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 because of their encounters 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.

>>95923Truly a mystery that no one could ever answer.
Press F to pay respects to the Train Gang. They will be missed.
>>95926I just kinda figured they're all ded.
>>95928I dunno. Forget I said anything, I guess. Just a little bummed that tonight's been quiet as a dormouse.
>>95930Yeah really. Where the fuck is everyone?
>>95934Nothin' much, just recovering from a nasty cold and looking forward to being able to have some drunken adventures with Silver, Star, and Skies. Or,
was looking forward, I suppose is the correct term right now.
Okay, so I have stuff to happen to Brie, Onyx, and Spark. Iron, Silver, and Dark Star need to declare actions to advance
>>95936Yey.Silver rubs the bridge of his snout, realizing the mistake he's made with how he's been drinking. He lets out a small groan of discomfort as he focuses through the alcohol. "It has been while since I have had drink like this. I need to pace myself better." He looks over at Blue after a few seconds and tries to ignore how he's seeing a very faint double image of her. Yeah, it's probably best to slow down with the drinking for a bit. "Blue, I know you have told me about lands to west of Riverlands, and I know there is nothing to east of that area besides World Ocean. What are places north and south of Riverlands like? What kind of countries make up these regions?"
>>95938“To the North are the Hill ponies. Mostly backwards and soarsely populated pony tribes. Watertowns, Firtree, and Farbrook. I went to Farbrook once. There were sometimes Changelings walking down the street without a mask. Or used to, anyways. And ponies were okay with it. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen. To the North and West is the island of Greneclyf, inhabited by Changelings. To the South are the deer colony of Nyutt Radjur and the Zebra colony on the Corsair Coast. The Navy used to have to battle Zebra pirates regularly. Just north of the Zebras are the former ‘mageocracy’ of Barrad. A few Unicorns and one deer broke away from Wittenland many years ago. What was found by the troops who liberated it would give even old Curwhinny a run for his money.”
>>95939"I remember you told me about Farbrook, before. It sounds like nice place. I wonder how Greneclyf has been doing, if they are still friendly with them."
Upon hearing about Barrad, Silver raises an eyebrow. "Some unicorns and one deer...What was found, then?"
>>95940>>95939"whats grenclyf?"
Dark Star Says while raising an eyebrow
>>95935Shit. I have no clue what to do. Timr to improvise!Iron extends one of his forelegs to its furthest reach towards Caulddon, still laying on the impromptu couchbed.
>>95941“That’s the name of the Island if the Eastern Changeling hives.”
>>95940“Relations kind of collapsed recently. As for Barrad... well, whatever was found in the mountainholds of the Wizards remains classified, but I can tell you what the soldiers saw when they approached the borders. Jagged, barren mountaintops cracked by ice and worn down by sand storms. Great storms at random, first of blistering heat and sweeping sand and dust, then sudden cold strong winds carrying snow and ice. Then, in mass formations, thousands of the land’s inhabitants. Mares, stallions, foals. Taken almost at random, they had a part of their brain cut and placed under magical spells to serve as slaves in the armies.”
>>95942She moves away, back a few feet
“What is it?”
>>95945Iron furrows his brow as he tries to move his foreleg closer.
Cauldron can see that he may fall off the bed if she keeps moving away.
(I shall get my revenge!)
>>95944"There are changelings in the east? i never knew that.i'm assuming they are just like the ones here?"
>>95946>>95946She most definitely moves further away
“Don’t even think about it”
>>95942>>95943Y'all weren't doing that already?>>95944Just about any doubt of what they could have done being worse than necromancy is cast aside. His eyes go as wide as dinner plates and his jaw hangs limp from his head, only briefly returning to its normal position to take an idle drink of whiskey. To say the least, he's speechless.
Блядь. What is it with Griffonian ponies and magic? >>95947“What do you mean ‘just like the ones here’?”
>>95950"Do they want to Enslave ponies?"
>>95950“If you mean, ‘do they keep pony slaves’ then yes, somethings. They keep ponies taken from child swaps and purchased from Zebra Corsairs. If you are asking if they raid or have imperial ambitions, no, they don’t.”
>>95949“Fucking Unicorns are almost as bad as Griffins sometimes.”
>>95948Iron's fuzzy mind state means that he can't be reasoned with.
He finally flops onto the floor, standing up and messing the covers yet again.
"Oh I will think about
and do it!"
But Iron's speed is quite slow compared to the last boop battle, almost as if he was extending his foreleg deliberately slowly to intimidate his victim.
>>95952Dark Star brings his hoof to his chin
"They seem Superior to the hive over here the."
>>95952He can only nod. He's seen and heard of some pretty messed up stuff, but something like this on the scale of an entire country? Shit. He takes another idle drink, reminding himself that he told himself previously to pace himself. He's got a decent alcohol blush going on already.
He changes the subject. "I wonder how Changelings got to Greneclyf in first place. Did they cross World Ocean from Western Equus to Eastern Griffonia, or did they migrate with ponies who would settle in Riverlands?"
>>95954She has that smile come across her face.
“Yes. They are.”
>>95953A stern and serious look comes across her face as she assumes combat stance. She will not be so easily intimidated.
>>95956“A great quake shook the ground, sone Changelings were selerated. They found refuge in a land of frozen fire, before making their way to Greneclyf”
>>95957"Have you ever interacted with one?"
[1d20+11 = 20]>>95957Iron dashes at Cauldron and attempts to poke her snout, completing his revenge plan for her atrocious and uncalled for
attack on hiss own snout.
[1d20+2 = 13]>>95958“Perhaps...”
>>95959Nah ah. Roll initiative at this distance
>>95957Silver looks at her weird. "...Is that their origin story, they tell to their drones?"
>>95965"...Well, I suppose it is not weirdest I have heard. Still, frozen fire? That is pretty weird."
>>95958Silver looks away from Skies to stare at Star for seemingly no reason.
>>95962"Perhaps? now i'm interested. what do you mean?"
Dark Star's eyebrow raises even higher
>>95966Dark Star looks over at silver
[1d20+11 = 23]>>95965Iron's snout scrunches at the quick movements of the zebra.
Iron stumbles a bit, then focuses again on the assailant.
"I underestimated your speed, but I have the more accurate boop!"
He counters her boop with his own. This time, he'll fight to the end!
