A deeper view of the dossier shows that the two griffons were observed with a group of ponies - two of whom are known socialists, at the very end of "Blackwood" road, heading into a group of buildings that are a part of the seaport of Baltimare

The seaport is on the east side of the city. The sea port includes a narrow strip of buildings along this stretch. Blackwood road is a road that runs from east to west. It is the North most road that dead-ends into the harbor. When you look from the end of the road straight on and East, you can see the sea.
Black wood road goes directly into a concrete paved area. On the left side of the road is a one story square building of white coloration with the phrase "United Dock Workers Union Hall" on it. It seems recently abandoned. To the left on the road is just open area where it seems trucks park. Into the paved area are four very large structures, two on the right and two on the left. It's like a square with four sides. On the left and closest to the end of the road is a 3 story building with a high arching roof that has some windows and two smoke stacks. This structure is a rolling mill. The next structure that is on the right and next to the water and seawall is a huge Rectangular structure that is two stories on the side furthest from the water, and contains a few offices, but a single floor with a high roof for most of its length on the side facing the sea, opening in a massive door. This structure is a pipe rolling facility. On the right, the closest building is a single floor with a very high arched roof. It is a warehouse that stores mostly liquid products contained in barrels. It has some offices that are on a sort of second floor elevated above the main floor, on the side close to the center of the set of structures. The next structure on the right is a single floor rectangular building with a flat roof. It is a warehouse for storing crates. It too has offices that are elevated above the main floor. On the sea, the area to the left of Blackwood road has no dock space, but the area to the left does. there is a dock which a reasonable sized ship could connect with

The first thing that Dark star notices is that this area is not abandoned. It is actively used by workers, and crates move around on the ground. A pony asks "can I help you?"

There is a trade off between how open you want the gun, and how easy you want it to be to retrieve. It could be placed in a top cabinet to the side in a side room that would never be found, but it would take a good 30 seconds to get it. It could also be placed immediately inside the window and just picked up through the window, but would be found immediately if somepony went inside the building

Iron looks dissapointed for a bit. He takes a closer look at her figure, see how handy can she be in an actual fight. "I can pass you some rocks if you need them." He fumbles inside the bear armor and snatches out his rock pouch, opening it in front of her. "I got it from the riverbank, outside the city."
AKA I want a description of your character currently

".. I guess I could take a couple." The mare replies, placing the rocks in her satchel.

Iron smiles. "Do not worry about the battle ahead. I am sure these weaklings will not try to kill such a nice mare." He gently pats the scaly mare. He really wanted to believe that. That these ponies had the decency not to fight mares. Fighting mares physically shows how weak the stallion is in his tribe.

"They have no honor, nor they any pride. They see themselves as a great mass striking against tyranny. As moral crusaders. And with a cause so righteous, nothing they do could be evil"

The mare in question is covered mostly in a nun's religious habit that doesn't seem to really fit her, although the part near her head appears to have been mostly torn away, allowing part of her peculiar swirling mane to flow freely, despite obvious efforts to restrain her.
If Iron looked closer, he might question if the creature is really a pony at all. Although she's roughly the same size of an Equestrian mare, she has several features that distinguish her as an entirely different species. Her mane is like a bush, and puffs out towards the front of her chest like a lions; and her tail (the part he can see) is visibly Leonid. The hoof currently clutched around her broom is split in two, like a reigndeer. Most visible, are the armor-like bronze scales that stretch from the tip of her nose, to what Iron can only assume to continue all the way down her back, in a scaly carapace that meshes almost seemlessly with her cedar fur. Her eyelashes are thick, like an Equestrian, but her smooth brows resemble those of a crystal pony. Her horn is a deep scarlet, curved and serated like a branch. Everything about her body seems peculiar.

"I see that they will be destroyed one way or the other. No honor causes any group to break down onto itself." Iron raised one of his forelegs, showing his spiky gauntlet. "But I will be sure to take down some with me."

"It's a very old term. It's means something along the lines of 'one who delivers the sages'. I can't say I understand the origin. We've been isolated for Equestrian society since before the imperial ages."

"It was a simple life." He started. "I grew up with my mother as my caretaker until I was about 4. Then I started the many trials to reach maturity. Things like hunting, foraging and fighting." He mused for a moment. "My father taught me how to do these things, but his weapon of choice was a spear. He was dumbfounded that I did not accept his weapon as a gift for my departure. I simply told him I would not need it." He chuckled "Maybe I can pick it up once this final trial is done with. I do not want to let his spear to rot. He had quite the fondness for it." He places his hoof on the table. "No mare in my tribe ever did anything more than medicine or taking care of children. They were nice mares, all of them." He chuckled "They would always give the colts some small gifts of cane sugar."

"Our tribe knows this. This is why the stallions venture out the world to complete their process of maturity. To see how corrupted this 'gift' of...'cee-vee-lai-sei-tion' has turned the outside world into misery." Iron ponders a bit. "I take it you did not share my fate by your comment."

"It's hardly all bad. Life can be easier with tools. You can live longer and wealthier. And it can be liberating. More choices. I am happy to have life doing other than just medicine or raising.... younglings down on a farm. And for that I have 'progress' to thank.
But in any event, you may not have a choice. You're daddy's spear was an obsolete relic when he was a fillie, and you'll find you will need much to make it out alive and free in this Brave New World"

Iron is bothered. "Yes, those tools that 'liberate' you from doing what you were supposed to do. Do not expect me to believe that your life is as good as home." Iron looks down "As 'obsolete' as you may think it is to keep these weapons, it gives the tribe stability from these ponies. Heritage is important and it shows our prowess when other submit to these tools. I shall show you the true strength of my tribe when the time comes." Iron pauses for a moment. "My name is Iron, by the way."

She smiles "nice to formally meet you, Iron. My name is Blue Skies. But I will say that I don't think you understand the situation. These ponies will be going to your own tribe. I take it you must be from one of the more isolated villages, bevcause Equestrians have been down there for centuries. Now, rich bandits wish to profit from ancient treasures, Industrialists from the north wish to exploit the forests, and Communists wish to start rebellion. All this is besides the threat of a Changeling invasion"

"I do not expect you to understand our power. Your use of tools blinded you of the real strength of our kind. That is why you think we would fall." Iron, somewhat bored, asks the mare. "What choices did you take with this 'liberation'?"

"I've read about how tribes have fought off and even expelled Equestrian garrisons before. What is different this time is that, with bauxite and rubber plants, the jungles are more desirable. Those that want it will be more determined and bring more force."
"As for me, you can see that I'm not raising foals or practicing medicine. My society was never that limiting for females anyways. But I specialize in... shall we say, 'intelligence.' Counter-insurgency and counter-espionage."

Iron cocks his head. "Do you not feel the need to bring and care of children to this world? Why do you desire something like espionage, which can lead you to danger of death?"
Iron looks down again. "And yes, the matured stallions that came back told the elders the same thing. How these rocks will bring us destruction. I did not hear the response, as I did not pay attention at that time."

The druid speaks up
"I hear ponies around these parts talk about 'progress' a lot lately.. but are ponies really happier today than they were centuries ago?"
She steps forward
"I came to the city, because I knew where a city stood, there would be suffering ponies. Food production has increased, but more ponies go hungry than ever before, unable to sustain themselves in the concrete jungle. Warriors found all sorts of new toys to play with that they promised would bring a 'swift end' to the war, but they only increased casualties.
Where this city once stood, there used to be nothing but bountiful rolling hills and lush fields, and the ponies who lived here were happy and content. Now it's a dessert of asphalt and iron, more polluted and more dangerous than ever before. The world as it's becoming is so dangerous, our foals have to spend decades of their lives training just to survive in it, when mere centuries ago they could make a living with little more than the virtue of their bodies. The artificial enclaves that ponies have created are certainly profitable for the few who can exploit them, but they're of little worth to the average ungulates who once thrived off of the bounty of nature."
She hangs her head
"Is that really progress to you?"
It's funny, this character is basically the utter opposite of my last one.

"Ponies of this age only want tools for the sake of getting ahead of other ponies. A short-lived advantage, that they choose to believe will bring them permanent peace. Tools of war spread more quickly than wildfire,and are twice as destructive. Military advantage only lasts as long as the one who has can suppress the one who has not. Every day, more is sacrificed to feed their war machine. At the rate it's going at, ponies could get so good at destroying things, that they might just reduce their homelands to ashes.." her eyes grow dull at that last line

This question definitely takes her off guard, and she gives an expression suggesting she's said something she shouldn't have. She then smiles, looks at her flank, and says "division of labor. Some are great with handling children, and some have other talents. I know where my talents lie."
>told the elders
"So I see you have some knowledge of the situation. Well, it's far from doomed, but never assume an opponent to be weak when you've never met them before. You will need to be strong, and you will need the help of what the natives of this land call 'friendship.'"

"You're wearing modern stitches aren't you? Both of you actually. You can piss on modernity all you want, when you get malaria later you'll be eternally grateful for a vaccine. And be grateful likewise that your water doesn't have manure in it because dying of dehydration from diarrhea is anything but pleasant.
As for 'this area used to be lush rolling hills,' well pardon me but this land is natural swamp. And I don't know if you've ever been on a stroll through the woods but it's filled with all sorts of monsters that will eat you. Chimera, Manticores, Bug Bears, Timber Wolves, Tassleworms, Cragodiles, great Dragons, and far, far more. This is all besides windigoes, sirens, and other ancient horrors the ancestors of this land faced.
You came from that Pransiscan orphanage up North, right? I take it that's where you're from. Ask any of those nuns or foals if they want to give up central heating, a brick exterior, and food produced with modern fertilizers for the open wilderness of the forests and swamps. I'm not talking about those really cuddly forests you have nearby where everything dangerous has been shot, I'm talking about real wilderness. i promise you every single one of them is happy to have their factory made blankets, even if they hate other aspects of this modern world. Seriously, go ask them if they want to live out in the Hayseed Swamp.
Yes I know damned well we have many hungry ponies. That is the reason the Communists are so popular. And those 'new toys' have been perfected by the Changelings. But the fact is the Changelings will have and use their toys regardless of what you do, it's just a matter of whether you will let yourself become their food."
>>69719
"My tools? Go ask the Griffons, the communists, and the Changelings to put away their Tanks, Bombs, and guns."

This question definitely takes her off guard, and she gives an expression suggesting she's said something she shouldn't have. She then smiles, looks at her flank, and says "division of labor. Some are great with handling children, and some have other talents. I know where my talents lie."

"You're wearing modern stitches aren't you? Both of you actually. You can piss on modernity all you want, when you get malaria later you'll be eternally grateful for a vaccine. And be grateful likewise that your water doesn't have manure in it because dying of dehydration from diarrhea is anything but pleasant.
As for 'this area used to be lush rolling hills,' well pardon me but this land is natural swamp. And I don't know if you've ever been on a stroll through the woods but it's filled with all sorts of monsters that will eat you. Chimera, Manticores, Bug Bears, Timber Wolves, Tassleworms, Cragodiles, great Dragons, and far, far more. This is all besides windigoes, sirens, and other ancient horrors the ancestors of this land faced.
You came from that Pransiscan orphanage up North, right? I take it that's where you're from. Ask any of those nuns or foals if they want to give up central heating, a brick exterior, and food produced with modern fertilizers for the open wilderness of the forests and swamps. I'm not talking about those really cuddly forests you have nearby where everything dangerous has been shot, I'm talking about real wilderness. i promise you every single one of them is happy to have their factory made blankets, even if they hate other aspects of this modern world. Seriously, go ask them if they want to live out in the Hayseed Swamp.
Yes I know damned well we have many hungry ponies. That is the reason the Communists are so popular. And those 'new toys' have been perfected by the Changelings. But the fact is the Changelings will have and use their toys regardless of what you do, it's just a matter of whether you will let yourself become their food."

Alright, lets's assume for the sake of argument that you all go to the docks. The area is as it is described in >>69636. Study that description.
At sunset, a few ponies are moving up, forward into the groups of buildings. Some stand outside. Several are in the Union Hall, which has a light on inside

Here's the thing. The outer/upper-most guards are the most isolated. Brie will assume they're expendable and a liability. He will kill them slowly like it was a playstation ninja game, using close-ranged, thrown dagger sneak attacks to stealth-kill his way in. Hopefully no one sees him (good stealth roll)

Brie keeps stabbing the air like a madpony, obviously having a pyschotic attack because he only eats mangos. He foams his mouth and does ten loops only to crash into one of the trucks, instantly tearing the truck in half, carving a straight line through concrete, sinks the Titanic and bounces on the water about twenty times. He finally stops when he crashes into a mango tree, which makes him calm himself down and recover his senses.

Fascist Education. If they get a base down south, that will prevent us from making a base here. We must stop this, both by infiltration and demoralizing the tribes, and by making attacks on the railways to halt their construction. We shall disguise ourselves as natives so as to direct hatred towards the natives, and stop the industrialists of the North from gaining favor with them. The Natives will fall into our fold, but only if the Fascists and the Capitalists Fail. We must also make attacks on their supply of rubber which they use for their war effort"

Hm, that seems way more problematic than before. Maybe he should head back down after this mission. Needless war could cause the destruction of his home and he was not going to let that happen. Damn weaklings, can't fight on their own and relies on others to do it.

This is the most Jew tier shit I've ever heard (in faction that is; real life is worse).

"Alright every pony, and now, for the guests of the night. The advisors."
Through the door, you can see a light of a small motor boat approach what you guess is the shore line. It stops, and after a minute of silence, a pony walks through the door. In this time, a set of ponies to try to play what seems to be a communist song, none other than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U06jlgpMtQs
This pony is a Unicorn Mare, with dark red hair and a cream colored coat, a color scheme similar to Rose from the show. Her cutie mark is visible as two hooves pressed against each other, and she wears a green uniform with a red belt. She wears glasses, and has strapped over her back a PPSh-41 Submachinegun, although you can see that the magazine is not in the gun.
The speaker waits for a decent moment to stop the music, then says "Our first adviser here is named Lavender Marecuse. She is sent to us by the Worker's Council of Stalliongrad. She is a graduate of the Comintern School in Saint Petershoof, where she studied military tactics, strategy, Markist-lemmonism philosophy, and weaponized magic. She is a Mage in her own right, and as a fillie studied abroad in the Canterlot School for Gifted Unicorns. She has had experience organizing Socialist uprisings in Hellquill and briefly in Brantbeak. She is now here to help us in our revolutionary struggle."
The speaker stands aside, and Marecuse moves up. She has a sort of magnetism to her, and you can see why ponies would follow her. She says, in a thick foriegn accent. "Comrades, fellow Workers of the World, that the proletarian should rise is the innevitable course of history. We here today are a part of that course of history, and I have been sent to you to help bring it about. You proud worlers of Baltimare have the will. And tonight on our ship we are bringing in weapons. But will and weapons are not enough. You need to know how to use these weapons to bring about your liberation. And thatis what I am here to teach you"

Marecuse steps aside, and the former speaker continues
"Our next and last adviser for the time being is also with us here tonight. His name is Ho Redclaw. Redclaw was a born to a humble pastoral family in what was then Brodfield. He saw firstclaw the oppression the Griffon nobles placed upon the common Griffon. At the very beginning of the Revolution, he joined the Griffin's Liberation Army, and fought against the Reactionaries in the Marshes, Jungles, and Rice fields of Prywhen as the workers established their state, and he fought again in the Mountains of Black Hollow. He is an expert in the art of Guerrilla Warfare in hostile environments
Through the door walks a giant Griffon with rust colored feathers. He too wears a green uniform, albeit one of a different make and style, as well as a green cap. His right eye is somewhat closed by eyelids that don't open fully, as if there is swelling on either side from a scar from an injury that was not quite enough to destroy the eye. He has a rifle on his back, and he holds in his right claw a Machete, although he has a perfectly good scabbard for it on his side. This is a very big bird. Very strong looking, and he could certainly take quite a many hits. You'd wonder how he could fly if his wings weren't so massive. He dwarfs the petite mare next to him. he has no anthem, and when he speaks, he too has a sort of magnetism to him. You can see why many have followed him before
"They tell me you have jungles and marshlands here. And they tell me that you have enemies of the common folk who need cutting down" He aims out his machete, and pulls in his lower beak in such a way that it appears to be a grin. "I've cut down many an enemy of the people in my years. And I can show you how too. I tell you, there is no education that can replace experience of having done it yourself, but I can guide you in your revolution. These capitalists are weak. The fascists are stronger, but they too shall fall"

Iron admires the griffon for a bit. He wonders why he would join such a faction full of weaklings when he had the strength to achieve greatness himself. Then he sees the rifle and his admiration wanes for a bit. He really hoped his claw cut as sharp as his tongue.

The Stairs, as mentioned before, are right at the entrance, to the right. They are straight and could very comfortably allow one pony to go up, but to place two ponies abreast on the stair would be very cramped. Effectively the stairs allow only one pony to go up or down at a time. This leads to a hallway upstairs. There is a door down on the far right end that is already open and be seen to exit down a gangway. There are three other rooms on the side of the hallway that faces the mill floor

Alright, I don't think characters can "go loud" until we have everyone available. However, there is still room for movement even just for individuals. Brie especially can do quite a number of things. There is also room to explore the rolling mill, and for the characters in the Union Hall to do things on their own

Iron, impatient to start the fight, decides to leave the gangway and explore the rooms that face the mill floor on the side of the hallway to pass time, hoping to, at the least, distract himself from boredom. Maybe he could find a very heavy object to toss over the gangway and crush somepony.

The documents detail a project for a 250 mile long oil pipeline that stretches from the Badlands to Baltimare. It appears there is a desire to exploit the traditional breeding grounds of the Dragons for Oil, pump it over mountains, and then through an area of rainforest known as "Kululu," and to the Baltimare Harbor. The jungles in question are those immediately south of Baltimarte, and are well north of the Tenochtitlan basin the mare earlier was speaking about - this seems to be a different infrastructure project. A look at a group of financiers shows some names that look like Manehattan industrialists, and a 50% stake by the New Mareland government

The second room gives off no details from the outside, except for a pinup Board with what seems to be the shift information of ponies. The wall is an austere white, and the door is grey.

The two walk outside the door, and blue skies mostly states at the cuddled colt. When the door closes, she says “They are brining in advisors. Two of them, as well as rifles. They are going to clear out in 40 minutes or less.”
Ollie: “The rise of the workers is a historical inevitability!”

“You two need to come to the docks, unless you have a difffent plan that is useful.”
Ollie: “can I come too?”

One of the two ponies comes through the door and into the hallway, turning to Iron. He says “the stairs are this way” pointing the opposite direction down the hall

Fuck it, if what I predict is correct, this whole place might turn into a vlusterfuck.
I'll bring him just so I can be the one to drag him out. Not that I can tell him anything that will change his mind.

Not yet. He would have observed Ash bizarrely start coddling Ollie, and then Blue skies rush in, and become equally fascinated with the colt coddling.

"I see.... Sir, you need to go back down stairs. We are keeping this area clear for security reasons, as well as that we don't want anycreature caught upstairs if a raid comes"

Across the street from the union hall are the two trucks, their headlights still shining in the night. In front of them are the foundry, the rolling mill, and the two warehouses. Ponies seem to be scurrying about near the warehouses

Blue skies: "Do you really want to take him where we are going?"
Ollie: "I want to be a part of it! Those stallions said that they don't want me there in case the police come and people start shooting. But I am a big kid"

Sister Ash looks torn for a moment, then turns to the colt.
"Why don't you stay here for now? If they didn't want you to come, I'm sure they had a good reason..."

That wasn't supposed to have a line through it. Also, a dagger is 1d4, not 1d3. Rerolling damage

Iron smiles. "Looks like you are weak. I knew you were by following this rhetoric."
I use Power Attack to increase his damage by 4 points and he attacks with spiked gauntlets at the guard.
If I miss, I will make my character break through the conference window and jump off it.

The Guard falls over, dead, from a mighty blow of Iron's huge right hoof. Out comes the second guard. He is carrying a Bolt-Action Rifle with a Bayonet fixed on the end, and is utterly horrified to see that his comrade has been killed in just six seconds, and starts to think that what he thought was just a drunkard was actually a serious security breach. Darkstar likewise arrives in the hallway
Darkstar and Shimmer have initiative over the guard, who with an expression of horror draws a whistle to his mouth, and clutches his rifle
>>70289
Do you want to keep your crit fail on a guard who was dead before Darkstar tried to swing?

The sorcerer does the only thing he can think of. He casts Scorching Ray to attack his hoof. Hopefully it will cause him to drop the rifle.

Believe it or not, a 10 is actually exactly the number you need to land a touch attack on an opponent with no dex bonus. The ray lands. Rolling damage

The Guard explodes in fire, and drops to the ground, dropping his rifle
One important detail I neglected to mention. His rifle is a Griffin model. That's important because Griffon models have trigger guards that are too small for a pony's hoof to fit through. This one has had its trigger guard removed entirely. It could discharge easily when dropped

I stamp out the fire.
"You guys do realize that we are no closer to stopping this from happening, and that we have a problem on our hooves right?"
