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.

>>76324ill take summon natures ally 1
>>76326"Noted. I'll just follow you guys"
>>76325>>76326"I agree. Let us see if we cannot give this soldier a proper burial. You have shovel?" He levitates the rifle out, looking it over to see how much it has deteriorated. "Hmm. This looks like magic rifle. Luna Nova. My son told me about them when he served. Would have used one, himself, if he was not attached to his own Lavender rifle."
>>76329"No, but ill dig with my hooves if i have to."
>>76329>>76330The Real Estate mare catches up with the group
“This area will be bulldozed and paved. We can take equine remains for reinternment elsewhere”
>>76332"You'll make sure he gets to his next of kin?"
>>76332>>76335Silver looks at the mare. "Make sure he gets treated with respect and honor he deserves, as is befitting defenders of their homelands."
>>76336“We’ll send notice to the city council, who can contact the Wargraves commission”
[dreams of galloping through a field of flowers]
>>76339Alright, roll a perception check
>>76336"Should we head to the quarry?"
>>76338After a couple seconds of silence, he nods, as he'll have to be satisfied with that answer. He turns back to inspect the rifle in his telekinetic grasp further.
>>76342"Is there an entrance to it from here?"
>>76342He looks up from the rifle. "If we are going to enter from quarry. Otherwise, there is still other farm, if you think other end of cavern leads there."
>>76343The bolt is closed with a round in the chamber, and two in the internal magazine
>>76348Ash is awoken in the night by the sound of footsteps and a closing door
>>76347>>76346>>76344"We Could check out the other farm first if you guys want."
[1d20+5 = 23]>>76349"...... Mrrrrgh.. nnnnng.. Oh, bother, what is it this time?"
Spot
>>76352A shadow moves through the hallway and past her room
>>76349"Does this still work?" He pulls the bolt back to check for rust, as well as to see what shape the ammo is in.
>>76351"Yes, that is probably good idea."
>>76353Her door was open?
She gets up, thinking it was one of the nuns.
"Can I help you?"
>>76354The gun is a little rusted, and the ammo may be affected, but if you had to place a bet, this gun would fire
>>76355A window
Whoever it was has left the area. From the sound of a closing door, they must have gone out a door that exits to the garden
>>76356".. That's.. odd.."
She proceeds out the door with her dog following her, tying her shawl in the process.
>>76356He ejects the ammo to check on what kind it uses. "Anypony here want this rifle? After some cleaning and fresh ammo, it should make for fine weapon."
>>76359"uh...i cant handle rifles very well."
>>76360>>76362He grunts, and slings it over his shoulder. "Then I suppose I shall give it try, if it is alright with rest of you. Who knows, maybe it will turn out I am actually okay with it."
>>76357The door leads out to the garden. There are beds of basil and parsley before her. The wind is low and the moon is nigh full, illuminating the whole area with a dim light. Roll spot
>>76363Be mindful of the fixed bayonet
>>76368He can still smell creatures within 60 feet.
Did you all decide where you wanted to go?
>>76367She can see the black outline of what must be a foal, running through a set of fruit trees and to a forest
>>76370"Oh bother.." Sister Ash says with a sigh asshe takes off after the foal
>>76373The foal seems to have something in his or her mouth, and (s)he runs to what seems to be a path in the woods
>>76375>>76371The Curwhinny Farm now has nothing but an unlevel stone vase and a few bricks. There seems to be a basement, with both what would have been an opening to the basement from the first floor, and from the outside. Both entrances are open
>>76374Fast enough
>>76376"Well, there is but one place to search here..." Silver goes down into the basement, using the light from his magic to see around him.
>>76376She speeds up, running after the foal at full speed,Caleb following her.
She takes her Light stone from the bag she stashed it in.
>>76376Dark Star looks into the from the outside.
>>76379>>76377Dark Star turns his flash light on
>>76377The basement is... almost entirely clear. There are stone walls, and a roof held up by the few remaining timbers. It is fairly large, many feet across and wide. Much dirt and dead plant matter populates the floor, while walls have cobwebs. At the far end is... what looks like the entrance to a deeper cellar.
>>76378She’s going faster than the running foal, but he had a head start. He goes to a clearing where there seems to be a fire set up
>>76383Dark Star heads over to the Bigger Cellars door
>>76383>>76384Silver follows close behind, getting his hammer ready in case they get attacked.
>>76383".. Wait, what..?"
She sheaves her light stone and moves closer slowly
>>76385"get ready im gonna open the door. Attack anything that comes out."
>>76388He nods, preparing to do exactly as he said.
>>76384This leads down into another cellar. The new cellar is made of rounder stones, largely red, white, and brown, and smaller than the last. It looks like it would have been a decent enough wine or root cellar at one time. The floor is white, there what seems to be a slab in the center.
>>76386There seems to be a set fire, sort of like a camp fire. Behind the fire are three foals. The one in the center has a black hood on and is holding a rabbit that seems to have a hurt left paw. The foal Ash has been chasing can be seen better by the fire light. He is Ann orange brown earth pony colt Ash has seen before. In his maw is a 9 inch knife. He brings it up to the foal in the hood
[1d20+3 = 4][1d20-1 = -7]>>76390Spot: Silver makes his way slowly into the second cellar, keeping his head on a swivel for anything that looks off.
Listen: Similarly, he keeps his ears out for any unusual sounds.
>>76390"hmmmmm this seems strange."
>>76381"Spark come take a look at this!"
>>76391Is that a phantom to his left?
>>76390Sister Ash decides she'll have none of this. It's one thing I'd they want to enjoy pagsnistic rituals, but it's another thing to be up past 8:00.
She boldly trots forward into the camp.
"Just what on Earth are you three doing?"
>>76394He turns quickly to the left, ready for an ambush.
Onyx continues following the gang, but gets his halberd ready to strike.
>>76403Stallion gang, Stallion Gang Stallion Gang, my mare do sugar cane.
>>76398Oh wait. That was just an optical illusion
There is nothing in this room, besides a slab in the center that seems to be cracked open over a hole
>>76400Stallion gang bang?
I would kind of like that image with blue skies on the couch and all of the party stallions behind her>>76396The center fillie holds the rabbit in one hood and the knife in the other hoof,
“Nyeh wha chato’ngwl! Ryeh’thultal gwer’ sulth!”
When Ash speaks, she pushes down her hood, and Ash can see her face. It’s a cream colored Pegasus fillie Ash has seen before. She’s looks at Ash with very serious eyes, and a malign smile
“Hello...Ash? Is that what they call you?”
>>76397"go check out that slab."
>>76407".. Yes... I go by that name.."she replies, her narrowed eyes scanning all of the foals up and down.
"Now, what are you all doing up past your bedtimes? Don't you know missing sleep will stunt your growth?"
>>76407Uh, can I roll to wake up, see if I can intervene in this? I still have paranoia about the lack of security and stuff in character, and would want to ensure safety.
>>76410“We’re out here to protect overselves. Would you like to join us in our ritual?” She says with an enthusiasm in her voice and her eyes
The other three foals stand of to the sides
>>76412He can’t see anything
>>76411Hmmm
>>76407Silver mutters to himself. "Must be losing my damn mind..."
>>76413Using his magic, he levitates the slab out of the way of the hole.
[1d20-2 = 0]>>76413Onyx spot checks the slab
>>76415You used the blind eye my friend.
I just have the shittiest luck with dice rolls.
>>76422Silver discovers, somewhat to his surprise, that the slab is relatively light. Whenn he moves it, he sees steps leading into a tunnel passage. The steps are stone and normally spaced, and the passage is 4 feet wide and carved into rock with vaulted ceiling
[1d20+3 = 18]>>76424With this luck? Ok...
I cast Detect Magic again.
>>76413I guess you have something planned then? I will wait for the signal
If I can catch it...>>76425Don't worry, my guy, Skies is off the menu for me, since, you know, you 'claimed' herTotally bang her if I was any other character tho >>76413The ex-Witch is not amused.
"Protect yourselves? With a Conjuration?"
She jestures to the rabbit
"You're not even doing it right. That rabbit is injured. And look, you didn't take the time to draw a proper magick circle. Did you only read this in a book on e and think you could try it out yourselves without any risk?"
>>76426"Huh...that was...odd." He readies his hammer. "Okay, I will take point. Everypony, follow me." With that, he makes his way down the tunnel at a cautious pace.
>>76431"It was nothing. Nothing to worry about." He sounds annoyed with himself.
>>76429The fillie laughs
“Hahaha, it is
you who could use an education it seems.”
She holds up the rabbit
“Nyeh! Ryehth ngwl rthel ngow!”
With this last empasioned shout, she spits the rabbit’s throat, and pokes it upon a carefully positioned rock
>>76427Lingering remnants of ancient magic... but no spells on anything within a 60 foot radius
>>76425What if she doesn’t want to be claimed?>>76430A dark tunnel, and it goes on an unknown distance
[1d20+6 = 13]>>76433Rolling knowledge (religion) to see if this silly filly is in fact following the proper steps for ritualistic sacrifice.
>>76426>>76426>>76433Dark Star pulls out Ride the lightnimg
>>76433>Rape? >>76433"This is definitely the right place. I am getting signs of ancient magic."
>>76433Sister Ash let's out a disgruntled snort.
"8th graders..."
>>76433"It is times like these where I am thankful for my unicorn magic." He follows the tunnel, still using the light from his horn as a guide.
>>76435She seems to be praying to a different god than any known in Zebrica. She does indeed seem to be following.... something. But it isn’t Zebrican and it isn’t Equestrian
[1d20+9 = 12]>>76439Also, Spellcraft check to see what she's trying to do.
>>76440Dark Star follows with his flash light
>>76438A new wind starts blowing. Cold and from
The east. The chanting grows louder as the other three join in
>>76440Now here’s a question. How far and how bright?
>>76446That sounds like it requires concentration.
Can I attempt to interrupt?
>>76450Dark Star can see forward at least 20 feet, Silver’s horn lights in all directions, but not as far forward
There’s that smell again
[1d20+6 = 11][1d20+6 = 20]>>76449"... Why you little..! Cease this at once!"
Sister Ash attempts a telekinetic Bull Rush on the silly filly who stabbed the rabbit to push her away from the ring (gently), her dog meanwhile attempts to trip up another.
>>76454Those were touch attack, with flanking (no Dex).
>>76452>>76453Silver nods, and keeps his voice low. "We must be coming up on the...'subjects'...the necromancer used. If you do not have strong stomachs, avert your eyes now. This will not be pretty."
>>76397>>76456>>76421Dark Star pulls out his other pistol
"Im Ready. What about you 2?"
[1d20+3 = 8]>>76454”RAAAAAAAAAH!”
The Pegasus is fucking determined. She uses her wings in her struggle
>>76459Good noodlearms she has. Keep at it, Ash!
[1d20+10 = 29]>>76459Sister Ash pushes back, her horn blazing
>Tfw size advantage still applies to telekinesis >>76454>>76459She fails, and writhes in the telekinetic grasp.
A pair of red eyes glows in the forest
>>76458First object in the tunnel. 60 feet in. Looks like a corpse
>>76464>A pair of red eyesFucking 8th graders! Now I gotta defend them from whatever the fuck they just conjured.
>Using an injured sacrifice>Not drawing a magick circle >>76464Silver pushes on slowly, keeping an eye on the corpse to make sure it
stays dead.
[1d20+5 = 13]>>76464Spot check to see what the fuck just came out
[1d20+5 = 17]>>76468Also rolling for the dog, because why not?
>>76469>>76468Also, more importantly, how far away is it in feet?
The suspense is killing me.
>>76468A red-eyed dog of purest black breathes fire and stares down Ash. 50 ft away
“NYELETHL’THAGAHN!”
The cream fillie cries. And with this command, the dog gives an infernal bay
>>76467It seems to stay dead, laying on the ground
>>76473As he gets close, Silver takes a quick look at the body to see who it was.
>>76473Fug. I was about to fall Asleep.
"A hellhound? What'd you call a hellhound for?"
Sister Ash begins fighting defensively, her dog beside her
>>76477Silver whispers back. "Possibly, unless there is necromancer nearby to animate it. Or...if there is..." He shakes his head clear of the thought in his head. "No, it could not be. They are only in Magehold, of course."
[3d10 = 16]>>76478Also, call lightning on the hellbeast
Reflex half
>>76479"hit it with your sword."
>>76480Can I send Caleb to charge it this round?
>>76483Ah.>>76482"It is too cramped to draw my sword. All I have for now is hammer."
[1d20+5 = 13]>>76475Equestrian Dehenve Force Unicorn, a rifle thrown forward, as well as a flashlight
>>76480He moves
>>76487Is that a hit on the lightning?
>>76488Lightning is automatic hit. Reflex halves the damage.
>>76491Oh. So if the roll was higher than 16, he would have taken 8 damage instead?
>>76493Oh, it's a good thing you'll replenish spells soon enough.
>>76487"This does not bode well..." He pushes forward, afraid now that whoever this necromancer is has been desecrating the bodies of Equestria's valiant defenders...and that they are still here.
[1d20+5 = 8]>>76489It gives off another infernal howl, and the fillie another black command
It charges. Roll initiative
>>76486"poke him with the hammer."
>>76499He sighs, and pokes the corpse as he passes with his hammer.
>>76497Ash, Fido, Caleb
>>76495Not going to inspect? Alright
[3d10 = 24]>>76501Ash hitsit with a second bolt of lightning; smoke trailing from the corners of her eyes, that have begun to glow.
"Begone beast!"
Reflex 16 for half
>>76501Dark Star looks at his dog tags.
My body is shutting down...
>>76503A second bolt cracks, and Fido disappears to whence he came
“You’re lucky we couldn’t get the rest of them!” Says the angry fillie
>>76505The dog tag, interestingly, seems to be on a necklace cut off. The sane with the left helmet strap. Dog tag reads “Saccharine Spoon. Private First Class C Company 105th Infabtry Division. Birth date 10/23/989”
>>76508>>76505Silver turns back to Star. "Did you find anything interesting?"
>>76509"He was EDF as well. Saccharine Spoon. Private First Class C Company 105th Infabtry Division. Birth date 10/23/989”
>>76510"I saw from uniform. Looks about as decayed as other body we found to you?"
>>76510He has a bandage on him for some sort of wound on the shoulder. Perhaps a gunshot, perhaps shrapnel. There are large slashes down his belly, his uniform, and his left jaw, as well as a pool of rusted black on the floor.
>>76511"Yea i Dont like the implications of this."
>>76512>>76513He nods. "I wholeheartedly agree. Let us hope other bodies we find are not also soldiers."
>>76517
What kind of gun is it?
>>76518Sane model as the other. Bolt Action, Equestrian.
>>76517
Getting kinda tired, there?
>>76520Dark star picks it up and gives it to Silver
>>76521I'll take it as a sign to leave for the time being. Night all.
>>76522He takes a look at it to see if it's in any better shape than the one he already has.
>>76521Fuck off, I’m phone posting while busy
>>76525Dark Star continues down the hallway.
>>76527Silver keeps in front of him, on the lookout for any more corpses.
>>76527>>76528Spark sticks right behind them.
