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.

>>97635"Ich werde versuchen, einige von ihnen nach hinten abzulenken, und wir können uns auf diejenigen einlassen, die hier sind. Sie könnten sich dabei verletzen. Bist du damit einverstanden?" Brie asks to the Lings.

>>97641She walks down the hallway a little further, until she gets to some doors, which she carefully unlocks. She opens the doors

*strums louder*
>>97654She looks at him, and tilts her head
"I'm not a member myself. I am an officer of the Baltimare PD, and i work here as a guard sometimes for the overtime pay. It's safe enough work for the money. If you really, really want to contact somepony, maybe I can find somepony inside?"

Leapworms are annelids that are as wide around as the average pony's head, as long as the average pony's hindleg, and with a large maw filled with razor-sharp teeth. They prefer to reside in cool, damp, underground caves and dungeons. They hunt in packs, and prefer as their meals the various corpses of animals or people that haphazardly wander into their hunting grounds. They can breathe freely underwater, and can hide themselves almost anywhere cracks can be found in walls. They prefer to hunt by jumping on and ambushing their prey in difficult-to-escape hallways and small rooms, or by hiding inside large corpses or corpse piles. Listening closely in their hunting grounds, one can hear the faint sound of hissing coming from their hiding places.
Weakness (Ex): Leapworms produce a jelly-like substance inside their body that is delivered to their victims through bites. Those hit by a Leapworm's Bite attack must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude check or suffer a -4 penalty to their AC for 1d6+2 rounds.
Leap (Ex): When 20 ft. or less away from their target, a Leapworm will leap to place themselves in a square adjacent to their target. Doing this is considered a move action.
Viscous Discharge (Ex): Upon death, a Leapworm will let out a high-pitched squeal and discharge a heavy amount of jelly in all adjacent squares. Any opponents in these squares must succeed in a DC 12 Reflex check or take 1d2 damage. A failed check requires an additional DC 12 Fortitude check to avoid Weakness. Other Leapworms are immune to this damage.
Skills: A Leapworm has a +4 racial bonus to Climb and Spot checks, and a +8 racial bonus to Hide checks.
[1d20 = 17]>>97655"The only person I want to help, aside from those who wish to establish a world for the future of our children, is you. is that idea so repulsive?"
[1d20 = 18]>>97658"See now darlin was that so hard?"
*presses a small stone in your hoof*
"This is a sending stone, we can send messages once a day to one another, so give me a thought sometime. Now where are we going now?"
>>97659She looks down at the stone, and gives of a brief laugh
"I have to work"
[1d20 = 1]>>97660"ok but where am I going you lead me to a door, which leads...?"
[1d20 = 2]>>97662you lead my character to this door which we have yet to go through
>>97642 >>97663"What do you think is in there?"
[1d20 = 16]>>97664"A bed to sleep? A bar? Thirty men who will try to kill me but they forget im a bard?"
>>97665She smiles at that
"The room will keep its secrets. If you want to come into contact with somepony from the Blackhooves... maybe. But I work now"
[1d20 = 13]>>97666*walks into the room desperate to know what's inside*
>>97667He's outside of the building now
[1d20 = 6]>>97670"My friend is still inside and also why"
>>97671"Let me get somepony else... You stay here"
[1d20 = 13]>>97672"I'm feeling attacked..."
*he said irritably*
*he adjusts his lute*
>>97677Did... he just light himself on fire?
>>97679He casts flare, but it dazzles both of them - not just her
"What the fuck?!"
[1d20 = 15]>>97680*falls over backwards*
"Ow my eyes! Sweet celestia the pain!"
[1d20 = 13]>>97682"I was just trying to get past you cause my friend is still inside why god I'm blind!
>>97683"Damn it, I'll get him you bastard, just stay here"
>>97686Weren't we having a trip to an archeological site to return the idol for profit, even though it's currently desolated?
>>97687I'm trying to end the nightmarish limbo at the hotel and it's fucking impossible. It's going to take a while longer to think of an entirely new, interesting story elsewhere
>>97688I understand. I think everyone else is dead, so I suggest you go to bed early today.
[1d20 = 5]>>97693>>97694Skies dimsmounts Silver and leaves him be. Voices can be heard. Silver has to... cool down. After a couple minutes, he feels a pat on his shoulder
“Time to go” he hears wispered
>>97695He nods and gets up off the couch. He's a little disappointed at being unable to finish, if he's being honest with himself. Not that he's ungrateful for having the chance in the first place, but starting and then being forced to stop like that is a little like feeling like you need to sneeze before your body just decides 'nope'.
He looks over to the pony who patted him (presumably Skies), and whispers back. "You lead, I follow."
[1d20+7 = 19]>>97696>>97697You’ll get her next time
It’s definitely Skies
“Stay low to the ground. Rush to behind that couch over there, then when I open the door, rush out that door.”
>>97698That he will. That he will. For the now, he complies with Skies' orders. He continues his whispering, with a hint of anxiety from his next question: "Will I meet you back at your room, or...will I have to leave?"
>>97699Not yet
Cauldron, who has been almost disinterestedly following Iron, stops and raises her ears
“There’s something in the brush”
>>97700“Let’s leave this room. Then we’ll figure that out.” She whispers. She looks over the couch, then scurries to the couch she pointed at, and beckons Silver to follow. Assuming her does that, she moves over to a door, opens it, and motions for Silver to follow through. She keeps her head down low as she does all of this, like a cat or a dog
>>97701>Not yetWell damn.Iron's ears perk up as he hears Cauldron call out. He walks over to her.
"What kind of something?"
>>97701Silver keeps close behind with his head down, or, at least, as close behind as he can without stabbing Skies' in the rear with his horn. For his age and his size, he's surprisingly lithe and agile, which aids in him copying Skies' movements and following her signals.
>>97702"An animal" she says
>>97703I'm pretty sure his dex is higher than SkiesShe signals him to come out the door. Once this happens, she carefully closes it behind them. They are in another hallway, this one having tile rather than carpet, and appearing like the one he saw earlier in the day.
"Okay, we're away for the moment, let's go this way"
>>97704Iron is quite dumbfounded at why Cauldron would want to stop for a simple animal. Nevertheless, it could be part of his potion projects.
"Where?"
>>97705"...There"
It's a snake. A large damned snake, a dull green and brown color, partly hanging on a tree, and partly on the ground
>>97707Iron looks at it, measuring its intent and distance from Iron and Cauldron's position.
He already had quite a fight and he isn't sure that he can even withstand a bite if it dared attack.
aka not sure if I regained health or notRolling sense motive to get an idea of the snake's intentions.
[1d20+8 = 26]>>97711Iron's hair stand on end at this vile creature's intent of deflowering her not so literal.
He steps inbetween the snake and Cauldron and screams at the snake to back away.
>>97712*her not confirmed love interest
>>97712"Hiss!" it moves back a little, then slithers to the side
>>97704I get the feeling Silver's got the highest of the entire party, then.Also, gonna be a moment longer.He nods and follows her, glad to be out of the thick of it.
[1d20+8 = 11]>>97714He screams again at the vile, lewd creature to stay away from his mare to cement dominance like his dad used to say.
>>97715>Silver is leavinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHcunREYzNYSkies continues cantering down the hall, evidently not believing their current position to be fine. She hangs her head and
almost cries/
"I just wanted to be cuddled..."
>>97716He lunges forward, and bites
[1d3+4 = 5][1d20+5 = 20]>>97716>>97718Roll oppose grapple. The damage is the +4
[1d20+10 = 25]>>977202HP squad hooray. At least it's not venomous.Iron wrestles for dominance with the snake.
>>97721>>97720The Snake fails to constrict Iron in its first lunge
[1d20+10 = 14]>>97722Who says Iron's not going to grapple the snake?
>>97723>>97724If that's the path Iron wants to go down, he's going to need a few more dice rolls
>>97726Touch attack, enemy attack of opportunity, opposed grapple roll
>>97727Wait, aren't failed grapple attack through winning the strength battle counts as a direct opportunity to grapple back the opponent who just grappled?
>>97717They don't make music like they used to.It damn near breaks Silver's heart to see Skies like this. He picks up the pace until he's trotting alongside her, letting her lean on him both literally and metaphorically.
>>97729They pass a few of what look like offices. One of them has a light on in it. After some feet, they get to an office that Skies starts to unlock
>>97728No. Why would they? He doesn't necessarily have a grab on the opponent
[1d20+6 = 16]>>97730Ohok. Normal punching it is.
Iron decks the snake for daring to bite his body with a powerful hook to throw him away nonlethally.
>>97730"Hmm? What are you going to do now?"
>>97731Hit
>>97732"I don't know... You could hide out in this office... What do you want?" she asks
>>97733"There are lot of things I would want, but right now I want only two: good company, and to see you happy."
[1d20+6 = 15]>>97735Iron snarls at the snake's perseverance in raping her mare.
He swings at it again to fully send him to the heavens.
[1d20+5 = 8]>>97736She hangs her head
"I'm not sure you'll see either"
>>97737>Implying his turnLol
Cauldron hits it with a shovel
