I thank you all for your efforts thus far. All of you have exceeded expectations by leaps and bounds. So far, we have gathered this information. There is a room in the castle that houses some strange crystals. We are not sure what the crystals mean, or what they do, but the empty pedestals that lie in that chamber suggest that there are 5 more crystals to be found. Whether they are important to our cause or not, they are our only lead, so the search for them should take a priority.
Luckily, in the library we have found a book, coated in a powerful magic, which seems to have had some interaction with the crystals. With some decoding, we have discovered yet another reference to the crystals, this time as part of an old tale. While the book itself is still shrouded in mystery, upon arriving in the castle, further information has been revealed, naming a few general locations.
While we cannot afford to send all of our ponies out on what may be a wild goose chase, again this is not something that we can ignore. You may remember that the Crystal Empire itself was little more than a bedtime story not a month ago. Because of this, several of the volunteers here have been chosen to strike out to the places revealed by this book and investigate the area for any further clues towards the origin or purpose of these crystal shards.
Those of you chosen, we will meet in the room to the right to discuss the structure of the parties venturing to each location tomorrow morning. The rest of you, please continue with the jobs you were preforming before. I cannot thank you all enough for what you have done so far, and what you continue to do. Lodging has been arranged for all of you for the night. Please, eat and rest well. Tomorrow, we continue. Do not lose hope, my ponies, my griffons. We have made untold progress already. Before long, King Sombra will be stopped. Good night, to all of you.
OOC:
By "choosing" participants, I mean of course all player characters. Foals will be handled separately, of course. While the signups are going, I'll post up a couple of wind-down, free form threads which will take place at several different inns in the town. These aren't mandatory and won't have any story injection, but I thought it would be a neat way to get to meet some other ponies, if anyone's interested. I don't think there's much to be said here from other characters, but round II will be starting soon, and shortly afterwards the threads will be posted with some more information!
