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

>when you reference something out of pure luck
Iron inhales deeply, glancing at Cauldron before looking down and lightly digging the ground with a hoof.
"Fine. You got me. These," he shakes the pots as the blush intensifies "are supposed to be a gift for her."

The sound is from further in the halls, on the other-side, near the main area the group had operated before

"The more, the better. It is still supposed to be life-changing money, which means it should be a lot."
Poking his chin in order not to reveal every single thing to the all-seeing Earth mare, he opts for a reasonable description without being too obvious of his and Cauldron's intent.
"Perhaps the same amount to buy a house and fill it with those wood things for storage, along with a place where to cook. Also some beds and other things these metal jungle houses have."
He walks over to Cauldron, pulling her closer yet again, winking at her.
"Is that right?"

"And that requires all of this money?"

He goes forward, around through the little hallway past the chemistry lab, past curwhinny's little bedroom, and towards where the library had been, the one that was set on fire

It certainly sets Silver's hairs on end. But... "When did undead start laughing?"
Move Silently: Silver tries to sneak up on whoever or whatever is making the noise.

Iron nods.
"Yes. Most definitely, since the cooking ingredients she uses are quite rare, too. Too much uncertainty so she has to buy them in bulk every week."
He slowly leans over to Cauldron's ear while smiling, hopefully to placate the smug pony in front of him.
"Tell her the cost for your potion ingredients, Cauldron," she whispers into the now flustered zebra. "Unless you think we can get away with saying the true reason behind the use for the money."

It doesn't hear Silver, but Silver does see it
Silver's flashlight shines forward into the hallway, and immediately picks up a shadow. Silver may have confused the entity standing before him as a living pony, as indeed it is in a better, livelier condition than those he has encountered before. It has part of its mane, grey and black, and it wears a brownish ragged jacket of indiscernible style, as well as a badly faded purple-white Tricorne hat on its head. It still has much of its coat, a matted rusty color, although if it was simply covered in dried blood its not sure it would look any different. The eyes remain in its sockets... but that's where the difference is most immediately discernable. The pupils are pitych black, and take up almost the whole eye.
"Hehehe, hehe" it laughs almost nervously. Its lips are gone, as is one of its ears
>>105938
"Well there's uh, the mandrake root... which is... very expensive"
She's definitely stumbling over her words, but at least she isn't quite dead from embarrassment yet
"Uh huh" says the not really convinced Pear

Iron's brow is getting even sweatier.
(This is the worst way to confess feelings for another pony.)
"Alright, fine. You got us again. Remember that whole funding thing? Well, she was the one who was going to be funded into having a small business."

"That can also happen, yes, but I mainly wanted to help my partner replace her current job that, as I said, saps her very soul, with something she likes doing a lot more."
He looks at Cauldron.
"If you feel able to talk about your passion that will turn into your future job, do it."

Oh I know. He was a confused little colt those times.
Iron squeezes Cauldron affectionatley.
"Come on, you can do better than that. Tell her about the magic potions that make my hide tougher or the ones you brewed just to heal me up to full fighting strength."
He looks at Pear.
"There are also some that increases one's attributes temporarily, too. Things like intelligence and charisma to strength and dexterity."
He smiles giddily as a colt in a sugarcube store
"Are potions the best thing ever when it can do things like that? Of course they are!"

The bullets rip flesh off it, and the tricorne falls off and onto the ground. A particulary large bullet lands into its chest, and released a visible electric shock that illuminates the area for a third of a second. Still another bullet hits its foreleg, and hacks it nearly off. Not enough though, for though the bone is severed, it hands on by tendon and fur.
It shrieks again, and tries to limp forward towards Silver

Silver lets loose another burst, with intent to send it back to the grave.

One, then two, then, three, then a fourth, a fifth, and finally a sixth shot hit it. One hits its chest squarely. One goes into its barrel near the rear, between the hip and the belly. One rips off part of its ear. Another goes into its collar, and seems to break a bone. One hits it in its head, and causes a part of the skull to come off in a tesla-coil like display of arcing electricity, and causing the eyes to briefly glow red. The final bullet grazes the other fore leg. After this, it looses it balance definitively, and falls down to the ground, inanimate

Silver should have 10 round remaining (if the magazine is not completely filled, as is recommended for this variety of gun). Dark Star is out, and needs to reload

It's there in the light. Another one of those things, the same style. As before, this creature has a livelier general appearance than the ghasts known before, with ragged fur - greyish white in this case, although whether that is its natural color or a faded version of its original, who can say, and a matted brown mane. This one has the torn remnants of some kind of clothing, but is mostly naked. As before, giant black eyes stare back at Silver.
It gives a strange screech, closest to a high pitched female scream, but sounding really more like something belonging to an animal

The creature is repeatedly, on its side, its legs, its barrel, its chest... a well placed shot even caused its lipless jaw to detach and hang, with the left side falling completely off. That does not stop it from charging directly at silver in an almost flash and guttural "AHHHHHHHH!"
It lunges at Silver with a hoof

With the creature right up in Silver's face, and with his magazine empty, he's forced to switch to his greatsword, which he uses to slash at the undead menace.

Iron smiles, nodding before straighteing his back and clearing his throat.
"How do you make a healing potion?" he asks Cauldron.

Iron blinks.
"I see..."
He turns to Pear, keeping the smile.
"Well! Potions are usually not that cheap to produce, which is why I need the most amount of spending money to buy them, as well as the possibility of having to need more ponies."

"Mainly the fact I have no idea how much the finder fee actually would be."
Iron pulls up both forelegs up as he makes an expanding motion with them.
"I am looking for big amounts of money, not a small trickle of coins."

“I’ve noticed...”
Pear turns away from Iron, leaving her long, strawberry colored tail behind her, wrapped up thickly in a bind. If it were let free, as she would probably carry it in less humid environments, it might look a bit like a fox tail from afar, except of course with long, straight hair than fluff. As she walks away slowly, towards another part of the fire, she walks past her own portion of the salvage that she must’ve taken while Iron was lollygaging: a second idol sits by the edge of the fire as if an observer. Indeed, all four of them are there, facing inwards. With her alone prancing there before Iron came, it almost looks like a child’s tea party, with old idols serving as stuffed-animal guests, and the fire as the central table with tea pot. Or it would be, if it weren’t rather menacing. The fire itself has died a little, with less fuel added to it. Cauldron remains by the fire, pretending to tend to the water which by now is sending off definite steam from its pot. As before, the night remains living, hot and humid, with insect noises all around.

Iron blinks at Pear's actions.
(I assume she does not know either.)
With that, he decides to let the events that transpire settle a bit as he approaches Cauldron, sitting near her, trying to act inconspicuous as he stretches his legs along the ground.
"Phew, I am beat."
The sweat from both the heat and the tension of the situation are clearly visible, staining his short, smooth grey coat while his mane is a lot more heavy from the humidity.

Iron purses his lips.
"It is quite tempting to simply take it all, but I will feel sorry for the mare after she revealed her feelings. If only I knew the exact numbers to base my answer on, then perhaps it could simply go along with her offer, but the uncertainty of the payoff gives me quite the doubt."

Inhaling deeply combined with the slight tinge of blush from her apporaching, he lets out his response.
"She does not sound like a liar, unless she is an excellent one."
He gently wraps a foreleg around her.
"But I am sure I can trust you if you tell me she is a bad apple."

Iron nods.
"I should ask about the amount I could get from the fee first. If it is low, then no amount of pity can move me to accept it."
He smiles warmly at her as he stands up.
"Nevertheless, I will have my guard up. Do not worry."
(I wonder how she feels about the gift. Perhaps when I get the numbers and settle for what I should do for tomorrow, I could ask her about it.)
With that, he proceeds to go over to Pear Faucet.
