Season 1
Season 1, episode #001: Medical Emergency
Season 1, episode #001.5: Medical Emergency - Aftermath

So much happened in so little time, and so our survivors will have to come to terms with they saw and move forward. Sadly, they can't count on any princesses to help them through their new reality. They can only count on each other.

So, we can start here on the forums the first entry of our Survival Journal. It's not as cheery as the Mane 6's, but it will have to do. Post your character's thoughts on the events of the last session. If everypony does, I can give you a Friendship Point. It works exactly like a Fate Point, but it's shared and anyone can use it, so you can save it for desperate times where everypony spent theirs.

On another note, we now start to need the recovery houserules. It takes one point of Supplies to recover from all Physical and Mental Stress. After that, you can roll to recover consequences by spending further Supplies. The greater the box, the bigger the bonus you get to remove them.
Mental Consequences are healed by 4dFudge+Rapport+Supplies+(any aspect).
Physical Consequences are a bit harder to deal with and you have to roll only 4dFudge+Supplies+(any aspect).
Remember you can only remove Mild Consequences once per scene (situation in a location), Moderate once per session and Severe once per scenario/season (series of quests)
On that note, I'm considering to allow Investigate to figure out illnesses and health hazards.

Since you didn't quite pack fully for the end of the world, you are going to start with half of your Supply boxes, rounded down. It means any snacks or random supplies you might have packed. But the first time you manage to get to your homes, it will be filled without the need for any rolls.

Fuck me.

In hindsight, I'm glad I decided to chase after those students. Probably none of 'em have ever seen violence before, let alone... whatever that was.

By the sound of things, the whole building's been filled with these freaks outta nowhere. They ain't all unicorns, so what the hay? Whatever the case, I'm glad I got a few whacks off on 'em. Hopefully we can figure out where they're comin' from and I can take 'em down how I like.

The students're gonna make things difficult, though. Ain't no way they can properly defend themselves from a full-grown pony with a mind to kill. Ugh... One thing's for sure, though: I see one-a those glassy-eyed sons of mules lay a feather on the foals, there ain't gonna be enough left of 'em to make glue.



OOC: I spent my one measly supply point to heal up the physical stress. Do supply boxes count like stress boxes; that is, 1 = 1 point, 2 = 2 points, etc?

This sounds like a lot of fun, and I've always wanted to try a game based on the Fate system. Too bad I'm usually working at this gametime. :/

... For some reason, I can't get what Raven said on the train out of my mind. "The cold night will be no gift to her?" What does that even mean? Does Raven... know something? Of course not. That's ridiculous. She was just as scared as we were... er, are, rather.

Speaking of which, what is going on? All those ponies acting strangely at the hospital. They almost bit that poor nurse to death. For all I know, they did bite her to death...

No, I mustn't think of such things. Everypony needs to stay calm. Otherwise, we may break down like Miss Star Spotter. I'm feeling very sorry for that whole trip fiasco now. I'll make a more formal apology as soon as things have calmed down.

And I'm glad that strange mare Backlash came with us. Swift Hurdle's certainly athletic, but that mare seems very capable. Hopefully she'll help keep us safe...

What's going on? What's happpening?! Ponies have... died. No, been murdered. That's worse. Has the world gone mad? Stuff like this just doesn't happen...

... I just want my deck now. To lose myself in the music, to melt into the beat... If only.

Yup, for purposes of adding up the consequence healing bonus. But for stress, it's all healed no matter which box you use.

One more thing, you get a Minor Milestone.

It allows you to either swap two skills around in the pyramid or replace one +1 skill with another you don't have or replace a Stunt or replace an Aspect.

Do we have to use it? I feel like it's too early to do anything with mine...

Not really but I'll allow it when you feel there's something you might need to adjust.

My students are okay... I don't know what anything was around that hospital, some mare looked like she got really hurt, a nurse. I just don't know exactly what to do, but I need to get the kids home, that place couldn't have been safe. I'm not too sure what to do with Rosebee, but I can try and find some antibiotics or some stomach medicine on the way towards her home, it's the least I could do for her parents.
