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.

>>108562I feel like there’s a missed opportunity hereOh well“Sure”
>>108563D’aww
He may think of little White Guard, ready to attack the changelings, or little Endless Skies, ready to stab them with a hidden spork
>>108564Stripping 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. >>108564that 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.
>>108566Darkie! I need a goddamned mixed drink!D’aww! Kids of his own, or adopt orphans?
>>108565She leans in, and helps him unlatch the armor
>>108567KekBoth,son should have been sons.
>>108568Nervous sweatingIron 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.
Alright, I am going to sleep now
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.
>>108577A whole new wooooooorld...
>>108579Hello hello. How's it going?
>>108579Hi, GMo!
Is the spoiler I've written in the previous post you've responded alright to you?
>>108581Uh
>>108584We’ll talk about tweaks soon enough
>>108589Sorry. Just wanted to get Iron's input on what he or I thought the plot was heading.
>>108589Soon 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. >>108591I never approved “traits” to begin with. That was just a wish list you and the former player had
>>108592If you say so. The rules weren't quite clear so I thank you for your clarification.
I do remember the cutie mark thing still being in place, so I'll spread the extra 8 points to other skills while I'm at it.
>>108593I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>108594Did you know what your cutie mark lets you max out a skill as long as your cutie mark relates to it?
GM said so when explaining races in the first threads, remember?
>>108594>>108593Okay, so Silver was reentering the catacombs, and Iron was stripping off his armor
>>108595No...? I know that other campaign has that rule but I didn't know that it applied to this one.
>>108596Fuck. Apologies for the double post.Indeed he was. He points his flashlight out in front of him as he once again navigates his way to where Curwhinny was sealed away.
>>108596Oh! Are we starting?
Last post to this would be
>>108570>>108597It does. Pretty sure he copied that rule to its own campaign.
I'm sure you can find evidence of it
>>108599Wait, is that related to how the GM said that Silver had 16 points to distribute, but had to use 8 of them on a single skill?
>>108600Kinda, but yes, you had to max out a skill related to cutie mark, then distribute the points elsewhere.
>>108601Had I known it was related to his cutie mark I would've picked Weaponsmithing over Intimidation.
>>108602I 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.
By the way, here's the exact post confirming my words.
>>70857 →>>108603I 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.
>>108605Well, it's a houserule of sorts created by him.
Speaking of, did you see how the GM hasn't responded yet?Also posting proof of my claims apply to Earth Poner link just in case
>>68287 → >>108606He's probably having lunch. Nothing to worry about.
>>108607I hope so. I have the habit of getting into people's nerves.
>>108598Silver comes upon it. It's quiet in the catacombs now. The casket sits, cold and stone, in the chamber past the little bedroom away from home. Above it remains the warning from long ago
>>108599Cauldron pays no mind to the coughing, and helps to remove the armor
>>108609It is almost unnerving, this quiet... Silver, not knowing how else to confirm Curwhinny's existence or lack thereof, knocks on the casket lid with a hoof. "Hello? Anypony home? Joseph Curwhinny?"
[1d20 = 9]>>108609Iron seems surprised Cauldron isn't the least bit flustered for doing this, knowing both of their dreams were the same.
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.
inb4 nat 1 and Iron thinks she's fishing for the D. >>108613The darkness and silence pervades
>>108612It seems that she perceives it as just helping a pony into a cumbersome suit
>>108614Iron'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.)
