This RPG is set in the land of Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foriegn fascist nation. It is based in large part on the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&D 3.5 mechanics
4 of the group have taken a job to clear a site of a future real estate development of undead. They seem to have stumbled upon a centuries old evil long forgotten by Equestria. Meanwhile, Ash has discovered foals from the order of Saint Prancis orphanage practicing dark magic and sacrifices in the woods, while Iron is having not-so-pleasant dreams

>>76962Spark did respond to the roll call, so he should still be here.
>>76966Good, better than the lich.
Alright, so current initiative order is:
Dark Star
Silver
Spark
The Sargent
>>76961"Don't change the subject, young lady. I'll have you know that when I perform my practices, I actually know what I'm doing." She is now holding back her fury, her eyes visibly glowing
Caleb as well bales in disapproval before laying down on the floor.
"And I know better than to go around cohorting with evil spirits. Any sort of evil spirits that accept a measly wounded rabbit as a 'sacrifice' are bound to have ulterior motives in the matter: you should all hope that you're not already cursed!" She exclaims, pointing at each of them
"Now spit it out. What were you planning to do with that monster?"
>>76969It got a pretty large description for a single zombie tho.
>>76967If it were a lich, you'd all be dead and reanimated by now.
>>76970Rosemary: "Consorting with evil spirits? What is this?"
Fillie: "Speaking of being the consort of evil, who is that gangster you brought along?"
>>76971This
>>76972Also this
>>76972I guess that's true. Still, he seems to be the main baddie in this situation.
[1d20+5 = 17]>>76968Dark Star shoots at sarge with ride the lightning
>>76975The Sargent's skin is pretty tough, it seems to bounce off
>>76973Sister Ash rear and stamps her forehooves into the floor
"Answer the question, young Missy!"
>>76974Might be an advanced Ghast or a Wight, or some other kind of higher CR undead creature.
>>76979If you don't want to use s move action, just charge.
>>76977For the first time since they have been here Dark Star looks worried maybe even afraid.
>>76978AC is higher than 17! Use touch attacks if possible to bypass it!
>>76983It's a special property of an attack which bypasses armor class. Mostly magic shooty stuff, I think
>>76983For you, grapples and trips.
>>76978"You want to know? Really? Well I will tell you"
She looks at Rosemary. Not Ash. Rosemary. She narrows her eyes
"You
sold us to those monsters. Do you even know what happened to half of us? Do you know what happened to me? Did you know that the little unicorn was almost starved to death?
How could you"
She looks back to Ash, and speaks now to her. "My father trusted in the power of Good and Harmony. He told me we would triumph because we were good. When he was killed, they sent me here to these nuns, and they told us that they were good. And the nuns told us that Celestia would win because she was good. And they all told all of us, Lily Breeze, Orchid Blossum..." She is crying now "That the Changelings and the Fascists were evil. Well guess who is still alive! Guess who is still free! If being good means selling children to monsters and being a slave... or dead... Then I chose EVIL!"
>>76979No. It can be hit only by means of a move action. Distance 20 ft
>>76981I think you are underselling your attack bonus. Although even if it is higher, I think you still would not have landed a hit >>76986I should slap this little shit, but I won't.
Sister Ash just stands there fuming (literally) for several moments, not even sure where to start as she dangles the silly filly in the air with her magick
".. How foolishly shortsighted...!" she gasps
She turns to Sister Rosemary with an awkward glance, still unsure how to respond
>>76987Just charge in and have it to pieces. It's not invincible.
>>76988Sister Rosemary looks back at Ash. Her expression is of awkward horror. She looks at Ash as if the Fillie's speech shut her the hell up
>>76991>No responseThanks for the help, Sis...
Sister Ash takes a deep breath, as the smoke coming from beneath her shawl ceases abruptly.
".. You've been dreadfully misguided.." she begins.
>>76992Sister Rosemary adds, finally finding an argument
"you can thank Ash here for your freedom, and that you are still alive. And she is Good"
>>76992She picks up the filly and levitates her so close that they can feel each other's breath.
"For starters, nopony sold you." She state boldly
[1d20+9 = 21]>>76989>INB4: Silver dies here.>>76990Oh boy, I sure am ready to die."RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHH!" An intense rage fills Silver's entire being at the sight of the defiled pony. He charges straight for it, aiming a blow from his hammer right at the creature's head to try to put it out of its misery.
>>76995I seriously hope this guy has low HP at least.
>>76996>>76997No way amonster that got a whole paragraph to describe it is going to go down in one hit.
>>76994The fillie spreads her wings, presumably to try to steer herself in the air. She retains her trademark look
"
They did"
>>76995That smell. So that's where it was coming from
Roll a Fortitude save
>>76997That doesn't sound too bad for HP, just two hammer and revolver hits should do it. If it's AC though, you're fucked hard.
>>76997If it's any compensation, defeating a CR 3 monster by yourself is worth a lot of XP.
>Tfw just killed a hellhound >>77001Speaking of, will the GM tells us we won XP when certain actions are done?
>>76999"No, they didn't." Sister Ash replies sternly
"You were kidnapped, by gangsters. Everyponyhere has been worried sick for you." She continues
[1d8+3 = 7]>>77003"Is that what they told you?"
She looks angry
>>77005He withstands the stench, and the hammer cracks a dent in the Helmet of the Army of Harmony
>>77005>>77007A shrieking "RYAAH!" comes from the creature's throat, as the hammer has harmed it
>>77008Ok, seems it has fullplate as armor, so 18 is the sweetspot where you can hit the beast.
>>77009GM decides that.
>>77007"It is, and I believe them." Sister Ash replies sternly
"Everyone in this Abby has been disturbed by the events of these past few weeks, and by the looks of it, you have as well." She says, looking the filly
>>77010I know...
>>77011Wait, there's 4 of you? Then why are you so worried you're going to die?
>>77014First shot is a miss, that's all. Also Onyx's player isn't here. Only Dark, Spark, and Silver are fighting.
>>77012She looks disturbed alright
"I will not be a slave, food, or a sacrifice"
[1d20 = 4]>>77007I fire a shot at this monster... hopefully.
>>77017Nice me.me
We'll get them next time.
>>77016"Don't you even get me started on sacrificesyoung lady!" Sister Ash growls, lifting the bloody, cloth-wrapped knife
>R.I.P. Mr. Bun Bun"Who was it that taught you that little pathetic excuse for a conjuration back there? Did you think you'd feel safer with a few diabolical canines running around wreaking havock?"
So I am wondering if we should wait until we have Onyx for the next attack, or if the Sargent should make his move
>>77022"THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT!" Sister Ash shouts, losing her composure for a moment
"There was no way you had goodintentions summoning fiends in the middle of the night. What was it you were trying to do?"
This little shit is begging for a spanking, dodging questions like this.
>>77023If you're bringing out the strongest attack of the Sarge, then yes. If not, just go for it.
>>77026It can't be that bad. Maybe it'll take like 25 HP off from a hit. Completely passable stuff.
>>77024You are interrogating her next to somepony she knows has authority over her. So of course she doesn't want to speak without her lawyer present>>77024"To prove we could"
>>77026FALSE. A Ghast's two secondary attacks are not as strong as its primary
>>77029Sister Ash is now fuming again.
"Who taught you that trick?"
>>77031[Angry dragonhorse noises]
[1d20 = 14][1d20+3 = 20][1d20+5 = 6]>>77031She doesn't want to speak
>>77030Fuck it. Let's do this.
The Sargent lets forth an unnatural shriek as it bites out at Silver, and tries to smash him with his hooves
>>77031*Dangling intensifies*
"You're in big trouble young lady. Do yourself a favor and tell us who it was that put you up to this foolishness."
>>77034How much dex does Silver have?
>>77036"No pony put me up to this. I did this all on my own"
>>77034Stop being a crybably, it's not like you got slashed after the perfect opportunity to grapple the opponent into unconsciousness for 3/4 of your health.
>>77039Well, you only did 1 fortitude save, not 2. Also I failed a damn easy grapple check.
>>77037"You taught yourself an extraplanar language and made up a conjuration spell that involved 3 people on the fly? I find that hard to believe." She replies quizically, being no stranger to the school of summoning
"What kind of debauchery have you been involved in? And what have you been reading?"
[1d4+1 = 5]>>77038>UnconsciousnessUh...
>>77039Iron was already paralyzed, and he didn't get away
>>77039The forward teeth of the sargent seem to get stuck in a part of Silver's armor. His good hoof bounces off of Silver's breastplate. But the broken, sinewy hoof breaches and contacts Silver's hide
Roll a fortitude save
>>77042"There are books..."
>>77041>Avoiding getting infected.I guess that wouldn't be automatic. Roll a second fortitude save
>>77044Wait, really? I was going to kill him if I grappled him underwater? Damn, chalk it up to rookieness.
>Iron was already paralyzedI-it was just a dream... i-it wasn't real [1d20+7 = 17][1d20+7 = 27]>>77044[Very Much Dead Fighter Noises]
>>77045Oh, you were talking about when he wanted to 1v1 the special forces guy but do it unfairly
>>77046Well fuck. He ain't getting paralyzed today, nor turned into a ghast tomorrow
>>77046See? You had nothing to worry about, my guy.
Why those dice did not appear for me? >>77047I just wanted to knock him out and take them to an arena of sorts, I wanted to isolate him first then ask for a duel.
>>77044Sister Ash grits her teeth and continues
"What books? When did you get them?" She implores
She turns to Sister Rosemary
"Make sure to search all of their rooms. There's nothing more unruly than a rambunctious child playing with a black magick tomb."
>>77053Kids should'nt be playing with tombs. It's just asking for trouble.
They'll have plenty of time to do that shit after college.
>>77057Didn't you have like 50 HP? Surely your HP hasn't dropped lower than 40 or 35, right?
>>77054Or the dreaded Necmarenomicon of the mad Arabian Abdul Alhazelred
>>77051Sister Rosemary: "That we shall. What is this about a 'fiend'?"
>>77060Passable, keep it up, proud of you.
>>77059i suspected as much with the words she was saying earlier.
