Welcome back to the Latest Thread of Occupied Equestria

Onyx, Spark and Brie settle down for the night in a cabin in the woods along with a set of recently rescued ponies, saved from Changeling cocoons, as well as the changelings who sought to take them captive, who are themselves locked away as captives.

In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, Iron, and now Midnight Lily do their last preparations before seeking to take on a creature smuggling operation in a port-side neighborhood

Sadly, we either have to go to Sparta or find an illegal arena ring, since in Baltimare that kind of violence is illegal.

Do you mean like the “Arena” episode of Star Trek, the “Gamers of Triskelion” episode of Star Trek which prominently featured an arena, or Elder Scrolls: The Arena?

>>114264
Uh.... Not entirely sure how that would work in the setting. The SDP are obviously not going to allow it, nor would the Conservatives or the Fascists. I can’t really imagine the Changelings thinking it’s a good use if time either. There has already been an underground boxing match run by the gangs, though I’m not sure if that’s quite what you had in mind. Maybe bandits in the jungles would make captives fight, or find it entertaining. Certainly I can imagine Dragons fighting in arenas, if the party ever went to the Badlands or the Dragon Isles.

Actually... I think I know....

Iron picks up the catbird, places it over his head, grazing the arched brick ceiling, in an incredible display.

Only moments before the Griffin’s mind filled with a looming sense of dread. A foreboding sense of a looming danger. He could not have imagined that would come in the form of his fellow griffin, picked up, and cast like a rock by a pony of in-equine strength. He watches the griffin thrown forward, grace the ceiling, then plunge down on him, in where horror of what could have done this.

The griffin lands on the griffin, and both fall to the ground

So melodramatic.
Iron shrugs.
"Pretty sure the red gryphon has it."
He walks over to the knocked out one, and takes it out and walks back, passing it to Midnight.

I would say that with the character,
but Iron doesn't know what he's saying. Not an insult to you, it's for the gryphon hen.

I'll have you know that her kindness only extends to ponies and kirin! Griffons are the enemies of the Princesses!
"Thank you Iron, were you hurt?"
Her gaze softens as she accepts the knife, looking over Iron for any wounds.

Don’t insult and belittle NPCs, especially out of character and with knowledge you only have because of metagaming. At best it means next time there will be twice as many twice as strong enemies, and really it just dampens my enthusiasm for the game

There are no wounds on Iron aside from the one sustained earlier. The griffin is looking more than a little concerned, but not entirely fearful
