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'll assume it's a single die roll between 1 to 20 to see how far he can go before starting to make fortitude saves not to drown maybe or perhaps reaching it beforehand.

Iron is in a few feet of water, more than enough to keep his head submerged. The Ice above him is solid, but is now slightly cracked
Iron can feel his lungs grasping for fresher air

Iron does what he knows best: punch the puny ice into breaking.
(Come on, Iron. Keep your consciousness. Almost there.)
He punches with massive power, hoping to break it and at least have a little breath before passing out.

He is alive thus far, and the ice is cracked open above him. The problem is, he's still too short to reach it

Fuck. Wasted a good roll.
Iron decides to swim up there in order for his forelegs to maybe grab on the edges, hoping to either break, causing a bigger opening to maybe simply walk off the lake, or have a mouthful of air and pull himself up.
Rolling swim
Come on, dice. I know you care about me.
Give me your power!

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.

Plan 1, Iron get's the special result, which gives him another action this turn
Plan 2, Iron has to make a fort save before he can act next round, but when he acts, he can act freely

While I know that the special result will be a lot more interesting, but the fact you're offering it means it's going to be nasty.
I am super sorry, but I have to go with the pussy route. I can't let Cauldron down with the possibility of the rope breaking and making him lose all of the pots.
Rolling fort.
DC should be 11

Oh whoops. I checked and it's true. Next time I'll roll doing that. I thank you for your kindness in this time of need. Now if only dice would cooperate.
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.
(Come on! I can do this!)

Hm... You drive a hard bargain there, GM.
I think the hooves on ice to either break it, clearing the path, or get a helping hoof has a better long term benefit.

And this is where not having actually completed the relevant history of the place harms me
“Maybe, but right now we only have suspected immigration violations. Besides, the moment they hear gun fire, all they need to do is scatter or hide, and wait until we go home. Then they are right back to doing what they were before the next morning

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?

Ah, well. That was kinda part of the plan. How much ice breaks is now the question.
Can Cauldron tug him a bit up for him to pull his nostrils out of water before either being forced back down or having to let go?

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."
