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.

>>81309Well, he is able to advance further. Don't assume for a moment that he is able to walk normally
>>81310Iron is able to keep his normal strength, even deeper inside of the catacombs
>>81312What?
>>81313Iron retraces his steps in the hopes of finding part of the S gang.
[1d20+2 = 6]>>81313Silver keeps struggling to pull Dark Star, not knowing if he himself will die today, but knowing if he's going to, he's going to do so trying to get his friend to safety.
>>81314He should find both, round about the hallway that is the right-fork
>>81313Idk, my idea to try to give them 30 seconds of fresh air...
It's a Summon Nature's Ally II spell.
>>81309>>81303Dark Star hums knocking on heavans door by stallions and roses
"silver tell blue i was thinking about her.""
>>81317The air in the tunnel and the fork becomes more breathable, and leads somewhat into the wide hallway
>>81315>>81316>>81318>>81320Iron sees both Star and Silver sprawled on the ground, barely holding on. He picks up Star from his prone position and turns to Silver. "I will come back for you, do not give up!" He then goes as fast as he can towards the entrance to the farmhouse.
>>81321Sister Ash instructs the small whirlwind to follow Iron.
>>81321Silver weakly tries to crawl towards the exit after Iron. If at least somepony was able to get over here, then the exit must be near...
>>81318>Stallions and RosesVetoed, no 1990s songs in a 1940s setting
>>81321Possible for Iron to do without any danger of fatal inhalation. The air in the tunnel is significantly fresher than it was the time before
>>81323The flames in the distance flicker with a stronger yellow light
>>81325There is at least some oxygen here, though that doesn't solve Silver's problem
[1d20+5 = 12]>>81326After retrieving Star and placing him to safety, he comes for Silver. 'He's a heavy stallion.' He thinks. Rolling a strength check to pick up Silver.
>>81326Is the air still barely breathable?
>>81327>>81329Moments like these, Silver wishes he was his father. He wouldn't have had any issue with this stupid gas. Or, at least, Silver thinks so, in his oxygen-starved, semi-conscious mind.
>>81328He is able to pick him. The process, however, requires him to breathe. Roll for luck for quantity of poison gas in the area
>>81329Yes and no. There is enough oxygen to support life, but there is enough carbon monoxide to
at least make you dizzy, although it's very far from being as bad as it was nearer the fire
>>81333the monoxide has barely made its way this far, and the air elemental has further purified the gas. Iron can pull Silver along more or less normally
>>81335Iron does that, retrieving Silver and taking him to the safe zone at the farmhouse entrance.
>>81332"Do not give up! We are going to make it!" Iron exclaims.
>>81331The Elemental retreats a few feat where it came and assumes its Whirlwind form for one round, in attempt to circulate fumes throughout the tunnel. It's body dissolves into a cylinder of mist as it channels the air currents.
It can remain in Whirlwind for 6 seconds.
>>81335How bad is Dark Star fucked up?
>>81338He should be safe with Skies. Now make out with her.
>>81336Silver doesn't look like he's paying attention. His mind is lost in a memory to cope with how tired and abused it is at the moment, it seems.
>>81000>>81336Iron is able to carry Silver through the tunnel and to the safety of the farmhouse
>>81338Placed across from Skies, who is nodding to herself and repeating "stay awake," Dark Star is
very dizzy
>>81337It'll only last for a couple more more rounds.
The air elemental, in its Whirlwind form, moves back and fourth through the tunnel, channeling air. It's fly speed is 120 feet (perfect).
>>81341"i thought id never see you again."
Dark Star is very tired, he thinks its time for a nap so he lets himself drift off
>>81341Iron pants, tired from all the carrying. He turns to Ash. "What should I do with Skies? You seem to have knowledge in this stuff."
Should we pretend Onyx and Spark got out? >>81344"Just keep her breathing.." Sister Ash replies with a cough
>>81344Onyx and Shimmer were in the least danger, and could easily have left without any serious risk of poisoning>>81343"Stay awake" she repeats from her pile of books in the corner
>>81344>>81341Silver's breathing is weak, but steady. The memory in his head continues to run its course, letting Silver enjoy some unseen and joyful moment of peace and calm in his past while his brain tries to recover from the hell it just went through.
I'm sorry my stupidity nearly killed you guys...
>>81350I didn't think the smoke would spread so quickly.
>>81346Iron nods.
>>81347Iron checks up on all the party members to see how they are faring.
>>81348Iron hopes he's not having the same problem as Skies.
>>81347"im tired. a little nap would be ok?"
>>81350To Be Fair Dark Star and Silver had no way of knowing a fire had been lit >>81349I mean, Ash is the one who should probably be apologizing to the members of the party.>>81350Silver tries to stay awake, even in his oxygen-deprived stupor. It's a good memory. He doesn't want to leave it just yet. He wants to enjoy something for once, something he'll never have again.
>>81353This. Sister Ash gets up and dusts herself off.
>>81355Iron approaches Ash. "Ash, take me off of my armor."
>>81352Skies's largest problem is that she is very afraid of falling unconscious non-voluntarily
>>81354Definitely dizzy with splitting headaches
>>81355Bad damned headaches. She won't be normal for several hours
[1d20+5 = 12]>>81357"Oh, alright.." she replies
Sister Ash busies herself with helping him out of the buckles, which takes about 4 minutes
>>81358Heal check to soothe headache.
>>81358"What happend? Why was there a fire?"
>>81360"That gecko lady. Wanted to burn
allllllll the wisdom of lost worlds"
>>81359Better in part, but by no means gone.
>4 minutesFor someone who hasn't fainted recently and is at full strength without headaches. For Ash....
>>81359Iron, now free of his armor, can breathe a lot steadier.He drops his shield and approaches Ash, furrowed brow and staring daggers at her. "Are you stupid?"
>>81358It's funny. I had endurance as a feat and didn't even use it. Fuck me.>>81361Pretend the armor was taken off for this scene.
