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.
>>74194The mare brings back a large glass of water. Later, he receives four waffles (yes, 4) with syrup and butter
>>74196Indeed some have, They give you a general direction that heads into the city. Ash begins to understand that this is information she knew earlier before the dog hairs lead her astray
>>74198She finds herself in the same position she was 2 hours before, unable to determine which direction he went from here
[1d20+14 = 28]>>74199Rats...
Rolling survival to try to pick up his scent.
>>74197He leaves a 100 bit tip for the waitress after hes finished and he leaves and goes to the General store.
>>74201Did she actually take the dog to the campsite to identify the scent first?
>>74202"Why... Thank you"
And so, he finds a general store on the same street after a fairly short distance
>>74203Yes.
While she was gathering wood.
>>74204Iron, completely and utterly demoralized for the day, decides to stay put in front of that restaurant. It is better to be a stationary target to be found more easily.
>>74202That's enough for a 10 person banquet.
>>74205Alright.....
The dog's tracking eventually leads her to a disreputable looking establishment known as "The Watering Hole." A crowded bar
>>74206If only there were like a location they could meet at. Iron can see that the restaurant has dancers in a risque manner, including the Kirin, They serve alcohol but also more normal foods
>>74207I know right? That's at minimum 100 USD in 2018, probably a hell of a lot more
Well, that took longer than I expected. Did I miss anything?
>>74208I see what you are implying, good sirIron decides to head to the last place he was in: The Waatering Hole, since he may be lucky and she found information that may lead Ash there... with Cauldron... He better be quick.
>>74209Somepony finally fuckedAsh did not buy a dog, but did get a shield
Iron did not get jumped in a bar fight and killed or knocked out like I was fully expecting that encounter to go
Dark Star still has time until he can meet up at the tavern.
I was hoping he would sleep in until Noon, but instead he got out of bed and rolled a 20, avoiding fatigue but still not fully healing>>74211From behind, he hears a very familiar "Hello"
>>74210The pony behind the counter does not immediately engage him, but there are plenty of goods in the store
[1d20 = 12]>>74208Hmmmmmmmm
She goes inside, looking for Iron.
Rolling gather information to ask around for The Big Iron.
>>74213Iron turns around, spooked. Hope it is not Cauldron. "Hello."
>>74214"I take it you mean the giant native pony who tries to intimidate ponies and isn't familiar with Equestrian moral values? Yes, I work with him"
>>74213He looks for a flash light and some candy
>>74213Right. I think when we last left Silver, there was something about a protest at city hall? I was so fucking tired by then, I can't remember.
>>74220Right then. Give me a minute to get settled, then I should be able to continue with more oomph this time.
>>74220"Cauldron. I am back, for now. I may have done something wrong here. I did not set up a place to meet up with my employer, hope you do not mind I came back so suddenly."
>>74219"Yes. He left after he told me he was in love with some soft spoken Kirin mare, and wanted to go on some mission to find a cannery. Something about a lost foal and wanting to be a fairy tale knight. Then he said though he loves her, he wanted to take me upstairs and fuck me.
I take it you're the soft spoken Kirin"
>>74222"That'll be 20 bits. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
>>74223"Are you speaking about the Waterfront Gang?"
>>74225Sister Ash steps back, a look of confusion crossing her face
".. I.. I-I don't know.."
>>74226"What? No. Nevermind. I will stay here until she arrives." Iron fidgets a bit uncomfortably.
>>74227"Wears a wolf hide? I suspect that he didn't tell you that he worked for the Waterfront Gang. Do you happen to know how he got those gold bricks?"
>>74228She stares
>>74229Iron looks at the horizon, clearly not intending on doing something stupider than before.
>>74229Sister Ash takes another step back
"..Ummmmm.. I'm not sure.."
Wait, are we in the same room?
>>74225"No Thanks sir. thats all i needed for today. have a good one"
Dark Star leaves and Heads back to blues bed to sleep off my gunshot wound
>>74235Who are you talking to then?
>>74236I actually have no idea. I thought it was Cauldron. Maybe I am inside after all.
tfw spaghetti clouds perception
Forgive me if I'm slow to reply. I'm in the middle of stuff, and the Internet is still a little wonky.
"A protest? Was this outside when I got here?" Silver steps outside to watch.
I'm going to need to go eat within half an hour.
>>74233When he goes back, it's something like 9AM. A pony stops him before he goes to the hallway
"Excuse me sir, may I see your ID and ask your business here?"
>>74236>>74230>>74231Did you think you could just arrive at the same building from from miles away at exactly the same time? They are speaking to the same NPC but at staggered times
>>74231"Teach him some manners if you can. He expressed sharp disappointment saying 'is that the way it is now' when I told him polygyny is frowned upon"
>>74238A group of protesters, many of whom are not pony, protest against brutal police action. They think massacre on the wharf last night was caused or instigated by police
>>74241Iron relents. "Have you seen the dragon, then?"
>>74243"She's inside"
Her expression is still not friendly
>>74241"So, which way did he go?"
>>74241"Im Dark Star, I finished a mission for Sea Breeze. im here to sleep off this gunshot wound im feeling really exhausted."
