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

Alright.
Dark Star awakens in a cold sweat
"Buck..."
Dark Star looks at his now thoroughly drenched blankets he Sighs at his Nightmare
"I really shouldn't drink Before Going to Sleep,I always have Nightmares after that."
Dark Star Takes the Sweat Covered blankets off the bed,then he puts them in the corner,And heads down stairs.

"Thanks."
Dark Star Pays him and says "if anyone comes looking for me i'll be at the Fair Grounds on Franklin Benjamare avenue."
And with that Dark Star makes his way there.

She looks back at Iron with an expression of concern
"They said what? They were planning to attack ponies?"
>>93722
It's nightfall, and there are lights on in the headquarters
>>93683
He's arrived at nighttime. there are lights across the street, including from two lampposts that are turned on, presumably the first of many to come. There are a few cricket sounds, but otherwise, the farm is silent

Iron nods.
"Yes. They were trying to pretend to be natives to stop some sort of business agreement or something like that."
A tribal-like version of a bulb turns on in his head, remembering something. He stands up and walks towards the pile of armor plates.
"I think I snagged a paper related to it in that pier where the meeting took place."
He rummages through his inventory to show her.
Up to you if he finds it or not, but I remember he took it. Mostly a business plan of building a sort of natural resource extraction.
Iron nods.

Yes.
Iron nods.
"Were planning open revolt. They were stopped for now. A good thing too, as it let me bring those gold bars back."
He apporaches back to the couch and gently sits on it, releasing the paper from his mouth inbetween the two of them.
"Here. You should know better than me what this means."
Yes.
Iron nods.

There is something almost magical about this nighttime quiet. I can see why bat ponies like it so much. Oh well, time to dive back in. It takes him a minute to prepare the gas mask for the adventure: reattaching the air cannister to the gas mask, working the valves so he can actually breath while wearing the damn thing, checking the filter, and prepping another cannister in case he needs to swap them out. He doesn't yet trust the quality of air inside the catacombs. Give it a day to air out, perhaps, and he might be more willing to do so.
Parking his cart right outside the cellar entrance, Silver, deciding he's ready, puts on his gas mask and dives right back on in to the dank, dark catacombs. Hello again, my friend.

Iron shrugs.
"I just went in, beat up some of the weak ponies there towards the ship and grabbed a chest containing some gold bars. Nothing else apart from that. No idea why the explosion happened but it was sure nice since I get a good amount of money for it."
He nods when Cauldron confirms the nature of the document.
"I see. Nothing particular about it? Anything like who is proposing what to whom?"

Iron cocks his head.
"I just said what I did. Punch ponies and got gold bars. Nothing too dramatic, apart from severe machete wounds from a griffon leader."
He frowns, remembering such disgraceful death he suffered.
(I was too much of a coward to ask him for a fight. Never again shall I cower from battle.)

As to be expected when you have catacombs filled with the undead.
Silver heads for the unburnt library first to his right, figuring it's more important to get done first since it has more books he can recover.

Iron nods.
"Well, aside from that plan, they were also taking guns from overseas to arm themselves and all. From the objective of eliminating business oportunities to hinder economical activity, maybe we could say that the government caught on to this and planned an attack. This is why I assume that they attacked and not any sort of crime bosses, although maybe one underboss from the gang may have traded money for guns. I suggest to keep an eye out for any sort of marine-based underbosses, see if they spout their dumb rhetoric."

"A Stalliongradder pony came in earlier, carrying dog tags, and made some remarks about hating communists"
>>93757
She ponders this for a moment
"Well... that's definitely the sort of thing that would provoke a government response. I just hope it's not aimed at us"

"I do not think it was aimed at the gang. Maybe it was assumed that it would cause collateral damage towards the gang. Do you know what is the current relationship between the Waterfront Gang and the government?"

We will put you to rest soon enough, my friend. You can count on it.
And thus, Silver begins grabbing everything he can from the library, first stuffing books in his bags, then anywhere on his body they will fit, then finally carrying as many as he can with his magic. He feels very encumbered by the weight of all of these old and dusty tomes, and he'd sneeze if it wasn't for the mask he's wearing. He takes a look as he works to see how many more times he will have to do this if he wants to clear out this library.

Iron nods.
"I see. Well, they probably were not aiming directly to cause some damage. It was more of a bonus since someone in the gang took part on it. We shall see if they try to rise up more support against us later on."
Iron nods.

Suffice it to say, he’s not carrying many books this rounds. In fact, he may even have broken his carrying case

Celestia damn it all! Well, he might as well bring back what he can. If this keeps up, he's going to have to use the last of his Bits to get more potions and a new saddlebag.

Are the books on a free-standing bookcase he could push to the cellar entrance?

Iron winces at hearing the loss of her home.
"I understand your fears, but I would believe the crackdown on crime will be on hold for a long while, especially since they know those cowards were trying to cause trouble. That should leave you with a long time to plan for a new home to go for."

"It should leave you with some sort of relief, knowing that you and your family's future are safe again the moment it all blows up."
He looks to the side, a bit uneasy.
"Unless you were planning on staying here."

“What do you mean?” She looks up at him. Yes, she is worried
>>93786
Woah.
Well, rolling it down the stairs would be a little awkward, the hall way there is narrow, and bringing in through the doorways into the catacombs would require a mover’s skill, but it looks possible
>>93785
He can see her in there, with numerous papers scattered about her. Some look like paperwork, and some belong to faxed, yellowed, and ripped notebooks

One of the rare times Silver rolls a 19.
Fuck it.
Silver does not want to do this too many more times, with only a limited time frame and a damaged saddlebag. Summoning form the master finagler inside of him, he attempts to bring the cart back with him inside the catacombs.

"While I am also hoping that nothing will happen, we should always prepare for the worst. I am not being too pessimistic, am I?"

It makes a concerning sound as it goes down the stairs, it touches the walls more than a couple times as it scrapes the wall, and needs to be wiggled through the door from the side hallway into the main catacomb hallway. At least it can manuever - sort of - inside the catacomb main hallway
Also, roll die

Iron pokes his chin.
"You will probably have to move to another city when the crackdown happens, right? I was thinking of looking for another place to stay before that time comes."
He scratches the back of his head, visibly nervous.
"Failing that, I do have a last resort that could solve your problems with the law, but it is going to be a tough change of lifestyle to adapt to."

“That depends on how they handle it. The local police and politicians have historically been fairly willing to take bribes, at least where the crimes involved didn’t really seem too bad. With the Black Briar Massacre, they are under more pressure. The Black Hooves tend to rotate out foreign soldiers, and send them in larger groups where an individual could not be bribed. That makes it more difficult. And of course if they take a page from the Manehattan crackdown, police and politicians who accept bribes will be treated worse than the syndicates”

Iron is not liking the odds if his grimace is any indication.
"I find it hard to give out solutions without compromising the gang in some way if the previous answers are not possible."
He rests his head onto the sofa, somewhat frustrated at his lack of options to help Cauldron.
"Sorry if my mind cannot come up with solutions right now. You can always count on me if you need some protection or distraction from the cops, though."
He weakly smiles at her, albeit a little forced due to how little he helped in quelling her fears.
