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

Iron shakes his head.
"They fell back for now."
He motions Pear over as he rummages through Cauldron's saddlebags for the potion.
"Do you have any experience with taking out metal bits from ponies?"

Iron motions her again, urging her to come closer and see the wound.
"She has been wounded by metal. Come closer."
With that, he keeps trying to find that potion.
If there is one.

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.

Where is Dark Star

>>102155
"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?
I have been wanting to show those other characters again though, I just though Dark Star would get to them first

For just a bit, while the pump does its work. By the time he returns, I imagine he'll be prepared to finish this job once and for all.

Just how it happens, I suppose.

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."
(Hopefully the process is not too complicated)

For a brief moment, Pear seems indignat. It fades fast, and Pear complies without comment, ordering the containers

Cauldron seems more than a little uneasy
"Hoof me an empty one"

He nods at the pony (presumably a nun) who speaks to him. "You likely have not. I have only been here once before.

"Listen...there are couple of foals here who were rescued from...unspeakably horrific conditions. I was part of group that rescued them. I was hoping I could check up on them, see how they are doing."

Then she turns her head back up
"Well, perhaps. They are out of class now. The police came by, and spoke with them earlier. They are in the back"

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

>>102168
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

She looks down
"Well... no. They are awake. It's getting them to go and stay asleep that is the hard part"

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.
Rolling heal which is a d20 without modifiers.

I'll just reroll that. You can keep the part where Cauldron gets hurt by this roll.
Iron, sweating nervously after moving the forceps way too slugish, focuses on the tool and tries again.

Tentatively, Silver steps inside the room. "I wanted to see how you two were holding up, maybe spend some time with you, if you wanted." After a second of thinking, he pulls out the last two milk chocolate candy bars from his saddlebags. "Oh, and I suppose these are for you."

The bullet is pulled out. Pear responds by touching a handkerchief with some sort of green paste on it over the wound
"What about your wounds?" Pear asks

This gets eyes focused on the bars. For a moment, a brief moment, there is silence. Like the silence awaiting the town clock to strike noon in an Old West duel. Then, the aqua pony jumps up, as well as the white one. Each comes and takes a milk chocolate bar

He casually sets down the metal piece taken out of Cauldron.
"I will need some tending after we get out of here, but for now we should advance if possible."
