Moonplot Art! Crunchi and Grindstone

This is a masterwork engraving of Crunchi the Macepony, engraved in the autumn of 2011 by Thattagen. Crunchi is striking an intimidating pose.

Hey. Have you read the Moonplot Journal yet? Cause this art is based on it.

Among the ponies of Moonplot, Crunchi is arguably the best warrior. This is not due to training or skill, though. She is the best through sheer force of will. She is always the first into battle, and always strikes without hesitation. She will often land dozens of hits before her companions even land one.

The ponies started calling her Crunchi after she chased an attacking giantess around a nearby cave, bashing it all the while with her wooden mace. While the hits were ineffective, they distracted the giantess so her companions could bring it down. Afterwards, she upgraded to an iron mace, and has gotten several kills.

Another day, she got bitten on the rear by a giant capybara, leaving her with a jagged scar. Immediately afterwards, she went after every capybara on the mountain, without even going back to heal.

This is an engraving of Grindstone the Mason, engraved in the autumn of 2011 by Brokenhero. Grindstone is lamenting.

And here we have Grindstone, an ordinary mason pony. That is, he was until a minotaur burst into the dining hall, wreaking havoc on anypony still left inside. Once it stepped back outside, he cornered it with a few other ponies and bashed its face in with a well-placed buck. But two of his friends died in the attack, and he went into a tantrum shortly afterwards. The victims were a horse (not a pony) and a door.

Unfortunately, Grindstone is no longer with us. Once Moonplot became a barony, the Baron ordered the captain of the guard to punish all outstanding criminals. The captain swung his iron crossbow a little too hard, and broke poor Grindstone. May he rest in peace.

The captain of the guard was removed from his post shortly after.
