Penn said nothing as Mist Haze went over the details of the expedition, and remained silent even though she asked if anypony had any questions. As long as there wasn't something as dangerous as a dragon, or zombies roaming around, or even dragon zombies, he believed that everything would be fine. After all, what were the odds that something that crazy would happen at a graveyard? A graveyard for DRAGONS, no less!

Next to zero, that's what!

He smiled, thoughts of Buck Aldrin fighting off hordes of space zombies with his trusty blaster spell filling his head, spurring him on to write down little snippets of dialogue of the scene, and half-flanked doodles off in the corner of the parchment he was holding, oblivious to those around him as inspiration struck.

Chronius felt a bit of disappointment. One thing he had trouble resisting was taking souvenirs. Still if anything could dissuade him from that, it was the risk of earning the ire of the Dragon Queen. It was no secret she didn't exactly care for his kind. Best to try and stay under the radar for the rest of the trip, and keep a close eye on his foals as well. He doubted they would find any trouble, but that thought always seemed to come before things went badly.


Brimstone sat noting the important points, but not really caring. He was just waiting for when he could get back to exploring the ship, or better yet when they got to the actual grave yard! He was sure that he could control himself enough to avoid touching anything. Well touching anything important anyway.

Mist nodded as the changeling's answer to the diamond dog question, "yes, if there was any reason to worry we would know by now" she said with a reassuring smile. She glanced around the room until the unicorn stallion spoke, "I didn't ask Ishie's reasons for the restrictions but I'd assume it is because she wants the remains of her people to be respected" she explained with a weave of her hoof.

Mist paused for a moment before answering the second question, "hmmm, well the one thing that all the historians seem to agree on is that, aside from some basic plant life, nothing lives on the island so I doubt there is any danger of attack. That being side the buildings and structures on the island have been left unattended to for several decades, possibly even centuries or more so be careful" Mist explained.

Mist paused to see if anymore questions where forthcoming, "alright everypony, we'll be arriving soon so please get your things ready and we'll meet on the deck when we make landfall" she said before trotting off to prepare.

((*Puts on his GMing hat, which, btw, is a very snazzy top hat* Good day Ladies and Gents, my name is Queshire. Originally I was just supposed to be co-gming to Icefox, but he has to step out to enjoy the beauties of the real world, thus I will be taking his place while he is away. Also, if you would be so kind as to close the thread after this post Az?))

Mist got as far as raising a hoof to the door when. with a loud cracking sound, gravity decided to try going in a different direction for a while. No, wait, it wasn’t gravity, it was the room that almost ninety degrees as a massive wave hits the ship broadside sending all those assembled careening into one of the walls of the hold.

Jack would have broken half his ribs right then and there as a wayward barrel falls on him, had he not shifted all his bones away the moment before it hit. Even then though, he was left with a large, and decidedly circular bruise on his side.

With less ferocity than the first tilt, but just as much disorientation, the ship crowns the wave and slides down it’s back. This results in the ship listing as far to the opposite side as it did the first, once more sending ponies sliding into the walls, though they were the opposite walls this time to match the list.

More waves kept coming after that first one, along with sounds of howling wind, lightning, and rain. Unlike the first wave though, these did not almost capsize the ship, merely send it rocking back and forth, to and fro, as if it was a theme park ride from hell. Further complicating matters, the waves send the lanterns, thankfully of magic make so no risk of fire, to a-shaking, giving the shadows in the half-light of the dark hold a maniacal, dancing quality to them.

To the pegasi who control weather, to the unicorn who weave the very fabric of the reality, to even the comparatively blind Earth Pony, it is quite clear that there is a very angry, and very hungry, presence to this sudden storm.

Dartbreak had darted forward to catch Mist Haze when the ship had tilted the first time, and taken to the air the second time, flapping his wings as hard and fast as he could to keep them from slamming into the walls.

He was surprised at first when he'd picked her up, but then remembered that of course she would be light; Emerald was a bit taller, and had more muscle packed onto her frame. Shaking the thoughts of Emerald from his mind, he kept a hold on Mist Haze, trying to make sense of the situation and take stock of everyone's condition.

"Hey, is everypony alright?! Give a shout if you're okay!"

Moon double checked her charts and looked at the roiling carper beneath her. If her calculations where correct this would be the final approach to her destination. Running out quickly she extended the lightning rods and the storm catchers. Without anything to ground it lightning strikes shouldn't do much damage, and with luck she could bleed off some of the ferocity of the to charge her ships great engines. Sadly she could do little to mitigate the damage of the winds other than get below cloud level and rely on her experience, both as a Pegasus and a airship captain, to see her through.

She too a long moment to check everything was properly secured, and her special cargo was safely in her saddle bag, before angling her ship downward and beginning her descent toward the Dragon's Graveyard.

Mist Haze blinked as she tried to make sense of the situation, one moment she was going heading to the door to leave when suddenly she was in some ponies forelegs...wait that's right the ship suddenly started listing, "I'm ok I think" she said in answer to the other pegasus' question.

Mist took a moment to get her bearings before getting out of the other pony's grip and taking to the air herself, "nopony panic just stay calm and those that can fly help those that can't to get to the exit" she said before gesturing to the Pegasus flying next to her to flow her in assisting the others.

Hex Mark

Nodding as he understood the potential reasoning behind the 'no souvenirs' policy, Swift Research began to think of how he would be able to study the island in an effective manner. He wasn't yet adept enough to make a pseudo map with magic, nor could he touch anything. If he had brought a notepad, it would have been alot simpler.

Hex Mark thought about all that would go on- he was anxious to see this island, but he was now nervous at the unknown factors. However, as soon as he began to think about that, the ship suddenly tilted, throwing just about everypony off balance, sending both Hex Mark and Swift Research hurtling to the walls. For the first tilt, Hex had taken the full brunt of the impact, with Swift landing on top of him.

"My apologies, I did not mean to use you as a cushion." the unicorn apologized, and the earth stallion winced. "Don't worry..I've had worse." he replied, only for the ship to tilt in the opposite direction, causing both to slide on the floor to the other wall. Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap! Hex Mark thought as he scrambled to try to slow down the descent, only for a barrel to smash him in the back of the head, dazing him as he was slumped against the wall due to the second tilt.

Swift, on the other hand, began to use his horn to grab his fan, waving it as a sliding crate began to glow and move, allowing the unicorn to break his fall. "This out to make things less complicated.." he spoke aloud, swinging his fan again, this time catching the larger and more dangerous objects and suspending them with telekinesis. As Dartbreaker asked if they were alright, Swift nodded. "I am unharmed, which is more than I can say for the white one." he replied, looking over at Hex Mark, who was trying to get himself back up, only to fall once again as the combination of the ship rocking and the daze he was in prevented any effective means of balance.

"I will do what I can to keep these objects from causing any further damage." Swift stated, using the suspended crate he was on as a hoof-hold to maintain focus and control over the objects he had grabbed. He hadn't gotten all of them, but at least he prevented the heavier ones from crushing anypony.

((ooc: Just thought I'd have him show off his magic for once. Not intending to god mod or anything)

Jess was right about to lean back in her seat when the wave hit the ship. She was flung into an open closet and jumbled around in there as the ship rocked back and forth. When the rocking of the ship at least sort of slowed down, Jess punched the closet door open and stumbled out. She heard a pegasus calling for everyone who was okay to let him know.

"I'm okay!" shouted Jess. She was still very dizzy from being all mixed around in the closet. "Aw, man...everything's even spinnier than that time I tried mushrooms...Ahahaha!" She laughed like the stoner she was. She looked down at one of her front paws. It had been cut by a splinter, and it was bleeding a little.

"Well would you look at that!" She chuckled. She ripped off a piece of her jacket and wrapped it around the paw. The dizziness had faded away, and she began to sniff around to see if she could locate any ponies that had been injured or buried under the objects thrown around by the waves.

"I'm okay... I think." said a very disoriented Penn, who tumbled out of a nearby closet. Unable to stop the thrashing about his stomach had been doing throughout the kerfuffle, he did what anypony might do in that situation; he voided the contents of his stomach out of the nearest porthole.

When the deed was done, Penn wiped his mouth with a hoofkerchief he kept on his person at all times, and put it back in his vest pocket when he was done. "Urrrrrgh... Blegh. Now I'm okay."

Before anypony could inquire further on his state of health, he tottered to the door leading up to the deck, eager to get a breath of fresh air.

==GM POST==

And indeed, Penn got a very good breath of air, as the ship struck a barely submerged rock and cracked like an egg. Everyone was washed out to sea, the lucky ones managing to cling to whatever random flotsam they could as the storm took them away.

==Later==

After the storm had passed, most of the ponies from the ship were washed up on the beach of the island, unconscious. A few were missing, specifically Twisted's two foals, but the rest were all scattered over a quarter mile or so of beach, as the fog rolled over and covered them in mist once again.

"no no no no no NO NO NO!" Chronius shouted flinging debris every which way. His foals were gone. GONE! This couldn't be happening. He had already lost his closest freind, and until recently his wife. now he had lost his children to? This couldn't be happening. It was impossible. He continued tossing things into the air as he shouted their names, oblivious to whether anypony around him, or even where he was. He knew that he needed to calm himself, but just couldn't seem to manage it. Not when his foals could be... no. He couldn't even think about it. They were out there, somewhere in this accursed mist.

Mist Haze coughed out a glob of water from her throat and slowly got to her hooves as she tried to make sense of what had happened. She was vaguely aware or shouting coming from...somewhere, but she was still too disorientated to determine where it was coming from, "what happened?" she asked as she tried to get her bearings. As she staggered around waiting for her vision to clear her snout impacted with something large and wooden, "wha?" she breathed as she looked up to see a galleon bigger than most buildings sitting on the beech next in front of her.

Mist Haze stared up at the great ship unable to see the top for the thick fog, "well at least we are in the right place" she mused with a sigh, remembering the documents about Tumulus referring to fleets of massive rotten ships beached along the west shore. With that small comfort in the dire situation reassuring her enough to venture forward Mist resolved to follow the sound of shouting, reasoning that it had to be one of her companions from the boat as nothing else was suppose to live on the island.

After a moment of trotting in the general direction of the shouts Mist spotted Chronius in the distance, "oh no" she whispered to herself when she realised he was calling out names, presumably someponies he knew that hadn't made it...that we haven't found yet Mist corrected herself before trotting toward the kirin, "Chronius are you alright? What happened?" she asked once she was in ear shot.

Twisted Visions

Twisted Quickly got up and looked around. "Neapolitan?" She called out until she say Chronius looking around frantically "Neapolitan! Brimstone!" She screamed. Her kids were lost on this island where anything could happen. They could be lost somewhere scared or worse... She pushed thoughts like that out of the way until she saw the ship. She stared at it wide eyed and fell on her haunches in a state of shock. "My children..." She whispered.

Dartbreak had managed to right himself(if barely) before hitting the ground, and upon regaining his bearings, took off to search for the others.

Flying low, he streaked across the beach and eventually found Twisted Vision, sitting and staring as if in shock at the ship. Looking at the state of the ship and taking into account her mumbles, he shook his head and landed next to her.

Gently patting her cheek, he spoke gently.

"Hey. Hey! Listen to me, your children are fine. Just give us a day to find them; we'll definitely find them. I'm certain they're safe, just hold yourself together- you can't help anyone if you fall apart, you know?" he said, before starting to flap his wings, slipping his forelegs under Twisted Vision's and lifting her.

"You look for them; I'll carry you. We'll find them faster this way. Just remember, keep yourself together and just remind yourself: They're fine. Okay?"
