"I hope to see you again,my friend."
"Remember to Give Blue my Shares if i don't return,sir.Goodbye."
He walks back towards the table.

>>112205
"I will"

>>112204
As Dark Star walks away, he speaks to Iron
"Can I get you anything to drink?"

>>112206
He shakes his head.
"No money with me, sadly."
He sits down.
"However, I think you and Star were talking about changeling deadzones?"
(I wonder if I will ever meet one of them to see what they are like. Especially their... abilities.)

>>112184
"Files said there were rowboats going from boat in harbor to docks, right? What would you say odds are that somepony could sneak onto one of those and row it back to ship?"

>>112207
"Changeling Deadzones?"
He looks at Iron in confused silence for what is probably two seconds, appearing almost stunned
"Oh, you mean when I said Changeling hunting grounds. I mean Succubi. Changelings lying in wait for stallions looking for a good time. They think they found a pretty mare to spend the night, or longer with, but really its a succubus who sucks the life straight out of them"
He does a little thing with his hooves near his mouth to demonstrate that last part

There are actually a few posters on the wall behind him that warn of the same threat

>>112208
"Depends on if they are expecting the rowboat to return. Or if they are still parked in the harbor"

>>112211
Silver rubs the bottom of his chin. "Yes...could be worse odds, especially with potential payoff."

>>112211
Iron nods.
"I assume they are quite the sneaky ones if there is only warning posters about them."
He comes closer, wanting to test his knowledge.
"Say, do you have a personal way to find out who is a changeling?"

>>112214
"Yes. Find a girl, have a good night with her, take her back to a hotel room, and if she eats you, she's probably a changeling."

>>112213
"Do you want to rob a ship... again?"

>>112215
Iron chuckles.
"Alright. I get it."
Then he turns a bit nosy.
"Did you have any experience with them?"

>>112215
"What's this about ship robbing?"

>>112217
"Not that I can remember"

>>112218
"Ask Silver Sword"

>>112221
Iron nods, suddenly getting a creeping sensation.
"Do you have any advice to make sure any actual mare I find is not replaced by a changeling?"

>>112213
>>112221
He Looks over at silver

>>112215
"...Again?" Silver feels like he's missing something.

>>112226
"I am thinking about hijacking oneof their rowboats and rowing back to boat they have anchored in harbor. I imagine there will be wealth of records on there civilian government, and perhaps even Black Hooves, will make use of."

>>112224
He turns his head
"Changelings are just like any other predator. They are lazy. They go after the weakest targets. Don't be a weak target, and you are unlikely to be preyed upon"

>>112231
>>112226
"Oh... Right. You didn't participate in the last act of piracy"

>>112232
Iron nods. He then decides to maybe indirectly spill recent events to the bartender.
"Got it. Let us change subject. Say you had a marefriend with a secret then you invite a friend who, in their line of questioning, threatens to reveal the secret. How would you deal with it?"

>>112233
"Ah Fun Times/"

>>112231
"That could be quite dangerous."

>>112234
"Well, if that secret is 'she's a Changeling,' then you should turn her over to the police for the sake of your own health. But if both parties involved already know the secret, it's not really a secret, now is it? Like, how do I reveal a secret to you about yourself that you already know?"

>>112235
"I think he wants to do it again"

>>112233
>>112235
"...This is about job you all did at docks night I came to Baltimare, is it not? One where half of docks you were at went up in flames?"

>>112234
>indirectly
Silver would probably say otherwise.

>>112236
"No doubt. I would not take any unnecessary risk, but I am not stranger to this kind of mission."

>>112239
Iron's not a master at subtlety.

>>112239
"That was... not my fault"

>>112237
Iron nods, rather conflicted.
"Not a secret, huh?"
(I may have to tell her the truth. Better me than finding out with the others.)
He starts biting his hoof softly.
(Yeah, I might have to. If she finds out from others, I may break her trust irreparably.)

>>112241
A hearty laugh comes from the old unicorn. "Oh, I know. Especially after meeting that kirin, Ash, I knew you were not one responsible for that."

>>112239
"Yes,one in the same."

>>112242
"I mean... I'm confused. Does she already know? Does he already know? Who is being told something they don't already know?"

>>112243
She only nods, in irritated remembrance

>>112249
"Oh. The friend knew the secret, but the marefriend did not know he knew the secret."

>>112249
"So, has plan seemed fair to you, so far? Earth ponies go through sewers, pegasus and bat fly to roof, and I keep watch over harbor."

>>112250
"Well... I don't know. Maybe there's something in the old princesses' journal about it"

>>112251
"Well, assuming they don't find us. If they do, they can pick us off and kill us much more easily than if we are together"

>>112253
He cocks his head.
"The old princesses' journal?"

I am going to sleep

>>112255
Night!

GoodNight Fren

>>112255
Sleep well!

Commission a Blue Skies Plushie, Yes or No?

>>112280
If you have the money for it? Hell yeah!

>>112280
Do it fag

>>112280
I've already said go for it some time ago.

>>112280
Do it

>inb4 it's a Cauldron plushie instead
Zebras taking our Skies.

>>112307
Is super cute Poner

>>112282
>>112284
>>112285
>>112307
Fuck it, let’s do this.

tfw I found an image that perfectly expresses the way I’d want her chest and hind legs to be, but it’s an explicit image, so I can’t really include it in the email as a demonstration

>>112308
There is no image of Cauldron

>>112309
If you can crop the naughty bits out, you should be good.
I know...
Maybe I should try to replicate it on the pony creator thing, that could do it.

>>112311
Make the Zeeb

>>112309
F

>>112315
Maybe you could ask if it's okay to base it on that while warning the presence of ambiguous penetration.
>>112312
Perhaps.

>>112309
Could I get an average description of Cauldron's body in a single post?
Taking height, buffness, thickness, eye colors, hairstyle, mane and coat coloration.

No need to post right away. It's simply a request of mine you needn't complete.

>>112327
Well, she’s a Zebra. Coat scheme is white and black stripes that bend diagonally forward upwards on the back, with white as a whole being a slight preponderance of color, a black stripe on her spine, a whiter belly, and mostly thinner stripes around her belly and hind, but at least one thicker over the chest or center. No grey like in Zecora. The bottom part of her muzzle, and probably the front half of the top around the snout is black. I wanted Amber eyes, but I guess they were described as blue somewhere so there is that. Mane is very simple, in a kind of Mohawk, but it bends down slightly under its own weight near the top rather than stand straight up, causing it to tilt over slightly to one side or the other. It’s not very long, cut short. I’m actually not sure about color. Probably black, maybe grey or both grey and black. The tail is a bit longer proportionately than the mane, and is cut abruptly at the end.

Her whole body is... well, her body isn’t really all that feminine. There’s still sexual dimorphism, so she isn’t Silver’s size and obviously not Iron’s size, but she’s above average for a female, and probably as big as Dark Star. Her fur looks like it has a decent amount of muscle underneath it. She does not have a horse like slim belly, but the more pony like big belly that is thicker around the belly than the chest

>>112330
While I admit I won't be able to recreate the stripes patterns, all else is extremely useful.
It's time to build!

Here are the results from the description.
I think I've made her look like an actual zebra and not a complete Zecora recolor.
All 5 images have little differences in them. Pick the most representative of the Cauldron in your mind and feel free to point out things to be fixed.
Though be forewarned, for this pony creator engine is basic bitch tier.

>>112335
That’s not... quite what I had in mind, but a neat zebra nevertheless

>>112338
Yeah... too limited options.
Any specific fixes needed?

>>112339
i'm not a fan of he Asian eye

>>112344
The other eyes available are too pony looking, but here's a possible replacement.

>>112345
Yea i like that one.

>>112346
Here's a little changed version.

>>112347
i like the Aesthetics of this one better.

>>112348
Anything else of note?

>>112349
Not really, Gm Can pick the next stuff.

>>112338
*nudge nudge*
Do you like the representation of Cauldron now GMo?
What needs to be done to close the gap between your vision and my work?

>>112351
Its kind of cute as a zebra.

If you are asking for differences, those would be...
The stripes are going the opposite direction. Forward as they go down, rather than backwards. I guess that isn't really an issue because there's more room on the neck than the hind to put stripes anyways
The stripes should go almost to the bottom of the belly, but here they only go halfway or less. Maybe they should even change direction after halfway down the Zebra
That zebra is grey, whereas Cauldron is white (with more black). Maybe pony creator doesn't have white though.
That zebra has a long black top muzzle and a half black bottom muzzle. I envisioned the reverse, a half black top muzzle and a black bottom jaw.
Black Cauldron has a cutie mark - a Black Iron pot. I understand if that's not really possible to add.

The one thing that kind of bothers me is the mane and tail. The mane might just be too long, while the tail is definitely too short.

I figure that Black Cauldron collects debts, which is pretty masculine, and thus probably has some tomboyish inclinations to make her keep her mane and tail shorter. But at the same time she's not really super butch, and thus has no real reason to cut her tail the same as a stallion. She would, however, keep her mane short for a simple, practical reason. Black Cauldron is in a business where she is fairly likely to get into a physical fight at some point, and having long hair is a hazard in a fight, because your opponent can grab it, or bite it. I figure a tail is a little less of a danger in that regard, so she'd probably keep her tail longer (relatively) than she would keep her mane.

I think of Blue Skies. She is rather tomboyish, so that is a reason for her to keep her mane and tail shorter. She is also from a militarized culture and she admires the military, which is another reason for her mane to be shorter, as they would keep hair short. However, Skies has an overriding reason to keep her mane and tail longer, that being that Stallions in even vaguely traditional cultures expect girly girls to keep their manes and tails long, and probably usually think longer manes and tails are more attractive. Skies goes out of her way to try to appear physically attractive to stallions. This isn't just because she is a slut and craves male attention (don't discount those reasons either). It's because Skies, in her role as a secret police officer, is basically a fem fetal. She tries to lure in targets and get them to trust her and reveal information, or, alternatively, just think that she is a stupid bar slut and not take her seriously as a spy. So Skies would keep her mane and tail long, because she wants to be beautiful, kind of like Rarity. Rarity, however, has extensive knowledge about fashion and so can make her man have strange curls. Skies knows nothing about mane care, and so keeps it well washed and fine but simple and straight. while focusing her attention on her coat and feathers. Thus Skies has medium length hair that is fine but a simple style.

Cauldron does not have all of the same factors going into her needing to look pretty, as she does not work as a waiter, doesn't need to manipulate stallions, and isn't looking for a mate. So she is not as well washed or cleaned, her mane is oilier and even more basic, and her coat is more coarse. I figure that something like mohawks is probably culturally common for Zebras (and Cauldron is fairly traditionalist), perhaps because Zebra manes grow a bit differently from ponies, so she has a kind of mohawk but with hair that tends to fall down, and it's definitely not a complex style.

>>112353
>Stripes and muzzle color, as well as anything related to it
Sadly, I don't have any options there, ironically enough. Only zecora's stripes pattern is in this.
Specist devs. XP
>More whiteness
Done.
>Cutie mark
Looks iffy.

>Mane and tail
Here are the changes presented. Mane shortened, as well as have a bit of leeway of being a mohawk. Tail two-color style is a bit eh, but it has the look of being cut short.

Take a look.

Does nopony want to play or plan tonight?

>>112358
I am, but I dunno how Iron can manage while having the group quest pending and almost ready to go.

>>112358
I'd like to play.

>>112358
Also please gib feedback on Cauldron.

>>112358
I'm here.

>>112254
>>112358
Forgot about this line.
Could you answer him?

>>112360
Silver hasn’t responded to the last thing said to him

>>112362
Well, I don’t think Spark has much to say to the two Changeling drones

>>112361
Uh... I don’t know? Now she looks even more masculine. Maybe try the old mane style again

>>112254
“Twilight Sparkle’s Journal

>>112366
Okay, so the problem now is her being too masculine. I'll see if I can have a mohawk-looking female hairstyle. If not, I'll just plant the Zecora mohawk and hope for the best.
Iron cocks her head.
"Who is Twilight Sparkle?"

>>112253
"True...like I said, all plans have their weaknesses. Only question is if this one's are outmatched by its strengths."

>>112370
But that's racist?

Okay, the ponies and honorary Zebra just need to figure out the basics of how they want to approach it

>>112370
Uh....

>>112373
YOU’RE HERE TOO

>>112368
“Heh, where are you from?”

>>112374
NO I'M NOT
>hides in bush

>>112374
Iron smiles.
"You could say I came from under a rock."
He chuckles.
"The jungle is my home."

>>112376
“Heh. Well. Fancy that.”

>>112378
Have more Cauldron pics.
Iron nods.
"Am I really such a rarity in these parts?"

>>112381
“A native? No, not really. But most of them can name the princesses.”

They look cute, especially 3

>>112376
Midnight looks interested
"The jungle? That sounds unique."

>>112385
So do we go for third pic as official Cauldron look?
Iron feels like he should've listened to the elders more, ears drooping slightly, looking embarassed
"Oh... they do?"
>>112388
Iron smiles.
"This concrete jungle is also unique to me, so we are both on the same leaf about that."
He chuckles.

>>112388
Skies, not liking being our down i the specialness department, says
“I’m also am immigrant, from an even further away and more foreign culture”

>>112390
“Oh, don’t worry yourself too much with it. There’s a lot of ponies worrying themselves too much about who is princess”

>>112391
Dark Star puts the pot of coffee down on the table.
"We Might need more than this."

>>112392
“Heh. What’s your plan? Silver wants to split up”

>>112393
"That was my plan."

>>112391
Silver the completely normal Equestrian and absolutely not immigrant (cyka blyad) has some coffee.

>>112395
>>112392

>>112394
“Well... okay then”

>>112391
He nods to the barkeep.
(Seems like a likeable pony.)
You still haven't made official the Cauldron Look (TM). Aside from the stripes, of course, do the mane, tail and cutie mark work for you?

“So, everypony... are we agree on a plan of approach?”

>>112397
I mean... sure? Black Cauldron’s physical appearance has never really been important to her character, so I’ve never put much thought into it
I guess it matters if you are trying to fuck her now

>>112399
"Yes i believe everypony agreed"

>>112401
Iron nods to cement this.
"My hooves will pull through."

>>112399
"I will just follow you all."

>>112401
>>112402
>>112403
>>112395
“Alright... do we go to the church first, approach from the north, the west, the south, or the sea?”

>>112400
Out of curiosity, do you mean you agree it never really mattered before, or that it’s more relevant for sexual fantasy purposes?

>>112404
Both, but especially the former.
Iron shrugs.
"As far as I know, I have to go to these sewers, which I do not remember where they are."

>>112404
"Which Church?"

>>112406
She shakes her head
“The Church of the Sacred Heart”

>>112407
"Ah of course. i suggest we approach approach from the west."

>>112408
“Alright, that’s directly across from the three buildings. There should be apartment tenements on the other side... maybe a warehouse, I can’t really say”

>>112409
"Whats on the south side?"

>>112412
"Probably a factory"

>>112413
he touches his chin in thought
"That might be better."

>>112415
"33 Hoebuck itself has the old fort and dormitory on the south side, the facilities building in the center, and the workshop on the Northside. Water all the way on the East, probably a small dock"

>>112415
>>112413
Iron chimes in.
"The sea seems to risky unless the ponies going are really stealthy. I would wager the warehourse is the most assured to be clear of trouble."

>>112418
"Well, any approach from any angle has the risk of being seen from windows. At least the sea has the sea wall, which could block line of sight if you are close enough to the wall"

>>112418
"why do you think that would be the best?"
>>112420
"That could be useful."

>>112422
>>112420
Iron nods.
"If being seen is indeed a problem, then going along the sea should prove helpful. We could go for the factory, where I assume the residents would crowd up for us to blend in."

>>112420
"Is now a good time to mention I can disappear into shadows?"

>>112426
Skies blinks
"What?"

>>112427
"Yes, I can envelope myself in shadows so other ponies cannot see me."

>>112426
Iron nods approvingly.

>>112426
>>112428
Dark Star's Jaw drops
"How?"

Is Silver kill?

>>112428
Skies is still confused, but is otherwise speechless

>>112423
"Do you mean the workshop inside Hoebuck? I imagine the other industries in the area will be closed late at night... Unless they operate a night shift"

>>112430
"Luna's blessing, it makes traveling through hostile areas easier at night. It gives you away in a well lit room though..."

>>112431
Iron hums.
"I suppose that means no blending in. Seems the sea is the stealthiest choice."

>>112432
"...Luna? but....."

>>112431
Nah.

>>112432
Silver nods, the only pony of the group to not be confused. "That could prove useful in this mission."

>>112435
"I hope so."
>>112434
"But what? Did I say something wrong?"

On a related note, Midnight Lily’s prepares spells should probably be declared about now

>>112433
“Well, a dash to a door or roof top is possible, as is infiltration, if we can disguise ourselves as a party that has a reason to be there”

>>112437
Dark star leans over to blue and whispers
"isn't luna dead?"

>>112437
Iron nods.
"We could blend in as workers if we want to cause havoc on the inside. I can easily do it without much sacrifice aside from my rocks."
>>112436
>>112434
He chuckles.
"Dark Star is a silly pony."

>>112438
She shrugs
“I guess not, if she’s still hooffing out salads as welfare to the thestral population”

>>112439
“If we can get inside then that might work”

>>112440
Iron points at Skies.
"Now now. Do not be disrespecting other ponies' deities for no reason, Skies."
He nods.
"In any case, should they simply let us in if we admit we are one of the illegals?"

>>112438
>>112440
Silver raises an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

>>112441
(Taking offense)
“The Tartarus are you talking about, Plantation Colt?”

>>112442
“She summoned some lettuce, or something earlier. Claimed it was from Luna? I don’t know. Might have been a magician’s trick”

Midnight's large ears turn towards Skies as her eyes narrow.

>>112444
"Did you do what trixie used to do?"

>>112445
"Who is this... "Trixie" you speak of?"

>>112443
"It is not outside of realm of possibility." He shrugs. "I know what you might think of them, but Alicorns are most certain higher beings. Celestia and Luna in particular. Summoning food items is well within their power to grant to their followers, even if they have been captured by changelings."

>>112444
Well I wasn’t going to, until you mentioned using a spell I wasn’t aware mid-lower level clerics could use. Then I figured that I should try to block any surprises

>>112444
She stares right back

>>112444
>>112443
He shakes his head, then proceeds to ignore her like he should've done
She turns to Midnight.
"Try not taking too much offense in her words. They come from ignorance."

>>112446
"Some wandering magician who used to put on shows before the war."

>>112450
"I cannot say I have heard of her... But what I do is nothing like that."
>>112449
"I will keep it in mind..."
She continues staring back at the pegasus.

>>112447
Skies kind of mumbles back, as if not really in response to Silver, and she looks away
“More powerful does not mean higher... and I wouldn’t trust a Changeling’s captive...”

>>112449
“Oh, fuck you colt. I don’t see you strongly educated on... well, frankly anything”

>>112451
She stares right back

>>112452
>>112451
He keeps ignoring Skies.
"Do not fall for it," he tells Midnight. "Let it go and forget that ever happened. Princess Luna would not want fellow ponies to bicker, now would she?"

>>112453
“I’m right fuckin’ here mate”

>>112453
"She would not want them to bicker, but she never took to kindly to insults...."

>>112447
"Alicorns aren't that great,especially celestia."

>>112455
“Then you understand me”
She says, directly to Midnight

>>112456
Midnight quickly turns to face Dark Star
"We will see how your opinion stands once you can see the powers they grant to ponies faithful to them"
>>112457
"No, I do not."

>>112458
“So what is your issue?”

>>112455
>>112454
It's like Skies is talking to a wall.
(Not falling for it.)
"I assure you. Nothing will change after this and both you and her will only be angry at eachother, worsening the results of the mission. Do not fall for the bait."
>>112457
Iron simply facehoofs.
(I know I did this previously, but that does not mean you should follow my hoofsteps."

>>112459
"It seems you are the one with an issue, and your issue seems to be with Luna, am I wrong?"

>>112458
"Im not trying to insult you, i just never had a good experience with the Alicorns"

>>112461
“The fuck are you yabbering on about, web wing? I told Silver that the alicorns are still giving out bread and circuses, and then both you and the colt gang up on me.”
\r

>>112452
>>112456
Silver shrugs, not really wanting to start an argument. "I suppose you two would have to be in presence of one to understand: you just know there is something more about them that transcends other ponies."

>>112462
"I accept you apology, and I hope if your opinion does change, that I play no small part in it."
>>112463
Midnight simply coldly stares at the pegasus
"When do we start the mission?"

>>112465
“When you get over it”

>>112466
"I cannot get over your negative emotions towards Princess Luna for you, that is something only you can do."

>>112466
>>112468
Silver looks between the two squabbling ponies, eventually settling on looking at Midnight. "Midnight, it would be best to leave this alone. I understand you preceive attack on your Goddess and that you wish to defend her, but her beliefs do not make yours any less valid, nor do yours hers. And from more pragmatic outlook, it is not good idea to get into and hold grudge with party members just before vital mission, especially when you will be counting on each other."

>>112463
Iron chuckles at her wording.
(It is like she wants to be seen as a victim all the time.)

>>112468
“I don’t fucking have any negative emotions towards Princess Luna. I just don’t trust a government where the masses of the citizenry surrender their self determination to a Monarch who is of some strange race, and I certainly don’t trust anypony that has been cocooned by Changelings. Damn. You are reading far too much into a remark about lettuce.”

>>112470
“Keep your thoughts to yourself, loud mouth”

>>112469
"Silver is right."

>>112471
Iron chuckles some more.
>>112468
He turns to Midnight, patting her on the shoulder.
"Trust me. It is not worth it. You will not change her mind nor you will properly defend the name of your deity because this is a losing game where nopony wins."

>>112469
"Fine."
>>112471
Midnight simply ignores her comments.

Skies stands up, goes a foot or so back, then says as if placing emphasis on every syllable
“I. Have. To. Go. Check. With. Cus-toms”

She places a hoof on Dark Star’s shoulder
“Dark Star, you are now the representative of the civilian Governate and the technical leader of this mission. Give me the signal should we meet“

>>112475
"I uh...What?"

>>112475
Silver gives Skies a concerned look at her announcement. "Hey, Skies? Be safe, alright? I will see you later."

>>112475
Iron shrugs.
(Oh well, there she goes again. I do not know how she got her position with that bad attitude of hers.)
>>112474
He pats Midnight's shoulder.
"You did the smart thing, Midnight."

>>112478
"No... I did not..."
She looks away, but doesn't cower away from the touch.

“No. Don’t give me that bullshit. I wasn’t talking to you, and then you had to but in like moral busybody saying something about ‘don’t disrespect what ever. You insolent fuck, you wouldn’t know respect if it literally smacked you upside the head. You are the last pony on the planet to ever tell any pony what is it is not respectful. Have a good life.”

Dark star walks over to her and hugs her
"Ok, I Wan't you to be safe though."

>>112480
Iron remains stoic, ignoring her once again.
(Seems she can read minds now. I hope it works with the griffons, too. Should be a cakewalk to enter if they have a codephrase.)
:^)
>>112479
"Yes, you did. Trust me. No good would have come from that."

>>112481
>>112479
>>112476
The ponies are left in the same conundrum they started with. How do they enter the building?

>>112483
Weren't we supposed to go by sea?
I thought that was already agreed upon.

>>112483

"We Should approach from the north."

>>112485
Iron nods.
"Sounds good."

>>112485
"I hold no strong opinions on this matter, I will just follow."

>>112485
Silver nods.

Time to execute

>>112473
>>112482
You know what? Fuck you. And fuck yourself with a cactus dildo

Maybe I will join this thing. I will probably try to be in both since I am offically part of that other campaign now.

I haven't decided yet. I am thinking about if I even have time to be part in the first one. So we will se if I join you guys.

Of course this is under the premise that you let me join.

>>112491
It could get messy. GM will probably private message you and you'll iron out the details.
Be careful, for words have a lot more power here, and sometimes words collide, and badly

>>112492
The way you say things are a bit too mystical for me to understand perhaps if you provided and example of what you mean.

All I said is that I might be interested but I haven't decided yet. I honestly was more expecting someone to tell me that my post was pointless than anything else.

>and sometimes words collide, and badly
I assume you are refering to starting drama. Yet, I feel like if showing interest is enough to cause drama, then everyone needs to calm down.

But I guess, I thank you for your forewarning?

>>112494
>?
Okay, apologize for the sarcasm. I do actually appriciate that you take your time to make a newfag get aquinted with the way of things. It was just that what you said made me roll my eyes and think, "Whoa, edgy."

It is nice of you.

>>112495
>>112494
s]That's because this game leans towards edginess sometimes.
In any case, your attempt of entering is indeed not an issue. in fact GM is jumping with joy for getting a new player. It's advice to help you adjust expectations for your character. You may get into arguments quickly and they can get messy.

Don’t mind the Argentina Anon. He’s projecting private thoughts about the way the last session exploded more so than the general way of things.

We would love to have you! This campaign is set in Equestria in a recursive fan fiction based upon the Equestria at War mod, for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron 4. Its a bit more of a technological and lower magic setting, with human history and the horror genre especially being among its influences

In this world, things go differently with the plan we see in the season 6 finale, resulting in the Changelings remaining in their unreformed state and being excluded from the later Friendship School. Thanks tons combination of local political and economic factors, as well as discontent with Princess Twilight’s new way of running things, after the passage of some years, an Equestrian colony state in Griffonia breaks away, and tries to establish its own empire with captive markets for its goods by conquering a few of the smaller griffin nations. The Equestrian Princesses see this as antithetical to the new world they are trying to establish, with an equality of races and every nation having a seat at the table, so they declare war without actually waging a serious war effort. But to Equestria’s West, the never defeated Chrysalis did not remain idol. Rather than make a relatively small attack that could be stopped by a relatively small number of heroes, Chrysalis would attack in a swarm of steel, using mass numbers and new technology to tip the odds in her favor. The invasion cane, and became bogged down by the heavy resistance of an Equestria partially mobilized for war. However, the Equestrian break away state took advantage of the redeployment of the Equestrian navy and troops away from the Equestrian east, and towards the changelings in the west. They invaded across the sea, and stormed into Equestrian cities, under the claim that Equestria started the war and they were simply occupying Equestrian land to keep it under pony control before the weak state could fall in its entirety to the Changelings. Equestria was split and occupied.

This campaign takes place in occupied Equestria. The main group is currently located in the Equestrian East coast city of Baltimare, the New Mareland occupied zone. Another slightly smaller group is much further north in Whinnysota in the Changeling occupied zone on its own quest there. The campaign as a whole mostly centers around the political power vacuum left by the fall of the Equestrian monarchy, including the threat of communist insurgency, a looming Changeling invasion and ever present infiltration, scandalous local politicians, powerful criminal gangs and crime syndicates, the remains of ancient necromancers thought sealed away, a moralistic college professor who seeks to unleash ancient gods to force a return if the age of heroes, ponies just trying to survive under Changeling occupation, and in the most recent case, criminal cartels from Griffonia who try to traffic creatures.

This is a level five, soon to be level six, campaign. Any new class you choose will be nice, although only unicorns can do arcane magic, divine magic has some restrictions based upon the setting, and I don’t do Psionics.

Anypony is welcome.

>>112497
Dude. Stop.

>>112491
It really is a fun campaign. Every decision is important. The GM gives us very well crafted NPCs for even the smallest of side quests and enemies.

Recently I was attacked by some changelings and after two were killed, two surrendered. Now the decision came to if I would kill them or spare them. So far, they don’t like me because I had killed their friends and damaged them, but they have names and I gave them nicknames, they interact with me and each other, and they have decided to join me and a few other players on our quest under the promise that the changelings would forgive them for abandoning the assault on the Crystal Empire. So now I’m trying to get them to like me, despite them having every reason to hate me. As far as I can tell, there are no mindless goon enemies. Only opposing NPCs with their own goals, history, and justification for why they oppose you.

Amazing stuff. Our GM cares about every character interaction and story. This makes your decisions a bit more difficult, but way more rewarding. Right now the party is split, though we are trying to get our quests solved so we can rejoin.

>>112498
Would the new guy get to choose which part of the party he joins, or do you have something in mind?

>>112491
I think we'd all love to have a new player if you'd want to join. Not sure what else I'd say about the campaign, but the GM absolutely loves roleplay and story. He's also been really nice about giving leeway for character backgrounds or to help build the history and lore of the world.

I don’t know if anypony wanted to declare any actions or do anything, but you can try

>>112513
In the Baltimare sector, we need Midnight and Star before we can try anything, since the mission is at the verge of starting, since we know what to do and where will we start.
>>112512
...eeeeeee...

>>112514
I don't know, I'd think a lack of Blue Skies might change things.

>EEEEEEEing without me

Midnight stands up and begins to walk from the table
"Excuse me, there is something I must do."
She trots out of the bar, and looks for Blue Skies on the street.

>>112515
True, but I'm not sure how deep we need to go or how much sneaking do we really need.
At best, we simply need to go near the scouting area and roll Gather Information to perhaps find a secluded spot to enter, like the sewers they've mentioned some time ago or a secret Griffon members only path when they 'bring in the goods'. At worst, we'll have to enter guns (or hooves) blazing.
I honestly am not sure how deep should we go or if it is a mere scouting mission.

>>112516
She’s there, walking out the door, shortly after bitching at Iron one last time

>>112518
"Skies wait! I have something to say!"
She trots up next to the pegasus.

>>112519
Her ears come down, and point back, kind of in the direction of the Bat pony, and she tilts her head slightly back. Her eyes come back to the approaching bat, and she says
“Yes?”

>>112520
Midnight suddenly hugs the pegasus
"I am sorry about arguing with you, I should have known to stop earlier"
