Welcome back to Occupied Equestria
Dark Star, Silver, Iron, and Midnight continue their investigation and hopefully, the take down of a group of organized criminals who have taken up operations at an old fortress on the sea shore. They have already rescued a number of creatures and persuaded them to join in their efforts. Now, they most hope that they can strike with enough force, and quickly enough, to destroy the evil that has taken up residence there.
Up in the North, the ponies are waking up, ready for a new day

We found where the majority of guards are. We're making plans on how to deal with them without dying.

Iron can't process the metaphor he inadvertly placed on the table, giving her a blank, confused look before shaking his head.
"I believe we will need some stealthy takedowns."

I have to be honest, but I don't trust the team to be able to take down 24 griffons, not to mention more than 10.

Iron hums a bit before looking at Mala and back at her.
"Sneak up on Mala and poke his ear without him noticing you."

She nods to him, slowly, and develops a sly grin. She stands there at first, doing nothing, until it happens that Mala turns his head. Then she slowly, casually, walks back around Mala, slowly placing her hooves down, and doing so by pressing down the tip of the hoof before the remainder. She walks around him to his left side, stands there for a second, then lifts a hoof up and
*tap*
"Whoop!"
Mala runs forward several feet, then looks back at what startled him

Iron can't help but chuckle at Mala's display, nodding at Sands eagerly.
"You definitely have the capability to do so."
He beckons Mala over with a smile.
"Do not worry. It was I who did it."

Iron gestures him not to come if he wants to.
"It was merely an act of jest."
He walks next to Sands with a goofy smile.

Iron merely chuckles again.
"It is alright."
He pats Sands on her back lightly, before turning serious.
"Do you notice in here any spots where ponies can hide in?"

Sneaky reference to the building's previous nature.
Iron nods, smiling.
"Good. We need to find a particular spot where all of us can hide in so we can all form an ambush area. Could you point me where that place could be?"

Knowing most weapons are melee oriented if stealth is wanted, Iron formulates his plan.
"I want to catch unawares any guard or griffon that patrols or simply strolls around the hallways without a care in the world. Preferrably, it should be at a distance where melee weapons can be effective without them alerting the others."
Not to mention maybe having to separate into groups~

“And you want to.... do what with them?”
Blue Skies, the eternal eavesdropper, adds a comment of her own,
“According to the design information, there should be a second floor railing that would overlook the ground floor. Same with the third floor”
>>118109
Now he’s definitely smiling, and even wiggles his tail

Iron shrugs.
"Thin their numbers to make fighting the rest easier."
He nods at Skies' comment.
"I assume that could be useful if we wanted to pick targets off at range. Maybe you and Sands could open fire when the guards are alerted of the melee ponies' presence, but I need both of your cunning to properly set the others up in good ambush locations."
Iron shrugs.

“If you knew where you wanted the sword fighters, and you had bow mares at range in protected areas, that could help take on many of them”
She smiles
“Of course if you want to take them out one by one, I may be able to help...”
It’s not clear if Skies, with the body of a griffin, is exceptionally physically attractive by griffin standards or not, but something in her smile suggests she could milk it for all it’s worth

Iron strokes his chin for a bit.
"Alright. You convinced me, but do not start just yet. I still need to find a good spot for you to lure griffons into."
He decides to look around the hallways for any spare rooms, corners and furniture to set up a good ambushing position near him.

He decides to check on the small room used by guards first.
(Maybe this will be the most spacious and filled with hiding spots for an ambush.)

Iron is a bit taken aback as to how empty the room is, walking out with a small pout.
He tries the bedroom next to check for any ambushing spots.

Not empty, just not full of tall grass or jugle brush that would allow ambushes
The bedroom has the bed itself, maybe a dresser or curtains, but in general is mostly open and makes jumping out difficult

Iron huffs in apparent frustration, hoping that maybe the storage closet has a lot more places to hide.
(Who knows? Maybe the bathrooms are the best spot to ambush on.)

The closet, likewise, has a simple layout. Certainly one can pop out. What is harder, is getting someone in the room, while hiding somewhere else in the room, without the new entrant knowing the other is hiding elsewhere in the same room. Most of these designs are too simple to enable that, except maybe minor furniture like desks

Now this is a more complex structure. It has closed stalls off to the left with sinks on the far side, and over to the right are public shower spaces, including white plastic curtains

He beckons Sands and Skies over to the bathrooms to test the hiding spots out.
"Could you both enter the shower space and close the curtains? I want to test how well these things will cover us as well as how spacious they are."

That's it?
Iron really wants to know how well they're hidden by the curtains.
"Are you both comfortable in there?" he asks the two rogue-ish mares.

"I mean... There's standing space"
The curtains are translucent, and allow a silhouette to be seen on the other side when close, but they are harder to see when standing further away from the curtain

Iron nods to himself, before coming over to their shower space and moving off the curtains to see how spacious it really is.

It’s a strange situation, as not everyone in the group is made fir combat, nor can they be hid easily. The possibility if some creature stumbling upon Meadows, for example, standing in the hallway, is rather high

"I want you two to tackle me from there to ensure that more than one pony can succeed in coming out ready to dish out the pain from your position."
Iron shrugs as his deep stab is apparent on his side.
"I will be fine. Do not worry."

Iron glances at Silver.
"While that may be true, it does not hurt to try more spacious spaces, especially since we have bigger ponies to hide."
>>118154
Iron nods with certainty
"I do not wish to take the chance that more than one pony inside this space may trip over eachother if they try to pounce on the target at the same time."

With a grin, Iron readies his body against Sands' lunge with the slightest changes to his posture.

And so, Iron readies himself, presumably by spreading his legs a little further apart.
If Sands had a little more weight to her, greater speed, possibly a height advantage, or more of an element of surprise, she may well have knocked Iron off his hooves. Yet none of that is present here. She hits Iron like a solid wall. Her forehooves spread over his pack, she lands on him with an “Uph!” Then kind of twists around, and falls off.
For Iron, it’s like being beaten with a very large pillow

Iron extends a foreleg to soften Sands' fall, making her land safely on the ground.
He nods approvingly, smiling.
"That was quite good. Now go back to the showers, please."
He turns to Skies.
"I want both you and Sands to attempt the tackle. I want to see if there is any issue from charging from the shower space at the same time. You can start the countdown if you so desire to have a better flow."

She frowns back at Dark Star
>>118160
Iron extends a hind leg out to under where Sands falls. Her rump lands on this hind leg, which bends a little under the weight, and Sand’s ingloriously staffers and stands back up. She looks back with vague offense at the directive “back to the showers,” but seems to do so nevertheless
>>118160
“Because I’m so excited to have a part in that... anyways, I think the curtains would be more of a hinderance, getting in the way, possibly being torn down, and blocking the view of the target

Iron nods.
"If you are not going to do it, it is alright. You do not have to go into the showers again, Sands. Good job, by the way. I am pretty sure I would have been swept off my hooves if I had not seen it coming."
He ponders for a bit, walking towards Sands and giving her a stroke on her mane as he thinks.
"I see the issue. However, we can easily position either Silver, Mala or I on the stall closest to the door and cut off any escape, and I do not think a scream in here is going to be heard that much."
Iron nods.

Iron nods while he takes out the pick Skies gave him for to clean up Sands' mane from the nassty, messy and unruly hairs.
"The more the merrier. Not to mention it decreases the amount of griffons we have to take out later."

"Overrun any griffon you attract here, hopefully the strongest first. Damage their overall strength. If we can take them alive for questioning, it is a plus in making things easier to prosecute and stop."
Iron turns his attention to the mean hairs, combing the messiness out of her hair.

It's not as red as her bright but light red mane
"I wasn't saying that either. Maybe you'll get some good information out quickly, just be ready for risks like them alerting others, or being found later."
Sands smiles back at him in a very warm way, and party lowers her eyelids. She leans her head slightly into his hoof
>>118172
Skies lowers her head slightly and looks up to Dark Star with her sly grin, a grin that carries even more malice in her griffin body
