Occupied Equestria: Cabin in the Woods

This week, in "Occupied Equestria":

Wondering through through the Changeling lands at night on the road between Bales and Whinnyapolis, Onyx, Brie, and Spark have stumbled upon a set of farm ponies trying to hide their cattle in the forest, away from their changeling occupiers. While rescuing a cow, Onyx and Brie have taken heavy damage, and so they followed them to the cabin of a local woodspony. But they found the woodspony and a farmer replaced by changelings, and after a skirmish are alone and wounded in the cabin in the woods.

Over in Baltimare, Dark Star has decided to give up his life as Dark Star, the Earth Pony farm colt, to become Tyrel Jackson, or "Gold Chains," a zebra and aspiring rap artist. Through the magic of Valmorification, it is possible. Iron is freaking out after possibly having received a message from God herself. That, and his usual social awkwardness. Silver is cashing out on a long standing set of projects, and is readying himself for the next phase

"It is important for all to be safe and equipped. A mission can fail for even the tiniest of mistakes. I suppose you do not want that to happen, do you? Keep in mind, the others are always eager to help a fellow companion out. No strings attached. No need to be repaid in any alloted amount of time at all."
>>110883
He nods.
"Excellent."
>>110884
He looks at Skies.
"Are you sure you do not want at least some health potions in case you get shot? They are merely 50 bits each, which should heal most of your health in your case as insurance. Simply one would be enough in your case, due to your dexterous nature."

Meanwhile, calculations are made.
(So 3 sets of 2 potions of Invisibility 600*3, 2 Pass without Trace [100*3 and 2 Shrink Person 600*3, as well as 2 sets of 3 Cure Moderate Wounds 900*2
and 3 Cure Light Wounds for Star 150. Deduct my buying and Cauldron would get... 2450 bits from the others. Decent numbers.)
He nods to himself.

Perhaps this batponer is simply a throwaway so maybe GM thinks I may be taking advantage to get even more money from giving the poner who'll never appear again some potions she'll never use.

Silver! You can accompany Iron to fetch the potions if you want to, simply to see her but not much else. Elsewise she may get suspicious of the nature of the mission.

I don’t know. I tried to play Yakyakistan once after the Brother’s Feud update. I found that fighting Jakistan required grinding with tiny infantry-only units as they had too many units to go around. I thought, “fuck that,” and never played it again

If by “buy,” you mean, “receive for free” then yes.

>>110920
Any country that requires a war advancing little 6 width infantry only divisions with no hope of going around the enemy is hardly worth playing. It’s boring as hell placing the game on five speed and watching the green arrow stay the sane for half a minute, just to go back to red, all the while watching your infantry equipment deficit slowly grow.

The New Mareland MARESOC path is ruined for that reason, despite it being the funniest meme focus tree in the entire mod. There is no way to do it anymore without doing the civil war. And fuck that civil war. You can’t even get around it with console commands. Harmonic Changelings is kind of close to being on the same level, but at least their is room to maneuver. Most of the Equestrian Civil war states avoid this problem, but fighting Aztlan as the Disciples... it’s a pain in the ass

From the outside, the Watering Hole is a wooden two story building in the center of a block of buildings, with several windows on the upper level and at least one boarded up, and a wooden patio roof that extends out from between the second floor and the first covering the entrance and the area closest to the building, and is propped up by a few wooden timbers. The door is partly open, and from within the simple unpainted wooden structure, a loud noise of music exudes - is that that dreadful Jazz - and a bussel of creatures comes in, out, and hangs around in the bar, talking loudly. Mostly ponies, with some other creatures. Going inside it is even louder and livelier, with a live band playing somewhere over in the back. There is a large, burly Diamond Dog with a spiked collar on his neck, drinking a big mug of beer alongside some spotted grey and black earth pony with spiked hair

No, Skies does not scrunch her nose. She gives an innocuous look like in the pic

It's with the instruments of Jazz, to be sure. Almost like what you'd hear in a far away desert cantina

He gleefully takes in the admittedly more advanced music in store for him, slightly walking on the beat.
"Is this what it is called? Some exotic name."
He ponders for a bit.
(I think I have seen those two before.)
He approaches the Diamond and Pony duo, turning stoic.
"Have you seen Black Cauldron around?"

"Oh bite me..."
Midnight crosses her hooves and stares angrily at the pegasus.

"Yes, I suppose 'exotic' is term for it..." He watches from the sidelines as Iron apparently chats with some friends of his...or co-workers, if his stoic expression is anything to go off of.

The Pony and the Diamond Dog turn around, and look almost offended that Iron would come up to them
"Who are you, native?" asks the large, burly diamond dog in a voice that seems to belong to smaller creature

Skies looks back at the web-winged pony with her wings still spread proudly, tilts her head down slightly, then gives a grin that seems a bit malign
"Is biting the beginning of Courtship for you night ponies?"

>>110990
Uh.... which weapon shop does Dark Star shop at?

Without skipping a beat, he answers with a still face.
"Iron."
(Seems they do not know me. I may have inadvertendly entered into a fight, unless word spread around of my deeds as a criminal or they know a pony who saw me and all that.)

She laughs lightly, like a triumphant giggle, then switches subjects
"Tell me batty, what brought you along here?"

>>110996
Uh.... yeah... I completely remember who he bought his revolvers from more than half a year ago
