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 this latest episode, the crew has united once again, and returned in full to the catacombs under the Curwhinny farm. What old secrets they will unearth, whether they will survive without being turned into undead monsters... whether Silver will ever get paid... will be determined in this thread.

"Oh, he'll be fine. He just got the wind knocked out of him."
That 10 damage probably would have really hurt like a bitch though. Ouch.

"There's no shame in two stallions exchanging friendly blows in a match." She says, as she dusts off Iron and pulls out another beetle shell
"So long as they're not wounding each other and they fight in good faith, it's nothing more than a show of strength."

“My brother was brain damaged at an early age because of a joust that permanently harmed his faculties. Now, I have no more love for that son of a bitch than he ever showed for me. But I know a waste when I see one.
Do you realize what you egged on here? These two are not going to be in any position to rescue foals from a child predator. Do you understand that? Your ‘fun’ has doomed at least two foals to another night of molestation.
What a fucking waste”

Also this and the fact I explicitly asked for Skies' permission to brawl with Star,
which got little to no response from Skies in the long run. In fact you encouarged it when Iron was beaten up already.

The pacifist nun shouldn’t be promoting violence that harms the team, and Iron took a healing potion and then changed the rules where he would take the attacks of opportunities in the second fight, hence why Skies was uncertain. Because the circumstances of the fight were different than those which were anticipated

Sister Ash crosses her arms in discontent.
"We weren't going anywhere together so long as the old stallion over there was done catching his breath. They were not having a bout with any intent to do permanent damage to one another. I didn't encourage them; I only helped set the terms for a decision they'd already made themselves." She says, as Iron slowly wakes up
Her eyes narrow as she finishes speaking, in an expression that seems to scream "no u".

Eh, sparring is not really hurting anyone in the long run tbh, specially with hooves. That is only true in games though.
Iron looks at Skies calmly while he stands up. "Do you have anything on Comte, Skies? A routine, some vices to exploit. Any information counts."

She didn't promote it, she just suggested the loser should do community service. If you didn't catch my drift, the 48 hours community service thing was actually supposed to discourage Dark Star (because that's a full week's worth of unpaid labor); because she thought the match was dumb, but still respected their descision.

"Pardon my words. I meant ' more experienced'." she says,

Dueling =/= sparring
Dueling is a vengeful act, that ends in actors killing or seriously wounding one another: It's a lethal match.
Sparring is two combatants exchanging blows in a show of skill, without intent to kill: it's a nonlethal match.
If they had suggested shooting eachother or swordfighting or otherwise fighting to the death, Sister Ash surely would have stopped them. And she only melted Blue's gun because she insisted on shooting or being shot.
And I'd say that in-character, but Sister Ash doesn't believe Blue would understand even if she did.

She's an ex-monk. She watched spars every day back at her temple, even if she didn't participate. Monks would beat each other up in practice, and then they'd shake hooves and drink tea together.
And to set the record straight, Sister Ash is really only a pacifist until she isn't: it's supposed to be an ironic twist that she's just slightly bipolar when it comes to that, which leaves room for her turning into an enraged arsonist every now and then. She isn't lawful, she's neutral. I wasn't bteying to play a perfect character without flaws, just one with good intentions.

Sister Ash gives another bow.
"Age is nothing to be ashamed of. It's natural. Getting older only means a pony has more wisdom to share." She says
"Anyway, so long as you're recovering, it shouldn't matter if those two tassle with one another. It would be better off if we avoided hustle or direct confrontation for today, and devoted the rest of the day to gathering our resources and information. I would like to have a word with the church about what I've heard today, and I would love to meet you tomorrow morning or this evening with a plan for what our next step is."
She bows so hard her nose touches the grass
>*Respect for elders intensifies*
"Words cannot express how much I appreciate the help from all of you in this endeavor of mine. I do not have any means to compensate you for your noble service, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart." She says, addressing the entire group

Alright, the difference to me here here is, Iron and Dark Star weren't trying to kill eachother in this case. That, and Silver had already been reduced to zero hp, so it wasn't any further inconvenience for the party if they (willingly) took nonlethal damage, from my perspective.
Both in and out of character, I think there's a big difference if one of the PCs' life is on the line. I guess it isn't my decision to make, concerning what is the most indisputably righteous thing to do, though. I just acted in the way that I thought my character would.
If I caused a serious problem, I'm sorry. I can't justify everything I've done here.

I can see now that I've fucked up. I thought it would just be a bit of fun, but now I see that things have gone beyond the pale. Idk what else I can say about this matter, but I'm sorry.
And please, know that I have a certain degree of detachment from my character. What she believes do not necessarily refect my own beliefs. What she thinks is good doesn't necessarily match my own moral compass, but a persona I created for her. And most importantly, her attitudes and interactions with player characters do not reflect my own attitudes towards their players: please don't take things personally if something she does or says feels offensive, because it's never, ever my intention to jab at player.

Sister Ash responds with a morbid expression.
"They're ponies. Trapped, tortured, and descrated. I retrieved them in this state from the depths of Curwinney's farm. That wretched, evil, necromancer did this to them." She says, looking over the jars
"He did something vile to them, so they were unable to pass into the next life by themselves, and they've been suffering alone for who knows how long. I have done what I could to repose them formally, bit their torment won't be completed until their remains are properly scattered."
She looks at the mare
"Can I beg your service, in finishing their funeral? I would have reposed them myself, but my knowledge of proper Equestrian morticianism is limited."

"It seems to have been an extensive process to trap the would of the deceased. Necromancy was used in the process, other types of auras were mixed in as well. Copious amounts of embalming agents were used as material components for the practice, and he jars appear to be an arcane focus to hold the powers together."

"I do not know what motivated that evil creature to put them in this state, or why he stored them together in such quantities, but it was certainly a most sinister ambition."

If it was there, I did not see it even in the least bit. Now I wish I had known...
Plots involving lovecraftian horrors sound fun though, especially if it includes killing some Eldritch abominations. It's definitely something a Druid would be committed to. I actually based Sister Ash's background in part in the Gatekeeper Druids from Eberron, who dedicated their lives to suppressing in the lovecraftian abominations of Xoriat (Beholders, mindflayers, and other Aberrations and outsiders). Aberrations and undead are unnatural creatures, and Druids despise them, so some spooky lovecraftian shit to purge from the world sounds like a fun call to action.
Also, Lords of Madness, and the Eberron books have some pretty awesome mechanics and suggestions for lovecraftian villains, plots and monsters. The Book of Vile Darkness has a lot of cool ideas for evil villains, rituals, black magic and cults too; and a lot of contextual tips on creating genuinely evil creatures and characters. You can find all of the PDFs online, if you're interested.

"You would know better than I. All I know is that process is simple enough for non-magic users to summon spirit, and similar to dispel them. Perhaps it is as simple as exposing ashes to open air, then resealing them in jar once you are finished."
I mean, has anyone actually tried punching them?

You have a 5 percent chance at absolutely succeeding anything action you attempt.
Gods aren't a joke though, even in RPGs.
I'm working on the stats for discord as a minimum level deity, and holy draconequius, he's already practically invincible.

Don't worry. I won't attack gods just because I can, but I will try if push comes to shove.
Feel sorry for Iron if that's the case.

He shakes his head no. "Not in legitimate attempt, no. I did almost manage to, while disturbing ashes yesterday, but they settled before they could fully form."

"At least I did not try to lick them." Silver, somehow, manages to say this with a straight face.

Father Maren Disappears to the back and is gone a little longer than would be expected. Sundew remains in there a bit uneasy. Slow Burn is more than a little uneasy, until he starts asking questions
"So you saw, like, Zombies?"

"You're in luck! It hasn't expired yet"
He pours the milk into the Vodka

"We did did precisely that, among other things..." Sister Ash replies, although clearly less enthusiastic about it than the pony, for multiple reasons
"It wasn't pleasant."

Silver smiles at him. His youthful excitement is a nice change of pace from what he's used to. "It is not exactly like zombie novels you have read, I am afraid. Though there is horde of undead in lower levels of catacombs, I am not sure I would want to face them all at once."
>>82595
Silver gets a semi-mischievous grin on his face. "I suppose one could call it 'cool', if your definition of cool is facing certain death in close combat against rotting, shambling, soulless undead whose only desire is to consume living flesh."

The foreign mare seems slightly confused by the pony's choice of words
"I don't know what you mean by that.. but it was certainly an exhilarating experience.."
Her tone darkens
"In each of the four rooms those jars layed in, there were about a dozen screaming ghasts imprisoned in deep pits.. I spent the majority of my time torching their flesh and bashing their skulls in until their bodies ceased to shamble.. It was agonizing work, but it had to be done..."

I'll assume that was for me.
"Deeper in.. there was a rather large skeleton.. the reanimated remains of a Chimera, that was probably captured for experientation.. It took some effort to fell, but it went down rather quickly.." she trails off
"At that point, I was absolutely furious.."

With a further smile, Silver recounts the tale of the battle with 'The Sarge', describing the unsightly appearance and smell of the former EDF soldier turned zombie, the harrowing fight as Silver rushed in to keep the monster away from his companions, the pain as the ghast tore into his flesh with teeth and hooves both, the exhilaration as he swung both hammer and greatsword at it, trying desperately to bring it down, and the final strike that felled The Sarge for good, putting a final end to the long-tormented soul.

Silver raises his foreleg to show where The Sarge had bit him, the fur not having grown back yet allowing him to see the bite mark. "All in all, it was tough fight. Helped me to learn ways to better deal with these ghasts."

Also, she's still covered in extrordinarily bright and shining golden armor, I case anyone forgot.
I g2g for a bit.

"Though, there was one issue during fight. One of my companions lost grip of their pistol as it fired, and bullet ricocheted around room into it came and hit me in a-...hit me in rear." Silver just barely manages to catch himself swearing. He gives Sundew a look suggesting that Slow Burn's still young yet, so this sort of thing is to be expected from time to time.

And what dreams may come....
Dark Star sees a crib in a house with two beautiful foals in them.
The first, a light blue earth pony with all her father's edginess and mother's bitchiness. The second, a white, blue eyed colt with expressions of courage and adventure
