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.
>>72980"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."
>>72980"I still have children to find. The government seems to be less than enthusiastic to do anything about that."
>>72982Blue Skies stares at Ash. I don't believe the two have spoken to each other since Ash tried to burn her by raising all of the metal equipment on her above boiling point
>>72980"You Should Give me a sip of that."
>>72982"I can help you find it if you need it. Just say the word." Iron stands by Ash's side.
>>72981"So are the police going to be hunting us after they grow tired of going after this gang?"
>>72982"After we get to safety and get them to stop fighting over metals, then I will try to help you out with that."
>>72984"Sorry, but you can't drink Tipsy."
>>72987"Of course. A stallion should always help a mare in need ." Iron strokes her mane. "Especially one as cute as you."
>>72990"Maybe..."
I hold it closer to myself.
>>72993"Unicorns sure are strange."
>>72989"The Governate can hie evidence as needed. Well, except for one little problem. There were several survivors of this incident. All of them will be detained by the Governate for at least some time, and some may never be released. But if any of them get free, they could report seeing you to the Communists, the Gang, or even Baltimare PD."
>>72992She breaks the silence
"I take it you didn't take a vow of Chastity"
>>72996I don't have that feat.Sister Ash looks over, still awkwardly.
"..No.. I haven't.."
>>72988"Do you know how to drive a boat?"
>>72996"So... we need to book it out of town soon? How are we going to get out of this one?"
>>72998"That reminds me"
She starts the engine, and now guides the boat away from the ship. Slowly
>>72997"Looks like this plantation boy made quite the score tonight"
>>72999"There are a few options, but it's not an immediate problem. Don't expect any of these ponies to be released yet"
>>72995>>72998Iron laughs. "No need to thank me for stating facts. But I will want to get my wounds patched up, and get some gear, but the latter can wait."
Iron thinks. "Do you think you can patch up my wounds, Ash?"
>>72996Iron laughs. "No need to be jealous, Skies, I am sure Star can take you on a date. Unless you want me of course."
>>73001Well, 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
>>73006"Sorry, sorry. I went a bit far there." Iron giggles a little.
>>73009She whispers "No one has asked me" and then tries to take a drink from a non-existent container
>>73012"There you are, juggernaut. Want some gold?"
>>73013"Well, sure. If you're offerings
"
>>73010Iron leans closer and whispers to Dark Star about how she purrs when touched somehow. "I am sure she will not mind that you do it too."
>>73014Iron gives him a piece of gold. "I would give you more for your amazing prowess but the employer needs to give most of the gold to the organization."
>>73016"One?"
Onyx is obviously sick and tired of having nothing to his name.
>>73018"I feel you. Talk to Skies about it. It is kind of valuable. It is a gold brick, after all."
>>73019Oh a brick, not a coin.
Well this changes things completely.
"Hey, skies! Can I have a few of these?"
>>73020"We haven't heard from everyone on the subject, but at the moment it looks like each is taking one. Not to say that two is out of the question"
>>73021"Oh I'd be happy with two..."
Onyx looks at the gold like a starving man looks at food
"More than happy...."
>>73022"I am sure Shimmer would give it to you if you ask him nicely. Said he did not care about the gold brick"
>>73023"I'm wondering if ponies would grow suspicious at our new found wealth. We may want to keep the gold more of a secret than what you guys are suggesting."
>>73024"I am a literal nobody. I should be fine with ponies looking at me funny." Iron leans on Shimmer. "If you want, I can safeguard your piece indefinetly."
>>73025"Don't worry. I don't need any share of the gold. I wasn't even being paid to be here."
>>73024"I have nothing though. This'll help a lot."
He then turns to Skies
"If there's more of this waiting for me occasionally I'll gladly sign up for your group"
>>73027"It varies job by job, but sometimes, the subversives are loaded"
>>73026"I take it as mine, then." Iron pockets Shimmer's piece. There are now 6 bricks available.
