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.

>>82575Father Maren looks more than a little disturbed by this
>>82576"For that, I need to make a phone call"
>>82577"Why yes. Yes we do"
>>82578"Very well then."
What time of day would it be?
>>82578"get me some of that with milk in it."
>>82578"At least I did not try to lick them." Silver, somehow, manages to say this with a straight face.
>>82581This leaves his mouth open
>>82579Like 2 PMish or something
>>82580"Let me see if I have any fresh"
>>82582Silver continues to have a straight face.
>>82582Noted
Sister Ash bows politely, and allows the stallion the time it take for him to take care of his business.
>>82583>>82584Father 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?"
>>82585"You're in luck! It hasn't expired yet"
He pours the milk into the Vodka
>>82586"Yes, in addition to skeletons. There are many we still have to slay, though matters out of our control have forced us to delay."
>>82586"Ghasts." She replies
"And a rather large skeleton.."
>>82589Really fucking sore and also pretty tired
>>82588>>82587His eyes widen
"Cool! So you like had to fight off hordes and chop their heads off?"
>>82590"Hey Do you have rooms here?"
>>82590"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."
>>82593He puts his hooves together as if to say 'very good point'
"But was it
cool?"
>>82594"For you, free for today"
>>82590Silver 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."
>>82595Silver 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."
>>82596Dark Star drinks his white stalliongrader
"Thanks i need a rest. which one is it?"
>>82595The 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..."
>>82598He smiles at him, and points to a door to Dark Star's left
"Through the door, up the stairs. You can take the first room"
>>82598>>82597"eeeee!"
"Go on..."
>>82600I'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.."
>>82600Dark Star pays for his drink and thanks glimmering glass then goes to the room
>>82600With 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.
>>82602"And.. I was so angry.. I kind of set the place on fire.. a little bit.." she mutters, fidgeting sheepishly
>>82603It is rather austere, lacking the elegant bedsheets, the dressers, the size, and the curtains of the Grand Baltimare Hotel. there is one chest and a simple bed, with simple wooden floors
>>82604>>82605He looks back in expressions of horror, anxiety, and above all, excitement over triumph
>>82606Sister Ash looks embarrassed, uncomfortable, and mostly tired.
"... All in a day's work.."
>>82606Silver 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."
>>82607Also, she's still covered in extrordinarily bright and shining golden armor, I case anyone forgot.
I g2g for a bit.
>>82606"Reminds me of the old house..."
dark Star puts his saddle bag in the chest then he gets in the bed and tries to go to sleep
>>82607>>82608Slow Burn looks over in deep amazement, before saying "So cool! Eeeee!"
Sundew ranges from embarrassed, to an 'oh you' expression, to irritation from Slow Burn's behavior
>>82610Roll >>82612Oh He's definitely tired and sore. But he hasn't fallen asleep just yet
>>82611"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.
>>82614"Somepony shot you in the rump?"
>>82613"this is terrible. i cant sleep."
>>82615He nods. "On accident, of course. But yes, I got shot in rump."
>>82616Roll again to try again
>>82617He gives a contemplative expression for a number of seconds, before going to a different subject
"And this evil necromancer kept the souls of ponies in jars!"
>>82618He nods. "These very same jars."
>>82619And falls right the fuck to sleep
>>82621Dark Star snores up a storm
>>82623And 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
>>82625The little colt gives a soft coo, and the little blue filly tries to resist being picked up
>>82626Dark Star tickles the filly and then pats the colt
