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..
