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

I am feeling much better now.
>>77370They should be, though Onyx is always in and out it seems.
>>77368Good, you can still recover. Keep it up, each combat is experience that will be useful for other D&D games.
>>77370I am
Seems Ash is preparing a complex and carefully crafted speech to inspire the filly and make her feel safe.
>>77365Sister Ash looks over at the rooms with a solemn expression, before turning back.
"Sometimes things happen that we can't control, but we still need to try our best to help each other when we can." She muses, hoping the filly understands
"... Some if your friends can't be here, but you still have friends with you; the Sisters too. Can you try your best to trust them, for your friends sake?"
>>77380"But why would I, if they could not protect us before?"
>>77379Only combat really needs every player >>77381"Trust isn't something that helps us feel safe.. it helps us stick together despite of danger.." she says, still cradling her
"Try to have faith in your friends, and yourself as well..."
>>77383She almost smiles at the cradling
"But we were sticking together in the forest"
>>77386"
Without nearly cursing yourselves.." Sister Ash adds
>>77388I wonder how she is so confident to be able to control fucking flaming dogs that come from Tartarus itself without consequences.
>>77388This lil' shid just made it bite me. She had no way of telling of she could tell it to stop biting.
And there's no way a ritual that invokes an effect like that doesn't have some kind of horrific consequence
(I'd be broken otherwise)>This is what Sister Ash would be thinking right now as she speaks"But were you completely aware of how that Conjuration worked, or the consequences of it..?" She impores
She continues
"Tell me.. What kind of great and powerful spirit is satisfied with the just the life of injured rabbit, but doesn't want
something more in return..?" She says, her hoof pointing towards the filly's chest
>>77389She had no way of knowing that. The hellhound did what any hellhound would do: attack good-aligned creatures.
The lil' shid is just cocky.
>>77390*It would be broken
>>77390"I thought you knew all of this already?"
>>77392"I knew, but I'm certain you didn't; because if you did, you wouldn't have been so quick to put yourself and your friends in danger." She replies
>>77393"How much do you know about infernal magic?"
She asks
>>77394"Experience." Sister Ash replies flatly
"I've seen enough if it to know that it's nothing for ponies to be fooling around with, let alone foals."
>>77395The fillie does not respond
Ash recalls that the same fillie suspected that Ash would use her and the other foals as ritual sacrifices in dark magic
>>77396Said the pot to the kettle...
"Black magick is no laughing matter.."
"I've seen it destroy ponies, who didn't know any better than to try it themselves."
>>77397".... So is being a helpless foal..."
She says this quietly
>>77397Why don't you give her the idea of summoning good creatures for her? It sounds okay to increase safety.
>>77399The only good-aligned summon I have atm are Satyrs and Giant Eagles. It'll just piss off the nuns.
>>77398"There are better ways to avoid helplessness than playing with shifty dark magick." She says, boldly
"Now enough of this. You're all far past your bedtimes. You'll hear more about it in the morning." She says, as she places the filly down.
>>77400She lowers herself down again
Sister Marery
"This is all quite dreadful, but we have prayer in the morning"
The colt: *hooves extended out* "Hug?"
>>77401Sister Ash stares at the colt for several seconds with narrowed eyes.
"... Sure." She replies
>>77404Sister Ash isn't one to deny kindness to somepony who asks for it, even if she feels somewhat suspicious.
>>77406*Cuddles some more, because why not?*
>>77407*The colt is cuddled more*
The fillie returns to her bed, and sulks
>>77408Sister Ash "places" (tears off and hurls) the colt into his bed, before she returns to her own chamber for some much-needed rest.
Because no one else is going to comment on the fight...
Silver stands over the corpse of the Sargent, greatsword still drawn. He looks and sounds absolutely exhausted from the fight, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. "That...t-that was...that was hell of fight..."
>>77409And thus her midnight escapade ends unceremoniously
>>77410He's dead now. The smell is actually less bad now, although part of The Sargent is covered in vomit
>>77411"What...what even was that thing..." He doesn't want to get much closer to check, all things considered. Though he doesn't have much time to actually consider it before all of the pain, previously pushed out of mind by his anger, hits him all at once like a freight train.
>>77412Yeah, I know, it's a shocker to me too. >>77410Onyx falls over
"Wake me up when it's time to leave"
>>77417Silver is too busy falling on his side and letting out a long, low wail of complete pain and anguish to be worried about Onyx right now.
>>77418I try to help Silver out of the room.
>>77417"I say it's time to go. We need to head to a doctor."
>>77419Onyx helps spark move Silver
>>77419>>77420He grunts in pain at every movement, as he tries to fight against Spark and Onyx's assistance. "I am...fine! I just...let me get..." He fumbles through his saddlebags as best as he can for his first-aid kit and a healing potion.
>>77424Oof. Can Dark Star save the day? Hope Spark doesn't fall somewhere.
>>77427That's how it is with dice. 1=Death
>>77427Silver is very successful in shaking off Shimmer, and very unsuccessful in shaking off Onyx
>>77429Silver still struggles as best as he can against him, to no avail. "I will be fine! Let me go!"
>>77432"Ease up. We need to make sure that thing didn't do anything to you. Those wounds are no joke."
A map of the positions thus far
>>77433>>77434"I feel fine. It was just pain, and pain has already passed." Despite him saying this, he still winces when he puts pressure on the hoof that got bitten. "We have job to do still! Let me patch myself up, then I will be fine to continue on."
>>77436"The job will still be done, but it can't be done by anypony at less than peak health. I can't risk you getting hurt worse. If they waited this long for the monsters to be removed, they can afford to wait a little longer. We must be sure you are perfectly fine to continue."
Remember to loot that armor.
>>77438"I'll stop making you lean on my shoulder when one of us is dead"
>>77438"I have medical supplies, I will be fine!"
>>77440Silver glares at Onyx. "I said I will be fine."
>>77439Ew, why would you want armor worn by an undead? The sidearm he had on him sounded more like loot, though. >>77441If he's got armor, he might be wearing other stuff.
Besides, you can sell it. Worth at least two healing potions; maybe 4.
>>77441"If the medical supplies can heal you to my satisfaction, then you can continue. If not, I am the one that signed the paper to lead the mission, so I will take you to the hospital should it not."
>>77442Silver now starts to genuinely sound upset. "Let. Me. Go."
>>77443>there are places that would buy tattered puked-on flak jacketsOkay, that's definitely a stretch.>>77444He opens up his saddlebags, pulling out six Potions of Cure Light Wounds and one large, high-quality first-aid kit, fully-stocked.
>>77445Now, this is where I have to ask so questions. How many hit points does Silver have left and how many are restored through each of these items?
>>77445"You'll heal yourself first"
>>77446It matters what caster level the potions he bought were.
>>77446Each potion is a 1d8 + whatever caster level the potion maker was, which is somewhere between 1 and 5.>>77447"It is hard to do while you are holding onto me."
>>77449"Fine, but lean on my shoulder"
>>77451He grumbles a bit. "You know I can stand on my own? I am not that old yet."
>>77450"Alright. Take one of these potions."
>>77452"You're injured, and I'm not about to believe I'm the only one sick."
>>77311Dark Star inspects the corpse for anything of interest.
>>77455He raises an eyebrow as he looks at Onyx. "You are sick from that? I know that zombie reeked, but it was not that horrible a smell."
>>77457"So it didn't get you eh?"
>>77456The uniform is fairly damaged and covered in vomit. There is an EDF standard helmet that is dented and a strap cut. He is wearing a mundane flak jacket that is now mildly to moderately damaged.
1 Colt 911 sidearm pistol
1 Colt 911 magazine
1 30 round Limestone box magazine
A letter, folded up
A dog tag
1 grenade
1 knife
>>77458He shakes his head. "No. I think I held up rather well, in that regard. Even if he got me couple times before you came in to help."
>>77459>tfw Silver would have been the one to see what the Sarge had on him, had he not been dragged away by Spark and Onyx >>77459Dark Star gathers it all and trys to find out where the rest of the stallion gang went.
>>77461They should all be immediately around him in the hallway
>>77461Can you even carry all of that?
>>77425>>77457>>77462>>77458"Hey Colts, the zombie had a colt on him."
>>77459Dark Star inspect the letter
