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

>>71260"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGELIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!"
>>71264Indeed, it would appear that way. She is still wearing her damaged coat
>>71262Officers beyond the scene pause at this scream
>>71260"Huh... these communists are as ugly on the outside as on the inside."
>>71264"You might want to report this after we find our friend."
>>71262>>71263"Come along. It's time to stop getting into trouble and help us get out of it now."
>>71255Sister Ash doesn't sit around to celebrate, but instead runs off to find Ollie.
>>71266"Spark put the gas on the guns, we need to find Iron."
Onyx then picks up the gun.
"Hey guys I-"
>Brrrt
"Think I know-"
>Brrrt
"How to use this"
>Brrrrrrrrt
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.
>>71270He manages a few seconds of fire before the weapon clicks out. That changeling is either dead dead, or a damned fine actor
>>71267As she goes forward, she is confornted by two police officers, who aim guns at her."HALT!" They jump backwards when they hear the gun firing again
>>71269The way back to the docks is clear
>>71270BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>>71271would there be any sign of him going that way?
>>71269"Right."
>>71270"You look like a strong fellow, bartender. Hold onto this while we fetch our companion."
I hand over the explosives.
"You should come with us. Probably going to stay away from the police with that evidence."
I then follow Dark Star.
>>71271Sister Ash is visibly frustrated and desperate
"It's dead, let me through. I need to find Ollie!"
>>71271Onyx then searches the body for ammo
>>71270>>71271"cut off its head my boss will want to see this."
>>71275One of them tries to aim a gun at Ash, and neither seems willing to poke their heads up. "Ma'am, cease!"
>>71277Well, now it's definitely dead
>>71276There is one drum magazine remaining, and two spent drums on the ground. Roll to see if the drum has been penetrated by teeth, bullet, shot, ray, or halberd
>>71279Well, that drum mag will be missed.
F
>>71278>>71279INB4: the drum has been bitten, shot, blasted, and pierced all at the same time.
>>71283>>71278Dark Star heads to the Docks
>>71185Are you here Iron?
>>71284Not only does the drum not appear to be in a condition such that it would feed a gun, but it appears to be damaged in such a way it wouldn't even fit
>>71287Female officer: "Ma'am, we haven't seen any children. We are sectioning off this area"
Male officer: "We're not falling for your tricks, changeling!"
neither officer wants to poke their heads up, and only the female officer bothers to point a gun at Ash
>>71289Onyx retains his other weapons
>>71285>>71288Where is Iron? >>71290Ash turns the other way and gallops around the long way.
>>71290"So now what are we doing?"
>>71293>>71292Dark star and Shimmer head towards the docks, while Ash tries to find a way to escape the map and find a colt in a large city
>>71295Wait, where was the evacuation area?
[1d20+12 = 26]>>71297Well, it was indicated that he would have evacuated in a certain direction...
Fuck it. Rolling survival to see if I can figure out where s little colt could have gone off to.
>>71299A few statments the colt made come to her mind
"They didn't want me to go down to the docks in case the police come"
"They won't let me go down there, it's too dangerous."
"I was taken in by these nice stallions at the soup kitchen"
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
>>71300*Makes U-turn for the docks*
>>71301>>71298>>71294>>71285Two more ponies with rifles run forward from the direction of the docks
>>71303>>71304They look at Onyx and Ash, then lose interest when they see they are wearing civilian clothes and not uniforms
>>71305Ash runs past them, still intent on doing the one thing she set out to do tonight.
"Ollie?! Ollie?! Where are you?!"
>>71302What kind of Uniforms are they wearing?
>>71309One is naked, and the other has a red and black scarf
>>71308Running past the foundry, no pony responds
[1d20+5 = 15]>>71310She keeps running, still looking for the colt
Listen check
>>71310Continues towards the docks
>>71312I also head towards that general direction, all the while looking for the foal.
>>71311She hears definite moving in front of her, and more than anything, in front of her and to her right, on the docks
>>71312>>71313Damn it, I don't want to leave Iron behind/s]
>>71315I thought It on was at the docks?
>>71313>>71315>>71316>>71312An ice blue pegasus runs past, followed by a griffon (not Redclaw) and a pony
>>71315It would be nice if he offered a post saying if he was leaving for the night or not.
>>71318Not Sky Blue, right?
*Ignores them and keeps looking*
>>71324>>71321>>71317>>71294The griffon and the pony take shots at her with their rifles as she darts off to the alley between the rolling mill and the foundry
>>71325Wtf. Backstabbing glowniggers.
*Runs for cover*
>>71326>>71325Do they pursue her at all?
>>71327They are pursuing her, and they are rounding the area between the seawall and the dry goods warehouse. Ash could dive into the alley between the rolling mill and the foundry, between the burning building and the warehouse, or run 100 feet forward and towards the pony and griffon and go inside the dry goods warehouse to seek cover
>>71326The shots in
>>71323 were for Blue Skies, if that was not obvious
>>71328She dives into the alley, now fighting defensively (+2 Dodge bonus, AC now at 17).
Does that lead her closer to the docks?
>>71330Which alley? Both are away from the seawall, but this whole set of buildings could be called "the docks"
>>71329Oh.
I thought they were both shooting at
me.
>>71331Gosh, I really don't know where anything is.
Whichever leads her furthest away from the gunfire, or the nearest one.
>>71333Preferably, she would be intent on getting closer to the seawall, to try to find Ollie.
[2d6 = 7]Fuck it, I made a map. I should have done that days ago
>>71335Well, that's certainly enough to hit.
>>71336Oh
Sister Ash decides to check the pier.
>>71336Sorry guys, pillow ambushed me and forced me to sleepIron decides to get on the motorboat and starts the engine. Maybe he can scout the scene which he left for the group.
>>71338You could say I got grappled and pinned, amirite?
[1d20 = 1]>>71337Does she want to travel through the firefight
>>71335The pony with the scarf is wounded. The griffon looks to Dark Star. It's none other than Black feathers, from the dossier. He shoots at Dark Star
>>71338He hears commotion on the pier behind him, but finds that no one seems to be shooting near him. He later hears machinegun fire in the distance, towards the road. When he gets to the motor boat he can climb in. There is one pony sitting down smoking, who has not noticed him. Iron is bleeding. and no, he does not know how to start a gasoline engine
>>71335>>71340Black's gun fails to discharge. The wounded pony picks up his rifle and fires at Dark Star
>>71342Yeesh. That's gonna hurt.
>>71339Nice to see you're back.
>>71340Not if she doesn't have to....
I guess she darts into the dry storage, to check there.
>>71340Well, what better time to not know how to handle technologyIron's pain makes clear that he needs some treatment right now. He decides to walk towards the smoking pony, exagerating a limp. Maybe he doesn't know that he attacked the griffon and can heal him up.
[1d20+8 = 27][2d8 = 5]>>71342>>71335The pony's shot lands, doing damage. But to his right, Blue Skies walks up, and shoots him in the side with his carbine
>>71346He hears Iron, and says "what happened to you? You look like you got ripped by a propeller"
>>71345She can see ponies moving down towards the end. Towards the front, it is many crates
[1d20+5 = 6]>>71347Can she see Ollie?
Also, another Listen check, to try to locate him
>>71348REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[5d6+1 = 18]>>71335>>71347The pony's gunshot did 5 damage to Dark Star when it penetrated his flak jacket. He is probably super dead from the carbine shot though
>>71348Tinnitus from gunshots is all she can hear at the moment
>>71351She keep looking, searching through the room trying to find the foal amongst the ponies.
>>71347"I cannot tell, can you heal my wounds?" He points at his machete wounds-
>>71352She can see finally that some are labelled, things ranging from Twine to Automobile parts to Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer. No colt can be seen though
>>71353"Huh? Uh... Let me find a first aid kit"
He gets up, and walks into the boat, looking around
[1d20+6 = 26]>>71350Dark Star Shoots at the griffon
>>71355You might have been shot, but at least the dice gods have still blessed you with crits.
[4d6+2 = 16]>>71355And the ranger's aim was deadly
[1d20 = 13]>>71354Iron, while he waits and hopes to get this kit of his, decides to look for the rest of the group. Rolling spot.
>>71357>>71358"Big Iron Where are you!?"
