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

>>79824Silver speaks up from beside Star. "Then that is likely kirin we seek."
>>79824"thats the one. what was she here for?"
>>79823She looks at him and carefully takes a sip from her drink
"Oh, there are many plants that can induce sleep. The pollen of the Nightshade flower in particular has a somnolent effect"
>>79825"Maybe."
>>79826"She was attending morning mass."
>>79827"oh. sorry for missing that."
>>79827Silver opens his map, looking for the orphanage Sundew mentioned on it.
>>79827Iron chuckes. "I know, it is shady to ask that type of question. I just do not know much about plants. I once ate a plant that made me very sleepy once, it just came to mind when you talked about botany."
>>79829In a location some where west and slightly south of the present position
>>79828"It was a early morning mass at the chapel of the order in the clerical language. Most ponies don't go to those, only the more... intensely devoted followers. I drive out to the order every morning to lead it"
>>79830"Well, I can't say that given
you there isn't reason to be suspicious. But really there are many good reasons to want to put a pony to sleep. And there is so much more you can do with plants, especially those of the jungles"
>>79832"What is your favorite plant from there?"
>>79832He nods as he closes up his map. "Thank you for your help, Priestess." He looks around to see if the holy water he "purchased" has been prepared.
>>79832"hmmmm interesting. i might attend."
>>79833"Oh well it's hard to specify a favorite plant. The stories of the Liche Mkodo trees of a certain island off the coast of Southern Zebra is said to eat ponies, Zebras and other creatures with snake-vines, to take one fascinating example"
>>79834Maren is carrying in either the holy water or wine bottles
"You are very welcome"
>>79835"Always nice to welcome another pony"
>>79836Iron scratches his chin. "Huh, never heard of that type of plant before." He leans forward. "What can you tell me about your siblings?"
Can he obtain his potions or is it part of the 'no go zone' in place >>79836"Good to know. good day,sundew."
>>79834"Ready to go,silver?"
>>79836Silver takes the holy water as Maren comes by. "You have all been great service. I wish you all best."
>>79838"Yes. I have holy water now, and I have seen location of orphanage on my map."
>>79837He can obtain potions
"They stayed out of the gang, and my father is content to keep it that way. My Brother Obere seems intent to help my father with his Restaurant, although he has also taken on an apprenticeship to be a mechanic, and that is what he will do should this fail. My sister Blanche also works here, though she would rather work with art"
>>79838"Anytime"
>>79839"Well, I can say that I hope I
don't see you later today"
>>79840"Strange, why are you the exception?"
>>79840The joke gets a chuckle out of Silver. "I hope it does not come to that, either."
>>79841"They first offered to take me in at a fairly early age. That, and somepony needed to make money for the bad days"
>>79842"Well, goodluck. Don't let the ghasts bite"
>>79843Iron nods. "I understand. Are the potions ready to be purchased?"
>>79843"Thank you. May Her light always guide your path." With that, Silver leaves for the orphanage.
>>79844"They should be"
She calls over Blanche, who confirms that the curing period has passed"
>>79845It is so
>>79846"Alright, how much for all of it? I need to drink them to be appear to appear a little bit more presentable."
>>79848She laughs
"You were carrying a riot shield into a bar just yesterday, and now you want to be presentable?"
I guess like the SRD cost minus 50% to represent a sort of friendly discount >>79849Iron laughs. "Do not forget about a full set of armor." He composes himself. "I do not want to worry the ponies in my client's location when I get there. They could faint by the state of my body."
It should be 1650 total with the discount.
>>79850As he arrives outside he sees somepony he wasn't expecting to see. She's just arriving
"My date was a no-show this morning"
>>798534 cure moderates wounds = 300*4 = 1200
3 barkskin +2 = 300*3 = 900
6 cure light wounds = 50*6 = 300
1200+900+300 = 3300
3300/2 (50% discount) = 1650
>>79855>>79857Now who's the math wiz?
>>79856Yes
>>79857Okay, I'm more inclined to believe she'd do a 1200 discount so she doesn't feel like she owes anything to Iron
especially after he sort of implied he owed her sex for it >>79858Come 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?
>>79852"Nah i was there. remember."
Judging by the deafening silence of the GM, I would say he went to bed. Don't forget to consider those extra two potions. She may have added that to complete the debt if she wants no feeling of owing something. Anyways, good night.
>>79859No, but he can pay full price
>>79861"No, I mean the pony I was supposed to meet wasn't there"
>>79860Potions cost time and XP to produce. Prices aren't usually negotiable, unless something's wrong with them.
I guess everyone is busy today?
>>79868I mean, there has been a serious lack of posts so far today, especially for a weekend.
>>79869Well, I didn't really have very much to post about until the party meets up, besides meta autism. I could continue the chat about hugs, but I was kind of bored of that.
>>79871Upon his victory, the foal claims a hug as his prize
>>79873Ash can hear a cute little squeaking noise, almost like grabbing a squeaky toy.
For most of the foals, class begins now, and Abby is still in solitary confinement
>>79874Has she finished her first stack?
