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.

With the might of the Earth Pony, Dark Star keeps both little Endless Skies and White Guard in his hooves. The window next to the crib is open. Standing in the room next to him is a great black female Changeling. Yellow hair, and Swiss cheese limbs. Two drones stand next to her and behind her

She addresses Dark Star directly
"Normally we would just take your foals from the crib and leave you none the wiser. It seems you came in at an inopportune time. No matter, we shall have your foals one way or another"

She reaches in closely and grabs around Dark Star's face, pulling him closer in a twisted perversion of a lover's kiss. She has fangs the size of feathers, a bent muzzle, and a long, thin lizard like tounge. As she raps her porous legs around Dark Star, she moves in her lips for the kiss. Her crooked horn glows a malign green which envelops Dark Star's muzzle. As her lips touch his, he feels the happiness and joy slowly drain from his body

One of his shots goes right into her chest, spraying a green goo. The other... Well, Dark Star finds he is a bit drained at the moment, and a shot that would have gone right into before the kiss, now is barely deflected by her green armor, a horrid steel plate that resembles her chitinous hide

She breaks away her lover's embrace from Dark Star as Endless Skies, the little blue filly, stabs her with her fork. She back away as a new voice enters the room.

Through the door of the room, enters a tanish earth pony stallion with a business coat on - blue and white striped shirt with a red tie and blue coat. His mane is strawberry and curly. He resembles a politician Dark Star recalls from his foalhood. He speaks
"What are you doing here Dark Star? Defending such outdated concepts as 'family'? Time to move on"

"Hahaha! Who do you think voted for me but the Diamond Dogs?

Now what is this? Firearms? Tisk tisk. Can't let a free pony going around with those, can we?"
He uses his unicorn magic to try to take Dark Star's guns

"Dark Star, why do you resist the customs and traditions of our guests? Though they may seem strange to the superstitious and Xenophobic, they serve a valuable purpose"

He looks directly at Dark Star
"Love for a foal. Love for country. These are all love for particulars love for somecreature above some other creature. To favor one over another. In the Brotherhood of Creatures, all are loved equally. Every Stallion, Mare, Bird, Dog, Drone... you get the idea I hope. Dark Star, you must allow your foals to be raised by another. And you in kind, must raise somecreature else's hatchlings. Tis' the greatest way to break down that greatest monolith of Parochialism and Inequallity, the Family. Don't stand in the way of Progress, Dark Star"

Iron has mixed feelings, little bit of pride and shame. "While you were pretty tough, you lacked the means to attack properly with your hooves. It was not really a fair fight to show my combat prowess." He scratches his forehead, remembering Silver's last hit. "You still pack a punch though." He chuckles.

"Dark Star, fighting is not an end in itself. I tell you, there is no honor in having your eye penetrated through with a broken lance so that you can no longer even recognize your own sister. Have you seen Sea Breeze? He was in combat, ow he can't even walk without magic from his flickering and broken horn. When you understand this, you will understand that fighting is only fit to be a means to an end. And when you understand that you understand why your opponents will not fight with honor.

No small amount of time passes before Father Maren returns to the room. When he does, he says the following:

"I called the Bishop in Canterlot, who directed me to directed me to an expert in Equestrian necromancers. He didn't know what I meant, nor did anyone in the department, so they searched through the archives. They found it. In 820, a farmer in Albion ran into his local church, saying that he had witnessed local fisherman doing... strange things in his barn involving blue jars. He said he seen spirits conjured and talked to. That was ignored for the fancifulness of the encounter, until a police search for a missing pony revealed what the farmer had said to be the truth a month later. They found a number of jars, with salts just like the ones you described, and eventually turned them over to the church. They were baffled just the same as we, until after a year they discovered that a particular prayer, combined with some iodine and industrial alcohol could break both the spiritual and physical bonds of the salts. And we may do the same here. Of course certain very powerful magic can do all the same, but that would take far too long, and require help from as far away as Fillidephia"
