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

If that's the kind of dreams he's having now, then I think Iron has more issues than just having a sore asshole from being anally raped by a large dog.

He was paranoid from the lack of stallions guarding the abbey, as well as it could be a revenge plot through dream manipulation by one of the mares who spiked him with something when he was asleep, He has options

Unless you would be willing to put a wooden holy symbol in the place of the single, non-masterwork weapon an ascetic would carry(usually a staff, club or sling since they cost 0 gp), but Clerics are really much better off just wearing full magical armor and weilding weapons they themselves crafted, they're the only class that can Sanctify Relics afterall.
Sister Ash carries a broom (Quarterstaff), because it makes her look good. At the warehouse, she brought a homemade shield.
Ascetiscism feature was mostly meant to apply to Druids and Monks. Druids are able to cast without holy Symbols, but they'd still have to pay experience points in the place of costly spell components, or otherwise beg for the materials if they needed to cast a costly spell (bringing people back from the dead is expensive). Being an Ascetic druid just feels holier though, because you're in essence trying to live as 'naturally' as possible. Monks use weapons and armor anyway, so the Vow actually helps them break their ironic dependency on wonderous-item equiptment; and being a self-punishing Ascetic is pretty Buddha-tier, even if you have to miss out on all of cool loot rolls. It could also them get spells by taking the Apostle of Peace PrC, which is easier for them since Vow of Nonviolence is easier to follow when your primary form of attack does nonlethal damage.
However, being an ascetic also makes you somewhat more dependant on your party members for things that can be more easily accessed via items, like planar travel, ability buffs in combat, healing, penetrating specific damage reduction or resisting harmful status ailments and death effects. It's good for a support-based character though.

Unfortunately, because Silver doesn't have any skill points, and because he has a -1 Int modifier, he is unable to check for secret doors or traps at all, so he can't respect the dungeon.

Well, we kinda went in blind without any info apart that it was a gang hideout. Isn't that the opposite of the first panel of the comic?

TBH, I'm not a big fan of the RPG mechanic where Intelligence or some other equivalent is the universal determinant for how many skill points you have. It always makes that one ability infinitely more valuable than any other ability, even if it's not essential to your class.
>>77890
Seems more like good way to waste potions, time, and/or get yourself killed.
>>77891
Unfortunately, Silver is kinda broke, and the party already got their big payout from the job at the pier, so I doubt he'll ever end up with enough money to buy anything like that.

Cheer up. The GM will ensure that there's good pay at the end of a valiant quest to obtain loot.

Are you sure? It was a LOT of money you guys got at the end of that one mission, and that's only because you all decided to board and loot the boat that was at the docks.

Heck, there may be 20 gold pieces or 5 artifacts that are double the value of all 10 gold bricks.

The most preparation I could muster was summoning a dog and bringing a tower shield, which turned out to be very helpful.
I considered taking a day or two to try to gather info, but then I figured that sister Ash would be in a hurry, since she didn't know what was happening to the children as she waited. In the end, she wasn't able to save half of them (yet).

You'll get more shekels later. That's the best part of the dungeon crawl (unless you're an Ascetic and can't use items).
I'm sure you'll get plenty of chances to equipt your character.

Artifacts are a bigger deal than you'd think.
Magick items though.

Either way, Silver is a few steps behind everyone in terms of equipment already. The best he has is a basic steel greatsword and a normal "breastplate".
>>77896
Plus we did kinda piss off the GM by leaving the tunnels prematurely, so I don't expect many favors in terms of rewards from him for a while.

I didn't know, I'm new to the game. At the same time, there were other players telling me that what I had was fine, so I didn't think much of it.

Or, you could go ahead and donate all of your worldly possessions and take on a life of service to the poor

I'll hazard a guess that it was planned either by Skies (Most likely to do this, since I dissed hard on her non-existent tribe), Cauldron. (Less likely since she already had her fill of revenge) and a changeling conspiracy on the Abbey. (Which admittedly is kinda cool) Other options are what Ash's player said and it was all a dream type of deal.

The Parish is North Baltimare and North Point. There are several churches, the lead structure being the Cathedral of Saint Eligius. As buildings in Baltimare go, this one is not that far away, though still a good number of blocks

The make their way down the closed caverns. As the reach the first basement again, it occurs to them that the slab had best be closed. They leave up this, and when they get to great tracts of dirt and construction equipment that was once a cursed farm, they see that the sun is fully set.

The Cathedral is perhaps mile away. When they approach they can see the building. It is a towering neo-gothic structure with two spires, either with a number of ornate decorations on it, and a white granite exterior. Fairly tall, it's the most ornate building Silver has seen at least since City Hall

It's not as impressive as any of several (former) Cathedrals in Saint Petershoof, but they are not lacking for style. The doors are vaulted in shape, 15 feet tall, and big and thick wood. They have metal knockers. There is a light on to the left side

"You are right. I am not from Equestria. But I do know about your princess. I know how she was defeated by Chrysalis when she came in with a single hive the first time. I know about how she could not hold back Tirek or the Storm King or any number of other threats, and how she contracted out safety to a small but competent band of heroes. And that is a decent strategy... If your enemies are few in number or have a keystone to them. But when they come in the millions, numbers so great they block out your precious sun, and when they come with new machines of war, you need an entire nation to defend. And Celestia, for all you exalt her and place her upon a pedestal, has failed to raise her pony subjects up to the same level. Because when you all consider yourselves to be lambs in a flock, and rely on somepony else to protect you, you neglect to learn how to protect yourselves. Celestia's reign bred complacency. It bred a spirit of servitude. The ponies did not learn how to unite and fight as a nation. And that is why they failed, because for all of the celebration of the strength of harmony, they neglected the 'armonia' that forms a pony's bond to their countrymare, and service to the nation.
And their faith in harmony with other races... guh!" She gives a sign of disgust. "They cared more for Yaks, Griffons, and even Changelings than they did for their own poor ponies on the Griffonian continent. Tell me, have you ever heard of the ponies of Iksegard? No? You never shall, because they don't exist anymore. While your queen was eating cake and being nice to Griffons, the 'Reformisten' slaughtered them all. The Duke, and the Duke alone, tried to avenge the ponies of the ancient eastern marchlands. And when he did, Celestia declared war on him. Not on any of the aggressive griffons, but on her own former subjects. She attacked first. Have you heard of Manebourn? How it was sacked by Aquelian revolutionaries? Equestrian soliders among them? Some 'protector of ponykind' she used to be. And when the Changelings came in their swarms, the yaks and griffons just stood there and watched.
But all of this, really, is besides the point. If that queen were even a tenth as honorable as you want to believe she is, she is still a Changeling captive. And you may be ignorant of how that works, but I am not. When you send your love or faith to her, the Changelings take their little share of it
So whether you like him or not, only the Duke remains to claim the mantle of the protector of ponykind"

He chuckles darkly as the doors swing open. His thoughts travel back to the bodies they found earlier, those of the EDF units, injured, killed, or worse when New Mareland invaded. "You are funny. Where I come from, protectors do not shoot ponies they claim to protect." He quiets down when he steps into the Cathedral and starts to look for somepony to help Dark Star.

No. sh was in a chapel at the monestary. It was mentioned that the priestess was

"You mean they don't shoot ponies in Stalliongrad? I wouldn't be so sure. Manebourn was a New Mareland city. A Dominion city just a few years before. One of your empresses's protectorates. It was sacked, and the Ponies who sacked it were very much minions of your princess. It is thanks to the NMAC and the Airforce they did not kill more. Equestria attacked first. Don't hate us for being strong enough to win a defensive war, and saving half Equestria from being Changeling slaves in the process"
As he goes in, he sees grand lines of pews, and a huge vaulted ceiling. There are ornaments of many kinds around. The lancet windows of the church have stained glass images, many of them concerning the Elements of Harmony.
One of the windows is boarded up with wood. It must have shattered or come loose from the vibrations of artillery.

Blue Skies stays outside
As Silver goes further in, a yellow Earth pony runs from a door to his left and tries to great Silver. She is wearing religious gard, and she can be reasonably identified as a priestess
"Hello, I heard you knocking. My name is Priestess Sundew. What can I do for you at this hour?"

He stays silent, not wanting to argue over politics, and especially not wanting to argue over politics in a place of worship like this.
Internally, he fumes at the damage done this Holy place.

Silver is very much thankful that Blue stayed outside. "Priestess...my friend, he is very ill. We were clearing undead, in tunnels underneath Curwhinny Farm. One of them, some kind of powerful zombie, bit my friend. I fear he may turn into one of those monstrosities. I brought him here as soon as I was able, in hope you might be able to cure him of his affliction."

Blue Skies preemptively answers the concerns about the broken window. "I assure you that if the artillery corp had ever intended to target or damage this structure or anything near it, there would be so much more damage than a single dislodged window"
>>78065
Sundew's expression changes from jovial and friendly to a sort of horror
"I had heard rumors about the Curwhinny farm when I was a fillie. Tell me again, what bit him?"
She is concerned
>>78067
"I don't know, I think we have to call in our expert on the undead"

"Again, it was like zombie, but...none like I had ever seen before. It was strong, and resilient, and fast. Some walking, soulless corpse that was once pony, created by Curwhinny long ago, that had managed to escape. And it...reeked, worse than death. Another one of my friends, was attacked, and it paralyzed him completely. There was a former member of EDF, there from when New Mareland attacked...those things had turned him into one of them."

"Not soldier, but same things as him, ones who turned soldier into zombie...like them...I do not have name for them, I am afraid.

That game usually takes ages to play. I've seen many let's play about it, and they take a long while.

"Oh dear... I'm afraid this goes beyond my area of expertise. Let me call in Father Maren. He is our parish's expert on such matters. It's a good thing you came to the mother church here, as he generally resides here"
She canters off towards a door in the back and the left, going in, and coming out some two minutes later
"He is coming." After her follows an old grey Unicorn stallion with darker black robes and a great sun embroidered on it, black mane, and an eye that is glassed over in a cataract. Despite his black mane, he has the voice of an older stallion
"They tell me you've had some dealings with the undead on the old Curwhinny property" he says
"Pardon me, my name is Father Lancaster Maren. I stay by my books mostly."
