Occupied Equestria: B&E

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.

It was probably a gay couple. Sounds like the most reasonable explanation to me.

Like I said, Dark Star got some good boi points from that. I can see where having laser focus to missions would be useful, but when I see something I can do, I tend to try to do it.

For the ninety-second fucking time, the amount in question is NOT as much as a house. It's about the same amount of money as in 2019 America would buy a new car. That's how much foals cost. A new car, or slightly more

"Well I would imagine. These poor foals. It will take them a very long time to get over it"

Foals don't have a real market price: they're illrgal and immoral to buy, and have no definite cost to produce/acquire. Those are ransom numbers, determined only by how much people are willing to pay on an individual basis.
Also, by that pricing, a suit of full plate also costs as much as a car: d&d prices aren't exactly consistent.
I'd get it if land should cost more though, because of population growth.

Sister Ash nods in agreement.
"... I'm sure they will..." She replies, trailing off.
".. Now what to do..." She wonders, to nopony in particular

Silver shivers a bit at the feeling of the wind against him. He looks with sadness at the changeling-turned-dog. His speech slowly becomes more understandable to the changeling, from the practice he's getting by speaking to him. It's still in a fairly broken state, however. "Es ist schmerzlich, das zu hören. Es tut mir leid, was meine Freundin Ihnen und Ihrem Bruder angetan hat. Nicht alle von uns sind gute Ponys, soviel weiß ich. Aber ich verspreche Ihnen, wir werden dafür sorgen, dass er für das bezahlt, was er getan hat.

"Ich möchte, dass Sie sich von mir ernähren. Sie können nicht helfen, und Sie müssen es tun, um zu leben. Es war klar, dass Sie verhungerten, und ich wusste, dass ich auf diese Weise helfen konnte."

He looks to the foal. "Well, I was not expecting such results." He moves aside to let Brie and the foal in. "Come on in. Silver should not take long."

I was going to make him look like one of Silver's colts so that way the changeling's disguise would be kind of creepy and subtly imply that the changeling had accessed silver's memories, and was using them to try to imitate one of them (probably Silver Rain) but extensive searching through old threads failed to find any descriptions of coat colors. So... I don't know. I feel like one of them was pink for some reason

"Okay..." He rides on the back of the old stallion. Silver can feel a looming dread

>>85787
No exterior damage. It looks as if the issue with the leg is the foal sitting, laying, or kneeling in a way that is awkward for excessive periods of time, placing too much strain on that joint

>>85795
The foal is a dark blue unicorn with white and streaked mane. It looks in around the room, and seems kind of uncertain

Sister casts Cure Minor Wounds to alleviate pain and mend all physical damage.
Then she takes 10 on a Heal check (has a mod that'd give her 17), to help quicjen the foals recovery overnight.

Would that be enough to help him?

Silver Rain had a grey coat and a light grey mane, Spectral Streak had a light grey coat and a dark grey mane with a yellow streak running through it, and White Light had both a light grey coat and a light grey mane. Both Silver Rain and Spectral Streak have the same dark grey dorsal stripe that Silver himself has. Not sure if Silver would be too worried about the changeling taking the form of one of his foals. I think he'd find it a bit endearing.

He figures it's a product of the changeling feeding. As long as he keeps it at such a level, he can withstand this. Silver keeps heading for the Tavern.

How much farther until Silver reaches the Tavern?

His form is of a Pegasus with light grey coat, Dark grey mane. Generally to a passerby he would look like one of Silver's grandchildren, albeit of pegasus race. The little foal seems happy to be riding on his back, and when a chill that runs through Silver is clearly more than just the winter wind, he can be sure the hungry little demon has taken Silver up on his offer
