Occupied Equestria - Into the Unknown

Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.

The long train ride to Bales is over, with Brie, Onyx, and Spark reaching their destination a little bruised but not dead or arrested. Before them lies a new and unfamiliar city and world, at the crossroads of Equestria's past and present, and also the Changeling Occupied Zone and East Equestria. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares to set out on a mission to track down and arrest unfaithful and unreliable local law enforcement that have been leaking information to rebel forces. Silver may finally have a new toy he can use to clear the Catacombs of their undead presence. Iron, meanwhile, has drifted further into an temple in his search for a treasure sough by an archaeological expedition that was ambushed by bandits.

At the last moment, he can hear clopping on stone. The presence moves back slightly as Iron faces it. In the darkness, a yellow and orange colored pony can be made out, and when she speaks, her identity is confirmed

He sighs. At least the risk to life and limb is currently very slim. Hmm...well, I suppose I could go see those colts our group rescued, while I wait. I wonder if they are doing alright...everything considered. With that decided, he puts into his cart any of his supplies that might scare the foals, before trotting his way to the orphanage.

"Oh..." She moves closer to Cauldron, and mumbles to herself
"I thought you asked if I accepted bits from stallions..."

Cauldron has already pulled put some herbs, and struggles with a lighter to try to light them. In her bag, there are a few class containers, though it's hard to say which one is a potion

>>102156
So you want to put off the final assault on the catacombs?

Let's try to follow the healer's footsteps then
Slightly confused at Pear's mumbling, he shrugs it off as he tries to assist Cauldron in her current action by trying to light the lighter himself.
"Pear, order the containers in a neat, easy to reach row. We are doing some healing."

You can certainly tell that most of the ponies in this setting expect ulterior motives in everything.

He's concerned about the little ones after what they had to go through. "Спасибо. They are not too tired, yes? I can not imagine having to relive that horrible experience, even for police, can be easy on them."

Because getting shot is hardly unforeseeable, a pair of Magill forceps can be found deep in Cauldron's bag

Well, I figured that if Silver had been a hired gun sent from the Mafia or whoever to kill or kidnap the two little ponies so they couldn't testify at trial, then the nun would be thought of stupid for not at least investigating this possibility
But now that you mention it, I guess it does make the setting seem darker

Nice looking forceps, actually.
Iron returns with the forceps equipped, looking down in the wound, aiming the medical tool.
"Here it comes. Try not to move when I extract the metal off of you."
With that, he starts the probably hurtful process of getting a bullet removed from her body.

He certainly looks old, if a little younger than his actual age. The bandages still wrapped around his neck look like they either need to be removed or changed. Bits of his super floof poke out of his olive drab fatigues and make him look a bit like a teddy bear wearing an outfit. Despite all this, he still looks big and strong, very fit for a pony of his age.

As for what he is doing now, he speaks once again to the two foals. "Would you two like to do something? Play game, hear story? Maybe take trot around town?"
