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

>>79875With a 19 on a wash check? Yes. Ash discovers that the foal is not entirely suited to dish washing, which is kind of what you'd expect from a foal not all that much bigger than the plates, and with barely developed unicorn magic
>>79864Ah, it was worth a shot. Chalk it up to bad math. Well, I think I'm able to travel to the abbey now, right?Iron smiles. "Well, I had fun, Cauldron, but I cannot stay here forever. Let me pay and retreive all of the potions I asked for and I shall be on my way."
For those at the Church, or just leaving it, I figure there are three possible solutions for whatever you were trying to attempt
1. Maren calls in help from a militant order
2. Maren himself joins as a cleric support
3. The party takes the holy water and goes in alone
I didn't know what was intended
>>79877"Very well then. Come back any time you want a taste of something a little less... plain than forest food. Or if you want to see me, I'm here in the mornings"
>>79876Sister Ash thanks the colt for his help, gives him his hug, and proceeds to go check on Abby Willows.
>>79878Pretty sure they were begging for another magic user to help out.Iron smiles. "I will keep that in mind, Cauldron. The food was great, I may become an addict to it." He pulls out the bits specified
Which should be 1200 bits, and hands it to Cauldron, also sneaking a hug with it.
>>79878We were trying for #3, with directions to where Ash was.
>>79879Unfortunately, the colt seems to have exploited this opportunity as a way to reposition himself back on her back. He holds onto her, then climbs her mane, thankfully not tugging the hair very much
Ash finds that the room where Abby is being held prisoner is being guarded by a sister
"What is your business here?"
>>79880He can feel that her body is slim but with a few firm muscles. After a moment, she hugs him back
"Then you may consider me your dealer"
>>79882Iron smiles. "And I am your buyer." He lets go of Cauldron and picks up the potions he had requested. After this, he stashes them in his leather belt and starts heading out for the abbey.
>>79883And thus, it is so. The Ulonri is a little ways away from the abbey, being across town from it almost diagonally
>>79882Ash yanks him off (gently) of her mane, and places him on her back for the trip.
>Less than enthusiastic to walk around the whole abbey with 30 pounds of colt on her neck.She approaches the Abby's room, and greets the Sister with s polite bow.
"I was considering speaking with the youndlg one at this time, if that that would be permissible." She says
>>79884While on his way, he drinks a potion of cure moderate wounds to heal up his bruises. Need caster level aka healing bonus for the roll.
>>79869Yeah. I have been pretty busy today. Hopefully I will be good for the rest of the day though.
>>79888I guess, then, we've just got to wait for Dark Star to return and have his conversation with Blue before we can continue.
>>79885He weighs less than that.... probably, being both younger than most of the foals and small for his age. He holds down on Ash in hugging fashion, as he learns how to ride a kirin bare back
The sister: "We want her to know this is a punishment, but I guess you may speak to her"
>>79886Like a 2 or 3 or something
>>79889They could just walk, really
>>79890Iron drinks one. Rolling damage healed
[1d8+3 = 7]>>79894Iron thinks he should have picked up something stronger. He drinks yet another cure moderate wounds.
>>79892He can feel the bruises healing
>>79894>>79895And two more consumed
It has a minty taste
[1d8 = 8]>>79897Let me throw the other dice.
[1d8+3 = 4]>>79897Finally, he drinks one last cure light wounds to top his healing.
>>79894>>79895>>79896TBH, unless you get in combat and you need healed fast, I don't see much of a reason to buy the bigger health potions.
>>79897Jeez, what a clutter of dice. I hope this doesn't happen againOnly 1 cure moderate wounds and 5 cure light wounds remain. With that done, he continues his trek to the abbey and steps inside.
>>79900I hope I don't have to roll so many dice next time. It cluttered up the thread by a lot I'm assuming onyx is doing a thing?
>>79902I figured he was following the group silently.
>>79902How would Onyx react to the holy water thing?
>>79902Maybe jerking off. If you're follow Spark, you are with Star, Spark, Silver and Skies.
>>79904What holy water thing?
>>79903That's what I figured too
>>79906We bought some holy water from Father Maren at the Cathedral.
>>79906We are getting holy water to melt the undead basically. We also asked around for anypony that knew where Ash went.
>>79907>>79908Onyx would admit it's a good plan, and be fine with going to a church.
I hope I didn't kill the GM with all of that dice rolls.
>>79912Before Iron would advance I want Ash to, and I guess the others could probably do things as well without Star. I guess mostly Ash
>>79913I think we're waiting on Star so we don't end up splitting the party...again.
>>79890Sorry, I've got some kind of pestilent flu and my mind is on fire. I passed out...Sister Ash slowly opens the door of the room.
>>79894>>79895Cure Light Wounds is gay. Lesser Vigor is where it's at.>>79913Sorry.
I should be present for the next hour at least.
>>79916Ash can see Abby. It may not be fair to say that Abby's spirit has been broken. It takes much to extinguish so strong a fire. But she is certainly sulking as she leans down over a desk, using her mouth to lazily and slowly scribble on paper. She looks up at Ash, water making her eyes more reflective. She seems at least somewhat angry at Ash angry at Ash
>>79920Ash steps into the room slowly, taking note of the filly's anger.
"Working hard, I can see." she says, acknowledging the Herculean task
>>79921She looks up at her with a definite frown
“What do you want now?”
>>79922"I came to see how you were doing." She says softly, kneeling down to get closer to eye level
"It seems you've made quite a bit of progress."
>>79923“On the prayers? I guess I have”
Her tone suggests that she has been somewhat offended
>>79925"You look like you're about halfway done. Quite impressive if I'll say." Sister Ash continues
Her tone hasn't changed, but the way she gaxes at the ridiculous stack of papers seems almost nostalgic
>>79926“I only have to do them because of
you.”
