Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Foxglove shrugged.
"...Soon?"
That sounded more hopeful than anything, though she found this whole 'we' thing took a moment of getting used to.

Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Hawkflight trotted over to the mayor, indicating the blue unicorn pony sleeping in the corner. "Who's she?" she asked in a whisper.
((Wait, are we at the mayor's office or the bar? O.o))

"Oh her! She's just a local mage. Kind of odd if you ask me, but a fine gal." The mayor says with a smile.

The bar.

Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
"A mage? She got a name?" Gearstride casually asked. She was sitting with the mayor after all still, this conversation she would hear.

"I believe her name is Aurora. Like I said, nice gal, if a little weird." The mayor says.
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
"...Would she know, or know someone...Who'd be...something about the woods? Concerned? Aware?"
Foxglove asked, having followed the conversation with her eyes and circular attention span. She moved over to them, cautiously.
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
"Uuuuh, maybe?" this mayor appears to be a little bit out of touch with his town.
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Godwyn frowns. The mayor didn't seem to know his town or its citizens all that well. But it wasn't his place to judge the leadership qualities of public figures. That was what elections were for, after all.
He casts a curious glance over to the slumbering pony. "Should I go wake her up?" he quietly asks Foxglove and the rest of the group. "I'd hate to bother her, but if you think she might have useful knowledge or advice, I will go try to politely rouse her from her slumber."

"Couldn't hurt," reasoned Heartflight. "If she's a mage, she might know something about the anti-mag field."
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Godwyn nods. "Very well."
The griffin slinks across the bar, over to where the mare is sleeping. "Excuse me, ma'am?" he quietly addresses her, keeping a few feet between them so he doesn't spoke her. "Ma'am?" If she doesn't respond, he'll rap his knuckles lightly on the table or bar to make a bit of noise. "Ma'am, please wake up."
Once she's awake, he'll smile and gesture to his traveling companions. "I am sorry to wake you, but my companions would like to have a word with you, if you don't mind," he politely tells her.

The mare slowly opens her eyes which look...very odd. For one, they're a bright glowing blue, and almost look crystal like. For another, despite her smiling rather sincerely, they look...incredibly sad.
"If I can do something to help a Paladin, I see no reason why not." She says.
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Foxglove watches the pony's eyes carefully. She found them, for their sorrow, very beautiful. As she looked, she approached and spoke.
"The woods here are...Very strange. They're broken...Magically, for one way."
Foxglove kind of considered the lack of animals more important than the anti-magic field, but that's because it's Foxglove. But the two were probably connected...
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
The mare gives Foxglove a quizzical look. "What exactly do you mean by "Broken Magically"? she asks.
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Godwyn gives the mare a kind, genuine smile. "Your assistance is appreciated. As for the woods, there is some sort of strange anti-magic field sprung up in one of the clearings. As a result, or we assume as a result, all the animals in the surrounding areas have fled. There was also an issue with a hungry purple wurm, but thankfully that has been resolved peacefully. So yes, we were hoping your magical knowledge would prove insightful or helpful."

"There's ... nothing," said Heart. "No animals, no creatures, just a bitchy raven and an anti-magic zone that's been around for a while. The anti-magic zone kind of looks like the Everfree Forest, near Canterlot."

"Interesting...the most I can do is refer you to somebody else. I'm not an expert on this kind of thing, though I know a pony who is. I could tell you the basics, but that's not really anything you couldn't find out on your own. And what's this about a...jerky raven?" She asks. She apparently doesn't like swear words all that much.

"Well, it could talk, for one thing," said Heart. "And had a real mouth on it too. It said it was somepony's familiar."

Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
"...He was a familliar who gave us a warning, and apparently used to come there with a mare who brought other ponies..."
Foxglove mused, coming into sharper focus on the subject of the raven, who she wanted to think had been trying to help them with the warning. Or maybe not.
"She wasn't very nice...I wonder if she's been through town, or wandered through some other way..."
Apparently the thought of asking her didn't occur to Foxglove, so she just devolved into quiet mutterings, that last sentence the last one loud enough to hear.
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Godwyn gives Heart a disapproving look. He then looks back at the mare and smiles politely. "My apologies. The rude raven was the familiar of some antagonistic mare, who in turn serves a darker, more villainous master. Or so was the implication, what with the death threats and all. It seems they are somehow tied to the anti-magic field, though I am not sure if they caused it, or just tended to it."

"Who wasn't very nice?" the pony questions.

"I'm merely speculating. My friend could tell you more. She lives just outside Trottingham." The mage says.

"The mare...I mean, I don't know about her supply of lighting fixtures, but...Godwyn may be right about her...."
Foxglove...Non-explained.

"The mare in charge of whatever scheme is at play. The one who gave us death-threats, via the raven," Greif explains.

The griffin smiles. "Thank you. What is your friend's name, and what can you tell us about her and where to find her? I am not from these lands, so I am unfamiliar with where Trottingham is..."

"Her friends call her "Anna", so just call her that. She always likes making new friends." The mage says with a genuine smile. "Trottingham is much easier to reach if you hire a mage who knows how to teleport. Otherwise, it's a bit of a walk." The mage says.

"I think he meant she's really really evil." The mage points out. "But I think there is something in the evil overlord handbook about insufficient amounts of light." the mage jokes.

"Or a train," Hawkflight pointed out. "Or a hot-air balloon. Or a carriage. Or I could fly ahead and she could teleport me back. Or ... yeah, basically anything else. I'm Hawkflight, by the way. Speedster, adventurer, and rather good cook."

Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Gearstride popped up behind the mage with a flirty smirk and leaned over. "Are you a mage with teleportation abilities? If you are, maybe I'll hire you."
-
Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
"But of all those things, teleportation would be fastest and easiest," Godwyn muses.
He looks at the mage and smiles politely. "Oh right, introductions. I believe the mayor mentioned your name was Aurora. Mine is Godwyn."

"I'm Aurora. Self-proclaimed wizard, passing through this rather small town, basically just travelling the countryside. Libraries get awfully boring and confining every once in a while after all."

"I am in fact a mage with teleportation abilities. I generally require compensation for such spells though." the mage says.

Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
"Well cutie pie, I could, provide you your compensation. Name your price love," She crooned.

"My price is quite simple. Make me laugh." Aurora responds to Gearstride.

Re: Adventures in Equestria IC.
Heartflight winced. She had no problem participating in the mage's game, but ...
"Does it /have/ to be teleportation?" she asked warily.
