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.

Okok, 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.

I 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.

The 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

Iron 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.)

I did not explicitly asked that tiger to claw and bite me, you know? Poor Iron thought it was a nice tiger, admittedly due to naivety and stupidity. BUT STILL.

The 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

Iron 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.

It 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

Iron 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.

Iron 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.)

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

Iron 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.

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.
