Occupied Equestria - Day 6?

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.

For those on the train. The train goes along at high speeds through the darkness past farmland, trees, and other trains... until it starts to slow down, and comes to a halt.

I mean 30 feet, the maximum of ranged weapons for sneak attack bonus. Maybe 25 feet. He is melee range from the two partisans.

Grapple nearest partisan, using bluff to attempt to deny dex bonus. +7 is the bluff, +3 is the grapple

No, tumbling gives him a +3 to AC against whatever they might do. If moving as he is separates him from one of his threatening opponents, they get an attack of opportunity, but that's all on you.

Well, as Silver lays in his makeshift bed, he ends the day on a bit of a lower note. He has discovered that his only living son is infected with the gays, maybe. The stallion he loved has firmly rejected his advances. And the mare he fancied, it turns out, is actually a bit of a cunt.

As for Dark Star - whatever he was feeling before, whatever his train of thoughts - they are probably better now, with Skies cuddled between his legs

Technically speaking, he would have to turn away from the guns in order to engage the opponents immediately to his side. This and the fact that he would be between the partisans and shooters means he is flanked, which denies his dexterity bonus. Since he's trying to get behind the pink pony, he wouldn't have taken a hit to his back, but that's a moot point.
Tl;dr No. Unless all 3 shots missed, or someone else is shooting, the overwhelming probability is that Brie just died.

A thought, but not one immediately validated by Brie's experience.

The Pink pony levels her carbine at the mysterious pony or bug that takes the form of one of her comrades, but does not shoot, at least, not yet. When the shots are heard, the green pegasus stallion behind her dives down into a prone position. She remains up for a second longer, then falls to the ground herself, still looking at Brie, but not able to effectively keep a ready stance. She looks more than a little confused and afraid. This is nothing compared to the white earth pony stallion (civilian) in the seat to the left of Brie, who was already afraid, and now falls on his belly and covers his eyes with his hooves. No shattering of glass nor thud accompanies the sound of the gunshots, which sound like they are coming from outside. The Lime green unicorn remains standing, and looks out the window to her left

"Sentries are under attack!"

One hit, one miss. This should count as sneak attack damage as she was looking out the window to her side when Brie threw the knives. He may fall with a move action, as the pink pony tries to pick up her carbine and position it.

Disguise items are listed as giving a +10 to disguise attempts, he has 0 ranks in disguise, and his charisma modifier is -1. Rolling to start grapple (basic attack roll that disregards opponents armor bonus). Since pink is prone she gets a -4 to AC, but so is Brie (who gets -4 to attack). So, rolling to grab pink against whatever her modified AC is.

Okay, there is no way she is beating that. Brie has her grappled, and she has no light weapon with which to attack him. The stallion across from her and Brie is able to get his gun, but cannot do much but remained ready in absolute confusion at... basically everything. The other two guards are not visible to Brie from this angle.

I was thinking option D and that the division his Recon Company was attached to was redeployed to the Eastern Front, but option B and C are also likely. I'm not sure on option A. If this is the AI Changeling Lands, then it's only after a complete breakdown of the Equestrian lines from a lack of ponypower that troops seem to get encircled.

The Changelings always make a little advance (unless they make no advance) then stall, then either the war drags on indefinitely in stalemate, or start to lose. It's when a naval invasion takes place that they start to advance... Which I guess implies that the key is troops being redeployed elsewhere
