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.

>>76019Trim Fit: "We have special items for customers with... 'special needs.' But weapons are not among our inventory"
>>76020Silver furrows his brows at Trim Fit, taking the phrase the wrong way.
>>76021He stands stoically and unaffected
>>76022"...I will assume you are not insulting my intelligence and instead that I simply do not understand phrase."
But yeah, I have no idea what Trim Fit meant by "special items".
>>76024Cause your horn is flaccid.
>>76025>9 int gang gangBut you know what ISN'T flaccid?
>>76027...To be honest, I don't know what isn't flaccid. I'm just making this shit up as I go along.
>>76028What was your strength again? I think your hooves are decent looking.
Can't compare to Iron's big buff hooves though >>7602914 after racial penalties. If I can switch ability scores then I'd like to switch Silver's strength and dexterity so he can have 15.
>>76030I would say stick with it. Having some dex unlocks some cool feats.
>>76031Yeah, but his current 17 dex would just drop by one to 16. I'm not sure there's anything that Silver would lose out on from that.
I suggest looking a little into it to see if it's viable or better. Not sure if the change in stats will make a positive diference.
>>76033As far as I can tell, there's no real difference between having 17 dex and having 16 dex. Meanwhile, going from 14 to 15 strength would add 25 pounds to Silver's max carrying capacity.
Also: is there a way to improve a character's ability scores without having to take the Great Ability feats?
>>76034Plus strength is pretty damn important to Fighters, more so than even dex.
...Did everyone fall asleep?
>>76014So, anyways, until I figure out what "special items" Trim Fit has in stock, I guess I'm going for whatever the WWII equivalent of a tower shield is and a metal reinforced flak jacket (breastplate).
>>76038I was just wondering so I didn't wait around by myself like a fool.
>>76039I would do the same if I were you.
>>76023“You assume correctly. We sell stallion’s apparel, and for most, that means business suits, tuxedos and the like. But a few with more... shall we say, ‘dangerous’ professions require suits made of harder material than silk, cotton, or wool”
>>76041This he understands. "I was browsing some of that myself while my friend was doing his shopping earlier."
I CAN POST NORMALLY FROM THIS NEW PHONE!
>>76037It is so
>>76042“Did you find anything you like?”
>>76043He looks back over at the flak jackets he was looking at earlier. "I saw one of those, but reinforced with metal. Looked strong, , easy to move in, and lighter than my current armor. And I believe I also saw something that looked like large shield, almost like old tower shield from long ago. Not normally my thing, but...well, these times are much different from before. Might prove to be useful."
>>76045Breast plate and tower shield?
>>76047Yup.>>76046Silver turns away from his purchase towards Star. "Ah, you are back!"
I'll be back in a short few minutes. Gonna eat.
>>76048"yea i ran into a communist."
>>76036I am very tired.
My character is asleep though.
>>76050"You ran into communist? Where did you do that?"
>>76051He hands over the Bits in three pouches: two with 100 each tied off with white rope, and one with 50 tied off with yellow rope.
[1d20+3 = 10]>>76057Sense Motive: "..." He stares very intensely at Dark Star, trying to determine if it was Black Hooves business, or if he actually managed to do something in the time he was gone to land himself in jail.
>>76059Pulling up nothing, Silver's left with a slight sense of unease. "...Okay then..."
>>76060"i also got a date after we kill the monsters."
happy horse noises
>>76061"So, you found yourself some...ugh, what did they use to call...ah, right, 'special somepony'?"
>>76061>>76062Iron smiles in his sleep, knowing what he did.
>>76062"Yes shes the most wonderful pony ive met."
>>76064Silver smiles. "I wish you best of luck with this mare, my friend. Love is truly wonderful thing. If I could go through it all again, I would do so in heartbeat."
>>76064Jeez, what took you so long? Were you having wet dreams already?
>>76065"Thank you silver. thats nice of you? did you want me to pay half on your armor?"
>>76068"If that is what you want, I will not stop you. But I am fine if you do not."
>>76070"It was 250 Bits, he said."
>>76073"Oh, well thank you." He takes the paper notes Star hands him, looking them over. They're something he hasn't really seen much of. "...So, these are what ponies use as Bits now? Seems interesting."
>>76074"Yea this is the first time ive ever had these. they seem strange but useful."
>>76075"Certainly lighter, I will give them that. I guess they really did find way to turn paper into gold." He folds the notes up and puts them in a pocket on his fatigues. "Anyways, would you mind helping me with taking off this armor, so I can try on new armor?
>>76076"yea sure,no problem. wow this armor looks like its seen some fights."
>>76077"It has served me well, even since war and beyond." With Star's help, he takes off his heavy metal cuirass, and puts on the reinforced flak jacket. "Hmm...it feels sturdy. And yet it is much lighter than old armor." He moves around a bit to get a feel for wearing it. "Yes. I do not feel so weighed down. Like I can move freely. Is this what these 'flak jackets' have always been like?"
>>76078sorry anon i gotta sleep"The technology has recently got better for them in the last 15-20 years."
>>76079It's fine. Sleep well!Silver looks like he feels 20 years younger. "And here I thought they were just thick cloth and fluff."
Is anyone here at the current time?
>>76081Yup. I was going to play some Victoria 2 if no one else was on.
>>76082You should go ahead. Dark Star is not showing up soon enough and the GM's time schedule is a mystery. Also Onyx is becoming Brie 2.0
>>76083I'm starting to think that we'll end up carrying an unconscious Onyx through the entire mission.
Anyways, I'll try to check up on the thread every so often, so I don't miss anything.
>>76084I'll fill you in if something important happens.
>>76085Thanks. Now, onto kicking the USA's ass as a nation of colorful pastel ponies.
>>76087Hey GM, if the player controlling Onyx doesn't arrive when the sidequest/combat starts, what will happen to him?
>>76088His character will get >raped.
>>76089It would be funny that the enemy uses Onyx as a statue until the player comes back, then he has the ultimate advantage.
>>76092I am, too, but don't have much to add. Only worry that Onyx will be Brie 2.0 again.
>>76092I am here, but exclusively on phone because WiFi is out
>>76092>>76093>>76095>>76097Damn, what a streak! Now Sparkboi will appear too, right?
I've lost a lot of hope that Onyx will come back >>76100Are you guys PMing eachother already?
>>76101Lets just say ive known him for awhile.
>>76106>>76105>>76104>>76103Stop trying to take credit for my character damn it.
Also, hi. I'm back.
>>76109Cool. I hope GM can capitulate on your presence. Don't want you to appear for nothing. At least get something from the tailor that you were sent to through the taxi's trunk.
Yes, they put you inside a trunk of a taxi >>76110I've been in worse situations tbh.....
Anyway, a tailor you say?
>>76109By the way, did you exchange the gold bricks you have for actual money? I suggest you do.
>>76111It's basically a formality. You are at a light to medium armor shop. The heavier options are not here.
>>76112Done, did, and out of the way.
>>76113Elephant trunk? Car trunk? Clothes trunk?
>>76114Some armor is better than no armor. But I do have that jacket so I think I'm good.
>>76115If you said before was true, then some medium armor should increase your AC a little more. Yes, you got lucky at the docks by all those bad rolls by the goons, but that doesn't happen always. Also, I think they sell shields for further AC increase.
>>76118>>76116I appreciate the concern, but I'll stick with the jacket until after I haven't been kidnapped.
I really want some scale mail tho...>>76117Can I leave the trunk?
>>76119I'm pretty sure if you're in the cab, then you are somewhere else entierly. Don't take Star's words to heart, you are at the tailor since Silver pulled you out.
