Occupied Equestria: Day 5

The Adventure continues

Six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.

The Eastside Tavern Gang has broken through the house and pool-house of the politician Comte Burgher. What they found has been nothing short of astonishing. Deeds for properties bought by secret societies, seditious communications, cryptic booklets, concerning academic interests, and above all else, a sex dungeon with two young colts chained up, and traumatized. With these, they found something else: two caged and chained up adolescent Changeling drones. So doing what any logically minded group of people would do when encountering caged life-force vampires, they let the things suck on them, then took them home and hugged them and loved them and squeezed them and called them 'George.'

Dark Star is coming to terms with loss in the Stallion's room of the Eastside tavern, while Iron aids him. Silver dreams of an Equestria that is no more and his long lost family (while sleeping in a fairly awkward position). Ash awaits a new dawn of service, Onyx a new life of possible employment, while Brie and Spark stay in a small room with two strange guests

Iron is a bit confused. "Alright then. I suppose it is a show of endurance. I think my brother does that too, if I recall correctly." He shrugs. "As long as you do not faint like yesterday, I am fine with it. Now, let us focus on talking to Marey and the filly." He looks at the abbey's entrance.

She ate a mango at day 2 and has not eaten since. That proves Ash's claim

The spell translates the script and reveals any hidden magic.
It lasts 10 minutes per level (50 mins), and allows her to read 250 words per minute.

Well, it works for regular text too.
Sister Ash is reading it for the sake of determining it's origins, and checking for any curses that might be unleashed if she destroys it.

Well, most importantly, is this a text that could be used to invoke any sort of supernatural effect? It should be good enough to tell that, if she studies it for a few minutes.

Portions of it translate, which seem to be incantations

"Per Boreas, Marr, Arcturius, Disord, Ukko, Pellegro, the pythonic word, the mystery of the salamander, the assembly of sylphs, the grotto of gnomes, the demons of the tartarus, of Tirek, Katrina, Grogar, Beezen, the Smooze, and Lavan Come, Come, Come!"

Portions of it are dense in Black Language, presumably what Abby was speaking two night ago, some of it are in some foreign language that is not so alien as to not be off the planet, and some of it is in Ponish.

I'm slightly interested in Sylphs though..

"Ich wagte mich von der Kolonie weg und in der Nähe des Hafens. Ich war neugierig. Jemand, von dem ich dachte, er sei eine Drohne in Ponyform, fragte mich, ob ich ein Motorboot sehen wollte und wie es funktionierte. Er sagte mir, ich solle ein paar Papiere unterschreiben, damit mich sein Besitzer zuerst in der Nähe des Bootes ließe. Also tat ich es und ging zum Boot. Aber als ich an Bord des Bootes kletterte, packten sie mich in einen Sack. Sie banden mich in Seilen. Ich konnte mich nicht ändern, um rauszukommen. Sie brachten mich mit meinem Bruder zu einem Schiff und brachten mich hierher."

Sister Ash doesn't seem to take any offense at the comment.
She watches the fire consume the book, watching closely, as if making sure it doesn't get away.
