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

>>78127>>78126"I Dont want to die before ive had a foal."
Dark Star looks down
>>78129"Then you should keep holy signs before you face the undead"
>>78127>>78128"Aye, this is no mundane virus, and it needs no mundane cure. This needs the magic of the light"
Father Maren produces a large book with big leather bindings and a Sun on the front. He must have brought this with him when he first came out
"With the adequate prayers, this may be removed"
He turns to a page, and starts chanting:
"Removere e medio hujus equo execratione maledicta congessit..."
Hmmmm.... Does this need die rolls? >>78130Silver can only somewhat follow what the Father is chanting, without knowing the language. He wonders to himself how anypony managed to come up with those words.
Well, it isn't exactly a traditional heal check, I would think. Maybe? >>78131The language of the clergy is an older strand of Equestrian than contemporary ponish, he recalls
It would be like a caster level check >>78130>this may be removed>may be>mayDark Star Has turned white from terror
>>78132He decides that he'll stick with the Ponish and Cyrillic he already knows. At least those are familiar to him.
>>78135Atlas, pls don't kill mah fren. ;-; >>78135The cure is not taking as Father Maren chants on,
"eximes te equum!"
Roll again
>>78139Well Thats a Big F From me.
>>78139Third time's the charm, don't give up! Skies needs you!
>>78133>>78139>>78139>>78140"Mali spiritus ad tartarus!"
He's not dead quite yet, but he feels a coldness starting to overtake him
[1d20 = 10]>>78136>>78137It Was nice adventuring with you guys
>>78142"Celestia if you are listening i promise ill... Start Praising the sun again."
>>78143Dark Star feels warmer with the Priest's last words. He thinks he hears a distant hiss as the priest continues:
"Inferis rediret corpus destiteritis"
>>78151That's not good. Time to load that dice or be food for lice.
>>78151Father Maren breaks from chanting to say the following in ponish:
“I’d have thought we could have cured you by now. Either something darker is wrong with you, or Fortuna herself has taken a disliking to you.”
“Filius autem malum lupa relinquo!”
>>78151Keep rolling, you can make it!
>>78155Silver looks anxious, with how long this is taking. "...Father, is there anything I can do to help?"
>>78156Is he rolling for ghoul fever?
He loses 1d3 dex and Con every time he fails.
Also, I'll try to play later.
[1d20 = 13]>>78155Dark Star's Worry intensifies
"..."
rolling >>78158If he rolled a 1, that would start to be true. Dark tar actually still has like 23 hours on the incubation period though
>>78159Finally, Dark Star can feel a warmth come to him, as a red light emanates from him
"Begone evil magic!
There, that should have shattered it. You should be safe from turning into one of those things"
I was going to require a 15 or higher, but the dice is behaving like Dark Star has committing great crimes against its people >>78161Yeah, but if he keeps failing, he'll die.
Ghoul Fever doesn't cause permanent ability drain, but it'll kill you.
>>78162Oh. I was going to prepare Remove Disease for when we met up, I guess that's not needed.
>>78162>if he rolled a 1It was really close to start happening. Good thing it was a 2 then.
>>78165This is why it's good to put some ranks in heal. You can take 10 on heal checks, but you can't on saving throws.
>>78162>>78159Silver lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Thank Celestia..." After a couple seconds, he elbows Dark Star, looking much more joyful than we was a minute ago. "I guess that means you will have to start praising her, huh?"
Yeah, that dice just doesn't like Dark Star, today.>>78164It's still probably a good idea to prepare it, in case we decide to try the crypts again and bring Ash along. >>78166It wasn't a heal check, just a d20. Besides that, if you roll a 1, no matter the bonus it should do the opposite of heal, right?
>>78168>It should do the oppositeNot unless circumstances say otherwise.
Using heal to treat a disease let's you sub your heal check for their saving throw. If you fail, they still roll their save normally.
>>78162"Thanks Father i feel warm again."
>>78167"Well i did say that. Even know she abandoned me when i needed it the most i guess i can give it another try."
>>78170this tbh the party needs to reunite so the time stream wont piss its self.
>tfw can't prepare Path Of The Exalted because I don't meet the abstainance component...
Fug. I shouldn't have cast detect magick...
>>78172"And you are welcome indeed. The Undead are no simple matter. Even from her prison. Celestia looks after her foals"
>>78169More like 2 miniquests, one of which could turn very serious
>>78174Well, there's:
>the supspicious adoption>The 1st made mare>The 2nd made mare>The pedo Social DemocratUnless I'm overthinking things.
>>78174"I have heared that they changeling steal some of the love That is meant for her."
>>78175Pretty sure the second and third child can be picked up at once with Cauldron as a contact. But it's going to be a medium to hard quest for it, without much pay apart from the two children.
>>78172He chuckles. "Well, it is more than just praising Celestia. She is just pony, even if she is purest ponification of what we praise. It is Spirit of Her, of Harmony and Equestria, that we truly praise. That which makes us all Equestrians."
>>78174"Father, you mentioned holy signs, to help against undead. We did not finish our mission, and it is likely we will try once more. If you have something you give us that could help in our endeavor..." He pulls out the 150 Bits-worth of paper notes Dark Star gave him for the armor Silver bought. "...here. Even if it is more than you need for purchase of holy sign, consider it token of my gratitude for helping my friend. And donation, towards repairing damage dealt to this Holy place during war."
