    "There's mental conditioning," Staccata adds to that. "Innate, something to do with their lord or mistress, and pretty severe." On how to get out the mare needs to do some thinking. She could always do the sneaky rogue thing, but that would just be one pony getting out.

    A porthole magically opened next to Daniel, giving him a clear view of the skies over the town. "In case y'haven't noticed," Sandy started as he came back from the briefing room. "them skies are empty. Earlier tonight, they were full of guardponies. An' y'can't quite see 'em, but th' streets are like a ghost town too.

He shot the bard a hard glare, made a little less intimidating by both his size and the weariness creeping into his eyes. He'd already used up a lot of magic today, and that bit with the prisoners hadn't helped his reserves much. "Unless y'want more ponies t'be as good as dead, I think we dang better worry about th' town. As for th' base, we know it's in t'th' south, might be in th' old crypt."

    Sandy did hear the click, but they had more important things to worry about now. Namely, the mission at hoof. "Daniel's got a point, Cap'n. I don't see any reason we should stick around any longer 'n we have to. What're your orders?"

    "Alright. Opening tactics, captain?" Despite being chaotic he seems to enjoy the prospect of being ordered into battle. Or maybe just the prospect of fighting. "Or should I just pick a place at the back and make it rain?"

    "Mmm, no, brainwashing is not quite the right word, but you're not cold either."

    ========================================

    Somewhere deep within the Crypts
    Spoiler
    Show

    Twisting passages, a dark light-less labyrinth amongst self, closed off chambers from centuries of neglect. New passages opened up from fallen debris. Bridle Shores, a magnet of trouble and the weird, had many secrets still unknown to her people. Even those explorers from earlier who found themselves a prisoner down here in her fiery prison, knew not of the reaches this crypt extended to. Home to many creatures before and some that still should never be stirred, for now, it plays host to some vamponies and their machinations.


    Through out the night, numerous vamponies were flying in/running in and out carrying with them bodies, dropping them off within like packages. One particular pegasi vampony though flew in without anything as she navigated her way through the passages, instinctively knowing where she was going through the maze. Eventually the mare reached a large chamber where her Lord took for his own.

    She knelt before a stallion with yellow eyes that shone. "My lord, I have found where Tough Stomp was killed, in apartment building south east of Mane Street. There was no body, so its safe to assume he was staked in the heart."

    "Mmm, I see. Its a shame, he was a good soldier. Still hurts every time I feel one of my children die, his true death will not be in vain. Were there any witnesses?"

    "No, which was odd, considering the massive amounts of damage done in the interior of the lobby where the staircase was done. So I double-checked, and as it turns out, they were glamored. Perhaps it were that vampony who was spying on us earlier?"

    Their lord laughed. "Mmm, so she did decide to play against us afterall, lovely. I will enjoy finishing that old job from long ago."

    "Any whom, we should prepare ourselves anyway, before I lost my connection with Grubbs, seems those mortal ponies from before fancy themselves vampony hunters. They may try to come after us with their fancy tech if that monstrosity of an airship can gauge what else they may possess. Pass the word to be on alert..............Oh and yes, before I forget, any word on the whereabouts of Miss Meadow Spring?"


    "Ah, no, last time I spoke with Clover, he told me he saw her walk off with some noble smelling pony who also reeked of lust and spirits."

    "Sigh, I am grounding that young missy. Anyways, speaking of Clover, any word on his plan?"


    "Oh yes, that, yes, he told me was going to be sending the skilled thralls our way."

    "Mmmm, good. Oh dependable Clover, if only he were my real son."
    The vampony put a hoof over his chest and sighed proudly.

    A moment later a smaller framed unicorn vampony in a coat entered the chamber and knelt before his lord next, kneeling next to the pegasi mare. "My lord, we have met the quota. We can prepare for the next stage, if you would please come with me."

    "Oh goody, how exciting."
    The vampony lord lowly chuckled. "Tonight, will be the greatest night in vampony history before our curse. Le sigh, tck, we indeed are the cure, mortality being a disease." He got up from his makeshift throne and walked up to the coar wearing unicorn. "Lead the way my good sir." He then paused and looked at the pegasus mare. "Oh yes, don't forget, spread the word of alertness."

    "Right away my lord," With that she stood up and flash flew away. The two soon disappeared as well as the scene faded to black.

    "Sounds good t'me, Cap'n," Sandy said with a salute and a grin. The little unicorn dashed off to buckle on more stakes, not even bothering to disguise them as knives this time. He couldn't waste any more magic like that. Once he was all kitted up, he made his way back to the others, likely arriving the same time as Rainbow. He gave the sniper a quick smile, doing a little jog in place to showcase his lack of injury.

    Daniel holds up a few arrows and pulls more from his pack, demonstrating his lack of need for more wooden pointy things, but attaches another strap duo to his forehooves anyway.

    "I'll bring out the flamers, on the off chance that I miss. Figure I'll give a halting song a shot if we come across any thralls, too."

    "Going somewhere?" Taylor appears in a nearby doorway and leans against it casually.

    "Yeah, we're just gonna go fight a ludicrously dangerous fight."

    "Alright, just don't die too quick."

    "Pah. Like I'd do anything anticlimactically."

    ---

    Later, In The Wee Hours Of The Morning

    Dawnstrider lifts his head and stares out any entrance he can find, catching glimpses of the far-off sun just starting to rise. He looks back over at Jewel, as well, making sure she's still there and in one piece.

    ---

    Le Shop

    At some point during the busy night, Stellar decided that she'd 'enough had this work of ing ufts' and stumbled off to sleep, but Horne's been kicking all the while. He spent the majority of the time drawing up plans and making a list of ingredients, a few sketches and ideas here and there...now, though, he's just wrapping up the latest part.

    "Now...let's see if I have the physical spectrum just right...If you recall my explanation an hour ago, I need to tune this shadowblade to strike at a target casting a living shadow, or a creature with life force. Thus, if I did this correctly, the blade should slide through armor and stand both until it strikes something living. In theory." Leave it to the Doc to give a long-winded explanation for 'I'm gonna hit it and see what happens'.

    A wisp of shadow breaks apart from his shadowskin, coalescing into an orb, then slowly growing longer, becoming thinner, gravitating towards his outstretched hoof. Soon, he holds what looks to be your standard dagger, but pitch black and shimmering.

    Slowly and carefully, he slides the tip into the armor and then past, then through it, until his hoof lightly bounces off the front. Then, with a lightning-quick movement, he pulls it out and strikes three more times in rapid succession, each one phasing through. He glances at the blade and raises a brow, then quietly nicks his own hoof with it. The shadowskin blocks the damage from a sharp object, of course, but unlike with the armor, it didn't phase.

    "Of course, this requires a great deal of concentration, and I'm not sure how an infusion will work. So far, however, I am impressed with the progress. I tire now, and your friend wishes to speak with you. Thus, till next we meet, farewell..."

    He blinks, then yawns a bit, blinking a few times. "Mm, oh, hi Blades. How did everything go?"

    Daniel:
    Spoiler
    Show
    I‘ll just come right out and say it; Daniel came into existence because I thought to myself one day ‘hey, I think a Scottish accent sounds pretty cool, let‘s put someone with that accent on the team!’.

    Of course, I couldn‘t let some generic guy just fly in and hang around, no. He did appear kind of suddenly, but I came up with his personality very quickly. This was a point in time where the rest of the team was feeling the sting from some losses and fighting a (losing) battle, so I thought ‘hey, we need some optimism in here‘. Thus, Daniel‘s main feature is good cheer.

    It‘s also noteworthy that I got most of his inspiration from Sebastian Vael, though it‘s not so much a total inspiration as a ‘hey, the scot with a bow thing is cool, let‘s do that‘. Like with Kathrine‘s inspiration, if you put Daniel and Sebastian in a room together, they‘d be…pretty much nothing alike. Though Danny‘s a better shot. By far. That‘s his second main feature; he‘s an archer, and a really good one.

    Halfway through his character development, I realized that through his personality and charisma, I‘d accidentally created a near-perfect bardic archetype, so I kind of rolled with it. His music doesn‘t come up often, but it‘s a bonus when it‘s needed. ‘In-Team‘ Daniel doesn‘t have as much versatility as this Daniel does, though. Despite three song effects being hardly versatile.

    For some reason or another, I came up with Taylor‘s ‘Daniel, I am your father‘ reveal in sort of a split-second decision. Danny‘s reaction was more or less ‘Oh yeah, I know, I was waiting for you to figure it out‘, but without Taylor‘s influence in that role, he probably wouldn‘t be as strong (both physically and in the strong will sense) as he is.

    Also, Daniel was one of the first Teammates to be the product of a Ship, though in this case I didn‘t actually consider the ship (Pinkie/Taylor) until after the reveal, whereas with some others it basically defined their personality. Obviously this isn‘t canon in our FwM universe, so Daniel (like Starbeam, Stellar, Thunderbolt, Golden Shore, oh Celestia I could go on) is fine with the ‘single-parent-semi-orphan‘ backstory.

    If I had to give Daniel an alignment, I‘d go with strongly good (fruit doesn‘t fall far from the tree), and chaotic of course. Now that I think about it, he‘s fairly well suited to a Robin Hood personality and career path, but-

    ”Sure, sounds great, except the part about being in the forest. And robbing? Ugh. I‘d rather charm the pants off the rich and get the money that way. Actually, I married into a noble family, so I don‘t even need to steal to give to the poor. Go me!”

    ….Uh. Oh yeah, and he‘s also Genre Savvy to the point of Medium Awareness.

    ”Medium?”

    Get out of here! Ahem. Medium with a side of breakage. Though, this won‘t always come across right, since I (the player) am not nearly as Genre Savvy as Daniel (the character) should be. So if he‘s spontaneously Genre Blind, that‘s my fault.

    ”Ah, is it too late to give my dissertation on-”

    Yes! Geez, people! Get outta here already, let me pick up the shards of the Fourth Wall in peace, sheesh.

He spent the majority of the time drawing up plans and making a list of ingredients, a few sketches and ideas here and there...now, though, he's just wrapping up the latest part.

    "Now...let's see if I have the physical spectrum just right...If you recall my explanation an hour ago, I need to tune this shadowblade to strike at a target casting a living shadow, or a creature with life force. Thus, if I did this correctly, the blade should slide through armor and stand both until it strikes something living. In theory." Leave it to the Doc to give a long-winded explanation for 'I'm gonna hit it and see what happens'.

    A wisp of shadow breaks apart from his shadowskin, coalescing into an orb, then slowly growing longer, becoming thinner, gravitating towards his outstretched hoof. Soon, he holds what looks to be your standard dagger, but pitch black and shimmering.

    Slowly and carefully, he slides the tip into the armor and then past, then through it, until his hoof lightly bounces off the front. Then, with a lightning-quick movement, he pulls it out and strikes three more times in rapid succession, each one phasing through. He glances at the blade and raises a brow, then quietly nicks his own hoof with it. The shadowskin blocks the damage from a sharp object, of course, but unlike with the armor, it didn't phase.

    "Of course, this requires a great deal of concentration, and I'm not sure how an infusion will work. So far, however, I am impressed with the progress. I tire now, and your friend wishes to speak with you. Thus, till next we meet, farewell..."

    He blinks, then yawns a bit, blinking a few times. "Mm, oh, hi Blades. How did everything go?"
    Blades had passed out from exhaustion at the forge partway through the night. Even she could only work so long. However, she stirred awake at the sound of Arvadraa's voice.

    "Oh, good mornin'! It's still a work in progress, but I'm sure we'll get it done. So how's it been? Not too pleasant gettin' pushed aside by Horne, is it? Oh well, how goes that aim-trainin' ya were doin'?"

    [Subterranean Ponyism]

    Their time speeds away. They should be halfway done by now. It won't be long until they return.

    They can't forget this. Surely they aren't heartless. Surely they wouldn't doom their town to destruction, and condemn me to countless years in this inferno. They have some mercy. They will have to at least return to kill me...

    Right?
    When in doubt, use cute little dragons.

    "Alright, roll call on all who is actually going to go and who is going to stay behind and deal with the fire, in the forest," Gear declared, ready with her flash bombs restocked and even a couple of stakes of her own strapped in place where she would normally keep her combat knife. So far Gearstride knew of Silverpine, the two vamps, Daniel, Sandy, Staccata, and Rainbow, she was on the fence with the remaining others.

    Meanwhile, briefing room I suppose.

    "MmmMmmgmgmgmm mfmgmmgmoommmmoo,"
    Came the muffled cries of a newly awakened Meadow, her eyes darting around as the suddenly feeling of gravity working against her, the pain in her body returning, reminding her of a stake essentially embedded in her leg.

    This stirred Grubbs who made a face as he woke up. "Oh...heys...itsa youse....youse don't look so goods."

    "Mmpph!mmmp!" Was the reply, and frankly, she did not, she now only looked partially ghoulish than from her previously all ghoul look.

    "Don'ts worrysh, master gunna rescue me, he gunna rescue you too!"

    "Mmmpphhff!"

    Sandy stepped forward, throwing a neat and tidy salute. He'd re-donned his armor, complete with reflective goggles and neck guard, and added another two belts worth of stakes. He still had his knives, but they weren't likely to get much mileage tonight. "Ready t'finish what we started, Cap'n. Let's put 'em back in th' graves they crawled out of."

    Zephyr himself smiled his goofy little bashful-gung ho smile rearing up before coming down. "You know, when this is all over, I think I will go and try to start a real relationship with Blitz, an gard'dun honest real relationship." He turned to the Cirrus crew, particularly Sandy and gave him a salute. "Consider me your stalwart protector, I will do my best to return that favor."


    Miss M in the meanwhile took a moment to inhale in a zenful manner. This was going to be a fight she had to mentally and physically be prepared for. Tonight would be a big step on her road to fixing her wrongs of centuries past.

    Sandy grinned and saluted right back. "Thanks fer that. Knowin' my luck, I'm gonna need th' help," he said with a wink. "An' I wish you two th' best of luck. Blitz could use a little happiness for all th' trouble we put him through." In the heat of the moment, it slipped his mind that his fillyfriend, whose relationship could be best described as "on the rocks" at the moment, was standing not three paces behind him.

    This is about the time when Hover Heart strolls in the room. He mace swing back and forth from the leather strap in her mouth. "Dang. You ponies are too loud. A filly can't get any beauty sleep."

    "She need it too." said Rainbow. She popped out of nowhere as usual, spooking somepony.

    "Haha. Funny, but I am doomed with this attractiveness. Cursed to be the target of lecherous leers and naughty gazes." mumbles the pilot. "Anyway I am staying. You know how I dislike undead."

    Daniel opens his mouth and Taylor cuts him off. "Resist the urge to snark. Though, I'll add something in." He turns to M and Zephyr and his smile instantly dies to be replaced by the serious-est of the serious. "I'll hold you to your oath. If any of these fine ponies do not return due to your negligence, I swear by Celestia's sun I will dust you myself." To add weight to his statement, he starts forcibly exuding more sunlight than normal - not enough to cause re-death, but it might sting a little.

    To add bonus disconcerting points, he smiles again when the effect fades after a moment. "Nighty-night!" And heads back to the briefing room.

    Naturally, it was Sandy who got spooked. He really should get used to that sorta of thing by now. But at least his leap of surprise showed he was uninjured. "Ack! Rainbow!" He held a hoof to his racing heart. "Thank th' fates yer on our side. Are y'comin' along too?"
