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.

>>82424"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.
>>82429 Because there was a second punch. Read the thread
>>82430So you rolled sneak attack damage and unarmed damage both at once?>>82428Iron now feels the sucker punch. He grunts for a bit. "Good. He is a good pony, to be sure. I do not know why he looked to fight with me."
[1d20+2 = 5]
Fuck me, that was damage. Rolling confirmation
>>82431And Iron has won an additional 10 damage, for 20 damage total. But they are even now
>>82432>>82433How rude of her.Iron has been knocked out by Skies
because who else would have sucker punched Iron, making him fall on top of Dark Star with a solid thud.
>>82431"He wasn't dissuaded by the odds. It's admirable, really. There's no honor in only fighting battles that you're sure you'll win."
>>82435And then he falls on his face right in front of her...
[1d20+2 = 10]>>82434"Hmm. Fair punch."
>>82435Strength: Silver tries to roll Iron off of Star. "Let me just...help you with that, Star."
>>82436“There is no intelligence in fighting a battle you are sure to lose.”
Skies says with utmost contempt and disgust
“It’s funny, I never took you for the type to see fighting as noble”
>>82439"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."
[1d20+5 = 6]
Rolling for beetle dust
>>82442Sister Ash accidentally drops the whole beetle into Iron's nostril.
"...Whups..."
>>82447Iron feels painful strecthing of his nostril. He groans in pain.
[1d20+5 = 8]>>82448"Ummm.. let's try something else."
Rolling to ressucitate
>>82441“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”
>>82449Silver just look at Sister Ash. "If you want help, just say so."
>>82450Nevermind the fact that Skies literally ensured that one of the ponies got knocked out.>>82449Iron does not feel resucitated. He just thinks about mares in his confused haze.
>>82450"I have to agree. I don't even remember how we got into this position of brawling each other. Maybe the smoke damaged our brains more than we gave it credit for."
>>82453Dark Star unironically asked for it though.
>>82458I'm not sure why that linked that one instead of this one
>>82453 >>82453I'm not saying he didn't, but if you're going the 'it's a waste of time to kick eachother's asses' route, don't kick a pony's ass before that.>>82455>>82454Iron now feels conscious again. He groans for a bit, rubbing the back of his neck. "What just entered my nose?"
>>82457Also 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. >>82458"Well, if we are all done beating snot out of each other, I believe there are foals that need saving."
>>82458"The mission should continue. It is a stealth and diplomacy focused situation. We still have you as our back up. We need to at least attempt to go forward."
>>82457>>82459"Where is this target holding the foal, or do we even know?"
>>82462"Since we did we switch to that instead of rekilling skeletons?"
>>82464"After somepony set fire to books and filled tunnels with carbon monoxide. It is on hold until we get gas masks."
>>82462>>82463Iron nods. "Agreed. We need to think up a plan of action. Anyone has any info on Burgher to exploit?"
>>82461The 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
>>82463>BackupOnyx nods in understanding
>>82464"Since the smoke has put any exploration on hold. And I think we can stop for the sake of the foals, don't you?"
>>82450Sister 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".
>>82470"..." Silver looks down, his ears falling limp to the sides of his head. "...I am not that old..."
>>82471I pat Silver on the back.
"Don't listen to the Kirin."
>>82471Onyx also pats the old man on the back
>>82471“You’re okay, don’t listen to her”
