Occupied Equestria - Howling Night

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.

"Huh. I like it."
He rubs coats with Cauldron for a second before letting go, allowing her to put some distance if she so desires.
"Was there anypony else who tried to do something bad to us? Did we talk about anything that piqued your interest?"

Seeing she likes holding her, he continues with the holding, coat to coat.
"A professor? He does not sound like he knows how to fight."
He chuckles.
"As for what I mean, maybe we talked about anything in particular. Hopes, dreams, desires, fears and the like. I do not think I always punch anything that moves without talking."
His mouth forms into a grin.
"Most of the time, at best."

"That colt sounds weak."
But he turns into a ponderous look.
"Strange. Did we end up killing him to ensure the money?"

The touch attack hits

A beam of fire shoots out of Spark’s horn in a single concentrated beam, almost like a flame thrower, lighting up the night and hitting the owlbear. It gives a pained cry

A faded, yellowed letter in an envelope. It reads:

"To Tall Mast and Midnight Maelstrom, I hope you are unharmed and well in the manor house by the sea. Your old lover, Whipperwill, has formed a posse against me, and he has recruited other sailors and local militia to aid them. I think that an old compatriot of mine, Cinnamon Corn, has joined them, and turned against me. He wants access to some of what I had studied before I met you. They will be approaching the farm house shortly. My servants here have abandoned me. I am not sure that this letter will ever reach you. I want you to know that I love you. Midnight Maelstrom, see to it that Tall Mast is sent to a good school, and raised correctly. Tall Mast, it is your duty now to take on the family business, as I did from my father in law. They are approaching. If I do not meet you at the manor, or at the safehouse in the woods, may we see each other again in Elysium.

Joseph Curwhinny"

Iron inhales deeply, feeling a deep sense of regret and fear for her now fragile ego.
"Let me guess what happened. A silhouette talked to you about how you are a pony that can stop what happened in the dream. Am I wrong?"
Perhaps you could tell Cauldron at what approximate date will happen. Maybe a month or a year for now so as not to disturb the group for a long time.

"Curwhinny…" Silver regards the skeleton with respect. "You and I knew same pain. Under different circumstances, I can imagine myself trotting very same path you yourself took. You lost something very near and dear to your heart, and went to great lengths to mend that pain you had felt. And yet, you learned to move on in end, to find new meaning in life beyond those you had lost, to find new love and live again." He holds the letter as if it were a valuable treasure. "You, Curwhinny, were good pony, even if you did evil things in your life. I will take those lessons you learned, and I shall take them to heart. If, by some reason, your soul is watching me now, I wish you are resting now, in Elysium, in Paradise, reunited with your beloved Midnight Maelstrom, and your son Tall Mast...and, if you are listening...if you can, let my own long-departed know I am alright. My Storm Warning. That even though I miss her still, and that she will remain in my memories to day I die, I will not give up living my own life. For her, I will live on, like as how you Curwhinny lived on for your departed Wood Hill."

Silver once again regards the skeleton of Joseph Curwhinny in front of him. "I will not leave you like this, your body exposed to elements. I will find those who can give you and others here proper funeral, and if nothing else, I will give you proper funeral by pyre myself. I will treat your body with all respect it deserves. I promise." Silver pockets the undelivered letter, and heads back on his way outside to the front office. He thinks to himself he might have one more request of Father Maren, if he's willing to offer him aid once again.

He indeed does so. "It is good I caught you, then. That job you had posted, clearing quarry and catacombs of all undead: it is finished. Not one undead soul is left in entirety of area. Even Joseph Curwhinny himself, who had been lich, has been put to rest."

Don't worry. Just making sure we can have the possibility open for a group quest, which should make the campaign a lot more bearable

She calls the phone, and has a short conversation
"uh huh. He says there was a lich. I don't know what that means...."
She hangs up, and tells Silver "He'll be here shortly"

Silver continues waiting there. He doesn't wait long - perhaps five minutes - before a pony comes through the door. It's a tan unicorn in a blue business suit. His mane is greyed
"Well hello, my name is Glass Horizons."
He offers a hoof to shake
"You say you're here for clearing out the quarry? You're a different pony than I spoke to a couple days ago."

"Quarry has been 100% cleared of all undead. Well over two, perhaps over three dozen of them, including pony, zebra, and wolf skeletons, chimera skeleton, ghouls, ghasts, aquatic ghasts, mummy, other type of undead which is as-of-yet unidentified, and Joseph Curwhinny himself, who had been lich before I put him to rest today.
