Occupied Equestria - Prelude to Coming Madness
Anonymous

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.

Well, I designed him as a scandalous, fast-talking bat-burglar. Jarlaxle meets Discord meets Han Solo (but without Chewy, but I haven't seen Solo so don't attribute prequel Solo)

So does anyone have any questions before I lead everyone on an adventure that totally won't get them captured, raped, drained, killed, and then raped again?

When the DC gets too high, a trusty adamantine dagger can often do the job nearly as well.

While Onyx is waiting for this train stuff, he gets out the whiskey he grabbed and takes a good hard chug.

It's just a question of hardness/sharpness, or at least under the rules pertaining to breaking and entering.
An Adamantine knife will be able to cut through most non-magical materials because it's harder than any non-fictional material. Small objects, like locks, door frames, and glass panels have hit points and can be sundered cleanly if you have the time to do it.

Cut into, yes. Cut through, maybe on a good dice roll, but its not like Adamantine is lightsabre-tier; there are still rules that govern and a decent size wrench will disable a device (train mechanics, for example) just as easy as an absurdly expensive (comparatively) adamantine dagger.

As Onyx Not-a-Changeling chugs, he remembers his new ID card, that beautiful enchanted piece of aluminum that distiguises him as a born citizen of Neighagra, Bales District, East Equestria, and definitely not a former member of the Crystal Empire military, who would be destined to be a slave worker for the Hegemony were he to cross the border by chance

Well, it'll automatically overcome the hardness of any non-magical material, and you can take 10 to sunder objects if you're not pressed for time, plus they don't get opposed rolls when unattended, do you could just carefully cut into them.
Then again, it's a tool made out of a fictional harder-than-diamond material that costs a much as a small house, so it's bound to be reliable even if non-magical.

Adamantine is useful for 2 reasons: damage reduction on armor, and sundering almost any non-magical object to bust through doors, walls, and anything else in your way.

Pic unrelated, because I couldn't find the meme I was looking for.

Okay, seriously. I know most fan fic writers want to make Equestria in Trudea's Canada, but this is set in basically 1943 America, with a quisling government under a foriegn Nazi-esque power. Homosexual sex is probably illegal (although just a fine), and is generally frowned upon

I'm just saying that if the plan is to be non-chalant, non-suspicious, and slip under the radar, then in this setting a man with a relative and the relative's sexual partner is more likely to pretend they are 3 unrelated not-gay friends, than 3 unrelated not-gay friends are to claim that they are a relative and his gay partner.

Dark Star looks at sister peacock feathers with a jubilant expression and says "Im very Excited to do this play for the foals.

Larger than a Double Bedroom, at the highest end save maybe a Master Bedroom, which has fewer bedrooms
