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.

>tfw my poorly-considered arson creates unnecessary danger again
>>81210I'd say it's character flaws or something.
>>81209Silver nods. "Let us hope it is not bad omen." Once Silver has the dynamite set up, he stands over in the storeroom, levitating his lighter up to the dynamite to light it.
>>81211It's pretty poetic, actually.
I just hope it doesn't kill any party members.
>>81213I hope so too. No one likes a character killer.
Unless they want to die or something >>81208Silver looks out into the blue skies above the quarry, as he prepares to blow up one of the only two exits out of the structure, one of the only two sources of air, while still sitting inside of a catacomb with many, many, many undead between him and the other exit and half of the catacombs unexplored
>>81210It's almost like Kirin have a habit of arson or something
>>81212Alright then, the fuze of the dynamite is lit. It is a slow match, basically, designed to allow the handler of the dynamite plenty of time to reach a safe distance
>>81216True."...Hmm...yeah, just...had weird feeling."
>>81217Silver makes his way back to the staircase, levitating his lighter back to him, careful to avoid touching the undead between him and the stairs.
>>81216"Come on, let us hope others did not get into too much trouble while we were gone."
>>81215She was very, very upset about everything she's found in this cavern thus far...
>>81218He sees an artificial light at the top of the stairs
>>81220>>81216"...Oh no. Oh nonononono...come on, Star!" Silver rushes back up the stairs, afraid of what the others have done.
>>81222
I'm so, so sorry...
Do Sister Ash and Iron make it out?
>>81221Massive fire, producing much smoke
>>81223They can make it to the former hallway at least, where Blue Skies has collapsed with laborious breathes
>>81224"
DON'T BREATHE!" Silver holds his breath as he attempts to run past the hazard.
>>81225TIme for some darmaIron now notices Skies' collapsed form. He lets Caleb keep dragging Ash and he decides to carry Skies with him. He then bolts for the exit where no smoke can impede his breathing.
>>81225If Ash was awakened by Caleb dragging her, she picks up Blue.
>>81226You can hold your breath for 2 rounds per point of Constitution (a lot), which should be enough.. I hope..
>>81227Or he can take her.
I guess Sister Ash is passed out until further notice..
>>81227"Heee... I can get myself" She tries to crawl along. She has probably at least half her weight in various items on her
>>81226>hold breathSilver wonders why he wanted to blow it up
now, or why he went deeper into the catacombs rather than into the quarry where there was at least air. He also realized that in 90 seconds, when that dynamite goes off, the one thing allowing there to be any flow of air at all will be gone, and it shall get much worse
>>81231The wind blows past him, from the quarry towards the fire
>>81230As Dark Star runs by he holds his breath to.
>>81230Silver wonders why these things would pop into his head when he had no idea his companions would start a
fire in an
enclosed locations. He hopes he can hold his breath long enough to find the other exit, as he runs through the stone construct and his lungs start to wonder why they haven't received any oxygen yet.
>>81235What kind? Fortitude? Constitution? >>81235Then I'll do it.Iron disregards her protests and picks her up and put her behind her back with all stuff she picked up. He now bolts to the exit where they came from, with the big hallway.
>>81234Trying to run carrying loot out is an architypical way for Rogues to die.
>>81238Someone with temper issues..
>>81241He can keep his breath
>>81244Pass
>>81240Iron can't go
that fast, but he can go. He is able to make his way to the hallways, although he can here sounds from adjacent hallways
>>81246Silver hurries his ass off back the way the group came as fast as he can.
>>81247Dark Star follows right behind him
>>81246Iron goes as fast as possible to a place where the smoke cannot get him or Skies, preferrably towards the exit of these catacombs.
I need that map and where are our current positions. >>81247>>81248They seem to have left in advance of them
>>81249That would be the long tunnel back to the basement of the farmhouse, where they came in.
>>81251Yes. That area has oxygen
>>81250Silver starts to feel a rage building up inside of him. It helps drive him forwards as his lungs start crying out for air.
>>81252Then I'll go there. Please update Ash's status.Iron goes to the long tunnel back to the basement of the farmhouse, where they came in with Skies and her loot in tow. He should go back to fetch Ash as well after some breaths of fresh air.
>>81250"Is there anyway we can smother this fire?"
>>81249>>81250Caleb follows. His keen doggo-senses (common sense) urging him to drag his master out of the poisonous environment.
>>81255Then a hot throbbing anger inside of him. Either way, he's pissed.>>81256Well, I don't think you'll have to.>>81257Silver seems more concerned with holding his breath and getting out of the catacombs ASAP.
