Iron reaches the outskirts and looks for any trees with holes on them to hide his newfound loot.
Wow, you guys really were playing all night.

Since I think it's somewhere close to late evening whereshe is, Sister Ash finishes her work, and retreats to whatever chamber or barn or hole in the ground she has to sleep in for the night.

Alright, we have now reached a point where can almost wrap these individual threads up and send the characters together

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.

"You are very welcome, Sister. You are all more than deserving, for your dedication to these foals." Sister Ash says with a bow, as she extinguishes the lamp and retires to bed.

Very early. She has to be ready to pray before the sun rises to prepare her spells, so she'd be up like a rooster.
Actually, I guess I outta pick a new list of prepared spells for today.

At some point, a sister stops by and cracks open the door, and when she sees that Ash is up, says "We will all be at morning mass at 6:00 AM. We'll be getting up the foals after that"

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. Ponies walk past him, as he realizes this wasn't exactly a private area. A policemare stops, and gives him a dirty look, before going on her way.

Alright, but can you link the shillagah or whatever that weird Irish name is? I think you also have one wild shift

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).

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

That's interesting.
Rolling knowledge (religion) to see what I recognize about these particular Saints. Just their names would be fine though.
Sister Ash joins her sisters throughout the ceremony, carefully observing and absorbing any rituals she did not already recognize.
She makes a silent testement to the safety of the orphanage, as she beholds the arrival of the morning sun.

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....

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?

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.
