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

>>77462What's the caster level on the potions Silver bought?>>77464Silver doesn't seem to get the joke. "...He had colt on him?"
>>77467You can expect most potions to be made at minimum caster level, or else they'd cost several times as much.
>>77467Pulls out the m1911 and hoofs it over to silver
"yea this kind of colt"
Wait, aren't potions just readied spells that are dormant but a activated when consumed? What's the deal? Why do you need a caster level to drink a placed spell on the potion?
>>77470He takes the pistol and examines it. "Hmm...I have not seen this kind before."
>>77473"yea there was also 1 Colt 911 magazine
1 30 round Limestone box magazine
A letter, folded up
A dog tag
1 grenade
1 knife"
>>77474"Letter? What did letter say?"
>>77475"i havent quite been able to read it yet. its almost like the universe hasnt caught up yet."
>>77472It's slightly more complicated than that.
Potions are single use consumable items. They're different from spell trigger items, like wands, or spell completion items, like scrolls.
A potion is a magic liquid that produces its effect when imbibed. Potions are like spells cast upon the imbiber. The character taking the potion doesn’t get to make any decisions about the effect —the caster who brewed the potion has already done so. The drinker of a potion is both the effective target and the caster of the effect (though the potion indicates the caster level, the drinker still controls the effect).
I g2g. I can say more about items later.
>>77475>>77476It reads
"To my Sweet Autumn Meadows. The war is almost over, and I can feel the dark clouds on the horizon. The Fascist planes fly overhead with impunity, and they harass us now with their artillery. I have seen dark days before, in the early campaign at the Shire. The bugs came in great swarms that blackened the sky and blocked out the Princess’s Sun. The bodies of the dead gave a horrific smell you could smell from miles away, and the Changeling’s machines could be heard from as far. But even in those days it was not hard to keep up the light, because I knew that all of Equestria stood beside me and behind me. There is a very different feeling now. We should have driven the Duke’s minions back into the sea when we had the chance, and now they have pushed us to the sea. It feels as if the light will soon be extinguished.
I hope you made it well to Appleloosia. Please give Dandelion a good Birth Day. I know she is probably not taking the war well, and I regret not being able to be there for her. I wish I could be there with you and hold you again. I would give almost anything for one more night in the desert underneath the jeweled sky with you. But duty calls. Did you know that they promoted me to a lieutenant just last week? I guess I proved your father wrong after all. It seems that Pinkamena herself must have thought that I could do the job. They’ve set me leading a platoon guarding the North suburbs of Baltimare, but the Fascists are trying to break through again. Any time I look up into the sky and see the Princesses’ work, I think of you and Dandelion, and I remember why I am fighting. Why I must fight. But when I see planes, it becomes so very hard to keep faith. We’ll meet again, my Sweet Autumn Meadows, someday, though I don’t know how or when. When we do, I will take you on a waltz through the heavens, like that first dance all those years ago.
With all my love,
Joe Blazer

>>77475"Hey Silver. hit me with your sword."
>>77479"...That does not seem like good idea to me."
>>77473Automatic hoofgun
>>77472Yes, but he means the caster level of the person who made the spell
>>77467Ask the druid dragon lady
>>77478Dark Star looks very saddend by the contents of this letter and a tear rolls down his face as he thinks of his brother and what blue would be feeling if it were him that was turned into a zombie down here and left to rot
>>77480"look, i accidentally shot you. i demand that you slash me with your sword so i can atone for my mistake."
>>77481I mean, I would, but she left. Also, she said it was likely a level 1, so I'm just going to go with that."Hmm. Does anypony want this weapon?"
>>77482"...So you are one who shot me."
>>77483yea>>77484Dark Star looks at him apologetically.
"Hit me!"
>>77485"..." He picks up his sword, but instead of trying to hit him, he just prods Star right in the center of his chest with the pommel. "...Try not to shoot me in ass next time. As saying goes, my barn door does not swing that way."
>>77487"if you do not do it. ill do it myself."
Dark Star pulls out the seeker
>>77489Silver puts a hoof on Dark Star's foreleg to try to stop him. "Look, it is fine. It is not first time I have been shot, and will probably not be last time."
>>77478If Onyx had a hat he would have taken it off at hearing the contents of the letter.
>>77489"I can stab him"
>>77494"Not if you want your cut after this thing."
>>77495"So no one wants to be stabbed?"
>>77496"The monsters down here are just begging for it. Save it for them."
>>77496Silver just sighs. "Nopony in their right mind would want to be stabbed."
>>77494"Oynx, Dragg this body to where the other one is."
>>77493"My honor Demands that i bleed. i made my ally bleed."
>>77492"I Have to." >>77499"Then do it after we aren't in danger of being the next soldier stuck in this place. This is an order."
>>77499"...How about this? You help make our opponents bleed, and I will consider this 'debt' of honor of yours fulfilled."
[1d8+1 = 9]
While waiting for his companions, Silver drinks one of the healing potions.
>>77502"That sounds good to me."
>>77500"i suppose that could work."
>>77501"true.">>77503"Good Horse."
>>77505"Are you patronizing me?"
>>77504And thus recovers 9 health
>>77503I take it this means the corpse of Lieutenant Blazer into the other hallway?
[1d20+5 = 21][1d8+1 = 8]>>77509After letting the effects of the potion wash over him, he takes one last potion before using his first-aid kit to help bandage himself up.
>>77505"Well, to be honest, Dark Star, I find it difficult to imagine feeling about bad shooting somepony">>77513Bandaged and +8 more health, or 17 recovered in total. He now has 4 potions remaining
>>77514He feels significantly better than he did before, with the pain almost completely nullified, save for a dull ache in his foreleg.
>>77500"Ahhhh...I feel much better now than I did going into that fight. And I still have some potions left for another one."
>>77515You know, Like a Paladin>>77510It is so
>>77517"Well, I can't say I've ever shot anypony I considered an 'ally'.">>77516"Go hug that fillie harder. She obviously need parents">>77518You know, I'm not sure if he would have a bullet lodged in his ass
>>77519Cannibals cannot be Paladins.
>>77518"Good."
I call out to Onyx "Bartender, are you still feeling sick?"
>>77510"Hey did you strip him of his armor?"
>>77519>>77518>>77524"well Stallion Gang are we ready to move on? or are we going back?"
What time of day is it? how much time has passed?
>>77519"its not a good feeling." >>77530"it has your vomit on it. no thanks."
>>77525Silver seems confused as to when they decided on calling themselves the 'Stallion Gang'. "I am up for more. We still have job to do, after all. With luck, we will not have to deal with more of...whatever that thing was."
>>77531REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i thought it was salt!!
>>77525I'm still rating it as 6PM. Ish.
>>77522True
>>77525"Well, I can't say I can really hep you much on that. Unless you need a Temptress, or just somepony to hold">>77533Silver begins to wonder what created that one Ghast
\r
>>77533"well who wants to take point?"
>>77535"i need both." >>77538Why would there be some sort of salt in a metaphorical cemetery?
>>77541Today Argentina Anon will learn about embalming
>>77535All he knows about them is that they're hard as hell to kill unless you manage to trip them. But, as he's already got suspicions about the nature of why there's undead here from almost a century ago, he chalks it up to those suspicions: a lich. "I sure do hope whatever created this thing is long gone."
>>77539"Onyx or I would be best candidates. We are both as tanks, while I have light from horn, and he has better weapon."
>>77543There wouldn't just be salt lying around though.
>>77542Expect a visit from Dark Star at the church
>>77544"let him go first you took quite the beating."
>>77546He nods. "Then I will try my best to keep way lighted from behind him."
>>77541>>77543Like why the fuck are you randomly tasting suspected Embalming chemicals?
>>77542https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGp9P6QvMjY>>77548More unlit hallway deeper in, and what seems to be a door entrance
>>77543>>77548"lead the way colts. ill be in the back watching our rear."
>>77550He laughs in jest. "Just do not shoot our rears."
>>77549"Hmm...should we try door?"
>>77550"Since you did such of good job of watching Silver's rear>>77552This doorway has a wooden door to it. The door is already open
>>77555>>77556Walking a little further down, he sees more hallway with more doors
>>77553...Blue must have some really weird fantasies.Silver peeks in past the doorway.
>>77559"...Wait, didn't you say you were going to grab chemicals in well room?"
>>77558No, she's just a sarcastic bitch who was making fun of that statement
>>77560there seems to be a formally constructed vaulted ceiling. There is some moisture and cobwebs. Strangely, the air is actually better over this direction
>>77559"You did, but only after I guided you..." >>77558It seems to be more or less a copy of the last room, with a few differences
There is no lumber in the pit
There are... sounds, shall we say, coming from the pit
There is another booklet on the table
