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.

>>85095I mean, Silver did return the jewelry...
>>85092 →>>85095Sister Ash steps back non-threateningly as she inquires this about the dog.
>>85093 →"THIS ONE here started off demanding to be let in. I thought, no real issue, we have a lot of stallions who think they are important and want to be let in, so I just shut it off. Then he tried to claim that he is someone, so I thought that maybe he is a guest of one of the residents who is coming back from a party or bar drunk, so I tried to get his ID. And then... That's when the ketamine, or whever he is on kicked in. He started talking to me about all of this weird sexual shit like stallions who think they are mares or something. And I thought, well, we do get a lot of weird ponies coming through here. But THEN he started hitting on me like a weird pre-vert and tried putting his hoof under the glass trying to touch me. But he broke through the glass. At that point, I thought 'OH HELL NO" and I pulled my gun on him. And I called these other two here while this guy is still hanging around the gate."
>>85092 →>"I am a one dog army!">>85098In retrospect I should have just said 'it is so,' and then later after Blue Skies reads the police report and finds out that the party - silver included - has robbed a coin collection, cut pictures out of frames, and stolen a mare's jewelry, she would have told Silver something like 'you can never again criticize my government. If you think we Blackhooves are thieves who break in to hearth and home under cover of night, you are nothing better' and basically would have said something like 'clean your room' to Silver anytime he got onto her about the supposed moral superiority of Equestrians
Iron's an intimidating boi, that's for sure.
>>85101Well, it happened, so nothing more can be done. Congratulations on being the first person to guilt trip me in a long ass time, especially about something as silly as pinching a mare's jewelry in a game.
[1d20+7 = 16]>>85105This is about the time I should be able to roll Wild Empathy, to see if I can influence the dog's attitude towards me.
>"If I open the door, will you promise to be a good boi?" A 15 would normally be good enough to make a domestic Animal friendly, unless this boi has a particularly bad disposition...
>>85101Brie nods uncomprehendingly. "Sounds like I should probably clear the area then. Am I intruding?"
>>85106>"I am a good boy! I am the guardian of the pool house!">>85108He stares at the queer pony
"Not... particularly"
[1d20+5 = 23]>>85109Rolling Sense Motive, to see if my check succeeded (what his attitude towards me has become).
>>85110Warmer, but he is still a protective animal, and does not want to stop doing his job as one quite yet
>>85111So, indifferent, or friendly?.
This may determine whether or not I open the door?
>>85112Probably best to try a little more to warm him up first
>>85109Iron waves at the scared guard. "You will confess your true identity sooner than later."
>>85116>"Then why don't you come out with us for a bit? Being kooped up inside can't be good for you."Sister Ash commands Caleb to 'stay' beside her as she telekinetically opens the door.
>>85118>"Why would I want to harm the pool house? I'm only looking for somepony."She produces her photograph
>"Have you seen this foal?" >>85119Now here is the question I want to ask Ash: which foal?
>>85118Iron does not relent "If you keep dodging the question, you will not have a happy life. Are you sure that you are not a mare pretending to be a stallion? Mares are usually more stubborn than stallions, and you are acting quite stubborn."
>>85120Fuck, I thought she knew which foal had been bought by this guy.
Correction, she produces all three of her photos, and shows them to the doggo.
>>85123>"I'm looking for a foal that may have been lost or hiding here. Would you mind if I looked around?"
Is there a third building?
>>85130Well fuck. I must have missed something. Either me or this dog.
>"Did you happen to notice any strange foal that may have come by lately? A new foal, one that didn't smell like the rest?" Off topic, but just read the entry for "What Lies Beneath." Cozy Glow is definitely getting appointed as a Black Hooves governor
So are either of the idiots tied up?
>>85139Lol no, they would get punchedif they tried.
>>85141Do they all have machine guns?
>>85142Not really. Just creating a suitable replacement if Iron kicks the bucket from bad rolls.>>85143Nope. Booth guard who you're talking to has a shotty, the second guard uses a baton and the third one may or may not have a concealed pistol.
