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.

>>82825"Want to head back to the room?"
Dark Star Smiles mischievously
>>82828"Or that." Iron scratches his side.
>>82826"I do not believe this should be possible for somepony not in touch with the spirit of Harmony, no. It probably didn't work for her, but there wasn't much reason not to try"
>>82828"No, they would have done something different. A more direct, more magical approach. When you combine the chemical and the divine, it is easier. Like how removing dirt is easier with water"
>>82829And she smiles mischievously back
"Sure"
>>82828Tl;Dr: she's trying to figure out if there's some way non-casters can manage to reproduce the effects of divine spells through certain incantations.
As an individual who trained for years learning how to use divine magick, what she saw last night absolutely baffled her, so she want to know more about anything that might be similar.
>>82831Dark Star pays glimmering glass,then Stands up and leads her back to the room
>>82831"Ah, optional material components can alter or empower the effects of certain spells. The Arcanists in the circle carried several rare components with them for their casting, although I never really took up the practice because most of such materials are rather expensive.." she says
>>82831Iron is a bit uncomfortable. "Well, it is important to know still." More scratching of his side. "I guess." Magic is strange.
>>82834"So are you able to replicate some spells through simple ingridients instead of wishing for them?" Iron is really trying to understand here.
>>82834He raises an eyebrow at her
"
It's not the same spell. That's why I spent an hour on the phone as an Archivist went through old archives rather than call in a Bishop from Fillydephia"
>>82833The pretty pegasus pony follows
She is... not terribly impressed with the room
"Well, it has walls and a bed"
>>82836"well,you know its... cozy."
>>82837"I guess that is so"
She closes the door
"What did you have in mind for the afternoon?"
>>82837>>82836>>82838OH YEAH, THIS IS THE SHIT. KILL ME, NOW!>>82836"Oh, nevermind then." Iron is stumped with all this magic talk.
>>82839What's wrong? You don't enjoy reading about two ponies in love?
Okay, I have no idea what's up, but I'll have her stop asking questions
Sister Ash is visibly confused, but decides that what she witnessed was not at all similar to the drastic effect she witnessed last night.
".. I thank you for your excellent assistance in this matter." She says, with a bow of her head
>>82841>>82840I am finding this more awkward than other sex scenes so far. Sorry for the outburst.
>>82842"No need to thank me. It is what I must do"
>>82842>>82844Iron just goes along with it, not wanting to scramble his head anymore than he needs to. He is ready to follow.
Okay, I'm going to go to sleep now.
Goodnight Anons
>>82846I'll go with the flow since I have no idea where Ash will go next, so night everyone.
>>82843More awkward than them doing it outside while watching the party fight? Kek.
>>82838Dark Star picks her up and sits her on the edge of the bed
>>82846Good Night
>>82849At least that was a smooth sail, unlike this. I can feel the complaints about the room coming up during the scene. 'Ugh, the bed is made out of boulders or something?' and the like.
>>82850And now, she gives him a strange look
"Dark Star, is something up?"
>>82851Oh well. Not all the encounters can be top tier material. Sorry it isn't to your liking.
[1d20+9 = 22]>>82853She pushes back for just a moment.
Sense motive
>>82854Let us see what happens, then I'll judge the scene. It's just assumptions that I'm thinking right now from the room comment alone.
So, just thought of a question: which member of the party do you guys consider to be the party leader, if anyone's the leader? I'm thinking Spark's the closest to being leader.
>>82858Eh, Dark Star sounds more like the charming leader rather than Spark, but I wouldn't know. It's not clear cut yet. Ash is Iron's focus at the moment though.
>>82859So you're the danger. The one who knocks.
>>82855Dark Star is buzzed and wants some fuck
>>82862Dark Star hears the word no Stallion
ever wants their mare to tell them. Ever.
"Dark Star, why don't you open up to me about your feelings? Something is off"
>>82856Looks like you won't have to worry about a sex scene after all.
>>82866>>82867What are the dice trying to tell us?
>>82871I'm'a say Skies wins this one, just 'cause
"Star, what is going on?"
>>82873"But I know you are uneasy about me"
>>82874"its just, i see the way you look when i mention foals. Do you not like me?"
>>82875"What? No. I mean, I do. I do like you. It's just that we've known each other for 3 days, and I wasn't expecting to settle down in a family"
>>82876"i guess.when you put it like that it does sound a little Weird."
>>82877She chuckles
"You needed a 'first love,' didn't you?"
