Iron picks up the table and throws it at the griffon and the two ponies that attack him.
If it's allowed of course.
Target priority is the griffon.

Also, should I get attacks of opportunity for each pony that fights me since they're using unarmed attacks, hopefully without improved unarmed strike?

The table is turned on its side and in the direction of the three creatures. None of the three escape in time
But no strength bonus to damage because of the awkward way in which the table is thrown, and strength is already factored into attack bonus
>>68880
Well... probably yes, so I guess he can do so in the next attacks

Feathers has taken 5 damage. He's still fighting. Quite a tough bird I say considering the damage he's already taken from Cauldron. Red and Black Leader is barely damaged, but hurt. Red and Black 3 is pretty hurt though, but he ain't out yet

Wait, there's only one griffon in the fight, which other griffon did I miss? Or is Red Feathers not the griffon?

And the retreating pony is knocked down onto the ground.
The Stallion, still cowering in the back of the room, says "I think I keep a rainy day fund somewhere. Let me get the money"

Iron gestures at the stallion cowering down on the floor to toss it on one the chairs left standing. After this, he picks up the knocked pony by the scalp and places him next to the other stallion. Then ask Cauldron to see if it was all the money that was owed.
>>68908
Iron looks sternly at the stallion, seeking to cover all the payment. "If you do not want to join the others, I suggest you give us what we are owed."

She smiles, and they walk out. After they are out of the tavern, Black Cauldron jumps and hugs him. "That was AMAZING!" It takes her about three seconds to realize "but you are very hurt? Do we need to fix you up now, or can you make the last stop?"

The Mare at the next location took one look at the bleeding stallion, and handed over the money
"I'll just pawn my grandfather's jewelry to pay this month's rent"
After that, Cauldron tells Iron. "It usually goes more smoothly than this, not that you can ever eliminate the risk from the job. Well, I think I should take you to a certain guy. You probably still have that bullet in your shoulder, and you have so many scratches that could get infected
I'm unemployed and unemployable at the moment, so I am fine to sleep late
Also, I think I count only 9 collections? That feels like too few, needs at least 10 or 12

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. 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"

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.

"I see. If there is any change, I will be at the outskirts of the city." He starts heading outside the building, bits in hand. "Thank you, medicine man," he says before leaving through the door. Today was a good day, a good night's rest will do.

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.

She takes her to the room. It's like an slightly austere hotel room, with a full bed, dresser, curtains and so forth, with some sowing instruments on a table. There is a lamp on a stand beside the bed.
"This used to be sister Sage's room."

Sister hangs her head in sympathy, but does not bother to pick at the Sisters' wounds.
"Thank you." She says, with a sincere nod, as she rests her broom on the wall and removes her shawl, her lion-like mane of swirling fluff looking out as it is released from its confines.

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).
"Oh, yes dear, just one moment now.."
*tames the mane*

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

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

Hardware store, pawn store, specialized weapons store? Your pick

If I am going off the rails, warn me beforehand. Don't want to ruin the plan you have
Iron decides to explore the pawn store out of curiosity.

Someone had to role a 19 on a knowledge religion question about lore, so that took most of my time after you posted

Very very interesting.
Sister Ash takes a while to appreciate the glasswork after the ceremony is complete, marveling at the figures of those that she until then only had to chance to hear of through spoken word and independent study.
"Ponish aesthetics.. certainly do live up to their reputation."

If it's any compensation, you did a great job of describing it.

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....

Imo, I think enchanted gauntlets outta be the go-to way for letting Monks weild magical weapons. Could also work for damage reductions, like cold iron and silver too.

One thing is for sure about the Colt of the Sun. Whatever else you have to say about them, they love their art. The stained glass and the tabernacles are the most ornate part of the chapel, which otherwise is more plain than not.
"You should see the artwork of the Cathedral at Bales." you hear behind you. It's the priestess. "Hello, I am Sundew, the priestess of the North Baltimare Parish. I don't believe I've seen you before"

I would have hoped they increased damage at least. If I want to be lethal, I don't need to buy some metal thing since improvd unarmed strike does that, right?
Iron shakes his hard, this won't be useful for him. He exits the shop in dissapointment

They can increase damage, sure. Also I believe you have two hooves for unarmed strike which opens opportunities for more attacks

Sister Ash bows in respect
"Getting, maredame. I go by the title of Sister Ash. I recently traveled to the adjacent orphanage to dedicate myself to the protection and service of these foals."

Monks don't lose their abilities if they stop being lawful. If you played an ex-monk (former Monk), you could get most of the Monks combat abilities and bonus feats (most of the good ones come levels 1-6), and then just be a Fighter for every level after that.

"Indeed..." Sister Ash says, bowing slightly to conceal her gritted teeth
".. these ponies have suffered.."
