Occupied Equestria - Into No Pony's Land
Anonymous
KnZni
?
No.103001
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

In the North, in Bales, Brie has just aquired a carriage with which he shall make the journey into the Changeling Occupied Zone, alongt with Spark and Onyx. In Baltimare, Dark Star recouperates from injuries sustained in a near fatal encounter with a Changeling opperative. Silver helps treat two traumatized orphans, and Iron examines ancient secrets in the Jungles

Before commiting to hiding the pots, he decides to listen a bit more closely to try and recognize the sound.
(It could be that the temple is falling due to those other two ponies, though I doubt it was made on purpose.)

Nodding to himself, he simply unlatches the pots and places them on the floor
(Seems I will need to speed up)
During this process, he scans the area for any chokepoints to ambush these menacing hoofsteps.
(If they are Pear and Grant, the fact that they are making this much noise means there is trouble.)

>Choke points
The cavern itself is sort of a long choke point, with the width of the cavern mostly not exceeding 23 feet/7 meters, and the part of the ground traversable by hooves sometimes less than that because of the uneven ground. While neither perfectly straight nor consistent in width, no area stands out as a choke point outside of the treasure room

Jaged walls may be used for half-cover against ranger weapons, but nothing will perfectly cover his pony in the natural cavern outside of the apex or the treasure room or creek. Iron’s old friend, the darkness, naturally provides cover and protection, but it can be expelled by a light

Alright, time to act sneaky!
With over 300lbs of sound-inducing weight.
Iron, after safely taking out the pots, motions Cauldron to lay low and be ready to fire with her the moment somepony else fires.
With that, he steers towards the edges, moving towards the noise with no pots on him as sneakily as possible.

Iron goes to his right in a diagonal parabolic curve, away from the wall.
"What? You did not open the treasure room. I had to swim underwater and clear away rubble to even reach it. Your 'help' was barely helpful to reach the room. Your boss even attracted a bunch of bandits here through the imcompetent crew you were in opening their yaps when they should not have done, and him, along with most of his crew, paid the price."

We would have the annual alumni meeting over at his house. Mr. Loans... I didn’t know him well. But I know that he lost. And Extra Pair. He lost. He lost big time. He was in my class on Archeological excavations of the Little Hoof ruins. He took a risk running from bandits trying to protect an ancient cultural relic. Unlike you you coward. Hiding in Darkness, hiding behind rocks. Making your Zebra marefriend do all the work for you. Pathetic.

That last roll was spot, since I tried to look my surroundings for any foes apart from Grant. Previous roll was move silently.

Iron's mind vine snaps at his line of text.
"Oh yeah?! What did they do, apart from dying needlessly for the mistakes of some 'intern'? Why should I care for their actions when all they did was die needlessly for some mistake your group did?! Did you expect me to shed a tear from my eye for wasting lives due to negligence on your companions' part?!"
Iron exhales harshly.
"I kept me and my partner alive. I endured countless barrages of metal to protect my partner as much as I could. What do you know about risk, colt?! Should I follow your example of surrendering to a bunch of armed bandits to save your hide, even though they would have killed you and thrown you in a ditch later, in the off-chance some random pony would come save your sorry flank? You did nothing more than be a decoration in this whole affair! At least Pear showed some courage, unlike you!"
Metaphorically blinded by rage, he gets ready to pounce at anything.
"Show your face, then, unless you are scared to get your teeth broken!"

Iron quickly blinks the dust out of his eyes, moving backwards in a straight line.
He growls in anger.
(No mercy. This pony's bones will crack.)
Deciding to play offensively, he stops and carefully listens for any sort of clue of where the cocky pony is to blindly lunge at. Rolling listen instead of spot.
"When I find you, I will break your bones!"

Removing the dust is a little more complicated than blinking, requiring wiping his eyes with the fur on his ankles. It still requires only a standard action. Unfortunately, Iron's perception is not quite enough to overcome the echoing effects of the cavern to determine precisely where the sound came from, although previously it was determined to be in front of him somewhere

Iron's words are met with silence

Growling, he decides that taunting him to come to him or at least make a noise in retaliation should should help out, as well as trying to retrace his steps back to the pots just in case they are being stolen from him.
(Cauldron should have kept an eye on them, after all. I told her to guard the area.)

From round about the apex, a blue glow that radiates. It's not strong enough to illuminate the area, but it casts a blue light upon part of the floor. Then a twisting chick, and a brighter red light glows in the apex, briefly illuminating the silhouette of a pony in the Apex. The red fire is itself surrounded by a duller blue glow that moves it through the air, back a little, then, it is tossed forward

Fucking Christ. Now I feel bad. Break the low roll streak Iron!
Iron, seeing his opportunity to release his pent up anger, charges straight into the light, going for a swift blow to the revealed pony's head at full power. Non-lethal for now. No reason to antagonize Pear more by killing her partner or anyone else.
Although those rolls are quite unexpected for a seemingly posh stallion. Seems we have more ponies to fight.

The distance between Iron and Dr. Grant is rather great. Great, but this is Iron we are talking about. Iron lunges forward, galloping at great pace towards the pony until he is right up to him, lunges forward, takes a great swing... and just barely misses the pony's nose

Dr. Grant is not much of a gun pony and has clearly never used one before, judging by the way he holds it over his head behind him, and how he awkwardly holds the magazine. That does not stop him from gaining a solid hit, and several grazing blows

“He has definite internal bleeding. I am trying to stop the external bleeding right now, as well as apply anti biotic. There is an herb I have that if I can get it inhaled, should help to stop bleeding into the lungs, and keep him from drowning in his own blood. But who knows how it will turn out.”

Thinking of drawing a Blue.

"Let me try something before we try to stabilize this... pony."
He clears his throat.
"Pear! Are you there?"

He shrugs.
"I guess she ran away again after hearing the gunshots.
Looking at Cauldron, he nods.
"We should try to at least stabilize him."
(I do not want Cauldron feeling even more guilty than she already is for killing two ponies.)

“Or she was never with him. Or she does not want to give her position away”
She continues her work, quickly ripping open something with her mouth
“What do you think I am doing?”

And thus, Silver leads the two colts back towards the orphanage. "I did have fun, hanging out with you two today. If you would still have me, I would like to do so again some other day." He looks briefly between Mint Marine and White Orchid. "Probably on separate occasions for each of you, though, so we get to do what it is that actually interest each of you separately."

White Orchid:
“Ooh! The rail yard! The rail yard!”

“No... Unless you have special medical knowledge”
Cauldron pours something into her canteen, then tries to force Grant to drink it, but doesn’t seem very receptive

Iron, seeing Grant lack of reception, decides to try an unorthodox method, quickly jabbing at his flank close to his belly to see if he opens his mouth. Of course it's non-lethal, but also no power attack modifier with it in case he vomits from hitting him too hard.

"Heh! Yes, White Orchid, I will take you to rail yard next time we do this. Like how I imagine I would take Mint Marine to docks, if he would want to do this again."
