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.

Okay, let’s try this again
Who is here?
>>102781Hmmm....
Before proceeding, what is Iron trying to do at present?
>>102782Get the pots is the reason that both him and Cauldron are going back into the temple.
That's the current goal.
Silver was raising the hopes of the foals to incredible heights... just to drop them, and let them smash upon the rocks
I need to write some dialogue for Iron, which will need to wait a few minutes
>>102787REEEEEEEE, I DON'T WANT TO ROLL ANY MORE ONES!
[1d20+3 = 23][1d20+4 = 5]>>102789Alright, I'll roll your strength and balance for you, to see how easy it is.
I think +4 is strength and +3 is balance, correct me if I'm wrong.
>>102790What an amazing coincidence.
>>102790Well, for Silver it's 2 for strength and 4 for balance, but yeah, that's about how these rolls have been going.
>>102788Are you though?
>>102789Perhaps it’s for the best. Their little hearts can’t take anymore
>>102790Top Fucking Kek!
>>102793Sheesh, at this rate, those poor colts will never get a proper ride.
A damn shame.
>>102793He looks sadly at the little ponies. "I am sorry, little ones. But, I will still give you two ponyback ride. It is just that one of you will have to wait until when we are ready to head back to orphanage."
[1d2 = 1]>>102796Must. Resist. Urge. To. Roll.Ignore this particular roll.
>>102796>>102797Silver looks between the two colts. "White Orchid, you had
lot of ice cream just now. Perhaps you should go first, give it chance to settle."
>>102800Mint Marine silently understands. He’s too quiet, too unusual....
White Orchid, however, is elated, and quickly clops his hooves together. “Yay!”
He gets on Silver’s back. He is the larger, and probably the older of the two colts
>>102801AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, FUCK YOU, HEART! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME!?*shattering noise*
Silver mutters a "Черт." under his breath as he keeps laying down. "I can not do this to you. Even if it kills me, I will try to take both of you at once."
>>102802The two little ponies look to Silver, holding their breath
[1d20+4 = 5][1d20+2 = 7]>>102802We're gonna be here forever.
>>102804Most likely.
It should give some time for GM to divert focus to the dialog.
>>102804With Silver’s first new attempt, and first trip and fall, the little ponies gain a glimpse into what it means to be here forever
[1d20+4 = 11][1d20+2 = 8]>>102805>>102806Definitely. Better grab a big bag of popcorn, this is gonna be a
while.
REEEE I lost my dialogue the thing refreshed!>>102807Well, he doesn’t trip this time. He balances, but isn’t quite there on the strength
>>102809Did he.... did he finally do it?
>>10281215 seemed to be your DC, so I would say so. Silver has finally triumphantly stood up with the two colts on his back, and without shaking them like a milkshake this time.
>>102813Heyo! Nice work, old horse! You picked those colts up and made them ride you!
>>102813And this, after being shaken off, or potentially even crushed something like three times, the little ponies now sit with some stability on Silver’s back
>>102815And even if he personally has gained some new bruises because of it, Silver is happy that he finally managed to carry both colts. "Alright, welcome to Silver Sword Express! First stop: zoo! Choo choo!" And thus, Silver makes way to the zoo by fishing his map out of his damaged bags and plotting a route from it.
>>102817...Well...I mean, he's a unicorn. He's got the magic telekinesis powers.
>>102816Battered and bruised, Silver stands triumphant
“Yay!”
“Yay!”
>>102818Phew. Good you're keeping track of that and not rolling.
>>102819Still got some of that strength. He smiles to himself over his achievement. Hopefully, his winter floof, even when contained a bit by his clothing, makes for a comfortable ride for those two.
>>102821The Zoo is also located on the West side, towards the South
>>102822Then that is where Silver heads happily. He looks at the buildings in this part of town on the way to get a feeling for this area.
Hmmm... Not sure if I can make myself compose the detailed responses tonight
>>102828Hello! Didn't think you'd be on this early.
>>102829It’s the Silver pony! When Dark Star comes back, I am going to have to ask you and him a question
>>102828Woowee, look at ya!
>>102831>>102832>>102833Take this chance to delete your posts and merge them into one to have more post space.
>>102835Is that who I think it is?
>>102836>>102835I wonder if he has that ear floof.
>>102838THE FLOOFY EARED ONE LIVES
>>102839Yeah, I'll be available for at least a few hours in the afternoon for the next two weeks
Maybe there was more, but last I recall Brie was at an arms store, getting a creeped out vibe from the shopkeeper
>>102841>>102841He was asked by a shopkeeper to come to the back of the store
Also, If you’d like to skip this or any other part, Brie can do most tasks with Skill roles >>102842"May I ask why you keep armor in the back of the store?"
>>102843He looks past Brie, then to Brie
“Keep armor? We do not sell any such regulated goods here”
>>102845Armor may not be illegal, but it’s purchasers are recorded. Of course he does not have any armor in plain sight
>>102849"Very well, I'll see what you have in the back. Lead the way."
Brie checks his short sword, in case he should need it.
finally back>>102850He looks at Brie for a moment longer, then past Brie, then back at Brie.
“If you will follow me.”
He goes towards a door in the back, and opens it. What are visible are a number of items and cardboard boxes. There are mechanical clocks, lamps, a radio. There’s ittle tin piggy bank of a green unicorn with a black metal cauldron, and if you place a coin in its hoof, it will move over and place the coin in the pot.
“Here is some of our inventory”
Then he closes the door. With a flash of magic, a box is moved up, revealing little steel plates
“What are your needs?”
[Read more] >>102853"Apologies, I wasn't aware armor was regulated in this area. I regret that I'm not buying, I'm actually selling."
>>102854He raises an eyebrow
“We can do that as well. What do you have?”
>>102857Your character is full of holes.
>>102858No u!
>>102859You’d better surrender that love
>>102861Can't really contest that with the amount of metal in Iron currently.
Iron confirmed changeling [1d20 = 8]>>102864>>102863You think that's bad? Wait until you see this!
>>102855Sorry for the delay"A pair of carbines, a shotgun, and about 20 rounds for the rifles."
>>102868“Oh really?”
He places his hoof to his chin
“That’s all bit different from armor, but we can take it all the same. May I see it?”
>>102869Brie nixes the disguise on the case carrying the rifles and places them on a(?) nearby counter.
>>102870A table
“Hmmm.... I can offer you 450”
>>102871Brie blinks twice, then nods. "That's fair. We have a deal then?"
>>102867Oh no, my love, naoooooo…
Also, lewd.>>102869EaW updated. They added focus trees and events for Sicameon, Asterion, Cyanolisia, and Gryphus. Makes me think Zebrica is coming
very soon.
>>102872He offers a hoof
>>102873Oh now you want to post it
>>102874Brie bumps hoofs with the pony.
>>102875And he passes over 450 in bank notes to Brie (unless he demands coin). Brie may now buy something else, ask questions, or proceed to elsewhere
>>102877"Thank you my good stallion."
No, Brie is entirely disinterested in buying more things for the moment. At this point he would return to the Lings and Spark, wherever they were doing cute changeling things at.
>>102878Some blocks back down is the hotel. In the main hotel room, Spark has delicately balanced petting the two ersatz foals
>>102874I have absolutely no clue what you mean.
>>102879"I hope I'm not interrupting" Brie says with a smirk.
>>102881The little ersatz foals have no idea what Brie just said, but they look up at him, cutely
>>102882"Spielen sie?" Brie says a bit more cutely than he intended at the Lings, then looking to Sparks to see if he seems,... eated.
