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

>one of the heads
Oh, now I see what it is.
I was confused to how many creatures there were. Ash would have been too, until she got close enough to illumunate it.

Wait...
I'm obliged to mention that I rolled to confirm that crit before taking into account that undead we're immune to crits...

If it just attacked you, you shouldn't have to move.
With you in front of her, Sister Ash still has cover.

Just talk to the GM. He wants to know if you even acknowledge the issue you two have with each other.

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
While I am not sure if Silver and Dark Star could have made it in on time for the second round... Fuck it, roll for initiative, and Caleb, roll again

It's pretty damaged, but not dead

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.

Ok, I think I could attack without leaving full cover, so I'll do that.

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.

The max power attack can add to damage is 5. So only 5 damage from power attack, plus strength, plus weapon specialization. Unarmed is not a two handed weapon. But still, hit, and roll damage

Like 30-40 feet. Close enough to be attacked with a charge, should he chose to attack in that way. Far enough to avoid getting hit should he chose to attack from range

Hmmm... A little too easy even with added HP. I guess I can either just send more monsters, or start sending the "the monster has looked at you. Roll fortitude save to not die. It makes a touch attack, roll fortitude save not to die" monsters that are 2/3 of the undead

Silver trots up to the burning pieces of the skeleton as they're cast into the well. "That...that was chimera...undead chimera..." He seems fairly shocked at what he just witnessed, turning to his companions as if looking for answers to unasked questions. Only one manages to escape. "...they can come in undead form?"

Sister Ash sighs, and gets to work bringing the jars outside.
In a minute or so, she'd be back.
Onyx should have recovered 15 hp.

Iron decides to help out Ash as he needs some steam to blow off after that terrifying creature with some hauling. Good thing the armor stood between him and that beast.

"I did not even think chimeras really existed...I thought they were just foal's tales, kind used to scare young foals before bedtime. And yet, here we are, burning remains of chimera skeleton..." Silver sits down, flabbergasted. "...This is it. This is officially strangest thing I have seen or will ever see in my entire life. This is it, right here..."

"Onyx has been wounded but Ash has put some spell to regenerate his flesh back, so he should be fine. Keep an eye on him. I can spare some healing potions for the stallion if it is needed." Iron says while helping Ash's job.

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.

"What is there for me to say about her that has not already been said? She was...beautiful, in more ways than just her physical beauty. She was as sky, so full of unmeasured promise, so full of hidden fury, so full of love for those within its embrace. She loved, craved freedom, so much like wild wind she was. For her to give it up to anypony was sign of her greatest trust and admiration. She gave it up to me, in her weakest, most vulnerable moment. She trusted me with her freedom, with her life. I took it, and made promise to always be by her side. To protect her whenever I could. We fought thousand gauntlets together, hoof-in-hoof, back-to-back. And we survived it all, because we worked better together than either of us did alone. We saw each other as none others had seen us. We understood each other, at deepest level. She was happy. She was insecure. She was angry. She was caring. She was understanding. She was...
He puts a hoof against the photo, holding it on his lost love. "And she was unafraid of everything, finding joy in darkest places. Death could stare her in face and she would laugh. She would happily face him to protect those she cared about. She did, as it turns out, before her end..."

She places a hoof on Silver's hoof on the photo, and comes fairly close with her mouth open ever so slightly, before telling him
"If I can rekindle just a little bit of that love you have for her now, then she isn't really gone. We live on in the hearts of those we touch and those we effect. And it seems to me that I can still feel her warmth in you"

Silver smiles slightly at this. "As long as I live, that warmth will live on. She completed me, when I did not even know I was not whole. Even as she is long dead, and cold in ground, I still go on with warmth she gave to me, and I shall carry that warmth to my grave. Until day we meet once more, and once again embrace each other into forever..."
