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.

>>74998"Let them go." Sister Ash replies sternly
"I would prefer to see it that they leave safely before I finish." She says, rumaging through her sack
"Now tell me. Just how much did those poor sister at Said Prancais owe you?"
>>75002>>74998Iron stands by the door, awaiting the children to follow. "You do not need to follow those ponies' orders, come on." Iron beckons the children again.
>>75003>18000 bitsWhat bullshit.>>75004Sister Ash awaits for all of the children to cross the threshold before she replies.
>>75004One pony places a hoof on the shoulder of a foal
"You have no more reason to trust them than you do us. Do you think that someone who has to hide behind so much steel has faith in his agreeability?"
>>75006"I could say the same to your guns." Iron looks defiant. "I say you let the children go and we can talk about payment. After all, she will be here still, and I do not plan to do sacrifices."
>>75005Do you think they would place a low value on children?
The chances of these ponies just handing over the children are between zero and zero. If any feel inclined to run over, they are paused, and most do not attempt it.
Except the sixth foal. This one runs over to Ash and demands to be hugged
>>75007"We don't believe you"
>>75009This pony wants more hugs
>>75008Even if I threaten them to do it? If I successfully intimidate every single pony in this room, do I win this?
>>75012Yes to the first question or the second?
>>75008"I will be sure to repay you." Ash says, through gritted teeth
"But not a moment before the last foal steps past that threshold."
>>75010*Gives poner generous helping of hugs*
>>75014"If you weren't planning on trying to kill us before they left, then why would you demand they left first?"
>>75013If you intimidate all of them you win
>>75014>>75016Iron awaits the moment Ash is done with negotiations to do what he does best
in terms of rank ability: Intimidate every single pony.
>>75018If the intent is to make them release the children, he need only intimidate the 5 on the floor
>>75016"Ifi had intended to attack you. I would have done so before you brought them out."
>>75020I guess I can flex a bit and go all in on this and get them for free if I try it. If it doesn't work, a battle starts anyways.
>>75021"What do you look to offer?"
>>75023Wew, don't just go for it. This is dice territory here. Luck will decide the winner here.
>>75024"What you're owed." She says, producing the two gold bars
"What you weighed, for the price of six foals."
Alright, I need to go to sleep. I will be travelling pretty much all of tomorrow, so do not expect consistent responses
>>75029REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Suspense!
>>75014The foal wants more hugs
>>75030Okay, I am questioning the "2 bars" thing. I had it as Ash getting 1 bar. I mean, I guess she could have?
>>75033I could have sworn....
Idk, I'll deal with this in the morning.
*Hugs poner affectionately*
>>75034>>75033OK, I'll sign off for now. Tomorrow, I'll roll for intimidate.
>>75019"not much" he leans in and whispers "im an officer now! i got accepted because we pulled off the mission. and you remember Blue Skies? she and i bucked last night. i think im in love."
>>75040So, if they don't let go of the children after that display of monetary power, I will intimidate them to do it. Right?
>>75041I guess so.. I kind of wanted to at least get the kids out of the room though, lest bullets start flying.
..Fucking gunz.. I think I'm turning into a liberal
kermits sudoku
>>75042>spoilerPic related is me.
Alright, plan is settled. Prepare for the bullets to start flying anyways.
>>75043That's why a brought the shield, despite not being profficient in it.
>>75045Nope. 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.
>>75046Oh. So I don't get a -4 penalty to my attacks then?
>>75048What is the standard penalty then?
>>75049-2 to attack rolls, while guarding.
>>75050Cool. Thanks, now I feel a lot more confident on future rolls.
>that feel when you find some of the foals, but in doing so reopen 3 other sidequests
It's going to take a while to get all these foals back.. I still need to find Ollie too..
>>75052I guess this is our downtime. Should give the GM a lot of time to think up another big quest.
>>75053I guess it was to be expected that they wouldn't have all been in the same place.
Also, no way these low-life NPCs collectively had 18000 gp to give away (unless bits are silver, idk). There had to be someone else involved in the matter.
>>75054Well, they did say they were part of a prolific gang instead of some nobodies without group affiliation. Gangs usually have a little more worth than just these guys.
>>75036“Wow. That’s pretty impressive. I’m really happy for you.”
I look toward Onyx, passed out on the bar.
“I was about to get our sleepy brute bartender here to help me with a monster problem. Are you too busy to join us?”
I’m going to be mobile posting and pretty busy today. Sorry if I don’t respond quickly. >>75054I wonder who could be behind so many bits
>>75057Obviously (((someone))) who'd be the most interested in pony-trafficking.
He really wasn't joking when he said he would not respond for this day.
>>75063What was that gif you probably posted? I saw it for a bit then dissapeared.
>>75064This.
I didn't mean to post it here, so I deleted it.
>>75065Oh. It's cute. Sorry for the intrusion.
What do you think the CR is for a shotgun trap? Like, a Wyvern arrow trap?
We triggered 2, and disarmed 1.
I might be on later, probably sometime after 7, in case anyone is wondering.
I'm fucking tired.
Also, still confused as to when exactly Silver, Spark, and Dark Star arrived at the tavern, in addition to who arrived when.
>>75075Spark
Silver
Star
Silver(?)
I think that's the order in which everyone came to the bar.
>>75034Alright, 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>>75042Guns 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
>>75075Onyx and Spark were already there, then Dark Star and Silver arrive. All 4 are at a bar.
>>75068The spring shotgun trap that has been pretty commonly used by Americans to secure abandoned buildings, so much so that states have had to ban it specifically
>>75077Well, I only would have picked up the bars for the sake of freeing the foals, or donating them.
Sister Ash drops the two bars out of her wrags before her.
"Do we have a deal?" She implores, coldly
>>75078The Stallion looks at the bars from a sort of distance, and then says
“Yes, two gold bars will cover all of the expenses. Normally we’d value these foals at much more, but, considering...” He is looking specifically at the foal attacking Ash. “I think we will take a loss on this.”
“You two, go over to them.” Two female foals are sent over towards Iron.
>>75034The colt in Ash’s legs wants even more affection
>>75079"Very well then." She says, relieved, but doing a poor job of hiding her disgust in the matter
".. Now that that's settled.. would you so kindly tell me who these two 'mademares' you referred to were?" She inquires, tilting her head clockwise
>even more affectionAsk and he shall receive.
*Tickles poner with telekinesis*
>>75080>Smoke has settled down slightly>>75076She gestures to Iron to lead the other foals out of the room.
>>75081Iron nods. "Come on, children. We shall go outside." Iron starts heading out of the door and stops at the door, expecting the children to follow him.
>>75080The Stallion comes and picks up the two gold bars. “Send them over.” And the three remaining foals are sent over towards Iron.
“One is named Willowbrooks. If you want to find her, go to an establishment called Windywillows on East Sixth. The other is named Saintgallop. You may find him along the streets of Wasthaven if you ask around.”
The colt giggles, and responds with some sort of magical something. He wants more.
>>75083"... And whatever happened to the sister that was abducted..?"
>>75084“Your sister was adbducted?” He sssms to not understand
>>75082>>75081The foals leave the room as directed by Iron. Except for the sixth colt, who remains on Ash
“That one will need to be restrained.” Says the Stallion
>>75084>>75085Iron looks at Ash. "Do I need to take active measures to take the colt or is it alright for him to stay with you?"
>>75085".. Yes.." she says
"She was taken from the orphanage not long after the goals were."
>>75086"I can handle him for now." Sister replies
[1d20 = 5]>>75087Iron nods and leads the children out of the room to outside, always looking for any traps along the way. Rolling spot to determine his success in detecting them.
>>75088Just go back the same way we came: that route is clear.
>>75088>>75089Guess he can do that. It's just a precaution.
>>75092I’m back. Is your character in the bar right now?
>>75095I think my character is travelling through limbo to reach his destination.
>>75097Dark Star, Silver, Spark Shimmer, Ash and Onyx are floating in limbo, unable to see eachother. Brie is a pile of bones next to a bag of mangos. Dark Star has the bliss face when ejaculating from all that hoofholding, Silver is eating raw elk like the cannibal he is, Spark is reading a book and Onyx is throwing deadly bit sacks to people. Iron is confessing feelings of attraction to every mare he is acquaintanced and promptly gets slapped for it and Ash is coddling every foal in the world while burning every steel beam around her.
>Living the dream >>75100Tipsy is inside the book.
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?
>>75102If 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.
>>75094He's outside at the rear of the tavern, having a smoke. Then yeah, he'll head into the bar.
>>75103In other words, they don't work as reproductive organs and they are very small/thin for sexual encounters, right?
