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

>>103103Upon obtaining a map, Brie can see that a Bales itself is pretty much perfectly on the border.
The area is defined by the convergence of two Rivers, where the Unity river meets the Wye. The Unity runs south from the Crystal border and the Neighagra, while the Wye runs West and slightly south, until the Wye and the Unity merge, and the Wye continues running South and West. The city of Bales is located on this convergence, with the main commercial area and the great train yards being east of the Unity and North of the Wye, an industrial area south of the Wye, and residential areas on all sides.
The Border between the Changeling Lands and the Bales District of East Equestria is West of the Unity, and North of the Wye, right across the river leaving most of Bales in East Equestria. A portion of Bales located West of the Unity is also in East Equestria, but sone little satellite communities are in the Changeling Lands
>>103088>Utensil throwingIt was utensil whispering unless something happened while he was in an alcohol induced coma that I don't know of
>>103112So can I assume that the map directs toward the hive?
>>103114To Brie’s West are 2 million square miles of formerly Equestrian and Crystal Empire land, and only then the Changeling Core Lands. It’s peobably safe to assume their are new Changeling hives in the occupied Lands, but those are not on the map. The closest big pony city is Whinniapolis at around 150 miles Northwest, but there are closer, smaller cities
>>103115Brie shows the map to Onyx and Sparks.
"So how do we want to do this? Its not too late to back out."
>>103116“No backing out, but maybe let’s not go in the most obvious spot to get caught.”
>>103117"Fine by me. I doubt we'll be able to make the trip without trouble, either from the Hegemony or from native creatures, but I'm for minimizing the threat."
>>103116>>103117>>103118"Well I can't very well back down now. I'm not sure what would be the best route. But preferably somewhere we actually can take the wagon without it being more trouble than help."
At this point, the main concern should probably be whether they want to enter the Changeling Lands by admission by Customs, or whether they want to enter without admission. Also there’s the question of where to cross
>>103120I meant preferably no minefields, sharp rocks, forests are out, and I suppose mountains are too. Why I say the paved road sounds wonderful!>>103121Without admissions sounds easiest/best
>>103121>CustomsYou can do that? I assumed you had to sneak in like it was Mordor n shit
>>103124^
Look what you fags have done. Now he's thinking.
I'm calling it now, one of the three won't return from this trip.
And if they all do, then it's not gonna be easy
>>103122>Minefields, sharp rocks, forests, and mountainsThis region is relatively flat, so no mountains
>>103123>MordorI had initially intended the colony territories, if not necessarily the hives, to be little more threatening than the Soviet Union. But now that you mention it...
>>103128>FlatWew, Onyx can manage the wagon on plains. Prepare the little house on the prairie references.
>Little more threatening than the Soviet Union>Implying the Soviet Union is better the MordorShame
>>103129What? No Oregon Trail references?
"You already made one"
Quiet you
>>103131You missed my post about fording the river then
>>103132I was going for another reference, but that, too.
>>103130Should they stick to more rural areas, they may want to avoid certain water sources, as well as be certain they avoid any sort of lice
>>103130I mean we can shoot buffalo until we have too much meat to carry back, but I think that's murder in this world
>>103131Kek
>>103134Hopefully one of us has survival as a skill...
Just kidding, no one takes survival ranks.
>>103135"So we're going where there's roads
kek then? Fine by me. Is there ANYTHING we might need that I haven't acquired?"
>>103134I'm assuming that Water is included in those provisions, but if not, consider this my bid to have water available.
>>103136"Roads or plains, I can work with either. As for supplies all I need is good for the trip."
I’M BACK MOTHER FUCKERS!
>>103138>Parrot NPCsOh shit, that’s a good idea
>>103143I like the idea of smol pegasi that act like birds
>>103144Like pic related. I remember there was one where she'd ask for breadcrumbs to a nigger but I can't find it.
>>103145I'm more afraid it'll try to perch itself on somepony's shoulder, making them fall down.
I'll be unavailable for a bit
>>103148True. The actual movie parrot had a way to perch on others' shoulders.
Honestly, it's a better pick.
>>103143>>103144>>103145Meanwhile, in Severyana...
Alright, so what are we doing?
>>103159Iron's having a marem full of ponies he barely interacted with.
Don't know about the others.
Batty fellow, know that it is a joke and you don't have to puke into the toilet.
