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.

>>82677"it was a fair fight. my pride did get a little hurt though."
>>82678She rolls her eyes, and sighs
"I hoped you learned your lesson"
>>82679"i need to start lifting weights?"
>>82680"Never fight fair, and never enter a fight if you don't have to"
>>82681"i get to do community service next week. thats gonna be great."
I wonder if Ash's or Iron's player is here right now, or if I'm okay with just sending Silver back to the tavern to wait for the rest of the group.
>>82683Sorry, I passed out. I backread a bit but can't find anything else of our side of the story besides the colt's excitement and terror.
>>82682"Oh please, you don't owe anything to mister 'takes a healing potion first, then takes attacks of opportunity he didn't in the previous fight'"
>>82684It's alright.Seeing that Ash is capable of taking care of Slow Burn at the moment, Silver trots up to Iron. "You were excellent hoof-to-hoof opponent."
>>82685"i did agree to it though..."
>>82687"How well did that work out for you? I agreed to 'uphold and protect the laws of Nimbusia' and it didn't work out any better for me"
>>82686Iron 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.
>>82689>>82691"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. Because they knew they'd never find it at the wrong end of a lance, hoof, or artillery gun"
>>82692"Yes, I know. I am not very good with hoof-to-hoof combat. I left many openings you did not take advantage of." He chuckles. "Perhaps one day you will have to teach me how to attack properly with my hooves."
>>82693Can players even teach their own feats to others?>>82694Iron thinks. "It is a nice proposition. I never had another spar partner for a while, and with your tough body, you could be able to withstand anyother pony's attacks while you dish out your own damage." He strokes his chin a bit. "I think I can teach it but if my brother should be able to do that better than me."
>>82693"still i would like to keep my honor though."
>>82696"So far as I am concerned, the agreement was void when he changed the combat from his previous set of rules"
>>82695"It sounds like nice idea. Even at my age, learning new techniques is good idea. Who knows, could be useful one day."
>>82698"Do you want a drink? i think i want another one."
>>82702Dark star puts his arm around her neck and walks over to the bar with her
>>82701Thank you for the clarification.>>82699Iron chuckles. "You could do some damage with that sword you have on your back though. While I like your eagerness to learn, the only thing I can do to teach you is to fight me over and over. Maybe next time we spar, you could use your sword and I use my hooves. What do you think?"
>>82703She smiles at this, and tries to kiss him before they leave the room
>>82704Silver lets out a laugh. "As long as we do not actually try to kill one another."
>>82707"You can use a practice wooden sword, I think. I do not know where you can find that, though."
>>82706She coos as her tongue invades him
Although if he woke up during a dream, I would think he would not yet be in a condition to walk into public >>82708"Ah, that makes more sense. Perhaps there are stores out there that sell them. I mean, there are stores that sell significantly more lethal weapons than wooden practice swords."
>>82710Iron thinks some more. "Well, fighting is illegal in general. I am unsure if they would sell those kinds of wooden weapons if nobody can spar with eachother." He remembers that colt who he thinks he was a deacon, beacon or whatever. "What is up with his excitement?"
>>82712"He is young. It is to be expected. I will say, he certainly is more excitable than those of his age were in Severyana, especially for those in religious institutions. Perhaps that is just normal in this area for Equestrians."
>>82714Sundew buts in
"No, he's more sanguine than most"
>>82714Iron inspects the area. "So did we concluded with the whole 'soul jar' business? I was not paying attention."
>>82713Ah that would make sense"Mr.Glass another one of those vodka milk drinks for me and a maretini."
>>82715Damn phoneposting, doesn't let me see new replies."Is that a good thing for you?"
>>82715"It could be just how he was born. He seems like good colt, though. I would not give him too much issue for it."
>>82716"Yes. I was getting ready to head back to tavern, wait for rest of group there. Are you coming, or will you stay with Ash until this business is concluded?"
>>82718"He's energetic alright"
>>82717"Coming right up!"
Blue Skies now addresses Dark Star
"After getting back to headquarters, getting yelled at about missing an appointment... and after a very long conversation about the books we handed over... I looked into this Comte guy"
>>82719Iron shakes his head. "I am her bodyguard. I must stay by her side. You can go ahead. Ash and I will catch up later." Iron smiles.
>>82720"How have you coped with him? You make him sound like a huge weight on your back." Iron scratches his side.
>>82721Silver nods, and turns for the exit. "I will see you later, then." With that, Silver makes for the tavern to rest up and wait for the rest of the group.
Sorry, I passed out.
How long it take for the priest to finish his phonecall?
>>82722"Weight? Certainly not. He's friendly to others, and he's willing to learn and do things"
>>82720"oh really? what did you find out?"
>>82725"Sorry. You made him sound like a hassle to deal with." Iron shakes his head. "Who was that aged stallion, and who are you?"
