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.
>>73326Well, her modified 24 was enough to provide for 8 people, so he's welcome to tag along.
>>73332L-lewdIron sleeps on the same camp as Ash's, a small distance away.
>>73327Goes with blue skies to the eastside tavern
>>73333Your football has been checked.
>>73335I would've figured she would look for a dive.
>>73327>>73329Do I really need to have 10 skill ranks to take 10, or just a modifier of more than 10?
I distributed most of my skills in such a way that I should be able to take 10 on them in non-combat scenarios.
>>73337This, she likes
"So, where do you want to go from here? When we analyze what we found today, we'll be able to hunt down more communist cells"
>>73340Oh fine
>>73338Look for a dive?
>>73341Another name for a bar, pretty much.
>>73341Dark Star smiles at this
"I love it! hunting them feels great."
>>73343This thrills her
"I know right? We got something like 12 of them tonight, and another half dozen alive. They were going to send those guns and the advisers to safe houses. We'll track those down soon enough.
With what you've accomplished tonight, I think they will let you be a full agent. After just 36 hours. That's quite an accomplishment"
>>73344>DinerYes
>Drive-inYes
>DiveIs that like a New York City term or something?
>>73329*builds makeshift tent*
*Makes a bed of grass*
*Avoids direwolves*
*Finds something edible*
*Lights campfire*
"~Ah.. What more could a pony need?"
Pic unrelated
>>73346"That is the truth, Ash." Iron pipes up. "The absolute truth."
>>73347Oh bother...
Can I add my survival mod?
[1d20 = 1]
Survival mode is +12....
>>73351Good think I'm with you... I think.
>>73345"I Didnt Do it alone,you were a big help."
>>73351Have we confirmed yet if Atlas is controlling the dice or not? This many meme rolls is too much just to be mere coincidence.
>>73351A pair of yellow eyes appear in the night. Then another, then another, then another, then another
>>73354She blushes
"Those fuckers ran me out of my second home. I am not about to lose this one to them as well. Your team did pretty well. All of the major objectives were accomplished"
>>73351And *this* is why I'd prefer to take 10 on survival checks...
>>73356"Yea Especially the bartender he was untouchable."
>>73353Well, I can fly away, idk about you though...
[1d20 = 4]>>73357Rolling to check the extent of Altas' influence.
>>73360I can climb the trees. I have +7 for it.
>>73361Not sure how to take that result.
>>73359"He was certainly a killing machine.
The official story tomorrow will read that an explosion happened on the docks, police responded, two police officers were killed by an assailant with a machine gun, with some suspicion of a changeling being involved, and so MPs were dispatched to secure the area... Only to find that an illegal weapons transaction had evidently gone sour.
There will be those who think that the Black Hooves knew all along and murdered them. What the Communists don't know that we know, is that they have plants in our reserve soldiery. Remember Red Feathers? He didn't show up at the meeting tonight. He also didn't show up to work on time. He finally arrived on a different shift with evident injuries to his right eye. He was placed in the group that responded. He and another plant will report to the communists that they were not scrambled to respond until after shots had been fired, after the fire, and arrived on scene to hear gunshots. And he will tell them that he found corpses of creatures killed in all sorts of ways - stabbed in both eyes, impaled, flame. They know we only use bullets. They will not believe it was us"
>>73362At least 4 in front of her
>>73366.... Do I recognize any of them?
>>73367Why yes, Jimbo from school, Bob from summer camp, Rosestein who she sees at Temple.... Hell no she doesn't recognize any of them
>>73368I think she meant that she could find the dire wolf that attacked her and the civvies.
>>73369That individual was a sole survivor
>>73370>>73371That won't work then. Do I have tall trees to climb and escape their reach?
>>73371>>73368>Not the one from this morningSister Ash stands up with her broom, looking rather flustered with her bed-mane, and looks towards the wolves quizically
>"Oh what now?"
>>73374>>73374Trees are of moderate height, reaching maybe 30 feet in height and 1 foot in diameter
>>73376She looks at Dark Star with a look of uncertainty. "Any plans for tomorrow? Or tonight?"
[1d20 = 12]>>73377Can I stand on them with that diameter?
>>73377"Recover from my injures, maybe drink a little,maybe look for a bounty."
>>73378Disregard the dice. I misrolled.
>>73379"Should I leave you alone to that?"
>>73378Perhaps. Roll dice
[1d20+7 = 25]>>73377Sister Ash prepares a readied action to spring away as soon as they attack.
>"Could you all, like.. not?"
>>73381Take the twelve if you want a 1d20 roll.
[6d20 = 45]>>73382They ponder this course of action. Add +6 to the dice
>>73381"Feels free to accompany me i would love it."
>Fight = Averted
"Ah, nice to know the locals around here are a bit more reasonable." She says with a yawn
Sister Ash tosses all of her foraged rations towards the wolves as compensation, before she goes back to sleep on her makeshift grassbed.
And with that, I bid you all goodnight.
>>73389See you tomorrow. Sleep well.
>>73388She moves around to his side of the table and lays on him, in a cuddling fashion, with one leg over him, and a wing in part behind him
>>73389This they take
>>73387>>73386>>73382>>73389Iron, glad that the wolves did not attack them and bit their hides off, sleeps on the grass near the makeshift grassbed, not before taking off his hide armor (which is only the wolf armor.)
Night everyone as well
>>73388>>73393They're already at the tavern, I take it.
>>73396Anyone interesting in the bar?
>>73397The mare purrs, and has a definite happiness to her
>>73399At the moment I don't believe so
>>73401"I know I am not waifu material, but it feels good to be held"
>>73402"Of course you're waifu material blue."
Fuck it.
With a small sigh, Silver sits down on the side of his bed, looking at the sack of Bits he's acquired, contemplating it a bit more with his thoughts. After a couple minutes of silent consideration, he peeks inside to see exactly how much he's added to his funds.
>>73403"Are you sure? I know how I come across"
>>73404300 bits
>>73405"I like how you come across."
>>73406"How do I come across to you?"
>>73405He considers it one final time, before getting up from the bed.
"Fuck it. I'm thirsty." He has a good stretch, popping a few joints in the process, and wanders down to the bar to see if it's even open at this hour.
>>73408Its auxiliary bartender is gone, that I can tell you right now. But yes, last call is not until 2:00 AM
>>73409He sighs once more, sitting down at the counter.
"One more drink, then I am off to bed."
>>73410She slightly laughs
"I can safely say I've never been called
that before"
>>73411The over worked bartender comes up to him. "And here I thought you had gone to sleep. What can I get for you?"
>>73412"i also think you are a great fighter."
>>73413"Could not sleep." He looks over at the drinks menu, giving his decision a couple seconds to be made. "Do you have any of that blackjack from Skyfall left?"
>>73414"D'aww, thanks. I trained to be among the phalanx when I was a filie. I passed a set of trials they call the agoge, which emphasized both strength and stealth. Now I specialize in shooting people in the back"
>>73415"Sure, it's pretty expensive though"
>>73417He nods, placing down the fairly hefty number of Bits needed for the drink. "Yes. But I have heard it is worth it."
>>73418"Over in the east, way over in the East, the ponies there were in constant threat of invasion from the griffons. But the Phalanx, strong Pegasi warriors, held the line against the Griffins. We drove them back many a time, sometimes outnumbered 10 or more to 1"
>>73419Okay, just to be clear, the stuff is expensive because it is illegal to import, not because it is particularly old. Something like cuban cigars. So don't expect it to be the best ever"And here you go goodsir"
He fills the glass with the Blackjack Whiskey
>>73420I know, but that doesn't mean it isn't of good quality, either.He takes a sip, intending to enjoy his drink before he heads off to bed. In the meantime, he glances back to the old recruitment poster he saw coming into the tavern. "I am surprised they let you keep that up."
>>73421It has a pretty powerful kick to it.
"They don't really bother to check every building. I keep it up as reminder of the days when we stood united as one"
>>73423She gets up a little and sort of leans over the table
"I was raised in Nimbusia, in an Aristocratic family"
>>73422The drink makes him shiver a bit.
"Perfect." Outside of his thoughts, he looks back at the barkeeper. "It is good reminder. Brings back good memories."
>>73425"Where were you during the war?"
>>73424"oh wow youre royalty? im just a commoner."
>>73427"No, no... The
homioi were aristocracy in a sense. The sense that the Pegasi warriors were at the top of society. But truly, we were
citizens, all equal o each other."
>>73426He scratches his chin as he gathers his thoughts. "I was too old to be drafted. Too old to volunteer. So, I did what I had been doing for long time: mercenary work. Mostly operated behind enemy lines, gathering intel, taking out VIPs, running messages. Rarely was I on front lines. Decent work. Hard, dirty at times, but decent."
>>73429"We had all proven ourselves through the trials. We were the warrior class who were the guardian protectors of the eastern ponies against the griffins. We were free - no one's slaves."
>>73430"Damn. Those changelings must have been tough to deal with with their disguises"
>>73431"General rule when fighting changelings: avoid other ponies whenever possible." He takes another sip. "It helps to operate in their own lands. They get confident. Cocky. They do not think they will get attacked, so they do not bother with disguises. But in enemy lands? Different story."
