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

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
>>71458
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"
>>71460
Well, we've already had one character arrested on suspicion of being a Changeling, so why not

Well, I'd ask what the difference between a "Witch" and a sorcerer/wizard are in terms of legality, but that technical stuff can wait for some other time.
Sister Ash nods solemnly in acknowledgement, and heads over to the warehouse to get ready for the ambush.

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
>>71463
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

Okay, she stays at the warehouse waiting to blow up either the gas canister, the fertilizer, or both, depending on what cue she's given.
She can cast Produce Flame to hurl weak fireballs at a range of 120 feet.

The mare shudders a bit at the initial touch, but appears slightly more relaxed. Slightly.
"I.. I just want all this mayhem to be over..."

"I understand your fears. But I ensured your safety, and I would die for you to protect you. My honor is at stake." Iron crouches down and makes eye contact with the mare. "I will not let harm come your way."

If you want to go outside, you'll need to roll some dice, because you'll be plainly visible

The scrawny horsefly stands over a few feet, coming back towards Ash after first going a different direction. "Just wait until the Changelings attack in a few years," she says with a malign grin
>>71467
"Not going for the bonus points are you?" says the mare, with a carbine rifle on her side

Wait, why are we attempting this sketchy gas canister plan when we could just surround him and shoot him to death?
>>71473
There isn't really anywhere to hide when approached from that angle. He could certainly run to the crates and stay firmly on one side of them, but he'd be visible to at least some ponies from other angles. It's mostly a matter of luck. Who saw him jump into the water?

"Do you think that Chrysalis will be content just looking at Canterlot in the distance from a border checkpoint?"

Remember, he has supporting ponies with guns as well. It's not a 5v1 here, more like a 5v8 or 9 here.

Look at the map. The ship is pretty far from the warehouse. I'd say more than 100 meters from it.

Also, this plan requires Dark Star to manage to hit the canister while it's in the air. That's isn't fool proof.

"We can look for this child later, when the cowards lose both leaders here. The area will be very dangerous for anyone of us out there before those advisors are out of the frame." Iron smiles. "I am sure he is fine."
Iron scouts the area for any windows to throw rocks from.

"Of course I can. I did it once before I can do it again." Iron pauses. "I feel sorry that no stallion did the same to you. You lost your motherhood by how bleak your view on life has become." Iron looks directly to Skies "I really hope you can find the stallion who can take you out of your fears."

While we wait for things to get ready, I take 10 on my Treat Wound check to patch Iron up a bit more, then I spend both my Cure Minor Wounds Orisons to close the wound.
Rolling HP recovered.

She regains her composure and says flatly
“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.”

Iron grimaces. "Your problems are far worse than mine so do not try to hurt my pride to try and mend them, because it will only make you spiral further down into your own despair. I simply took your tough mare mask from yourself to reflect that you are not capable of criticizing Ash." Iron scouts the area for the biggest two-handed hammer there is in this building. "If you want to prove myself to you anyhow, I shall. I only hope you can get better."

I prepared that spell in case I'd need to do melee damage, but I probably won't need it.
If not, I'll use that spell to summon a non-dire wolf for 30 seconds.
