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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

>Tfw if I become Nuetral Good I lose 3 summons and 6 spells
Meh, no big deal. I was prepared for alignment restrictions when I chose to play a divine caster. I originally thought of her as a purely good, unwavering exalted character, but I think I put her s bit too high and mighty so I switched her up a bit (admittingly, because I couldn't take the feat I wanted).
That being said, I'm only just calling her Nuetral because she herself believes she hasn't done enough to be considered good. She knows that assisting the poor and raising children is a universal virtue, so she committed herself to that cause for the sake of helping herself; however, she hasn't really attained any motivations to fight evil yet, because she herself isn't sure of her own convictions. I want to give her some more solid motivations as the story progresses and make her an exalted-tier character who traveled across lands fighting evil and ugliness to protect the world.

Well, that's the problem here. If you want to be a complete dick to every person you meet within a minute of meeting them and regardless of what they say, then you better make damned sure that you actually are, as a matter of fact, stronger than them. Iron's fighting style makes him actually a weaker character than Onyx and Silver, who are also level 5 fighters but are optimized. He would probably lose against these characters.
There is only one character thus far introduced in this setting that would obey Iron's demand to go hoof to hoof in unarmed combat when they had realistic alternatives. That character is Ho Redclaw the GLA Fighter. He would have told his mooks to stand down, put away his machete, put away his rifle, and even put away his talons if Iron had requested it, for a complete duel. Instead, Iron chose to attack this character stealthily and try to surprise him. Every single other NPC villian, or hell, even the mooks, would have called for 10 allies or mooks to shoot him from a range he couldn't harm him, runaway and then call in 10 mooks, or shot him in the face while ordering 10 mooks to attack. Marecuse would have shot him or even gone invisible. That gang member would have had henchmen 100 feet away shoot him at once. And do you think that it's just an astonishing coincidence that a minute after the Black Hooves agent leaves the scene, the Black Hooves have sent in the Right Wing Death Squads?
The scene with the Iron character that truly stands out to me is when he challenged the Capo on the docks. I know the character didn't actually know what was going on, but if you talked that way to an actual Mexican Cartel member, they would come at you in at least threes, kick your teeth in, stab you, continually kick you on the ground, and basically kept beating you until you learned to respect them. Iron can say "I am better than you because I can beat you in a fist fight" to an NPC that never threatened him, but the only response he will ever get from them is "If you want me to kill you, I can just shoot you with my gun and stab you with my knife." Well, he will eventually get one that just pulls out a gun and shoots him.
>>71796
She wasn't really intended to be a feminist, Iron was just extremely condescending to a character he had to know was a secret police agent. Why would a tribal society only allow women to care for children anyways? Do they really have that much spare labor that they can just throw away half their work force? I think real tribal societies have women grind flower and make crafts and goods, because obviously someone needs to do that work and the men are doing other things.

Well damn. Don't worry, these encounters will make him grow more fond of melee weapons later on. Heck, maybe I'll take out the Improved Unarmed feat and go full two-handed hammer build if you let me, as well as going full armor with the bits I have (~750 or so).
I'll adapt to the circumstances that you throw up. That's a D&D player should do.

I really need to work on cues, since I thought he was an expert in guerilla tactics, he would be more logical than to duel Iron 1v1 hooves only

With regards to builds, there are a few possibilities. Unarmed combat is actually a pretty massive advantage under certain circumstances, specifically when killing an opponent would result in unwanted police attention. If you wish to do that, I recommend taking the two-weapon fighting feet and using both hooves, that way you can have two attacks, and do strength damage times 1 1/2, rather than just full strength damage. The other great advantage fighters have is weapon specialization, which gives +2 damage to each attack with the relevant weapon. Attach that to, well, something.
Also, if saying something in real life would cause an otherwise non-threatening person to punch you in the face, expect the same to happen here

Two weapon Fighting requires a pretty high Dex score to advance though.
If he had just a 1 Monk level, he'd get an extra attack per round, and his hooves would count as two-handed weapons (so they'd do double damage on a power attack). Plus, the bonus feats that come at the earliest levels in Monk.

I think so.
Really, technical details are up to the GM. I think he would have had a vision for how he intended Earth Ponies to find, so ask him. The bonus to strength and Constitution implies melee focus.

She did more than that. First, she made a sarcastic remark bout the legality of dueling and claimed to not like dueling. Then, in the very next line, she said that a proper duel requires the terms to be set by the one who is challenged, and not the challenger, which first of all is stupid and not how dueling works, but secondly and more importantly would require her to think of dueling as proper, and unambiguously favors Iron. It's pretty damned obvious when you blatantly contradict yourself in the very next sentence that you don't actually mean what you say, you are just making arguments to try to favor Iron in a fight that never involved Ash

Yeah, I was a bit inconsistent there.
Ash was just trying to stop a fight, but I couldn't help myself from asserting my own beliefs concerning duels/matches (which is, that that when you challenge someone, you fight on their terms).
I can't say that that was the most in-character thing to do, but I was close to passing out then, so I made some mistakes.

Although, in that regard, she said that dueling was "frowned upon" where she came from, which was actually my way of hinting it as a part of her backstory that I wanted to reveal later.
Her agreement with Iron was also in part her way of discouraging Blue from proceeding with the duel, because she thought that blue would put it off until later if she didn't consider the circumstances to be honorable enough.
It wasn't the best course of action or the fairest, but that's vaguely what was going through my head at the time.

I'd hate to get overly technical, but I'm going to need at least an estimate of how many feet away he is, before I figure out how I'm going to cast my spells.

The area is almost perfectly flat and open, save for the one stack of crates, and the two two-and-a-half-ton trucks that are about 20 feet from it, and ten feet apart. Redclaw is between one truck and the stack of crates. The stack of crates is maybe 15 ft in diameter

Hmmmmmm...
I guess I'll have to avoid casting spells with verbal or somatic components then, or at least not those tracable to the caster..
I guess there's fiery burst, although it only has a 40 foot reach, and will only do 2d6 since I summoned that wolf..
If she took out the trucks tires or gas tanks that way, they could easily believe it was a planned booby-trap /by infiltrators.
Sister Ash moves closer to the truck and crates along the wall of the warehouse, moving defensively (AC 12) until she's just 40 feet away from the truck (using the crates as cover).

If we're ready to go, I would like to use a Fiery Burst to create a very small explosion beneath one of the trucks to disable it.

Damage is 3d6 if you have the highest level spell. That is not as good as a fighter gets when they hit, but a Fighter has to roll dice to see if they hit while the infinite ammo weightless stealth flamethrower is automatic, and a fighter can't summon a dire wolf or change shape into a dire wolf. It's also more damage than most guns do, but with infinite ammo and no noise
>>71863
Many ponies are there loading crates, so he could get right up to him with no suspicion. It looks like Dark Star is shooting Redclaw and Iron is also hitting him, so it would be wise for Onyx to target other NPCs with arms

Can I possibly myself around the other side of the crates so that they can't see me cast? I was hoping to use the crates for some kind of cover.
I want to summon a support creature to distract Redclaw for 5 rounds, but that's a full round action with somatic components (wiggling her arms in a voodoo fashion). My AC is 12, so I'm fucked if they notice me.

Here is the situation

>>72061
If you want a higher count, run towards the motor boat. Also remember that you have a Carbine with Weapon Specialization

Iron keeps looking around for enemies to fight. He doesn't remember that he had to kill every single one of them here, just the two advisors. Maybe the mare is hiding around here? I do get to roll initiative again next fight, right?

No. As I said, he does not know that the mare advisor is a changeling, or that he's dead either. He believes that's why they are all there still and not running away on the boat.

Basically we killed some griffons. Brie encountered a griffon who can't speak ponish and is currently scared by the other female griffon working for Sunset's shots at the commie griffons. There are rumors that there is gold inside the ship, possibly on the captain's quarters, as well as possible profit for the guns inside the ship on the cargo hold, if I have to guess. Boat is being guarded by Onyx and me while everyone else is inside the ship together, expect for maybe Brie.

I'm still not sure where my character is, but she was just trying to replace her lost spell components.
Btw, these are the spells Sister Ash has left:
Orisons:
>Detect Magick
>Light
>Mending
>Create Water
1st level:
>Obscuring Mist
2nd Level:
Animal Messenger
She's lost her Spell Components Pouch, but none of those spells, save for Animal Messenger have a material component for Divine Casters; the material component for that one is a small piece of food, which she could have found in the kitchen when she was looking around.
She should have about ~2 mins of Produce Flame left before the spell's duration expires.

Sister Ash does not actually consider her Wild Shape to be a combat practice, but a religious practice (same goes for her spells): it's her way if becoming closer to the natural world, and thus godliness. Because of that, she would only use it sparingly.

>>72513
If he's a fighter, he can get 5 feats total. Base attack bonus should be that plus number after an attack roll. Not the damage but the hit chance.

You should have 5 feats altogether at your level; three of which should be Fighter Bonus Feats.
Your Base Attack bonus is how easily you hit in melee. For a Fighter, it's equal to your level. As your BAB goes up, you may also gain an extra attack in s full round, every few levels:

Power attack is a must. It transfers that extra hit bonus to damage. Weapon focus and specialization are good if you intend to use the same weapon forever since it adds more hit chance and damage respectively. After that, not sure what you could pick.

>>72500,
In 1947, the old WW2 frieghter Grandcamp berthed in the harbor of Texas City, Texas, was loaded with a cargo of 2000 tons of Ammonium Nitrate in its hold and small arms ammunition, twine, and machinery on its deck. A fire was noticed in its hold one morning and the crew, as well as the Texas City fire department were dispatched to put out the fire. After an hour, the hold was filled with steam to try to starve the fire of oxygen, as if Ammonium Nitrate needs an external source of oxygen. Twelve minutes after that, the hold detonated.
The entire seaport was destroyed, as were 500 homes, more than 300 railcars, hundreds of cars, and several refineries. The ship’s 2 ton anchor was found in a 10 foot crater more than one and a half miles inland. A 15 foot wave was created, several ships were sunk, and half the windows in Galveston - 10 miles away - were blown out. With with all but one member of the local fire department - and a neighboring town - dead, firefighters were called in from as far away as Los Angelos, to combat fires that lasted up to a week. A separate ship, the High Flyer, caught fire from the explosion with its 600 tons of Ammonium Nitrate, and it exploded 15 hour’s later. The High Flyer’s propeller was found almost a mile inland. At least 581 died in all, with bodies placed in the school gymnasium for identification.
Now consider the position of the Black Hooves. There are two burning warehouses, one with thousands of gallons of high octane gasoline, and the other with unknown tons of Ammonium Nitrate. Are you sure there aren’t artillery shells or bombs in that warehouse? Are you sure there aren’t barrels of industrial alcohol boiling into explosive vapors in the other warehouse? Are you willing to get your life that these warehouses, burning 10 and 20 minutes now, aren’t ticking time bombs? The safer choice is to check with the shipping company as to what exactly is in those warehouses before proceeding to walk up next to them as if they are harmless. But really, the burning warehouses are hardly the only danger. The first two police officers to approach were machine gunned. There are unconfirmed reports of shape-shifting enemy agents who can take the form of any friendly. And besides that, gunshots are heard on the wharf. Besides, standard operating procedure is to completely encircle the enemy, and then attack with overwhelming force. So you may as well wait for the other units to get into position to cut off all possible routes of escape, before venturing into the gunfire and... literal fire

Besides, standard operating procedure is to completely encircle the enemy, and then attack with overwhelming force. So you may as well wait for the other units to get into position to cut off all possible routes of escape, before venturing into the gunfire and... literal fire

This is a campaign setting where three kinds of combat may be needed: Non-lethal quiet, quiet lethal, and ranged and loud. That’s an unusually diverse set of needs for D&D I know, but I think that any fighter build playing in this campaign needs to do at least two of those well.
Purely in terms of damage, a character with strength and a great sword is at no disadvantage at all against level 1 warriors with knives, rifles, or pistols. And fact that a sword doesn’t alert every enemy and police officer in a mile is invaluable. But all these sand enemies need to do to make your sword useless is to stand on a higher floor, stand more than the 40 or 60 feet away you can charge in a round, or fly. And sometimes, the attention you attract from the Homicide detectives of the police agencies can be very undesirable. An unconscious enemy, it is true, can be a witness, but live hardened gangsters don’t talk to police much more than dead ones, and overworked police can’t be bothered to investigate misdemeanor assault

Oh, so that is why you want me to keep my unarmed attack for nonlethal damage. However, can't bludgeoning weapons be nonlethal somehow? I guess I can always just break weapons with weapons and then punch the lights out of them, but I'd rather not tread on shaky ground by unequpping my weapon every time I want to hit the pony.

You can deal nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon, at a -4 penalty to Attack rolls.
There are also Merciful weapons. A +1 Weapon enhancement that aren't that expensive, but popular/useful because they only deal nonlethal damage:

Saps (blackjacks) and unarmed strikes also deal nonlethal damage.

I intend to avoid that all too common trope in video games where you casually kill literal hundreds of enemies. Take for example the excellent Uncharted series. Being sort of a video game adaptation of Indianada Jones, it’s great adventure and in a way was inspirational for this campaign. But the main character killing an entire army of 200 mercenaries in one game feels a little unrealistic. I want even the lowest level opponents, who have no business fighting, to give at least some sense of danger when they are in number or have guns.
In non-lethal instances, you will probably have fewer opponents and they will not be as well armed

Against the light of the burning buildings Ash can see a number of griffins and ponies standing and moving around all across the wharf, mostly with large guns and in fairly organized groups. It appears that fire hose are being deployed to try to put out the fire. Further, it looks like at least two ponies on the wharf have guns pointed at them. The burning truck has a couple ponies putting out the fire with an extinguisher, while another truck comes up next to it as if to wench and move it. A fire truck has come into position near the warehouse, and a pair of griffins can be seen moving along the top of the rolling mill

The Occupying government of Baltimore is not very popular among the Equestrian ponies, and so a substantial portion of the garrison need is supplied by troops brought in overseas. New Mareland has a substantial griffin minority, both from the aboriginal population and immigrants. These griffins are not exempted from the draft, and are forcibly recruited. These griffins are generally considered unmotivated and unreliable, and so are placed in garrison duty in location where they have no loyalty to the natives, instead of being sent to the frontlines against the Griffin nations of Griffonia. Some reservists are also recruited from conquered territories

You can come with me, see if you can spot areas where we can board the boat without much effort. I really cannot see very well outside." Iron starts the journey up to the boat, where Onyx is.

>The Occupying government of Baltimore is not very popular among the Equestrian ponies, and so a substantial portion of the garrison need is supplied by troops brought in overseas.
Understandable. I imagine many Equestrians, even if their government was the one to strike first, feel like New Mareland stabbed them in the back by invading Equestria at the same time as the Changelings. Combined with the hostility of the Black Hooves towards Restorationist sentiments, they likely seem more like foreign invaders than benevolent peacekeepers in the eyes of the average citizen.

This, tbh.
And when a government starts using foreigners to fill in shortages that should be supplied by its own citizens, you know times are bad.

He’s given up on the gold, I take it? Brie sees that the fires, particularly the gasoline fire, have created s sort of circular “no go zone” where the sky is illuminated and he would lose all stealth.

Before they went to the shore, they closed off the land routes out of it. He could fly around them, certainly, if he flew far enough, but they extend along the shore line for further than just the immediate area that has preoccupied the party thus far

So Brie flies off toward the sea, since that's the only apparent avenue of escape, intent on gaining distance and altitude, from which he might be able to circle around behind the encroaching troops. We're talking minutes of ascent, and much is likely to occur in that time, from which he should have a decent vantage of.

"Yes, I found this. Unless you'd rather have a cigar or a hat, or a bandana. But it looks like this is what Redclaw brought with him to remind him of his home"
She shoes him a cut wooden animal
"This is a carving of a water buffalo. A very strong animal, used to pull plows and carry rice. The farmers of that region would have used them extensively. Maybe he worked with them as a chick, I can't say. But to him it probably symbolized the farmers, which he no doubt identified himself with."

Iron takes the animal. "Thank you, Skies. I will remember his strength in combat, even when I did not challenge him directly." Iron turns to the suitcases. "He has a horn on his head, so he should have."

And sure enough, it shows a number of magical signatures in the area. A spell on the threshold of the door, a magical signature from Blue Skies herself, and three separate magical signatures from the third suitcase on the right in the set

"Well... I'm picking up that the door is magic, and three things of magical quality in that suitcase there." I point out the third suitcase on the right. "I'm guessing that the magic on the door is something to worry about though. Who puts magic on a door?"

Is Atlas at it again? Am I discount Onyx in this situation? Also, for the record, I have cleave as my bonus feat. I'll be sure to use it next round.

Iron cocks an eyebrow. "Alright. I will be sure to touch you like that, then." Iron looks at the now gone Spark. "Also, yes, I think he is a drunkard of sorts with his infatuation with that bottle."

Well, you can pretend you went back to Dark Star, which I believe is also the first poster of today, and then Spark finds both of you in the room. Apart from that, I do not know if you could do much else.

I think the first one was hit with spikes. That one is dead if that is so. The second and third one were knocked unconscious. The fourth one received a bad clubbing by Shimmer, and then a bad set of damage die from Blue's .38. It is dead

The first ambush of the night was with hooves, so it's alive. The second, where the alarm sounded, I knocked out two more. Last one is that.
