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

So what should I roll in this instance if I want to get closer? Move Silently, Hide or is it luck-based?

The trouble is the fire light, the incomplete set of obstacles to hide behind, and to a much lesser extent, the moonlight. She'll see him the moment she turns around. Maybe if he rushes, if he's both silent and lucky?
How close to her?

The creature is shot in the head, exploding its skull, sending shriveled brain fragments flying. It is shot in the knee, exploding that, and shot basically everywhere else, tearing it to shreds

The closer to engage in grappling without an AoO, the better.
I understand that the only thing stopping her is that she needs to turn her neck around, so it's a move silently in a rushed pace. I'll roll it.
Iron, knowing she could turn around at any moment, picks his pace up to a hurried, hopefully silent gallop.
(I need to restrain the mare and dishoof her. Otherwise she may either call the gods into a rampage or hurt Cauldron.)

"I apologise for letting it strike at you. Should we face another, I shall take its aggression in your place." Silver loads in another mag. "I will need to stop and reload my magazines soon, at this rate."

She does not notice him. At least, not until the end of her “talk” with Dr. Grant
“You will wish for your princesses and your Elements back. And you will wish for new heroes. They will rise. And then. Only then, will you appreciate something other than who has what chair, or university rankings.”

I'll assume I can grapple the mare now.
Seeing how she is still busy, he takes the chance to grapple her, attempting the grab her forelegs and pulling them towards her hindlegs to make her fall.

He takes this opportunity to place himself on top of the mare in her compromised position. This is the one time one could say they really were wrestling.
I think Pear can do an action before I get to pin and later disarm her. Attacks have -4 to hit.

Pear can feel a light shudder coming from her grappler, his expression is clearly shocked judging by the widened eyes and raised eyebrows.
(Is this what civilization does to mares?)
She can feel Iron applying pressure with his body weight, holding her forelgs with his own.
"What are you doing with your partner?"

"As expected. Infiltrators are notorious for taking much pride in their disguises and infiltration abilities. Whereas other changelings may try to bluff their way out of it, infiltrators react violently, as if insulted."

I assumed Pear's position is belly to floor but since he grappled with his forelegs, he could easily move hers to the sides as he made her tumble to the floor.

Silver chuckles. "No doubt there were other infiltrators in that department, who are now running for hills since one of their own has been found and killed. You did good."

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding as to the meaning of “smile”
Pear gives Iron a malign grin, which shows that she has resigned herself to being unable to immediately escape or fight, while her resolve has not yet fled her. She shakes, showing she is involuntarily in great fear. She pulls down her tail, trying to wrap it close to her and under her.
Cauldron comes over, clearly pissed off
“The fuck were you doing?!”
Pear answers Iron’s question first. Slowly, deliberately, with hints of anger. Occasionally, fear breaks through
“I was talking to him”

Iron brow furrows, angered by her feigning ignorance.
"You killed a pony and threw him into the fire right in front of him! That is not how normal talking works, Pear!"

"About as done as I was, which means I have likely two more trips to make, perhaps three. If you are asking because you wish to know when I will be ready for mission, then I will tell you that I still have couple other things I need to do after this. I need to see Father Maren about putting Joseph Curwhinny to rest, and I have couple issues with equipment and weapons that need solved."
Silver thinks for a couple seconds. "Iron and Onyx, do they have firearms?"

“It’s how you spoke to Dr. Grant the first time you met him. You killed several ponies, in fact. Killed by leader of the bandits, too. Didn’t even give him - them - a chance to speak back. It’s how you spoke to him when you two tried to kill him later. It’s how you spoke to all those ponies in the camp. What were there, like, six of them? A couple playing poker. Why are you angry at me for speaking to the pony you almost killed yourselves?”

"No, they do not. iron likes to punch things. and oynx has a halberd. Why where you asking?"

Iron shakes his head.
"Do you honestly believe fighting between ponies is equal to killing somepony who could not even defend itself?"
He looks at Cauldron, determined.
"Tie the forelegs."

"You say you might need to request some heavy artillery for this mission. In my years of working as mercenary, I have seen combat become far deadlier in recent years, and fought at increasingly longer distances. As much as it pains me to say, even my beloved greatsword is not as effective in modern combat as it used to be, when swords were still viable against those early breech-loaded rifles. And thus, I have noticed that there is two among our number who lack ranged weaponry. I still have one Lavender Rifle that I need to get cleaned and fixed, and there is still that Colt pistol you left in my possession. I was thinking perhaps that they could be given to Iron and Onyx once weapons have been readied, that they may have option to fight at distance."

Cauldron scarcely needed Iron’s direction. She goes up to tie her. Pear uses the occasion to wrap her long red tail under her.
“Fighting? Is that what you call it? Because it’s hardly fighting. Ambushing opponents. Attacking before they know you are there. Attacking them with no chance to defend themselves. Attacking them before you even know they are hostile to you. And most of them you attack... the only reason you had get past them at all was money. All for a little money.”

"It feels like it. Some days, I feel like relic of ancient and storied past. Even so, it is likely I will continue to wield my sword until day I die. But I would be fool to deny that we are in Age of Firearms, and no longer in Age of Swords." Silver smiles at Dark Star. "And you may keep your Bits. I will pay for restoration of firearms out of my own pocket."

Iron raises a hoof, poking his chest.
"Oh no. They did have the chance to defend themselves. Why else would I have all the metal bits in me if that were not the case? Do you think Grant gave all of these wounds?"
He then pokes her flank.
"You? You do not even have a scratch. From the moment the maroon pony and his two goons aimed a gun at me and my partner for the dog idol to now, yet you feel entitled to kill a pony in a vain attempt to spread your ideas to a scared pony whose only thought process is," he looks to the sky, face contorting into a pleading expression, "'Help! Help! I am going to die.'"
He turns back into the judgemental stare at Pear.
(Damn these history ponies. Why are they so crazy?)

"There is no doubt in my mind that you would be. But you have been far too kind and generous to our group, and especially to some poor old relic like myself. I will have money coming in soon, after this job. Allow me to show some generousity as well, to you and group both."

“Even after blatant murder, robbery of a temple, desecration of a grave site, you are still self righteous and morally superior. So killing is morally justified if it’s in the pursuit of your efforts to sleep with a Zebra I take it?
