"Tanks." Greeda thanks Doc and chew on the posters.

"They had a lot of iron in the junk yard. How do you get iron? I have never seen you eating cans and stuff like that. It's a wonder you dont get weaker. Mama always taught to eat enough iron to strenghen my blood." She scold Doc a bit and get nostalgic for a bit.

"Sure.'  She agrees.

With Greeda on his side, ponies clearing the way. Here and there she knock away barrels and random stuff.

But mostly ponies are talking about the CIRCUSE!

The small fortress which is Granny's home is still there, and even more fortified.

Now it also has a flag of the monster hunters- a vague shape of a horned monster (goat?) with a / crossing it.

Few ponies- most of them middle aged are packing a military truck. All of them looks veterans- scarred, armed but it mostly their eyes.

The truck also has machine gun.

The truck also has the flag.

They arent like the mob from outside the town-

they dont try to antagonize Greeda, but they give careful looks, getting more tense.

They arent looking to pick a fight right now, but they seems mentally prepared.

Greeda glare at them, they glare back.

Granny Sandy gets out of the house carrying crates of ammo.

She wave to Doc and Greeda

"Ah. Good timing. We were about to take a break. Care for a coffee?"

Greeda did earlier tried to understand the complexity of characters like Granny Sandy- but the idea of sitting for a coffee with ponies who are preparing to massacare her brother and her people was.. quite a lot.

She looked helplessly at Doc.

Also for when Doc gave the posters away I have forgotte to post this meme for Greeda.

Ah.

I am not trying to judge if it is a good organization or not, just the rational behind it's existence.

It mostly inspired by the system of Withchers actually.

Minus the cool super powers.

To move on asserivly and to look dangerouse- most denizens wouldnt want to deal with dangerouse people, now of all times.

The mare gallop away.

Greeda looka disspaointed.

"Yeah. It was very touching and all. But what about the snacks you have promised me?!"

What Aurora should roll to sneak as a squirrel and chew away the ropes?

Nemesis working on turning them into an army.

The original idea was that even ponies who disagree with each other can put their diffrences aside and save a town from a monster.

Now I need to draw genderbend Deepwood and see how bad it goes.

Deepwood roll in air to dodge the shotgun.

"With such a terrible aim, a better bet for you, would be to surrender."

Deepwood mock her as he prepare another shot at her with the rifle, he looks horrified at the remains of the ganger and with amaze at Zee.

He was really hanging above his league.

And he releae a shot at Inca.

Electric Rifle

ZzZzzzZap

Wait. Can Deepwood bite people too?

The young propaganda mare pause for a long minute.

"....I'll try." she say hestiangly.

"I will try to do the right thing." she take the posters back.

"My mentor isnt a bad pony.. I am sure he will eventually see reason just as I did."

Not unlikely at all-

The Monster Hunters dont have actually have a codified idealogy-

It is basicly a social network/guild of ponies who fight to protect ponies from monsters.

Two conditions to join:

To be a pony.

To be willing to protect ponies from monsters.

Which is very vague ofc.

So, it can Granny Sandy- who has a personal hatred and vendeta against the Stymphilian Company.

It can be a doctor who protect ponies from.. diseases

It can be a rightouse Sheriff who protect her community.

Monster Hunters shouldnt fight each other, and supposed to support each other- but beyond thay they are very diverse.

Nemesis is just VERY charismatic, driven and extremist, raised by Day Breaker hersrelf

Slithers

The cat doctor and his fellow refuges looks at Slithers with hatred.

Rikitikitavi looks uncomfortable with this.

"Are you woodlanders always so crude and rude to each other?' she asks.

Sandukan looks tired but he nods.

The chaos is keep raging in the clearing.

Does Slither has a plan how to avoid it?

If not.. roll with luck

Ripley&Hoop&Brixie

Almosded shake his head.

"We are exprienced mostly at violence, and care very little for those who are too weak to go on."

he reply.

"The printery was the center of the Marquisate power. Surely they have something valuable to loot." Almosded reply

The young mare- who might not even be 20, lower her head.

"...I agree.' she say and look a bit shaken.

"But what morales I can teach? My savior and mentor is a Monster Hunter. Not as extremist as Nemesis, but.. still. His moralss are what I know- To care about ponies, even the jerk pegasi and the snobbish unicorns... everypony else are enemies...

and even if I somehow had something else to say- the equipment belongs to him, and he the one who fund me. Nopony exactly would throw cups at me for those posters... I understand that I was wrong and you correct, I just dont know what to do about it."

The Ghoul Template:

*Your Charisma is lowered by 2.

*Immune to radiation damage. You can heal injuries in the presence of radiation, like regeneration. Some ghouls have shown their regeneration properties by holding a severed limb to their body and the radiation "stitches it back together
Mechanicly-
At lower Radiation- 1 HP for every 3 rounds.
At medium Radiation 1 HP for every 2 rounds
At high Radiation 1 HP for every round.
At extreme raduation 1d4 Hp for every round.
This ability cant undo death.
(Maybe the opposite to non ghoul people?)

*You dont need to eat and drink to survive

*Pick two skill proficencies or two proficency tools, or improve a single skill proficeny to expertise.

I think I have seen it eons ago.

This is a really good speech which would have an impact!

She is a bit stubborn so DC 14, but you have an advantage

The punk looking young mare, now looks younger and scared.

"Well, I uh.." she deflates from her self rightouse attitude.

"...I.. look. Monster Hunters have saved my life. Ok? And they support my passion for desifn and printing. Do you know how difficult it is to be a graphic desinger at the Wasteland?! It is basicly a dead art! What I am meant to do?!"

I was also thinking that due their long life exprience, maybe bonus skill proficneies and/or tool profiencies.

Or maybe even simply to represent it with Int?

He has been around and knows stuff.

Or expertise in history

This is the real dark backstory of modern Deepwood.

Miltonian?

Clover looks curiouse.

"Are they common? They sound VERY mutated. I am surprised our elders havent invited them to Mutantmania."

Gazer comment.

"This bug pone is a wimp. I dont like him."

Clover River shake her head.

"Gazer! To me he seemed like a very nice pony. This kind of ponies are the rarest kind."

Gazer reply with an eyeroll.

Clover River nod.

"Thank you. I wish there were any way to repay you.'and give a small bow.

Everypony's jaws fall to the floor and they gawk with awe.

Gazer jump up and down

"THIS

WAS

AWESOME!!!"

Greeda has grinned with pride

"Wow. No matter what kind of pony you are, you are always the best!"

The poster mare is the first to overcome the shock that turns to rage.

She gallop at Doc

"Excuse you, you pigeon bag! You have any idea how much work I had to do, to collect quality copies, design them, print them and to stick them?! I knew pegasi are jerks, but you are out of line mister! Hoof them back!'

The young mare demands

Greeda take a step toward the young mare.

"Or what?" she ask hovering over her.

The propagindst pant, and look scared but seemed to have a resolve.

"I will take it to the Sheriff! You have no right to steal MY work! And-"

she point at Greeda.

"I am a member of the Monster Hunters. Hurt me physically, and herd of them will skin your hide into boots!"

Alrighty.

Tnx.

I think Lost would be a ranger.

And Anteni umm

Maybe just a regular NPC.

Cant think of a class for him honestly.

MAYYBE rogue?

I WANT to watch it.

But even Telegram has failed me.

I see.

Umm.

So beside not needing to eat, drink and breath there are no benefits?

If to translate it into a template.

Another idea, I had, is for them to have Wisdom saves against going feral under specific conditions.

"I think I"ll set a meeting for you with Risorius- among the field agents he is among the richest in Social Credit- which means, he is influteal among the hive." Anteni gets up.

"Me and Losty will find you in a hour or two. Ok?"

And with that he and Lost Hope depart.

Clover comment.

This bug pony is more mutated then any other mutant from my clan. What are changlings?"

It seemed the Mutantmania are a VERY closed off society

Lost Hope shurg.

"Mate should do. It's all about the tone- mate can mean a lover, hater, or a friend or anything in between- so it can mean what ever you want it to mean."

~~~~~

Anteni seems to struggle to explain.

"You have convinced ME. But the Honey Hive would tell you, that we have managed so far or something. It's rational may seems.. alien to you. Honestly, sometimes it feels alien to me- and I am part of it. I will try... to explain..but mind you, even this conversation would cost me social credit- The Honey Hive is quite isolatanist- as... they want the minimal outside influence while maximizing it's influence over the world. It's like..."

He try to explain.

"Between every changling of the hive there is a connection.. like a string.. and all the strings together, create.. a web. And the web has it's own sentience. The royalty and clergy has the deepest understanding and influence over this.. "web". And this is in monstrously simplified words the entity of the hive. It does do deals with outsiders all the times- but it never easy."

Ah. I see.

I think that Warcraft where undead are a playable race gave me certain expectations about undeads in general.

But Fallout's ghouls are just sick people.

Yeah?

The glowing ghoul sound intresting and could be used for this adventure.

Sadly, no- It isnt on Netflix nor Dinsey+ and my pirating skills are limited.

Umm. Maybe to treat it more like a "condition" rather then a race?
