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.

>>85299"Stick the sword into the doorframe, and pry it open." She says, a little frustrated
... maybe more bonuses cuz dark?
>>85302I sure hope Brie knows what the fuck he's doing.
>>85300As the guy is inside a booth with walls on two sides...
“Hello again. We sent the other two to see the address so we know where to send the firefighters”
>>85306I don't think he does, but my mission just got a few hours loppoed off of its time limit...
[1d20+2 = 4]>>85304He sighs. "Right..."
Strength: Silver unsheathes his greatsword, and sticks it into the doorframe, trying to use it like a prybar.
>>85301>>85304Dark Star and spark make their way over to the pool house
and is the house brie set on fire the same one we just came out of? [1d20+1 = 20]>>85309"Let me try."
Sister Ash makes a check using her telekinesis.
>>85309Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on my sweater already. Mom's spaghetti.
>>85312Mare power at it again.
>>85312Well, fuck you again, dice.
>>85309The thing bounces
>>85310Yes. Yes it is.
>>85312Welp, the breaks the lock the fuck out
>>85312>>85315Silver stares in silent confusion and awe. "...Well, it turns out you did not need my help in first place." He sheathes his sword again.
>>85315Sister Ash sticks her head into the chamber with her lightrock and peers inside.
>>85310The one you just came out of>>85307If the guard goes for the phone, would he be able to see Brie approach?
>>85315I'll suppose the afternoon meal is cancelled for now, seeing that Brie is currently doing some stupid shit.
Here's hoping the waitress was a changeling to bond with >>85315"Son OF A DIAMOND DOG."
Dark Star goes back over to the window and calls the pupper over to the window
"Boy The house is on fire come with me."
>>85320Is there a fire extinguisher?
Wait, has anyone seen the fire yet?
>>85320>>85321Silver hears Star's shout from the poolhouse. "...Did you hear that, Ash?"
>>85323We have to do something about that smoke before anypony sees it.
>>85325"No." She replies,her head stuck in the closet
>>85327>>85315Silver heads for one of the poolhouse windows to see what the commotion is about.
>>85317More wine bottles. Some cans of food
>>85318The phone is within reach of the guard, and presumably he is looking out through the door of the booth waiting for the other two to return with the address
>>85320>”FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” >>85326I dont have any spells for this. or any way to put it out. i should really fucking invest in a fire extinguisher if you firebugs
bats are going to keep burning shit.
>>85329"Calm Down boy, come here you'll be ok."
Dark Star reaches his hooves inside to grab the doggo
>>85329>Nothing in the closetAre there any other possible signs of where a child could be hidden? Any unusual smells?
Also can she see the fire?
>>85331Don't forget the pet tarantula. He's in there too.
>>85329"I'm gonna go and see if there's anyone that needs help."
He stashes the bottle (the one he and the guard were drinking from) as near as he can to the booth without being obvious, and then runs toward the house.
>>85338Fire departments arrive in minutes, and we still haven't found our foal.
BACK
>>85333Alright, it is so
>>85332She is looking the opposite direction of the fire, and also I have it on the opposite side of the house. She could look more closely, but it appears to be a sort of pantry
>>85339foal
s>>85341May I ask whether he only runs (versus flying up 30 feet over houses) and whether he tries to enter from the ground level or the window on the roof?
>>85342Flies, since you're giving me a chance to amend, and ground level.
>>85340Gosh darn it...!
Sister Ash ramsacks for a bit more before she looks for anywhere else the foal could be.
By now, what places haven't been searched?
>>85343He can fly over a set of houses, and thus arrive
before the car drives by the house. On the way over he thinks he sees ponies by the pool house in the back, but no obvious lights on. The front door to the house is locked
>>85344Well, she hasn't done a search roll on the pantry
[1d20+5 = 11][1d20+5 = 14]>>85345Rolling Search for both her and Caleb
>>85345He decides to see what the ponies by the pool-house are about
[1d20-1 = -9]>>85346Search: Silver tries to help Ash search.
>>85347It looks like there are no lights on over there. There seems to be at least three of them inside of there, with two dogs that are not barking
>>85346>>85348It looks as if there is a very large movable cover on the floor of the pantry, covering almost the entire floor. Would you believe that it is locked?
[1d20+1 = 18]>>85349Rolling to pry it open like before
>>85349>>85346"Think you can work your lock-breaking magic again, Ash?"
>>85350>>85351The prying is able to cause the part of the cover that attaches to the lock to break off. Moving it aside reveals a stair case going down, away from the house. Wooden steps
>>85352Sister Ash proceeds down the stairs with the light orb levitated ahead of her.
