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

>>114364Surprisingly not a single graze aside from the little puncturing from the first griffin back at the dining room.
"None at all."
>>114359He looks to the last standing gryphon to see his current status.
>>114367Roger.
No idea why you deleted the other post tho. Suppose you accidentally put a pic you shouldn't have. >>114368>>114369I could fix that, but that's another spell....
She looks at the griffon
"Do you know any ponish?"
>>114370I would like to clarify
>I could fix thatIs referring to the griffon not being fearful.
>>114372Nice.
Iron decides to start tying the griffons up with the spare clothes he got. He starts with the red griffon's 4 legs.
[1d20 = 17]<Playing with ropes >>114375Iron nods.
"Down one. Should not bother us for a while."
He walks back to Midnight and still conscious griffon.
>>114373"Make sure he does not try anything. I am tying his friend up," he says.
>>114375And he ties the other unconscious griffon the same way.
[1d20 = 17]<Makeshift Bondage is fun >>114375Midnight sighs
"I guess communication is not going to work. Iron, could you tie this one up when you are done?"
>>114378>>114377After he finishes, he stares at the conscious gryphon, presenting him the shirt.
"I tie you up. You attack, you meet hoof," he raises his other hoof up to cement the message.
He awaits his response.
I'll roll intimidate this time.
[1d20+8 = 14]<Spookster >>114379His eyes go wide and black at the approaching hoof
>>114380Iron stops his hoof, pushing the other gryphon off him and proceeds to tie him up.
[1d20 = 18]<The safe word is 'Mango' >>114381He tries to struggle at first, but is tied up
>>114382Iron does the unthinkable, booping the gryphon on his beak for his vain attempt to struggle, shaking his head.
"None of that. We are the ones that are in control here."
He stands up, then starts dragging the three of them towards the same wall in a line.
>>114383“
CAW!”
Which wall? It is a very large building with very many walls
>>114384What room are the 5 in?
I suppose I could drag them to the boiler room and place them next to the wall in front of the door that contains the stairwell.
>>114386I'll go with dragging all three gryphons by their tails to the room with the hot steam engine, then placing them in a line next to the wall in front of the door that contains the stairwell.
>>114387It’s a bit cooled down now, with the red glow extinguished. They are all dragged there
>>114388Iron ponders what to do.
(One of them clearly does not know the language, so it would be useless to talk with him, so I will have to awaken the other two.)
He sits next to the first downed griffon, slapping him light on his cheek.
>>114389And thus he sits next to the griffin and slaps him. His body stumps down against the wall, bending over itself
>>114390Iron is a bit discouraged by this, repositioning the body back into being back on the floor with all four claws in the air.
He then remembers the Grant awakening in the dream, grinning to himself.
(I suppose that could work.)
And thus, the sin has been committed again, slapping the tied up griffon right on his exposed flank.
Midnight's player is absent for now but he'll come back, so don't await his response coming soon. >>114391To both spoilers and unspoilered statements
>>114392It worked last time.
So... I suppose that's a... no, then?
>>114391Why must you sexually assualt the prisoners?
>>114394It worked the first time.
Alright, I won't do it.
Could you wake up one of the other captives, please?
>>114395Fine, Midnight walks up to one and lightly slaps their cheek.
"Wake up birdie."
>>114396I've tried that. Didn't work for me, sadly.
>>114396>>114391The griffin is not awoken, even though the one that is awake looks over
>>114399Wait, did the spanking happen?
>>114401I have no idea.
Your direct response was unclear.
>>114403Hmmm....
Sure
The griffin is dazed, and breathing heavily with a gurgle, but slowly gaining consciousness
>>114404"Well... You are alive"
Midnight nurses the griffon back to consciousness.
>>114405His eyes are crossed, and his head bobs. His breathing is erratic
>>114406"Oh dear, come on. You can pull through"
[1d20+11 = 26] Heal!
>>114408Midnight’s inspection reveals a cracked chest plate and a bruised neck as well as s pinched nerve. Midnight is able to slightly relax the griffin to lower the breathing, and to ease the pain on the neck
>>114408HE LIVES!
>>114409The floof is also here, yay!
>>114410Iron stands next to the somewhat stabilized griffon.
"Can you talk?"
>>114410>>114412"you really did a number on this one Iron."
>>114413>>114414Iron looks at Midnight.
"Indeed. This pony is unresponsive. Try to restore him to a speakable state."
>>114411>>114408The griffin pauses for dramatic effect. Then he looks directly at the visitors in the back, and he smiles. Then he speaks to his audience. He shouts in a foreign language, in a paragraph long speech that builds and builds. They chant back at him excitedly, with clear energy, in the se foreign language
>>114416Silver has to give it to him, he knows how to get his followers eating from the palms of his claws.
>>114418Ah
"I have done all I can, it is up to their own strength now."
>>114420>>114414Iron ponders, then tries to wake up the red gryphon.
(He seemed stronger than the others.)
>>114419He’s knocked the fuck out
>>114419He pauses for some cheers, and then stays silent as the unicorn near Silver stands
“Our inductees...” he says
The griffin responds
“Yes... if you could introduce yourselves
The first creature to stand is a black colored, possibly raven based griffin (more likely just a black eagle, but who here is an ornithologist?), who stands up, looks back, and is afraid to speak for more than a moment. The unicorn tells him “Go on, tell us who you are and why you are here”
He’s reluctant, but he starts to speak in an overly thick accent
“My name is... Schwarzefeder Yeager...” He clearly doesn’t have much practice with public speaking, but he addresses the crowd all the same
“I am from old family in the Hearzlands, in Yale. When the Archon took over... I knew I could not stay. Too much history between my family and the temple there. I came to Equestria, because Princess promised freedom and friendship. But the ponies were hostile and unwelcoming. The Griffins were no different than they were in the Hearzlands. And the only job was night shift in a jacket factory, and I was not paid for all hours. I was sad, disconnected... I knew I could not go back, but I left behind my family and every griff I knew. It was Wilhelm over here” he points to another griffin “who told me of this place.... And I learned somethings. I feel like I belong here. I am ready to be inducted.”
They cheer
>>114422>>114420Iron sighs.
"Great."
He ponders to himself, looking at Midnight.
"Do you think we can communicate through pictures?"
>>114422Silver respectfully listens. He knows a little about the Archon and the Rule of Three, such as the purges of the Harmonists in the Empire, but he doesn't know much beyond having a surface-level understanding like most ponies.
>>114425Iron smiles sheepishly.
"I assumed you could. I admit I drew at most stick ponies.
>>114408Also see
>>114422>>114424>>114408The black griffin sits down, then the unicorn says
“I believe we have... some creature else”
With little other prompting, a diamond dog of black back coat and white belly stands up. He is big, muscular, and with a more tapered muzzle, like a Rottweiler
“My family move here from the central Diamond Hundlands. My father work all day at the power station shoveling coal. My mother and my sister...” his tone shifts from anger to sadness “they die of the Distemper... I and my brother take care of them and we get jobs to help make ends meet. My brother works for local group to collect money from flower shop. But flower shop owner hires pony with spear to protect them. My brother was stabbed to death...”
He hangs his head in sorrow, and after a pause lifts it up, definitely crying
“And the police did nothing! They release pony after they catch him. The gang did not want anything to do with it... so much for them. I talk to friends. They do not know what to do, but one of them tells me you could help me get revenge on pony.”
He ends again on an expression of anger
The griffin speaks
“Yes, yes. We can
definitely help”
\r
>>114427>>114419>>114408The griffin asks back
“I don’t believe we got you name”
The diamond dog answers, in that high pitched voice that seems too high for such a large creature
“My name is Oreo, and I seek to kill that pony who killed my brother”
Hi. I'm back.
How are Seb and Fun?
>>114429They caught the big gae, sadly.
RIP.
>>114427Silver can sympathize with his plight, even if he had to have known that there was definite risk in that kind of life. While he nods at the Diamond Dog, he wonders what pony could have used that spear.
>>114429They are both trying to get hugs, and both have hard and cold exteriors
Uh... anypony have any actions to declare?
>>114433*bugs are hugged*
>>114434Well... the griffons are downed.
I suppose I could pat the remaining griffon or do the boopening until a new group shows up so we can get anygriff that actually can speak Ponish.
Pretty sure throwing water at them shouldn't work at all, right?
>>114435Just boop the griffons until more come
>>114434Do the bugs enjoy the hugs?
>>114436Good plan.
>>114434Iron smiles devilishly, starting to boop the conscious gryphon relentlessly, but with care not to actually punch him.
I may have to change up the story and reveal from how I intended it to go>>114437Yes
>>114438There are no words nor still images
>>114439Was the bat pony still in the room? I don't remember.
>>114443
Obviously it's not funny. I was cackling due to the torture booping of the conscious griffon.
I proposed, you approved through Skies, then I acted on it. Nothing more and nothing less.
I admit this experience is exhilarating nonetheless, like the actions me and Midnight are doing are having a positive impact on mission completion. I think. Physical evidence, some prisoners, etc.
>>114443
Not refuses. Now that the changelings are calmer, they are capable of being watched by the bat with hopefully a whole lot less escaping.
Spark exits the room and tries to motion the changelings to stay put. He closes the door and meets up with the other ponies.
Looks like Dark Star has been claimed by the Void...again.
>>114446I'm Here, i just swallowed a black pill about my life. Where were we at last time we played?
>>114427>>114448Dark Star has a tear roll down his cheek as the doggo describes losing his family.
Then something form the back of his mind comes forwards as he thinks to himself.
"Wait.... Didnt oynx Stab some creature in the flower shop?"
>>114449>>114441Poor doggo
A zebra runs up to the griffin speaking and whispers something into his ear. He stops to listen, then he announces
“Mr. M will be back shortly. We will move to the inner chamber soon”
>>114449>>114451Silver looks to his two current companions with a hint of worry in his expression.
Did Iron and Midnight get discovered? We need to get to them, as soon as possible. >>114453They are not done yet. There is more speaking and chanting in some foreign language, before the congregation gets up
>>114451Dark Star Glances over at Silver looking a little worried.
>>114454Silver stands up as well, feeling like he's gained perhaps a little bit of perspective, even if this wasn't the particular path he had in mind when he decided to scout out the church.
I hope others are okay... >>114456Dark Star whispers to him
"Should we Head back?"
>>114456>>114455The Griffin now addresses the audience
“Some if you have been with us since the beginning. Some have never before attended a full meeting. Some of you have been poor and downtrodden. Displaced, lonely, sick, bullied, or beat up. Hungry, cold, humiliated, or denied your birthright path to power and glory. But all of you... All of you, have found new power and new purpose in your service. Give... and you shall receive in kind.”
>>114457He whispers back: "I would recommend it, first chance we get."
>>114458Dark Star looks intrigued by this statement
Y'all mind if I just,
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>114459>>114457The old unicorn steps up, and looks back to the two. He is pretty well dressed - a black tail coat and a u-neck vest. He says to the zebra and the fluffy one:
“Well hello, we’ve scarcely made an acquaintance. It’s nice if you to drop in on our meetings. I do apologize if our group seems a bit... reticent to speak about their nature. They are repressed in their home countries for their beliefs, but as you’ve seen here, they are open and eager to take in new members. The esotericism of their practices is really only a superficiality”
He smiles
>>11446110/10 would waifu her against her will
>>114463Reeeeeeeeee don't you dare waifu the bat!
>>114461>>114462So... what are Iron and Midnight doing?
>>114465I was serious with the whole booping thing.
It may attract some more guards or give the other two time to wake up for their round of questioning.
>>114461In my professional opinion, this is a qt.
>>114463Silver nods, and offers him a hoofshake. "Serebry Mechov. It is nice to see others in downtrodden state share in their worries, help work through things together."
>>114463"It nice service, Oreo story is like mine. Family was kill by speciest pony."
>>114468The unicorn nods to Dark Star
“I see. Sadly not all ponies are accepting. They fear what they do not understand. If they would only look beyond rough or crude exteriors, they would see something
beautiful inside.”
>>114467He shakes his hoof
“Well, nice to meet you Sereby. Yes, it is good to give make. But more than that, it is good to be among them. To be a part of culture”
>>114466I was gonna say, booping seems like a good way to wake them up.
>>114469Dark Star extends his hoof
"I is Zekker,Whats yur name?"
>>114469Silver nods to what he says to both to them. Especially to what he says to the floofy unicorn, it hits home. "Yes...indeed..."
>>114470Or... that, too! That sounds like a good idea.
Iron decides that booping an unconscious gryphon's snout should stabilize the hen in question, changing the target to the red gryphon.
>>114470>>114466You
monster>>114471>>114472“Nice to meet you, Zekker. You can call me Sweet”
He shakes the zebra’s hoof
He looks back to Sereby
“So, you say you are looking to recapture childhood memories of days long past?”
>>114474>Boops GMMonster I may be, but sometimes you have to do bad things for good results.
>>114474>>114475>Boops GMAll's fair in love and war.
>>114474The sudden jumping to that question visibly catches him off guard a little. He wasn't expecting him to go straight to that. "In way, yes."
>>114476>>114475NIGGER DON’T YOU BOOP ME>>114477“If I may ask a stranger... and if it troubled you so much to seek your way all the way out here.. what is it about it exactly that you miss, or that you want to recapture?”
>>114478I'll keep booping your gryphon NPCs! You can't stop me!
>inb4 send a dozen guards with SMGs.Iron slowly and steadily boops the red gryphon in an attempt to wake him up.
>>114479>>114475The beak on the red griffin slides in a way that seems unnatural. Most likely, the beak is broken
>>114478Silver lets out a sigh. "When I was foal, my father owned blacksmith shop, fixing up tools and like, and I was his apprentice. When I was not at school, I often helped him in his work, brought tools and materials he asked for, or even made new tools all on my own. It was...nice. Simple. Hard work, yes, but it helped to instill good values in me at that young age. And besides...it was just simpler time back then. You did not have political strife, wars and invasions. Ponies and others could call each other neighbors and friends without fear, suspicion, or hatred. Seeing world as it is now, it can make you long for those times. We've lost so much since then, and gained so little..."
>>114480Oh.
Well good job on dissuading me from booping him any longer.
Iron recoils at the sight.
"I must have gone a bit too far with them."
He attempts to do so on the partially conscious gryphon.
The one Midnight recuperated by a bit. >>114482*do the same on the partially
>>114481He nods
“There are many who yearn for older, simpler times. There is much wisdom they have offer us that is lost to this era. I tell you, hatred, fear, and suspicion may yet be banished from the hearts of at least individual creatures. You just won’t be able to do it with... well, shall we say, ‘contempary’ societal structure.”
>>114482He looks forward. Dazed, but eyes big and open, tearing at the black boiler
>>114484"Are you awake? Do you see what is poking you on the beak?"
Iron cautiously closes his hoof on his beak, trying to see if it recognizes it.
>>114484A subtle tilt of the head displays his request for Sweet to elaborate.
Okay, I am definitely ending here for the night. Hopefully I will be able to respond eventually
>>114474"Sweet? Interesting Name."
>>114484"What dat mean?"
>>114487Night Fren
Is anypony there? And do you want to play later tonight?
>>114493What are your restrictions for divination spells?
>>114495Well, if it’s a divine spell caster, so long as they have a divinity to receive magic from (including “Nature” if it’s a Druid or Ranger) there should be no issue
>>114496Okay.
What about spells such as, "Summon Lesser Demon"?
>>114497Summon lesser demon is a 5th edition spell. I suspect that you have been looking at 5th edition rule books, hence why you asked about a warlock (warlock is one of the main classes in 5e). We’ve been using 3.5 edition. There is no “summon lesser demon” in 3.5, though clerics and druids have access to spells like “summon monster” which allow the spell caster to summon extra planar creatures, which is pretty similar
>>114498Do you have the same multiverse with the same planes?
>>114499>>114500Well.... you can summon the same creatures, but let’s be vague about planes
>>114502Do beholders exist in this world?
>>114503Who is to say what entities blaspheme and bubble at the center of all infinity, listening to maddening and muffled drums played by unspeakable creatures?
>>114504That is the correct source
Today has been great at work>>114506I’ll consider advancing Silver. In the meantime... how are you?
>>114507Eyyyyy! That's great to hear!Can't really complain. The weather's been nice out, Mom's starting to make a recovery, and I got chicken fajitas to look forward to making tomorrow. You?
>>114522Hello!
>>114484>>114490“If you want a full critique of the modern world, well... look outside, for instance, or listen to certain political activists. But the diseases of the model era are not ubiquitous... You’ll find they are absent from many the older, more tribal societies. They have a way of living with each other, with nature, and with that beyond nature that is Harmon’s in ways most ponies have forgotten”
>>114524Silver silently considers this for a moment before nodding in agreement.
>>114526>>114525He looks back at the two, fairly intently for a moment, as if measuring something. Then he backs away
“Well, I shalln’t trouble you anymore. Thank you again for staying as long as you did. We are looking to share”
>>114527Silver offers Sweet another hoofshake to part ways with. "Thank you for having us. It meant lot."
>>114527"Place very nice, might come back"
>>114529>>114528He stands for more than a moment, waiting to see if either creature wanted to ask any questions of their own, but seeing they have none, backs off and does not press
>>114530is the speaker still talking?
>>114531>>114532It seems as if the group is transitioning from one portion of their night to another. Creatures stand up, some talk to each other, most are silent. One griffin in a seat seems to have turned around and is flirting with the griffin behind him. Which seems to be... Blue Skies. But they are clearly not done for the night
>>114533Dark Star walks beside Blue
"Hey sugar beak who dis?"
he puts his foreleg around her neck
>>114535Her feathers perk up and eyes widen with a quick “eek” at the hoof suddenly placed on her from behind. She looks back to Dark Star with chest annoyance, as does the make griffin, a big griffin of rust brown coloration almost that of dried blood
\r
>>114537"Wrong Griff."
Then he walks out of the church
>>114538I suppose Silver would follow.
>>114539>>114538Whatever the others are doing, it dies not involve them leaving the church. Silver and Dark Star are able to leave the church without comment or notice by any creature else
>>114539Dark Star sighs and says
"Let's go check on The others."
>>114542Dark Star leads them back to the building they left Iron and Midnight in.
Thinking I should take Improved Sunder over Heal Focus when our level-up comes.
>>114550It’s something to think about
>>11455110/10 would pet and take for walk
>tfw fell asleep for the whole afternoon
>>114560Awwww. Does somepony need a hug?
>>114570W-why would you do such a thing?
>>114575No One cared who i was until i started booping.
The situation at work today makes me just want to scream
So how is everypony today?
