A new Role-playing game, using mechanics from DnD 3.5, and the Universe of My Little Pony and the My Little Pony based mod for Hearts of Iron 4, Equestria at War. The setting is an industrialized Equestria after the nation has been split between The Changeling Empire and former Equestrian colony.

Sounds neat. So is it a boardgame or electronic? Also, Equestria no longer exists and the Changelings won? Tell us more about the story.

Lol, it's a roleplaying game to be played here on /vx/, essentially D&D, as that is the mechanics I will be using.
This story features an alternative timeline where Chrystalis, rather than doing the grand infiltration she did in the two part season finale of Season 6, unified a set of changeling hives, developed more modern weaponry, and attacked Equestria in force. Meanwhile, on the continent of Griffonia, the Equestrian colony of New Mareland suffered a Great Depression, excessive griffon immigration, and threats from griffon nations after the chaos caused by the fall of the Griffonian Empire. They declared Indepence, and installed a Pony Nationalist government called the Black Hooves. They invaded several smaller griffon nations, causing Equestria to declare war on them. When the Changelings invaded, New Mareland invaded the opposite side of Equestria, and ultimately Equestria was defeated and split down the middle.
This story takes place in the New Mareland occupied zone in the area of Baltimare, the Forbidden Jungles (of Daring Do), and the Dragon isle. It features both magic and modern weaponry from around the Interwar period.
It features a number of factions, including Communist Rebels, ponies who want to restore the Equestrian Monarchy, Changeling spies, and the New Mareland government. Further south in the forbidden Jungles, there are Bandits, Natives, Settlers, and Industrialists trying to develop the forests. This is of course besides the Chimera, Manticores, and so forth that one is liable to run into

I guess we're starting now?
Okay, my character comes towards wherever-the-fug the exposition is centered, dragging a cart. She's cliaked in a dress that covers her mane and head, not unlike that of a Catholic nun; it appears to be rather a rather plain and formal attire, as though she were dressed for Sunday Mass.
The cloaked figure is dragging a small cart with a canvas tarp draped over it, and is slowly making her way towards the center of attention with slow, tired steps. By her head floats a cane made of gnarled, laqured wood, suspended in the air by magick as she slowly but drags her payload.

Well, I don't think i will let any players start the game already in possession of a firearm other than a break-action rifle, anyways....
Before you stands the Grand Baltimare Hotel. 5 stories tall, the brick building is the tallest of the Baltimare City Square, and follows a model of Architecture popular in the 950's. Of course, it's not the "Grand Baltimare Hotel" anymore. The windows on the upper levels are sealed shut and closed, and the lower level has a small section of cast iron fencing around it. This is now the Headquarters of the Black Hooves in the Baltimare Autonomous District, and a new sign has (finally) been placed above the entrance to reflect that.
To the side of the steps that lead up to the entrance are two Griffons, one with a rust red feather coloration, and the other with black. They are tall and mean looking as Griffons tend to be. One is smoking, and both are wearing tan military uniforms, complete with “Brodie” metal helmets. Each carries a rifle in their claws, some sort of Karbiner of foreign manufacture. Up the steps, and by the door, are two ponies, one a lavender Earth pony and the other a white Unicorn who stand immediately by the door. They wear full black outfits that resemble police officer’s uniforms, but much darker. They wear caps that resemble officer’s caps, and while neither carries a gun, at least one can be seen to have a handgun in holster.

The gangway to the steamer is drops down onto the dock. The [i]Serene Traveller was a medium sized ship that carried as much or more mail and spices as passengers, but at least a hundred ponies, zebras, and other assorted races walked down on the docks. As you walk down, a Sailor directs you and all passengers to go through Customs.
At the customs house, you stand in line and eventually walk up to a tan Unicorn in Green uniform and with a black cap. He looks down at your cart, and says “looks like you have some items to declare.” He casts a spell on you. “Please give truthful responses to the following questions.”
He asks you in sequence the following questions. Please give answers to each in order
“What is your name?”
“What is your place of origin?”
“For What purpose do you come to the Baltimare Autonomous Region?”
“How long do you intend to stay? If you intend to stay indefinitely, answer that your purpose is ‘immigration’.”
“Are you currently or have you ever been a member of the communist party of any nation, or have you ever been a member of any left-wing political organization of any nation that seeks the establishment of a workers state by means of violent revolution?”
“Are you an Anarchist? That is, do you believe in the overthrow of the government by means of violence or assassination of public officials?”
“Are you or have you ever been a member of the Reformitsen parties of Hellquil or Longsword, or have you ever been a member of an organization that perpetrates genocide against ponies?”
“Finally, have you been infected with a vile or infectious disease in the past six months?”

Does he have a long, heavy night of sulking in misery planned?

Eh, I'll set out the next scene. As you go up to the door, a black uniformed guard stops you, and pats you down for weapons.
You tell the guard that you want to join, and he directs you to a unicorn on the far left after you enter.
When you enter the first floor, you see an open lobby with a pair of marble counters, including of course, the unicorn on the far left. In the lobby are a few people walking by. A pair of ponies come down stairs, and in the corner, a minotaur in Tan stands with a submachine gun in strap hanging over his shoulder

The one who is smoking looks up at you, and pauses for a moment to take out his cigarette.
"It's party headquarters, yes"

The minotaur looks at you with a kind of surprise. The mailman is even more surprised.
You may now approach the unicorn, who is sitting on a chair behind the counter. He is a very dark blue, and wears a black vest. His horn is covered in gold plate two thirds above the base, almost like a tooth filling. You can see that his left foreleg is actually a metal prosthetic. His Rear right leg is likewise prosthetic, missing below the thigh. Where his cutie mark should be on his left is a pink and tan area of hairless hide, as it it were burned off. On his right flank, you can see a cresting wave cutie mark

You are not drunk yet

"Thank you. This one is my Zaphian campaign medal, this is my Hellquil campaign medal, this is wounded in action..." he lists like 5 of these
>>67972
"Since you've come by here before, we can start the process. Follow me"
He gets up and makes a nad signal to a pony across the room. You notice this pony has great difficulty walking. He uses unicorn magic to move up his rear leg, and his front is stiff. He also seems to have pain with unicorn magic. The gold plate sparks a couple times.
He gets out from behind the counter, and walks into the lobby, over towards a stairwell
"Follow me up here. We need to do a test, then ask you some questions"

The cloaked mare smiles warmly beneath her shawl, as she slowly pulls back the tarp of her rickety old cart, using the tip of her gnarly cane.
The tarp falls away to reveal a cart filled mostly with fruits (bananas, leches, oranges, etc). Among the goods like a collection of medicinal herbs, of a rather old-fashioned variety. There appear to be several simple cloth dolls and wooden knick-knocks, pickles, candied fruits and other mundane goods, including a copiuous amount of Chinese medicine balls.
"Medicine, for the children.."
A magical glow gently picks a sealed red envelope (stamp included). On the outside of the package is a note to reveal that the envelope contains a letter of credit: a rather large donation addressed to a poverty center in the city.
"And expenses.. All I can afford to give."

He walks down a hallway on the second floor, making you walk in front of him. He comes to a room where a white Griffon with, well, "sharper" features than normal stands. The Griffon opens the door.
"Go on in, this is the location. Please sit in that chair over there"
You are in what appears to have been a hotel room, with part of a wall taken out and a mirror placed in. In the room is a green earth pony in Black, who seems to be missing a hind-leg and has a prosthetic. He carries an automatic pistol in his mouth. The griffon stands on a separate side from you, and is holding a submachine gun

"Uh, I'm going to put you down as answering 'no' to
questions 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Alright mam, it appears that you are eligible to enter Baltimare under an immigration visa. We'll make an ID for you and a visa, but as for your cart..... Well, I think we are going to need a customs officer to take a deeper look at that, if you wouldn't mind parting with it for an hour or so."
"But now, could you please follow me? we are going to have to do a mandatory test on you. Please don't be startled by the armed guards, this is only a precaution."
She directs you to go into another room to your right, as officers pull the cart away. A Red and Blue flag hangs, with a separate flag of red and blue stripes with a diamond shape, and two horseshoes in the center, one on top of the other and the top one upside down

In this new room there is a sectioned off area. Two ponies with green uniforms stand, with three blue uniformed officers stand over to the side spread out. One of the blue uniformed officers approaches her
"You must be restrained for the duration of the test." She places what are essentially handcuffs on the kirin's forehooves, then back off. You can see that the three ponies have now drawn pistols and are aiming them at her
"Look into my eyes," says a green uniformed pony. He pulls out a flash light, and aims it into the kirin's eyes. "Don't blink."
He does this to each eye for a number of seconds, and then turns the light off.
"Alright, we are done."
He makes a hand signal to the blue uniformed officers, and they put their guns down. One comes and takes the hoof cuffs off.

Onyx steel works in a commercial area that is not far from several markets. Across the street is a normal grocery market, as well as a delicatesin. Instead of either of these, he goes to a much poorer bakery. He sees a pony outside that looks like a young colt, with a black coat, grey mane, and wearing red vest. He says to passers by
"Why should our taxes go to foriegn imperialists? Our landowners and facotory owners get rich off our product. Why can we only afford to buy bread when they live lives of luxury? Fellow workers of the world, I tell you not the Princess nor the Black Hooves nor the monstrous changelings have the interests of the working class in mind"

"Why should our taxes go to foriegn imperialists? Our landowners and facotory owners get rich off our product. Why can we only afford to buy bread when they live lives of luxury? Fellow workers of the world, I tell you not the Princess nor the Black Hooves nor the monstrous changelings have the interests of the working class in mind"

"Maybe he's right..."

"Aye mate, I see you know something already. Now let me ask you a few questions"
The Unicorn looks at Dark Star
"Do you swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth?"
He casts magic on Dark Star (zone of truth)
"Why do you want to join the Black Hooves?"
"How do you feel about Priness Celestia?"
"How do you feel about Griffons?"
"Are you a Communist?"
>>67990
The little colt actually wags his tail in an adorable way, and hands onyx hoof a pamphelt
"Hello fellow worker? What's your name? You look like a crystal pony. Are you from the Crystal empire?"

"Alright, it looks like we have you cleared. As for your cart, well! I don't think you've ever heard of 'the Gastly blight' but it kills the hell out of citrus fields. We are going to have to confiscate your fruit - the bananas, oranges, all of it - and burn it. You, however, are free."

>>68010
Ghastly blight is a fungus that affects many species of fruit bearing trees and plants. It is native to Zebrica and afflicts plants there, including causing multiple famines. It has more recently spread to Equestrian shores, and has already caused thousands of acres of many fruit trees to die, and need to be burned in containment. It does not yet threaten the trees and wildlife of the Forbidden jungles - the trees are well spaced apart, unlike in fruit orchards. Baltimare has ennacted customs requirements on fruit as a precaution to protect it's local industry
>>68009
"I see, who is he and where did this happen? Did you contact the local police?"
>>68011
"Here you go, that'll be three bits. You know, what that kid says about the Princess is utterly disgraceful."

I think one of my spells could fix that. They probably wouldn't believe her if she fixed it though...
The Kirin mare seems visibly disappointed by the loss of the fruit she had planned to donate, but sits patiently and does not argue with the guards. With what remains of her humble dowry, she makes her way to the orphanage with her delivery.

The kirin walks forward into the city from the Customs house. She can see many walking around, buildings of 3 to 6 stories, and many carriages. More than one Automobile and Truck goes through the streets, faster than the horse drawn carriages and seeming sort of dangerous. But they are the exception, not the rule. the city is much bigger and more urban and industrialized than she is used to. Mostly it appears clean. Mostly. The city is not, however, quite what she had expected. it is less impressive than the images she sees of Manehattan, appearing smaller, with shorter buildings, and fewer factor stacks. It does, however, look like it is probably host to a number of disadvantaged ponies

"You need only know them as "red" and "Black." He hands over two images of griffons. Despite having similair color schemes to the two griffons outside the building, they seem distinct looking. In fact, you have to notice that the griffons you have seen look kind of.... diverse.

The colt happily prances forward. You can see he was actually a decent way away from the shop. The shop is a flower establishment, and when he walks through the door, he gets a face full of pollen, and can see the Stallion who the colt says is his father: A tan Pegasus who looks a bit older and with a beard. When he moves, he seems to have a sort of limp, as if he had an injury to his side or his hip

"Right down this way."
Sister Marery goes first into the room. The children seem to be frightened. They are actually hiding underneath covers.
"It's okay little ones, it's not the Stallions from the Harbor. You can come out. This is Sister Ash, she comes from the East and has brought goods for us." The little colts and fillies come out. They look kind of malnourished, actually, and the clothing they have looks used
"We really can't say how grateful we are."
A little tan colt comes up to Ash
"What are you supposed to be exactly?"
A fillie pokes at her scales
>>68068
"You here for the Florist job?"

The envelope is rather gaudy, laced with chinese symbols like the envelopes given to children on new years (pic related). Inside is a considerable amount of money, worth more than 9000 bits. It should be enough to pay off the mortgage for he church, and pay for any renovations necessary.
"My sisters pooled the last of our resources for this package. Our temple has been all but disbanded in these past few years; it's the least we could do to offer what we had left to the needy.."
She looks somewhat gloomy
".. I have no place to return to.. I can only beg your hospitality, and pledge to you my services."

"So tell me. Ya not a follower of Celestia are ya?'

The colt sits him down in the flower shop. A couple customers come in or out, mostly buying for funerals and grave sites... or something. He's actually not entirely sure what people buy flowers for. The colt seems to spend time helping water flowers and the like, or checking petals for damage and so forth, and putting price tags on things. Onyx sits there for like an hour. The Stallion tells him his name is Petal Prancer, and tells Onyx far more than he could ever want to know about flowers

Well, I must say that you've come to the right place.
East of Main street, between the Harbor and the city square, lies the oak branch apartments. This was a very nice part of town with nice little shops on the first level and apartments above them. However, the nothern section had it's roof cave in after being hit by Naval artillery fire. The southern portion has a smaller hole in it's roof, but was abandoned for some reason. Something about an unexploded 500 lbs bomb in the basement, I don't know, normies are superstitious in their understanding of what is and is not a safe place to live. Anyways, it has several rooms that are actually not water damaged, even if all of the windows on the first floor have been broken by looters. Thanks to an abundance of abandoned buildings in Baltimare, you may not even have to share it.
And if you don't like that, there are more

The guy leans over and looks at him
"I don't think you're the kind of guy who wants a nice bar. I think you want one as rugged as you are"

He lays there, unable to sleep as his mind is racing.

The main portion of the orphanage includes a kitchen, a common area, a play area for the younger fillies and colts, and all of the room. The colts and fillies are of every race, mostly children who lost parents to disease, crime, or the War. The orphanage is definitely full, but seems as if it has fewer foals than sister mary's description of the situation would imply. The sisters act with extreme distrust to stragers, and many of the foals hide when Ash walks into the room, but warm to her almost immediately.
The building is attached to a nunnery, which includes multiple classrooms where nuns teach the children. There is a chapel that always has nuns praying to the Princesses, with nice stained glass windows, besides dorms an such for the sisters. Out back, there is a garden with edible plants, and a small graveyard

As stated before, the foals tend to be reticent, and the Sisters tend to avoid her or move away. Sister Marery starts to accompany her as she walks around to tell them "It's okay" and "she's not from the waterfront. They seem much nicer after that.

The grey Earth pony enters the tavern, and sees several ponies drinking and talking to each other, some rather loudly.
Well, I will say that the original intent of the game was to have everypony stay in the region of South-East Equestria, and meet up to go on quests. Right now there are 5 seperate characters, including yours, doing their own things going on adventures. I don't mean to say your pony can't go to a tavern and look for crews to join, then go to new Mareland and have his own adventure, just that I have a seperate tavern scene for another character, a nunnery for another character, and so forth so my creativity is just a bit stretched. In a standard D&D setting you generally tell one story that 4 or 5 people are all a part of.
We love to have you, and I think you should flesh out your character a bit more. Perhaps you want to create stats for him? That helps with Fighting and dice rolls

The gray stallion deflated at such magnitudes of ponies dazzling about, clearly lost among the mass of ponies. There must be an easier way to travel at New Mareland.

No rush; the DM isn't even here. Your character sounds pretty cool.

Ok, so I know I have 19 STR and 13 Con for earth pony trait, also took some perks for unarmed exclusively. Put some points in jump, climb, move silently and hide. (+1, +1, +0,5, +0,5 respectively) Will add another feat for my race, taking Stunning Fist if possible. If not, I'll take Combat Reflexes. Am I doing this right or am I missing something?

That's for sure. I added 8 points already by the creator, but it seems to add by 0.5. So should I add 48 more skill points?

I’m not sure you want to use that color scheme. Or use it, see what happens.
>>68316
That will work, just please note that fighters only have 2 skill points per level plus 8 at the beginning. With an intelligence modifier of -1 plus your cutie mark skill points, you only have 16 skill points, 8 of which must be in one skill that relates to the character’s cutie mark.
Also, a character who is s native pony of the forbidden jungles is a splendid choice

You only get a 1/1 ratio of skills/points on class-specific skills. Cross-class skills advance at 2/1. For a fighter, that includes things like moving silently, which is predominantly a rogue skill

Thank you.
So after the first 8 from normal D&D I put 8 more limited to cutie mark relevance. Then I have the rest of the skill points to distribute as I please or I just have 16 points total?

You have only 16 total if we strictly adhere to the rules for the fighter class. That other player with 56 points is playing a Ranger, which has more skill points

I'd rather do it in-game. It's a rather simple name, fitting for a tribe name. But I can show how he looks like.

I haven't thought very far into detail in terms of backstory, but I think i:'ve got my character's traits semi figured out.
I decided she would have come to the city because it would be the logical place to find impoverished ponies. She's only concerned with helping the poor, in addition to natural creatures.
I'll expand on how her dispositions cane to be later on, as she interacts with other characters.

He looks astonished, as he was apparently expecting something different.
"Rope... There is a hardware store on Mareton Hoofer King Avenue that sells rope. As for Rats.... You may find those wondering about in trashcans on the same street at no cost."

>>68279
Sister Marery seems to have shut herself up now
>>68294
Oh God....
When he gets to the East side tavern he can see a few ponies there. In the corner a jolly stallion in a sailor's uniform speaks to an older wealthy looking fellow with a fine unicorn mare next to him, lost in a conversation. At the bar, the bartender yells something about his help being three hours late, as a Brown, overly edgy earth pony walks in and head to the bar. Besides ponies playing pool and so forth.
>>68288
The Policemares grab onto him and walk him to the Police Station. Everytime he moves his forehoof, he feels a sharp pain, which the policemares do not fail to notice. They take him into a room with a table, and set him down. He is left alone for two minutes, and a Unicorn stallion, light grey coat comes in, along with a pink pegasus mare with a blue cap. The Stallion says to him
"You are not under arrest at this time, we just have a few questions for you"
He looks at you. "Do you perhaps need something to handle your pain?"
>>68293
I know alignment is normally a big part of D&D mechanics, especially in older systems like 3.5, but I am fine doing things differently. In a normal D&D campaign, you make a character, and that character reacts to the world thrown at it based upon its personality. Here, I kind of want to throw the characters into the world, and you make choices as they are presented, and the character becomes who the character is based upon the choices made. That's the hope anyways

"A few hundred bits, depending on your preferences.
"What we have in stock are a few... Army surplus vests. Nylon fabric with steel plates woven in, used by Equestrian pilots in the war as protection against shrapnel. They've become somewhat popular among wealthy ponies who think themselves possible targets of crime. They will not stop a rifle bullet, but they might stop a knife or fragment of shrapnel.
I cannot tell you it will feel like you are wearing nothing at all. You will feel the weight on you, it will make you a little less maneuverable, and a little harder to jump or swim. But you may just be able to fit one underneath your jacket without any pony noticing."

He takes you into the back into another room. It has several suits of armor. He picks up a green vest. It has a little thickness to it, but doesn't look heavy when he holds it.
"This one here is a... fairly standard airman's jacket, against the Changeling air-defense guns. It is mostly heavy Nylon, with some steel plating. Around 12 pounds, not too bulky or heavy. It costs 300 bits."

"It can stop many knife attacks, yes. But I don't know if I can guarantee you a knife that hits solid into it won't pierce it. What I can tell you now that it will improve your odds against all manner of danger - artillery, knife, claw, and maybe a glancing or distant bullet. Many an airmare is alive today because of it."

Deciding to get accostumed to the city and earn some bits, the gray stallion seeks work as muscle for any pony willing to buy his service. He will do that on the outskirts of the Watering Hole, as the lack of space would bother him a bit.

*Approaches the bardtender*
"Eee <clears throat>.. I mean, I couldn't help but over-hear that you might be short-handed. I'm between jobs at the moment, and while I was hoping to find a drink, I could just as soon fill in for you."

"I definitely need the help. If you could clean tables and the floor *beat* that'd be very useful"
He hands over a wiping rag

You wonder if perhaps tales of the unemployment in baltimare are overrated, as a blue Earth pony gives out a holler
"We got a cargo that just came in in the harbor and our normal hooves can't handle it. Looking for ponies to unload the ship in the next few hours. 3 bits an hour"

"Excellent! I'm sorry, but we really are on a tight schedule. Go to that pony over there and he will take you down to the docks"
He directs you to a bigger Earth pony with a cap on who has a number of other ponies around him. He speaks in a gruff voice

The first table has only a few empty glasses on it, with a plate, so you guess there must have been food served or something? Anyways, it's totally unsuspicious to clean, and more importantly is right next to a booth containing the pegasus in the sailor's uniform, and an older stallion with his overly cute unicorn mare

Sister Ash's decides it's better for her not to pry into matters; instead she lowers her head in sympathy.
"I can see you have suffered.. you've been forced to make many difficult decisions. You have my sincere condolences.."
Then she turns around slowly, as she picks up her broom (I'm subbing the cane for a broom, because it fits her character better) to return to work.

The stallion follows.
"Why do you need help with this? You seem tough enough to move puny boxes around." He glances at the Captain dissapointedly, looking for any excuse as to why he'd need help for such a simple job. He also inspected the crew that had to move the cargo, maybe he's the only capable stallion around here.

After a bit of thought, he reluctantly nods. "I don't have anything else to do. I... "am in" as your folk say." His posture slouched a bit, annoyed as well. Here's hoping that these bits are worth the trouble. Guess life in this "cee-vee-li-sei-tion" is as boring as foraging. "Now, point me to the cargo and where to place it."

I feel like answering to this appropriately requires a knowledge (religion) check, on the subject of Celestia and Luna, to see what Sister Ash actually understands about Luna's dreamweaving.
Also, would non-Equestrians have experienced this too? Have *everyone's* dreams been messed up since Luna was captured?

The stallion walks you down to the docks, at least a half-mile past shops, then factories, then warehouses, to a specific dock.
"This one, right here."
He points his hoof to a red painted ship called the Swift Pheasant that seems to have itself only just arrived, as up-swells of water imply that maneuvering thrusters are on, and a crew seems to be throwing ropes over to moor the ship. You can see the the crew from a distance. Half are Earth ponies, but half are a creature you've never seen before in your life: what you understand to be 'griffons.' The registry below the ship name is "Skyfall." You can see more ponies - and a few zebra and one diamond dog - assembled in a group waiting to unload the ship. Your little group recruited in town joins with this group, and the Earth pony yells out to you:
"We got a few dozen crates to transfer before 3 PM, that's two hours from now. Half will go to that ship over there, and half will go by truck into town. Do as I tell you"
>>68376
Dreamweaving is the careful art of the Princess of the Night, Princess Luna, who crafts delicate dreams to her followers, most especially young foals who need the emotional support. With the power of her alicorn magic she visits a great multitude each night. The magic naturally responds to the emotions of each foal, and she gives the dream a more personal touch where a foal needs particular guidance or life lessons. Only Believers receive pleasant dreams from the Princess, while those who do not believe suffer nightmares and dreamless slumbers - a small taste of "what dreams may come" after death.

"Fine." He walks towards the crates. While it's a boring job, showing strength will earn respect. That much was truth at home. He'll carry as much as he can without breaking a sweat. He'll focus on transporting the half towards the floating metal hunk.
I'll post my load capacity over head here: "Lift over head: 400 lb". Heavy load is between that and 267. Also I'll place a strength roll just in case its needed, also practicing how to use the dice

And indeed, his strength in transporting crates is noticed. He can carry on his back crates that would otherwise take two ponies. A number of crates are transported first to a waiting truck that immediately leaves. The truck it's self is a a two and a half ton with a fabric canopy like an army logistics truck, and it leaves immediately. A few more crates now are hauled a thousand yards further down the docks to another much smaller ship called "The Jungle Express" with a Mareida registry.
As you come back for another crates, the two pegasi handling a crate being lowered by the crane shout "lookout!"
Roll for Reflex save!

A few more crates now are hauled a thousand yards further down the docks to another much smaller ship called "The Jungle Express" with a Mareida registry.
As you come back for another crates, the two pegasi handling a crate being lowered by the crane shout "lookout!"
Roll for Reflex save!

Sister Ash pauses for a moment, a subtle air of confusion then worry washing over her; her wishing she could understand the filly's turmoil more deeply. She retains her adamant composure though, taking a breath as the thinks of how to answer the filly.
"... Around the world.. ponies have been having difficult times.. Many ponies, even the Princesses, have been struggling to make ends meet, and you, me, and everypony in Equestria have been feeling it... But that's only for us grown-ups to worry about..."
She stops for a moment, hoping she hasn't disturbed the filly.
"...We all struggle together, which is why we have to think work are hardest to help one another. All of the sisters have been trying their best to let the foals in this Abby live happily together, so be a good little filly and do the same for your friends here.."
Another pause
".. Do you underdtand..?" she asks, tilting her head slightly counterclockwise.

He manages to roll out of the way of the falling crate, which crashes down on the docks and shatters. Wood break apart in splinters, and the contents come out: Rifles. Bolt action rifles of what seem to be a foreign manufacture. They must not have been made for ponies, because the trigger guard is much to small to allow a hoof inside, unlike the rifles with giant trigger guards that you've seen in the forbidden jungles. Many of the rifles spread about over the dock and two fall into the water
The deck foreman is horrified and yells "Get these up! Quickly!"

The little fillie seems put at ease, and is silent for a moment.
"I think I hear what you're saying" she says
"When we went down to the soup kitchen, there was a colt who said similar things, and so did the stallions who worked there." She continues "They told told us about the struggles we all face. The workers, the poor, the ophans. He said we were all united in a struggle. Every creature - pony, Zebra, Griffon." You can tell she wants to name another race, but can't actually name it. "You."
"The sisters won't let us go back there because she says she they spook bad about the church and about the Princesses."

Time for some paddling
The grey stallion jumped down into the water, intending to snatch those two rifles that had fallen down the dock. Time to show the strength of the Earth Pony.
I'll roll for swim first

Swim underwater and attempt to hide one of the bolt action rifles somewhere at the shore if possible. While he'd want to hide both, it would hurt his honor to just jump into water without any results.

Well, here's the thing. The shore has a concrete sea wall that lets ships come right up to it, and the dock itself is wooden in the pattern docks are famous for. So it's not perfectly clear where to hide it

Damn
After looking at his surroundings, he realised there's no way to actually hide these guns here, no land near shore to bury or any other dry patch to hide it in. Instead he simply decides to take both rifles and climb into the ship. No chance for profit from it, but at least he'll gain some renown... if these still work that is.

The deck foreman looks over to you and is clearly astonished for the feat of swimming, as he had already written off in his mind any cargo that fell over the side. He is speechless for a moment, then yells "Get these things up"
After a minute, some ponies come in with a new crate, and they start to place them inside

"I will," he starts walking towards the remaining crates "However, you almost broke a crate on me." He glares at the foreman. "While that would not have hurt me a lot, It still shows disrespect towards me, and I will not let you get away with that." He steps closer towards the foreman "I will take an eighth of the price the crate that almost fell over me or else I will challenge you to a fight for my honor." He is now right in front of the foreman "I will not let this stand down"

The Sister nods in understanding, setting her broom and dustpan aside to near down by the filly
"When times are hard, some ponies can be find it difficult to be gracious. They're so concerned for the sake of themselves and their friends that they sometimes stray and may lose faith in others. The Princesses of this land are struggling indeed, and they cannot offer so much of what they used to; so some ponies may feel that they're alone."
She pauses and looks around
"To the sisters of this Abby, who offer all they have for nothing, such words can be painful. But understand, that they only care for your well-being; so that you can know that you are loved."

From your position at the table, you can see that they are at a table in a booth, and seem to be talking about their own adventures of sorts. The Sailor in particular talks of his experiences in a recent stop at the City of Los Pegasus
"Now, don't misunderstand me. I went to the casinos there when Gladmane ran the place, and then when Flim and Flam ran it. I have great respect for those stallions and what they did with Los Pegasus. But this new Tasian, wow!
Hear this. Now you know dancing fillies and the like? Get this? Mares that change shape to look like any mare you like. A princess, an element of harmony, you name it. A perfect replica who will look at you with predatory eyes, let you take her back to the hotel room and do anything to her you like. For cheap too!"
The older stallion seems entranced by the concept of shape-shifting prostitutes. The mare seems to be able to hold back her disgust and revulsion at the two, and is the most drunk. She is focused on the stallion
>>68406
No, that dice roll was the other character's intimidation roll. He lost, you won, and he is retreating a little back. Now you chose what to say next

Well, hopefully I'm even more intimidating to obtain the dosh without a fight
"Well?" The stallion stands, forelegs bent, ready to strike. "Will you comply to my demands and restore my honor or will I have to fight you to prove my worth?". He snarls a bit, showing his teeth. "Because I will not tolerate my honor being tarnished."

The little fillie seems sated by this, and goes back to her room. A sister comes up to sister ash after 15 minutes or so
"Beggin' your pardon, but a - you're not from around here are ya?"
She knows that the next question is probably a bit insensitive and inappropriate, and maybe that's why she waited until she could find Ash alone
"What exactly do you believe when it comes to the divine?"
>>68409
"Interesting" He nods
"You were found walking down 6th street bleeding and with wounds, were you not?"

The foreman clearly does not want to pick a fight with a stronger, native pony, and backsaway. A mare walks forward from the shore, with a hat and a long jacket
"I take it you're not from around here, are you kid?" She says confidently

"Do not interfere, mare," his heads snaps towards the intruding mare. "He has almost killed me by the incompetence of his crew and now I seek retribution for his deed. I will not be trampled on by one who only contols a floating hunk of metal." He looks towards the stallion again. "Now, do you comply, or do I have to fight?"

She looks back at him and smiles
"Accidents happen, and not every crane operator is worth his pay. Now, I don't think you understand who runs this show. This stallion here is my underling, and you are his underling. And this, here, is my cargo. And those pegasi who dropped the crate, are somegriffon else's mooks"
She smiles again
"Welcome to Baltimare. I don't think we've been properly introduced. But all you really need to know is, don't fuck with us"

He looks at the mare, eyebrows raised slightly. "What filthy mouth you have, mare. Stallions are too soft around here that mares have more wit than a stallion. Truly a disgrace." He shakes his head. "I have made my point. Hopefully you will obtain better workers that do not fail you again." He walks up towards the mare. "I will not fight you, mare." He stops in front of her. "I am Iron. I am willing to move the crates again."

"It is sad that you have to protect these overgrown colts from actually facing their problems." He looks back towards the mare. "I will move the crates now, as agreed." He starts walking towards the crates.

At this point, another stallion enters the room. He wears a black uniform that also appears to be some kind of policemare's uniform, with a hoof symbol on the shoulder. He is a green Earth Pony stallion with yellow hair and seems to have a prosthetic hind right hind leg
The pink mare says to him
"Homicide is the jurisdiction of the Baltimare Police. Not yours"
"Maybe" He pulls out a cigarrette and leans against the wall as he tries to light it. "But insurrection is in my jurisdiction, and this guy right here..." He points to Onyx. "Was found with this little beauty on his pony" He pulls out the communist leaflet Onyx had and holds it up, before taking a long huff of his cigarette.
The pink mare is offended. "possessing pamplets of the Baltimare Communist party isn't illegal"
He blows out his smoke in the direction of the mare. "No more illegal than killing in defense of others" She glares at him. "Continue" He motions with his hoof.
She looks back to Onyx, "And so what happened next?"
>>68421
She doesn't move from her spot, but all of the ponies, who were watching the scene, get back to work moving the crates. There is a feel of urgency to it now, and the mare watches on

Iron keeps moving the crates as instructed, same amount as before the incident. "Cee-vee-lai-sei-tion" sure made the population weak. He shaked his head. Poor mare, he thought, had to defend these stallions when naturally it is the other way around. He sighed softly, this trip sure cemented his belief that this is a hidden hell for everyone, slowly burning their natural instinct and leaving them defenseless.

When the crates are moved, the foreman directs all of the ponies to get off of the docks. Noticeably, only the crates on the top of the deck have been moved, and the ship is still more full than not. At 3PM, a pony in green officer's clothing and several griffons go onto The Swift Pheasant
>>68425

"We have six ponies who say they saw you running from the scene. But the only two who saw the killing said the dog was holding the knife the whole time and was clearly threatening with it"
The mare says "Carrying a Halberd though..."

Iron walks towards the mare to inquire about this ship and its owner. While he is at it, he will ask some questions about the city itself, such as any opportunities for strength related work inside the city. He will also ask for his pay, since he did not recieve it after the whole crate moving business.

"... 'The Divine'.. is something more sophisticated than I could ever hope to understand, let alone explain..
I come from a far away land, very different from this one.. Where I come from, pegasi do not interfere with nature, nor do the foals of the Earth till the soil when it is already fertile.. Clergy is not so formal to my people: our circles and temples come and go with the wind, settling when and where they are needed. The winds spoke to me to come to this land, and so I came to pledge my service to the creatures of this land.. But again, a mare of faith should not need a reason to serve the poor, should she?
Ponies.. are peculiar creatures.. They are so unconditionally loved by creation,and yet at times they can stray to believe that they are alone. They build spawling cities where lush grasslands and forests once stood; they build worlds to meet their desires, and yet also bring their own suffering.. So peculiar, but so beautiful..
My own faith is one one of self-dicipline.. For my kind, faith is our way of quelling the fires that ravage our beings, in life and in death. We assemble circles every few centuries to nuture our soldidarity, to protect the world from both ourselves and the nameless horrors of the beyond. Our circles were once made up of magi, who bound together to fight evil and ugliness whereever it stood.. but the temple that I trained in is no more, for it stood where it was not needed, and thus drifted away.
I too sought out faith to quell the fires within me as well, fires that blazed and blistered until they threatened to destroy me from within.. I wasn't always such a patient mare; no, I was wild as I was naive.. In the past I made mistakes; I've broken many things, and lost many things, and so now I've chosen faith to guide my path. I spent many years alone looking for faith, learning from what the trees told me.. At one point, I believed that I was growing callous, but as I wandered across the continent alone, I found that I could see things that others could not. I see when creatures are suffering, struggling against illness, evil, and destitute. I had myself taught myself to live without wealth, joy, security, shelter, or even love, but the creatures of this realm still struggle; and thus can only I offer up my body in service."
The pauses for a moment, then turns
".. These Princesses that you speak of.. although I do not know them, feel righteous to me, since they are able to let such a selfless establishment as this abby exist.. I sense they've worked for many centuries to allow your people to grow in peace.. but today.. they too must struggle.. I pray for them, and for all of you.. I would love to know these Princesses some day as well."

The winds spoke to me to come to this land, and so I came to pledge my service to the creatures of this land.. But again, a mare of faith should not need a reason to serve the poor, should she?
Ponies.. are peculiar creatures.. They are so unconditionally loved by creation,and yet at times they can stray to believe that they are alone. They build spawling cities where lush grasslands and forests once stood; they build worlds to meet their desires, and yet also bring their own suffering.. So peculiar, but so beautiful..
My own faith is one one of self-dicipline.. For my kind, faith is our way of quelling the fires that ravage our beings, in life and in death. We assemble circles every few centuries to nuture our soldidarity, to protect the world from both ourselves and the nameless horrors of the beyond. Our circles were once made up of magi, who bound together to fight evil and ugliness whereever it stood.. but the temple that I trained in is no more, for it stood where it was not needed, and thus drifted away.
I too sought out faith to quell the fires within me as well, fires that blazed and blistered until they threatened to destroy me from within.. I wasn't always such a patient mare; no, I was wild as I was naive.. In the past I made mistakes; I've broken many things, and lost many things, and so now I've chosen faith to guide my path. I spent many years alone looking for faith, learning from what the trees told me.. At one point, I believed that I was growing callous, but as I wandered across the continent alone, I found that I could see things that others could not. I see when creatures are suffering, struggling against illness, evil, and destitute. I had myself taught myself to live without wealth, joy, security, shelter, or even love, but the creatures of this realm still struggle; and thus can only I offer up my body in service."
The pauses for a moment, then turns
".. These Princesses that you speak of.. although I do not know them, feel righteous to me, since they are able to let such a selfless establishment as this abby exist.. I sense they've worked for many centuries to allow your people to grow in peace.. but today.. they too must struggle.. I pray for them, and for all of you.. I would love to know these Princesses some day as well."

"Sorry folks, maybe its not my place to say, but I'd be cautious about ponies that can appear as any sort of pony you'd want. I mean, prostitution is kind of a touchy subject as it is, without involving crazy magic or,... well,... bugs. Are you alright on your drinks? I can have a waiter over here in a jiffy."

The stallions turns around. "As for your first question, I only respect the strongest. The one that can fend off anyone by themselves, especially without those tools of war you have. I will be at the outskirts when you need me. I am going to rest a bit." He leaves the city and sets camp at the outskirts, intending to rest a bit until the supposed partner arrives.

She goes over to where a sister and an older foal are washing the laundry. It's a large stack of mostly bed-sheets, with some foal's clothing, and the sister's garments. The washing is in a metal tub. Clothes are made wet, scrubed with soap, then scrubbed hard and repeatedly with a smooth river stone against a hard plank, dipped in water repeatedly, and rinsed off in a seperate tub of non-soapy water, before being sent through a ringer and hung to dry on lines in an area on the roof of the orphanage.

Iron gives his partner a look. "Alright." He leans close to the door and speaks to the random pony. "Open the door and things will be easier for both of us. You really do not want me to break this door, because I will not be playing nice like my partner here." He knocks once. "If you do not open this door by the third knock, I will let myself in by force."

When Canterlot was captured by New Mareland, the order lost its main source of funding. This didn't change after the war, when Canterlot was placed in a different "autonomous region" and basically a different country. The war produced orphans, and not many of the mothers and fathers who went off to war returned. Besides this, the orphanage of Moonlight Shores closed down, sending their orphans to Baltimare. The overcrowding and dire financial situation caused the Nunnery to be vulnerable. they sold some property and items, but when the Waterfront gang came by offering money, they had no real alternative. They took loaned money, and it seemed for a couple months the Waterfront gang would be almost patient. But then, they wanted it paid, as if they didn't know that was not possible. What causes much grief was when they came and took a number of children. Most were evidently impressed into service as gang members, and quite a number were sold to "loving families" In far away cities. The sisters can't really be sure what happened to any of them.
The most Traumatic incident was when a sister Sage was taken away when she protested too much to the removal of the children. No one at all can say what happened to her. On one instance when the gang came it seems there was an attempt to violate the vows of a sister, but if any fillie or sister was actually violated that hasn't been alluded to.
Hopes seemed to raise when the central government in Sunset took notice of the situation of the orphanage. But the stallion they sent didn't offer the sisters direct help, they instead took more than half the kids away, who, it is claimed, would be raised by families and taken in by orphanages across the seas. They probably did this because they suspect the sisters to be Restorationists, and so want to keep children away from them. At least when the Government became involved, it seemed to scare away the gang
The sisters are incredibly hurt by all of this, although at times they admit that they aren't really sure they could have given the foals much better lives than where they are now. At least, where they hope the foals are now.

Alright, here's the thing.
This so far has developed as about 5 different stories, which has been managable, but it's not really a D&D campaign. For a few of you - Onyx, Iron Hoof, and Dark star, I have at least one more scene before I would think the current storyline of the mini-character would be at a place where it could be concluded satisfactorily. And when the party could be united as one, it's less clear as to why the party as whole would be motivated to do one thing, when each character has their own motivations and a couple now have factions.
I don't think the plan I had for this originally will be interesting for a long period of time

I have an idea on how to join up with crystal man. After that, you should encourage all of us to join a single faction, whatever it will be, opting for the Black whatevers, and then, as fascists had religion, we go on missionary business somewhere and then we bond there or something. Just my opinion tho. How it happens is up to you, or even IF it happens.

Your HP is a full 10 at first level, and a d10 dice role for each level after that. So 10+4d10. Add to that, 2 HP for each level from your con bonus. So another 10. What ever you get from toughness, add that to it.
I think it's very safe to say that Iron could take a few more bullets before he's down. The issue is the fact that a gun went off inside of a building.

Golden Delicious's speech focuses overwhelmingly on Equestria before the war, and tries to dissect the concept of Harmony and it's place in history. He notes that it's always been tolerant of inequality, with particular note of the Canterlot elite, who were always wealthier than the common pony. He makes what seems to be a comment criticizing Rarity, talking about making dresses for wealthy ponies when many are unclothed. He disparages the Mane Six more generally when he says that Equestria was so dependent on the few to protect them, that the great masses never learned to protect themselves. They were docile and subservient, he says. He talks about Equestrian Imperialism when he speaks about the Buffalo and the Encroachment on their land. This might be a reference to New Mareland imperialism in Griffonia, but it's subtle. He finally says that Baltimare has been a proud defender of the Equestrian people as it was the place of the final surrender of Equestria (to NM, not the Changelings). He says they fought not for the princesses, but for the workers, mentioning how Baltimare elected a socialist six years before. He praises Stalliongrad, and gives a description of its success that is probably exaggerated, but who can be sure? He speaks against the resurgent Griffonian Empire and it's aggression against griffon nations as well as it's theocratic form of fascism. The Griffonian Empire is an has been a sort of ally of both the Changelings and New Mareland.
On the Subject of Baltimare, he praises Larry Barry's attention to the the Poor, and blames Baltimare's economic struggles on the War and a general lack of industrialization. A stallion a row in front of you whispers something about Berry not doing anything about rampant crime and especially knife murders. Delicious praises the Socialized medicine system. He criticizes how the natives in the south are "expolited" by industrialists who now enter the southern forests
As a gist, you can gather three things. Golden Delicious seems to be attacking mostly the princesses, perhaps to convert their followers. He will never attack New Mareland directly, but always indirectly. Thirdly, the government in Baltimare is already somewhat under the socialists. Importantly, the south is seen as kind of under the control of Capitalists
I think something in that should be meaningful

Iron commands the zebra to search the room and take the weapon from the gambler. While she does her thing, he closes the door and looks for alternative exits, also making sure to place the unconscious gambler on an open space with no cover like tables and furniture of the sort.

After Black Cauldron is done being offended by being "commanded" by the new underling, she grabs the rifle and starts prying around for money. That apartment door is the only way out of the apartment, an you can't be sure if this fire-trap is within city code. There is a door that leads out to a small balcony, just big enough to two ponies to sit on chairs but not really even move. It has iron bar railings and is one floor above the street, which has ponies on it. There is a window out a bathroom that could probably be opened, but is somewhat narrow. It is one floor above an alley way

Iron hatched a small plan. When Cauldron finds the bits to pay up the debt, she jumps out the window to the wooden crate. Meanwhile, he will move some furniture to block the door and checks to see if the gambler had a mattress. Roll luck again, see if he finds it.

Iron shrugged. "If you have the gun, it will be fine. I am capable of dealing with him if he wakes up." Iron now checks to see if the mattress can pass through the balcony to the streets below. After this he checks the furniture one more time, see if can put the gambler in any big closet or wardrobe. Of course I roll luck again.

Well, one thing in particular....
Golden Delicious praises helping the poor, and he praises industrialism. Except.... He does not praise the infrastructure and building programs in the south. These are in areas with very large numbers of natives, and with settlers along the coats. He talks about a time in Equestrian history when the natives rose up and attacked groups of workers working on a railway.

Iron finally have all the ends tied up. He only needs to wait for Cauldron to find the blasted pouch of bits. He stands guard at the door, looking directly at the gambler. The mattress was dragged near the balcony but did not pass through the balcony door. This plan involved splitting the total loot where he had just a tenth of the total amount and Cauldron had the rest. First, when she finds the pouch, they both push the mattress out of the balcony and let it fall on the street. Then he escapes through the balcony while she escapes through the window. He relays the plan to her while she is looking for the pouch, staring at the gambler's unconscious body.

The Gambler is still unconscious. Cauldron has what she thinks is of value
"I didn't grab everything of value, just the cash. When the police get here I want him to have to explain to them that he was doing illegal gambling with the mafia if he wants to tell them who assaulted him. Not just let him say that he was robbed by some evil Native and a Zebra"
She maneuvers herself through the window. She's quite agile and smaller than iron, so she manages to hang onto the window sill with her hooves before she drops down onto the palate

Well, only option I see is to intimidate the gambler to spill the beans and all. I don't have incriminating evidence of the sort to pin him of illegal gambling.

But on that note, Int is a pretty god-tier stat for any class with more than 2 skills. It's basically your IQ stat, and determines how versitile your character is going forward.
My previous characters have been a Rogue, a Bard, and a high-Int Artificer, so i:'ve never been wanting skillpoints before.
I guess it's not my Niche though; I'll just put all my points into class-specific skills like knowledge (religion), Spellcraft and Heal, and let the rest of the party handle the intensive skillwork (once we meet up).
It's nice that Driuds get 4 skillpoints per level though, although they don't get Knowledge (Arcana) like Clerics do.

The Restorationist faction is ponies of a more or less conservative bend who want to go back to the status quo ante bellum, where Equestria was an independent nation under alicorn rule. Basically the essence of the doctrine is the restoration of the Diarchy. The Central Government, for it's part has claimed to be entering negotiations for a release of the princesses from their captivity. The government has strongly condemned all instability caused by restorationists, and has generally snubbed restorationists in favor of Black Hooves affiliates when it comes to appointments for offices in the autonomous regions

Black Cauldron gets back onto the route of collections to make. Two more collections are made in different apartments that go more or less without incident. A stallion who saw Iron's wound seemed to be somewhat intimidated by it, as if it brought awareness of the severity of the situation.
The next collection does not take place in a multi-family unit, but at a single family residence. As you walk through the neighborhood it is dark and the homes seem to be small units of a sort of "shotgun" style with small lawns in what seems to be a working class neighborhood. The unit that Black Cauldron stops at has a particularly unkept lawn, and no lights are on. She knocks on the door. She knocks on the door again. And a third time.

A pony comes through a door in an area on the far right with tables and open windows. She says "I'm sure many of you have already met the stallion who is about to speak. But this is hardly a lecture. When the worker's state is established, it will be ruled by a workers council chosen directly from the ponies. In the struggle that is to come, you all will play a direct role, and so your input is valued. Now, the pony here has played a direct role in what has been accomplished so far in our city, but as you all know there is much more that needs to be done, and he shall shed some light on that. I introduce to you now the director of the Health and Equine Services Department of Baltimare: Affordable Care
Affordable Care walks into the room. he is a grey Unicorn with a white mane and a stack of papers as his cutie mark.
"When Mayor Larry Barry promised healthcare for all 6 years ago, many ponies thought that that was only a dream. But I knew it was possible, and worked hard to make it a reality. And now, Baltimare has made Healthcare available to all creatures. Now, I know many of you believe mayor Larry Berry has not gone nearly far enough, and I agree. Because, just as affordable healthcare was percieved as a utopian fantasy six years ago, many people think that an international union of states run by worker's councils is a fantasy. And that too, can be made a reality. No, it will not be easy nor will it be done over night, but with the help of enough ponies - ponies like you - it can be made a reality"

He shines the light into Onyx's eyes, moving the light back and forth between each eye
"Keep them open"
He seems confused a bit about the milky eye, and focuses his attention on the good eye. He looks into it. "Hmmm." Then his face turns into an expression of worry. He shines the light across it again. "well." He seems very unsure. He runs the light across it again, and again. His expression grows to more concern.
"alright, I think you are good. Now we can leave the room. If you will follow me this direction." His hoof darts about

A pony comes through a door in an area on the far right with tables and open windows. She says "I'm sure many of you have already met the stallion who is about to speak. But this is hardly a lecture. When the worker's state is established, it will be ruled by a workers council chosen directly from the ponies. In the struggle that is to come, you all will play a direct role, and so your input is valued. Now, the pony here has played a direct role in what has been accomplished so far in our city, but as you all know there is much more that needs to be done, and he shall shed some light on that. I introduce to you now the director of the Health and Equine Services Department of Baltimare: Affordable Care
Affordable Care walks into the room. he is a grey Unicorn with a white mane and a stack of papers as his cutie mark.
"When Mayor Larry Barry promised healthcare for all 6 years ago, many ponies thought that that was only a dream. But I knew it was possible, and worked hard to make it a reality. And now, Baltimare has made Healthcare available to all creatures. Now, I know many of you believe mayor Larry Berry has not gone nearly far enough, and I agree. Because, just as affordable healthcare was percieved as a utopian fantasy six years ago, many people think that an international union of states run by worker's councils is a fantasy. And that too, can be made a reality. No, it will not be easy nor will it be done over night, but with the help of enough ponies - ponies like you - it can be made a reality"
>>68733
"Well, I just wanted to know if your eyes are functioning. Anyways..."
He shines the light into Onyx's eyes, moving the light back and forth between each eye
"Keep them open"
He seems confused a bit about the milky eye, and focuses his attention on the good eye. He looks into it. "Hmmm." Then his face turns into an expression of worry. He shines the light across it again. "well." He seems very unsure. He runs the light across it again, and again. His expression grows to more concern.
"alright, I think you are good. Now we can leave the room. If you will follow me this direction." His hoof darts about
>>68736
"Aye, I see. Some orders, like the Order of Blessed Word, are more frugal than we, thinking it gets them closer to Celestia. We don't go quite that far in our vows"

He describes now the dream that the Baltimare zone will be turned into its own workers state that will be in federation with other workers states. He speaks especially of Stalliongrad, which was able to successfully expel Equestrian garrisons 25 years before. The area of Souther Severyana is of particular concern. It is its own autonomous region in the New Mareland Occupied Zone. He speaks of attempts by Stalliongrad to take this land back. He must be tolerant of group participation by this point, because he accepts it when a mare interjects
"Why should we focus on historical, ethnic, and linguistic barriers. These don't really define creatures in the way that the universal exlpoitation of the working class does. He responds that there will be a union of states, but the base states will likely be what used to be historical nations. More discussion erupts
>>68745
There is no peep hole on the door, nor anything to look through on the door. The only ways to look inside the house are through the windows to either side
>>68746
The stallion leads them into an open area of the Police station as the other two move behind them. When they arrive in an area with many more ponies, the stallion turns. He reaches for something.......
He pulls out a pistol and aims it at onyx. So do a half dozen ponies around him. At least two cock shotguns
"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!"

Iron motions Cauldron to sneak towards the windows and see if there's any traps around them. While she does this. He stands closer to the door. "You have lent money and now you do not even pay back? You should reconsider, since I will not hesitate to break this door down, crack every one of your bones and punch your face until you either lose all your teeth or give us the money that is owed. You can avoid it by giving us what you owe now, so make this easy on us."

Not really necessary when you worship a horse who sits on her ass and eats cake all day.
".. I cannot say it brought me any closer to the divine.. but I learned things in that temple while it lasted.. our training was strenuous . Eventually, I was able to accept that I didn't need material possessions to be content, faithful, or wise.. but I could still use them.."
She turns
".. On one occasion, the Lord of the lands adjacent came to the temple and seek audience with our elders over a turmoil that he'd faced. When the Lord came, he brought his stallions, and with the cooks came china: exquisite, beutiful pieces that only a king could flaunt. So glorious, so sinful. The Lord offered a feast to show his his gratitude, and so we ate together, even though we did not need to. For us, eating was merely an expression of solidarity; a means to accept the the stallion's hospitality. He was quite the bold stallion, and surely would not leave without paying, and so as the elders honored his favor he was put at peace..
... China.. is only good when it is shared with others, is it not?"

A swarm of officers surrpound Onyx. Two Cuff his legs. Each set of legs
The Black uniformed officer says to the others "Help me carry him down stairs"
Onyx is more or less dragged through a hall, down a set of stairs, and into a concrete basement room less welcoming than the interrogation room he left. The black officer yells out to get other personnel, and comes into the room. Two other officers aim weapons at him while others guard the door
The black uniformed officer asks seriously "Why are you here?"

The topic of debate now shifts to Changelings. One pony is very insistent that the Changeling worker drone is just as oppressed as the pony, and that they too, are ripe for revolution. Another pony insists the Changelings can never be trusted, pointing to a statement by the General Secretary of Stalliongrad that called Changlings "monsters." Everypony Agrees that Chrystalis is naked imperialism, and must be removed
>>68750
The pony hesitates to respond, and then, with a shaking voice says "I'm not going to open this door"
Intimidation is a bit harder when they have a physical barrier to protect them

"Of course. The teachings of Harmony show us that you will only find your place in interdependence with others. Life is gloomy and unhappy without friendship and those around us. Tradition, Community, Family, and our friends are the cornerstones of Self-fulfillment, along with contributing our own special talents to society.
So... what do you think of our China?"

Dark Star's remark incites another remark about the failure of Larry Berry's administration to deal with the exploitation of the working class, as industries are still mostly run by large corporations. They start to criticize the Black Hooves and New Mareland, and eventually come to the agreement that the owners of Capital will not part with their power without revolution - in contradistinction to the ideology of Larry Berry's movement

>>68761
The topic now shifts to what the ponies all came there for: Revolution. All agree it must be done. The harder part, is how to pull it off. Discussion rages as to whether a revolution in Baltimare alone is possible, whether it would need Manehattan and Fillidelphia, and whether the Changelings must be dealt with first. All agree that they must take up arms if the Changelings come in and New Mareland abandons them.... but is there greater urgency? There is a worry that Stalliongrad will be invaded by Changelings

A cutie Pegasus mare, of a light blue almost white coat enters, with Blue hair, and a lanky almost cat like appearance enters the room, and comes to Onyx's side. The Black Uniformed pony tells her "This one denies he's a changeling"

Iron nods in approval. "Ah, your choice in weaponry is good, colt. Reminds me of a friend." He readies himself. "Well, I did tell you I would crack your bones now, but I give you one last chance.

"... The china that the Lord brought on that day.. was quite spectacular.. Stark white heirloom ceramic in antique, historic condition.. They were glazed with enough colors to match the church's windows, each displaying elegant, unique paintings of tigers, dragons and phoenixes, with gaudy golden trim. They were certainly the gloat of a stallion who took great pride in flaunting the glory of his wealth.. and for that purpose, they were splendid.."
She looks closely at a plate
".. These plates.. are simple in nature and practice. Plain, monoform pieces molded from inexpensive materials. If one breaks it can easily be replaced without grief or mourning.. Humble plates indeed.."
She turns toward the duster as she gently carressses the plate with a washcloth
"But precisely because of that, they are here in this abby. They are plates that are fit to feed the children of this orphanage; simple plates that can be trusted even to a child. They're not made to impress anyone, but their purpose is sublime. Plates that Sisters and children can use together to enjoy a earnestly-cooked meal. And for that matter, they're certainly better than the plates of that stallion; those plates who sit on the shelves in his castle collecting dust for years on end."
She puts the plate down (after taking 10 on her cleaning check).
"Plates that are humble enough to be trusted to children are the only plates we need. But for now, I think I'm better trusted with the laundry."

Still more discussion speculates. Some ponies think that because the Baltimare area does not share a border with the Changeling lands, they are safe from immediate invasion in the event of a general revolt. Another pony states that there is a problem. The ponies of the forbidden jungles, especially the natives of Tenochtitlan, would probably not join in any general revolt. they can't even be sure of the ponies of Moonlight Shore.

I could say such a life of extravagance is shortsighted and vain, for they will not find wholeness in affluence; but who am I to judge others for their own choices? I chose this way of life to quel my my own fire; some others may find virtue in their own paths.
I am not familiar with the area of Equestria. Agglomerations of industry and sprawling cities of asphalt.. none like the place where I grew up. I only came to the city because I've come to learn that where there are cities there are ponies who suffer from poverty and destitution, horrors of the modern world.."

"Yes, 'the Waterfront Gang' is so named because they tend to operate most heavily by the docks and the factories around there. To them though, it's just 'our thing.' They recruit from the poor, the disadvantaged, and the marginalized of society, especially in the working class neighborhoods. They have a hierarchical system. Their leader in Baltimare isn't exactly know, but is believed to be a unicorn known only as "The Lady." They make their money mostly from loan sharking, illegal gambling, and protection rackets, but are also know to traffic in illegal goods and sell counterfeit goods. They prefer to keep a low profile and aren't anything at all like those villains down south in the Forbidden Jungles, or over in the wilder parts of Griffonia. But they will kill, rape, steal, traffic ponies, and even assassinate public officials where they think it necessary, or when they think they can avoid retaliation…. like when their victims are helpless nuns."

And you think that the fact that you already have the money means that you can take even more from creatures like us. The ones who don't live by money-born-of-money, but who work. I tell you, we who work are done being exploited by the likes of you. And what you and all of those like you will soon find when we rise is that we outnumber you."
On cue, and embolded by the pony's words, the other 4 creatures ride from their seats and stand behind him, with now 5 angry creatures, and a sulking stallion.

"It is well after midnight. What do you need me for at this hour?"
She responds "He's been shot, and clawed, we need help." he takes a look at the wounds
"Hmmm. This one here did get to the bone. This one will need stiches. I guess I could fix this up tonight." The stallion applies cotton and such to the bleeding wounds, and starts to disinfect them. He injects Iron with an anesthetic. "Hold still, this won't kill you." And then he uses a set of tools to extract the bullet. After that, he disinfects the wound and stitches it up. He likewise stitches up the other wounds. Black Cauldron does some medical work of her own, making a brew.
"Use this tonic, it will help with the healing process. And this here, if you place it over the wound will help as well"
They go to the building in question. Cauldron knocks on the door. A yellowish Unicorn Stallion answers
"It is well after midnight. What do you need me for at this hour?"
She responds "He's been shot, and clawed, we need help." he takes a look at the wounds
"Hmmm. This one here did get to the bone. This one will need stiches. I guess I could fix this up tonight." The stallion applies cotton and such to the bleeding wounds, and starts to disinfect them. He injects Iron with an anesthetic. "Hold still, this won't kill you." And then he uses a set of tools to extract the bullet. After that, he disinfects the wound and stitches it up.

Do as advised and place the tonic and the other thing now. "I thank you, Cauldron. You are a great partner." He smiles. "Now, time to split the bits as agreed."

She starts counting the collected amount, and splits the totals. "It looks like you made about 400 bits. That's quite a large amount for a single night, even if it may not seem like it's worth... all that" she motions to Iron's various wounds.

Various ponies speculate as to what the establishment of a worker's state would look like. They see the fact that the other districts of Equestria are further from revolution as a sort of roadblock, and most believe the Black Hooves' line that throwing out the Blackhooves would leave a vacuum the Changelings would try to fill. Some, however, are optimistic about the chances of establishing an Semi-Enclave state in Baltimare, seeing as the Baltimare district does not share a border with the Changelings, but has another district as buffer to the East, Fillidephia to the North, the Fire Sea to the South, and open Ocean to the west. One pony suggests that maybe the Black Hooves would allow them to break off peacefully, or set themselves up as a worker's protectorate. This suggestion is laughed at, but he points out that they've let Larry Berry's socialists be elected, as well as Restorationist governments in Fillidephia and some towns in Manehattan, with only the border districts being denied any right to go against the party line. Another set of talk suggests that the Workers would do a better job of defending their homes than the Black Hooves ever would.

The pony would find that Sister Ash is already up and about, and is busy trying to wrestle her mane into the Equestrian religious habit with her telekinetic feelers (or whatever you call the magic glove-thing that unicorns use to move stuff).

Iron finds an area of open green with a tree, and sleeps there. When he wakes, he feels like he has mostly regained his strength - that tonic must be magical stuff.

I don't need to prepare Wild Shape. It's not a spell, but a class feature equivalent to limited polymorph.
Shillagh is a spell that makes a wooden weapon (a broom in this case) count as a magick weapon for the sake of overcoming damage reduction, and deal damage as if it were two size categories larger (in this case, a medium sized staff deals 2d6 damage).
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Shillelagh
I figured it was very nun-like, since Catholic School teachers are always carrying around canes and brooms and rulers to smite naughty sinners.

To clarify, Sister Ash hasn't actually prepared her spells yet, but they will be prepared as soon as the Sun rises and the prayer begins. She only has to meditate for a minute to prepare her spells (no spooky pagan shit), but she has to designate a time of day when she does it.
In this case, she chose to do so as the Sun rises: a silent, personal gesture to her solidarity with the sisters of the orphanage.

Ponies are gathered in a chapel, which has a circular shape with a central Tabernacle of Black Marble, and giant windows of glass with decent visibility behind the Tabernacle. There are stained glass windows featuring scenes of the two princesses around the room, and some of saints, including Elements of Harmony. Arranged in a semi circle around the tabernacle are perfectly good black wood pews, but every pony is on their knees for some reason. Every single nun is there, and also a few stallions who you think must be among the older foals at the orphanage.
At the Tabernacle is who you guess must be the priestess. She is a Yellow earth pony with a lighter yellow mane, who you have not seen among the sisters. She does not wear the nun's habit. Rather, she wears a white Scalpular with Gold stripes on the back, with a golden robe underneath, as well as a Black collar and.... could you call it a "scarf" of black around her neck. You are there when it starts. A fillie in dress lights incense, and carries it around. The session is entirely in a language you don't understand - it's not ponish
The session begins before sunrise, with some singing and reading. The rising sun is visible through the windows behind the priestess. At the moment of sunrise, the priestess raises her forehooves up, and the nuns bow down, as she sings words in exaltation. It continues as the sun slowly rises, with calmer words spoken afterwards.

As he walks around, he sees single family residences, and a couple shops. Ponies walk on the side of the street, at first in fairly thin numbers, but then far more. He can hear loud whistles off in the distnace from factories and mills. What is particularly new are Automobiles that drive down the street. They are faster than the horse drawn carriages, and seem unsafe. Likewise, trucks can be seen, mostly of a more or less similar model to the trucks he saw yesterday at the docks

On the far end of the glass is a figure you guess must be Blessed Word. Blessed Word is the founder of Equestrian Monasticism, who, many hundreds of years ago, in a time of war and strife in Equestria, sought to remove himself from society and live as frugally as possible. He lived in a cave in the mountains for a period of time, and eventually got other mares and stallions to join him in a monastery in the mountains. The glass in question features him out in the brushlands, almost starving to death, in a pilgrimage he made to imitate the sufferings of the earliest equestrians as they moved south into Equestrian lands.
The second stained glass belongs to Golden Horse. He is very well known as one of the great intellectual backers of the Equestrian church, one of its great theologians. His work, "City of the Sun," for example, teaches ponies of the superiority of the spiritual over the material, and not to be too concerned over the dire state of the pony kingdoms at the time, but rather to place faith in Celestia. His even more well known autobiography teaches of his personal journey to spirituality and self control.
The next pane is Equinus, another Philosopher and theologian. His works seem to borrow heavily from the earlier philosophy Mareistotle, and seem to take a more positive tone on the material realm, while providing an ethics of self actualization and a very logically formatted metaphysics
The Central Panel contains a saint elevated perhaps among the rest. It is Saint Prancis of Ass-Eastly, who lived a life of devotion to the poor, and broke away with another monastic group to start his own when he though that it was not austere enough. The panel in question features a famous scene where the young saint went to Griffonia and displayed himself and to the Griffon king during a crusade, and hoped to be martyred for his faith.
The next panel is yet another philosopher, Saint Celestialhelm. She is probably best known for her proof of Alicorn divinity.
The final panel features the pony known as "revered." he was a soldier of an empire that was persecuting the faithful, and when he saw a believer about to break under the pressure, gave a speech to tell him to keep his faith. It was so inspiring that it even converted several onlookers, but resulted in him being killed himself. The glass in question features the extremely well known scene where a half dozen arrows failed to kill him

As you look around, you see that they do indeed have what appears to be gauntlets: Iron shoes that can be placed over the forehooves, and give quite an extra punch to... well, punching. You guess it must have been dumped by its owner very quickly (like in the time it takes the police to get a search warrant) because it's very cheap
Forgive me, but is gauntlets the main way u want to go? Gauntlets, as I understand them, keep the damage for an unarmed strike the same, but make the damage lethal instead of non-lethal. That takes away what is probably the best aspect of unarmed strike - that you can beat an opponent down with the worst crime committed being misdemeanor assault, which the police couldn't be bothered to follow up. If you want lethal damage, a sword, crossbow, or rifle would probably better. But of course, if you know what you have in mind....

"i'm afraid it's a bit of a dire situation. This morning we sent a colt out to South end of the property to fetch some wood, little Sunny Day. But Sunny day hasn't been back, and he isn't in the orchard. A colt said he was talking with sunny last night and Sunny thought it was a shame he never got to see the old Priory building. We think he went over that way. The thing is, that's in a heavily wooded and dark area. Wildlife in Equestria isn't known for being nice, and it can be dangerous out there. We were hoping you could help us try to find Sunny"

She takes you outside of the chapel and to the south of the property. You can see the Orchard there, and beyond it a vastly thicker strand of trees.
"This area beyond the orchard was one of the oldest parts of our order. It became used much less when we moved to the new buildings over here, and the old priory was abandoned maybe 15 years ago. It's become a part of the wilderness now, and we sold the property two months ago to new owner."

She hears now a growl, and a very large shape walks out from the woods before her. It’s a wolf. And I don’t mean like an ordinary grey wolf that is smaller than a pony, no, this is the grey wolf’s badass grandpa: the Dire Wolf. Like a timber wolf, but a bit fleshier and less magical. It stands on the path before them and growls. The two other ponies are terrified, both clinging to each other

Iron unclapses the pouch of bits from the belt. "I will take one of them in the best condition possible. Name your price. I would like for you to give me the directions of the armorers. I may visit them later."

Cotton stuff holds up the bear skin, and it’s too large for the whole thing to be lifted off the ground. “This beauty is 30 bits, and a wolf is 25. As for armor, well, if you’re looking for what the elite trust to protect them, well, there’s a high end store called ‘pommel’ that up front sells fancier clothes than you’d care for, but in the back sells high grade armor if you ask.

Iron nods, this is nice. Maybe wolves and tigers were bar armors since their skin was thin, but bears should have thicker skin than both of them. He hands over the 25 bits to the buyer.

Sister Ash pushes the five foot ball of fire menacingly towards the beast, simultaneously using it as an improvised shield (it would have to move around the ball).
The sky above crackles with energy, as she prepares a readied action call down another bolt of lightning on it if it makes another threatening move.
With her wild empathy, she signals to the wolf to begone, or face her wrath, her left eye now leaking flames and half her face charred black as she growls through wounded pants.

Of course Iron takes off the leather belt, then puts on, in order, the wolf hide,the leather belt and the bear hide right there. After this he inspects himself through the reflection glass.
Mainly to see if the hides actually fit, which may make me go to a tailor or cut it to my measurements. Also you can tell me how I look more accurately to others.

Iron was a bit dissapointed by the size of the bear hide, he should cut it down a bit. This means he should find a tailor. He guesses that the Jungle Rush the stallion told about should do the job just fine. "Thank you." He steps out the shop and goes to Jungle Rush.

"Well, you see the hide on it's own isn't that strong until treated. When it is treated, we could make a substance that will do a lot to stop animal bites and knives, but won't do much to stop a bullet, and the more forceful and direct attacks from claws and knives. It will let you move around a lot, however.
Nylon and steel, however, are bulkier and heavier. But they are much better at stopping attacks. A basic flack jacket is mostly nylon with some steel plating, and is mostly maneuverable and less protective, and you can add more steel for more weight and more protection. If you opt for the steel and nylon, we can use the fur as a sort of aesthetic venir so it looks like a bear hide, or maybe even attack the plate directly to the bear hide in place of nylon.
Think about what kind of hunter you want to be. Do you want to be swift and able, but not as able to take hits, or slow but sturdy.
As for costs, the heavier armor will cost a hell of a lot more, but what else is money for?

I emerge from the woods, and head out towards Baltimare.
"Why, what do we have here? Think it will be any different than the ones before it?" I ask myself as I meander down the road.
"Doubtful. But if it ends the same as the other one, then we will at least have a good laugh about it."

He'd be particularly interested in strength-based activities, maybe hoofwrestling or the typical "who can carry the most" kind of challenge. I can push to alcohol resistance since it's a kind of strength based on endurance.

>Various ponies speculate as to what the establishment of a worker's state would look like. They see the fact that the other districts of Equestria are further from revolution as a sort of roadblock, and most believe the Black Hooves' line that throwing out the Blackhooves would leave a vacuum the Changelings would try to fill. Some, however, are optimistic about the chances of establishing an Semi-Enclave state in Baltimare, seeing as the Baltimare district does not share a border with the Changelings, but has another district as buffer to the East, Fillidephia to the North, the Fire Sea to the South, and open Ocean to the west. One pony suggests that maybe the Black Hooves would allow them to break off peacefully, or set themselves up as a worker's protectorate. This suggestion is laughed at, but he points out that they've let Larry Berry's socialists be elected, as well as Restorationist governments in Fillidephia and some towns in Manehattan, with only the border districts being denied any right to go against the party line. Another set of talk suggests that the Workers would do a better job of defending their homes than the Black Hooves ever would.

And it would be great to try to kill their plans in the craddle. but we also need them to keep talking, because there is a lot of information we don't know. You would need to act only after they've said their piece. As for sending in the reservists, well, it would be better if we never sent in any uniformed officers at all.

"Well, to be honest, we still don't know the exact location, unless you learned that last night, except that it is in a group of buildings near the waterfront. I would think you would need to be able to either sneak in and around the buildings quietly and unnoticed, or go inside like nothing was peculiar about you at all. When things get ugly, you're going to need strong stallions who can take down opponents. Preferably both silently, and with a gun when the bullets do finally start flying. I would think that if you find yourself in the position that you have to fight sentries, you'd want to do that without alerting the main group of communists. And if some pony can do magic, that'd be real useful.
We still don't know exactly what role the Waterfront gang and the police play in all of this. We suspect the gang is giving some support, but we don't know what or how much. We don't know to what degree the Police are helpful or corrupt. Expect both the gang and the police to stop by when gunshots ring. Above all else, find out who the new faction is, and stop them"

Iron's eyebrows lower a bit. "You sure have a big gash there. Do you not have a stallion to protect you? I have seen some mares acting tough, but you seem to be pretty kind so far."

"No need to be extreme, mare." Iron laughs. "Many times was my life was attempted to be taken in the jungle and I am here, talking with you." Iron leans closer to the offending pony. "You, on the other hand, look like a newborn with that silky coat, so forgive me if I do not believe you ever fought before." he leans back "Yes, I can kill just fine, by the way."

"Hahaha, little colt, I'm not sure you understand the nature of the mission here. It involves far greater dangers than jungle cats or defensely shop owners, or whatever you are used to dealing with. We're talking Communist rebels, Changeling spies, and other more serious matters."
"I look prettier than you, it is true, but just because you are ugly doesn't mean you're fit to be a Soldier. Now please, drop the attitude, and stop acting like you are superior to everypony around us. Because all you've proven to us, is that you are the weakest hoof wrestler at this bar, and nothing more"

Iron waved it off. "If you are talking about those weaklings that preach about equality I heard your partner say, then I have taken down 5 of them after they decided to fight me, mare. They were not tough at all. I do not expect anyone else did that the first day they come here." Iron stands back. "A simple hoofwrestle does not equal strength. Of course, you try to hide your inexperience fighting by equating strength with a simple game. Fighting is the true manifestation of strength, but I am indeed being carried away. Let us refocus on the mission."

"Your hubris will get you killed. You think you're the world's greatest fighter because you took down a few anarchists in bar fight. These guys we will be going up against are anything but 'weaklings.' We can expect experienced mercenaries, foriegn advisors, secret agents, and a hell of a lot more commies than just 5. And so long as we are comparing numbers, I've taken down a hell of a lot more than 5 in my short time on this continent.

"They are a mixed bag. They are the easiest to pull a joke on, but the hardest to get a laugh from."
I chuckle.
"But I suppose you mean how I view their policies. If they love their communism so much, why not sneak over to Stalliongrad? Because they want to take what we have for themselves."
I sigh
"What little we have anyway."

"I'll tell you what Communists are. Who they have shown themselves to be. In the revolution in Aquellia, Communist rebels went into a convent of the order of Boreas, and gathered the nuns in a line. They told each to renouce their faith, and every one that refused, right then and their, had her throat slit, and their corpse thrown into a well. This is besides, of course, those Priests of Gryphus they put on river boats, then set on fire, or those long buried corpses they un-buried and displayed to show the public that the nuns were but ordinary gryphons - as if that weren't bloody obvious. And when the "moderate Democrats" won control of the government, they confiscated all Church property, banned all religious education, and removed all religious symbols in public buildings. They even removed religion from the cemeteries. Would you believe that? What happened in Stalliongrad wasn't quite as dramatic, but the result was the same. These are people are not simply goddless power craving bullies. They wish to destroy the spiritual. They believe everything is material, and the only motives are economic. And that is the world they will bring about by any means necessary."

But no one noticed he was asleep, they just thought he was being quiet and edgy. Cuz he was being quiet and edgy, but he was also asleep

After this, he believes to be ready to fight this mission, equips the boots on his front forelegs and walks off to the tavern, ready for action.
Alright, I'll be turning off my system and going to sleep. I will consider myself as "being at the tavern" already. See you all next thread
