Occupied Equestria - Prelude to Coming Madness
Anonymous
VhNVX

No.91000
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.

To 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

>>92633
And 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

The 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

A 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.

I 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.

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.

Quite 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.

The 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

>>92713
Indeed. 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

Alright, 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.

Wind 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

Wait 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.

Silver makes a half-turn towards the source of the sound, expecting...well, to be honest, he's not sure what he's expecting. Hopefully nothing, or his ears playing tricks on him. After all, sudden, spontaneous singing in a place like this normally means trouble. Might actually explain why Ponyville used to get destroyed every week or so...

Silver relaxes upon this realization, and the utterance of the familiar song title. "Новый Мареландер. Конечно. Probably off-duty and enjoying his time off."

With that fear abated, he turns to the blocked off hole for the task ahead. One by one, he wraps a telekinetic sheath around those boulders that he is capable of moving, and pulls them out of the pile. He makes sure to keep out of the tunnel itself to avoid being potentially crushed by a sudden cave-in.

"Up jumped the swagmare, sprang into the Billabong. You'll never take me alive says he..."
The voice is able to inflect the tonal change from the joyful tone of the previous verse to the sad tone of the final verse. Despite that, it's definitely a freaky voice. Scrathy, breaking at points, but it does sound sort of intoxicated.

The little rocks are removed one by one, but there's still quite a chore to remove all of them

What strange names, he wonders to himself, as he works to remove the rocks one-by-one, sweating from the strain this use of magic is putting on him. He hopes the stallion is enjoying himself, whoever it is.

Silver stops after a few minutes, almost collapsing from exertion. "Phew...Магия это тяжелая работа." He looks at what he's managed to do so far, if he's created a sizable opening for air or at least gotten part of the way there.

Another day, another drunk pony mistaking Silver as a dirty Red. Not the first time this has happened, but it's certainly one of the rare times in which Silver isn't also drunk. And also the first time this has happened in a quarry.

As if somepony flipped a switch, Silver forgets the strain on his body. He steps forward away from his would-be attacker and turns towards him. He also gets into a defensive stance, in case he tries throwing another punch in Silver's direction. "What in fuck?"

After some thought, I have come up with a simple unicorn mare cleric. However, I have no clue what deity she should follow. I was thinking to go with Celestia, where healing and sun are her domains. Simple "Treat ponies nice. If they're not nice, they get a fireball thrown at them" kind of belief. Unsure if this Celestia would allow making those decisions. If she cannot have Celestia as her deity, then I'll just make her a good-aligned cleric. Not sure if lawful or chaotic yet.

I suppose the first step is seeing if Blue would even speak with Silver after he does this job. I'm so far behind on what's been going on, I'm not sure if she would or if she'd just shoot him on sight.

Behind Silver appears a pale green pegasus, wet from being in the lake. At least, the coat appears pale green. It has an almost pickled appearance, like the green hue of the coat itself has been washed away. On his head is a tan cattleman's hat, strapped onto the head by a thin strip of leather. This hat as well appears to have faded from a darker brown. the grey mane drips down and sheds water. But his face... the lips themselves appears somewhat swollen and pickled, save for an area on the right where the lips appear missing entirely. The nose likewise appears swollen and bleached. His right eye is enitrely white, with the pupil missing, and the left eye is green with a cataract. He's wearing a tan uniform, and darker pants. He has a gun slung over his shoulder, but he's not using it. And the stench... It's like dead fish

"HRRK!" The lake ghast's hoof tears through Silver's neck, taking a chunk of his flesh with it. Silver holds a forehoof to the new wound, choking on a curse yet-to-be uttered. Nothing critically vital was hit however, and his unconscious utters a prayer to his lucky stars for that.

His magic remains stalwart despite the strike to his throat, and takes another swing to the left with his greatsword, focusing less on raw power and more on just getting the hit in.

It's finally over...

His breath comes in short, pained gasps for air, and his hoof is the only thing keeping him from bleeding out onto the quarry floor. Crimson red flows down his neck and foreleg, staining the collar and hoof cuff of his olive-drab uniform, and dripping down onto the cold stone below him. The ghast did a number on him in that encounter. Wasting no time, should there be any more hiding underneath the surface of the water, he quickly grabs the pony's rifle probably a Rose Type-E, since that's a New Marelander soldier and looks through what remains of the pony's possessions. He'd bold his breath to avoid smelling the rotting fish aroma of the lake ghast, but he is finding it hard enough to breathe as is.

With the wound dressed, he downs a potion of Cure Light Wounds to help it heal. He also takes the time to read whatever is on the piece of paper, dog tag, and medals, look at the other objects he acquired for any signs of serious damage, and give the firearm an examination.

The piece of paper:

"To all of you, the fighting mares of the 19th, I want to congratulate you on your courage and vigor. After months of almost stale fighting in the brutal jungles of the South, we have broken the back of the Equestrian military. Victory now is nothing less than inevitable. After a half of a millennium of domination, the population of New Mareland has firmly and resolutely declared its independence against its puppet masters, and survived the tests against its sovereignty. The 19th Infantry will have the honor of eliminating the last resistance, and likely have the honor of accepting the final surrender before the buggers our comrades in arms. One final battle is all that remains. I am honored to lead you, and Godspeed.

- General Ironwood"

The water bottle is fine. The Binoculars.... well, they at least need the fluid that seeped inside removed. The gun looks to be a very ugly submachine gun of some sort
