Dark Star has been contracted by the occupying government to lead a team to infiltrate and stop a meeting of the Communist party in Baltimare. He discovers that they are importing arms, and more importantly, special forces advisers from foreign nations. Things reach a literal boiling point when a warehouse of gasoline drums is set on fire, and now we will see who will live and who will die

Ash hears a very loud drawn-out sound, like a sort of typewriter perhaps
Bullets fly into the police car in a sort of line left to right. The stallion is hit three times, once in the head. The door and the windshield are hit and the windshield shatters. The mare on the driver’s side takes three hits and falls down to the ground. All this happens not more than 20 feet from Ash. A blood filled cough shows that the mare isn’t quite dead yet.

The Red maned unicorn with black fedora, coat, and submachine gun walks up further, next to Ash, and looks ahead down the dark road, aiming her gun that way. She looks to Ash and says “The police are here, sister.”
Dark Star, Onyx, and Shimmer see the same, but from 100 feet behind

He must have evacuated when the explosion occurred. I take it Ash wants to go into the big open area between the mare firing the gun and the other mares firing their guns, so she's in between the two sides fighting each other?

If this were a vidoegame, there would either be a cliff with 200 ft drop, an invisible wall, a whale that jumps and eats you, a minefield, or just a timer with the warning "leaving combat area: 10 seconds until character death"
But this isn't a video game. On the far end are police who are using a car as makeshift cover, pointing guns at those who want to proceed down the road

She can stand next to marecuse, who is in the alley between the Union Hall and the building next to it, or she can go back the way she came

Thought of a question regarding attacking: if a unicorn swings or throws a melee weapon using their magic, does the unicorn still add their Strength modifier to the attack bonus, or do they use a different ability?

Sister Ash meditates as a standard action, giving a prayer in the ancient language.
She turns into a bald eagle (medium) and soars up over the city.
Then she continues to scan the area looking for Ollie with her remaining move action.

Sister Ash grits her sharp teeth in despair and gives up her WindWall to cast Summon Natures Ally and summon an augmented dire wolf.
It has a 59 foot range, so I'll put it a mere 10 feet behind her to promtly charge her by surprise (flanking, no Dex bonus to AC for her).

Marecuse stares forward, aiming down range at covered officers. Ash summons a dire wolf, that springs forward and tears its fangs into Marecuse's back
Shimmer sends a sorching ray down range that hits her squarely in the chest, and lights her shirt on fire. Onyx charges forward and skewers her in the side with his halberd, and finally Dark Star shoots her with his shotgun, making white sparks against an invisible shield before penetrating through and into her face
She falls down, and with a brief flash of blue light invisible shield disappear. Then, with a flash of quickly fading light, Marecuse's cream colored coat turns to black, and her Blood red mane to a green-blue swiss cheese. Her legs are filled with holes that run straight through, her horn is bent, a green wing pokes out through her coat, and her one remaining eye is pure green. She is dead, a greenish blood surrounding her

Onyx then picks up the gun.

After pumping a few more rounds into the changeling for good measure What do you mean "accidentally fired?" Onyx is still pretty sure he can use it.

"They won't let me go down there, it's too dangerous."

Or statements to that effect, and hopefully these statements will give Ash an idea of what happened to the child when a freaking warehouse less than 1000 ft away exploded into a fireball

It's a similar situation to the liquid goods warehouse. Ponies come in and out in twos, sometimes maybe 4, sometimes none
A pony trots with cat-like silence past Ash, then turns back and comes to Ash. It's that neurotic CIA nigger that Dark Star brought with him who was staring creepily at Ash holding Ollie earlier. She says to Ash, "Did you hear the plan?"

Like chinese dragons, they're historically depicted as mixture of several different kinds of creatures, including but not limited to: horses, deer, goats, coyfish, girraffs, clams, camels, tigers, ox, dragons and the Western concept of unicorns.
For the FiM universe though, you could just leave them as "dragon-ponies".

Sister Ash could help him with that, if she actually knew what the plan was. She just wants the fighting to end already.

The canister was probably taken near the union hall, and is now in central pathway only if Dark Star and or Shimmer brought it back. I think you still have spiked gauntlets and hide armor

That's the one. She says "We found Iron and regrouped with him, but he is pretty severely injured from a fight with a griffon adviser. Dark Star also got shot. Anyways, they have a plan to lure the griffon out - he's now by the docks - to throw a canister of compressed explosive gas, shoot it, then magically light the gas. I think they want this to take place near where they are stacking the crates next to the seawall. All of the others are outside the front of the warehouse, if you want to see them"

Sister Ash gets into position, chanting a silent prayer as she gathers herself. She positions herself about 100 feet away from where the gas canister was meant to be thrown.
If someone looked closely at her face, they'd see bags at the corner of her eyes, from both stress and exhaustion.

It's not quite that simple. There are at least a dozen creatures around in that area of the docks. It's not clear who would and who would not recognize Iron. Further, which way would he like to approach the crates? He can go along the seawall, through the warehouse, or around the warehouse and through the back

Isn't she already in the warehouse?
As for witch regulations, only the religious-minded really care. The Governate and Sunset don't out-right ban magic besides higher level Necromancy

“When the big and mighty Iron thought he could take in a seasoned fighter all his own, I was well positioned in my hiding place. But I flew over to the water to see how the invincible one fared, and found he wasn’t doing so well himself. You must understand that this skinny body is hardly built for fighting, and my stealth is the only thing I have of any real value. You wouldn’t have lasted another 6 seconds against his blade, and even if you had, you would have been dead in the water. I could have saved myself and saved Dark Star his 200 bits. But instead, right there, in plain view on the pier, I shot a bolt into the back of the bird’s neck. And rather than forever ending the legend of Iron, he looked at me. Because of that, I was chased by several ponies, shot at several times, and am now without my best weapon - an unrecognizable face. So as you sit their with your honor and your pride, and your 200 bits for this murder-for-hire scheme, think about who will be protecting [i]you in the battle to come. Tell Dark Star that I owe him 200 bits the next time you see him.”

Blue Skies no longer sits silently. She stand up, walkover to Iron, and plops a revolver on top of a crate in front of Iron. She speaks with an enthusiastic malevolence.
“Alright plantation colt, I don’t think I can put this off any longer. You have dishonored and disrespected me. You have said that I have no worth or strength without a Stallion. You have made fun of the fact that I lost my homeland to social strife. You have implied that I am either entirely unfit to be a mother, or that I am infertile. Either way, you imply that I have no worth as a mare besides my role in reproduction, and you furthered implied I am not even fit for that. And you did all of this only to impress the fillie nun.
Now I know you are not well educated, so let me educate right now. I am a Nimbusian Homoioi - we Phalanxes who have driven back and defeated the armies of the Griffin Emperor for centuries, the guardian protectors of the ponies of the east. I am the descendant of a very long and very proud line of warrior mares, and an equally strong line of stallions, who are the better of any griffin knight in the line of battle. We proud mares of Nimbusia bear the strongest children, it is true, but we have more value in our sacred and ancient role as protectors of the East then a thousand worthless criminal stallions like you. I passed the above, a series of trials more daring than anything of your tribe. You, you are scarcely fit to be a helot.
I chose to risk my life early to save yours, a choice I should have known at the time was a bad one. I gave you the benefit of a doubt. And I regret that decision. But I do not intend to live with that regret. You say you are so strong? So courageous, so honorable? Then right here, right now, you and I duel to the death. Now don’t get me wrong, I am well versed in the art of subtlety. I could have just turned you over to the police, or shot you in the back. None of that will work for me. I need you to look at me, and understand that I will not accept such slander. I shall not be dishonored in such a way.
I may be the last daughter of Nimbusia. The society has allowed the helots and the unicorns into power, and ceded half its functions to foreign governments. The Pegasi of the Phalanx are no more. But if I am the last daughter of Nimbusia, I shall die proud. I shall show just just what courage and what strength a mare has.
So take that gun, and show us, do you have what it takes to be a Nimbusian Mare? Let’s duel”

Iron just looks at the mare, dumbfounded "I see that you truly are hurt by the loss of your kind like Ash here," He ruffles her mane. "If you truly wish for us to fight, we shall do it after this mission is over and both of us are rested and healed after this ordeal. There is no need for us to negate the progress made here. However, we shall fight hoof to hoof, no tools are allowed. Then you can show me the true strength of your kind, not just how you can wield a tool, because everyone can wield tools." Iron just raises one of his forelegs and points it towards Skies "I shall see your resolve fully when you show me the true strength of your body, not when you play with a tool that makes the job for you."

It only shows that you can kill ponies because you will it, but no one respects the pony who wields it. They just fear it until the weapon is gone. Do you see why your duel is flawed?"

He flies over. It looks like a pony spots him and aims s rifle at him... or not. They stop and lose interest.
He is on the mast. It’s a steam ship though, so the mast is not attached to sails, and it is overtop of a sort of bridge/control room. The two griffins he saw are facing the other way towards the pier and the shore

I must say I am more than a little bit saddened by the course of events today. I had hoped to and was excited to make Blue Skies a permanent liaison to the party for the Black Hooves faction, providing jobs for the party and even filling in as a rogue where necessary. I had very much liked the character, and planned her as being the unrooted and displaced stateless mare who longed for a loving family, while having an important secret. But her neuroticism, sarcasm, and tendency to reply to Iron’s constant insults with equal insults ran out her welcome very quickly. I knew she couldn’t stay, so she had to be removed. Oh well…

Kirins can become Niriks when enraged, which gives them fire immunity (although it apparently does not confer to equiptment..) and a 1d4 fire damage touch attack that can potentially set enemies on fire.
Not much for a caster, but pretty decent if combined with Wild Shape. Energy immunity is also one less thing to worry about when abjuring to protect those precious hit points.
I'd prefer to use that power sparingly though, since I made it part of her backstory that she dislikes doing it. Plus, it makes little sense for a pacifist nun (neutral; wannabe Neutral Good) to always be angry, so I'll reserve the fiery hooves for dire emergencies when innocents are in harm's way.

I had her prepare a few fire spells today, as a silent gesture of solidarity with the Celestians she was praying with, that particular one being Flamingplot Sphere. Heat Metal is also a spell for Clerics with the Sun Domain, so I prepared that too; although Chill Metal probably would have been safer.
Probably shouldn't have spent Call Lighting, but I wanted to make sure he was spooked off. Not much experience in playing vancian spellcasters (lot of decisions).

Actually, now that I look at it, most of the Granted spells for the Sun domain are spells on the Druid spell list, some of which only appear there. Heat Metal, Fire Seeds, Sunburst, etc.
Druids do have that animism theme, worshipping the sun and elements and whatnot. Fire and Light are two of the few energy evecation elements they get.

Fighter is a pretty simple class to play. They can't do very many things, but they're really good at what they do, to which is to smack their enemies with huge weapons and deal crippling amounts of damage.
I kind of prefer versitile classes that can do a lot of different things, even if they're not the best at any of them. Druid is good too because they can give up their prepared spells for summoning spells, like when Sister Ash gave up WindWall to summon that Dire Wolf.

Yeah, I know that they are versatile, but I would haver never guessed that, for example, magic users had to prepare spells, since Skyrim and other RPGs just gave you how to do the spell and then you did it, using up some spiritual energy to do so. That is why I'm mostly afraid of playing a magic class since I'm sure that:
A- The character will be a lot more complex, and therefore, have to put in more research on how wizards works (Maybe that's why most wizards are long beard robe types)
B- I won't even be sure if I am playing correctly by combat guidelines. Some examples are how far can I be from a melee enemy so that it doesn't hit me or how does dice even work for spellcasters.

Not all magic users have to prepare spells. Sorcerers, Bards, and Assassins are core classes that are able to cast arcane spells without preparation: they're spontaneous casters. Sorcerers and the like are limited to a certain number of spells that they know: they're more reliable and versitile in combat since they can cast any of their spells spontaneously (and get a lot more spells per day), but there's less things that they can do altogether.
Wizards, Druids, Paladins, Rangers and Clerics have to prepare spells before they can cast them: they're vancian casters. They have pre prepare their spells in advance, means that the spells they have, and the number of each spell they can cast, is set at the beginning of the day (or whenever you pray, if you're a Divine caster). They're versitile, since they can cast different spells day by day (with limitations), but if they have to make decisions when preparing and consider what spells may or may not be useful for that day.

You're playing a fighter, which means that you get 24 skills in total if Iron's Int is 10 or 11, and 16 skills in total if Iron's Int is 9 or lower
>>71759
A creature that can fly, and fly reasonably fast, is definitely not going to get positive stat modifiers where it will be used as a playable race
>>71737
I'm not sure you understand. Blue Skies was intended to be the embodiment of the war philosophy of the local chapter of the Black Hooves. It's an entirely different philosophy to Iron's. Iron's philosophy seems to be something like strength alone determines hierarchy, while The Black Hooves believe that the only thing that matters to dominance is who actually wins and achieves power. And even an objectively weaker contender can win sometimes, if they are smart, advantaged, lucky, or manipulative. Neither she nor the Fascists would play by Iron's rules when they could just change the game. I could go on for a very long time about this, but I am not sure I want to "tell" what I had intended to show in game.

There's no need to tell me OOC. Iron already has some rule bending to do too for his goals.

I was talking about the backup. I had like 72 skill points and forgot about the cutiemark thing.

If you meant by character class, it's not really that simple.
Unicorns in this game get +2 Int and -2 Str; which pretty much makes them the best at everything but two-handed melee (in my opinion).
From what I understand, most unicorns in Equestria aren't actually that powerful/magical. They seem to have a few spell-like abilities (their telekinesis is on par with Mage Hand), but only geniuses actually become powerful spellcasters; in that regard, they're a lost like gnomes. Twilight herself went to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns (the "gifted" word heavily implies sorcerous talent); and her obsession with books and study of magic makes her a quintessential Wizard (she even took Improved Familiar to have a Pseudodragon).
Most of the powerful spellcasters in the show seem to be Wizards to me, because of the presence of books and the emphasis on study. In fact, if Unicorns had a favored class, I'd say it should be Wizard.

So it's a mix. Problem is that they don't have to re-study a spell after using it, to my knowledge.

That's because FiM isn't D&D, and the showriters weren't really concerned with making their magic balanced (see: Glimmer fixing everything).
Twilight is definitely, absolutely a Wizard though. If she doesn't read at least one book every day, she'll die.

Also, with the Spell Mastery feat, Wizards can choose a one two of their favorite spells that they can prepare without consulting a book.
Sunburst and Starlight are also shown reading books in their studies of magic.

Twilight is a very powerful character. She may have taken some flaws to get some bonus feats. "Book dependency" and "literary anxiety" seem to be some drawbacks she took for extra power.

Nono, I don't want to do sorcerer. I'd rather go cleric and be a primary healer rather than shoot deadly lazors.

Clerics are useful. They can give up any of their prepared spells for healing spells. They don't get very many fancy lasers, but they get a lit of protective spells and buffs.

Maybe she comes back as another character. I think if I actually went and shot her, the GM would make sure that she dies in one hit.

That's what I was thinking (in hindsight).
Sister interfered because she believed that one of them was bound to die if they dueled with gunz, and she didn't want that (as opposed to boxing/wrestling, which would be nonlethal), since she really didn't want anypony to die. She was rather brash with her words because she considers dueling to be foolish, which is actually related to her backstory. She even spent her Heat Metal Spell, which I had intended to use on the weapons of the remaining communists...
Maybe it wasn't so cool to mock her out of character though. She had some decent complexity.
