Last time, you next a night full of lust with Knifepoint : https://ponepaste.org/11656

You wake up next to the large zebra snoring next to you. After coming to, you can’t help but to take the big mare in a hug. That makes her stir awake, and she soon locks you in a tight embrace, uttering a little drowsy chuckle.

“Last night was memorable.” You breathe out, your head squeezed against a striped mare’s side. “I must admit. I’m still in awe at how large your teats got. Most mares don’t want to go for such a size, so seeing yours feels like a dream come true. If I may ask, how come you’re okay to go for such imposing tits unlike the rest of the mares?”
“Hehe. I guess I just like causing trouble.” You see the mare slightly squeeze her pair between her hind legs under the sheets. “Pretty much everypony likes teats, but they’re not supposed to be nearly this big. Just a hint of a bump around the crotch is already showing too much for some folks, so tanks as big as mine? I might as well be shoving those in everypony’s face. I like how outrageous these are, especially now that I’m too big of a gal to get problems because of that.”

“Those are sexy words that I hear. I was afraid you just wanted extra space to hide your loot.” You say, stiffing a giggle. “And I must confess, a part of me wishes to see you get even bigger. The whole of you of course, but I can’t help but long for your bosom to grow even more generous, so large you could squeeze multiple ponies between them… Oh, I’m so sorry. I don’t even think there’s a limit to how large I’d want you, Knifepoint, in all the ways possible.”
“Well, aren’t you a real freak now?” She chuckles. “It’s a miracle I can still move somehow dexterously, at yet you want me even larger? Do you want me stuck to the ground by my teats? If this is the fate you have in mind for me, maybe I should break your neck while I can still move.”
“Ah, b-but…” You feel Knifepoint’s grip on you tighten. Playfully so. You hope. “My magic will only change your body up to your liking, you know? I admit that I’d love to see your curves bloom more exuberant yet, and I might even try to encourage you to embrace that, but ultimately my magic won’t transform you in a way you don’t want.”
“Mmh…” She ponders, loosening her hold on your neck. “I hope you’re not lying. But yeah, but I gotta reign myself in too. I like how excessive these are, so I might go too big and regret it if I’m not careful. You wouldn’t like that either, right? Or else your magic will make my rack smaller the next time. But anyway, I guess that's kind of my responsibility, so keep the spells coming anyway, Hearty! That’s how you’ll get to see how big I can become.”

You discuss some more with Knifepoint before you finally leave the bed. Among the topics, you tell the zebra mare about how you found out your calling and got your cutie mark. A story she seems to find… a bit boring.
“Heh. You ponies and your ‘origin stories’”. She rolls her eyes. “I grew up in the streets, so I didn’t need my special butt-voice to tell me what I had to do to survive. One evening I just had my mark, so I’m not even sure what triggered it. A good day during which I was able to… ‘recover’ a fat purse of coins if I remember correctly. ‘twas probably it.”

Shortly after, you go back to the inn for breakfast, and start to think about what you should do today.
While she’ll arrive the day after tomorrow, Brass Compass already advised you to move to the upper part of town in her letter. She even recommended an inn for you to stay at, but Knifepoint doesn’t seem to like the idea for now.
“Sounds like the no-fun part of the city if you ask me.” She shrugs. “And I feel like I would stick out too much up there, so I’ll be staying around here if you wanna go.”

Nothing forces you to travel there yet. There’s a small toll to enter even, and you wonder if that could be the actual reason Knifepoint doesn’t want to go to upper Port Sunrise.
If you stay where you are, then you might as well do something with your time, unless you plan to spend the day lounging around, which is a possibility of course. The weather is nice and there are beautiful white-sand beaches around these parts.
Here are the available quests if you want some action.

Collect payment from Seafarer Blue
>Client: Honest liquor provider
>As of today, Seafarer Blue's tab has reached the sum of 217 coins for the consumption of various spirits at my establishment. I'd like to hire some adventurers to recover this debt, to which the reward of the quest will be added. Seafarer Blue has been very apt at running away from guards so far, but among the variety of adventurers out there, this mare's luck will eventually run out. Of course, payment by Seafarer Blue would make this quest null. This is your last chance, Seafarer Blue.
>Reward: 50 xp, 30 coins
>You'd be attempting this quest along 2 other adventurers: Wet Snout the Hound Mistress (plus her faithful animal companion) and Gully the Boatmare
>Expected challenge: easy

Rat problem
>Client: Aggravated Merchant
>I woke up last night just in time to see a rat steal my heirloom locket. I tried to catch it, but it jumped through the sewer grate in the street before I could. Of course guards don’t want to chase after rats, so adventurers will have to do, for a reward of course. Get down in the sewers and find my locket!
>Reward: 50 xp, 90 coins
>You'd be attempting this quest along 2 other adventurers: Ichorice the Plagued, and Lead Slinger the Pest Remover
>Expected challenge: medium

>>42922118
Here be pirates!
>Client: Captain Longbeard
>Last time I arrived in Port Sunrise, I had an encounter with the Redmane pirates. My boat narrowly escaped theirs, but I heard Redmane herself swear that she'd pillage the next ship I'd sail on. I believe this is no bluff, and also that this is a chance to put a stop to this damned crew's career. I'm taking all the help I can muster to beat off these ruffians, so adventurers of all kinds are welcome.
>Reward: 300 xp, 150 coins
>You'd be attempting this quest along 2 other adventurers: Lazulite the Mage Knight, and Matchsticks the Artificer
>Expected challenge: hard

>You can ask mares you know to accompany you in a quest and replace any ONE other adventurer partaking in the quest (unless that adventurer is also the client of the quest)
>These mares would currently accept to accompany you: Knifepoint or Dippy Hooves
>For quests that are ‘hard’ or harder, you may bring one extra companion in addition to swapping one of the two listed for the quest.

>What do?
>Go on a quest?
>Go to upper Port Sunrise? (costs 10 coins once)
>Take a day off? (Beach day, or something else)

>>42922119
Happy New Year Growfag Welcome Back. I hope you had good time and fun celebrating it along with your Merry Christmas. I know I've sure did munching on Chinese takeout with some hot white chocolate and cinnamon gingerbread cookies boy it was so sweet, creamy, and tasty for me.

Impressive on the lovely fun competitive sex scene you made Knifepoint and Whispering Heart have together I like it. Also hmm I remember you showing us a image of only naked Brass Compass and now for this one a naked Knifepoint sitting on naked Hearty if you can do that I'm confident you can also make one where hearty is kissing a mare, sucking on her milky crotchboobs, tasting her vagina, and thrusting and cumming inside her it just depends on the right timing on your part of when and what mare's you want to create those colorful lewd scenes of Hearty doing those intimacy with Growfag.

Since we'll be meeting with our friends and leveling up tomorrow they'll definitely get some toast to reunited friends spell this time; until then we should use this opportunity to do two easy quests or one easy and one medium quest today, so we can get two manas having three and use them on Knifepoint again tonight for another sexy intimate experience, plus we can have the number 50 in our amulet allowing us to have an extra mana in our reserve allowing us to use the Ode to perfection on the zebra twice one for making her taller more beautiful and hot and the other for growing her Milky teats again. Next, we need to buy gifts for Knifepoint and our friends before they get here the next day either from the lower city shops or from the upper city perhaps maybe both if other anons don't mind shopping in both places in a single day.

I choose Collect payment from Seafarer Blue and huh wonder what a faithful animal companion is like on a quest?!

>>42922119
Before we choose a quest to start the day the day, go shopping with Knifepoint a little bit and purchase a large blackjack or whatever weapon she prefers now at her size, if we can afford it. She may really appreciate it from us. (Bonus points if we spend some time glancing at her from behind while trots and swing those huge teats beneath her. Doubt she'll mind us appreciating her sexiness) As for the quest choice...
>Rat Problem
Well...shit. Just realized something we should do. Test out if we can still talk to rats around us at all still. We were warned that it would go away in around a week if we didn't use that ability at all, and we've been gone for a whole week. Since our ability to talk to rats is likely gone by now, the next best quest to take would be...
>Collect Payment
Replace Gully with Knifepoint. Nice, simple, and a good way for Knifepoint to test her body, especially for intimidation purposes.

>>42922119
Let's take a day off and get some hookers.

>>42922119
Buy gifts and pastries. Take the first quest and replace Gully the Boatmare with Knifepoint the Rogue.

>>42922119
Ratchell would be glad if we can find a peaceful solution to the pest quest. If her magic doesn't affect us anymore, maybe Wet Snout can help us talk to rats with some other means.

While you don’t plan to tackle it now, that quest about a rat problem reminds you that Ratchel warned you that your ability to communicate with rats would fade away if you didn’t use it for a week. The harbor houses lots of little candidates in the narrow streets for you to verify that, and you find no rodent that seem like they want to hold a conversation. You don’t hear anything coherent while they scurry away from you as you call towards them either, so most likely Ratchel’s warning became true, and you indeed lost the ability to talk to rats. Aside from going back to the rat-witch herself, you’re not sure how you could get to talk to them again. Communicating with Hilda is going to be more bothersome without a way to do so…. Maybe another adventurer, or a wizard or druid of some sort could help? You’ll have to check that later, especially as you have a hunch you could peacefully resolve this one quest if you regained this ability.

For now, you ponder about buying some presents and pastries, but there isn't any appealing bakery around, and you find only coarse bread and sometimes shabby pretzels. For what you can find in lower Port Sunrise, check out the bottom of the ponepaste: https://ponepaste.org/11646
You also decide to ask Knifepoint if she wants to go shop for a weapon more adequate for her new constitution. The mare already scavenged what seems to be a whole ship’s jib to use as a bra, and she’s glad to go look for a new weapon with more punch.
“I want thinking of getting you a blackjack, like you said.” You recall. “Still think that’s the better weapon for your new methods?”
“Yeah, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have the size I want in stores. Fortunately, that’s the kind of weapon you don’t need an expert blacksmith to build.”
Instead of weapons stores for adventurers, Knifepoint chooses the workshops that sell boat parts. She gets herself a medium beam of wood, fixes a cannonball as wide as your hoof at one end by covering it with several layers of leather and holding it with nails, and then sticks it all together with dark tar. The resulting weighted bat looks like it can do some serious damage indeed.
“There were go!” Knifepoint smiles to herself after crafting her new tool with your help. “I’ll let this dry until tomorrow, then I’ll nail a strap to the handle. I’ll just use a good old big stick in the meantime.”
“I paid for the room at the inn in advance.” She adds as you leave the over-sized club in the room, before craning her neck down to place a little kiss on your cheek. “And thanks for the helping hoof, Hearty.”

In the meantime, you decide to accept the quest about collecting payment from Seafarer Blue, and go meet the other pony that signed up for it.

"Oh, goodness…” The earth mare with her dog does a double takes as she sees you and Knifepoint arrive, in awe of both your companion’s sheer size and the teats swaying under her, which the hound mistress has trouble not gawking at. “I-I see you bought some muscles alright. I’m Wet Snout, and I hope for this bad payer they’ll have the wisdom to surrender without fuss.”

>You may discuss with your companions as you embark on this adventure to get to know them better or catch up with them.
>You already plan to ask this mare if she knows how to communicate with animals, like rats.

>>42926860
Shoot no appealing bakery here and not sure if we can find decent gifts for our friends here too but dosen"t hurt to check again in the afternoon but hmm it looks like we'll may find the best presents and pastries in the upper city if that be the case. At least Knifepoint pay for their room in the Inn in advance for tonight and she made herself a new weapon and bra so we didn't have to buy one.

Tell the team with the skills we all possess, we have everything we need to track this mare down and use the appropriate show of force to scare Seafarer blue into owning up her debt otherwise; she gonna get crush with many dislocated or broken bones this is going to be a piece of cake. Ask Wet Snout how she come across a dog as her faithful animal companion? What can her dog do? What kind of fun bonding adventures did you two have? Stated we have a animal companion ourselves a female rat named Hilda, but a friend of ours is looking after her for the moment. Ask Knifepoint what makes her think she'll stand out in the upper city of Port Sunrise? What does she mean it's a no fun part of the city has she been there before or something? Compliment the makeshift bra she made to hold her teats together and Nuzzle into Knifepoint tell her we're a lot alike she not afraid to putting herself out to survive despite the trouble she may cause and hearty not afraid to be open about his desires he wants from a mare after knowing them for a short while. He didn't only brought her along to witness her put her new form in a trial run, but he also wanted to spend more time with her for the whole day and he plans to give her all his remaining magic he'll accumulate for today once the day is over improving another one of masterpiece even better for another passionate intimate experience with the zebra.

>>42926860
Introduce the bard's name to the hound mistress and that playing music is his specialty in more ways than one.

Ask the zebra how was she able to handcrafted a weapon like that, is she secretly handy with the right tools as a craftsman?

>>42926860
Introduce ourselves and tease Wet Snout by asking why she seems a bit surprised, and why she keeps gawking at our companion that way, especially with the way she looks at her but never directly at her face. Bonus points if we also manage to convince Kinfepoint to join in on the fun by 'accidentally' emphasizing her teats while prodding Wet Snout on the topic. Got to channel our inner mischievous nature if want to get closer with Knifepoint.
>>42927119
Craftsman is a bit of an exaggeration when all she did was jury rig a weapon together for her size. She's just crafty, with it mostly likely due to her street experience.

"Hello. My name is Whispering Heart." You introduce yourself to the new mare. "But you can call me Hearty. And… no need to gawk at our companion Knifepoint like that. I assure you she's on our side. Unless… Is it a particular couple of things that is grabbing your attention?"
"Huh?" The earth mare's eyes, quickly go up and down the ample-teated zebra, and a bright blush appears on her face. "I-I don't know what you mean, but let's keep it professional, shall we?"
"There's no need to hide it." Knifepoint smirks. "I guess that's just the impact my body has on ponies, now."

"But we can talk business if that's what you want." You spare Wet Snout from receiving any more teasing… for a short while. "I'm a bard, and my songs can improve your body for a fight, or for other things." You glance at Knifepoint's bound mounds, making the ginger mare's eyes go wide again. "And what is your specialty exactly?"
"Oh, uhm, I'm a trainer for dogs." She starts, regaining some composure as she can change the subject. "Either to lend a hoof the guards or to just helping owners take better care of their pets. And when I feel like I and my boy can help, I pick up some quest for some extra coins."

"Mh." You nod, looking at the mare's pet. "What is his specialty? Your companion looks like a valiant one."
"Of course. His name is Robert. He's a sweetheart!" Wet Snout says, pride in her voice. "He's strong and smart. He can swim very well, and even carry ponies out of the water if they're drowning. He's also good enough with his nose to follow a trail."
"He sure looks well-trained." You smile at the dog who's been patiently waiting along her mistress so far. "I'm sure he's even got some heroic feats under his collar."
"Of course. Robert has saved several lives already." Wet Snout pats the black fluffy mass next to her. "Like one night, a drunken pegasus just feel straight into the water from the sky. Robert leaped off his enclosure from hearing the splash and brought him back to the shore, all by himself."

"He sounds like a proper hero alright." You nod. "I also happen to have a trained animal companion. Somebody else is taking care of her right now, but a crafty little rat named Hilda has been accompanying me in my recent adventures. She knows a whole lot of tricks. I'd even say she's practically a miniature rogue on her own."
"Ooh, sounds interesting." Wet Snout smiles. "I've heard you could train rats to perform lots of tours, but I've yet to see one of sure critters myself."
"She sure is a sight to behold. But also… would you happen to know about a way to talk with animals? Hilda's a very smart one, so I've been looking for a way to have some actual conversions with her."
"Mmmh… no, sorry." She shakes her head after pondering for a few seconds. "I don't know who could help you, but if you ask me, you don't need actual words to understand an animal. Just spend time with her and you'll figure out the way Hilda communicates."

>>42931699
"Yeah, of course…" You reply, knowing that Hilda is a very unusual case. You're not sure that admitting she's the result of a pony witch imprinting of her is a good idea, so you keep it at that with Wet Snout for now. And while you're still on your way to meet the client, you then go chat with Knifepoint a little.

"Nice work on the bra by the way." You tell Knifepoint.
"Heh. If we're gonna run after some gal, I can't have them flop around too much. And even then, I'm not sure this is enough support for these boulders…"
The zebra mare cups one of her teats with a back hoof, and you hear the muffled sound of them slap against each other as she releases them, even with the tight fabric holding them.
"You did very good given the… ahem, huge task on your lap. You're more resourceful that I realized, Knifepoint." You nod. "Just like you knew how to make that blackjack yourself."
"Nah, that was nothing." The zebra mare shrugs it off, but you think you can sense a bit of pride in her voice as she does so. "We just made an improved stick. That's just the kind of things you learn to do when you live in a city by yourself. I don't think that's any more impressive than you restringing your own instrument. You would know how to do that, right?"
"Sure, of course I can." You nod. "Why are you asking?"
"I don’t know." She shows you a mischievous smile. "Because if a bit of hoofiwork is all it takes to amaze you…"

"So why don't you want to go to upper town?" You then ask Knifepoint, changing the subject. "Do you really think you'll stand out that much? And why do you call it the no-fun part of town? Have you been there before?"
"Nah, it's my first time in Port Sunrise, and I remained in the harbor so far." She says. "But I think I wouldn't be able to do much 'work' in the upper city, you see? I mean, look around. Everybody's busy around here, working hard, doing actual stuff loading ships and carts and stuff, so they won't have any time to take care of things like petty thieves and troublemakers. So we can just, you know, do stuff here. Like… surely, we won't have to, but if we end up having to rough up that Seafarer mare for the coins, most likely nopony will come after us for it. Upper city however? I think the toll exists to keep away the strangers and travelers to get there in the first place. I have a hunch the folks up there like it extra quiet. I think that's where all the big wigs of the city live too, and you can bet there's gonna be a whole lot of guards to arrest you for just looking at them weird. So unless I've got a lot of coins to spend or a big job in the works, I'd rather avoid the place."

>>42931705
Your little party eventually arrives at the pub which is owned by the client of this quest. He explains to you that the target drank here a couple of times and ran away after ordering a whole lot of glasses and bottles. He also gives you a description of the mare.
"I know she works at the docks." The owner says. "And even though she's an earth pony, she's a real escape artist. She knows all the little streets around the harbor and hides in the warehouses when she needs to. The other dockers won't denounce her to the guards of course."

>A: This Seafarer Blue gal has remained in this pub a while, so maybe you could use Robert's nose and track her scent down.
>DC 50

>B: If that mare hangs around the docks, perhaps you, as in, Knifepoint, could 'persuade' her colleagues to tell you where this bad payer hides.
>DC 38
>Knifepoint!
>Wet Snout!
>The dockers might like you less in the future…

>C: Buy a few bottles and improvise a little party around the docks. If your target is as thirsty it seems, she won't resist the call of free booze
>-30 coins
>DC 30

>>42931711
B, but I can't decide who to grow

>>42931711
B

>>42931711
C. Get Seafarer drunk, then soften her heart with some sappy music. The real payment is the escape artists we befriend along the way.

>>42931711
Heh Wet Snout likes what she see on Knifepoint bet she wants to feel some of that magic on her so she can have those milky teats too her pink nervous blushing is a dead giveaway. But since we're low on mana we'll have to use our magic on her next time when we chose to go on another quest not sure how many days she'll have to wait, but she gets her chance someday.

Hmm we're catching a drunker basically so using Robert to catch her sense is what we should do but the rolling is too high can't risk failing an easy quest like that, as for the second option intimidation would get those dockers workers to start talking immediately if they don't want to get hurt, yet it may bring trouble for us and our friends if we do, lastly hosting a party down at the docks is a safer idea no pony will hate us and it will lure the target out of hiding in a false sense of security since she likes to drink she has an addiction to liquor and want it as her fix.

C is the best idea to go for we'll lose 30 coins but we'll get that back as our payment for the job being done anyway plus 50 xp time for the stallion to get a level up.

alright so to get into this I need to read up on all the previous lore, and then I need to know the stuff that I can do. After that I can say what will happen in the story right?
this is my first time trying this...

>>42932281
Yes. But the current adventure is more or less self-contained, so I think you may get away with only reading this thread and leaving the rest for later if you want to.

>>42931711
>C: Buy a few bottles and improvise a little party around the docks. If your target is as thirsty it seems, she won't resist the call of free booze

>>42931711
C
>>42932281
Pretty much. Although, one thing to keep in mind is that things are restricted to letter choice options only during the quests themselves (though we can vote to grow mares for a bonus to our rolls with certain options). Otherwise? We pretty much have free reign to vote on what to say or do during our off time.

Let's catch ourselves the earth pony Seafarer blue she won't get away from us time for her to pay her debt to our client.

>>42933442
You make it to the harbor with your drinks, and there you start to play with your instrument. As some of the dock workers approach and inquire about your presence, you tell them this bard would like to the hear the stories of seasoned sailors for inspiration, and that you'd gladly offer a glass or two to keep their throats well-hydrated.
You soon gather a little crowd of boatponies this way, recounting tales about storms, pirates and sirens while enjoying drinks as they sit on barrels in a makeshift pub of sorts. Knifepoint and Wet Snout remain a little further away at this point, but you do not have to wait for long before a mare fitting the description of Seafarer Blue approaches. You let her get her glasses, as you're happy to share the buzz of alcohol with everypony.

After you pretend that it's time for you to go and that the crowd dissipates, you join Knifepoint and Wet Snout who are tailing Seafarer Blue who seems obvious to your presence so far, the booze probably helping with that.
Once you get a good occasion, Knifepoint comes out of a warehouse right as your target passes in front of it. She snatches the comparatively lightweight earth mare before she can react, and a few seconds later throws her down in an alley by the water where nopony will come to disturb you.

"Woah, *urg* what's the big idea, guys?" The mare tries not to sound scared, but with Knifepoint looming over her after throwing her around like she was made of straw, the mare is obviously very scared of you. "Do I know you? What is this about?"
"It's about your drinking habits, pipsqueak." Knifepoint replies. "I mean, your habit of not paying for what you order, specifically. We have a debt to collect from you. So please be nice and pay up, or else…"
"W-wait! Hold on!" The mare nervously stutters, as the big zebra mare closes in. "Do I look like I have that much money? I would have paid if I could, I swear. But I barely have anything more than the clothes on my back."
"You have a job." Wet Snout states. "If you don't have enough coins now, we'll bring you to the guards, and we can schedule a share of your salary to go pay your debt over time."
"Aw, but…" The mare desperately looks around for a way to escape, but you're covering the only issues right now. "Listen. Is this really so important you all have to gang up on me? I think I know which guy hired you, and he overcharges for his drinks and he's loaded with coins, while I'm just a poor working mare who likes to blow off some steam after a long day of toil. Won't you have mercy on a lone mare in need? Look, I… know a couple ponies, like… they're quite important folks around here, and sometimes they work with adventurers. I'm sure that bar owner is paying you pennies to come after me, while I could help you get jobs where you can make some real money. I'll introduce you to them tonight if you let me go, so… pretty please?"

>A: Bring the lass to the guards as Wet Snout suggested. The law knows how to take care of debt settlement.

>>42933970
A

>>42933970
I'm leaning to C. But if we pick it, how Blue is planning to deal with the next group the merchant hires? She seems to rely on running away too much for somebody who was so easy to catch. Ask Knifepoint how long does she think Blue will stay alive and unmutilated if we let her go. If Blue is as improvident as it seems, A may be the merciful choice.

>>42933970
A or B, though B is preferred. Coins now is much better than hoping we recover them through the law, and if she really does know some important ponies than they'll have their ways to get her away from the law.

>>42933970
Yep that confirms it she not just an escape artist but also a swindler. If she does have contacts no doubt they're shady ponies. A part of me wants to pick B so Knifepoint has permission to make it hurt on Blue, but I think it will be better if she gets thrown into a jail ceil, so she can suffer in a small confined space for a while and think about what she done.

Going for A let Seafarer know that money isn't always everything and she can't bargain her way out of trouble all the time she needs to be held accountable for her actions and knows what it means to be responsible otherwise she could end up in a situation that might end getting herself killed.

Bump.

>>42933970
B. Also, I'd like to point out that she should probably avoid overpriced taverns if she were truly coinless. On a sidenote, if she insists on continuing to drink and dash in the town she lives in, she'll eventually end up with no ways to drink at all and doom herself to a life of soberness.

You're gonna bring this mare to justice like she deserves, which is probably much nicer to her that having Knifepoint squeeze the coins out of her.

"Nah, you're gonna have to answer to the guards." You state, which earns you an approving nod from Wet Snout.

Keeping the blue mare on a short leash, you do the walk towards the barracks. Wet Snout seems to be acquiesced with some of the pony-at-arms here as you arrive, and you're welcomed decently enough as you explain the situation. The authorities ask you to go fetch the owner of the bar to proceed, and within an hour you've got a confession out of Seafarer Blue, and a contract between her and the bar owner for the settlement of the debt that'll be presented directly to the mare's current employer.

Once you're done with this administrative adventure, the client of the quest comes out satisfied of the guard post, and gives you your reward.

>You completed the quest!
>You gained 50 xp and 30 coins!
>You recovered 1 mana (you have 2/5)

>You have enough experience to reach the next level. You'll do so the next time you go to sleep, and you'll recover all your mana at this moment.

With this adventure over, it's about the middle of the day. And if you're up for it, you could go on another quest before the day ends.

Here are the available quests.

Angry big fish
>Client: local pearl harvester
>Since a few days ago, there's one very big fish around my clam plantation. I believe it made the place its home, and it makes it impossible to dive and collect the shells. It's not a shark, more like some kind of grouper, but this one is about three times my size and charged me when I got in the water. It then even tried to topple my boat until I went far away from the plantation. I need adventures to get rid of this fish, one way or another.
>Reward: 70 xp, 70 coins
>You'd be attempting this quest along 2 other adventurers: Swift Diver the Queenfisher, and Figuremane the Fighter of the Waves
>Expected challenge: medium

Rat problem
>Client: Aggravated Merchant
>I woke up last night just in time to see a rat steal my heirloom locket. I tried to catch it, but it jumped through the sewer grate in the street before I could. Of course guards don’t want to chase after rats, so adventurers will have to do, for a reward of course. Get down in the sewers and find my locket!
>Reward: 50 xp, 90 coins
>You'd be attempting this quest along 2 other adventurers: Ichorice the Plagued, and Lead Slinger the Pest Remover
>Expected challenge: medium

Here be pirates!
>Client: Captain Longbeard
>Last time I arrived in Port Sunrise, I had an encounter with the Redmane pirates. My boat narrowly escaped theirs, but I heard Redmane herself swear that she'd pillage the next ship I'd sail on. I believe this is no bluff, and also that this is a chance to put a stop to this damned crew's career. I'm taking all the help I can muster to beat off these ruffians, so adventurers of all kinds are welcome.
>Reward: 300 xp, 150 coins
>You'd be attempting this quest along 2 other adventurers: Lazulite the Mage Knight, and Matchsticks the Artificer
>Expected challenge: hard

Hah serve that mare right her reckless past actions is coming back to bite her in the flanks now. Even though letter A didn't say Wet Snout affection for us will go up, but from what the text just said it obvious she approves of it and like us more. Okay what to do now umm Brass, Chara, and Hilda will be here tomorrow, but I doubt they'll show up in the morning since they'll need several or a few hours to get to the upper city Port Sunrise so hearty will come across them in the afternoon within the city as he's pondering what to do next or at night time in the upper city tavern there once the day is over therefore, he should head to the upper city when next day morning comes he'll still have a chance to do his shopping for his friends to surprise them when they arrive.

That angry big fish hmm quite a shock a sea bass mare since she three times the normal size bet she has a lot of body mass strength and fat weight okay this one we mostly likely may have to use our mana but we can't we need to saved all our leftovers to give to Knifepoint tonight small chances of us winning the rolling without growing anypony. As for the pirates quest we need at least 5, 6, or 7 manas if we're going to have any shot of accomplishing that.

Taking the Rat problem job is a sure fire away to finish another quest without using any mana and we'll earn a lot of money. Maybe we can use the food around here to distract the rat attention to the heirloom and snatched it from its claws grasp while its having a meal, use something to scared it away, or just fighting it to the death with our party members.

Ask Wet Snout if she's a local or just knows the area, judging from how she's seems acquainted with the guards. (Going with the latter considering it's not the first time we saw her name.) Ask her if she knows any areas in the lower city where one can relax or have fun, besides a bar. Might just take the rest of the time off and hangout/date with Knifepoint somewhere to get to know her better before leveling up once the next day is reached.

Also, buy and send a letter to Brass that we're staying at the inn where we're at with Knifepoint so we don't miss each other tomorrow. Not a fan of going to the uppercity if that requires leaving Knifepoint behind. Reassure Brass that'll we'll be fine as well since we ran across a familiar face on the way.

Rat problem

As a reminder, if the chosen course of action is to go on a quest, you can ask mares you know to accompany you in a quest and replace any ONE other adventurer partaking in the quest.
Knifepoint, Wet Snout and Dippy Hooves appreciate you enough to accept to join

Unsure if this is an option, considering my initial vote, but replace Lead Slinger with Knifepoint IF we do take the Rat Problem quest. Still think it's better to relax and wait for Hilda to arrive tomorrow to help us in it, rather than blindly hope for the best without her, but would rather take some big help with us to better our chances if the vote to take this quest wins.

>>42936485
Go for the rat problem quest. What better way to catch a rat than a pickpocket rogue replace Lead slinger with Knifepoint.

A pony based magick system? For going beyond tulpas?

>>42937929
Pretty cool never heard of it wonder if there's a game or fanfiction story about it?!

>>42938038
Its part of the tulpamancy pony scene.
So in sex-magick type stuff then when you share an orgasm with someone it is the equivalent to electrons charging in atoms and because the the microcosm and microcosm, and by quantum entanglement, you become a bonded pair with everyone you have ever had sex with. In MLP they make it child friendly where the quantum entanglement is friendship. So every friend you have every made is part of your magickal charge.

BTW, its not like a made thing, its more like a thing I am making up right now. I was inspired by ChrisChan saying that he learned real magick from MLP. I decided to check the show out because I knew a little about sex magick, inner alchemy, cabala, ritual magick, chaos magick (mostly sigils), and I'm working on forming a tulpa (but its my first tulpa and I dont want a pinky pie incident so I am using the Hiker sprite from pokemon as my tulpa prototype). I was really impressed by the world alchemy right from the start when they talked about creating the cosmos out of the sun and moon. If you dont know, ChrisChan is not completely mad.

You think about sending some mail to Brass Compass since you're staying in lower city for now. However, she's scheduled to arrive the day after tomorrow, so you can still put that on hold for now. You could still change your mind before that and go to upper city tomorrow, also. You could even send the letter the day Brass Compass arrives, and tell her here you are at this moment.

"Say, I didn't ask so far, but are you from Port Sunrise?" You ask Wet Snout for now. "It seemed like you already knew the guards."
"I live here actually, yes." She nods. "Like I said, I have a job in training and taking care of dogs, but I also do some quests from time to time, and it isn't rare I end up having the guards involved in some way during those."

"Oh. Well, it's my first time in the city actually." You say. "Can you tell me about some places to relax, or to have some fun in lower Port Sunrise? Aside from the pubs I mean. There sure is plenty of those around, and even if they're nice, I'd like to know what else the city has to offer."
"Aside from pubs, you say…?" The mare ponders a little. "Well, there's a casino in lower Port Sunrise if that's your thing, the Pirate's Bounty. But I'd say that's about it for that part of the city. Ponies mostly enjoy going to a bar or cabaret at the end of a day of work around here. However, there are lots of beautiful spots for a picnic out of town, may in be on top of the cliffs over the ocean, or simply on the beach. I personally love going on long walks with Robert or with other dogs I take care of. Oh! You can buy a kite if you want to try flying one. Again, you'll have to walk away from town, but it's really fun, and there's enough wind for it most days. Now, if you're looking for more sophisticated stuff, you'll have no choice but to go to upper city. They have a concert room, an opera, libraries and shops with much more varied wares there."

After thanking Wet Snout for the tips, you part ways with her for now. After a short lunch break, you decide to go for one more quest for today with Knifepoint. You take up the Rat Problem quest, and meet up with the other adventurer who signed up for it.

"You're here for the job about going into the sewers?" The green mare says as a greeting when you approach, her voice raspy and monotonous.
"Yes, hello. My name is Whispering Heart…" You reply, but already, the unicorn's eyes turned to your larger companion.
"Is that from a potion?" She asks.
"Nope, that would just be the result of my magic on my friend Knifepoint." You inform her.
"Mmh. I see." She just utters, sounding slightly disappointed. "My name is Ichorice. Ready to go?"
