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.

>>81668>>81670Hooray!
Spark approaches Dark Star. Is Silver there as well?
>>81671Silver and Skies are together but away from Dark Star.
>>81672"Iron would like to see if you are willing to help him and Ash hunt down some missing foals. Right now we are stuck out of the tunnel, and this mission is focused on peaceful resolution. Would you like to join?"
>>81678"Well, that was easy. Need anything in return for your help?"
>>81681I give 1 bit to Dark Star.
"You sure that is all?"
>>81682"yep, thats it, and we have to save those foals."
>>81683"Good to hear. I'm going to see what the others think, but go over and tell Iron that you are willing."
I look around for the others. I assume Silver and Blue Skies are not in sight?
I think I might go to bed soon.
Sister Ash will still be performing funeral services until she's satisfied with the state of each jar.
>>81686Dark Star Walks over to iron
"So whats up with these missing foals?"
>>81684Honestly, I have no idea where they are in relation to you guys. All I know is that they're still fairly close to Curwhinny Farm.
[1d20 = 13]>>81689Maybe I will just roll perception or something to see if you are hidden from view.
>>81688Iron raises an eyebrow at Star's appearance. "Well, I was not expecting you to volunteer after being almost suffocated by smoke." Iron clears throat again and states the same as
>>81635 up until '...doing things non-violently.' He then scratches his head. "How did Spark convince you to join?"
>>81691"he payed me. and i wanted to help the Foals."
>>81692"Even after Ash almost killed you?" Iron is dumbfounded
>>81694Iron is unsure. "I guess Spark did pay you for this. Alright, you are in. We move out when Ash moves out."
I'm not sure if the GM is here. I guess Spark and Silver could meet up but Skies should have an input in this deal since she's trying to do a deal herself. >>81698Iron is shocked. "What? Why would you accept such a bad deal? We are going as far as political assassination if the politician does not give the foal back. Do you know how dangerous this could be?"
>>81699I take it Iron and all them are by the camp?
>>81699"danger is my middle name. and what politician?"
>>81701"I do not remember his name. I think he was a 'social democrat', some 'hero of the poor' or something. A weakling taking advantage of ponies like himself."
>>81700We are at the place where the soul jars/ash urns are. No idea where that is, but we could be at the farmhouse still. I'll need to ask Ash or the GM tomorrow to ensure Iron, Ash and Star are at the camp or the farmhouse >>81703Iron pokes his chin. "I think that is the stallion."
>>81704Dark Stars Eyes Flash with Determination
"Now im really committed."
>>81705"Huh, personal vendetta is actually a decent reason to choose to help. Well, guess that does it." Iron nods understandingly. "I wonder if Spark will convince Silver as well."
Well, seeing how the GM hasn't really stepped in with the reunion of Silver and Spark with Skies, I'll assume that he is not able to participate for today/tonight. I'll go to bed now. Night everyone else. >>81705>>81704>>81701Blue Skies' eyes go from mild irritation, to interest, to disbelief upon hearing this exchange
"Come again?"
>>81710>Something vague involving missing foals>The implication of possibly murdering a democratically elected official"
Any of it. This is either the worst conceivable idea or the best idea, but it certainly is not an indifferent matter to the Blackhooves"
>>81711"how would they feel about it?"
>>81712"That truly depends on exactly what this politician has to do with missing foals. If he is a serial killer or has a damned sex dungeon in his basement, then it would be fine to shoot him in the face and let that run on the next day's paper. It would be a million times better to gather as much evidence as possible, and have a long, very public trial that drags this 'democracy' through the mud. If this is just a custody issue over foals, or really, if that politician is doing anything less than
seriously immoral things, then the Blackhooves want nothing to do with it, and by extension, want
you to have nothing to do with it so long as you have one of their badges."
>>81713>>81714I assume Silver is here for this conversation."I have found it is running theme with politicians to have dark secrets. Perhaps job makes them like that. Perhaps job draws those with such tendencies towards it. I would not put it past this one to have something similar."
