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

>>79570"Aha! I've finally got the hang of this."
Okay, let's figure this out immediately.
How are we going to assemble the party?
>>79580I'll join up with you in the abbey, that's for sure.
>>79580This really shouldn't take that long.
What are we going to do?
>>79584Perhaps thereaplace where they could meet Iron along the way?
>>79584No time to be mopey about bad party management, Silverboi. We want results, not self-deprication.
I think that's how it's spelled Fuck Me
>>79578We'll get em' next time
>>79572The 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
>>79585It 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?
>>79587Eh, I'm not that good at it.
>>79588u looking for a fight, horncolt? i can kick ur flank with one hoof tied behind mah back
>>79574Dark Star Hoofs it to Blue
>>79589Iron nods, then proceeds to enter said restaurant. Hope she knows where his brother is.
>>79590We would do more damage to ourselves most likely with these dice.
>>79594I continue to blame Atlas
>>79594Oh right, you missed the fight with the dog. It was close but I managed.
I didn't forget your kindness for that save, GM >>79591"I'm not supposed to be drinking before work"
She drinks the whole thing in basically one swallow
>>79593When he enters, he can smell roasted vegetables. He is immediately greeted by a Zebra with a blacker than normal coloration.
"Welcome to Ulonri. Would you like a table?"
>>79597Iron smiles. "I would like that, thank you."
>>79597"i wont tell if you dont."
"Well since the stallion gang isnt here, i was thinking of paying Father Maren another visit, maybe i can convince him to help with the zombies."
Because Spark hasn't replied yet...>>79564>>79566>>79567Silver continues to lead the group to the potions shop.
>>79598"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>>79600And when he gets there, the pony asks "How may I help you?"
>>79599"You can do that"
>>79601Well, class wise, he is. Let's go that he can"I would like to order some fried plantains please and some water." Iron pauses. "Say, is Black Cauldron in here? I need to speak with her about some personal inquiries pertaining about his brother's business."
>>79602"Oh, so you know my sister. She'd probably stop by in the early morning. If she isn't here she should be within the next half hour. And we'll have your water right out"
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.>>79601Silver 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.
>>79606"400 bits"
>>79604"What business would I have at a Celestial Church?"
>>79605The one at the door was intended to be male, and the waiter a female... I guess I didn't make that clear >>79607"thats fine,ill go there alone. ill miss you though."
>>79607He sets down four coin pouches, each with 100 Bits in them. "This will cover cost."
>>79607Fuck. Let me change what it was said.Iron nods. "I see. I can wait for her. I am Iron, pleased to meet you." Iron curtly bows. "Do you know if her brother is here too or is he absent as well?"
>>79608"I have business to attend to... Should we meet somewhere?"
>>79609"Indeed"
>>79611He waits for the potions, and for Spark and Onyx to make their own purchases.
Is Spark and Onyx still here, or did they leave? >>79612Onyx isn't making purchases
>>79612Sorry. I'm back.
"Is that everything we need?"
>>79611"how about we meet here, later?"
>>79610"Pleased to meet you as well. I am Blanche. Her brother is Obere, he was the one you met at the door"
>>79604Damn it, I should have had her say "You didn't want to come after we came back to the room last night"
>>79615"How much later?"
>>79616Iron 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.
>>79617"Off to find a kirin and a jungle native then. If this was a small town, it wouldn't be a problem, but there is a lot of ground to cover here."
>>79618Some, though by no means at all crowded. Bare in mind that it is very early hours, and not lunch or dinner
>>79620Iron nods. "Maybe not so busy, then," he mumbles. He waits for either his food or Cauldron to show it or herself.
>>79619"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."
