As you walk out the Neighborhood, a pair of police officers approach.
"We've been told their were loan sharks, causing a disturbance?"

>>68831
Iron stays silent, letting Cauldron do the talking.

Hopefully she has a higher bluff check than 0

[1d20+1 = 10]
>>68832
"I hope you catch them"

[1d20+1 = 19]
>>68834
Opposed

>>68832
>>68834
>>68835
"Sir and mam, do you mind telling us what you are doing walking about at this hour?"

>>68834
>>68835
OOF

[1d20-1 = -14]
>>68836
Seeing the suspicion the cops have on them, he steps up with an admitedly shit bluff check "I am a bodyguard for her. Her father is very protective of her, and with reason." He points at the bandaged wound he has. "The crime here is too high. I am escorting her home."

[1d20+1 = 18]
>>68838
Opposed

>>68839
>>68838
Well fuck

[1d20+1 = 19]
>>68838
>>68839
The police are unconvinced.

Black Cauldron sighs.
"This Stallion is my coltfriend. I don't want my father to know, and we have been trying to keep it a secret as Zebra-pony relationships are not universally approved of. That wound is from a fight that happened yesterday"

[1d20+1 = 2]
>>68841
Opposed

>>68841
Ok, it's going a little better.

>>68838
>>68841
>>68842
A police mare is horrified at the thought of a society and a family that doesn't approve of love. She growls to the other officer. "I told you that just because a Zebra and a Native are walking after midnight, does not mean they are up to crime"

>>68843
If you feel like I stole your opportunity to do something clever, you have a separate 2 luck roll that can put you in a similar situation to try again

>>68845
Lolno, I was trembling the whole way and shitting my pants, praying for dice gods' favor.

>>68846
With the police officer's pony privilege properly checked, the two walk away quickly, with Black cauldron staying very close to Iron to give the appearance of romantic interest to the officers if they were watching as they walked off

"Well that was close. We only have a few more stops"
I'm thinking another luck roll, unless you want to keep the 2

>>68847
While I would jump at the opportunity at an easier time, the rolls have spoken, and I do not intend to break the dice's will.

I'll probably regret it later, but eh. This could be epic

>>68847
Iron chuckled lightly as they cops went out of view and earsight. "Huh, never thought you would go for that excuse, Cauldron."

>>68848
I have two different ideas, and I am not sure which is better. Roll a 1d2

[1d2 = 2]
Here you go

>>68849
She bats her eyes at him
"Since the Princess tried to take Equestria in a more 'open' direction, the police and local government have been afraid of appearing "pony nationalist" like the Blackhooves

>>68852
This adds fuel to Iron's laugh. "What a way to show weakness! I am more confident now that those Princesses wanted to let the country be taken."

>>68853
"Indeed. That is why we must be strong, and take care of ourselves"

>>68851
"Well," she says, "this is our next to last stop." This new location is a bit unlike the other ones you've been to. It's a tavern that seems to be closed right now, with just a light on.
"This one closes early, but he's here"
The two of you walk through the front door (unlocked) and see that the front room is empty. "They must be in the backroom"
They walk up to a door to a room in the back of the tavern. She knocks on the door
"What do you want?"
"We're here to collect on a loan last month"
No response. Iron's turn

[1d20+4 = 24]
>>68855
First, check door for any open spots like last time. Then say "We are asking nicely here. If you want to do this the hard way, then I will let myself in and spill your blood into as many bottles of liquor as your body provides."

Is there a perk where the requirement for an intimidate check changes from charisma to strength in 3.5?

>>68856
Dice gods bless me this day.

>>68856
The stallion graciously opens the door for the both of you, and lets you walk in....

The stallion is not the only one there. Inside the room, which is rather spacious, there are 5 other creatures - four ponies, one griffon - sitting in chairs around a table, wearing Black and Red Bandanas
"And who the hell are you?" one of those 5 asks

>>68859
Let Cauldron repeat her demands, ignoring the question.

>>68860
Cauldron tells him again:
"We lent you money last month, and we are here now to collect"

A pony interjects: "The lending of money at interest is an exploitation of those who do not have money by those who do"

The stallion in question says something like "easy now"

[1d20+4 = 6]
>>68861
Iron turns to the offending pony. "Well, you are stupid to accept a loan in the first place. You could have ventured out with just your wits, living off the land, but you, afraid of losing your precious comfort, opted to accept something you supposedly knew it was a bad idea." Iron walks to him until he is face to face. "Now tell me, why should I listen to you complain about it like a foal and decide to bash your head in until you comply instead?"

>>68862
This is why we can't have nice things.

>>68862
The Stallion stands up.

"You, sir, are a bully. You take advantage of our weaknesses. The fact that a pony needs food, clothing, shelter. 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.

[1d20 = 3]
>>68865
"What brave words you said. But your words still come from a place of weakness. If you want to show me your strength, then so be it. I will show you true strength!" Iron readies himself for battle.

Also rolling initiative

>>68867
Oh shit. Where are you dice gods?

[1d20-1 = -4]
[1d20 = 19]
[1d20+2 = 16]
>>68867
Rolling. The one with the positive modifiers is Cauldron, who has more dexterity. The negative modifiers are for the creatures further away

[1d20 = 20]
[1d20-2 = -11]
[1d20-2 = -9]
>>68870
The next two ponies and the griffon

>>68871
>>68870
At least Cauldron attacks first? Woo?

[1d20 = 16]
[1d20+1 = 14]
>>68867
The initiative is:
Red Feathers
Red and Black Leader
Cauldron
Red and Black 3
Red and Black 4
Red and Black 2
Iron

>>68872
Red Feathers attacks with Claws. Black Leader Punches

[1d20+4 = 16]
[1d3+1 = 3]
[1d3+1 = 2]
>>68872
The claws scrape into Iron's Hide, and Black Leader's punch lands. Cauldron swipes at Red Feathers with her crowbar, which she pulled out while Red and Black leader was blabbering

[1d20 = 11]
[1d20 = 12]
[1d20-1 = -6]
>>68874
>>68872
The next three red and blacks attack, one on Iron, and two on Cauldron

[1d3 = 1]
[1d6+2 = 8]
>>68872
>>68876
The last red and black failed to land a punch on Iron. Iron has taken 5 damage, non-lethal. Well, maybe some lethal from claws. Cauldron lands a hit on Feathers. Cauldron dodges one punch, and gets hit by another. Rolling for damage on feathers and damage on Cauldron

>>68872
Feathers got pretty damned beaten. Cauldron is barely hit.

Iron's turn
