the magic, and Cinnamon String states that with enough magical interference it might be possible
  • The guard reinforcements arrive and Radiant has a plan to neutralize the golems. Meanwhile, Tale wants to play the hero, but Far is stopping them
  • The plan is to distract the golems and the cult while a team of unicorns works together to disrupt the magic. Not only that but to steal the tablet being used in their construction.
  • Night, Gabbro, and Tale disrupt the hexagon and knock the leaders out, with Night securing the tablet. While Radiant and co get to work on the spell(with some hiccups), Gabbro and Tale distract the golems, with Far picking off some of the cultists.
  • The spell works and the golems fall apart. The remaining cultists surrender, Toot appears, having used the diadem to have the crystal beetles disrupt the cult's plans(they destroyed the wagon in the Heartlands)
  • Everyone celebrates and is told not to tell anypony about that day's events. Tale's flank itches oddly and as the group heads off(Far heading to his home town), Gabbro decides to take toot home...but doesn't know Toot's address. It'll be a long evening. Afterwards, Gabbro treats Tale to one of Spring's cookie cakes, discovering Tale's Talent Mark. A Talentzvah is arranged

  • Radiant Shores tells everyone that her old teacher, Dr.Orichalcum, lives in the Kingdom, and may possess the equipment to track down where the Crystal's were taken
  • The Doctor signs Cinnamon's book and mentions that the shady ponies in cloaks who took the Crystals were scared off by a giant crystal beetle who clawed at them
  • Radiant finds a concentration of Crystal's in the Heartlands that they believe is the cloaked ponies' base.
  • Gabbro is told by Tale briefly about their adventure to get the diadem that controls rock creatures from the crystal bugs. Far tells Tale to shush and Gabbro begins to suspect the diadem might be connected to all of this

  • It is a normal spring day, but the guards seem on edge, with rumors from the heartlands of horrible monsters and rampant gangs. Night is in conversation with some of them, and Far is so tired he walks into a tree and MIGHT have received a concussion
  • Spring approaches Night, and after three minutes, gets her attention, though Night denies that anything is wrong, and Far, satisfying his coffee addiction, is confronted by Tale, wielding a paper with the headline "UNREST IN HEARTLANDS"
  • Spring is distracted by Jingles Sporadic's rhyming and then Radiant Shores shows up to get a muffin
  • After Spring gives out pie, Night goes over and talks to Radiant, discussing some seismic activity on a map.
  • After Radiant leaves and Tale talks her into thinking there may be more to the activity than she thought.
  • Far and Night have a private discussion about what this might mean. They decide to keep as much info as they can for themselves both to avoid a panic and to keep info from falling into less than trustworthy hooves
  • Jingles falls out of a tree and shatters their prosthetic leg. And literally noone notices at all. Even when they start yelling.
  • Spring and Tale discuss Tale's possible TM, and Spring suggests that maybe Tale should consider writing about adventures or going on adventures and writing about then
  • Tale admits to skipping school and Farsight drags them to the train to Cantermore, up the cliffs to the blimp to Cloudopolis, and all the way to the Cloudopolis school. By the ear.
