> We wouldn't be proper adventurers if we didn't check the latest rumors. Let's search the crowds for Tattle Tail. Moonflower can search from the air while we search from the ground and ask passersby. […]

Wisdom: You roll an 18 (required 10). Success!

As your party makes its way back to the town square, you find it relatively quiet. The performers have since gone on break, returning the air to the hustle and bustle for the hour, with birdsongs and distant laughter as accompaniment.

Among the passers-by, you catch sight of a familiar cap-wearing filly once again, this time enjoying a paper cone of cotton candy. You decide to approach the youngster, and offer her a friendly greeting.

Tattle Tail: "Ahoy, heroes!"

Tattle Tail gives you her usual smug grin, ever making it seem as though she knows something you don't — which, in all likeliness, is the case. Still, out of curiosity, you figure to ask her about it.

Tattle Tail: "Yeah, I've heard a thing or two. Something about a magic ring you've been playing around with."

You playfully remark that a filly her age shouldn't be inquiring about such stories.

Tattle Tail: "Oh, I'm not interested in what you're doing with it. But you're using it, and that's been drawing attention to yourself."

You ask Tattle Tail what she means by that.

Tattle Tail: "You don't know? Rumor goes that you're flaunting an ancient relic with a powerful unknown enchantment on it. Your little toy might be priceless to you, but it's still worth thousands of bits to the right buyer."

Moonflower: "Whoa! That's a lotta bits!"

You admit that you were not aware of the ring's value.

Tattle Tail: "If I were you, I'd get rid of it as soon as I could; the more ponies learn about it, the more phoneys will, too. And you don't seem like the Upper Canterlot type, so I suggest you avoid that kind of trouble while you still know who your friends are."

You thank Tattle Tail for the advice, and say that you'll keep that in mind. Then, while you're here, you ask her if she's heard about any other rumors recently.

Tattle Tail: "Why? Getting bored of the festival already?"

You shake your head, and assure her that you only mean to stay in the know as an adventurer.

Tattle Tail: "An adventurer, huh? Well, I haven't found anything for you to help with just yet; from the sound of it, you've already taken care of most of the problems around here. But I did hear something that might interest you.

The way it's being told, royal funds have been granted to three of the major Canterlot guilds — the College of Equestrian History, the Equestrian Exploration Society, and the Fellowship of Guardians. Word is they're working on an undisclosed collaborative project, maybe even a new sister guild.

What's more, construction started this morning in Ponyville for a new building, and it's looking like it's gonna be some kind of small hotel… or a guild hall, if you ask me, since they've already got an inn."
