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.

I am not quite sure of Iron's fate, but he did manage to break some ice and a spare 20 I wanted to use to grab on the ice again.

Well, there's getting Father Maren's help for putting Curwhinny to rest, getting the money for the catacombs job, getting the wealth of dirty, damaged, or dulled weapons he has ready for use, and getting some new saddlebags and other sorts of bags, belts, and bandoliers.

Silver's got a Lavender Rifle, a Canterlot Sword, a combat knife, and a Colt .45 pistol that need with cleaned, fixed, or sharpened. The rifle and the pistol I've got plans to give to some others who lack a ranged weapon.

I don't think he's completely stopped being a sword wielder yet. It's just a lot easier to trust melee combat against opponents that can't potentially kill you with a single strike.

I wonder: what would a Tommy gun made for ponies look like?
>>107606
During the first exploration of the catacombs the Equestrian submachine gun found on the floor by either Onyx or Dark Star was intended to be a Thompson Submachinegun. That seemed undesirable, because the Thompson has a very high rate of fire, a high caliber, and is also ridiculously expensive to manufacture. Later I thought of setting the Sten gun as the Equestrian standard, and that works better for a number of reasons, especially balance, and faithfulness to adapted historical circumstances

Would it pass over to any new character that appears due to death?
Nevertheless, this is quite a surprise.

I honestly don't blame you for your current state. It's quite frustrating to have to juggle three different stories, specially one just for one PC and one where the entire group is absent for months on end.
I honestly wouldn't blame you if you want to kill Iron now and make me roll a new character. It should alleviate your struggles.

Simple enough. Once he's finished, he hooks himself up to his cart and heads back to the catacombs. "Hmm. That mud bath does sound nice, though. Hope they have fun."

Once more into the darkness, maneuvering his cart to the burned library. "Shame what happened here. So many books lost." Silver begins to put as many recoverable books as he can into the cart. Curiosity gets the better of him as he peaks into a couple of the volumes.

Aw... I really, really want to keep all of them...
I'll compromise.
Iron, looking at his pots with intense desire and hesitation, unties 2 of the pots off of him and leaves them be in this spot.
(If no pots ever reach Cauldron, then I have failed. I cannot waste anymore time, or she might have her eyes bloodied by the time I get out, or worse, I die.)

*Startled pony noises*
For a number of minutes, Onyx was trapped at the bottom of a set of stairs in a cheap apartment building, not fully heated. Brie disappeared upstairs with his two... foals, and Spark stayed with Onyx. Waiting. The yellow ragged furred "stallion" watched over them, as did another. They left out the front door shouting some alien language when a third pony came to see them, leaving Spark and Onyx to themselves. After some time, Brie came down stairs. So too does Spark leave back to the carriage. Spark placed himself in the back, and was eventually joined by the two little "foals." He'll be foal sitting for most of the trip. But at least, he is sheltered from the elements. Onyx on the other hoof... It's fairly windy, and that lowers the temperature still further. It's too dry to snow, but it's the right temperature for it. The carriage is still there, waiting for onyx to pick it up, and pull it off deeper into enemy territory
Looks like Onyx remains alive, kind of free, and still has most of his limited love reserves. So far

If Silver had to take a guess, most of the books here are not, in fact, unique, but rather were likely academic books in the time of Curwhinny. Some of them were likely banned. But it's the smallest category of books that is the most interesting.
One book is entitled "Practical Potion making," another "The Mapping of Non-Euclidean Spaces," still another is in an unknown language with the only recognizable part being a reference to the old Empire of Tambelon, and another about the customs of the Mareya ponies. There are a few more as well, but most books are pretty well damaged here

The pots sulk down on their ropes as iron tries to lose it, then immediately falls down when freed, briefly illuminated by the strobing blue electric lights that swept through the thin ice, before disappearing out of view. But there will be time to mourn the loss of the gold later (hopefully...) Iron must turn his head away, and back to the ice above.

It turns out, “practical” seems to be a term of art meaning “applied,” as in that portion of a science that pertains to putting theory into practice, rather than simple theory. The chapters Silver is looking at centers on the rate of diffusion of two liquids in a container where neither is soluble in the other and both have different heat capacities, when a heat source is applied below the container.

Onyx's carriage is in what is basically a makeshift "inspection station' ontop of a sidewalk past the entry point through the fence. the carriage has been pulled up so it does not block the way of the inspection point. The entry way and the wall itself runs down the middle of a street, and on this side of the wall, there are mostly single story shops, and three story small multi family units, mostly with shops on the bottom. Windows are often border or busted. More than one building looks as if it was hit with an explosion and never repared. All in all, this particular area is semi-urban, consists of diverse buildings of brick and stone and mortar with several wood, and most buildings look unused or abandoned, Some are clearly still occupied. On the balcony of an apartment above and a little over, a number of plants lay dead in pots.
The street continues, with buildings spaced a little further apart just further down. the streets seem to be just a little off from a grid pattern

It's been a while since Iron went under, struggling to get back to the surface, walking forward, and trying to swim up once more. At the end of his rope, Iron places a hoof up on the ice. He gets a grip. He pulls down, it holds. But as he pulls himself up... he reaches the end of his line, and inhales water.
Iron still has a card left to play. Roll luck
