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.

>>81358The headache knocks him out of his stupor long enough to groan in agony. As his headache makes him unable to use his horn for anything without feeling like he's going to die, he weakly calls out to the group, his accent especially hard to understand with the strain put on his body.
>>81362>>81359>>81361"...Bags...First-Aid..."
>>81362>>81361*Nervous chuckle*
"... I.. I got angry..." She replies
>>81361"Gecko lady? you mean her?" he points to ash
>>81365"What?"
>>81365>>81363Iron does not take this well. "We are going to have a serious conversation when the party heals, Ash. For now, deal with Silver, he has a medic bag on him."
>>81366*Fidgets*
"... I got angry.." she repeats
"At about the time I had entered that room.. I was very, very angry at what I had seen.. and I thought.. 'Wouldn't it be nice if everything here just burne?'..."
>>81367>>81365A note for Ash and Iron: Ash was the closest to the gas and fared the
worst of any party member
>>81366"Firebug, yes"
She sounds a little out of it
>>81365"No shit?"
>>81369>FirebugSister Ash would only ever burn artificial structures.
>>81373Oi, that guy only too 6 damage..
>>81369Dark Star crawls over to blue he has a worried expression on his face
"Blue are you okay?"
>>81368"You couldnt have waited until we got back?"
>>81372>implying >>81374Iron rounds up his armor pieces and sits next to the pile and his shield, waiting for the party to recover from the previous predicament.
>>81374>>81375>>81376>>81378Silver groans again. He looks like he's in complete and total agony from his headache as he crawls up into the fetal position. "Головная боль...болит...please...help..."
>>81379"I cannot do much and I do not want to make it worse for you. Sorry." Iron is guilty about this.
>>81376She is and has been nodding
"είμαι εντάξει" she says, reassuringly
>>81377Definitely dizzy and splitting headaches
>>81379>>81381"I-I think my ears are broken."
>>81381Iron, now a bit curious on the loot Skies had picked up, decides to check out the contents.
>>81382>>81382She puts a hoof on him and giggles
"Tá tú dathúil!"
>>81384Outside of her bag are a number of books. That's really what she got, were books
>>81383Maybe 1PM at latest
[1d20-1 = -8]>>81385Iron is not convinced. He decides to look some more. No way she just got some books without something else.
>>81385Dark Star thinking his ears are fucked crawls next to blue and holds her
>>81379"Are you okay?"
Well, on the Henderson scale of plot-derailment, I'm going to have to rate this at about a .4. It really fucked with what needed to be done, but it was pretty damned funny in the process
>>81388At least you had some fun.
>>81387"...Headache..." He tries and fails to reach for something in his bags, trying to show Dark Star that he's wanting something from inside it.
>>81386Her bag next to her has more things, but that is still by her side
>>81387"Hehehe, D'aww"
She tries to kiss Dark Star's fur
>>81386"There is nothing in those books that the ponies in this land do not already possess." Sister Ash says, folding her forehooves stubbornly
"Tombs such as those only serve to distract ponies from what they have in front of them."
>>81388It was fun, and intense.
Sorry about derailing things.
>>81391>>81387Iron feels proud to have saved both lovers from possible demise.
>>81392"Do not rant about evil books when you cannot even dispose of them properly. You almost killed us." Iron states. "But we can separate the books, put them outside the farmhouse and burn them, without risking all of our lives."
>>81393She smiles at him, tries to set herself upright, and places the books behind her, while holding onto Dark Star
>>81347Well. Apparently we escaped... That could have gone better.
>>81385I suppose I glance through a book for anything of note.
>>81394"Skies, you know you are tangling with evil stuff from those books." Iron starts. "No way we can leave you with those books intact without risking chaos and destruction."
>>81393"It's all stolen goods. Abuse of good magick, handled by a necromancer. Better off as a pile of ash." The Sister says, furrowing her brow as if remembering something unpleasant
>>81390>>81393"iron bring his bag."
>>81391Dark Star kisses her snoot
>>81395When he picks up the first book, he sees that it is the history of a Canterlot sorcerer. Entirely Hoofwritten
>>81396"No no, I know what I am doing, trust me on this..."
[1d20+5 = 14]>>81398Snootendoodle is kissed
"Hehe"
She tries to kiss his mouth
>>81399Sister Ash cocks an eyebrow
"Do you?" she asks inquisitively
>>81399"Oh yeah? Then you mind telling us what you will do with the books, Skies?" He approaches Skies.
>>81397He motions Ash to follow as he approaches Skies.
>>81399"Hmm..."
Can I make out what it says? If so, any details about the sorcerer, such as ties to necromancy or specific magic?
>>81401"Do you know what you just burned?"
>>81402"Do you know what these books are?"
>>81405"Paper." She replies flatly
>>81405"No, but it surely does not have nice stories of foals frolicking through a field of flowers." Iron sternly looks at Skies.
[1d20+3 = 15]
Constitution: With no apparent help coming to relief him of his headache, Silver tries to get up on his own, hoping the strength and resilience of his body can overcome the red-hot pain in his brain.
>>81404Born in the year 304 in the high court of Baron Brazenhoof, he studied magic for six years under the stewardship of Darkwood the Wise and.... definitely something occult in here
>>81408Dark Star crawls over to his bag
>>81406"Then there is no issue"
>>81407"You can't know that if you've never read it"
>>81410Success
>>81411"So you do not know what is in it?" Iron places his face close to Skies. "You seem like you do not know what you are doing."
