The Adventure continues
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 Eastside Tavern Gang has broken through the house and pool-house of the politician Comte Burgher. What they found has been nothing short of astonishing. Deeds for properties bought by secret societies, seditious communications, cryptic booklets, concerning academic interests, and above all else, a sex dungeon with two young colts chained up, and traumatized. With these, they found something else: two caged and chained up adolescent Changeling drones. So doing what any logically minded group of people would do when encountering caged life-force vampires, they let the things suck on them, then took them home and hugged them and loved them and squeezed them and called them 'George.'
Dark Star is coming to terms with loss in the Stallion's room of the Eastside tavern, while Iron aids him. Silver dreams of an Equestria that is no more and his long lost family (while sleeping in a fairly awkward position). Ash awaits a new dawn of service, Onyx a new life of possible employment, while Brie and Spark stay in a small room with two strange guests

"That depends on where you go outside of Equestria. The Dragon Isles are rocky and mountainous, with dangerous creatures in and around them. Nova Griffonia is cold and hilly along its shores. Zebrica has jungles and Savannah. For the most part, there aren't very many ponies"

"I only stopped in to drop off a load of electronics and pick up a load of oil and wine. But what I saw... Well, when you approach their capital city, you can see the old temples atop the hill, with great marble columns and intricate marble freezes. White plastered buildings with red tiled roofs. Beyond the city, and all along the shore line are these great rolling green hills. Fairly tall, each several hundred feet, and draped in the greenest grass, or in terraces of olive trees. Sometimes capped by temples or houses. And you could see monasteries perched atop sheer cliff drops. Between the hills were more meadows of green grass and grain crops. In the skies you can see well trimmed clouds, and pegasi darting about"

I wouldn't know. Tried looking for it, but a film about a girl's sexual adventures took the term for itself and now redirects to hypersexuality.

>male term for nymphomania called satyriasis.
Huh, seems as though both terms have a Greek mythology theme; they're both sprites associated with sex.

I see. I suppose you can also summon a nymph as well. They are forest creatures if I'm not mistaken
As for the 'getting to it' part, Ash could send Caleb or the nun back to fetch him.

Idk why we're still spoilering.
Nah, Nymphs aren't anywhere on the Summon Nature's Ally table.
Like most Fey, they advance by character class, but their +7 level adjustment renders them virtually unplayable.

Oh. That sounds like a hard nerf on nymphs, then. Strange how you can summon satyrs but not nymphs. I think I see nymphs are a PC class, right?

>hard nerf on nymphs
Nah, that's just the rule for powerful creatures. Nymphs have a lot of powerful abilities that make them as powerful as 13th level PCs at level 6.
Technically, any creature with at least 3 intelligence is playable under the rules of the game (with DM approval), with the proper level adjustment though.l0
Level adjustment basically means that a creature has certain powers or abilities than cause it to be considered X levels above an average creature of its hit dice: that creature needs tohavr more XP to level up, since it's effectively a level higher than other creatures.
Not all races are created equal, so certain PC races wlalso have level adjustment to balance them in gameplay.
For example, think of Drow. Drow are very powerful among elves, possessing boosts to Charisma and Intelligence, in addition to their elf traits and their most notable buff which is their spell resistance; the Drow's game-changing abilities give it a level adjustment of +2. In a campaign that starts at lvl 5, the Drow starts at level 2, but the Drow is still considered to be level 5 for the sake of Experience points, and that Drow also needs just as much XP to level up as a character of 5th level. The affects of level adjustment account for the Drow's racial traits making it superior to most other Humanoids.
Level adjustment is the game's way of allowing races of all kinds to be played, while maintaining balance.

Although, in game, only certain types of fey are sprites. I think that group encompasses Pixies, Nixies, Leprechauns, Brownies, and Grigs.
Nymphs are their own thing.

There actually aren't that many fey creatures in the first monster manual, although the second and third manuals bring in a lot more though.
Idk what would count as fey in Equestria though. I guess Breezies and Parasprites would fit in the creature type.

Possibly.
>>87768
Maybe contact a bird to fetch Iron? You wouldn't be using magic to do that. Just some animal empathy, kind of like Fluttershy does

Eh, I think that'd be stretching the effectiveness of Wild Empathy. Even casting Animal Messenger wouldn't work unless the birb knew who to give it to.
She'll just walk back to get him.
Sprites are basically just the group of fey-type creatures with sizes of small or smaller. Fey can be pretty much any shape or size though.

Right. 4chan is not allowed here. It was a general I used to see at the catalog back when I lurked /mlp/ 1 year ago. Basically, they were top human, bottom pony spawn from copulation between humans and ponies. The thread used to be called that. It's not here in /mlpol/.

Alright. Iron is currently doing laps around the abbey for some resistance training.

And here we thought the changelings were the real danger. Kirins are just preparing for their own assault with snuggles and cuddles. Nopony could resist their floof, fur and scales.

I wonder if they'll add the Kirin Village to Equestria At War once they add Zebrica to the game. Their next big update should be either Zebrica or the rework of Stalliongrad, and I'm excited for either. Imagine the resurrection of the White Army of Severyana, and the creation of the Pony Tsardom in Northern Equestria.

I wonder if they'll make it a big country or just a tribe like some griffonian countries in the game currently. I would also want to know which classifications and special properties the kirins would have.
I can feel the rise of niriks as a possible facist route for the kirin territory.

Neat. We don't have many oriental-styled countries in the mod.
>>87796
It's fairly simple: before you can declare war, you need to justify a casus belli for a specific reason, ranging from forcing your ideology on a different country, to puppeting them, to taking their states. Then you just declare war and do your best to command your armies to victory. If one side ends up victorious, they can enforce their claims on the losing side, even those they haven't justified in exchange for appearing like a threat to the rest of their neighbors and increasing world tension even further. Different ideologies can only declare or justify wars if world tension is at a certain point. Communist and Fascist nations can declare war from the get-go, while Non-Aligned and Harmonist nations can only do so when world tension is beyond the 50% mark. Considering how much, in this game's headcanon, both the Changeling Hegemony and New Mareland have declared war, it's very likely world tension is well beyond the 50% mark.
The kirins will probably have a few states per country, ranging from 1 for countries like the Kirin Village, to 4 for minor countries, to 10 for major countries. I don't expect them to have anything close to the Changeling Land or Olenia's large number of states, and especially not Equestria's ungodly number of states.
