Welcome back to thread number like 5 or 6 of Occupied Equestria, a My Little Pony RP based heavily upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and using the mechanics of D&D 3.5, and set in South-East Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foreign fascist power
Onyx is cleaning glasses, Spark has secured a contract to clear a quarry of Zombies for a real estate developer, Silver is eating meat, Ash and Iron are trying to raid what they believe to be a gangster's den, and Dark Star is holding hooves.

Iron is wondering when him and Ash will reach the destination to fight. "I will be ready by then." He makes sure that he did not put his other hoof's armor as he wants to feel the hit. "Do you want ponies to be alive or dead?"

And thus the facility is before her. It has many ups and downs in its roof, and 4 separate doors, one on each side and two in the center. As with the Darrien Cannery, the north side has a dock, and no ship masts can be seen over the roof of the building

She can here some sort of movement, deeper in the building
>>74713
She is not shot nor does she spring a trap as soon as she enters the door. It's dark... This hallway is illuminated. It goes off to the left as well as the right, with a door in front of them to what looks like a normal room. The hallway to the left extends 40 feet before turning, while the one to the right extends 30 feet

Spark is hit squarely in the chest by a huge set of bits, knocking him down
Rolling damage

It's getting dark this way, as there is no illumination. There is a door to the right, and it seems more down the hallway as it is straight. It is hard to see, and there are no visible enemies
>>74752
As he nears the corner, he hears a loud damned bang. It comes from the side and thus is not protected by the shield
>>74753
Maybe 50 bits for the set, including the band

Iron is hit by a shotgun blast that comes from beside him. The pellets just barely pierce through the side of his armor.
This happens 5 feet before he gets to the corner, in essentially the same position as where the Dog got shot at by the same method
>>74757
Well, equaling the AC is a penetration. If the shot had come from in front of him, it would not have beat the shield

Blue skies canters back quickly, but still enjoys the benefits of a government job

The air in the immediate area is silent. Further away - and I mean much further away, there is movement, but the shooters either don't exist, or are perfectly silent. Ash was not shot after passing the location where the dog was shot at

Four directions. Forwards, left, right, back. Which position does Iron take?
>>74793
The 15 feet is uneventful. She is now in a sort of Twilight zone, where she can't see the floor that well, although shinier objects would be visible
>>74804
And thus it is so
"I had a good time" Blue is walking towards the hotel

Down the hallway, 15ft from the door, (s)he can see in the dim light a red object and a beige object. He looks closer and can see that there is a shotgun shell affixed to a board, with a mouse trap. Even more closely, (s)he can see a fishing line strung across the hallway
>>74817
Seabreeze sees the two, and Blue Skies shows a badge that she kept in her folded wing to a security officer. To the room I take it?

"We've been working with the fruits of your success all morning, and we'll still be working on it for several days. Do you mind coming with me?"

If there are any traps down that hallway, then they must be either magical or rather well hidden, because he can't see any. The one he saw earlier, and the two that have been set off, were decidedly neither magical nor carefully hidden
>>74834
No shotgun sounds, nor do spikes fall down from the ceiling, nor falling rocks
>>74835
He laughs
"We'll talk about this in private"
He looks to Blue Skies
"Blue, your lunch break ended 15 minutes ago. Come with us"
Sea Breeze gets up, and tries to limp towards the hallway, using his magic to lift his rear prosthetic leg
>>74836
There is no one behind him. That he can see.

Iron notes this trap for later, ensuring he will not trigger it when they explore the corridor opposite of this one. "We seem to be safe from traps, for now. Hope we did not spook any remaining members that were stationed here," Iron whispers to Ash. "The fact that they rigged this place with them means we will find information, probably for finding your target."

She sighs, and lowers her head as she trots forward
Sea Breeze limps to a room that is 3 doors down, opens it, and lets the two in. Blue Skies takes a seat in the center, and Sea Breeze sits down in a chair across from where Dark Star would be sitting.
Sea Breeze says "This one here has been giving reports of what she saw and heard all morning. Well, much of the morning, but we have not heard from you.
We counted 15 dead ponies, 5 critically injured, one who died this morning and 4 in our custody, two live prisoners, 10 dead griffons - 9 of those from a sea crew - one critically injured griffon, 3 unconscious griffons who were waking up as our teams came in and taken prisoner, and one injured griffon crewgrif taken prisoner. And a Changeling with a severed head..."
>>74844
Yes. It is locked

Iron is a bit annoyed. "While I can break it down, at least the lock, I may be shot by that kind of trap again. Maybe I can hit it with my back hooves while you hold your shield with telekinesis. You can do that, right?"

The door splits right down the middle. No shotgun blast goes off, and there is light on the other side
>>74854
Blue Skies interrupts
"'Worker' is the term for a female Changeling"
Sea Breeze continues after that. "It looks like in terms of the objectives, the mission was a complete success. Both advisers have been killed, and 1500 rifles were intercepted and destroyed. We know Prywhen sent the Griffin, and obviously the Changeling adviser is suspected as being fro the Changeling Empire. We are still awaiting data on who sent the guns. We know now that they intend to strike in the south, although it appears that this opperation has delayed that plan significantly. We have not located all of their safehouses in the city.
The decision to send in the troops made by Blue Skies here has had, shall we say, mixed results. It allowed us to not only capture the live prisoners in time, but several that had been shot and... bandaged up? Anyways, they will be interrogated soon enough. Unfortunately the troop presence has caused suspicion among the Leftwing activists of the city, who think that we did it. But we made sure to send in reserves with, shall we say, 'unloyal' griffins, who will report back that the seen they saw included deaths caused in ways the Blackhooves don't do. I mean, two eyes stabbed out? Impalement? We are doing are best to try to avoid tipping off the Communists that we knew about their operation. Right now, we want all eyes on the Waterfront gang and on griffin shipping"

She finishes jabbing away what's left of it until the hole is big enough to trot through.
Then doggo peers his head in.

The conveyor belt has an L shape and sort of cuts the room in two, being 25 ft away from the wall closest to Ash, and the right wall. When Ash enters the room, she can see that there is a railing of a second floor above them over the wall where they came from. Against the far wall are a few crates, a few jugs, and cages. This room does not have obvious pony presence, and most of the floor is open, although there are some boxes closer to the center

Skies takes the complement, with a "D'aww"
"Well, it looks like you can be promoted to a full officer, if you so desire. We know the location of one safe house, and of some of the communists involved. We will be releasing some of the prisoners soon enough in a controlled manner, hoping they will feed back false information about how much we know, as well as following them. Unfortunately, these have seen you and your team. We will be gathering more information about the whereabouts of the communists, but we don't want to attack again in a similar manner so soon, less we tip off what we know
What sort of deployment would you like?"
>>74871
This varies. Some are empty. Some have jugs of who knows what. And some have Ammunition.

Doggo quickly wiffs up a smell of something dreadful, which hurts his sense of smell

These vary in size. A large one on the far side of the room could fit a Manticore. Most are smaller. Pony sized, or bunny sized. Black painted metal.

This conversation comes from two diamond dogs, one of whom is charcoal grey, and the other a white. The charcoal dog is angry. Yes, their voices are unusually high pitched for a creature of that size
"They want to say it was 'self-defense' or something. He had the weapon out first"
"That shopkeeper must have lied to the police"

A war? Between New Mareland and Skyfall? This is the first time he's heard about such a thing. He wonders how many of their forces are split between trying to keep order in East Equestria and fighting in this foreign war, and how much of an effect it's having on their security operations.

Iron hears two weapons above him set down from a ready position. This room, it turned out, had a railing on the second floor the same as the last room, and there were two ponies with rifles above them and to their left. There are 7 in the room in total.

From his basic background knowledge, he knows that virtually all decent forces are overseas on Griffonia, with native recruits and non-pony garrisons being the majority of the garrisons of East Equestria. There is almost nocreature to oppose a Changeling invasion, with New Mareland's greatest security being that an invasion of East Equestria would start a war the Changelings could not end without superior naval power. It is very bad for their security.

Nope. A tower shield is an exotic shield. Only Fighters and Blackguards get automatic profficiency.
I can still use it, but I would take a penalty to Melee attack rolls with my off hand. However, Sister Ash doesn't really use her forehooves for anything other than walking, or the occasional somatic component.

We triggered 2, and disarmed 1.
>>75067
Well, the GM said it's not carefully hidden. It's just a string that connects to a shotgun trigger, so a somewhat faithful comparison is arrows. Remember that the GM increased 1 extra hit chance because I triggered the trap instead of the dog. He compared it with daggers, which would have added +10. Maybe it is just a simple arrow trap turned gunpowdery.
Well, the GM said it's not carefully hidden. It's just a string that connects to a shotgun trigger, so a somewhat faithful comparison is arrows. Remember that the GM increased 1 extra hit chance because I triggered the trap instead of the dog. He compared it with daggers, which would have added +10. Maybe it is just a simple arrow trap turned gunpowdery.

Hmmmmmmmmm
If it had hit me, it would have taken out half my health, and I would have had to retreat to remove the bullets. Idk.
If the damage we're equivalent to daggers, then I'd consider each to be like a Fusillade of Darts.
Just wondering though.

I am still salty about the trap triggering just enough to bypass the fullplate. I should have bought some light armour too.

Muliple armor bonuses don't stack. Wearing two suits of armor won't help.
>salty
No need to be salty. Danger is good. Think of it this way: the more dangerous the trap, the more XP you get. It's only two ponies adventuring, so the CR is higher.

Don't get cocky. You're a Fighter, not a rogue/barbarian. Some traps will kill you, or otherwise use up half your resources (including hp).
I could really go for a level-up though...

Oh no. I'm not getting super cocky. I picked up the habit of spotting everything real quick with that trap. I have the tools necessary to take out many of these goons, just depends on the dice.
The health boost and extra feat would be nice. I agree with you.

Also, still confused as to when exactly Silver, Spark, and Dark Star arrived at the tavern, in addition to who arrived when.

Alright, I’ve thought about it and if 2 bars go to Onyx, 2 to Iron, 1 to Dark Star and 3 are the Devil’s Cut, that leaves 2 bars, both of which could go to Ash
I was hoping Brie would claim it... or Silver otherwise
>>75042
Guns are a fairly easy way, in addition doubling and tripling HP, to make a 1/2 CR threat into a real threat, as they have much bigger damage die. To make an enemy with a longsword as damaging as one with a revolver would require giving it 14 strength, which is well above the standard template

Hey, racially speaking, are changelings bisexual, as in they have the capacity to use both male and female sexual organs according to the changeling's needs?

If they're anything like doppelgangers,they could be genderless.
I think an average Changeling's reproductive orhans are vestigial and underdeveloped, since they're hive creatures.

I’ve been waiting like a week to talk about changelings, it just hasn’t come up in the story
Changelings are essentially the same as bees sexually. They have Drones, which are males, Workers, which are infertile females, and Queens, which are fertile females. Workers that are away from the presence of queens for long enough can become fertile to lay eggs that will necessarily become drones. (Same as bees). A Changeling’s shapeshifting will give it the genitals of the creature it has turned into. (At least if it has bothered to change with that much detail).
Every Changeling besides Chrystalis seen in the show at least until the very end of “to where and back again” and perhaps even “To change a Changeling” has an unambiguously male model, which I think implies that Drones are a sort of military force.

Iron huffs in annoyance. Iron follows suit as fast as his armor lets him, motioning the children to do so as well, as to not spearate the group too much. "You think that such a mare will hurt you for a god? She is too good to do that! She sacrificed two gold bars for your lives, so be grateful for her!"

Oi, I only sicked the wolf on her because the bullets wouldn't stop flying otherwise.
Besides, it wasn't the bite alone that killed her.
Also, I can't do sacrificial rituals because of alignment restrictions.
I wanted to be exalted anyway. If anything would have a cost, I'd rather pay for it in XP.
Sister Ash walks after the foals slowly, the colt wrapped around her leg taking a chunk out of her carrying capacity (I do have a doubled carrying capacity because I'm quadripedal, right?)
"Don't go hurt yourselves now. It's quite a long walk back." She chides patiently

Among Sacred Vows, Vow of Chastity is okay, because enchantments are a bitch and the trade-offs isn't that drastic. It's not that useful though, because the classes that would benefit already have decent will saves and don't really benefit from it as they would from other feats, thus, it's only really worth the slot if you take the Vow of Poverty for the bonuses, since having enough ascetic Vows might make it easier to qualify for Sainthood.
