It seems I have walked into a good story in the making...

Please ignore me, and continue what you were doing...

I'll be watching this one. Good job sir or madam.:moustache:
.

Got us a future Big Boss up in here.
Cqc and sneaking, all we need is a crossbow/firearm scene.

Cutie mark revealed. I wonder what they'll look like?

And how did Steel Wing know to come to that place? Events seem to be taking place in a very 'particular' fashion.

I am quite intrigued. Definitely following this one.

Thank you all for the support! I really appreciate the feedback.

(And to address Armguard's question about Stout Hoof's aptitude for being in the "right place at the right time," keep an eye out for chapter 4. I think it might help explain a few things.)

Getup ya pansy!
Tis only a flesh wound!
/Sarcasm
What is the most advanced firearm in this world?
Crossbows?
Ballista?
He needs to shoot 1 and become big boss.
Nice chapter btw!

very sad at the end almost brought me to tears.:fluttercry:

Will we have more of this world?
It seems to be a marvelous creation.
I wouldn't mind learning more of its history and events.
(More plox)

A great story, sir, especially with regards to the worldbuilding. Also, I must say that in reading this final chapter, I feel like your writing has gotten substantially better in terms of flow, coherence, and interaction between the characters. Even compared to the last chapter - where I felt that your technique was fairly good already - this seemed to be marked improvement, so excellent work on that account! :yay:

Hope to see more of this setting, with Stout Hoof or somepony else, though personally I'm hoping to see him return. :twilightsmile:

Thanks for the comments everyone, so glad to hear you all enjoyed it! (And happy to hear my works have been improving!) I've been playing around with the idea of building a "feudal age Equestria" for a while now, and I'm actually pretty pleased with how my first pass turned out. Stablesworth was an interesting location to develop and explore, and I have quite a few ideas as to how it could fit into the larger scope of "Old Equestria."

That being said, it may be a little while before I can post more of Stout Hoof's adventures. (I've been working on a Fallout Equestria piece for a while now that needs some love and attention.) Keep your eyes peeled though, I don't think this will be my last story in this particular world.

Very good read. The end brought tears to my eyes :pinkiesad2:
