"Mmmm. There are hippogryph citizens in Equestria now, children of griffon/pony marriages. Not common, mind you, but not rare; certainly a large portion of them come from Manehattan." Gryilldae trotted toward the exit. "I understand you were at war with the griffon kingdoms prior to your imprisonment, so I will not take any action against you for past assaults on that people. I merely thought you should be forewarned that such sentiments would be quite unkindly received in the modern era. Do try not to harm the changelings either," he added, "the situation with them is far more complicated then negotiations with the griffons ever were but there is technically peace."

((Hmm.... since no-one’s really leading this shin-dig, I suppose it’d be fine if I moved us along then?))

“Yes, yes, I know all that,” Noblesse says chuckling at Obsidian’s explanation, “Even though I’m on leave, I AM still a captain myself you know. Ah, though on that note, while I’m still a captain, your commission would have expired centuries ago, so you currently are not. I’ll accept your word all the same though,”

Laughing good naturedly Noblesse proceeds down the his randomly chosen hallway only to stop short with a twinge of his Intuition.

“Hello! What do we have here?” He says scanning around the hallway, eventually he narrows down the source of his twinge to a narrow, almost invisible seam in the wall, “Ah, do you feel that? Moving air. If it’s anything like the tunnels under Canterlot, then I bet there’s a secret passageway here. Now, let’s see, I hope the opening mechanism still works,”

He tries to press in a certain stone, but nothing happens. Frowning a bit, he turns around and STRONG bucks the stone. Given that extra nudge the stone depresses and with a rumble of ancient stone gears and pulleys a section of the wall descends revealing a dark, cobweb infested passageway. "Well then, shall we?"

((Oh, also, I have no plan for the secret passageway, feel free to decide for yourself where it goes, my suggestion though? Loot.))

"One moment" Moon held up a wing to halt the party while retrieving a water skein from her saddle back. Unscrewing the lid she poured some water on to the floor and lowered her head to watch how the water flowed along the tiles. Moon stroked her chin and flicked a marble down the corridor. As it hit a cobweb a mighty bladed pendulum swung out from it's hidden alcove and back again, a loud click demonstrating the trap had clearly reset itself.

"Elegant and deadly. Pegasus work." Moon could already tell from the layout that the majority appeared to be of earth pony construction, but she saw no reason to tell the truth. With a flick of her wing she cut through several of the cobwebs, triggering a wide array of traps.

"Stick close, there's still some pressure plates on the floor, so step where I step." she paused for a moment. "You know this trapped corridor isn't much of a hindrance so far. If it kills me it's fine quality Pegasus workmareship." And with that moon began to walk very deliberately down the corridor, making it clear to those following her where they should step.

Icefox

Icefox grinned; ancient traps were what he did. He glided through the air above the pressure plates, glancing around and watching for anything else that they could set off. Three arrow traps and what looked like a potential cave-in later, he glanced back and started pointing the various triggers out.

"So, avoid all of those, that, and don't touch that statue. Other than that, you should get through without dying too much. C'mon, if there are this many traps we'll probably find something good down here."

"Perhaps..." mused Obsidian. He hadn't had the opportunity to explore the city's catacombs before, so this was a unique opportunity for him. He heeded both Moon Chaser and Icefox's advice, and kept close to the pegasus mare.

A sort of... skittering noise caught his attention, causing him to look down at a rather large rat.

"No..."

He could swear the rat had the most devious look ever for a rodent on its tiny face.

"No no no..."

His eyes widened as the rat walked over to a pressure plate trigger, his irises shrinking to pinpricks as he watched the vermin hover a paw over the stone.

"NONONONO--"

-KLUNK-

Gryilldae did not flinch as the rat pressed down the pressure plate. All it proved to him was that there was more then one kind of fae that knew how to change form.

"Out of idle curiosity, what was the exact reasoning behind putting traps down here?" He turned to Obsidian. "I seriously doubt Princess Celestia would have approved of such lethal devices in her own city." His ears flicked. "Hmm.... Something in the walls has opened... probably leading to at tunnel. I wonder what's supposed to come at us now?"

What was coming at them was apparently.... pudding? Well at least it looked like pudding, all dark and black and oozing out of slots high up near the ceiling running down the length of the hallway. To put it melodramatically, it looked as if the wall was bleeding drops of tar.

“Ah, would you look at that! The stasis gel works even after all these years!” Nob says jauntily skipping around the marked traps and the dripping gel, “You know, this stuff was originally based off some of the stuff Changelings produce, but of course it was only recently that they could be properly credited. It’s actually a pretty elegant trap in it’s simplicity, if you get covered by the gel you get put into stasis until a proper authority can come free you, but otherwise completely safe, nothing to worry about.”

Of course, fate can’t pass up a line like that, so immediately after Noblesse says “nothing to worry about” a big fat glob of the stuff plops down on the accursed rat, however instead of stopping time for the vermin, it speeds it up. Soon it is nothing but bleached white bones floating in the middle of the pudding.

“Hm, I guess it went bad. Well then, nevermind, down the hall everypony, poste haste.”

".....You need to have your records checked. We never made Stasis gel." Gryilldae tilted his head. "That was invented after research into an unrelated species of fae."

Then he remembered that Obsidian had not known he was a changeling previously.

"...as I have revealed myself..." Gryilldae shimmered into his natural form.

"Frankly I don't care who made it, so long as nopony touches it. But if they trapped this corridor it has to be good." Moon paused momentarily, "Unless the good stuff was back that way" Moon hitched her hoof behind her. "And Syd here is okay, but... hmmm. Hey Syd, you're a unicorn right? Could you throw up a shield around us with some of that voodoo that you do?"

Moon studied the corridor with an appraising eye "Yes, I think this is the right way. I think the door at the end is another trap and the exit is near that patch of masonry there. See it, the stone works slightly lighter. If you can deflect the stasis fluid 'till we get there Lesse should be able to knock it down with one strong buck."

Icefox shrugged and pulled out his blasting rod. "Or we could do it my way. Fuego!" He shot an intense lance of fire into the side of the door, burning the wood off the hinges without sending anything crashing into the room beyond and potentially setting off even more traps. He shoved the door in, before motioning for everyone to follow him.

"Get in! You guys, earth ponies, grab this rock and start pulling, it should block out the gel. I kinda doubt a wooden door will stop it, so go, now!"
