It's almost like he wants to be hit.
"Trying is the operative word. I am willing to allow the smith to batter away until no weapon of hers remains, but your magic will not affect me with even a half-second to spare. Release your hold; the mare has a quarrel with me, not-"
"Me, run out of weapons? Haven't got a lot of faith, have ya!" Blades took out a rather large steel spike next, dipped it in a nearby magma pool, then drew her hammer...

Zaros casually checks his hoof while Horne starts spazzing out and hits the floor. "Your methods are indeed effective."
...and was distracted.
"Arvadraa!" she cried, dropping the red-hot spike and darting to the fallen pony's side. "Bang it, Horne, if ya don't stop doin' this, when ya're gettin' taken out, ya'll be goin' back dead!"
Funny how the assistant of a mass murderer has the nerve to call someone else that, thought Night Jewel.
Flare flicked her tail. "Will that be all? I don't particularly care for such interruptions."

Staccata ponders over the situation. Usually crazy dungeon builders favor the right side or center for the best outcome in her experience. Always a crap-shoot though.
"Whatever we do, splitting up would, like always, be terribly suicidal." The mare checks the ground for any signs of a pony going any particular direction.
Hilariously, depending on your point of view, there are signs of all three passages being used. Old caked and layered dust showing hoof prints in both directions. Benson is just an evil turd nugget right now. >:D

"Isn't....me....enough!! Stop...resisting...."
With utterly indifferent nonchalance honed by years of walking over corpse piles without giving a buck, Zaros takes a few steps towards Flare. "It should be for a short amount of time at least, yes." Under his helm, he frowns and starts counting his estimated times until either Blades tries to kill him or Arvadraa does. "As for me, I am interested to hear how you came to this position...without a jailer's bias."
"Arrrrghhhhhpickupthehammerandnothinnnnnghhh....."

"Ya cut it out! 'Cause if ya weren't inside her, I'd cut ya out myself!" Blades grabbed Arvadraa and shook a bit.
Flare ignored the chaos and thought for a bit. "I have barely any memory of what happened to me. If I ever committed a crime, I have long since forgotten it. Of course, some of your kind were not happy about the earthquakes I created, but I saw no other options. I could not let myself be abandoned forever."

"I agree. Splitting up would do us no favours." Silverpine pondered the matter for a little while, before turning to Miss M. "Anything your vampony senses could pick up? Otherwise we're going to roll dice and pick one."

"All of the paths have seen use," Staccata states. She looks a little annoyed that the place has been so thoroughly explored by the ponies they want to kill. Makes it harder to find them. To kill them.

Looked like the resident vampony and rogue wasn't going to be much help. "I hope you guys are feeling lucky today then." Silverpine waved his hoof at the right-most path. "Right it is then. Let's go."

A tendril charges to shake Blades off, but it implodes after it so much as twitches. A swirl of colors flashes through Arvadraa's eyes, finally settling on black, though the connection seems shaky. "I've had...enough suffering." She locks eyes with Blades and nods once, using the crafter's body to help pull herself up.

"I see. And, in the event you are freed, what are your plans?"
"Destroyer."
"Hold that line of thought." He turns his head to look at the flutter pony, whose black coat is now receding back to normal brown. "Are we to engage in earnest, then?"
"No. I want to talk."
"And you are in control?"
She winces and leans on Blades. "No. That's why we need to talk."

"Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye, sir." Daniel said with a salute, keeping a leg around Zephyr and drawing his bow with the other hoof. He seems really quite relieved that somepony else is taking charge.

Mazes and Monsters
And so they took the right path in this awful maze. After some time of partially blindly going through, taking this way and that, leaving a 'bread trail' to keep them from being lost. Or so I will take the liberty to assume that. Eventually, they got through a narrow one pony passage and up ahead somewhere in the darkness was a a slight bloop sound.
Whoever was in front of the line and had night vision prepped, or at least second in line would see a floating dead pony, just wobbling there along with other junk and debris. "Eh...I have the worse possible feeling about this..."

A Timely Entrance...Sort Of
It was at that moment that Sandy, with a long moan, clawed his way back to consciousness. The little stallion raised his head, looking bleary-eyed through the inky darkness. "Uhhhhhhh...wha...what happened?" he groaned out, rubbing his aching head. So many things running through his head; a fight at the entrance, something about a spell, pain, so much pain, half-dreams of walking through passages, an innocent pony's head exploding....Sandy lurched on Silverpine's back. He hoped against hopes that last one was a dream.

"Why don't you tell us about it?" Silverpine said, though his tone was anything but sarcastic. Being one of the unaugmented, he obviously did not see anything amiss.

Silverpine craned his neck a little to glance back at his compatriot."Welcome back, Sandy. For now, vamponies to hunt, captain to save." Master of straight-to-the-point-summaries, Silverpine was.

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII
Vampony Maze
Staccata, as would be expected, is letting some big meaty pony shield her from danger like a good meatshield. With her little darkvision trick going on, she keeps an eye out, and an ear, and a nose just in case. When the vampony mistress says the worst possible thing, the rogue gives some advice.
"About the no-killing rule, we don't have that luxury right now."

Straight and to-the-point was just what the doctor ordered. Sandy's eyes bugged out as he scrambled to get himself back onto the ground. "The Cap'n! We...we gotta save her!" With a light *thud*, the engineer got his hooves on the ground and immediately fell over onto the hard rock. For some reason, it felt like somepony had tied his muscles in knots, then threw the knots in a tumble drier just for kicks. Leaning heavily on Siliverpine (as well as anypony else who moved to help him up), he shakily stood himself up. "Just give me a sec, I-I'll get us a light up in a jiffy," he said in response to Silverpine's remark.
His horn sparked and fizzled as he drew upon his depleted magical reserves, and soon his spotlight spell flickered to life. Without any direction on where to point it, he'd give a nice illumination of one of the stone walls.

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII
Rainbow wiggles her nose and turns around once Sandy's voice is heard. In the dark with night goggles, it is hard to see him. Just an ugly green outline of pony shape. The spotlight spell dulls his vision as the goggle adjusts. So her eyes faced front once more.

"There's a dead...floating pony with its surroundings slightly glistening....we should turn back lest we meet the same fate.." She said vaguely enough and urged those who were behind her to step back in this small passageway.
Slosh slosh slosh
Something was coming their in their direction!

Ordinarily, Sandy would be smart enough to know that shining a light onto whatever monstrosity was coming your way was as sure a death sentence as pulling the black curtain in a horror movie. The pony would freeze, gasp and/or scream, and then bam; they're dead. But given his recent bout of unconscious, his head wasn't quite on straight.
Sandy shone the light straight down the passage, straight at the dead pony and whatever was coming their way.

Around the floating dead pony there was a slight shimmer as the light hit it and debris floating around the dead pony as well. That was what Sandy would see, along with the dead floating pony advancing at its slow and steady pace.

Well hopefully that dead pony isn't the captain, the crewponies would likely freak-out and run. Staccata starts taking a position a little ahead in the group relative of what she was at. "Need to get moving."

Not your way. This is my fight. You don't even care.

(Wow. Gotta say, I actually didn't figure this one out.)
Sandy (and his light) stumbled their way to the rear of the group. He tried to keep the light focused on the approaching monster as best as he could; wasn't much he could do against these sorts of things. Except maybe chuck sand at it, but that'd be more irritating than damaging.

"Well, either we're forced back, or we waste all our ranged ammo on this... creature," Silverpine growled.

To be sure, he popped off a shot from his shotgun anyway as he followed the group's retreat. Not that it was going to do much good, from the looks of things.

"At least they're slow," Staccata states keeping her dagger away and backing back. Sentient goo is always weird, and you never know if it will inexplicably be half-dragon.
"We could take another path."
