Going to push this forward. If anyone wants to stop at anytime to talk to eachother or an npc go ahead.
The porcs don't stop you from leaving as you make your way back out of the Porc's lair. Luckily the spider is still out cold from earlier. As you all make your way back, you all reach the area where the porc chops are. They all silently stare at the unconscious Higgs as you all pass.
As you make it back to where you fought the 1st batch of porcs and met the strange wall-eyed pony, the sun is starting to set. Carrot Heart points to the the north. "I live up that away."
Not long after continuing north, the wreck of a one pony cart comes into view. A large flock of birds flies away as you all approach the wreckage. The Cart has the insignia 'E.T.C.' painted on the side. There are obvious signs of a struggle along with broken glass, jelly, and discarded fruits and veggies all around the wreckage.

Bump.
Lark looks around, uneasy with the silence. "Um-um-um--so do we want to look into this?--maybe we should turn back--or maybe we shouldn't. Why would we turn back, what I meant to say was that we might want to investigate, but I'm not sure we have time, unless we do, but if we don't, we should just keep going, but maybe we could use the carriage to get back quicker, unless that's a stupid idea."

"Let's fix it real quick."

She uses magic box to make the tools for someone to use to fix the cart.

"Of course, let's take a few of these things just in case the ETC ponies want to look them over then let's get her home." Night starts loading a few of the more intact peices into the wagon but leaves plenty of room for the ponies wwho will riding in the back.

"As my mother used to say to such. Questions 'thank you for volunteering,' of course I'll take my turn first." Night fully well agrees with her father that you should avoid asking others to do for you what you wouldn't do yourself.

Lark blinks. "Oh. Well, see, I'm not very strong. I was thinking somepony else could handle it. Like, um, Shep, or Doc, or, um, hm. Well, see--okay, I guess."
Looking irritated, Lark hops out and straps herself into the wagon. "I can do it," she mutters. "Can't be said Lark's lazy. Hey, there's some alliteration. Look, I don't care. Pull the wagon, get back. Then it's their turn. Maybe it'll come before. Unicorns making somepony else--not that I have a problem with unicorns. Just that I wasn't going to pull it until..."
She continues talking to herself as she waits for everypony to board the vehicle.

Carrot Heart hops into the wagon, however Shep and Doc do not, Pulling the wagon isn't too bad with such a light amount of weight inside of it.
Before long, the group reaches Enchanted Achres. A red earth pony is tilling the fields as you arrive. Carrot Heart hops out of the wagon and charges him. "Basil!" She says as she hugs him.
"Oh thank goodness. When nopony showed up, I feared that no one would help us out," Basil replies hugging her back. "Thank you all for saving her..." He says as he looks at all of you. But then he sees what is missing from her head. "Wait... What happened to your horn?! What did those porcs do to you?!" She says in shock.
Carrot lowers her head in silence, with an ashamed look on her face.

"The porcs used this land to forage since they can't farm, but when we moved in they didn't have enough space to forage for enough food anymore, that's why they became raiders. They alsoo have a friend mushroom that can make magic items from salamander horns, they captured her to see if unicorn horns can also be used, but before finding out both the mushroom and her horn were stolen. We will go get them back once we summon the mayor for a peace and trade summit with the porcs."

"See, when we say it, it just sounds silly," Lark mutters. She starts unhitching herself from the wagon.
