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

>>80433"I hope you punch hard and fast. Star, would you mind lending Iron your flashlight?"
>>80431She looks like she wants to be offended, but knows really that she can't
>>80433"Yeah, the undead aren't the dog down at the bar. You're going to want a weapon"
>>80430Dark Star Pulls out his regular revolver and hoofs it to blue
"here you go. just in case."
>>80436She pulls out one from under her wing
"Oh, I already have one"
>>80435"No. I said I would show my strength, and my hooves are the means of which I show it."
Serious talk. Is there more disadvantages from attacking unarmed against zombies in the SRD instead of the usual melee fortitude saves? >>80432"Come on Spark we have to go check out the other end of the tunnel."
>>80437"Alright. try not to shoot Iron."
Dark Star Pats her head
>>80438"Well, I guess I shall see if that works out for you"
Undead are a real bitch because they can suck your soul, drain your strength, your constitution, and basically everything, plus supernatural diseases... Unarmed fighting has a lower damage die than a weapon, so you are likely going to be doing less damage than you could otherwise while being directly in the danger zone>>80439She smiles cutely when he pats
"I would have done it already"
>>80439"Ok."
Cast Light on Iron's armor so it glows for him to see.
"I suggest we go slow and listen for noises."
>>80439"Do not worry. I can take a shot." Iron laughs. "I do not this armor, shield and muscles for nothing."
>>80442"Don't worry, I can aim directly for the head and other soft areas of armored individuals, if only they are non-suspecting" She smiles and almost squeaks
>>80439>>80441>>80442"If we are all going..." Silver sheathes his greatsword and instead opts for his new rifle, loading in a clip and chambering a round. He also lights up his horn to serve as an additional light source.
>>80440Well, 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."Fair enough. Never fought the things before so it is going to be my first."
>>80441Iron starts heading inside the open hole.
>>80443"That is not very nice of you. Do not shoot Ash or you will pay for it." Iron stares daggers at Skies.
>>80446"And do not piss me off again, or
both of you, will pay for it"
Right fucking back
If you want soul sucking with sexual overtones we can do that in this campaign, just not in the catacombs >>80447I'd rather not.Iron keeps staring daggers as he enters the open hole Spark opened up.
>>80448Silver motions for Onyx and Dark Star to follow Spark. "I shall cover rear."
>>80449Something about her eyes makes them creepier than normal eyes
>>80450"are you sure you dont want me to cover the rear?"
Dark Star smiles
>>80453Silver's voice goes deadpan. "You covered my rear enough yesterday, I think."
>>80452Iron 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.
>>80448"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.
>>80456Blue Skies quickly comes up to Dark Star and tells him
"You know, on second thought, I have work to do"
>>80455"Skeletons, but those zombies are no push over. I think Silver called them ghast or something. They are an abomination to all that is good. They have an overpowering stench that weakens you, as well as paralyzing attacks, and don't let it bite you. Dark Star was dying from a infection last time we were here."
>>80457"No funny business with Ash!" Iron shouts as he keeps walking forward, now actually getting out of earshot.
>>80455"Skeletons, mostly. We also found empty sarcophagus. Take that of that as you will."
>>80457Silver sighs at this, and stops. "If you are leaving, then I will stay behind with Sister Ash."
>>80458"I see." Iron keeps walking forward until something else stops him or something.
>>80457Dark Star gives her a kiss
"Stay Safe."
>>80460"If you want to be her bodyguard and guardian, I guess you could. But shouldn't you be clearing the Catacombs?"
>>80459>out of earshotThat's what Iron thinks. Iron thinks wrong
"I have no business with her at all asshole"
>>80464"You better not!" Iron shouts back.
>>80464"Yes, but I do not want to keep Sister Ash alone."
>>80466Caleb barks at Silver to call for his attention.
>>80468He wags his tail and bends his frontlegs playfully. He then approaches Silver and licks Silver's hoof. After this, he sits in front of him, looking at him.
>>80469Silver sits as well, not knowing what to do with the dog. He rubs the back of his neck, feeling a bit awkward about the situation. "Okay...hmm..."
>>80470Caleb wags his tail and accepts the pets. He then goes back to guard Ash, sitting next to her.
>>80471*remove 'and accepts the pets'
>>80471Silver follows him, sitting across from both Sister Ash and the dog. "So...you are dog."
>>80473Caleb is sitting here, looking for any attempts on Ash's life. He does not seem like he can talk like a pony, but he is smart. He barks once after Silver says that.
>>80474"...Right. That was..." Silver sighs and looks down, holding his muzzle with a hoof. "...that was great...observation there, Silver...Ты идиот…"
>>80475Caleb cocks his head sideways in confusion.
>>80476"Ah, do not worry, boy." Silver looks up at him, smiling. "Silver is just berating himself for being stupid. Like now, where he is...talking...to dog..." The smiles slowly goes away as he sighs again.
>>80477Caleb barks again. He then looks which ponies are still in the room except Silver and Ash, of course.
Uh, is the GM alive? I have no clue what's going on right now.
>>80479i think everyone passed out.
>>80480Probably. Getting to that point, myself.
>>80481>>80480I guess. I will be awake for about two and a half more hours.
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
