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.

Actually, fuck it.
Sister Ash goes all the way back to her campsite and waits for Iron there.
>>74294"well, he got a job in the iron mines and..... i stole things so i could eat so he wouldnt have to spend his small ammount of bits on feeding me."
>>74294I thought I did already. What? Why do these mares want apologies so explicit? Godamn.
>>74298Iron will be kind of stuck there for a few minutes. Don't move too far after that, ok?
>>74299"I see. How'd you come about these big wads of cash you are tossing around now?"
>>74304Having a small mental breakdown, give him some time.
>>74301You should try with a real female
>>74303"it was all the money my brother was able to make. he left it to me before he fought for the black hooves in the war. i dont think this was all from his mining job, i think he might have been doing something illegal."

Whatever.
Rolling survival to set up a hut.
>>74308"An equestrian fought for the Blackhooves? Now that's new. I take it he didn't come back for his money"
[1d20 = 5]>>74294Iron, after a few minutes of deep breathing, now feels composed enough to face Ash and not fuck up. Noting that she has not come to pick him up yet, he decides to meet up where they were supposed to: at the forest. He walks outside the tavern and tries to head out to the forest camp she set up, trying to go south all the way, like Ash said. Rolling luck to see if he reaches the camp set up before because this crisscross of bullshit might be averted by this.
>>74307>>74310Maybe he will >>74312Uh, it's better than a one, honestly.
>>74312Not quite. As he walks out, a voice behind says "Do you have anything to say to me?"
>>74311"he Had a pen pal in New Mareland, she was in the Party would send him books, and pamphlets, and news papers. i think her name was Hoof.. Hoof something. and he never made it back, i was waiting for him for 2 days before i had realized that... he was never coming home."
>>74316Iron turns around to see who said that.
"Am I even heading the right way?" Silver stops, pulling out his map to check that he's actually heading for the eastern Seaport.
>>74319That's exactly where he just was
>>74318Well who else?
>>74317"We should have pretty good records to see what became of him"
>>74320"I would like to know if we could find out."
DarkStar puts his hoof on hers
"And uh thanks for talking with me about it, i feel a little better about it."
>>74320"I am. Neat." He looks around at the buildings in this part of town, being unfamiliar with the area.
>>74327Well, Spark has already lost track of Silver because he's gone on an adventure, so...
>>74323She smiles, warmly
"It's good to have somepony to talk to. They'll have a list of names. We can find out"
>>74329"Well, since i told you so much about me, tell me a little about yourself."
>>74328Well... I guess I will hang around the hall then.
>>74329I go inside the city hall and look around.
>>74320Iron is really not feeling guilty. "I already said what I meant. I have no idea what you want from me now." Iron looks sternly at Cauldron. "I never said anything that made you look less than what you are, which is a mare and a great one at that. Not a whore, not a slut, not a tramp, none of those are applicable to you. I told you are better than other mares by virtue alone and I told you that the concept of coitus is more important than what you believe it means, which is a lot more than fucking you and leaving you on the side of the road while I move on from you. What else am I supposed to say?"
[shaman noises]
*Sweeps hutt*
>>74334Oh shit, didn't notice that.
>>74332"I guess that is enough." She smiles
"If you want work, come back. If you want special potions that do special things, or just good food, go to 35 Elk street
>>74330>>74331>>74333I'll get to all of you>>74335Would this happen to be the Hutt Dynasty that once controlled a substantial portion of the known galaxy?
[1d20 = 14]>>74338"Noted." He walks away from Cauldron, heading towards the campsite Iron and Ash were before.
Rolling luck to see if he finds Ash without much fuss of direction.
>>74330"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. The government changed later that year, and the old social order based on apartness was dismantled. I lived in another place for some years, before that place fell to Communists. The Baltimare governate under Halcyon shores let me in here, and I try to make this my tribe to fight for and defend"
>>74333The district has warhouses by the water, and industry near the water as well. There are large amounts of multi-family apartments and crowded stores. It is a lower class area, mostly, especially compared to the west, and fairly industrial
>>74331The city hall is described in
>>74054 >>74056 >>74058 >>74060 >>74063 >>74065 >>74067 >>74343All of the industry is an unfamiliar landscape to him. As he heads further into the area to look for anypony who might be a lead into this "Waterfront Gang", half of his time is spent gawking at all the smokestacks and industrial architecture.
>>74343I go left I suppose and listen in on conversations, to get a clue of what goes on in these departments and offices.

Rolling to gather fruit.
