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.

Well... I better get back to the room soon then. But not before I head by a bakery. I think Spark could use something to eat once in a while.

I'm being silly, and you can't stop me!

Hi. Had some things to deal with in real life. Probably will be absent for longer periods of time and after about 10 PM ART, I won't be able to play, so weekdays are off or extremely shortened.
Felt very bad when I failed so hard at my uni exams so far, so I have to give more time to it. A lot more

Okay, you are two hours ahead of me then. I can deal with that on weekdays if I start immediately after work Or during the last, boring hour of work

"I wish I had a rifle... I could try"
Note that Iron can toss a rock out of line of sight, but that any kind of precise aiming, or adding any real force to the rock by means of bucking, requires standing in a more vulnerable position, at least when targeting the ponies

Iron looks at Cauldron, letting go of the rock on his cover.
"We still have the coat piercers rifles in your saddlebags, unless you have thrown them away somewhere."
Nice. Have fun there. Hopefully it's a good time.

So, here's an unrelated question while we wait for something else to happen: what horse/pony-related name would you use to name a class of frigate?
>>102118
Damnit, it didn't update properly.
Iron nods.
"Now that your weaponis optimal for the job, let us start a small distraction."
He extends his head ever so slowly to show off his big, poofy, wild hair while covering his head, pushing the aimed rock away without any clear target with the maximum strength possible from under cover to try and lure some fire to him while Cauldron prepares her shot.

Well, first, look to what you are modelling your Navy on. In World War 2, the Frigates of the Royal Canadian Navy were named after small islands, suburbs, rivers, and lakes. I can't exactly tell what the British Royal Navy used as its naming convention but it appearsa to be pretty much the same as the Canadian, with Frigates given the names of minor locations in England. The U.S. Navy did not have frigates per se, but did have destroyer escorts, which are basically the same thing. Their destroyer escorts tended to be named after minor naval officers, Medal of Honor/Navy Cross winners, and navy personnel killed in action including at the beginning of WW2 (they built ships fast). I personally like the U.S. naming convention the most, so let's go with that.
I would take the name of a navy-associated Medal of Honor recipient from before WW2 and ponify it. Consider Daniel Daly, a man who, in my opinion, is an ideal model of what an American Soldier should be. He served in China in the Boxer rebellion, when a large number of Boxer rebels attacked and nearly overwhelmed his position. He held on with a machine gun and fought off the attacking Boxers, possibly inflicting as many as 200 enemy casualties, an act for which he won the Medal of Honor. Some years later, he was serving on a U.S. mission in Haiti as his unit was trying to cross a river. His unit was attacked, scattered, and its one and only machine gun was lost in the river. He went back on his own, dived into the river, retrieved the machine gun, and I believe fought off a number of rebel soldiers before going back to his platoon, an act for which he earned the Medal of Honor. But it was Daniel Daly's actions in World War 1 that earned him immortally. He is most known for the Battle of Belleau Wood, where his unit was holed up in a trench under heavy enemy machine gun fire, refusing to advance. Then Daly stood up out of his trench, and yelled to his men, "Come on you sons a bitches! You want to live forever?" With Daly leading the charge, the unit went forth, and ultimately captured or destroyed multiple German machine gun positions. Daly insisted that he did not use the term "sons a bitches" but rather "men." The U.S. military considered giving Daly a Medal of Honor for acts of heroism in World War 1, but believed that no man should have three Medals of Honor.
So I would name the ship after Daniel Daly. As a ponified name... probably Daniel Hayleaf? Daniel Daisy? I don't know. There's something about the Daly story, and how naming a ship after it would honor it, strikes me as only really making sense in the American cultural context. If I wanted a more, British cultural attitude, I would name a ship something like Hayseeds.
Fun fact, the ship in Starship Troopers is a Transport-Frigate named Roger Young, after an American WW2 Medal of Honor winner in the Pacific. Starship Troopers also uses a variation of Daly's famous line, "Come on you dumb apes, you want to live forever?"

Alright then, it will be implied he read a newspaper. How long do you think that would have taken him?

Aw man. I wanted Cauldron to get off scot-free.
Iron, seeing how his partner got wounded by the stallion with the small gun, starts to fume up inside.
"That does it."
He drops all pretense of staying in cover, puts a rock in bucking range aimed at one of the special ponies, turns around and gives it a powerful kick right to that offender with the Panama hat. Yes, power hit +5

Cursing under his breath, he looks over Cauldron to ensure her overall wellbeing.
"Are you alright?"

For a moment, Cauldron looks as if she wants to yell "No I'm not alright!"
Instead, cauldron places a hoof near the area between the two shoulders under her neck
"I've been shot"

Woah. That sounds quite bad.
Iron quickly moves beside her, trying to see the wound for himself.
"Do you have those potions and if so, would they treat you of your piece of metal inside?"

"I think I have one container and some herbs, but no... The bullet remains until it is removed"
Cauldron looks a little pained, and turns herself over onto her back, with the bullet wound above her chest, but entering down into her barrel.
"I think that was their main attacking force..."
Something moves behind Iron
