Six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. 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.
The party now takes on the task of breaking, entering, and investigating the house of Social Democrat politician Comte "Cheese" Burgher, who is alleged to have 'purchased' two young foals. They have already distracted the guards around the gated community and explored most of the property. Now, Ash tries out her role as a 'dog whisperer,' Dark Star contemplates the evidence he has already collected, Silver shifts between stealing jewelry from innocent third parties and talking about the joyful smell of wingpit sweat, Iron harasses guards by talking to them about queer theory while Onyx acts as his his homosexual partner, Brie tries to get the guards drinking on the job, and Spark follows around the group in the attic.

"A bit bummed out, but physically fine." He pokes his chin. "Is the little one Kerr or his 'brother'? I cannot tell from here."

Iron nods. "One of them is Kerr. The other is Wesley, if I recall what Silver said correctly." A pause, followed by some light hoof tapping on the floor. "You should know which one is which if you try to force one of them to approach me. Kerr should probably hiss at me and try to break free from your grasp. The other would be more cautious but not as fearful to be near me."

The little grey pegasus colt keeps his hoof extended out, reaching forward, so much so that he has to lean and raise his right rear hoof to keep balance
*pet*
And after a moment, skittishly, "Ich bin Wesley"

Iron is surprised. He then thinks back to his first actual fight with his brother. He has grown and learned so much. His unarmed technique has far surpassed Iron's, even with his lower strength. He knew how to dodge and weave through his punches with such grace. It was the first time he lost for real against him, and he felt damn proud of him. He was going to be a great stallion one day.

Iron does not react again. It should be a nice apology to give him some more love.
After the fight, his brother helped him out and shook hooves in mutual respect. Iron remembers hugging him and congratulating him for a good fight. His brother hugged back, a tender embrace between two brothers. It was an honor to be beaten by him. A pat on the back and they both left off to celebrate with the family. The lunch he tasted was one of the best he has ever eaten. Father congratulated them on a good fight, mother hugged us both and tended to our wounds and sister simply nodded in understanding. It was one of the best days Iron had in his past.

The little colt breaks his disguise, and in a flash of green light is a drone once more, he extends his tongue and quickly lunges forward, his fangs sticking the air

A stream of green and purple goes from Iron into the small drone's mouth
The taste of the food in the memory becomes duller dull, then almost like the taste of eating dirt. Pride becomes lesser, then numb. The hugs become cold. Senses of fear and apprehension that had always been present in the memory now stand out, as there is no other feeling to drown it. He feels physical pain. It is the same physical pain as he experienced in the memory, but whereas before its presence was easy to ignore, it is now at the forefront. What else is there to feel when nothing but pain, sadness, and fear remain?
For all of this, it does not leave his mind, and he still feels he could stand if he wanted to. The little drone stops, and sits. It's belly is large, with a little blue light past the translucent blue hide

Iron is a bit dazed, but understands what must be done in order to take care of changelings. "I... think so. It will pass away soon, I would think." He shivers uncomfortably, feeling the pain and fear of losing against him, hurting his own pride. "He just needed some love, that is all." He does not change his prone position.
>>86042
"I hope that counts as an apology, Kerr." he smiles weakly.

I had had the DC at about a 15, which means that Iron's combined 13 wouldn't be good enough. But then again, I think Iron has a couple points from constitution that if added, would reach 15. Also these are children, not full grown Incubi drones, so they maybe should have a lower DC of like 12\\
The little bug licks his lips. He appears sated

A quiet knock sounds at the door, and Brie pokes his head in, before entering fully.
"I need some information. What can you tell me about Comte?"

"Comte is a politician. A 'stallion for the ponies' kind of guy. He is part of the Social Democrat Party if I am not mistaken, leading figure being some other stallion who is the mayor. I do not remember his name right now."

Iron stands up slowly. "Spark, I need your help. Could you help me put my armor on? I should go to the abbey to check Ash's status. She may be interested that these two little ones are safe and sated." He then walks over to his armor and lazily starts the process.

"I cased her a bit when she was at the bar, and I've seen the outside of her house, but I haven't made a job out of it yet. I was waiting for a good opportunity and then I got caught up with you ponies in the dock mission. I haven't had a chance to get back to it, but in light of these two (indicating the changelings) I have to wonder if she might not be caught up in it. Not being a public official would give her leeway for interacting with unsavory individuals in business dealings without extensive media scrutiny. Its just a hunch, but worth looking into I think." He's silent for a moment, then turns to the changelings. "Hallo Kerr, hallo Wesley. Wie geht es ihnen?"

Iron nods. "I understand. Be sure to keep these foals safe for now. I will be back after checking up on Ash." He finally puts all of his armor pieces and shield on his back. "Forget about the whole 'help me with equipping my armor' thing, Spark." With that, Iron exits the room. Destination: The Abbey.

After Iron leaves, Brie looks around the room. "Fug, Silver's not here. Not sure how he speaks their language so well, but I need him to translate for me."

Kerr says to Brie
“Ich bin ok. Dieses Pony schmeckt gut”
Kerr is closest to Iron, but still keeps his distance
Wesley is touching Spark, evidently seeing if Spark bites
He turns to Brie, still surprised he speaks Wechselbach
“Ich bin ok. Der alte Hengst ist nicht hier, also bin ich etwas unsicher”

She stifles a laugh
“Second one this hour. Go see this doctor”
When he gets to the unicorn doctor, he can see that he too, is stifling a laugh
“Let me guess. She was posing as a single mother”

Don't forget Brie was about to stab one of the innocent guards in a public place. He also repeatedly hinted at the burglary while the party was inside and unfinished. He also committed minor arson while the party was still inside and didn't know how to escape; in his haste to save himself and his cargo he knocked over Spark and left the three stallions in a very suspicious place with sirens in the distance. The only reason they managed to escape was due to heavy dime distortion by the GM turning four minutes into a half hour. So very "wise"
I'm guessing Brie is chaotic neutral?

If ever in doubt, perform a PEST analysis
I've gotta admire this group for their pessimistic and gloomy response to dice. First you have Silver almost re-rolling a new character on not just one but two occasions, then you have have Star being an utter edgelord because of one drain. The melodrama is the most entertaining part of being an observer.
How would a changeling drain affect you if you couldn't feel anything in the first place?
>>85779
As a matter of fact, suits of armor in medieval times cost as much as a car if not more. The fact that they still run in the thousands today despite steel being dirt cheap and machining tools available should tell you something (to be fair, there are far fewer skilled blacksmiths today).
Also, adoption can be really expensive depending on the country, laws in place, and processing. It may be that the "ransom" could simply be a fee to handle all the paperwork that goes with adoption.

“There’s a definite drain on your aura. It looks like she got you good. But this is far from the worst it could be. You’re not so drained that you cannot regrow your magical strength.

Silver doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, himself, but if the doctor said it will help...
He grabs a few chocolate bars (a dozen: 4 plain, 4 dark, 4 with almonds), and brings them to the cashier to ring them up.

I understand. I think the player made Ash go to sleep some posts ago. Iron just wants to witness the scene to confirm Ash's presence in the abbey, then he would fuck off.
"Thank you." Iron proceeds to go upstairs to see how Ash is doing. Hopefully she is not wounded.
