Occupied Equestria - Hazardous Crossing
Anonymous

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

Shimmering Spark, Onyx Steel, and Brie Achtungsex now make the perilous crossing into the Changeling Lands. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares for his next big assignement, while Silver concludes his mentoring of traumatized foals. Much further away, Iron stands under jeweled nighttime skies, preparing his next move

I have the idea that, maybe with his massive weight, he will be able to make a huge crack that could potentially open up the edge of the lake for a simpler extraction when he gets there, as well as allow him to get a breath of fresh air.

I honestly have no idea what kind of careful I can be when I can't even leave the water without sacrificing the pots.
Alright, dice. I am being serious here. Grant me a 15 or more to reach the outside, cause a nice crack for Iron's exit at the edge as well as a nice breath of fresh air. If not, you'll have a sad zebra on your hands.

One last time, between his honor and his life, he wagers his possible last few moments of breath for another chance to get out of the water, hold onto the ice and maybe cause enough pressure to break it and ensure his safety.

Silver nods. "It should be considered matter of last resort. Our primary goal should be avoiding hostilities for as long as it is possible. Especially as we do not know full extent of their offensive capabilities."

So, just so I can say I'm no longer just assuming, what kind of action in combat is reloading: free, move, standard, or full?

Just give some examples, like semi-auto pistols or bolt-action rifles.

"To that end: what about concealable weapons? Pistols, sawed-off firearms, or knives, all of which we might conceal in coats to prevent ourselves from announcing to world that we are armed?"

I'd wager that pistols, SMG and other light weapons with magazines is a move action. Rifles of most sorts will probably need a standard actions
Bolt action rifles without the clip and having to reload each bullet as well as shotguns of the same kind of reload counts as a full-action move depending on how many bullets you reload.
LMGs and other heavy weaponry is most likely a full-action in most cases.

"As I said, last resort. There is advantage to not carrying large bolt-action rifle or submachine gun on one's back, especially when attempting to, perhaps, infiltrate criminal organizations. Outside of that, it is clear we will need some measure of self-defense while roaming in that part of town, and I highly doubt any knife-wielding delinquents or thieves will not run from even just mere sight of firearm."
