Well this is encouraging, especially that some of them are conscious, and able to be reasoned with. Cheerilee defending her students and her school with a sharpened yard stick is kinda badass. All the scarring on the survivors is unexpected though... That seems to imply they got caught, but got away. Not really happened before... Or maybe Twi hurt them whilst getting them where they needed to be? It's been made clear she's not really looking like herself... They probably didn't just stroll alongside her to get where she needed them...

The wounds could also be self-inflicted or the result of ponies fighting each other. The investigator that slept during the day (I can't recall his name) cut himself up a bit before trying to commit suicide, and Applejack and one of the colts at the farm went nuts and attacked other ponies.

Also I remembered seeing Targe somewhere in the story before; turns out he was one of the guards holed up at Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack's journal doesn't specify whether he was taken at the farm or was part of the group that ran at the end along with Rainbow Dash, though. Given he came back conscious I hope he gets an interview or something so we can learn what happened to the others.

Pavé is back? I imagine a certain stallion is going to rush straight to her side.

[SIRasdf]

This is going a lot smoother than I expected it to, I am very suspicious/worried about what this entails

[CaptainSpaceCat]

Wow! We actually get some survivors! Their conditions are alarming though... especially Silver Spoon. I wonder if those who gave in spent their time tormenting those who did not, and perhaps caused the scarring/leg removal.

[Moosetasm]

I laughed at Cheerilee having to be disarmed of her pointy stick. And I cheered when team Lyra-Bon was recovered. No Vinyl though...

[2Merr]

Silver Spoon: unconscious, malnourished, missing a leg

Filthy Rich: conscious, not malnourished

Hmmm
