Ponyfinder, well that would take awhile. Cops. No clue. Not surprised in the slightest that they did something, a bit surprised by just how MANY showed up, whatever it was it's big.

Casey owns the place. And he was letting his cousin stay in the outer room. basically a patio a former owner walled off and turned into a sun room. Cops showed up looking for his girlfriend. Who t seems they were on edge and fighting and acting nervous all day before disappearing a few hours ago. Hopefully they know something is going down and ran for it, not to return.

Ponyfinder

here's the set up for the campaign

The main setting is the town of Windrun, it was just a small, almost overlooked, and unheard of little settlement on the edge of the Empire’s territory. Settled by a group of ponies that were fleeing a series of severe storms that destroyed their village. Being taken in by the Leatherwings (bat ponies) that lived in the caves nearby and forming a new town.

Shortly after the Queens death and the fighting to replace her broke out, an Alicorn named Morning Star arrived. Claiming to be the true chosen heir to The Queen, but unable to take over because nopony else would let him, being driven from the fighting, and seeking to start the empire anew, here. He quickly took over the town, building it up from a small village, to a major city and fortress.

At first, they welcomed him, and ponies flocked to his banner, seeking the strong stability it gave them, versus the chaos that the center of the Empire was devolving into, and the other fringe areas that were being attacked by threats the might of the Empire once kept in check

But, as he grew in power, it became clear, he did not have the best interests of other, or anypony but himself, in mind. He began expanding his power forcibly, at first cloaking it as simply trying to deal with potential threats before they attacked, of bringing order. But as he kept going, it became more and more clear, all he cared about was conquest, power. And when the ponies of Windrun began to rise up, to voice their concern, he started turning his might on them. Turing into a Tyrant, caring only about his own power and sating his own desires.

One day, four adventures came to the town, seeking to end his threat.

-Solaris, Pegasus Paladin of the Sun Queen.

-Selene, His twin sister. Chaos Hunter Inquisitor of The Moon Princess

-Crystalis, Gem Pony Wizard

-Allanon, Unicorn Magus

They were joined by two of the leaders of the ponies in town that were resisting him.

-Lacuna, Leatherwing Rogue, and leader of the dissidents

-The Matron, Her true name lost to history. An Oracle of Sheila, and a matron of the Seekers. Who helped Morning Star rise to power before finding out how evil he really was and seeking to fix her mistake.

And together, the six overthrew him. The magus seemingly lost in the battle, as there is no account of him afterwards, or what his actual fate was.

The five remaning, settling in the town, each one establishing one of what would become the great houses of the town, or some other orgnization that would play a role in the town. And depite how it began, Morning Star did give Windrun a great amount of power, made it strong. These five tempering the strength with kindness, compassion. Using it to defend, not attack, and insuring that the town would become one of the remaining strongholds of ponykind after the fall of the Empire.

Cue several centuries later. Things are starting to go bad. The once united houses letting their differences divide them. Fracturing. The current patriarch of House Crystalis, who should by tradition be the overall leader of the town, as that house has been the one holding politcal power since it’s inception, has refused that honor. For he’s also an alicorn. He doubts his ability to lead, fears being given power, fears being corrupted, becoming another Morning Star, so hides, avoids his responsibilities. Creating a power vacuum that is destabilizing the city.

And so, our party comes to the city. A city where much is hidden, where almost everypony has secrets, some of those may threaten the entire city, undo centuries of hard work. But, as The Matron would have said. Despite her chosen deity never directly manifesting, leaving her creations to their own task. She still watches over them, and sometimes, almsot as if destiny truly was at work, the right ponies will show up at the right place, at the right time.

Also, geez louise, sorry about the cops showing up. Hopefully everyone will be okay and you won't get arrested for anything yourself.

Meanwhile, apparently the card info for Cards Against Humanity is free to download online so I'm going to use it for writing prompts. The bad news is our printer is very very finicky so I can't actually use it. As a result I just spent over two hours writing the cards out by hand. My hand hurts...

Well campaign wise. The groups was approaching the city, got stopped by a pony running the other way, who told them about having just seen the end of a caravan getting attacked by bandits.

They checked, found ti wrecked, one of the guards alive still, but just barely. He told them that somepony, the son of their employer, was taken by the bandits, so the groups followed. Found their hide out, made it to the back door took out the guard.... and then the cops showed up.

If anyone is following Twitch, they did it! After over a day of battling with the Dread PC and accidently releasing 3 beloved longtime pokemon, they've finally managed to come away with their ideal team.

@Seraphem: I can't help but notice the gem wizard pony's name remind me of a NES game of the same name. Is it mere coincidence, or was that intended? (Also wonder what the rulebook you are using is out of curiosity, in case I should find an opportunity to not be bogged down in college.)

(Sorry everyone, but can't really respond to the Twitch stuff myself. Haven't followed up on it at all myself, so if anyone was to ask me about that, I'm afraid I can't provide anything.)
