Welcome back to Occupied Equestria, an RP set in a conquered Equestria, using D&D 3.5e mechanics, and based in large part on the My Little Pony mod for Hearts of iron 4, Equestria at War
The party has successfully stopped the Communists of Baltimare from importing guns and foreign advisers in preparation for a revolt. They have also raided a Griffin freighter involved in arms trafficking, and are prepared to leave and end their long night.

"Uh, thanks?" He catches it. "Well, I guess that is that." He turns to Skies. "I can share some of what is inside the chest if you want. Your terms are agreeable." He takes the 30% and stores it in his hide and passes the chest to Skies. "I guess an organization needs more of the gold than me."

"Oh, sorry. I thought you wanted thr chest." He clearly is annoyed. "Shimmer did not take anything when we opened it, so he is out of the question. I do not know if Ash even needs it and Dark Star is supported by an entire organozation, let him use organization funds." Iron recollects. "Because I opened the chest to begin with, as well as the suitcases you wanted me to open it, I should take a bigger share."

"let me get this straight. You want an entire additional 10% share of the gold because you opened a couple suitcases and the chests? And while we're on the subject, did you bother to ask Ash if she had any use for it rather than just assuming? Did you bother to ask Dark Star how much he is getting from his organization?"

First, Iron turns to Ash. "Do you need some of this gold, Ash? I feel like you will not tell me unless I ask you directly."

Iron shakes his head. "It is not necessary. There are 10 pieces of gold." He makes some math. "Since you seem interested, we can go with 2 gold bars to you, 2 to Onyx, 2 to Dark Star, 2 to me and 2 to Skies. Not sure of Brie is here to even pick up the gold, so I could go for one more to me and one more for Ash."

A 5 pound brick of gold is worth 250 gp at market price. Gold is a trade good, so it can be sold for it's market price.
To put that in perspective: one set of mundane, nonmagical banded mail.

Oh God, this will difficult to value. The way I figure it, the gold here was being transferred to the griffins as a payment or partial payment for some of the rifles. Maybe 30% of the value of the rifles. Which is a hell of a lot of money, and so it sort of makes sense why the Blackhooves want to cover up this operation as being a robbery done by insiders.

A single set of full plate costs 1500 gp.
A +1 magic weapon costs a minimum of 1000 gp.
The total wealth level of a level 5 Player character starts at about 9000 gp (or 4,300, for an NPC).

I explained that it was transferred from another monastary.
Besides, it's normal for an elite character of her level to have that much. An NPC would have about half though.

"Baltimare police is going to want you. But Baltimare police won't be running this investigation, the Governate will. The robbery will be considered less important in the public investigation than the arms trafficking that the robbery targeted. Gotta stop that gun violence, after all. Both the arms trafficking and the robbery will be blamed - publicly - on the Waterfront gang and rogue elements within it, which the Baltimare police will use as an excuse to crack down. Secretly, the Blackhooves will be investigating the role of foriegn governments in this. With luck, the Communists will think that they got away with this free."

Well, this leaves her speechless
Iron has taken a shit load of damage, so a full recovery will require either a professional doctor/equal alternative, or a 20 from Ash. A reasonable dice roll from ash will allow at least 10 HP recovery between the end of the night and the next morning

He is still confused by the wording of the question, but tries his best to answer as far as he understands it. "Changelings only feel safe to trot around undisguised when surrounded by other changelings. Usually, that is when they are in their hives, marching in their armies, or when in Changeling Lands themselves. When surrounded by non-changelings, or in foreign lands, even if there is no one around, they will take all measures to stick to their disguise."

After a couple seconds, he lets out a sigh. His glass slowly stops shaking as he takes another sip. "I do not like thinking of Great War, much. Makes me angry. I try to focus on here and now, and how to make all...this..." he gestures all around him, "...work."

And now she's a bit surprised
"I don't think even my dad, er, stepdad is that old. You sure you still have it?"
Her coat is an ice-blue, almost white, with a blue mane. Her cutie mark is a sword between a pair of yellow wings. Her belly is slender, though she widens at the thighs. Her eyes are blue green
Fucking hell, I just realized that if you switch Tracy Cage's mane and coat colors, you've got more or less Blue Skies' color scheme, if a slightly darker mane

Alright, I am going to sleep. For those of you just reading in the morning, here's what you missed:
No one died
No one got laid
No one got a job or money
Onyx and Spark both went to sleep
Ash and iron hate walls for some reason, and so both went to sleep in a forest in a non-sexual way. Things seemed like they were going to get very interesting when Ash rolled a 1, and 4 to 6 dire wolves approached them. However, they were persuaded to back away.
Blue Skies and Dark Star went to the tavern and began to talk and sort of cuddle. This seemed to escalate until Blue made a very explicit proposition - and was rebuffed.
Silver decided to go down to the tavern and talk. Dark Star and the rebuffed Blue started to talk to him, and it seems Blue was unsuccessful in exposing Silver to be a communist. And Silver, for his part, is still unemployed despite talks
>>73487
Actually, the color scheme thing is kind of true of Trixie as well, just with one color on the mane

He gives her a firm nod, a shimmer of his resolve showing through his eyes. "These old bones may creak from time to time, but it has not stopped me once from performing my best, and it has not once caused me to fail in my duties."
His coat is a light grey with a single dark grey dorsal stripe running along the back, while his short-cut mane and tail have been almost completely turned silver from age, leaving only a few dark grey streaks here and there. His cutie mark is a sword in mid-swing. A few scars on his muscular body are deep enough and big enough to have avoided fur regrowing over them. His eyes are a deep blue.

I don't think Ash would even let herself get laid even I help her with that child problem she has, but I might be able to fish for a kiss after that. If I pushed too hard, I might break her innocence, and I don't want that. Besides, having sex on the first date is not a good sign for Iron, it just signals that the mare is not to keep.
Most degenerate thing I might do is hoofholding

Also, divine casters are underrated.
Arcane casters take up lots of time, because they need 8 hours of rest minimum to regain spells. Sister Ash doesn't have that kind of time, but she'll still be able to regain her spells upon sunrise?

Is it too late to say I wanted to use my prepared Animal Messenger spell to send a letter to the orphanage? I reserved it all the way through combat just so she'd be able to do it in the evening.
Sister Ash just wants to let them know that she hasn't gotten herself killed, and that she's working to find the foals.

If the set of dialogue had kept up, Blue would have tried to ply out of Silver more or less what he told the bartender. That is, she wanted to hear about experience with Changelings and when they try to be sneaky. But the statement he made to the bartender about hating New Mareland would have been all she needed to know to know this wouldn't be the best agent to hire
And thus she exits stage left

Think about it
Why keep up with Silver when he is politically opposed to the faction? Any agent you try to hire is a potential spy or leak of information, besides other more basic problems with motivation like a lack of loyalty. They hire foreigners because they don't have a dog in the fight, and they are indifferent to the old political order.
And she's definitely not going to press Dark Star, because "any mare that would have sex on a first date is not a mare to keep" and "a tramp." How much lower is one who presses for this?
When you have a losing hand, walking away from the table can be the best option

The first paragraph is enough context to clarify. I had no idea that Silver was opposed to the Black Hooves. I don't know how to react to the second paragraph, while I do agree with what it's said. Thank you for the clarification nevertheless.

A trip to a single general store provides pretty much everything on this last. Canned food comes in the form of yams, corn, sweet potatoes, regular potatos, beans, green-beans, pears and apples. The storekeeper is a bit confused by your request to buy water. "Who the hell would buy or sell drinking water? Do you want it in like a can or something? He has a variety of flasks an containers, as well as disinfectant tablets for water. Contrary to the storekeep's implication, the store does have distilled water if you need pure water for something like steam ironing, and mineral water. Cigarettes are available in several brands. Old Guard cigarettes are the personal choice of princess Luna on her long nights, while the Fleetfoot brand is known for its smooth flavor and use by the Wonderbolts. Unfortunately, it appears the New Mareland government has stuck its hooves where they don't belong: the literally Fascists have levied a 1 bit tax on cigarettes based on some superstition that smoking is "bad for the body" or something. This puritanical fake science is the clearest sign of oppression you've seen thus far. Whiskey, thank Celestia, has not been taken away by the Fascists yet and thankfully Prohibition has been repealed in Equestria. The brands are mostly cheap and from the northern part of East Equestria. Naptha fuel for Silver's Hippo brand lighter is readily available. Hempen rope (or nylon) can be found as well. Canteens, you bet. A map of Baltimare is readily available, and you are glad to have bought one before wondering off into the forest with the hopes of later finding a building at an unknown location on the opposite side of the city. The otherside of the map shows the "state" of Baltimare, or this section of the Hayseed Forests. A bedroll and a first aid kit are available likewise. First aid kits come in many varieties, but since I doubt that this is the sort of thing he'd go cheap with, some include basic poison antidotes and even stronger painkillers.

He looks at everything he has gathered for purchase thus far: 28 cans of food, split evenly between corn, beans, green beans, and apples, about half that in distilled water, a bottle of disinfectant tablets, a carton of Old Guard cigarettes, a bottle of whiskey, Naptha fuel for his lighter, hempen rope, a new canteen, a map of Baltimare, a bedroll, and a large, high-quality first-aid kit. His mouth contorts into a worried frown, not at the price or at the weight of it all, but at its shear volume. He looks around the store to see if they have a cheap cart for sale, to lighten the load of carrying everything back to his room.

"Well I'm quite sorry to hear that. Celestia rest their souls if they are dead. Or Celestia bless them if they are out of the house, or Celestia damn them if you are divorced. What do you want to haul? Lumber? Rocks? Trade goods? Dead bodies? Just kidding about that last part, although if you are looking for a hearse cart we have a nice selection in our Western location"

There's a Bakery, for instance. Not many cars today, and thank Celestia because they clearly don't know how to drive on roads with slower moving carts. Nopony seems to be standing on a sope box or talking about the end of days, at least on this street

I'm going to summon a Riding Dog (Huskie) as my Animal Companion for this mission. A domestic Animal should be appropriate for an urban encounter.
His third level feat will be Combat Reflexes, and his 4th level ability point will go into Dexterity. He gets a bonus trick, so he'll be trained for the general purpose of guarding.

"That we do have. These suits have strips of steel that give them some resistance even to things like bullets, and I can't promise they won't slow you down but they are not bad protection. This cheaper one here allows you some mobility. This bigger one gives a little more but less mobility, while this set here offers the most protection and more mobility, but it's expensive. As for shields, we have some metal ones for use by police or if you are dealing with fire"

The city center and the commercial center are past this, followed by bands of mostly lighter residential with scattered brick mills, cement plants and whatnot further west. There is still another coastline only a few miles to the north with another municipality, and some more residences. Also to the east and the north is a peninsula made by the bay that protrudes eastwards and provides cover from weather to the harbor from the north. This peninsula is not fully developed, has residences, a municipality and a lighthouse on the end of it. While water is to the north and the east, to the south is wilderness forest of the hayseed forests. To the west is agricultural fields, leading to the towns of the moonlight shores

“Yes, Rover here looks like he must have been struck by lightning, or struck by a burning branch. Or both”
The pony is pretty friendly and readily willing to talk about his new pet.
"I had been working in the eastern field when a friend drove up with Rover here in the back of his truck. He said that he had been working in the North-western track of lucky mills when he came across Rover here. He said this dog had been a part of pack there, but the mill gave him permission to hunt them for their hides. he had shot several of them with his manticore gun, and captured two of them in traps over the last month. He found this one in a trap this morning, said it was probably the last one. Normally the ones taken alive go to wealthy customers over seas, but this one he wasn't sure about because of the injuries. I told him 'well hell, I'll take this one for the money you owe me if you think this unlucky dog won't fetch full price for that damaged hide.' And so I took him home right then and there.

She turns to the pony
"I can treat him, but it will take a while." she says to the poner
Onyx considers where he'd swap his bars for cash, and where he could use that cash to get what he wants.

He goes in, and it is kind of crowded. he doesn't see Cauldron there, and is about to give up. Then from behind him
"Iron!" the familiar voice exclaims, and the worried mare comes up to him. "You were at that event on the docks last night. I heard there was an explosion at the building we had been guarding after I left. Then somepony killed some police officers, and soldiers were called in. They say there was some sort of robbery there and more than a dozen were killed."
The exasperated mare hugs Iron
"I was worried you were dead. Thank goodness you're okay"
>>73679
The wolf does not like the contact, whether because it is feral or because the area touched was sensitive
"Well, I don't know if I want to move him from here"

Silver turns to ask Onyx if he knows about any leads into work, but stops when he notices him deep in thought. "Something on your mind?"

"Sure, there are rooms upstairs. The bar owner lets couples go up there at night for privacy."
As she goes with him, she says "They are blaming us for it, but I don't know anypony that would have done that. I think it was those Sunset police. They had a really vicious crackdown in Manehattan last month, they could do it here"

Iron stays silent until they both enter one of the rooms upstairs. "I know. Want to see what was stolen?" Iron leans closer to Cauldron, expecting an answer.

Iron cocks an eyebrow, but disregards it. "I have some stuff of great value here." He pulls out one of the gold bricks. "Got it by fighting through the crowd of ponies there. Ponies there had that same speech about equality and stuff at the bar. It was hidden in a chest on the ship, as well as a lot of guns."

The spell does more than nothing, regenerating some of the more severely damaged flesh and muscle. But that is not readily apparent from the outside, where the animal is still visibly burned - though not nearly as critically
"I was going to keep him as a pet. I had a big dog when I was younger. I figured rover here might be worth trying to domesticate. It's not like he'll make a great coat with this kind of damage anyways"
>>73699
"But the gunfight. The robbery. Many ponies died"

Iron shrugs. "I was very beaten after that onslaught. I visited a doctor afterwards. Told me I almost died, and was very lucky that I even survived." Iron waves the gold brick around some more. "So, I have this and I want to give it out for some bits."

"Oh I know that. I was looking for a challenge. When I was younger I would break horses, make them listen to commands. That was when i was a drill instructor in the Army"
>>73704
She's still a little concerned
"Y-you're lucky to get out alive" She takes the brick. "That's a lot of gold you have there. Worth many bits. No wonder they" She pauses at the third person plural, 'they.' "They wanted to kill for it"

She holds it in her hoof, moving it up and down as if weighing it
"I don't think this is a bankmare's bullion brick. Looks like it's straight from a mine. the luster is definitely right for gold. Of course I can't tell you that there isn't just lead in the center. But this looks like at least 3000-5000 bits depending on the purity of the gold and the exact weight
>>73710

"Breaking a horse" means training a horse. That's all the phrase means. To take a horse that otherwise would not listen, and make it able to be ridden or pull carts. When Ash asked about animal training, horses were the first thing that came to mind. But I realized that in this world, horses wouldn't work. Then I thought Buffalo, but that also doesn't work in the My Little Pony world. Then i thought cows, but those were sapient in an episode as well. So I thought fuck it, i will make a joke about training horses, but what he is referring to isn't like agricultural work, he's R Lee Ermey from Full Metal Jacket, but retired. He used to discipline new recruits and train them to be fit soldiers. It was a bad joke, mea culpa

Because she isn't quite sure if Iron was a a part of a group that killed a dozen creatures, or if he is claiming that he was just there, and managed to grab the money in the confusion, she is still reacting as if Iron had released an unrestrained Changeling in the room before her

He nods. "Tensions are high here. Communist rebels, Restorationist sympathizers, New Mareland occupiers. It is powder keg." He finishes off his beer with one last drink. "It has been long time since I was part of group. But I may just have to, if I am to survive."

I lower my voice as to not have anypony else hear in. "I know this new recruit to the Blackhooves Party around here. He loves to hire help and is very generous with bits. I'm not fond of the occupation, don't get me wrong, but their targets so far are worse then they are."

"If not that, I can always just leave the city, let the heat blow off with time, and come back." Iron is still smiling. "But I am sure that I can handle these puny ponies after some upgrades on my person. If you want, I wil tell you when I leave if you are so worried about me."

"In answer to your earlier question, there are several places to sell gold for money. Technically you could even exchange it for paper at a bank. But under the circumstances.... There is only one place I trust not to report it to the police. Down here"
She walks now to a location somewhat near the docks a part of the seaport decently south of the events of the night before. There is a griffin outside
"We have something to sell" Cauldron says

She whispers super damned softly into Iron's ear. "Gold is one of those items where every brick is more or less the same as any other. Gold is gold.. The price is basically set by the government, because they base their money off of it. I suspect this brick is worth 4200 bits at a bank. The price difference is because these griffins know it is stolen and they know we can't just waltz into a bank with this. What they haven't guessed is where it was stolen from. If they knew that, the price would drop real quick"

"Gold certificate" is what paper money is called in a system that uses a gold standard.

Iron laughs harder, then ponders. "If you need some pony to rough up, I will be there. You do not have to pay me, but it is appreciated."

"I simply seek riches and renown. That is why I am here and not where my tribe is." He simply states. "It is the process of maturity everypony in my tribe has to do to participate in important decisions for the tribe. You make a name of yourself here and brings all the goods you can carry back to the tribe and you will be respected."

"That is what every single pony says in this town so far. I guess it is fair for you since you seem to take care of your father, which I assume is very old to take care of himself, but for some ponies, they just do not want to go out with just their hooves and explore the world around them, out of the safety of their houses, where even then they feel threatened most of the time by others anyways." Iron looks at Cauldron. "They are afraid to seek opportunity elsewhere. Remember those ponies at a bar? They seemed competent enough to venture out and gain the riches they want, but they decide to just stand there, complaining about their lives and how unfair it is for them." Iron shakes his head. "If they only knew the true freedom that they have out of these walls."

"My brother operates the family business of a restaurant. We make food in the traditional Zebrican style. My dad set it up after he retired from the Merchant Marine. He's a little old now. I will do cooking sometimes, helping with sauces especially. Business is sort of so so. Quite a few ponies are curious about foreign tastes, and the Zebras like the reminder of home. But there are many restaurants, and often many expenses"

The stallion says "We have the full set of banded steel for 1500. 1650 if you want a slightly more agile set. We have those in Titanium and Tungsten, which make them lighter and tougher respectively, but that's put you over 10,000 bits. Depending on your tastes, I might recommend a single titanium plate for your chest with ballistic nylon sleeves and under armor. Enchant it with some magic, and it'll cost you 5200 bits, but it won't be slowing you down in battle, and it'll give you almost the protection of the banded steel"
Okay, seriously. Look at the https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Armor list. Those are the ACs, pay attention to speed, and if you click on types of armor, you can see what the permutations cost

Could you explain me in terms of armors on this wiki the options available? Give me just simple comparisons. I guess Mithryl and Adamanatine and Titanium and Tungsten respectively and the single titanium plate is actually the half-plate or the banded mail, but I want to be sure statwise.

Pretty much anything on the wiki is an option, in basically any combination. Anything you can get your character that he can actually afford, I will transform into a setting appropriate form. The titanium plate is actually Breastplate, which is the most advanced medium armor. If you take it in Mithryl, then Breastplate is a light armor, which means that it allows you to keep the full 30ft per round and not just 20ft. I guess that would mean more if you were playing a class limited to light armor like a rogue. Or if your character needed to retain the ability to fly.

"You'll need to get basically a new suit if you want to replace the steel with Tungsten. As for the hide armor, well, it won't be much use over the plate, but you can have it as an aesthetic, or as a sort of shock absorber under the armor"

Iron huffs in dissapointment. "I cannot do that. I need something lighter to absorb the hits when the full plate is not enough. If not, it'll drain my stamina. While I do not mind short term, it is going to cause problems in the long run when I need every bit of strength I get." Maybe leather should do it? *wink wink* Also, I'm being this way because it will become medium load,
and it's not good I think

Iron, satisfied, puts on his fullplate, to feel inside the armor, see how much it protects him. aka what is the AC of the fullplate exactly "What do you think, Cauldron? You think the animals will run away when they see me?"

I think I might want to buy this wolf off and bring him to the pack down South. He's an endangered species, and I kind of feel bad for hitting him with lightning.
Also a good excuse to return to the place in the forest where I was supposed to meet Iron.

Idk, I didn't think it was that powerful compared to Winter Wolves and similar creatures. I think the CR adjustment was appropriate.
The monster detailed in >>73848 is actually a creature that should probably have a few hit dice added to it to advance it for later game.
My ideal for advancement was something similar to a Nessian Warhound, only with recovery abilities instead of the breath weapon, and an acidic bite instead of fire.
It's actually the result of the application of two popular templates, with CR adjustment taken into account.

I guess the Damage Reduction being trumped by slashing weapons and the relatively High AC make it a pretty difficult encounter, since bullets simply wouldn't work on it (it is made of logs though, so what would you expect?), but none of those features should raise it's AC past 6.
Your best bet to fight one would be to get the Fighter a +1 sword/axe, or just fuck it up with fire spells.
Timber Wolves are one of the most badass monsters in the mlp universe, imo. Making them a 6-and-up encounter feels justified.
Also, the utter lack of plant type creature in the 1st monster manual so is boring. The other two manuals added a few though, they even included the green bound template, which was the basis for the timber wolf.

Your best bet to fight one would be to get the Fighter a +1 sword/axe, or just fuck it up with fire spells.
Timber Wolves are one of the most badass monsters in the mlp universe, imo. Making them a 6-and-up encounter feels justified.

If I were lucky, I would have taken like 4 of those bricks and buy the tungsten fullplate armor. It's just so tempting to do that, but there will be next time.

It's okay for a lvl 5 character.
Most of the monsters you'd face are now going to have special attacks and damage reduction. You want a magick weapon, armor, and as many healing potions as you can carry.

I've played an Artificer: I know very well how fucking absurdly expensive magical equiptment is at every level.

No, actually. Wizards and the like spend considerably more for their spell components, even moreso if they're responsible for creating items for the party.
Most fighter equiptment boils down to weapons, armor, and potions, along with miscellaneous stat-boosting items.

No. Eschew materials only helps with components that do not have a specific cost. Retrieving a stored item is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity, so mages can get skullfucked when reaching into their fanny packs for herbs 'n shieet.

Potions have a set price.
Certain feats, like Extrordinary Artisan, may reduce the costs of item creation just slightly.

Well that sucks. And here I thought it was decent. Well, what do you plan to do with that timberwolf template? You can't just magic the wolf you summoned out of existence for the timberwolf without recharging.

I only made the timber wolf as a practice.
If you have the Green bound Summoner fest though, you can summon animals with that template (which I want to take, because it goes so well with Ashbound).

As far as I know, in the actual mod, there's a communist movement in Baltimare in the same vein as Stalliongrad, with the goal of establishing an independent "Mare Republic" and eventually founding the South Equestrian Socialist Republics after taking control of the southern forests and jungles.

The pay is meager, but storming a place full of ponies is bound to attract attention, which I want for further contact opportunities."

"Well, to be fair, she is quite cute. So cute that I feel like helping her, you know? It is a great catch to find a mare like her these days." Iron leans his body against Cauldron "She is just so pure and gentle. It will be a great childbearer and I want to be the one who obtains the luxury of giving her children." Iron nuzzles Cauldron on the neck. "Not that I considered you too. If you were not filled with so many responsabilities like your family and this gang, I would probably take you to one of the rooms upstairs and show you a good night on the bed." Iron giggles some more, stroking Cauldron's mane.
"Apart from that, the reason of renown still stands. I think she will face a big fight soon, and I want to be part of it."

He may be also trying to think of the consequences of this long term. I don't know. Although your plan makes a little sense if you think about it, I don't think it was expected to say the least. I think he was giving us a little break before the action picks up, especially how he mentioned that neither you or Dark Star has got the mare yet. Just how I am seeing the situation though.

I believe this is downtime too. Kinda just dropped the "I like you, but I like someone else more" bullshit after she was giving signals of care, which Iron really likes in a pony. He felt a bit frustrated by that. Or maybe she is upset by the "I take you to bed and fuck you" since she feels like an object and not a pony because she did talk about camaraderie aka she is an idealist in terms of relationships, meaning more mushy mushy "I love you to the ends of the earth" kind of romance.

She is a bit surprised by this, but she quickly leans into it, and places a hoof around Dark Star's neck. She continues kissing him, until she pulls away and says
"I guess we could find a hotel room, if you're not too tired"
She has a very big smile, and her eyes damned near glow with enthusiasm

"The other bartender mentioned him hiring Onyx and some random patron for some kind of job, throwing money around like it was nothing, along with his blue-coated pegasus mare companion, when I arrived. Then I somewhat met them late last night in bar, though his friend seemed more interested in talking to me than Dark Star was."

"Don't worry about that. Dark Star is a good pony. He will hire you for a nice sum."
I whisper "And a share of any other goodies we find along the way. Lots of illegal trade going on we interrupt and lots of ways to get your cut one way or another."

Damn it I will think of something for Silver. Making fighting encounters that make sense within the context of the story, are reasonably balanced, and won't just result in characters being persona non grata is far more challenging than you might think

Not a single clue. I am honestly stumped on what our characters would be motivated to do besides work for the one character with ties to the main source of quests. I suppose we could explore for a place for our characters to stay and the local shops to gear up...

Characters that know what they want to do and proactively seek that get more encounters. For example, Ash wanted to find an orphanage, and found the Order of Saint Prancis with all of its various sisters. Onyx wanted to get a loaf of bread, and so found a colt shilling communism, then got roped into protection duty, and then murdered someone, then went to the hospital, then got arrested, and then got arrested again by a different agency. Ash went to find Iron, rolled a 1 on tracking, and found a guy with a dire wolf she is trying to heal. And so forth
>>73993
Well obviously there are jewelers. So what does he want to find?

Yeah, that's true. Silver's primary concern right now is just "find a job", so it would be best for him to just look around places of interest for any one in need of help. But that's pretty bog-standard, and fairly boring.

He moves the bar over, and then sits down in a seat a little over to his left and your right. Mr. Talonberg picks up a monocle, and starts to inspect the bar
"This is a mine's ingot. It's the way they cast the gold before it is sent over to goldsmiths or to mints. Where did you get this?"

City Hall is a very large marble rectangular buiding, with 4 floors, a vaulted green roof, and a dome in the center, in a Neocolonial style. A public fountain is in a square before the building. There are bronze Manticore statues on either side of the steps that lead up to a large entrance to the Structure on the second floor.

As he goes through the front door he can see the building's interior. The floor is tile with an ornate pattern of the sun, with rays flowing out from the center. A large hallway goes off to the left, another to the right, and another forwards. Though the area of the entrance has a ceiling going up 20 feet, there is a railing for a hall of the second floor. To the left of the center is a portrait of the current Mayor: Larry Berry, a dark looking unicorn. Now, what is he looking for?

The room must be open to the public, because he is able to simply open the door and walk in. There is no pony to greet him, and this room must not be in use at this exact time.

On the open side of that semicircle is a wooden desk elevated well above the rest, in a way kind of like a judge's chair and stand in a court room. There is a small wooden wall behind the wooden semicircle, with a number of wooden rows, again like a courtroom. When a pony is asked, "The Aldermares are the elected City Council of Baltimare.

The moment I took a nap on the keyboard you respond? What timing
Iron shakes his head. "I already told you that I would not take you because of your responsibilities. You do not know how important it is for me that I even considered you." Iron stands up. "Do you even know why I could have chosen you? Because you are a great mother. It is not because you are just good looking. You are better than just a little statuette to decorate and play with on the side. The act of coitus is really important to me, because I choose the mares that go back to my home with me through it. I basically admitted that you are worthy to me, but... I cannot take you with me," Iron looks to the side, somewhat frustrated "unless you drop everything and leave, and I know you cannot do that. Family is more important than love."

"If that were what you meant, then why oh why would you start of by telling me how you love some girl, and then say 'but we can have sex right now'?"

Also, worth noting.
What season is it in game?
Has the Equestrian seasonal/weather management been affected by the fall of the empire (as in, I would imagine a lot of ponies would have difficultly managing the climate, with the changeling occupation and the regime change)?
Rolling knowledge (Nature) to see what sister Ash knows about Equestrian Weather in the current era.

"Because I felt powerless to take you with me." Iron looks down. "I know that without you sacrificing everything else for me, it would not work out. I simply wanted to vent my frustrations with you because I know you care about me." Iron then looks at the glass again. "I feel like I have no chance of getting you to go with me forever because you are tied down by all the responibilities you have. I do not want your body, but you, the pony, and it is impossible in your current situation. That is why I lost hope of being with you. Why I thought you did too. It is an impossible love. I know it is. It would require a great deal of sacrifice for one of us, and I do not have the strength to leave behind my aspirations or force you to cut ties with your family. Do you know I mean?" Iron sighs again. "I just wanted to vent out my frustration with you. Becuase you would understand. Maybe you dislike the idea of sex itself, but I knew no other way to express my love to you than to share the essence of life with you." Iron shakes his head. "I know I am wrong now. You do not need to cater to me just because I vented to you. I know that it is impossible now after your reaction. I thought it was acceptable. Now I know it is not." Iron takes off his wolf helmet. "I guess what I mean is, I wanted to be with you, but I cannot see a way to be together and I felt frustrated because of it. Therefore I lost hope and thought we could at least be friends who tell their deepest secrets to eachother." Iron's ears are still drooped. "That is how I feel."

It is mid-early January in a climate comparable to Orlando, Florida. She knows that the Equestrians see Nature as being in a real way dependent on ponies. This might be why that nun expressed horror at Ash's statement - she told of a worldview where sentient creatures are subject to nature and have no right to intervene, or think of themselves as superior, whereas in the Equestrian view, nature is not merely subject, it's scarcely even a separate entity from ponykind. She knows that weather tends to be managed by government agencies. The weather looks... less than ideal from what you would expect if the ponies could literally choose their own weather, so something is off. Cloudsdale is in West Equestria/The Changeling Zone

"If you were concerned, the dire wolves aren't actually extinct in this region... yet. It seems recent developments have reduced and split their territory, leading them to run into ponies a bit more often.." she says, again making awkward eye contact with the wolf
"There's actually a couple packs far down in the wilderness down South. There aren't that many more left though.."

She walks into the Grand Baltimare Hotel. A few lights are on, and a guard in the lobby looks up at them, but doesn't say anything. Blue Skies takes him upstairs, and says to him "Did you see that? A Changeling assassin could just walk right in." The doors to the second, third, and fourth floors are closed, but the fifth floor door is open, and leads into a hallway with cream colored walls and a light red carpet, with dim lights. She keeps walking down the hallway, until she gets to a door on the left that must be unlocked, as she simply opens it. The room is, well, it's a nice hotel room, with big windows (blinds closed), a large bed with a pink flower pattern on the covers. There are a couple jars on the table and at least one set of clothing, so you have to guess that this room is actually used by her. She closes the door and prances over to the other side of the bed, raising her tail as soon as the door is shut, making the view of her rump as she does so better than normal. She rubs her long, flowing tail against Dark Star's face She then goes to the other side of the bed, laying facing Dark Star, her hind legs hanging over the side and standing, with her forelegs on the bed, hooves curled up under her legs
"Here we are" She smiles warmly, looks at him seductively, and wags her raised tail
>>74094
"I know they aren't extinct, but they are rare. Part of why i wanted one"
>>74091
She sits down, still with a kind of skepticism, but she isn't angry
"Alright, a few things. First off, I am not too busy to have a life nor am I 'too weighed down' by responsibilities. I am perfectly capable of managing a relationship, foals or whathaveyou. Second, unless you are well, at least a made stallion or rich, the only mares who will say yes to 'hey babe I love someone else more but you want to fug' are mares who shapeshift and will not leave you feeling better afterwards. And even if you are rich, most will not like being talked to that way"

Iron cocks his head. "Is that how it is nowadays? Just one mare to share your devotion to? It is kinda selfish but I guess that is how it is." Iron ponders. "I do not think you can just up and leave with me, so it is highly improbable for us to work still. Like I said, I am not to be tied down by others since I have ties far away from here." Iron ponders more. "What do you mean by those mares that shapeshift?"

"I know you aren't from nearby, because all of the tribes are much further south. Beyond the Everrainforest. I will tell you that whether you are in Zebrica, or Baltimare, you are allowed one bride only. Sure, the Mayor has his mistresses, but that is no complement to him, nor does it inspire faith in his moral character. One mare. One. Second, act with some humility. You were the biggest goldfish in the fish tank, I know that. But here in Baltimare, the hierarchy is a bit different. Have some humility. Even The Duke pretends to be grateful to his supporters, and sometimes calls himself 'a humble servant.'"

"Humility?" Iron looks confused. "Why would ponies value humility here? Nevertheless, I did support you if you know what I mean." His body shakes a bit, making the bits clang softly just for her to hear. "And I did not expect the slightest bit of support back from you. Is that not how you show gratefulness? To help others with living their lives?"

“Ponies like humility because no one wants to be on the bottom. That’s why I do as I do.”

She is kissed as such, and kisses right back for at least a solid minute
Blue Skies retains her seductive eyes and wickedly wicked mile, and gets on the bed. As she gets up, she pulls her rump and shows Dark Star. “So you get a good view.” Then she moves around and positions her body facing Dark Star. She grabs onto Dark Star’s penis with her hoof, and holds his testicles with the other. Her wings are spread out in full, and he can see that her ice blue wings are wider than the bed and probably have almost as much surface area. She places her face down next to Dark Star’s penis as if posing for a picture.

"It is not just a contract. It is a reward for your help. I would not have known where to go if it were not for you. That is how ponies help eachother. For mutual benefit. Humility is just a mask to pretend that you get what you are owed when in fact they just tickle your feelings to take advantage of you later on. After all, they treated you so nicely that you should do even more for them." Iron shrugs. "Maybe I am wrong, but do not expect me to believe this 'humility' is a great thing becuase it is just sweet lies to gain more stuff dishonestly. Because we all want to be rewarded for our efforts, just that some ponies are not honest about it."

“I would have placed it in my mouth, except that I don’t know if you’d want to kiss me after. Now, I know you’ve told me that it’s your first time, and I should try to be polite, but I really do have to work in the morning, so please forgive me if I skip the foreplay. I’ll make it up to you sometime.”
She sits up, kneeling, and moves her dark blue mane behind her neck. Her chest sticks out further than her belly, and Dark Star can see her teats. She picks herself up with fire gloves over Dark Star, and then moves herself down onto him, and him into her. Her grip on his penis firm if soft and wet. If he was afraid she would feel ‘worn’ or used, he can place that fear aside. She leans close over him, her hooves to either side, so Dark Star may look into her lustful, hungry eyes, kiss her, or hug her as she likes. She moves up and down over him, slowly now, using her hind legs and her wings.

She keeps going, now clenching down consistently to try to gain traction with the excess of fluids in her
She still has a hungry look, and she rubs his face with the tip of her wing, which it looks like she was finally able to make retract

Dark Star powers on with his enthusiasm, but between the gunshots wounds, whatever was in that needle the doctor gave him, the 2:00 AM time, and the very energetic sex, he is definitely feeling physically tired. Not to imply it could slow him down.
Blue Skies pushes herself up off of him to where she is now sitting up. She has a happy smile on her now. “I like this energy, but there is just too much liquid here.”
She pushes herself off of him, where he is now completely out but touching her. “Let me fix this.” She moves herself forward slightly, and now tries to push herself down on him with a different hole. This one is a hell of a lot tighter, but the semen lubricates it.

“That’s how you ride” she says, and she presses down against the bed with both her wings and her hooves. She seems to like the touching of the hips, as she has liked all affectionate touching so far. She keeps up the pace. Her eyes almost glow now with satisfaction, and her expression returns to wicked
However long it takes to tire Dark Star out, and take from him all he has, she keeps up. Dark Star requires more stimulation at this point, but the grip is tighter and the pace faster. When Dark Star has finished a second or third time, she carefully dismounts him, and kisses him.
He is sure as hell tired now. She moves off to go to the bathroom, and after a minute returns with a wet rag to start wiping Dark Star. Her smile is back to happy. “That was fun. I hope Sea Breeze lets us have an ongoing working relationship.” She moves some covers, and then curls herself up next to Dark Star, pressing her coat against him. She is demanding to be cuddled

*cuddled pony noises*
With a happy smile and contented sounds, it seems that the bitchy Pegasus has been tamed beneath Dark Star’s foreleg and leg
He wakes up at 8 AM to find himself feeling like shit. Blue Skies is gone from the room. Maybe he shouldn’t have drank alcohol after taking whatever the hell drug that shifty doctor gave him. Maybe he shouldn’t have had so much sex after so much blood loss. Or maybe that’s just what it feels like when you get shot twice and stabbed and then only sleep 5 hours. He doesn’t have anywhere to be immediately and it kind of looks like he can stay here. His body strongly recommends sleeping in.

Maybe Cauldron did not tell her anything and was saying the truth. Maybe she did. His posture is rigid and his eyes dart all across the room. If what Cauldron said was true, then the mere fact that he admitted to having sex with a zebra as well as being in love with her is going to destroy the small progress he made to woo her. And Ash is quite a catch, already accostumed to living in nature and all. Breathe in, breathe out.

She definetly did it. She absolutely did, the bastard. I knew she was into it. She was just so selfish to grab all romantic attention for herself. And here he thought that she was strong as she told her after that debt collecting business. Now he knew that after all that talk, she was still a mare. A selfish mare at that. He has a big urge to strike her, but he recalls his dad's advice when at the jungle. 'Son, if you actively seek revenge, your success will be hampered. You have to live better than her. That will show her.' That is correct. He knew that the moment he overcomes this setback and obtains what he wants anyways, she will suffer from it. Oh, and will she suffer. He was willing to take both mares as equals, now he knows Cauldron's true colors. She will cut ties after this bullshit.

He takes their bandanas as just a strange modern fashion statement. "Northern-most pier?" He looks around, realizing he's lost sight of Spark, but after he can't find him, he makes a decision anyways. "I think I will go see this for myself. Thank you for help." With that, he heads for the pier, using what he remembers from the map to make his way.

In summary, he explains to himself that kicking the zebra's ass for what she's done will hamper his chances of success at most things, like Ash's favour. So he essentailly reasons that getting Ash as a marefriend will hurt her may more than physically hurting her in any way. That is what it is supposed to mean.

"We believe that members of the Waterfront gang contracted to bring in guns from Griffonia. Insiders within the group must have staged a mass robbery of the transaction, which went badly and left more than a dozen dead.

"The Waterfront gang is a term used to refer to an organized crime syndicate that operates here in Baltimare.

I guess it's okay to think that. Who knows, maybe Cauldron has a change of heart, but I think you did it on purpose to cause strife for bad decisions. I don't really know how to change Iron's heart because in his mind, he already explained himself and now he thinks she is just malignant or some shit like that.

"I was raised into an aristocratic Pegasi warrior family in Nimbusia. We were among the homioi, or citizen class there. My father was a little distant and my mother was hard. My older brother, I think he suffered some sort of brain damage as a result of a jousting incident that pierced below his eye. He would make fantastic claims about me. He never accepted me as a part of the family. But they trained me in the warrior tradition. Not just direct combat, but stealth as well, and ranged combat. When the time came I went into the trials, the agoge, and became a full citizen. But there was this worker helot. A crafts stallion serf, who had a grudge against me. I think he thought I was in a relationship with his son? Anyways, he made some accusations. Now, no one really trusts the helots, but combined with my delusional older brother – and the alleged relationship with the Earth pony serf – I was chased out.

"Yeah, so in North city there was this area of lots that were cleared to allow for multifamily and some businesses by this business pony named Glass Horizon, and one of these lots had an old house on it with what was always believed to be a flooded quarry. And all this required a change in zoning in that area, because there was a plan by the city to develop new business over there, and well, gentrify a blighted area. But when the excavated around the old house they found grave sites, which was okay because they were native graves, too old to be protected by law, but when they drained the quarry... well, it wasn't a quarry, because whoever made that rocky set of crypts did not have good intent. It's hardly a severe infestion because the necromancer that must have done that has been gone since before Equestrian settlement, so most of the dangers are gone, but it is enough to keep crews off the area"

But when the excavated around the old house they found grave sites, which was okay because they were native graves, too old to be protected by law, but when they drained the quarry... well, it wasn't a quarry, because whoever made that rocky set of crypts did not have good intent. It's hardly a severe infestion because the necromancer that must have done that has been gone since before Equestrian settlement, so most of the dangers are gone, but it is enough to keep crews off the area"

Where is the cannery?

>Asking around for gang members
Well that's some sketchy shit. After three ponies of asking, he gets to a Stallion with a beard and a grey suit
"Who wants to know?" he asks

"I would like that. We've been sort of thrown into the fire together, so we haven't really had much chance to, well grow accustomed. So this could be our first date I guess. Where do you want to take me on our first date?"
She walks past him with her sleek appearance, and rubs her long blue tail against Dark Star's face.
She gives him another devious look
"While I don't want to come off as well, 'loose,' I do like to kiss on a first date. I think of myself as a romantic"
>>74387
"Again, I ask who are you? Are you with the police?" says the fancily dressed stallion
>>74385
"Oh you can go up to the edge of the lot, that's open. The dangerous area is off limits, so going in there would be trespassing. That means Glass Horizons can't be sued if somepony goes in and gets killed"
>>74383
Well, she can get to the east shore, which she finds is mostly seaport

"Sure" says the employee. She circles an area in North town on the map, with an arrow of the exact position.
"Actually though, I think what you want to do is go to a real estate office and ask about the property. When you go in, tell them you are looking to clear the Silver Springs quarry."
She circles a spot on the map
"It's this office right here you want. They might even pay you"
>>74399
Ash can smell what smells like, well, Diesel fuel and gasoline. Unless there's been like a spill or explosion, this area seems like it isn't really fit for food processing
>>74398
"Alright then, 'Silver.' Let me tell you that the Waterfront gang does not, and would not, rob a transaction like that. We-they value their reputation and repeat business. They would never attack a crew like that. But rogue elements... Untrustworthy members... Now they just might."

The pony pulls his cigar out of his mouth, because why the hell have I not already described him as smoking a cigar, and he moves forward.

"That sounds like a good place to go"

She can see a subroad that goes down to a west entrance, and a center subroad that goes to a loading area. Behind the building are large docks where a trawling vessel is parked at the docks. A more regular entrance, evidently for workers, is on the East

'Why hello there" says a mare from behind a nice white counter

And this gets him suspicious
"For what purpose?"

"Ooh! hehe. Well, let's go then"
Blue Skies puts on a green scarf before she goes. They walk out of the room, outside and down the street.

Pretty sure Iron wins this one. It's kind of hard to say. No ponies seem to be outside the loading bay, but ponies are inside. Two ponies stand outside the east wall, but it isn't immediately obvious if they are armed. Several are on the dock, but they aren't in line of sight, as they are behind the building

"And what do I have to do with 21 counts of first degree murder, eight counts of attempted murder, and numerous weapons violations? Nothing. Nothing at all"

Pretty sure they would consider me a possible liability since I don't respect higher-ups that much, or that mare that stopped the fight either.

Personality I definitely have to work on, but I've already got most of his backstory figured out. I just thought it would be better to wait to explain it when it comes up rather than to just word vomit all over.

I should say by "word vomit" I mean just going into a grandiose dialogue spree about his origins and what his life has been like with little to no provocation. I'm fine with explaining things OOC if someone has a question.

"Last night I was... Shall we say, a bit aggressive. The active partner in the relationship. And it makes me feel... kind of like a wolf hunting down lambs. An innocent, little virgin lamb. But I consider myself a romantic and, well, a mare hunting down stallions? That's not romantic at all. I want to be the passive one in the relationship. One who is given love and affection. One to whom courting gestures and romantic overtures are made. I saw what you did yesterday with the Communists. You don't need to impress me more than you already have. I only need to want me and make me know it. So you tell me how you feel. I'll take what you want to give, and I think you've seen what I have to give."

"Back in olden times, in places like Yakyakistan, there was this group known as the 'Buggee.' This was a particular Changeling Hive that had this practice of raiding traveling caravans. What they would do is find a caravan travelling between cities, and join it as if they were just new members. And the merchants would be unawares. The caravan would travel on, and eventually have to stop for a night at a point between towns. After the merchants went to sleep the Buggee would come out, and by the light of the full moon would slaughter every merchant and take their wares. Now, that particular hive was crushed long ago. But you don't need to be a shapeshifter to make that tactic work. Simply walk into a group that is relatively unsuspecting, pose as new members, and then attack when they are are vulnerable. Maybe that is what happened there.
Or maybe the answer is simpler. A pony dropped a cigarette in the wrong place, and that started a fire which created tension between the weapons sellers and the buyers."

Iron is or was actually basically considered to be a member of the Waterfront gang as a faction, or at least have his foot in the door. For instance at the guarded warehouse. Iron was recognized by Cauldron, and thus it was easier for the group to pass on through, whereas Dark Star's lies about being Communists weren't going to help him that much at the checkpoint because the ponies he was talking to were not Communist
For another instance, the cannery. This is actually an operation run by the Waterfront gang which iron has done work for and has (had) a contact in. Iron could variously, through Black Cauldron, get her to use her contacts to simply let them through the front door, plan a secret backdoor operation, or inadvertently tip the whole gang off that they are about to be robbed and so set a trap or move from that location
I like to reuse NPCs and story pieces because I think that that makes you feel like you are getting to know the world, and because it gives you a sense that the actions you take in the world have meaning. If the pony you are talking to today is the same one you met yesterday, and they behave differently today because of that, then you can feel like what you did yesterday actually did something in the world.
>>74520
Generally what you need is a set of proclivities or motivations that affects the way they interact with the story.
Iron wants to bully people. This helped him because it lead him to do work for the Waterfront gang, which is all about bullying people that are actually weaker than him.
Dark Star wants to advance Fascism. This immediately lead him to the Black Hooves faction, who hired him first to spy on Communists, and then to destroy a communist operation.
Ash wants to help the unfortunate. This lead her to a group of nuns at an orphanage, who have a problem with the Waterfront gang
I tried to recruit Onyx into the Communist faction, but he turned that down
Silver actually does have a sympathy already, and that is his Restorationist sympathies. Maybe it's just a problem with how I have written the story, but in the area of Baltimare, the restorationists are pretty passive, and mostly go along with the Blackhooves. The nuns Ash contacted were actually Restorationists with an issue with the Blachooves, but the political side of that was not explored.

The situation on the docks had the party approaching from the East, giving the area an "East is up" map.

The North side is on the bay itself, with a pier that goes out and currently has a trawler moored to it

It could be that the Restorationists are currently more easily affected by the Black Hooves' tactics and subjugation than the other factions. After all, I imagine most Restorationists are just normal ponies - former Equestrian citizens - who still hold a love for their lost nation and the Princesses who ruled it, unlike members of the other factions. It could also be that they view the Black Hooves as the lesser of three evils. The communists want to establish an independent democratic socialist state in South Equestria in the same vein as Stalliongrad, and are known to use violence, threats of violence, and coercion to get their way. And the changelings are, well, the changelings. Compared to those two, New Mareland, while still disagreeable, is the certainly better option.
His first suggestion actually makes him look back to his time during the war, and his experiences with how the changelings operated covertly. Scout, infiltrate, probe, divide, destroy. It isn't too far off from reality, and, at least to Silver, with as much tension as there is in Baltimare, it would make sense. "Yes. This does sound like typical changeling operation. I hope against all hope it is not, for that is worst possibility of all, but it fits what I know." He pauses while he further considers the situation. "I know you said you can not disclose who your clients are, but, this client, is it group that is easy to divide? Large, prone to infighting, anything of that nature that would make it easy for changelings to infiltrate?"

Both are wearing brown uniforms that must be guard uniforms

The red pegasus takes Ash and and Iron around, with the green pony staying in his place, although mostly watching Iron and watch the red pony's back. They arrive at the entrance, and go through. At the entrance is a small waiting room that leads into a hallway. Past an open door that is evidently to a break room, the pony leads them into a hallway on the left, that leads to a room with a mare at a desk outside. the red pony tells Ash "this is the foremare's office." He says to the mare there, evidently filling the role of a secretary, "she says she is looking for somepony and wants to meet the foremare"
He leaves and leaves Ash with the secretary

Mules abd dinkeys are only seen in about three episodes of the TV show with no homeland or kingdom, and are not in the Hoi4 mod, so I am basically omitting them. In this story, the jungle natives represent the Nuhuatl peoples of Mexico, who are the descendants of Aztecs and basically Mexican Native Americans. I have contemplated having NPCs occasionally refer to Natives as “Indios,” which is a Spanish Mexican racial slur for native Mexicans

It suddenly Dawn's on Sister Ash that she's made an awful miscalculation.
She excuses herself and leaves.

"I'm just a wandering volunteer, trying to assist some vulnerable ponies in any way I can. I'm looking for a mare whom I thought may have resided in this building, but it seems I was mistaken. I beg your pardon for the time you have set aside for me, and I appreciate your hospitality. Goodbye." She says with a polite bow

"Well, he wasn't governor at the time. But he was the one who let me come here."
She is visibly impressed by the Changeling knowledge "I see you know about the eye test"
>>74604
The foremare does not seem content with this
"Are you looking for a missing person?"
>>74602
"And nice to talk to you." Silver is allowed to leave the room and the bar without incident, and is given his sword back

"Yes." She replies as she turns to leave
"The person I was looking for was last seen at a cannery in this region. But it seems I have come across the incorrect building. I bid you farewell."

The Foremare has a sort of anger in her voice suggesting she is not willing to accept "farewell" for an answer
"What did she look like, and where was she missing from?"

With that, he feels somewhat more satisfied, even if he still doesn't know who or what caused the incident at the pier yet. But at the same time, he's grown slightly worried by the talk he had. Changelings...Equestria struggled just to keep them from overrunning their positions during the war, and that was before New Mareland invaded and turned it into a two front war. Prancesco might have scoffed at the idea that the changelings could be this far east, but he knows what they're capable of, how they operate, what will happen if they're already entrenched in the various factions around the city.
He tries to shake his head clear of his troubles. It won't do him any good to get all worked up about just yet. He looks up at the sun, trying to judge what time of day it is now.

This does not help Iron. He feels like this is the wrong place since there hasn't been a lot of movement trying to ambush Iron or there was no sounds of struggle for now.

She is contented by this answer
"Thank you. We will keep a look out for her. You may go now"
>>74612
"That's recommended when subject to the test. If you ever want to do it yourself, I recommend having several other ponies around in ready stance. Changelings don't like getting caught"
>>74611
2:00 PMish I think. The Baltimare Governate does not share a border with the Changeling Empire, although you would need to pass it by sea for almost any sea based trade with Griffonia

As they leave the waiting room, they see that two uniformed guards are standing in the hallway behind them, in the direction of the factory floor. Towards the entrance and to the sides are no fewer than three guards. One of them has a big black boxy looking gun of a make Ash has never seen before. None of them say anything to Ash or to Iron, and they stand in positions that would effectively block the path were she going any other direction than out, but do not block their exit from the structure
>>74619
It's on the exact opposite side of town, and in fact isn't even actually in town. I was under the impression Ash would go back to the orphanage where she could have gotten a ride from Priestess Sundew

Okay, sorry for the fuck up.
The two make their way towards the cannery that Ollie described, on the North shore.

His stomach grumbles in response, reminding him that his body is no longer running off of his breakfast. He begins to wander around to look for someplace where he can grab a late lunch.

"Oh, I like to go to bars and... You know I haven't had that much free time since I got here, since the Blackhooves have been working me fairly hard. I enjoy my work. Before I came here I would like to do racing competitions with the other pegasi, see who could fly the best or fastest. I rarely won but it was something to do with the other pegasi. I would try to hunt wolves and other creatures on some occasions"
She looks away, almost embarrassed "I like to read novels," Then she looks back. "what about you?"
>>74630
For all of Baltimare's other sins, the city has a sufficient number of restaurants within walking distance to provide choice. What sort of restaurant is Silver looking for?
>>74629
She can deduce that the Cannery in question must be the Lunar Ocean Cannery in the town of North Point. Does she know how to get there?

One idea takes hold above all others: meat. It would repulse most other ponies, as it's still taboo across most of Equestria, but he's grown rather fond of the flavor of beef roast over the past few years.

"Aww.... That must hold fond memories for you. It sort of reminded me of a wholesome era, like my homeland used to be"
The food has arrived, a sandwich and spaghetti, and Apple whiskey
>>74636
True, and you got the name a specific town, but this one is further away
>>74638
Have you noticed I've made all of my food descriptions vegetarian?
A shop that sells meat foods exists, although he has to journey a little further away towards the east to find it.
This shop seems to cater predominantly to Griffons, although Diamond Dogs can also be found in here. He is able to get a seat and a griffon waiter

He takes a quick look at the menu, to see if they have some sort of roast available.

For Ash and Iron, the sunset is coming soon. This facility is abandoned, and dominated by grey walls and roofs. It looks a little larger, and has some concrete areas around it. The whole lot has a chain linked fence around it that is locked

A couple ponies prancing by give him dirty glances through the window... Even though he is not the only pony inside this particular shop. At least he's not a Changeling.
Yes, there is a roast. Cow flesh. A polar bear at the other end seems to be enjoying the roast. A griffon waiter takes the order

Iron is not that bothered. "We can go inside. I will just jump over the chain link fence and buck the lock there. After that, it should be easy to explore for clues." Iron starts unstrapping all of his armor for that inmediate jump.

Not nearly as funny as Iron rolling a 1 on a jump roll, getting caught on the fence, finally getting over, bucking the door open, and then realizing that he could have just bucked the door open from his side without needing to jump over to the opposite side of the fence to do it
>>74657
Like I'm seriously considering nullifying that action

I mean, it takes 4 minutes to remove Full Plate, and 4 minutes to put it back on (plus, you take the hasty donning penalty for doing it without help). In that amount of time, she would have run out of patience.

Well, that would be the point where she just goes "fuck it" and melts through the fence.
Also, checking those satanic trips.

The thing that amazes me about it is the felt need to jump over the fence in order to buck it. Like I get that there is probably some sort of logic behind it concerning which side the lock is on, but if we are being real, it's just as easy to buck open on one side as the other
