A D&D RP game based on My Little Pony, and the Hearts of Iron 4 mod Equestria at War, featuring an Equestria where the Princesses have been deposed, and Equestria is split between Changelings and a former Equestrian colony
Thus far, Dark Star has joined the fascist faction, and is taking on a job to assemble a team to stop a Communist cell. Onyx is no longer being detained, Ash has sort of joined a nunnery, Iron has joined the Waterside gang as a loanshark, Brie is still being edgy, and a new unicorn has joined. All are ready to reconnoiter the Docks.

>>70389Now how do you plan to do that exactly? The crane's hook is best accessed from the Mill floor
>>70390It remains to be seen if the way is blocked by a conference table
>>70391I think I have a better ideaIron listens to the amount of noise the ponies below are doing to see if he can carry the table on his back through the gangway closest to her and throw it down at the mare.
>>70391actually dark star tries to get close to the mare with the gun
>>70392I can do fortitude saves to endure those extra 50 pounds right? If not I'll go with lift off ground of 800lbs for the carrying
>>70392The ponies are reasonably noisy, talking, cheering, and so forth, and the floors are not sound sensitive.
>>70393Dark Star sees that the mare, who was previously seen standing next to the door, is now on the left side of the floor, perhaps 30ft from the left gangway and 20ft from the central gangway, and is using her telekinesis to give a demonstration of how to strip a rifle and reassemble it
>>70395Iron carries the table until he is perpendicular in the 2nd dimension from the left gangway
unless I can go through the middle path to the female target and aims his throw, but does not commit just yet.
>>70396Where is Darkstar? Did he go downstairs and onto the mill floor?
>>70397There's a lot of things to think about with this post
>>70398Honestly, you have the time, because I don't think I'll throw it at her until everyone is here too.
I must admit, it probably is stupid, but eh, if it works, it works.
>>70398yea he went down to the mill floor
>>70398One actual question: From this height, is the table's damage lethal aka can go below -10HP?
>>70399The first is that the Left gangway turns off from the hallway abruptly. Getting an object that is 20ft long down it would be an accomplishment. The second is that the gangway is about 3ft wide. That's enough to push the table down, and possibly even crouch behind it, but not do much maneuvering with it. The third is that it has a basic railing meaning the table would need to either be flipped over the railing (doable, but it would go straight down). The fourth thing is that this thing weights 450 pounds, or a little over 200 kilograms for you folks in countries that don't have freedom and use French Revolution units.
Finally, the gangway over the floor is every bit as visible to the ponies on the floor as the ponies on the floor are visible from the gangway. The Gangway over the center is less visible from the floor. This isn't that big of an issue because a pony on the gangway isn't that weird of a thing to see, and if a pony did look up, they'd soon look away. But a 20ft hardwood conference table like ones you see in movies where they have scenes in corporate boardrooms - nopony who sees that on a steel gangway is going to stop looking at it if they happened to see it out of the corner of their eye
>>70401Height is probably at least 20ft, I think that would depend on just how squarely the table hits them and how
>>70400Alright, it is so
>>70402It would need to be either flipped over the railing or lifted over the head
>>70402>>70401Get Shimmering Spark to help
>>70402Damn, what a turnoff. Well, I remember some of us had crossbows, if we do, we can just place the pony with the best sharpshooter skill and shoot from there to kill her or maybe even the unicorn can shoot a bolt of something lethal to the mare if we bolt it after that.
Man, I'm wracking my brains here>>70404He can't help twisting and bending a table through a hallway, that much is right.
>>70406Maybe you can lure her upstairs and then I can ambush her? I suppose you'll need some bluff checks, maybe even a seduce check if you're going there.
>>70405>>70406I'm not sure about this plan really...
I go check out some of these rooms that were left unexplored.
>>70379Let's try the one on the left.
>>70408Oh, welcome back, if you can think up a plan OOC, I'd be glad, cause my brain is fried already.
>>70408The room on the left is what is basically a breakroom, with a refrigerator, several cabinets, and a sink visible. There are multiple "first aid" stations visible on the wall. Would you like to explore the room in more depth or move on?
>>70409Well, I think that we need to maybe lure them into a room to at least try a stealth option. We are never going to survive a full on assault once the attack happens. That's probably why we needed a rouge, to do the stealth kill while they are distracted. Doing things from the second level seems only useful with a ranged attack we can't use without breaking cover.
>>70411More indepth search, along with checking out the first aid.
>>70412>>70409the advisers are the only real threat here tbh. we should take them out possibly by luring them somewhere, and them we need to get into the warehouse were cauldron is.
>>70413On top of the counters are a set of paper towels, a toaster, and a coffee maker. under the sink is more paper towels, a set of bleach, and a set of insect killer. In cabinets are several ceramic plates, glass containers, a few pots and pans, and a coffee container. In drawers are coffee filters, straws, spoons, and both butter and steak knives. In the Refrigerator is a half eaten cake, and a sandwich with a paper note over it saying "do not steal." The first aid station has many types of bandages, adhesives, bandaids, painkiller pills, cottonballs, and rubbing alcohol. There is also some acid neutralizer and wash
>>70412>>70414Oh damn, now I feel like I need Brie right about now. Hope he comes back. My planning skills are spent. If you need any strength requirements Iron is on the second floor next to the stairs, bummed out since he cannot throw the table. I'll be here, just not contributing anymore in the planning process.
>>70416Remember that Onyx and Ash also exist, they are just separate from the three of you
>>70416Cant we move the gangway so you could get a better angle on the throw?
>>70415Why would a communist put don't steal? The sandwich belongs to the ponies clearly. If nothing else, the poisons may prove useful. But for now, the next room awaits at the end of the hall.
>>70416Your plan can be how to be the best containment when we get bad dice rolls, because we will. When we lead them in a room, do you think barricading the door would work?
>>70419I think I can take the table downstairs and place it inside the bathroom, then angle it in a way to block the door with a push. Only problem may be that the table could be seen by anypony who enters the bathroom. Any other barricades for the door that are more subtle?
>>70422If it comes down to it, you. You could stand guard outside the room and explain away the barricade, or intimidate. Because a dice roll is as good of a shot as them just immediately calling guards on us.
>>70419This room opens to the main floor. Across one side of the room is a set of lockers, while the other side has lots of welding equipment. It has protective glasses, welding masks, soldering sticks, cutting torches, big tanks of Acetylene gas, tubes, gloves, welding aprons, trolleys, pressure regulators, and oxygen tanks.
>>70420A spray container
>>70422>>70417Were there any bookshelves in the office?
>>70423I can break one of the toilets so I don't need to do a bluff check that the bathroom is broken to make things easier still.
>>70425There were no separate bookshelves as items of furniture
>>70420>>70419>>70424Shimmering Spark would your character know how to make gas?
>>70422>>70425>>70426You guys haven't even explored all of the rooms, and you're thinking about breaking apart toilets?
>>70424Potential explosives. Noted.
>>70428I don't think so... And I'm not sure how that would be pulled of at the moment.
>>70429I'm trying here. How much time we got left anyhow?
>>70430Hard to say, maybe 30 minutes, although the other characters would have more time because of their relative starting times. Hell, Brie would have an hour
>>70430So the bathroom ambush is a no-go?
>>70431If only Brie would stop getting drunk on game days and join us proper.
>>70433>>70432This all depends on what you guys think is the best battle plan. Do we want to poison them? It may be challenging to get them to eat something, but then again, we could mix the vodka we found upstairs with the bleach. That might do the trick. We also could do the assault in the bathroom. The problem is getting found out. Once poison is a go, then they will know it's us. And if the cover is blown in the bathroom, we are in the same spot.
If it was me, probably the poison. And with the explosives, maybe I can make a distraction should something go wrong. Only one way to try.
>>70434>If it was me, probably the poison. And with the explosives, maybe I can make a distraction should something go wrong. Only one way to try.This sounds like the best plan
>>70434The roles are reversed. I'll go with your plan.
>>70436>>70434Could we somehow do both plans?
a 450lb table that is ungainly as all hell to move around is considered an optimal blunt object to drop from a height, but an 80 pound steel cylinder of highly compressed explosive gas which could actually be carried around or thrown isn't given a single second's thought.... I can't say I understand
>>70438Blame it on lack of sleep.
>>70438Also, shouldn't the ponies down there see the explosive cannister like the table?
