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
Dark Star and Silver are preparing a task for the Civil Administration. Iron is drowning in a Lake. Brie has just gotten approval to speak with a Changeling agent about acting as a collaborator, and Spark is petting the weird cat things.

See, you would be right, but now that he knows the dangers ahead and how to deal with them, his confidence is boosted to a high degree, without any need to risk Cauldron's wellbeing... too hard.

Iron nods, walking to his stuff and equipping his pouch belt filled with rocks, making sure to leave his bit pouch on the couch.
"Could you help me strap on my armor before we go?"
He starts the armor placing process.

Aw damn.
It should be a lot smoother than flat out coming out with the dream process right now.
She should witness Iron know some things he shouldn't first, then come out, in order for Cauldron to realize the dream wasn't a dream but a future.
Iron smiles at Cauldron.
"Thank you. Sometimes the jungles may inexplicably get rowdy, and I would hate to see you get hurt."
(Like some random bandits...)
>>108516
Well, no. You don't simply come out and confess. There must be some flair to it. A surprise. A gift to go along with it.

"Oh. I guess the dream caught all of my attention. We are still going to get the flowers at a later date, right?"

Okay, I definitely remember Iron agreeing to help her fetch some flowers in an expedition of hers at some point the night before the dream. Granted, she never said when, but she did present the subject.
Iron cocks his head.
"You do not remember the night before, after the talk of getting you out of your... sidejob?"

DARN IT! DAMN THESE TIME JUMPS AND THEIR CONFUSING TIME WOBBLEY STUFF.
Iron smiles sheepishly, blushing a bit.

Look, you were fucked over when Ash left, because it meant that it was not feasible to entirely send off Iron across the continent on his own. I created the dream sequence partly as a test for a possible future jungle setting, and also so Iron could have something to do while I tried to get the other players over to the next day. It was supposed to be a short little excursion. After I got the idea of adding a story to it, I dragged it on. Then it dragged on much further, then much longer, until it became a 5 month long nightmare I could not end. It is over now. Now join in with the rest of the group, or if you want to go into the jungles without them, get Ash to play

Kek! That's not quite how he looks Although I realized I kind of fucked up the way the second layer of dye would be applied, so maybe it would make more sense for him to be black with white stripes
He has a beautiful set of stripes. He still has pony features like his skull shape and slightly less bulky appearance, but he can't help that

Oh.
I completely understand now. Instead of being pushed for a later date ingame, like I thought, the idea was scrapped until further notice.
I suppose I'll bring it up later when I reunite with the other PCs after the group quest, maybe. I am not sure having that sense of urgency planted right at the end was a good move tho.
It shouldn't change much. Just forget about the jungle comments, still have Cauldron help him with his armor, and let's continue with that. After getting your permission, we could have that as another group quest at a later date, if you want to.
Sorry about not being able to confess to Cauldron yet. So far he hasn't proven himself to be a viable candidate so he fears rejection.

Fuck off, the alternative was just having it be a complete dream where nothing corresponded to reality and Iron loses all progress gained with Cauldron. This way i at least set something up should I want to reintroduce any of those characters or parts of the setting again.

Uh... not sure GM would be very cooperative after the previous ordeal, nevermind the fact Cauldron wouldn't simply let herself be fugged without showing some sort of display of wanting to help her.
Now that I think about it... she may have had the deam of Iron smooching her...
I wonder how that will have an impact.

Iron looks down, then at Cauldron.
"I can come here at any time to fetch it later, right? I do not have many places to keep armor."
Nevertheless, he starts unstrapping his armor, keeping the leather belt with the rock pouch, leaving the bit pouch out in the open.

His mind wanders to the future. He thinks about what it would be like to have a home and family,what it would be like to get a medal from the duke for his service in pushing the changelings out of western equestria.
He Dreams about being reunited with his brother and showing Him the Stallion he has become.and how proud of him,he would be.
as his train of thought changes back towards his future home and family, he can't help but imagine what his children could be like.

Stripping for zebra soon-to-be-GF. That's the true opportunity!
Iron smiles.
"Thank you."
With or without Cauldron's help, he unlatches the annoying to put on and off armor pieces off of him.
Who knows? She may have to take of the rear plate on his hindquarters. She may recall the dream.

that dream comes to his mind again, he can't help but to smile. he thinks of them not in danger but running around in a field on his property, the wide open Emerald green grass as far as the eye can see,
the deep blue sky accenting it beautifully. and the warm amber of the Wheat Crops he and his son tends to. as he imagines the sweet voice of his beloved calling from the kitchen that She needs a drink.

Nervous sweating
Iron can't help but blush at how eager Cauldron was when Iron confessed to her in the 'dream', to the point of kissing him, when she leans in.
(Did she... witness that part, too? Was it only triggered because of me admitting the pots were only for her? Was it... because she simply likes me?)
He coughs unintentionally after thinking this, buckling a bit.
(How would I go about confirming this? Maybe ask directly? Try and find a roundabout way? Maybe make suggestive poses to her innocently?)
A little huff, after taking off the last of the armor, is let out by Iron.

Oh joy! I will have the chance to interact with PCs again!
It feels as if I'm in a new world!
Psst. GM. Can I do some tweaks to my character? I want to make him a multiclass between Fighter and Barbarian, removing both my Cleave and Great Cleave, as well as weapon specialization and focus and keep Improved Unarmed Fighting, Endurance and Power Attack,
as well as add the Passionate and Musclebound traits.

I'm liking the idea of the plot line. Should any other characters be blessed enough to be visited by the Princess of the Night, we should probably see if we can get answers to the two important questions we don't have answers to yet: when, and how.

Soon enough?
I mean, this time is very quiet. Perfect to make changes before actual plot progression starts. Take your time, tho.
By the way, I've removed the Abrasive trait, too and added some skill points to climb, swim and survival while still attaining max intimidate.
If I remember correctly I still have some spare points due to the cutie mark feature,
right? Since I could max out a skill for free and all.

If you say so. The rules weren't quite clear so I thank you for your clarification.

I know. I wouldn't have gone with multiclassing if the cleave feats were actually useful in a variety of situations.
We're both rookies who have no idea how to use the mechanics of the game, but we learn from experience.
You could definitely go for it. It should do good money if you can buy the materials, as well as allow you to craft weapons to the other PCs as either gifts or sell them at a reduced price.

I just didn't realize that's why he needed 8 points in a specific skill. I thought it was some DnD rule I didn't know about. Weaponsmithing makes way more sense as his cutie mark skill than Intimidation, both in his backstory and in it actually relating to his cutie mark.

He decides to use whatever signals she may have subtly displayed during the armor removal in order to grasp if the scene indeed is playing in her mind or not.

Iron's brain is processing.
(Was it only a wet dream of hers by her estimation? It cannot be, for it was a life-or-death situation. I think she does indeed want me, but if I remember her apprehension from before was only breached by throwning myself at the bandits with guns to help her make her store. Perhaps, if I start bringing money in to her, the same effect could apply. Maybe research what she's looking for currently and buy it for her.)
With Iron's new objective of both boosting his confidence to confess later and getting closer to solidify his newfound the possible romantic relationship with Cauldron, he can't help but blush a little.
(That would be wonderful.)
He finally removes all of the armor and will follow Cauldron to her work if it applies.
(I should ask along the way for anything she needs currently.)
