Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where 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.
Half of the party - Brie, Onyx, and Spark - are on a train to far off Bales to try to cross the border into the Changeling Lands. the other half remains in Baltimare, where Silver is searching catacombs seeking books filled with long buried dark secrets, Dark Star is having luck with his marefriend, and Iron aiding in trafficking exotic animals

>>93098"When he says Equality amongst the races, he means "EveryCreature" right? well Earth Ponies are Very Valuable to any State in which we are in. but there is no Superior Pony. we Ponies Complement Each others Strengths and Cover Each others weaknesses. When We Are united on a single goal we are unstoppable, Chrysalis herself Could Not Break the united Tribes of pony-kind."
>>93102Brie's pupils dilate a bit, the only outward indication that he's pleased by this info.
"Sie könnten ihr Aussehen einer erwachsenen Drohne vorführen?"
Yeah, I noticed that too >>93102Here's hoping. With that taken care of, Silver returns to his original goal, and searches the vaults at the far end of the hallway.
>>93103She is silent for a moment
"Now
you sound like Silver. Well, we pegasi will go defeat the Griffins and Chrysalis, while Earth ponies can harvest the crops and the unicorns can shine or armor"
>>93102He chuckles.
"You are right. I should not worry."
And thus, Iron walks to the room she pointed.
So the unicorn mare is Saint Germane? There was another pony apart from Rays, right? >>93104"Wir könnten ja"
>>93105The first one has a few barrels in it, though badly decayed.
Also, It appears that a number of the ghouls are congregating in this area
>>93107Only those two. I don't believe this unicorn has ever actually stated that she is, that's just the logical conclusion. Also, the name is Saint Gallop. I though I was getting that wrongThis room seems to be a location where wears would be tested or repaired, or otherwise altered. There is a drill and a sowing machine, among other things
>>93106"Oh Please, We Fight Just as well."
>>93108Silver uses his pocket watch to see how long it's been since his last potion use, before continuing on. He most certainly does not want to fight all of these at once, especially in his current state, should the effect wear off.
>>93109Iron awaits the pony for some
hot armor unequipping.
>>93111She raises an eyebrow
"You know both changelings and griffins can fly, right?"
>>93110"Six" comes to mind, for some reason, but I don't know if that number is too high>>93112The
last potion? Less than 10 minutes. Maybe 7?
>>93113She starts removing the armor, then places a bandage in some areas
"Damn, she good you
good" she says with a mild laugh
\r
>>93115"I can shoot em out of the sky,like shooting fish in a barrel."
>>93115Iron chuckles.
"Yeah. I thought it was a nice kitty. A round of scratching and biting cleared up the misunderstanding."
>>93115Silver's a little relieved, knowing he has enough time to search around a little before using another.
Silver pries open the decaying barrels using his sword to have a look inside.
>>93118Oh shit! He gets
her to laugh
"This will hurt"
Without much warning, she places rubbing alcohol on an open wound
It burns>>93120The first one has organic matter. Must have been fish. The second one has some sort of chemical in it (saltpeter? Arsenic?). It's a bit eroded by water
>>93115You can refine that number if you like, we can leave it at "They tell Brie how many"
Brie smiles unreservedly. "Danke, genau das musste ich wissen. Ich habe später vielleicht noch mehr Fragen, aber ich muss erst einmal darüber nachdenken."
Crashing out, 'night all. >>93121Nothing worth taking, unfortunately, even if he could. He leaves them alone, heading back into the hallway to see what else is left to explore.
>>93122Sleep well. >>93121Iron inhales sharply at the mysterious substance's burning effect.
"Ooh. Yeah. Gave her some meat and she suddenly was totally fine with me dragging it along."
Iron chuckles.
"Speaking of, what is your business with that tiger?"
>>93123Seems to be the hallway to his left now, and the hallway to his left he passed by earlier
>>93124She gives a small frown at the sexual innuendo then says
"She was captured in the jungle, stored here, then sent off to a buyer in Skyfall"
>>93125"Tree cover, mountains, clouds, travel. Speed is the biggest part actually. And many other details that are difficult to appreciate until you are actually out on the battlefield"
>>93127Iron nods, chuckling at her slight irritation of his joke.
"I see. I suppose it is a sort of exotic pet or are you going to use its hide?"
>>93127To make sure he has nothing left to explore, he tries the hallway he passed earlier.
>>93127"the Same Could Be Accomplished with some earth ponies and some jets."
>>93128"If they wanted its hide they would have taken it dead. It must be some kind of pet, or something. We don't ask"
>>93129Back upstairs?
>>93130"The hell is a 'jet'?"
>>93131Oh, that hallway. Thought you were talking about one down on that floor.Silver turns to his left, and continues down this hallway.
>>93130Jet technology doesn't come around until around 1019. >>93131Iron nods.
"I see."
A little pause.
"So, how is Rays doing? I feel like being taken from her comfort zone back at the abbey, aside from possible mistreatment during her captivity, can do some damage to her mind."
>>93132There is one room that appears new on the bottom level
>>93133She laughs
"Planes can't replace pegasi, or even grounded troops for that matter"
>>93135"As much as losing her parents? She was going to get damaged one way or another. What matters more is how she is built up after that"
>>93136The dutiful explorer that he is, Silver enters this mysterious new room.
>>93136"the plane is an amazing Creation. And its not supposed to replace Grounded troops."
>>93136"I get it. I was wondering what you were planning with her. I think you are going for a heir to your business if my previous contact with the other mademare is any indication."
>>93139"That is a possibility. She has a while until then. In the meantime, she shall be an assistant"
>>93138"And thus the pegasi retains its place in the tip of the spear. Also in the cockpits of new aircraft as well, of course"
>>93137Would you believe it? A storage room
>>93140Iron cocks his head.
"You mean you just took her for any other reason?"
[1d20-1 = -3]>>93140This whole area must have been used for storage, both for test subjects and materials.Search: Silver gives a look-through in this room for anything of note.
Alright, I am going to sleep
>>93148I need to train harder on my herding skills.
Hopefully the pussy doesn't bite so hard like last time. >>93154Here I am, but I'm not going to be very active for today. Maybe I'll squeeze out 1 to 3 responses for today. Busy day ahead and all.
>>93154So, I suppose cyka blyat hoers is reporting for duty. At least, after I have a bite to eat. I'm fuckin' starving right now.
>>93142>>93142Some barrels, rusted things, rocks. Kind of boring actually
>>93141“What do you mean?” She asks
>>93159Iron simply shrugs.
"It feels like you just took her in without any sort of purpose. Am I wrong with that statement?"
>>93159Seems like most everything of note down here has been destroyed by time and elements. Feeling enough time has passed, Silver downs another potion of Hide From Undead, and continues travelling down the hallway to see if it connects to the other side they had already explored.
>>93160She has a look of offense, perhaps feigned
“She is my
assistant.”
>>93161It appears that it does. There is some movement of air through, and a single small hole allowing light in through where the hole was previously located
>>93163Good. By time we are ready to head back here, air should be breathable once again. With the lower section explored, Silver heads back upstairs, now on the left side of the catacombs. Before traveling down the unexplored hallway up here, he looks inside of the library that got set ablaze to see if anything is recoverable at all.
[1d20 = 15]>>93162>>93162"Sure. I get that, but I feel like that was not the plan to begin with. Did you take her in for that explicit purpose or was it something else?"
Iron attempts to get a feel on her current emotions and thoughts.
Previous post is deleted. >>93164That’s definitely a search roll
>>93166Slight annoyance, like she feels like Iron is not understanding her
>>93167A little pause.
"Ah, I guess I am overthinking stuff. Well, I am sure you will do great, with how tender and caring you are with my wounds."
A smile adorns Iron's face.
>>93168It appears as if most of the lower shelf has not been
completely destroyed. However, the items that have been destroyed outnumber those that have not, and many books seem to be basically “charred,” or damaged beyond any easy recovery
>>93169She nods, and does not smile back
“Yes... she’ll learn eventually” she says, with a bit of annoyance
>>93171He sighs, disappointed. Still, when he comes back, at least there will be something from here that can be recovered. There's some worth in that, even if most of this has been destroyed.
One last hallway. With everything else explored, he heads down the last unexplored hallway, directly across from the library he's in.
>>93171"I suppose."
Iron feels like he stepped a little too far with the foal discussion. He simply remains silent, eager to either end the conversation or redirect it somewhere else.
>>93172Only two doors. One to the left, one to the right
>>93173She looks at him with a sort of suspicious curiosity
“What is your role with this whole ‘foal’ thing?”
>>93174Silver tries the right door first.
>>93174"Like I said, I am simply looking out for her and be sure she is as safe as possible."
Iron shrugs.
"Aside from that, nothing too personal."
>>93177Iron hums for a bit.
"You never told me what your business sells and buys. I am pretty sure nopony here would take a tiger, seeing how simple fight clubs are illegal."
Okay. Last I checked, Brie was concocting a diabolical scheme based on what the Lings told him. That,... hasn't changed much.
>>93181Indeed he was. Kerr nods, and Wesley wraps himself in the blanket
>>93182Any decision about how many, or are we leaving that blank for the moment?
Spark continues his search for a new car of the train. He decides to go towards the front of the train, going back through the sleeper he came from.
Brie is content to stay by the Lings for the time being, thinking about what is to come.
>>93191I'm just announcing my presence for anyone here. Go ahead and do whatever when you're free, I'll be fine.
>>93172I forgot to describe this partThere is a musket and a breastplate on the ground in the hallway
>>93175This room seems to be rather different from those that preceded it. There is a dresser to the left, a desk, also to the left, and a jacket and sword upon the ground
>>93180She grins
"Of course no pony would take a tiger. That is why that specimen was destined to a buyer in Skyfall. As for my business... well, I buy and sell things. Consider me the middlemare, or a master of arbitrage."
>>93189Kerr starts to rip the bread into pieces, while Wesley stares outside the window
>>93146Blue Skies seems contented for having proven the superiority of the Pegasi race
"I think it's time we get our ticket" she says
Whether Dark Star is willing to just accept her attitude and words is another thing
>>93195Iron nods, somewhat understanding her job.
"I see. What does Skyfall have that would want a tiger? I never heard of the place."
>>93196"It has wealthy upper class Griffin merchants, who would see owning an exotic animal as a sign of status"
>>93197Iron's lips extend in a straight line, confused by their customs.
"That is a dumb way to measure eachother's members. I do not think tigers are money-makers unless they were skinned. I would not know myself."
>>93198“They show them off to guests, I guess. It’s a money maker for me, and that’s all I care about”
>>93199Iron chuckles.
"You are right. Hopefully the next time I try this, you do not have to spend on more of this thing you are using on me. I would think it would make a dent on your money making."
I'll be in in about 1/2 hour when the MLP stream starts
But, there's little for Brie to do if Onyx and Sparks aren't active.
>>93200“Assistants getting themselves hurt is not really desired” she says this almost emotionless, as she is focusing on patching up another area of wounds. “I’ve seen dumber injuries”
>>93201Hopefully one of the two will show up
>>93202Iron tilts his head.
"I know."
He looks to the ground for a bit.
"What is your role as a mademare? I never did get that about the profession."
