Welcome to the latest thread of Occupied Equestria. Set six years after season 6, it presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while an Equestrian splinter colony - soured to Princesses notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestruan Southlands, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and even ancient necormancers and dark gods threaten the city and the surrounding regions. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
In the latest episode, we are starting day 4. Ash is finally getting to sleep after dealing with foals that scarified animals to evil gods, Iron is disappointed to find that the only sex he is getting is in his dreams, Dark Star has declined to have sex, Onxy has discovered the joys of socialized medicine, I don’t know what Spark is doing, and Silver has discovered that when you don’t complete a quest, you don’t get paid for it

I think you were doing the thing. Not the one thing, but the other thing. The thing that we talked about, but not too long ago. The thing that you mentioned doing that everyone knows but you, yet you are the only one to know.
Am I talking nonsense yet?
>>79006
Are you telling me we AREN'T getting paid for almost dying and getting ghost aids?

I wasn't around for that. In terms of loot...I mean, we did get a Luna Nova rifle that we can probably sell for a decent amount, once we get it cleaned up. Silver's taking the other one for himself, though.

I mean, the quarry job would probably be a lot simpler and a lot faster to complete, so...
>>79019
And how much would be our effort's worth? Silver's kinda spent a decent amount of Bits on this thing, so...
>>79022
You need to pump up those numbers, bro. I'm not even sure, actually, if we could even get ammo for these things. They take special rounds with magic charges in them, and they're only issued to Special Forces. Blue Skies is probably the only pony the party knows who can actually buy ammo for it, maybe Dark Star (ironically).

The normal bolt-action for Equestria is the Lavender Rifle, issued to all branches of the Equestrian military. The Luna Nova is the experimental magic-enhanced bolt-action rifle issued to Special Forces and Mage Divisions.

Which is exactly what she does, unless obstructed in some way.
She takes a few minutes to wrestle her beautiful flowing mane into the religious habit, taking some time to recite the basic elements of magick as she does.

I'll take that as my cue to wake up as well.
Iron wakes up. He feels somewhat refreshed even after the night's events. He cracks his neck to the side. He figures that Ash would want to stay a bit more in the abbey so putting the armor now would be a bad idea. He decides to look for the dining room for some grub, only having his leather belt, with Redclaw's memento in it, equipped. Maybe one could make a necklace out of that water bison Redclaw had with him, to remind himself not to cower from a fair fight next time.

No, it’s just an entirely ordinary, entirely mundane .303 Bolt Action rifle with an affixed 6 inch bayonet and loaded with 3 or 8 entirely mundane non-special bullets - a 9 pound slender paperweight which mere mortals, in their boundless folly, thought could give them power over Nature and Creature.

Since everyone's getting up...
After having slept soundly through the night, Silver gets up to start his morning routine, something he hasn't been able to do since before the war: a quick shower, breakfast involving one can of beans, some of his newly-purchased whiskey, and water from the tap, 20 push-ups, and a quick smoke.
>>79047
In that case, anything Silver's ever said about his rifle being a Luna Nova is now officially non-canon and has been made unreal.

Depending on which rifle, the rifle of the first soldier (Prim Poppy I think) is entirely functional, if needing a cleaning. The rifle of the second soldier also functions, but had minor damage when dropped, most importantly causing the bayonet to bend

"Oh uh... Hello there" She is polite, if unsure
>>79051
It's a language that was widely spoken by one prominent tribe in particular at the time of the sister's ascensions. The language of the Celestials was translated to this language so that the common ponies could hear the words of the Celestials, and it became the language of the Clergy. The merging and migration of tribes, besides linguistic drift, has caused the language to go extinct outside of its use in the clergy

Satisfied, he grabs it (ever mindful of the sharp bayonet), puts on his saddlebags, and heads out the door of his room. "I suppose I have things I need to do, if we are to return to crypts." After stamping out his cigarette on the cold hard concrete, he makes his way back towards the sporting goods store he visited on the previous day.

Happy Hunting inspects the rifle
"This is... a military rifle I see"

"It seems to be somewhat rusted and un-cleaned, but generally functioning. The wood is a bit stained, though I don't know if you care. hat kind of service do you want?"

Sung in part, spoken in part. Literally everypony except for Ash knows the prayers, so she is left as the lone pony in the room not able to follow along. It involves kneeling, standing, and sitting at various intervals, besides burning of incense. Sundew is yet again the Priestess for the morning mass
>>79063
In fairness, because New Mareland now rules over more griffons than its own pony citizens, they have to play nice with the griffons as well... Besides having very large, very scary griffin allies. But shooting Zebras... He can gun down menacing Zebra pirates en mass, though they present enough danger to earn a thrill

"I want it drilled, but I do not want to hurt the carving too much. If the hole has to be too big, I would rather take this 'glue' you speak of." Iron smiles. "Thank you for your service, by the way. I do not think you are asked many times about making necklaces."

Probably so. I'm just more familiar with .30-06, .308, and 7.62mm.
Silver is very much glad that his inspection wasn't too terribly off, considering his general lack of expertise with firearms. "I would like it cleaned, if it pleases you. If it is not too much more difficult, having unstained stock would also be nice, but it is not necessary."

Iron grumbles some more. Guess he needs to find it himself. What's with these ponies and their lack of fighting spirit? There should be a place where to put up hooves in battle. With that objective in mind, the map and his belt, he exits the abbey to seek it.

He steps out of the store, looking for something to do for an hour. Among the first thing that comes to his mind, as he checks his map, is to see if there's a nearby Museum of History he might be able to visit, and learn a bit about the history and culture of the region.

the particular region of Baltimare was inhabited by a tribe of Earth Ponies known as the Chincoteague. The consensus opinion is that these and a few other tribes of Southern Equestria migrated here centuries before the advance of the main Equestrian tribes, although a minority believes that these ponies were actually a very early vanguard of the migration of the Earth Ponies in the Windigo crisis, who settled after their ship wrecked there

While Equestria has always been a multicultural nation, many specific locales have at times been dominated by specific races, and East Equestria has in large part been more earth pony centered. Hence, the Earth Pony tribe was the first to come down there, planting crops that grow in warmer environments, and settling in the forests. Mage Meadow Brook and her folk were among these. South East Equestria was not significantly inhabited by Equestrians in large part because of the menace of Dragons in the very nearby Badlands, Manticores, and other forest creatures, not to mention diseases. But as time passed, Equestrians became more able to handle these threats, and moved South. The Chincoteague, for their part, variously made war, tried to establish themselves, or were assimilated, until eventually Duke Berrydew deported them to another region. As for the area of Baltimare, it became more developed in large part thanks to its position by the Celestial Sea. It was easy to trade with Fillydelphia or Manehattan, and after Meananderly Polo, trade was opened up with Griffonia, including eventually the Griffon Empire and the settlement of the Dominion of New Mareland. Baltimare became involved in the Triangular trade with Zebrica as well, and merchants flourished in Baltimare. Though it was the seat of a Duke, free merchants succeeded as well, and it took hold to become one of Equestria's great cities, a center of resource trade between the South East, the Northeast, and Griffonia and Zebrica at times. It industrialized as well, although it never had the advantages that cities further North had, and became similar to the other urban centers

Also need to highlight I have unarmed focus and specialization.

Iron is not amused. "I just need to mask the bruises for a while at the very least. If I go to my destination, ponies are going to panic." Iron ponders. If he doesn't have any answers, maybe someone else will. No way these ponies don't have a doctor in tow to cure fighters from their bruises. It's illegal, after all.

You just had to appear after I said you would be a bit late. Oh well. If you feel like GMing, I had planned a visit to Cauldron, both as a little friendly chat and a potion seller, and since I have the map, I should be able to find the address..

The only plan I have is to get you guys to go in there and I provide my spells... however they can help. Other than that, I guess pray to the dice gods for mercy this time around. turns out I have been calculating my spells per day wrong, don't know if I should keep going with what I have already stated, or just go along with the new amount

Silver's plan is going to be to stick with the other Fighter(s) and try to keep the undead as far away from you, Dark Star, and maybe Ash as possible.

You sound like I had a plan to begin with. I guess I could try that, but I need my character to have a reason to learn of this strategy.

Remember the fact that Dark Star had to go to a church to dispell his sickness? That's enough reason to do that.

Well, I could come up with the right dialog to figure that out, but Spark never quite learned what became of Dark Star. Once I find him again, then I should be able to.

Judging by your lack of response, I'll assume you're ready
Iron decides he does not need any robes. He simply needs to magick his wounds away, and he knows the pony, or shall we say zebra, to do the job. He remembers the address Cauldron said and looked for the restaurant that is there.

Silver looks up from the table he's sitting at with a map in his hooves to look at Onyx's limp form. "Ah, it is good to see that you are still alive after all."

In front of him is a crude-yet-serviceable map of the crypts they explored underneath Curwhinny farm, or at least as much as they've explored, as well as a list of notes about the enemies they faced and what they'll need for a return trip, made using a "borrowed" pen and a bar napkin. Silver's marked a few key points of interest that they found yesterday. "I understand if you are hesitant to go back to tunnels, but I am in personal need of Bits, and I do not like to leave jobs unfinished. If either of you do not want to go back, please speak up now."

Silver nods, and turns to his map. "When we took job, we underestimated difficulty of our tasks, and we were not prepared. I do not intend for this to happen again." He points to where the skeletons they faced appeared out of thin air. "When skeletons came at us, they came from blue mist, with no sign of them ever having been there in first place. Same blue mist as when I disturbed ashes in urns. It is obvious they were summoned. By what, I do not know, but we must be ready for fight at all times.
"Best way to kill skeletons is with bludgeoning strikes. It is most effective way you can shatter their bones. If you have funds, and strength to wield it, I recommend buying hammer. Otherwise, best weapon you would have against them would be your hooves. As for other undead, they do not seem to have any particular weakness, but I would keep noses open. I do not know how many more are in tunnels, but they are easy enough to find before they find you. If we get into fight, try to trip them. It makes them much easier to hit, at least in melee." He points to Onyx. "You have halberd, right? It should be decent weapon for tripping. And it should not leave you open to biting like hooves would.
"When we go back down there, Onyx and I should take point. We are strongest of group, and most resilient. We have better chance of avoiding infection, I would imagine, than rest of us. We also need to find weapons that are specialized against undead. After Dark Star got infected, I took him to cathedral not too far from quarry. Father there, he is knowledgeable about undead. Perhaps it would do us well to ask him if he knows of ways to deal with them easier."
"Finally, it would be good idea to bring someone else along who is good with healing, or curing disease. Dark Star, he mentioned something about nun, or not-nun, who might be able and willing to help us in this regard, but he did not give specific location as to where we may meet her. If either of you know where she might be found, then we should go to her and ask for her aid."

I only have four left for myself, and I do not have many spare Bits left to purchase more. And as lucky as I might be with medkit, I do not think it can do much good if you get torn to shreds by undead."

A character who had the vow of poverty would refrain from intentionally buying/consuming bottled hit points, because they're expensive items like any other potion and such a character is sworn to donate all of their possessions to the poor.
It doesn't prohibit the character from being rescued with a potion if they were dying though. That's where the permission ends.

Spoiled because of non-core meta:
By force? No.
That would not cause penalty. Since the character itself would not have strayed from the promise they made to their faith.
Sacred Vows aren't really trumped by technicalities like that: they're religious creeds, not arcane spell effects.
For example, a character who swore off worldly possessions could still pick up a treasure chest full of priceless treasures and carry it for miles; provided they were carrying said treasure to a place where they intended to give it away.
I read a lot if the Sacred Vow feats, and they're mostly worded about the same the same: intentionally breaking the vow results in the permanent loss of the few; breaking the vow due to extreme circumstances or mind control causes temporary loss. A character who'd taken the Vow of Nonviolence, who was Enchanted into harming someone would lose the benefits of their feat until they'd labored in repentance that would meet the prerequisites of an Atonement spell; a character who'd intentionally committed murder would have irreparably strayed from the path of Nonviolence, and thus permanently lose the benefits of the feat, along with any prestige Class levels or templates they had attained with the Vow as a prerequisite.

Sustenance (not needing to eat) is a feature of Ascetiscism after a certain level. A character with the vow would never be in that position, unless something disabled their supernatural abilities. Extreme fasting may be part of the roleplay though.
Eating expensive food while others went hungry would definitely break the vow though. Eating a small portion at a table as a gesture of solidarity and accepting hospitality may not be, depending on what the circumstances were.

It really matters in the circumstances.
If the act is antithetical to the vow itself, there wouldn't be any loopholes.
I don't actually have any vows at this point though. I'm just rolling with Augment Summoning until further notice. I was just following the creeds for vows I wanted to take, for the sake of character consistency.

Potions are typically thin, cylindrical containers measuring at no more than an inch wide and 2 inches tall (including the stopper), containing only an ounce of liquid.
You can carry a whole bunch of them. They don't spoil unless altered by magick or intentionally tampered with.
Also, wasn't Couldron a Rogue? Only a Cleric/Adept/Druid/Bard would be capable of making healing potions, if they had the feat. Only spellcasters can produce alchemical items too.

Show-wise, you have three options:
Earth Pony
Pegasus
Unicorn
You could increase the chance of being one of them if the ponies in question are of certain races, for example, it's more likely foals between Star and Skies are going to be Earth Ponies and/or Pegasi than unicorns, but there's still a chance to be unicorn still.

Oh, we're pre-unification or just post-unification of all three races? Are those fighting words world-wise? Eh, I don't know. I think I have it figured out. Well, I'll just leave for a bit nonetheless. I'll be back soon-ish.

On that note, if we consider ponies to have about the same lifespan as humans, we could use human statistics.
In that case, it would be 20% all year round.
Now here's the real question: Do ponies go into heat, like horses? Or do they procreate like hoo-mans do?

>Tbh, I like of like the estrus motif in clop pieces.
I agree with this sentiment.
Also, potentially stupid question: if I throw a flask of oil as a splash weapon at an opponent, then ignite it, does it deal 1d3 damage for two rounds like if I were to ignite it from the ground, or does it deal 1d6 damage for two rounds like if I had used Alchemist's Fire?

Avoiding being lit on fire by a non-supernatural is a 15 DC reflex save; some creatures and spells have Abilities that raise the DC. You take 1d6 damage every turn you're on fire, and can attempt to extinguish the flames every round with another reflex save.

Rangers get Detect Pregnancy as a 1st level spell though.

But what's cheaper? Because a flask of oil is pretty damn cheap.
TBH, me asking this is probably just a consequence of me having played way too much Dragon's Dogma. There's a lot of crazy things you can do with DE-B-I-LITATIONS in that game, especially revolving around Tarring and Dousing.

Well, you can do pretty much anything you can imagine. It's role-playing.
I think that throwing the oil and lighting it would probably be separate actions though, and the lighting part might incur AoO.
Considering that you'd need to throw a lot of oil to create the effect you desired (and be able to light it), alchemist fire might be better.

Well, I mean, considering the GM basically just said "no" to whatever plans I would had with oil, I think I'll probably just stick with Alchemist's Fire.

Well, as a class feature, I can burn any of those for a summoning spell. I kind of wanted to diversify things a bit though. Try some sanctified spells; develope her faith/practice a bit; experiment with different kinds of spells, etc.
Heat/Chill Metal won't be useful for anything but disabling weapons though: My AC is 10, so I'd rather avoid being shot at. Downdraft is to knock flying enemies down without outright killing them.

Oh, sounds like you have a plan for today. When the GM finishes his business and Iron can move again, he will go to a particular potion shop, heal these wounds up and come back to the abbey, so don't move a muscle from the abbey for now.

Sister Ash is helping out at the orphanage while she waits for Iron; doing chores and taking care of the foals. I should also note that she's been asking for descriptions of the foals who are still missing as well as their names, lest she see one of them in the city.
Caleb is training himself as an emotional support animal, patiently letting the foals pet him.

Yeah, she would probably help them if they requested it; despite having her own priorities, reposing the undead is a cause she would be willing to offer up her service upon favorable request.
Also, I'm deciding my spell list for the day.
Thinking about it, it makes no sense for Sister Ash to prepare call Lightning 3 days in a row. She considers her spells to be a religious practice, not an asset in combat. I've diversified her spell list with the mentality that she would choose different spells each day, unless she had a particular plan for them (which she doesn't).

Yes. That is permissible.
It's kind of gay using the rest of the party's money though. The description also suggests the option of paying an amount of XP as a replacement for costly components.

Well then, as far as I remember, the gang was going to head up to the potions shop, followed by the Cathedral. Both of which are places only Silver knows where to head to, so...
Silver looks out towards the exit to the tavern. "Come on, then. All of my stuff is gathered already. We should head to potions shop."

Timeline got borked again.
As far as I know, because Dark Star spent so much time inside Blue Skies, he arrived at the tavern after Spark, Silver, and Onyx left for the potions shop. I thought we had told Glass, or were going to tell Glass, that was where we were headed, but I guess we didn't.

Okay, let's figure this out immediately.
How are we going to assemble the party?

Well, Spark, Onyx, and Silver will likely start asking around the religious institutions in Baltimare until they find someone who knows where Ash is currently residing. Dark Star and Blue Skies aren't with them, but if at least one of them knows where Ash is, and they remember that Silver asked them if they knew anypony who could help them, then they might be able to put two and two together and go to where Ash is. Iron is...somewhere, doing something. Whatever that is, I don't know, but Iron already knows where Ash is, so I wouldn't worry about him too much. And everything else is essentially centered around Ash, so I don't think she has to do much except sit around until everyone gets gathered together.
>>79583
Yeah, sorry about this. We suck, I know.

The location Cauldron gave was in the south eastern part of town, a little ways away. It's a one story brown-tiled building with a large roof on and an empty grass lot to its left. The name on it is simply "Ulonri." You get the impression that they just opened

It could be why the GM is setting up the scene so tightly. Maybe he's trying to join up with the others in that restaurant. Or maybe I'm going to be ambushed and berated by Cauldron and his goons, who knows?
>>79587
Eh, I'm not that good at it.

"then let me seat you." The interior is mostly normal for an Equestrian location, with a high ceiling. The walls, tables, and seats are largely of a darker wood, and are decorated with what have to be a number of Zebrican cultural items, like rugs and a few tapestries. One seems to present a battle of Zebra warriors defeating... Equestrian Infantry? Anyways, you have a menu before you. Breakfast items include spiced and boiled yams, fried plantains, stew, and so forth. The waiter who comes by is a relatively attractive blue-eyed zebra with a white dominated set of stripes. "What can I get for you?"
Assuming Iron is literate. Which I probably shouldn't assume. If that is not the case, the waiter explains this instead of Iron reading it

Just an FYI for the GM if he doesn't know, Spark gave him 500 Bits at the tavern before they left. In case you were wondering.

Silver speaks to his comrades, before heading up to the counter. "You two should browse, get good idea of what you need." When he turns to the shopkeeper, he starts listing off a few potions he needs: 2 potions of Cure Light Wounds, 2 potions of Magic Weapon, 2 potions of Shield of Faith (+2), and 2 potions of Hide From Undead.

Iron smiles. "I see. I suppose Obere will be busy for the time being." He shrugs. "Well, I will wait for the food, then." A scratch on his chin. He sees how many people are currently eating at the other tables.

"Yes, but given circumstances, I would say we do not have many places to have to look. There are only so many places kirin nun would be." Silver grabs his new potions, offers his thanks to the shopkeeper, and motions for the gang to follow as he steps out of the shop. "Come. We go to Cathedral. Father Maren there might have guidance for dealing with undead. And who knows, perhaps they know of this kirin we seek."

Iron chews it with gusto, feeling the sweetness of the food on his tongue. He gulps it in. "Wow, this food is really good." He then grabs the plantains by chunks, a little too eagerly, and munches them down rather quickly until all plantains are gone into his stomach. After this, he drinks all of the water in one gulp. "Ah~ That did the trick." Iron looks at Blanche. "That was great! Who made this food?"

Blanch comes up to him with another very familiar looking Zebra. Black Cauldron, by the looks of her smile, is both Awkward about about what happened yesterday, and somewhat pleased to see that he came now
"My talent for mixing things extends to spices, you know. But that would be Onyen"
>>79635
There is no pony there immediately to great him

Iron waves "Hey Cauldron! Nice to see you again. Your tip really did the trick." Iron pulls out 100 bits and hands them over to Blanche. "Here, you and Onyen deserve it." He motions for Cauldron to sit down on his table. "I remember you made some potions as a side business and I want to buy some, if you can notice the bruises on me." Iron pulls up his chin, remember that sick uppercut Rover gave him.

There's no pony there. It's an empty building. Wait.
A somewhat fat colt/stallion comes out wearing white clothes. His voice is kind of high, and he seems very happy to see Silver and his friends
"Hi! Do you need something? Sundew should be back any minute. Do you need a prayer? Incense?"
>>79643
>>79645
She bluches, and moves her head back, while her tail curls around her sitting in the seat
"D'aww, Dark Star. You're so sweet"
>>79643
She takes a seat, and you can see on her face that she's a bit uncertain
"I make some, yes, and could even make more. What do you need?"

Silver lets out a sigh of relief. "We were looking for Father Maren. We are going to clear undead from Curwhinny farm, and we seek his knowledge on ways to most easily dispatch undead." He scratches the back of his neck as he thinks. "We are also looking for nun. She is kirin, sort of like dragon-pony hybrid, with bodyguard, who is Chincoteague stallion from jungles. I have heard she also has been asking around for information as to whereabouts of lost foals. I am not sure if you have heard of this nun."

Iron smiles. "Good. But I am going to ask for many potions here, so I suspect it is going to get long if you need to make the potions now. Be sure to stop me if there is any issue with the potions asked." Iron inhales and lists off the equivalent of 4 potions of cure moderate wounds, 3 potions of barkskin +2, and 8 potions of cure light wounds.

All he knows about Iron is that he's from the jungles, so he's just assuming he is from that tribe.
"No, I can assure you I have had plenty of fluids today already. I am pleased to meet you, Deacon Slow Burn." Silver look from one side of the Cathedral to the other before continuing. "I assume, then, that Father Maren is not present. And that you have not heard of this kirin pony."

"I... Don't know what a Kirin is. Who are you looking for? Father Maren should be here. He always stays in the back"
reee the Chincoteague are from the Hayseed forests.... eh, it really doesn't matter that much. It's like the difference between Aztecs and Cherokee. The only people who would give a shit about the distinction are people who aren't white, and people who care about history. To all other white people, they are just small-pox fodder

As for other potions, I may need it for later for the job." Iron ponders. "What do you usually order? I have no clue how any of the food taste like."

Spark follows a bit more calmly, glass still by his side. He wonders if this place would forbid such a thing. He quickly moves it between himself and the deacon.

He is well ahead of Silver

Iron shakes his head. "I actually was getting very bored with the job I picked up, so I decided to brush up on my right hoof and have a little brawl. You could say I did it for fun." Iron smiles. "Like you may go for a drink with friends or something." Iron lays back on his chair. "That dog Rover sure has some technique, it was a pretty close fight, but I barely won."

"That is one weird pony..." With that thought passing through his mind, Silver clears his throat. "Hello, Father Maren. I am sorry for having awakened you. My compatriots and I, we are going back to Curwhinny farm, to finish job, and dispatch undead from area. We are hoping that you might be able to provide guidance as to best way to do this, or perhaps let us know of weakness we may exploit."
"In addition, we are looking for somepony. She is kirin nun, with native bodyguard. I have heard she was asking around about lost foals. I hope you have heard something about where we might find her."

"Yes, very serious gossip, and it does relate to the ship stealing business. There is a general belief that Pransisco organized the heist. At the very least they thing some of his men did.

Ash feels a tap from behind. It's the colt, who has been on her back basically for the last 30 minutes, and he wants to be held. Ash likewise remembers her dream, how Abby was replaced with a hideous monster

She picks up another plate, and rears a little bit to slide the Colt's weight off on her neck and onto her back
"But if you feel awkward playing with them now, just watching them could be a good place to start. If you're nice, they might ask you to join them." She continues, ask she finishes the dishes

Iron nods, taking in this new information. "I see." He ponders for a bit longer, thinking if he should try his luck and asking Cauldron about the two recruits the Waterfront Gang have received from the batch of foals. He also wonders when the food's going to show up.

Her eyes soften sympathetically at those words
"I'm sorry. All the foals here were separated from their parents when they were very young; they don't have families of their own, so they rely on each other for support. That's why it's important to make friends, not just so that you can feel accepted, but so that others can feel cherished too. You see, all the ponies here have lost something, but through their connections, they're able to endure."
She kneels down to face him
"I know I can't fill your mother's place, but if you'll accept me, I can be your friend." She say, reaching a hoof out over his shoulder

Iron attempts to drink the soup, trying hard not to burn himself. Of course, he is new to this kind of flavour, so he's going to take his time with drinking the soup. "Hey, I got a question for you. Do you know the pony responsible of training new recruits is in the gang?" he whispers. "I heard some of the foals the client is looking for have been taken for training in the Waterfront Gang and I want to take them out of there back into their previous location."

Turns out it was owned by the Waterfront Gang and they had sold about 5 foals, two of them went to these mademares you told me about. I thought that maybe you would know about it since you guard many places and maybe you could have witnessed those foals. Sadly I do not have their physical descriptions. I only know they are foals."

Iron thinks. "I think it was a sister from the orphanage that sold them. Or at least she was taken with the foals. Those foals that came with the sister. Orphanage had crippling debt so the gang took 11 to 12 foals and the sister in question. Other sisters claimed she was corrupted by the debt situation so she did something drastic." Iron tries to remember the sister's name that was taken and what was the deal with her and the foal job. Thyme told both him and Ash her name.

Iron smiles.
Well, damn. Chalk it up to bad memory.
I had hoped that Cauldron could be a piece to retreive the two foals. Maybe I went a bit overboard.

Iron is a bit confused. "First of all, what bar are we talking about? Secondly, what's the stallion's dark desire he seems to have?"
Unless you're planning the stallion to have a changeling in there, I don't think it will be much of an issue. After all, he may be a horny bastard, but knows that sex itself is meaningless without the conception of foals. What are you worried about exactly?

Iron, having heard the information about the two made mares, now sits down, a bit more relaxed. "That will surely become useful when the time comes." Iron leans back. "Let us go back to a more casual tone, any hobbies in particular that you do apart from cooking and potion making?"

Come on GM, I did the math correctly this time. It's just 600 more and dividing 3000 by 2 gives us exactly 1500 so Cauldron can feel she owes Iron even less than before. Pretty please can I has 2 more potions?

Sister Ash stands up and pats her head
"Ah, but the way you went about it was wrong." She chides, impervious to the Filly's discontent
"And you're better off learning early on than later that actions have consequences, especially concerning magick. This is the ready way, despite how it feels."
"I wouldn't expect you to understand immediately, but I hope you take some time to think about it."

"Oh Dark Star, how could any such question be out of the blue?" Once she says that out loud, her face changes to a sort of "I see what you did there"
"Have you no faith in our coming victory? And if my time in East Equestria has taught me anything, it's that just because you've won the war, does not mean you've won the peace. You need to plan out your endgame before you fight.
Now why would the Griffins be our allies and the Changelings our enemies? The Griffonian empire regularly raped, raided, invaded, pillaged and destroyed the pony lands of the east. But for the strong Pegasi warriors who held them back, they would all be subjugated.. Even now some of their... 'progressive' factions fight against the Equestrians of the eastern continent. The Changelings however, fought against the aggressive Princesses, and bared the bulk of the fight. If anypony deserves the title of 'greatest ally'..."

She stands up and walks closer to Dark Star. Then, she flips her tail and rubs it right over Dark Star's muzzle, in front of his eyes
"The griffins most definitely have not. They've always eyed our territory greedily, hungry for what we have. And they have tried their best to take it... many times. They've warred with us then and now. Their 'Aquellia,' in particular not only does not respect the destiny of ponies, but does not even respect the culture, tradition, and history of griffins. Remember that it was griffins on the docks supplying weapons to Communists, and it was a Griffin from the east who was here helping to train the Communists"

For refernce, the geo-political situation I am using here is essentially a historical EaW playthrough, with a player taking New Mareland, chosing Fascist, and then expanding into south-east griffonia - a path that will inevitably result in Aquellia and later Equestria, and usually also Skyfall declaring war on you. The historical option also has results like Nimbusia becoming Reformist, Genocidal griffons taking over Hellquill, that Merkel pony thinking she's important, weird things in Greneclyff, and so forth

"True, you are right about that. New Mareland does care about its ponies. They do protect themselves. They had relied on Celestia to protect hem for half of a millennia. After Celestia changed her management style, and after the fall of the Griffin empire, it became obvious that Celestia would not protect her ponies. . Neither from aggressive and iconoclastic griffins, nor from disruptive immigrants, nor from economic depression and want. So that is when they decided to forge their own path, free of the Princess. And in the process of their self defense, they saved half of Equestria - including you - from being Chrysalis's livestock
But you are wrong about one thing. They do care about me. And I don't mean The Duke. In fact, to be honest, I've always been suspicious of ponies with bones growing out of their heads. No, it was Halcyon Shores, Governor General of the Baltimare district, who took me in. Back then he was just a major, but he saw my potential, and the potential of many like me, cast out of our countries from social change. I have lost not one but two homes to progress and equality. It was Halcyon Shores who gave me a new chance. A new homeland, and a new purpose. To root out communists and progressives who would rot and destroy society from within. And I knew in him I had found a devoted Reactionary. One who would not allow the decay of the old traditions nor a weakened stance against foreign enemies.
No. I don't like all New Mareland values, as they are by and large
Equestrian values. They have an idea of pony equality, where unicorns are more equal than others and tend to run things, those freaky pegasi with bat wings are allowed to be generals, and even earth ponies can join the secret police" *pets Dark Star* "But that is what they have done for over a thousand years, and in all their other actions, they resist the degradation of the natural order"

Iron smiles. "It fits great. Thank you. I shall not disturb your work." With that, he starts leaving the wood shop for his room. He needs to suit up and it's going to take a while.

"And there you have it. One loyal soldier for whom the bond to his race and country does not end even as he wakes up under a New Mareland Heaven. One lonely, loyal troop, devoted to stand against the swarms of Chrysilis, and if necessary, die, rifle in hoof, facing the enemy.
Now, imagine if he had some Equestrian comrades? Imagine if he had many, joined by all the resources of Griffonia. New Mareland is a tiny nation with a tiny population. It needed to expand to gain the resources to survive. It must continue that expansion. But when that is complete, and free ponykind stands as one against Chrysilis... They shall be a force far more formidable than any the old Equestria could have mustered."

He looks right at Blue, his face rather emotionless as he speaks. "No. When Chrysalis invades, New Mareland will not send anypony to help. They have too many enemies in Griffonia, and too few forces spread well too thin. They can not afford war with Chrysalis without risking everything." He points at Dark Star. "He will fight." He points at himself. "I will fight." He puts his hoof down. "All Equestrians will fight. But you are fool if you believe New Mareland would care enough to risk everything to send aid. We are alone in this fight."

"Silver, do you realize why they are so ready to please Chrysilis? Do you see now why they are absentee landlords? They send all their troops away because they must. They must secure their footing on Griffonia now. They must gain resources. They must buy time with Chrysilis so that they may make war later in Equestria.
Chrysalis is a demon that ponykind must stand united to slay. And the swift dive bombers and ponies of New Mareland are not an ally to be dismissed out of hoof"
>>80043
*cuddled fillie noises*
At this moment, Ash can understand. She, like so many foals at the orphanage, needs a mother to love and protect her

"And when Chrysalis realizes that all of New Mareland's troops are in Griffonia? That their navy has just been decimated? That prize she so desperately desires is ripe for the taking, with only broken and demoralized Equestrians, left in wake of loss of their country, to defend continent from her armies?
"And when Griffonian Empire decides they want their ancient lands back? All of them? When griffons in New Mareland's conquered territories decide it is better to join with their own kind, than to submit to ponies?"

Like I was going to have him go investigate a den of Changeling spy activity in Baltimare decoded in the suitcase, but then realized that it would be smarter to not arrest them so as to not tip of the Changelings, but rather to monitor them. And other instances, mostly observation, planting listening devices, and making arrests or killing a single pony

"Thank you." Silver steps through the doors to the orphanage, only realizing a second too late what the image of a group of armed and armored ponies like them just walking inside without a worry must look like to a bunch of nuns and orphans.

>>80056
Very light. She's rather thin and dainty for her kind. Might have had something to do with extreme fasting, or maybe it's her just generally being on the small side.
I'm sorry guys.. It's just not going to work tonight.. I'm sick as a dog..

Iron catches Ash in her descent. He is worried, but does not really know what else to do. He shrugs, not worrying so much. She may have exerted herself too much or something. He places her on his back gently. 'Sleep well, Ash.'

Well, I suppose now we wait for Ash to liv before we can continue.

He's certainly strong...for a unicorn, and heavy set, though it looks to be mostly muscle rather than fat. He looks tough, too, maybe even tougher than Iron, like he could take a real beating.
Silver, for his part, tries not to look confused by this particular rule. "We are going to clear undead from crypt near Curwhinny Farm. I have heard from others of this group that Ash has been willing to help in past, so we were in hopes that she might aid us in this pursuit."

Please. Please tell me why you think you the right to assume that you and you alone can dictate who can and cannot touch a mare who never gave you permission to handle her"

"Secondly, we have not even kissed yet, while you surely have gone up and procreated with Star already, so do not go around accusing others of using people as toys. Third, you are treating her as a toy yourself, thinking you should get authority over her because you said so.

He takes the bottle, not wanting to litter. "There are not many holy orders like that left. Paladins are very rare breed, these days. Once, before my time, perhaps you could find Holy Orders in Severyana, but that is because we have historically been very religious, compared to rest of Equestria. But Reds have seen to their final demise. Only ones I have ever even heard of existing anymore are in Northern Griffonia, fighting against undead hordes of that Dread League. Even then, all I have heard are rumors, or rumors of rumors."

"That is because your tools did the job for you. Probably the tools were invented by other races except your own." Iron is not damaged by her retort. "But you do seem to look at Star as an inferior being. Do you make him fetch for tea or pick up those coconuts you were talking about? Face it, we are the strongest, or else you would not have picked Star as your coltfriend. You have the gimmick of flying. That is it." Iron casually walks diagonally left from Star.

Hell, Dark Star and Shimmer nearly died, but brave little you? You hid atop your roof where it was safe while the others fought and bled and stood in danger. Some brave stallion you are.
This is not my mission. This is Spark's mission. I am here with Dark Star because he wanted me to be. And yes, I do take pride in race, culture and nation, because that's exactly the sort of that you should take pride in"

So your friend here can dispense with his haughty 'I am better than you' attitude until he's done something to prove it"

"And to answer your question about Dark Star: no, I did not chose Dark Star for his physical strength of muscles. On that front he is a bit... less than average. But Dark Star was indeed chosen for me because of his strength. It's a different strength from something as petty as flesh. He has devotion to a cause. Loyalty. And bravery.
On the docks, after somepony was foolish enough to think that he could sneak attack a seasoned griffin, I drew attention to myself by shooting Redclaw in the back of the neck. It was either that or let Redclaw kill the cowardly fool, but it resulted in my being chased and shot at from the pier all the way towards the mill.
Enter Dark Star, who happened upon a griffin and a pony chasing and shooting at me. That griffin was no ordinary griffin, but an NMAC reservist whose name shall be forgotten save as 'black feathers.' Like me, Dark Star did not need to risk his life giving away his status as hostile to them. And yet he did, and he stared down both communists with his pistol. It was a choice that cost him. He was shot right though the belly by a rifle. But he shot 'Black feathers' right in the face, killing him and wounding the other for me to kill. Now I don't know if I would have died otherwise, but I can safely say Dark Star saved me from danger.
Because that is the kind of pony Dark Star is. The strength of leadership to assemble a team, the strength of intellect to lull his opponents into a false sense of security, the strength of loyalty to risk himself to save a comrade, and the strength of bravery to stare down a reservist as he himself is shot. That is true strength. That is why my superior chose Dark Star.
But if you're asking why I am with him now, well, he chose me"

No, just because you used a feat to summon an animal doesn’t mean you get to combine that feat with the dog’s natural die and the bonus die if you then claim it doesn’t magically disappear as summoned animal are supposed to, but becomes your companion animal.
Dog has 4 hit die - two natural, 2 bonus from status as a companion animal - and a statistical average of about 26 HP. You cannot claim a summoned animal bonus to a companion animal

Adding it to the Dexterity score immediately increases Silver's AC by 1 as well as his ranged attack score. Investing it in strength or con could pay off, but not until much later. I think that racial debuff to strength may be a bit harsh, as it decreases the damage roll by about 2.
I was thinking about Silver's optimal weapon choice.

I might just put it in Strength, regardless of whether you decide to keep the racial debuff at -2 or drop it to only -1. Dropping it to -1 would certainly make the decision easier as he would be at +3 Strength bonus, but either way he could really stand to have more Strength.

Hmmm... If this is the case, then the benefit for fighting melee over firearms is, well, not great for silver.
He gets a +2 on attack rolls, and 2d6+3 damage rolls for the greatsword not counting weapon specialization and weapon focus
However, he gets a +3 on attack rolls and a 2d8 on damage rolls for the bolt-action (Lavender) rifle. That's only a single point less than what he gets on average for the greatsword. If he has 16 strength, then he gets another 1 on both damage and attack on greatswords, and adding the point to dex gives him +1 on attack with rifles

Yeah, like I said, I haven't exactly made him into a good character stat-wise. For his backstory, though, he hasn't had much experience with firearms. His father was a melee purist, having served in the Royal Guard as a quartermaster at a time when the most advanced firearms in standard service were breach-loaded rifles and a skilled melee specialist could still perform adequately. Though with him being an earth pony and being much stronger than Silver it's much easier for him to be so. Silver learned how to fight from him, and his father taught him as much about earth pony fighting styles as he could, but without that earth pony strength, he'll likely never be able to fight quite as effectively in that way.
He knows how to operate basic firearms, with bolt-actions being the most advanced he knows, but he's never actually owned one until now. He's used them before, picking them up off the ground from fallen enemies, when not doing so would leave him defenseless against a ranged opponent, but otherwise he's always relied on bringing his opponents into situations where his talents shined the best. Close range combat where using firearms put an opponent in disadvantage. One-on-one fights with only one direction for his opponents to attack him from. Using his surprising agility to dodge weak bayonet strikes and to counter with a powerful cleaving attack immediately after.

When they arrive at the property, they find it similar to its appearance yesterday. A fence surrounds the property, one farmhouse is in a collapsed condition, the other was demolished utterly more than two centuries ago, and probably at least half of the quarry is above water, with a definite hole in its side. One thing that is different is that because it is 10:30-11:00, almost the whole inside of the quarry is illuminated, whereas the last afternoon it was largely covered in shadow. There are workers and machines on active construction sites on adjacent properties

Surrounding the quarry is some police tape, and some large machines that evidently drained water. There is a stream bed that once ran into the quarry. Recall that this was an artificial lake for over a century
The quarry is approximately an L shape with the fat side facing south and the skinny-side running east. In the south east side of the quarry, submerged in a few feet of water, is a bomb of the type dropped from a plane, and unexploded. The quarry has layers that are 20 feet wide and ten feet taller than each, which are deeper closer inside the quarry and to the south, and higher up on the north face of the Quarry. On the north side is an open tunnel. You can see the remains of wooden panels and some rocks by the tunnel that once covered the entrance. While the entrance isn't quite a straight line to the old farm house with the well in between, neither is is far off from being so

Well, there's always power attack to give guaranteed damage to be on par with medium dice rolls for strength. My shield and armor should deflect most hits by the mean zombies, except maybe sucking my soul, which surely does not have nice, sexual kind of tones.

If you want soul sucking with sexual overtones we can do that in this campaign, just not in the catacombs

Iron shrugs it off. He moves his head to look forwards now, shield not acting as full cover since the zombies would get the element of
surprise if he walks straight into one.

"Spark, was it? What did you find exactly in here apart from the zombies?" He asks without looking back at him, armor shining as a beacon of sorts.

Well, this has been another session of Iron needlessly threatening and mocking my NPCs without any thought, which left me with three options
1. Continue and basically reward Iron for being a complete ass by letting him do things while the Silver character, who actually deserves to play, is forced to babysit
2. Have the Iron character specifically encounter 1 or 3 of those CR 7 undead with touch attacks that are “roll fortitude save to avoid permantlu losing a third of your wisdom, strength, or constitution, and you die when you run out”
3. Just stop responding, halt the game, and hope he wasted time
Option 1 was entirely intolerable and out of the question. Option 2 was tempting, but option 3 won when s friend messaged me asking to go to a bar in the city before last call. And this my absence
tl;dr Iron I hate you

Iron can babysit Ash if you'd like. It's his duty to protect her after all. Silver can go back and play and stuff.

The main disadvantage to fighting unarmed is that it's not a two-handed weapon. Two-hamded weapons are much better for strength-based fighters, unless you interpret the Monk's unarmed combat ability to cause the Unarmed Strike to count as a 2-handed weapon.
Also, some undead are only affected by magick weapons, so you're going to want a set of magick guantlets somewhere down the line.
Although, now that I think of it, I really should have prepared magick fang..

That's why I was keeping the armored hoof part. It counts as a gauntlet itself.

Alright, when GM comes, I'll make Iron, in a fit of jealousy, go back and be with Ash after hearing Skies will be going out and Silver offering himself to protect her.

It's ok. The party is actually somewhat ready to fight the undead now, with some anti-undead stuff to throw or coat weapons with.
They can coat their weapons with holy water to increase damage, right?

I don't think so. Silver has a couple Magic Weapon oils though, if someone needs a +1 enhancement bonus on their weapon.

Enhancement bonus is the most basic kind of magick bonus. It adds it's number to whatever roll or value it's designated.
A +1 enhancement bonus to attack rolls is exactly what it says: +1 to attack rolls.
Enhancement bonuses to weapons are usually +1 to attack and damage rolls. Masterwork weapons have a +1 enhancement bonus to attack rolls only.
Enhancement bonuses from multiple sources to the same value absolutely do not stack by any means.

There are other kinds of bonuses too.
Magick Weapon is a spell that's useful at lower levels, when the party may have not had the chance to purchase magick weapons. Certain creatures may take reduced damage from non-magical weapons, and other creatures may not be harmed at all by non-magical weapons.
Also, can I get a quick rundown on the situation? Particularly what the objective of the mission is, and who the party is working for?

The situation is that there's zombies, ghasts and other undead spawning around this quarry and ranch area. We are tasked to stop this influx of undead once and for all. I don't know who is the employer in this situation.

Only particularly high-difficulty undead can do that.. This could be a challenge.. Glad I put those ranks in Religion lore.

I'm not really sure if the spawner is alive or not. Maybe it's the remains of the spawner's undead. I think they sent an army in there but failed to clear the place out. Also I think the owner wants to reclaim the place with little to no damages so dynamiting the place was not considered.

Alright, I am going to post the last update for a while. While I may or may not be able to play today, I can very safely say that I don't want to. While I would like to be able to pretend that what follows is directed generally and to no person in particular, I can't. It's directed at one player specifically.
A character that is constantly acting superior to everyone else, making insults in every line of dialogue, and threatening other characters when there is no fucking reason at all whatsoever to do so is really unfun to play with.
While it would be nice to say "oh, there's a disconnect between the character and the player, so we don't have to be affected by what happens or what is said to the character" it's just flatly fucking wrong for two reasons. First off, and less importantly, you are not interacting with the character. You are interacting with the human puppeteer controlling the character's actions and dialogue. So while it would be nice to think that the player is always indifferent, this is a fiction that breaks down when an action or line of dialogue is particularly uncalled for, or when it keeps happening in every single solitary fucking scene. The second and more important reason why it is impossible to be indifferent to a character that is always an extreme asshole to other party members and certain important NPCs is that the entire point of creating these characters is to like at least some of them and to care what happens to them. So yes, if you like someone's character, you care if they are threatened randomly and for no reason. The fact that it's the DM controlling the victim character (where it's an important character) does not change any of the above facts.
Characters are supposed to be the protagonists of the story. They are supposed to be characters that you want to succeed and root for. If they are constantly arrogant when there is no reason for it, giving insults in every line of dialogue, making threats to people who are only trying to help them and are obviously non threatening, and doing all of this to characters you have an investment in rather than to throwaway NPCs - then you won't be rooting for that character. You'll be rooting for the zombies to brutally murder that character.
Don't give the bullshit defense of 'oh, the character is one that is intended to be unlikable if you met them in real life.' Because if that is so, then don't be shocked when other people hate the character when that character acts in such despicable ways towards characters which we actually do like. Unlike in real life, where you can just avoid that person, talk shit about them to others, and fantasize about murdering them while trying your best to never see them ever again, in an RP, you are stuck with them. Like a family. The only way to get away is to either make the murder fantasies a reality, or to quit.
I can safely say that I have never hated a ship more, nor more actively rooted against a ship than Iron-Ash. And while I am not sure if I have ever hated a fiction character more than Iron, I can safely say he's heading there, and I absolutely want to see him suffer.
Like why, the actual fuck, is the first thing he says when he sees Silver "do not touch her." Was there any hint at all that he had any desire at all to do so? Why does he get to be a dick about the treatment of Ash when he does not actually have a special relationship with her above the rest of the party? Why does he have to try to load a personal insult into every single line of dialogue with Blue Skies like he considers her his definite inferior? And I frankly don't give a shit if there are 'valid' reasons for these, because regardless it's not fun, it only makes me angry.
And for the cherry on top of all of this was when Blue Skies volunteered to babysit Ash (which is an entirely unnecessary thing to do in the first place because she is fine in the basement). She's taking time out of what she's doing so that Iron can go into the catacombs and basically play the game, which was a decent enough solution to the entirely unnecessary insistence that she have a babysitter. But not only does she not get a thank you, she first has a second character left behind with her, the dog, as an open sign by Iron that he does not trust her. This was an understandable enough act, even if from a game mechanics perspective it's utterly stupid to leave behind your only good spotter and sniffer in a group that does not have a rogue. And now here it is, an act so incredibly beyond the pale of good taste and common sense that I am still dumb founded: Iron threatens her not to do something to Ash. Why, the actual fuck, would Iron threaten her? She just did him a massive favor in offering to guard her. He already left behind a dog to help guard. And why, oh why in all of the actual fucks, would Iron think that she had any motivation to harm her? She's a female with no observed homosexual tendencies. there is no reason to think that she would molest Ash. Ash has nothing to steal. Why would she be motivated to harm Ash? The only conceivable motivation she could possibly have to harm Ash is to indirectly harm Iron in revenge. And throwing threats at her when she's fucking helping Iron and being nice to him is only going to increase that motivation, not cause her to stop.
And no, having Iron be irrationally jealous of the old man guarding his not-girlfriend doesn't solve that problem.
I think that this pattern of behavior has been motivated in part by two fictions the D&D mechanics perpetuate. The first is that when a character has a decent number of levels, they have enough HP to survive even a strong knife hit or gunshot without serious consequence, when of course in real life that would never happen. The other is the fiction that when a character has on steel plate that covers all of the body except the head or neck, that it would be impossible for a person to walk up behind them and slit their throat or execute them by shooting them in the back of the head. This too is a fiction of the D&D mechanics, because it obviously has no place in real life. I may need to suspend both of these, as well as bring in anti-tank rifles, if it's necessary to discourage saying and doing things that in real life would cause you to be murdered
Finally, I shouldn't even need to say this, doing the behaviors described above out of character also causes hate. It's not a hate of the character, it's a hate of (you), the player, because you can't hide behind the character, obviously, when you are out of character

Hey, just to note. Ash doesn't really need to be babysat at all. The comment I made about her fainting from malnutrition was just a joke I made as an excuse for why she wasn't being responsive, since I was sick as a dog and couldn't control her effectively.
I mean, if the party were to go ahead without her, she'd be fine. She can take 10 on a survival check to avoid random encounters while she's just standing around for no reason.If all hell broke loose, she could just turn into a badger and hibernate underground for 5 hours.
Please don't take any detours just because I couldn't play.

Oh hey, you're back. You asked for a quick rundown, so here's what I know, or at least the extent of it: the area is owned by a pony looking to develop the area, made up of old farmland and a large quarry turned into an artificial lake, into real estate. After the quarry, they found a tunnel filled with undead that made any projects in the area impossible to complete. These undead are the results of experiments by a one Joseph Curwhinny, a slave trader and farmer who had an interest in necromancy and obtaining forbidden knowledge. At least one group of vigilantes had rallied to try to stop him over 200 years ago, and failed. So far, we've found two ghasts that had escaped from a pit (now dead), an EDF soldier that had been turned into a ghast by these two (also dead), three more in a second pit that haven't escaped, one ghoul in a third pit, a number of jars containing the soul-infused ashes of long dead ponies, who were likely necromancers themselves, one empty sarcophagus that used to house a mummy, and three skeletons that were summoned upon us reaching the crypts in the tunnels underneath Curwhinny Farm (all so very much dead).
>>80517
I know, but it wouldn't really make sense for the party to completely abandon her. And if she woke up, I doubt she would know where to go or what to do if there wasn't someone around to fill her in.

Well shit, if you paid that much I may as well make it worth your money
The area where Ash wakes up is a basement of an old destroyed house. There are two giant holes that are entrances, the walls are brick, and the ground is tile. There are leaves and detritus on the ground, and the roof is held up only by granite bracers. There is a door that leads down to a smaller, deeper cellar. That area is stone on both the walls and the ground. There is a slab that covered over an entrance into a tunnel with stone steps, although that might have been re-covered. At least Caleb is in the room, she might catch Blue Skies as she exits stage right, and maybe Silver

Fucking farmers and their insistence on undead labor...
Well, if the ghouls he created are still about, they must have been trapped somewhere dark and damp they couldn't struggle around and hurt themselves (since they have no means of healing). The fact that they were all created by the necromancer in charge has probably kept them the ghouls from trying to eat each other. Best to investigate this pit and how deep it goes.
Considering he was "experimenting", there might indicate that he has some more powerful types deeper in the crypt: those who may be capable of creating spawn.
The jars of soul-infused ashes need to be dealt with immediately. If they're what I think they are, they may have been trapped for centuries, and need to be reposed. An evil caster or a spell-components dealer would pay quite a heavy price for them, but the party doesn't know that (well, Sister Ash might, but she wouldn't tell you that).
The sarcophagus is a note of concern, because I doubt the necromancer who owned the place had any use for an empty sarcophagus. The mummy who laid there may still be about, possibly mistaking the dungeon for a crypt it was embalmed to guard. Heck, it might have even been convinced to go back into the coffin and await his purpose, had it not be needlessly broken while he was away... e_e

Fucking farmers and their insistence on undead labor...
Well, if the ghouls he created are still about, they must have been trapped somewhere dark and damp they couldn't struggle around and hurt themselves (since they have no means of healing).

Necromancy (of most kinds) is an evil magick, which is primarily concerned with the production of slaves.
The myths concerning zombies actually originated in Africa (where Voodoo comes from): niggers feared rumors of witchdoctors poisioning them and trapping their souls inside their bodies, so they'd be forced forced to work in their fields all day and night.

Exactly what was raised on the property has not been disclosed to Dark Star. He only knows that it has been referred to as a 'farm,' slaves were taken there, and one of the letters said something about feeding the ghasts cattle

If this area used to be forested or partly forested, those trees are gone now, bulldozed when the adjacent properties were bulldozed.

No, the jars remained where they were left. Except for one jar of ashen-salt, which Silver just casually poured into his bag, which made an ominous as hell noise when so moved

Assuming she actually goes down, the tunnel spans about 80 feet perhaps. In this section is the decomposing corpse of a pony, in full military garb, about six months decomposed. Further down is an area where there seems to have once been a door, which clearly rotted and was kicked down or through, or otherwise was destroyed. After that, the tunnel widens a bit, and there is a fork, one going directly right, the other going directly left

Assuming this means that she goes left in that tunnel, she eventually walks over top of a completely degraded skeleton with a leather jacket and a musket lying next to him, before coming upon a partly broken door which leads to a separate, wider hall. There are dozens of spent bullet shells on the ground.
Mind you that there is no natural no artificial light in the cavern. Whatever light Ash is supposed to have only illuminates maybe a few feet in front of her and to her sides. If there is a lich standing 20 feet in front of her and staring right at her, she can neither see it well nor is she paying attention well enough to notice it

Blue Skies decided to careful walk down the hallway after them. When she gets to the split, she stares into the darkness of the left hallway. She pulls out her pistol and aims down it, ears errect and eyes fixed. After a few seconds, she turns away, tail down, and canters away quickly

the problem with Silver's horn is that it spreads light in all directions. This means he can at least see the walls of the hall, and helps when in the rooms, but means that the light dissipates far ahead of him

Ash has not been murdered by unseen attackers thus far.
when she enters she can see that it is a square room with a table on the right side, restraints and shackles on the left wall. On the far wall is an entire wall of jars, many of which contain a blue and white salt looking substance. In the center of the room is a pit with a circular wall around the entrance, making it look kind of like a well in the center of the room. This one has a board going from the side of the 'well' to the ground inside. It looks like this entire room was once boarded up, judging by the presence of broken wood

Yup. TBH, I looked at the Light spell in the wiki and made a weaker version for Silver, figuring the most he would be able to manage without much skill or training with magic would be a weakened version. I think the farthest you can see with the full-power spell is 20 feet.
Silver follows Ash into the room, untying the rope he used to climb into the center pit from the broken door frame. "So, what is it you need to do with ashes? Any way I might be of help?"

It's a 20 foot glow, but now that I look at it, it wasn't actually one of my prepared spells.
Sister Ash casts Luminous Armor, and shares it with Caleb. The armor creates light equivalent to a Daylight spell (60 foot emanation). It will last for 5 hours.
She takes 1d2 Strength damage, as the sacrifice component for the spell.
"Ah, this is much better." Sister Ash says with a sight, as a shimmering aura of light envelopes her body.

okay, just know that a very weakened light spell, telekenisis, maybe a weakened 'hand' and another spell that relates to some special talent is about the extent of what I am letting Silver get away with without mage levels.

Sister Ash approaches the jars with a somber expression, and examines several of them individually.
If one were to listen closely, they might notice that she's speaking something softly as she looks over the jars.
Also, may as well make a Spellcraft check to make out any emanation of magick.

Part of the substance in the jars is essentially cremated remains, treated with acid to form basically a salt, as well as some other chemical components for the magic that seem to have an arsenic base. The main magic involved is an evocation to call the spirit of the dead. It does not appear that these salts would form an entirely corporeal being if activated. Ash can't immediately determine what the activation is, but it obviously doesn't require complex magic or a special caster

Blue Skies: "Wait... what is that in your hoof?"
He can see only the note. The remainder of the book is in some sort of crypt 'language' that he cannot read, but contains alchemical instructions
Here is the letter reposted in full, since Silver can read the entire thing:
"Dear Cinnamon Corn,
I have discovered a way of preserving corpses that merits no little attention. By taking a corpse, rubbing it in an herbal and arsenic based solution, and then burning it with the proper spells, any corpse - even one that has been severely degraded, may be turned into a mixture of bone-fragments and arsenic-phosphate salts that may be stored in a simple container. Here is the real magic of this solution - the salt allows the spirit of the deceased to be summoned readily as an apparition, even without Resurrection magic, and then reduced back to a salt just as easily. In this way, you may summon the spirits of the dead even from ancient and decayed corpses
Yours, Joseph Curwhinny
August 6, 762"

"Alright, I may have winged a few alchemical jars. Who knows what they contain, but they may be worth a few bits on some market. I did not take any 'soul' jars. What value would I have with with some random dead pony's soul? And it's not like you all aren't looting as well.

Silver remembers the jars of alchemical substances in one of the rooms. Hearing this puts his mind at ease. "If that was case, you could have just told us."

Eh, not really. Skies tried to hide some alchemical compounds inside jars and is now carrying them with Star as well as offering pay to Silver if he finds more. Apart from that, Ash repaired the sarcophagus and Onyx is or was here.

Silver can see when he enters this room that there is indeed an opening at the top of the room. It's kind of a vault shape, maybe 20 feet tall at the tallest. There is an opening that... yes, seems like a well opening. Immediately beneath it is an opening that looks like an actual well, so that placing a pale down it may result in drawing up actual water, assuming of course, that is what is down there. On the far side of the room, away from where the hallway entered, is a raised stone... thing. Looks like an altar or something. There are a few items of fabric hanging up on the walls. These are entirely faded, so who could say what they once had on them. The walls are very big granite bricks. On the left side, and closer to where the three entered, is a few things. First, a skeleton. This one has more fur on it than the others, and has a part of a jacket with more modern clothing on it. It is smaller than any skeleton seen thus far, more foal sized. It's fur looks ripped. Both of it's rear legs seem to be broken, and it looks like it was facing towards the wall. The wall itself is also note worthy, as it looks like several bricks on the wall have been dislodged by unknown forces, one of which seems to have a cavity behind it. Besides the small skeleton are two things. A rifle, although it looks like a toy, and in its hooves, a locket

Letter:
"Little Alabaster, be safe and have fun on your uncle's farm this summer. Don't give them too much hassle while we are in Canterlot, or else we'll have to come down there, and you know your father will not like that. Try to be safe when playing around the forests and the lake. And be very careful when trying to hunt with that air rifle you got last Hearth's Warming: you could shoot your eye out.
Love, Bridle Mason
Receipt: three saltwater taffies and two pieces of gum purchased at the Nortside candy store for 30 cents, dated June 18, 939

"Star, Skies, get behind me. We will go see what is matter." Silver readies his rifle and grabs his tower shield for the first time since buying it, using it as cover as he slowly makes his way back towards the other hallway.

Sister Ash takes another 5 foot step back behind Iron, still fighting defensively behind cover.
She handles Caleb as a move action, commanding him to take the Total Defense action, and guard her.
She attempts to Telekinetically bludgeon the monster with her flaming torch/club.

Huh, don't you do double damage when critting? So if you roll 12 damage, you do 22 damage, only doubling the club damage itself.

Alright, next round of combat. i know that Caleb rolled for this round, but with a 1 on initiative, I am inclined to make him wait until the next round

Sister Ash telekinetically picks up her greatclub from across the room, in what I assume should count as a move action, still fighting defensively.
She reaches over to Onyx and touches him with Regenerate Light Wounds.
Onyx immediately regains 1 hp, and will continue to do so for another 14 rounds.

Iron, determining the skeleton will probably take the hit, puts all possible points of bonus hit chance into his damage which should be 11 if there's no penalties. If there is,
point it out and the damage will lower and hits with all of his strength.

This appears at the opening, first page, essentially a forward to a longer work
I write this to you, my beloved wife Wood Hill, for though you shall never read it, I hope someday to speak these words to you in person, as they shall explain my next endeavor in life.
It has been seven years now since the plague took you from my arms, as well as little Whinny, Petra, High Sails, and East Wind. I spent that next year unable to leave my room in the old and empty mansion by the shore. I let your father’s business go idle, and left the sea captains unmanaged in my despair. I needed to leave the place where my suffering had occurred. So I traveled across the world on a swift clipper. And in those years of travel, I learned powerful ancient wisdom from the cults of Zebrica and the dark halls of Northern Griffonia. The sight of corpses being stacked 20 high on the streets of Baltimare during the darkest days of the plague of ’47 is and shall forever be burned upon my mind, no more to be erased than your own precious face. I want you to know that though I may have retaken the reins at the head of your father’s business, I have by no means abandoned you nor the foals. Between the alchemy of the Zebras and the arcane necromancy of the North, I have found that there is a way I shall see you again. The veil of death shall be torn down and our world reunited as one. Death itself shall yield when I have perfected my process. I will see you again.
With an undying love,

"Her name was Storm Warning...and she was everything to me." With his magic, he pulls out a picture. It's old, taken at a time when photography was still a relatively new technology, but it is still well preserved, as if it's his most treasured possession.
It's a family picture. On the left is a much younger Silver, in his mid 30s, wearing an old Equestrian military uniform with a lightly-weathered cuirass worn over it. On the right, a pegasus mare, around the same age as Silver, with blown-back hair and an obvious lighting-shaped stripe running the length of her hair from front to back. She's wearing a fairly simple dress, with cloud patterns woven into it. The two, rather than looking at the camera, are looking at each other, with quite possibly the most loving gaze Blue has ever seen. And in front of the pair, are three foals: a teenaged pegasus colt, a young pegasus colt, and a young unicorn filly, all smiling happily and looking at the camera.
