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.

>>70542Sister Ash speaks up.
"You ponies are almost done here. Why don't you take a break and we'll finish up for when you're ready to ship out?"
>>70542Fuck it, let's go buddybuddy with the commies for now, maybe he has a Super Special Technique for fighting unarmed or some shitIron tries to approach the advisor for him to hear his question "Do you have a particular fighting style with your machete?" Iron asks the advisor. "Your strength is quite impressive and I believe I can learn a lot from you."
>>70544"Oh no, there are still many crates still on the ship and on the dock, as well as the other warehouse, we are struggling to get them all into these buildings so we can hide some of them here, and ship some out tonight"
>>70545"Certainly"
He draws his machete, and shows a fairly simple hack and slash, as well as a disarming technique for when your opponent has a two handed weapon
>>70546Iron was impressed by the speed of his combo strike and his disarming technique. "I know that some will try to disarm you when in melee combat, do you have any particular moves when that happens?"
>>70547He smiles and looks at Iron. "Have a firm grip on your weapon, and stab them" He acts out this with the machete
>>70546Sister Ash walks further into the warehouse, where all of the crates were stacked up.
>>70548Iron cocks his head slightly. "I do not mean to disrespect, but are you implying you never got caught off guard without any of your weapons by the enemy?"
>>70548If I try to pick the machete from the advisor either by force or peacefully, does it cause problems because of the gauntlets aka making the gauntlets or the machete fall down on the floor?
>>70549Inside the liquid storage warehouse she can see a stack of at least 10 crates. They are adjacent to the Gasoline barrels, some of which have been taken down from their pyramid
>>70550"Always have a machete on claw and be quick on the draw. They have tried to surprise us before. I was sleeping in a foxhole outside Sydia when a royalist tried to bayonet me. I grabbed his rifle and pulled it towards me. He fell down and I punched him, then punched him more and finally tore him apart with my machete. When you are fighting the fascists they will not be so subtle. They will wake you up with Artillery and Dive bombers"
>>70552Are there ponies in the room?
>>70553That varies minute by minute, they move in and out
>>70552>SydiaIron, kind of upset he did not embrace the true strength that unarmed combat gives to its wielders, still was impressed by the readiness of combat the griffon has. He wonders how fast he could pull out of his sheath if he threatened him when the machete was inside it. "That is quite impressive. To whom am I speaking to? Your prowess in combat is one that many ponies should upkeep and I cannot help but be amazed by your skill." Iron slouches his posture a bit. "It is quite a shame you never took up unarmed practice. Many ponies would not be able to purchase weapons for the cause, and unarmed combat requires no monetary investment."
>>70553"Okay.. Here goes nothing."
Sister Ash moves about ~40 feet away from the entrance (as far as she can move at this range), and focuses on her breathing, fixing her what's left of her shawl over her eyes as they glow faintly.
As soon as she sees that there are no ponies immediately inside the storage room, she employs her Fiery Burst skill, to cause an eruption of flame right beneath the fuel tanks, dealing 3d6 fire damage to all objects within a 10 foot circle.
>>70556>>70552Dark Star moves down stairs
[10d20 = 103]>>70555"The ponies of this continent have been so drained of their wealth by the industrialists and the nobles that they scarcely have the means to arm themselves. No matter. That is why we are shipping in arms to help with the World Revolution. But if you mean fighting claw to claw - I've had more than a few claw fights in my day
>>70556Blue skies flies the fuck out of the way. I think this requires some dice rolls
>>70560"What have I done..?" the ex-nun eeps as she watches the ghoulish white flames lick the sides of fuel barrels
>>70561"And I thought artillery made a nice boom"
>>70562"Shush..!" The Kirin whispers as she backs backs away from the scene using her remaining move action.
>>70560"How did you manage with unarmed combat? Tell me about them."
>>70558>>70555>>70516An explosion can be heard nearby
>>70559Fire lights up behind you, and an explosion can be heard. The two ponies drop the crate and run
>>70561One of the barrels explodes almost instantly, while another falls over and spreads flaming liquid across the floor. Most of the barrels do not have enough oxygen to explode, but they are beginning to boil. the vast majority of the liquid is now unburned
>>70565Iron waits for the griffon advisor's reaction and if he moves, he moves with him.
>>70565"Fire! Fire! Everyone run! Call the ϟafety ϟquads!" The Kirin mare screams genuinely as she flees the scene
>>70569"Either our friends are in trouble... or they are going to be."
[1d2 = 2]
On the rolling mill floor, everycreature hears the explosions
"I told those imbeciles not to smoke around those drums when hiding the guns!" A mare shouts
Everypony is pannicking, until Marecuse yells "QUEIT!"
They are calmed, and Redclaw, Marecuse, and the mare who seems to be the organizer stand together in a trio.
"We had 30 more minutes to move guns. That accident has forced our hoof. We have already lost maybe a third of our guns. Everypony, our 30 minutes is gone. We now have 5 minutes maybe before police and firemares arrive on scene. We must either blow up the other warehouse and move the ship out of the harbor now, or we must shoot at the first responders to buy time. If we do the former, we will lose at least half our remaining arms. If we do the latter, civilians will die, but we will save the revolution. Mares and Gentlecolts, we must decide now
1. They leave immediately
2. They decide to kill the firefighters who arrive on scene.
Rolling 1d2
>>70572Oh joy, a bloodbath
This can't go badly for everyone.
>>70572REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
STUPID COMMIES!
>>70572They Decide, and Marecuse loads her submachinegun.
"The Revolution is too important to delay for the sake of a few stooges of the Fascists, even if they are otherwise honorable. Everypony, you are now drafted into the revolution. Half of you will move crates quickly, half of you will defend."
They pick up arms, and Redclaw loads a stripper clip into his rifle
>>70572>>70573>>70574I'm expecting both of you to be attacked. I say warn the firefighters when they arrive. Maybe stay at the outskirts to warn them.
[1d20+5 = 21]>>70575Listen check to see if I hear this
>>70577Not even with a 16 can you hear what is said inside the rolling mill
Blue Skies: "I wish you had waited on that, you probably forced their hoof. In anycase, if all you wanted to do was start a fire, why not just light a match? you could have saved the ranged fire spell for their battle mage"
[1d20+6 = 8]>>70572*Dark Star Draws his revolver and shoot at the mare with the ppsh*
>>70575Iron is somewhat dissatisfied when he saw Redclaw loaded his rifle. At least he would use his blade when the time comes. Of course, he shall follow him for a chance to strike him alone, maybe honorably, asking for a fight one-on-one hoof-to-claw.
>>70578"Welp. Too late to reason why, now's time to do and die."
Onyx grabs his halberd and looks around for a suitable position.
>>70582We did have explosives to throw. But we can figure out something...
>>70579I'm going to give you the option to reconsider shooting her, since the only way you would have killed her at once anyways is with a nat 20, and there is basically no way your character could survive a single round of submachine gun fire without cover
>>70580Redclaw goes out the big door. At this point and only this point can you see that they have a ship at a dock. He yells to them "take the crates to train cars. We are not leaving these arms behind!"
>>70578Ash's expression betrays a mixture of confusion and fear and guilt all at once.
"I.. I don't know! What am I supposed to do? Ponies could get hurt!"
"And what's a match?"
>>70578What can I see room whhere I am?
>>70585The sorcerer runs to get the explosives.
>>70585Iron follows Redclaw and helps the movement process, just to gain trust with them. He ensures to put on his back as much as he can carry just to show off to the griffon. I will fight you, he thought, just not yet.
>>70585yea Dark Star Goes up to the gangway and tells spark
>>70584 "bring the propane"
