Set 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.
Silver is learning about foreign pony cultures, Dark Star is preparing to put on a play for the children of the Saint Prancis Orphanage, Onyx has received several possible missions from the government, Brie is buying clothing, presumably for a long journey. Ash and Iron are leaving the office of a now enraged gangster... or not.

>>92631To the left, is a rather over sized grey cage with straw on the ground. It looks like it must have been made for smaller animals, because much of it is bent, and the bars are thing and not spaced very far apart. Inside of this cage is an orange tiger, lying on its side, evidently trying to sleep
>>92633And thus they kiss on. Blue skies moves her hoof down, then underneath her as she sits there in her part of the table kissing him. He can feel her breath through mouth now as well
>>92634I-is Skies going for masturbation already? Also can Iron even fit in the cage with the tiger?Iron steps forwards, closing the distance to the cage. He looks for that chain to rechain the tiger with.
>>92634>inb4 we get banned from this restaurantDark Star seeing this has an even more prideful look on his face, and he reaches up and rubs her ears, at the same time he is continuing his assault on Blue's Mouth.
>>92635When a quadruped sits up, its forelegs are straight underneath it, and it sits on its hindWell, it's not on the tiger, though it is wearing a collar. Now wear could that chain be?
>>92636Her ears twitch at this, and she lets out a *coo*
[1d20-1 = 0]>>92637I suppose. Add a rando pony calling out "Is this allowed? Is that thing allowed?!" to the duo just for memes.Iron shakes his head. He starts pacing around the room, looking for that chain. Rolling search.
>>92638Well hell, there it is. On the ground next to tiger, obviously
>>92640Oh.Iron circles around the cage, trying to see where can he enter the cage. He takes another look at the tiger's current state.
(Well, time to go inside.)
>>92641The tiger's state changes as Iron nears it. It starts to wake up - it must have been already - and looks at Iron. It growls audibly as he comes near. The door doesn't look that large, and parts of it look bent. There is a simple bolt lock on it. It looks like if he enters the cage, he will only be a few feet away from the Tiger, although not
quite immediately next to it, thanks to where the Tiger is positioned and the small size of the cage
[1d20 = 2]>>92642Iron tries to get a feel of the tiger's current emotional state, especially if he wants food or anything of the sort. Another sense motive roll.
>>92637Dark Star lets a Grunt pleasure, His eyes glued to the hoof under her. he redoubles the effort in the kiss.
>>92643It’s a kitty. Just give it a yarn ball, or pet it or something
>>92645The hoof is inactive, but she pulls away
“That’s enough for a restaraunt, Dark Star”
>>92647Don't listen to her. It's time for sum fuck right here on the restaurant. Courtesy be damned.Iron shrugs. He decides to open the cage to retrieve the chain from inside, making sure to leave the cage open just in case it wants to get out.
(I can always pet the kitty if it's not comfortable with me.)
>>92647Dark Star seems a little red
"heh, i guess you're right."
>>92648lmao no thanks. Dark Star Doesn't need to get on a list. >>92649Well, he’s akready pretty red.
She ruffles his fur on his head, moving his ears about
>>92648And before he even he even opens it, it growls at Iron more intensely
>>92650Dark Star lets out the Cutest noise she has ever heard him make.
>>92651A squeaky? She reluffles his head dome more, making his ears dance about
>>92650Iron chuckles.
"Aw. Kitty wants some petting, do you not?"
He swings open the door, presenting how much of a fuck he gives at the tiger's discomfort.
Mostly due to a bad sense motive roll. >>92652yes a squeaky sound, Dark Star lets out another one.
[1d20+9 = 27]>>92653“RAH!” It claws Iron
>>92654“You’re adorable” she says
>>92656"i'm not Adorable, i'm Dark and Edgy."
[1d20+8 = 15]>>92658A sharp pain notifies Iron that the tiger has indeed clawed him somewhere, passing through his armor. Mostly a graze, as far as tiger grazes go.
Iron grunts in pain, then utilizes the pain from his injury to scream at it in order to intimidate it into submission.
"RAH!"
>>92659She laughs at this
“Haha”
>>92661Hmmm... I don’t reallt think that skill works on animals
>>92663Dark Star laughs too and takes a bite of his pizza and sips some more of his wine. then glances around to see if anyone noticed them.
>>92666I think so, Satan incarnate.
Poner in pic is now e-b-i-l [1d20+7 = 12]>>92665If any pony noticed them, they have since looked away in the time that Skies was playing with Dark Star's ears, and Star was eating pizza
>>92661Fuck it, let's do an opposed roll
>>92670Well, uh. I think that's good. However, we can, you know, still have a fistfight, but the tiger has like -1 or -2 modifier to its attacks for my successful roll if you want thrilling pony on tiger action.
>>92671You want to fist fight a tiger?
[1d20+7 = 24][1d20+7 = 24]>>92673NoShe jumps at Iron, clawing and biting with her massive jaw
“RAWR!”
>>92674>>92675Oh... Well, I feel threatened for real now.
[2d6+3 = 8][2d8+12 = 22]>>92676Rolling damage. Remember that the first clawing took down 7 hp
>>92677Uh... Iron may want to close and lock the door
[1d20+7 = 20]>>92678>>92677I should've gone for the successful intimidation roll.Iron, after suffering heavy damage, thinks about retreating. However, he decides to test luck and try to get a hoof on the tiger to see how well it can dodge before moving.
Of course, the punch to the maw has -5 hit bonus for +5 damage from power hit.
It's a coin toss, I know, but he needs to be punished from my mistake of wanting to fight a tiger. >>92679Iron is at like 0 HP if we are being generous
>>92680Okay, that's wrong, but it's still like only 7 or something remaining, and the creature just did 30 HP damage the last round
>>92681>>926806HP. I dunno. I want to at the very least punch the tiger back a little.
At the very worst, this calls for a new character! But I'm sure the tiger cannot
roll high again. Probability says so. [2d6+3 = 13]>>92686Rolling damage on this one
>>92689After four consecutive tests where Iron would have died, Iron survives test 5
>>92690>>92686>>92684>>92683>>92687>>92688>>92689Okok, fine. I won't tempt fate with premature death scenes. Iron goes out of the cage and closes it, feeling defeated and puny compared to the tiger.
Stupid tiger, 4 lucky hits that sucked my HP to 6. Where's an animal whisperer when you need them? I should've taken the intimidation roll. >>92691Probably should lock that thing
The tiger presses up against the cage walls, and roars (lightly) at Iron
>>92692I slightly feel tempted not to after such a failure of a mission so far. Don't mind my salt exertion, I'll go back to normal in a bit after a little venting.Iron fumbles with the lock, just in case it knows how to open the thing. He also tries to gauge if he can pass his hooves through the bars if possible. He may have an idea on how to get the chain.
>>92693The cage is really almost like a chicken coup or a fox trap. In most areas, the bars are are too close together to allow a hoof to go through. However, there are multiple areas where the spread is wide enough for a hoof
>>92694Iron tries to check if any opening are near the chain while also keeping track of the tiger's position.
(If I get the chain and the tiger goes to a place where I can snake my hoof through, I can place the chain on him.)
>>92670Dark Star Drinks Some More of his wine
>>92691>Iron goes out of the cage and closes it, feeling defeated and puny compared to the tiger.Now you know how Dark Star feels after losing that hoof fight
>>92696The chain is about 4 feet away from the closest opening, being that the 'cage' is designed almost like a cell, with the wall of the basement being at the back, an the chain is a little closer to the back than the front
>>92696The wine is drunk. Skies has nothing to say at the moment
>>92698Iron is a bit miffed at this current current situation.
(Well the chain seems unreachable from my current position. I do not have a foreleg that long.)
You sure it's feet and not inches?He tries to gauge if the tiger can be lured with food to a place where he can pass through and get to the chain at least.
>>92699Well, there might just be enough room to lure it over to the left, but the cage is tight, and there is not
that much room
>>92700Sorry for the absence.Iron looks for this food container the mare talked about before he entered.
(I guess there is no more harm to try. I hate failures like these.)
>>92701Refrigerator, off to the right
>>92702Iron walks over to it and opens it.
(I am expecting some sort of meat to give it.)
>>92703It looks fairly old, even by the less than modern standards of the time, with rust on it. It, along with the one lamp, is plugged into some barely routed electrical system. Opening the refrigerator, are a couple very large pieces of meat, probably basically steak
>>92704Iron nods for a bit.
(This will do.)
He picks up 2 or 3 pieces of the meat and carries it over near the cage. He awaits the tiger's reaction to it.
>>92705The tiger perks up, and looks at the meat intensely.
>>92706Iron places one piece of meat to the left of the cage, outside of it but close enough to maybe try to get the meat if his paw can pass through the cage.
(The more he has to work for his meat, the more time I should be able to fetch and place the chain on its neck.)
>>92712Quite possibly. If I remember correctly, Silver is looking into a partially flooded quarry at the destruction he had wrought last time he was here. I suppose I should ask if he can get to the blocked-off catacombs entrance without drowning or picking up some terrible disease from having to swim through the stagnant quarry water.
I can't find Spark's last post. Forgive me
Onyx looks back up.
"Yeah, I guess it is kind of different..."
>>92714"So, you think you can give them a chance?"
>>92707The Meat can be placed next to the side of the cage, which has bars just slightly smaller than the size of the meat. the tiger can rake the meat forward and try to pull it through, fail, then try to tear it through or off anyways. the good news is that this is about the most time consuming way the tiger could get the meat. the bad news is it's still clawing at it fast
If Iron wants to try to sneak in, that's probably a stealth roll with full armor penalties>>92713Indeed. Less than an hour has passed since.... all the other shit that went down with Silver, so whatever his emotional state after that, it hasn't left him. There is a portion of the quarry that is dry that lead up to the former entrance, only a few feet above water. About half of teh quarry is above water, mostly on the south side, with the North side tending to be deeper and thus filled with water
>>92715Onyx looks out the train window for a few moments
"Yeah... I suppose"
>>92717"Good. Then we can try to meet them again, but I'll let you decide when you are ready for that."
>>92718"Well, uh... Now might be best since they've already.... Fed..."
>>92716Iron now opens the gate, throwing another meat piece at the same side the tiger and the meat are. After this, he moves towards the chain, taking advantage of the tiger being distracted.
>>92719"Ok. Let's go then."
I move to the door, knock twice, wait, and then knock once more.
>>92716Alright, Silver. Focus.With a deep breath, Silver descends into the quarry. He keeps to the dry path, as he's not very excited to get to know whatever is in that (presumably foul-smelling) water. As he arrives and looks at the carnage he had wrought to the entrance, he admits to himself that blowing this shut probably wasn't the best idea, and he would not have had he known that there had been a fire set inside.
Oh well, that's all hindsight, anyways. In the now, he looks at the rocks to try to gauge their weight, and if there's any that look particularly loose in this mess. He wants to find ones that are light enough or easy enough to move using his telekinesis to reopen the passage to air.
>>92724"Hmm..."
I try again to make sure.
"They might have left the room."
>>92724Wind blows past the edge of the quarry, making a howl. Something else, sounds like singing, also can be heard nearby. The quarry is far from the largest, but it's still a couple acres, and at least 40 feet deep in that area. The track of clear rock between the water and the wall is perhaps a dozen and a half feet wide.
The rocks vary in size, but it's obvious that many of them are too big to be moved by telekenesis, while some are not
[1d20-7 = -1]>>92725Uh... That's quite a modifier
[1d20+3 = 15]>>92727Listen: Before Silver gets to work, he raises his ears on a swivel to get at least a general idea of the direction the singing is coming from.
>>92723>>92730I nervously open the door and look around.
>>92729The Tiger looks right back at Iron
>>92731"With that Jolly Jumbuck, you've got in your tucker bag"...From what remains of the lake
>>92732There is nopony in there
\r
>>92733Wait w0t? But his roll is lower overall. Eh, whatever. As long as no pouncing is involved.Iron simply picks up the chain and rattles it a bit to see the tiger's reaction to it.
