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.

>>92831The letter brings a frown to Silver's face, and in a hoarse voice he speaks: "If only your country had not invaded, we would have won this War. And we would not have to deal with Chrysalis any longer." With a softer voice, or at least as soft as he can make it, he looks down into the quarry at where he and Green Basin had fought and speaks again. "Rest now, Private. Your fight is over."
He puts the dog tag and medals in a special compartment in his bags, making a mental note to give them to the Black Hooves when he returns. He also puts the binos and the water bottle away in his bags, separate from his other possessions, and slings the SMG over his shoulder. The Bits Gun, if his memory of firearms is correct. A significantly lighter and cheaper weapon compared to the Equestrian-made Limestone or the Crystal Empire's Snowflake SMG, though it can't be argued that it's still an effective weapon even if it's a bit less reliable than others.
Feeling slightly better, at least to the point where he can breathe, he heads into Curwhinny Farm's basement. He puts on a gas mask and an air cannister before heading into the dangerous, poison gas-filled tunnels proper.
>>92840*though it can't be argued it's not still
>>92840>less reliableReee, it's specially made for jungle environments.
He should be able to find the basement soon enough. His eyes should gaze upon the spot where he got his ass beat by Iron in a stupid fight that he took basically just so Skies could have sex
was it worth it/>>92841"Alright, I withdraw my pity for you flightless creatures"
>>92843Dark Star Chuckles
"although,sometimes i do wish i was born with my brothers wings instead of my good looks."
>>92844She smiles
"Not every pony can have both"
>>92845Dark Star Laughs
He Finishes his pizza,and continues drinking his wine
"i probably shouldn't be drinking this much,And i definitely shouldn't go back to the abbey after this."
>>92846"You really probably shouldn't. Alcohol can be a dangerous drug"
She takes a large sip of her wine
[1d20+3 = 19]>>92843With his gas mask affixed to his face, and his new flashlight turned on to light the way, he enters the tunnels.
Listen: Because he doesn't trust his eyes in this dark, and because he can't smell any ghasts that would normally be coming his way with his gas mask on, Silver keeps his ears open for any sign of trouble as he travels along.
Probably, if Star hadn't accepted the fight after Silver got beat down anyways. >>92847Dark Star takes an even larger ship of his wine
"ah,i'll be fine."
>>92848Oh there's movement alright
>>92849"So, you're of.... 'mixed' heritage?" she asks
>>92850"Yeah,my Father's Father "Black Star" was a Pegasus. i think Dad said he was from New Mareland. As Far as i know thats the only non-earth pony relative i have."
>>92850For a brief moment, Silver lifts his mask, downs a potion of Hide From Undead, and puts the mask back on without drawing breath. There is no way he's going to face any ghasts down here, especially after getting his throat ripped out back in the quarry. He lifts his pocket watch to the light, checking the time so he knows when he'll need to down another potion.
Okay, I should be set. Silver once more continues down the path to his goal.
>>92852Where is his goal, precisely?
>>92851"From New Mareland?" She raises an eyebrow at Dark Star
>>92853With a significant amount of the left fork discovered, Silver takes a right at the fork in the tunnel. In his mind, he remembers that this is where they saw the group of foal ghasts fled.
>>92854Oh, but they can moveGoing down the first section of the hallway, Silver comes upon a closed wooden door
>>92855Might as well try it to see if it is locked. Silver does as much as his thoughts say.
>>92856It does indeed seem to be locked
>>92857Might be Curwhinny kept something here, then. Lacking the door-crushing telekinetic strength of his compatriots, he looks for either a lock or hinges he can break using his hammer.
>>92853"Yea from New Mareland, he immigrated to Equestria 80 years ago. I have some Faint Memories of him,he was in the hospital and he was close to the end at the time, so i didn't get to know him. But Dad told me he was in the New Mareland Army before he immigrated here."
>>92858The door itself is very old, and probably weak. There is a lock on the right and hinges on the left
>>92859"I see" she says
"Any Unicorns in your family?"
[1d20+2 = 16]>>92860Strength: With his hammer in his telekinetic grip, he strikes the lock to try to break it open.
>>92861It breaks open. Not just the lock breaking, but the wood next to it breaks as well, folding in two. It appears to have decayed on the inside
>>92862That works. Pushing his way past the destroyed door, he takes a look at what such a locked door could be hiding.
>>92860"There are no Pickle heads in my family tree."
>>92863Thus far, it appears to be a mirror of the other side. There are crypts on a wall, with a hallway extending down to his left
>>92865Why would this be locked? Was other side locked as well before we arrived?Silver takes a brief look for any books in the crypts before proceeding down the hallway.
>>92866Okay, I have to sleep now
Hope you are not kill tomorrow Who is available today? I think it will be at least an hour before I am available, but i should be available later
>>92871Ikr? You will manage, don't worry.>>92870It all depends on your decision and the dice.
>>92866The crypts themselves appear to, well, at least stay closed. Three of them are sealed shut
[1d20-1 = -15]>>92873What is with this side of crypts?Search: Silver looks around the sealed crypts for any way to open them.
>>92874That would most assuredly confuse the hell out of Silver. >>92873Whispering to the Lings (waiting, if any ponies are in earshot) Brie says "Möchten Sie etwas zu sich nehmen? Es ist keine Liebe, aber es gibt viele materielle Dinge zu essen, die Sie vielleicht lecker finden."
>>92875They are sealed, although it looks like applying a fairly small amount of pressure with a narrow instrument, like a crowbar (or sword) on the edges allow them to be pryed open
>>92877This raises some serious questions about Changeling biology
>>92878Her last question was “Do you have any unicorn heritage?”
>>92877Both reply: “Ja”
“Sicher”
>>92880Okay,
Iron does NOT get insta-killed after shaking the chain. He does get scratched
“Rawr!”
>>92879There's a benefit to being an old relic like Silver, he realizes, as he unsheathes his greatsword and attempts to pry open the sealed crypts.
Not sure if that requires another skill check or not.Also, can I rearrange some of Silver's skills? I'd like to take one point out of both Swim and Jump and put them into Climb, and change his two points in Handle Animal to Heal. >>92879"No,I don't have any pickle heads in my family tree."
>>92881Brie takes a seat at one of the tables, looking around for a menu.
>>92881Ahok. It felt like you were ignoring me for some reason and I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not.Iron now understand that the tiger, admittedly obvious, has grown to dislike the chain if its clawing at him is any indication. He throws the last piece of meat over the tiger, aiming to land inside the cage behind him.
(This way I can place the chain on its neck while it's distracted again.)
That would work right? >>92883She nods, “Good sir. Speaking of which, can you believe that Silver is keeping Changeling drones in his room?”
>>92882They plop right open
At least the first two are occupied by corpses
>>92884A menu is available, and details a number of items, from pasta to special sandwiches, to many varies of fruits and breads
>>92885It was because of the tiger and iron’s shot rollsWell... it’s distracted
>>92887As to be expected. Silver is more concerned with if there's any books to be had inside of them.
