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.

>>70904>Ran past herI guess that'd make sense....
Sister Ash continues her endeavor to find the list colt
>>70907The Union hall still has its light on. Obviously the Trucks are gone, but a firetruck has pulled up across the street
>>70908She runs through the hall, crying out for the foal
"Ollie! Ollie?!"
>>70899Can I suder his machete to see if I break it?
>>70910You could try I guess, and leave him only with his talons, but are you sure you want to spend one more round in combat?
>>70909She runs into the hall. Neither Ollie nor either stallion can be seen in the "event area," or the room that is there when you first go through the doors
>>70911Am I all set for the game? Or is there something left for me to do?
>>70911"Ollie?!" She shouts once more, as she runs through to the next room, and then out the door
>>70912>>70912I think you are set to begin. All we need now is a reason he'd be in Baltimare
>>70913I think we'll put this on pause for the night, seeing as how most of the players are gone >>70914Alrighty then. I suppose we'll leave this for tomorrow, if we're putting the game on pause.
>>70914[Panicked Kirin noises]
Okay. I should've been asleep 4 hours ago anyway.
>>70911One question before I answer, do I go first and the griffon attacks next or we both attack simultaneously? If it's the latter I would ceirtanly flee, if not I can break its machete if it has a hardness less than 10 of course.
Question for the next session. Night all.
>>70917>>70917You can try to sunder his weapon. Please note that in order to attempt a sunder, first your opponent must fail to damage you on his attack of opportunity. That is, he will try to stab you with his Machete in a free attack with his +11 bonus. If his attack fails, you must then make an opposed attack roll against his weapon. He gets a +4 bonus because he is wielding his machete two handed. So if he fails to hit you on his attack of opportunity, and then if you win against his opposed attack roll, which he will have a +5 total advantage on, then you can damage his weapon. Please note that just because you do damage to his weapon doesn't mean that you have done enough damage to shatter it, so you may still fail even if you win the first two steps.
>>70915The other players are in a sort of mass combat encounter, so your character would start off separately. The first four characters all had their own little adventures on their own, one joining a nunnery, another joining a gang and doing enforcer work loan sharking, another joining the federal police as a deputy, and a another killing a gangster who was threatening a shop keeper for protection money, then being detained for questioning over it, and then being arrested on suspicion of being a changeling spy.
>>70918I know, but I wasn't sure if you calling their encounter off for the night wasn't also so you could get some sleep.
>>70921You've only lost like 3 health points. Iron has lost 31
from a single round of combat and attack of opportunity>>70922We'll see what we can do
>>70923I take it you're here, now? Should we begin?
>>70925We could, although I can't say I have any ideas
>>70926Sister Ash would still be looking for Ollie.
>>70926I've got one that works. A basic one, but it's an idea nonetheless.On the streets of Baltimare, a lone and strange-looking unicorn stallion, greatsword at his side, makes his way through the lamp-lit streets, looking for lodging and otherwise in an unfamiliar city.
>>70929The buildings in downtown are fairly large. A few 10+ story office buildings stand in a strand in teh central business district. 3 to 5 floor apartment buildings and department stores dominate most everywhere else in the densest locations, while more than a few factory smokestacks protrude in most directions on the horizon. This is a modern industrial city. It is not nearly as big as Manehattan. It is not as glamorous as Canterlot, nor as wealthy as Los Pegasus, but it remains the Urban cornerstone of the Equestrian Southeast. Think of it as a poor-mare's Manehattan. No.... that title belongs to Fillydelphia. Maybe think of it as a poor-mare's Fillydelphia
What sort of lodging is he looking for? Formal hotels exist, as do business owners and residents renting out spare rooms
[1d20+12 = 25]
Are there any rooms left in the building Ollie could have gone to?
Rolling survival to try to pick up tracks.
>>70930How is it compared to ponyville?
>>70930Unused to cities in general, he's put off by the shear scale of it all, and how strangely tiny it makes him feel.
As for the issue of lodging, he considers something formal for his immediate needs, but decides something less-so is in order. All he needs is a room, a bath, and some employment suiting his abilities. In this pursuit, he continues the search, looking for a place where the owner would have some information for him.
>>70931The
>>70932A hell of a lot larger, and one hell of a lot less quaint. The architecture tends to be more brick based than the almost Germanic style architecture of wooden and thatched roof houses of Ponyville
>>70931Indeed there are other rooms in the hall. One set of (recent) tracks veers off to a hall on the side, and many sets of tracks go inside and outside of the front door
>>70933Screw it, I'm placing you with the rest
More expensive and formal hotels exist, but cheap and longer lasting lodging can be found in lofts above the Eastside Tavern, a two story brick building Between the commercial town center and the factories of the waterside district. Well, that's what a paper on the door says anyways
>>70934Neat.He takes another look at the building before pressing on inside, getting an idea of what stands before him.
>>70934...
How big are these recent tracks? Are they colt-sized?
>>70934Has Dark Star made it outside?
>>70935When he enters the building, he sees the bar to high right, with a lone bar tender and one grey earthpony stallion far down in the bar. A few ponies sit in a booth to the far left, and in the back, a couple ponies play pool
He sees a number of posters on the wall. One particularly noteworthy poster shows a Stallion asleep in bed, right next to a drooling and hissing black changeling. The caption reads "beware who you take home at night. Your date might just be a changeling." Still another poster warns that Changelings plan subversive activities. What must be an old Equestrian recruitment poster is also on the wall
>>70936Indeed, some of the tracks appear to be colt sized
>>70937It may take him some time to run, but sure
>>70939Sister Ash follows the colt tracks in a hurry (although at only half her normal running spead, because she's following tracks).
>>70939Besides contemplating the old recruitment poster for a couple seconds and how it managed to survive through the city's occupation, little else piques his interest leading him to go straight for the barkeeper. He offers a simple "Greetings" with a slight Stalliongrader accent once he reaches the bar.
>>70940She goes into the hall and sees that tracks variously go into two rooms. One is just a bathroom, the other is an empty room that doesn't seem to have any foals in it
>>70941He seems surprised for a moment, and then says "what can i get for you?"
>>70939I follow Dark Star with explosives and drink in tow.
>>70943Sister Ash proceeds into the bathroom, still coughing back bit of door as she tries to calm herself down.
>>70947There is nopony in the bathroom. It also appears that they've shut the water off in the building, which carries it's own set of implications
>>70946Just checking."One room, and one bath, if it pleases you." He also takes a quick looks down at the weapon at his side. "And, uh...'information', if you can. I am in market for employment."
>>70948Confused, she backs away and checks the other room.
Also how could she tell they'd shut the water off?
I had to pick up a pizza>>70950>How could she tellYou can smell when someone has used a toilet where there is no water or flushing.
The other room looks like it has not been used extensively. A window is broken
>>70949"Well, we arrange that." He pauses again, and asks "what sort of information?"
>>70951It's all good. Hope you enjoy your peetzer."As I have said, employment. Anyone who would be in need of pony who can fight."
[1d20+12 = 13]>>70951"But.. his hoofprints were right here.."
Sister Ash is now very confused, wondering if she followed the tracks improperly.
Rolling survival to try to find the trail again.
>>70953REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>70952He looks down at the sword. "
Who are you?"
>>70953Oh dear. Does his trail go everywhere or nowhere? Is that a colt's hoofprint, or a stallion's?
