Occupied Equestria: New Dawn
Anonymous

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.

The long train ride from Baltimare to Bales has been interrupted by a group of partisan fighters, claiming to be looking for none other than Pinkie Pie, who has been kept prisoner since the end of the war. They don't seem to have found their prize, but they do seem to have found a very pissed off Brie, Onyx, and Spark, as well as another Bat Pony, and both groups have been interrupted by a new set of intruders. In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, and Iron await a new and uncertain dawn.

The jade postal worker moves aside, because it looks like Brie is not, in fact, the least patient bat in the room. Ozren moves to the door, twists a knob on it, pulls a lever down, then pulls the door in.

Through the open door Brie can see that this gap between the RPO and the locomotive does not have a cover connecting the cars, like the other gaps between cars. It is exposed to the outside. Ozren looks over.
“Is this other door locked?”

Success. Brie rolls out through the door, under and besides Ozren, and off to the right of the Burgundy Pegasus, who is standing on the coupling. Brie falls off unto the rocks of the train tracks under the cars, and lands gracefully enough, placing him about a foot lower than the Pegasus, who is still aiming her sword at Ozren

The knife sticks into her side and draws blood. She moves a hoof to pull it out, and drops it on the ground.

Finding herself flanked by a pony with the ability to tumble out, and facing a reasonably skilled pony, plus two postal workers with shotguns, the old mare looks over to the side, and herself tries to tumble away, to the left.

Keep in mind that unless she can see through illusions (which as a player I would wager she can, since she was introduced with glowing eyes) Brie still looks like a lime green unicorn.
"She says its Red Morning!" Brie shouts, then waits. "Hmmm, it seems they're as disinterested as I am."

I recalled Brie removing the illusion altogether when he tried to reconcile with Snowflake, although I think maybe he added another illusion when he went to get the changelings? In any event, this particular Pegasus has not seen the lime green unicorn as she arrived after the the lime green unicorn was on the train. So unless Brie has partisan colors on...
So Brie is not going into the locomotive?

I see.

Red Morning’s face realizes a full, malign smile. Behind Brie, there is a very loud

BOOM

Briefly, the area lights up to nearly as bright as day - or more accurately, as light as around a campfire - and the medium height grass, as well as the gravel around the tracks are fully visible, as is Morning’s faded burgundy coat. The light dies down quickly, and from somewhere behind Brie a smoking something (it looking like a can) is tossed over Brie’s head, hitting the slopes ground around the tracks and rolling down, maybe ten feet from Brie to his left and about the same distance away from Red Morning, a bit to her left and in front of her.

Red morning breaks off her stare, ducks her head down, then pulls her forehooves up around her head. Her wings spread forward around her face as well, as she pulls down.

In retrospect, to the left wouldn’t have worked, because that’s where the flash bang landed

Brie dives out of the way, and avoids being blinded or deafened. He can see over here two more bandits, both pegasi, holding guns, and with attention most on the RPO, which has a noticeable hole blown into the right side of it. One of them tries to jump on and into the car.

“Very well.”

The three begin their trek down the hillside, through brush that is a bit thicker than before, as the trees are not as tall nor the canopies as thick as elsewhere. Some of the plants are bid deader than before, or at least, a bit yellowed. Otherwise, the journey is fairly uneventful.

He cannot stay in the jungle for too long or else somepony back at his tribe would think he's trying to avoid his maturity call, but he'll take this chance to feel comfortable while it lasts.

After some time, they come upon the aforementioned lake. It has a sort of “diamond” shape, as in a square where two opposing points have been stretched out. It occupies an area at the bottom of the valley, with the center looking bluer, but large areas closer to the shore appearing much more shallow and muddy. In one such area is a metal... something, shinning in the light, and appearing to be a large cylinder with a raised metal section protruding from the center, and a taller, narrower profusion at the end

Some areas look a bit broken, who knows if there is a risk of getting cut if it is touched. There's definitely something inside, looks to be debris though. It appears that there is space for at least two ponies in there

I’ll say at least this
After some time, they come upon what must be the camp. It’s a clearing with several tents in the foreground, as well as a fire. From Iron’s side there are trees that are taller, as well as some brush, to allow for cover. There is a set of raised rocks behind that part of the camp with a larger rectangular tent above it, and to the right is a pathway. There is a sense that this is not the totality of the camp, and that more exists to the right and behind what is immediately visible.

Under the hot jungle sun the two mares have ambivalent responses to the heat. Pear is an academician who has spent most of her life indoors. She is rather small and dainty, and though she is an earth pony, her body has more in common with the unicorns that doubtlessly dominate that profession. But this is not her first run through the jungle, nor even her first week here, and she has accustomed herself to the inconvenience. Cauldron is larger, stronger, and generally more resilient. Whether zebras, as a race, are studier than the average pony, who can say. But Cauldron is clearly studier than the average female. And yet, she has spent most of her life in the city. When she works outside, it tends to be at night. And so she is not well acclimated to the heat in her first day in the jungle.

The same ambivalence applies to the mission in the camp. Cauldron is fairly well accustomed to stealth and even melee combat, and seems to have some idea about how to execute the attack on the camp. What she lacks is a conviction of the necessity of the operation. Pear, by contrast, truly wants to go into that camp. But a firefight is no place from her, if the last battle didn’t make that obvious. Cauldron tried to shepherd her, thinking Pear is out of her element, while Pear tries to press Cauldron forward.

Lake City, not Deponya, is Serbian. Deponya has a kind of “Robbin Hood and Sherewood forest” vibe to it. The Communist side of Prywhen has a sort of Vietnamese feel to it, while Brodfield is Romanian with the king modeled on that one Russian Tsar. Lushi doesn’t look like it is modeled on anything, but sone place names are Swedish or Hungarian. I’d go for Hungarian.

Wat.

>>99408
First off, exclusively use 20 and 40 width divisions for combat. 40 width is objectively superior to 20 width, and should be your end goal in any nation you play that has enough pony power to make enough divisions to cover your borders.

New Mareland, County of Griefwald, Socialist Republic of longsword, Nimbusia, the breakaways in the Equestrian Civil War, Wittenland, Penguinland, and maybe Firtree, Greneclyff, and Farbrook should remain 20 width, although frankly even with Greneclyff and Farbrook I tend to go 40 width. It’s acceptable to use 20 width in early wars even for larger nations like Olenia versus the Changelings or the Equestrian Civil War, but both nations should switch to 40 width thereafter. All major nations, plus Olenia, Stalliongrad, Skyfall, Dread League, and also the Riverlands nations that gain cores over the other nations (think of fascist Lake City and Communist River Republic) should eventually become 40 width. But basically, ask yourself “do I have enough ponypower and production to produce enough 40 width divisions to cover my current and anticipated borders?” If yes, then go 40 width, of no, then go 20 width.

Division templates are extremely important. A basic but extremely powerful template to use is the 20 width 7 infantry 2 artillery template. This template will beat most, though not all, enemy divisions in one on one combat if you have modern equipment. A better infantry division is the 40 width 11 infantry 6 artillery template. This infantry division has so much artillery in it that its model displays itself as an artillery division rather than an infantry division. It is probably my most produced division template, and I use it for defense, to fill the gaps in the line, and to kill enemy pockets. It is not the core of my attack.

The best division of the entire game is the 40 width medium tank division: 9 medium tanks, 8 motorized, and 2 Motorized Rocket Artillery or Medium self propelled gun. This division will melt away virtually any opposition, only really failing when its organization is very low or when it is outnumbered by more than 3 to 1. It’s as good of a defensive unit as it is an attack unit, allowing it to hold the line after making breakthroughs, and defend itself against enemy attacks without the need of infantry. It’s very fast, allowing it to encircle enemy forces easily.

Between these two templates I usually create a third division that’s kind of between them. Medium tanks are amazing, but they are insanely expensive. As such, I usually make a cheap but fast alternative. One such unit is the 40 width Motorized a Rocket Artillery Division: 11 motorized, 6 motorized rocket artillery. This unit has the coolest looking and sounding model of the entire game, with an amazing sound in the attack action. It’s not as efficient in breaking through enemy formations as the tank division, but it is fast, quickly encircling enemies, and efficient at taking victory points. It does require many factories to produce, and it’s easy to set aside a few early. Unfortunately, the nations that benefit the most from this kind of unit - like Lake City, Olenia, Changeling lands, or Greneclyff - don’t have domestic supplies of rubber, which seriously cuts back the cheapness of this unit. Another option is the 40 width Light Tank division: 9 light tank, 8 motorized, 2 motorized rocket artillery or light self propelled gun. This unit is efficient at breaking through, and is very fast. Unfortunately it’s almost as expensive as a medium tank division, as is only cheaper by virtue of allowing factories for it to begin production earlier.

Those three templates will do pretty much everything you need, but special forces can be a thing. The best special forces unit in the entire game is the pony Pegasus division. It is fast and can be paradropped. These units are best as pure 10 Pegasi 20 width divisions, with 20 pegasi 40 width divisions being even better. These things are as fast and as powerful as rank divisions when armed with magical weapons. The next unit to be considered is the Changeling Jager, which is not as good as Pegasi. I tend to either neglect these because I am running out of Army experience make templates by this point, or make them into 14 Jager 4 motorized rocket artillery or medium self propelled gun templates. Deer nations get bonuses to mountaineers, so I make mountaineers if playing Olenia. I use the same 14 Mountainer 4 motorized rocket artillery or medium self propelled gun template as with Jagers, basically. I don’t play Griffins enough to know much about knights, but you can neither drop them from planes, nor are they faster than infantry, so there isn’t much reason to not mix regular artillery.

Finally, sometimes you want garrison divisions to stop naval invasions. The 8 width infantry templates that you get at the start of the game are frankly strong enough to stop the great majority of AI naval invasions.

With the look in her eyes, Brie can guess that she will indeed remember him.

The Pegasi open their wings after going out, falling a bit, then quickly flapping and pulling up to the left before they hit the trees beyond the rail line, which is forward to the train and still causes them to fall behind the faster mining train

Bathroom moaning...Star and Skies are not in bed, I see... It's not hard for a pony to put two and two together, and for Silver it's certainly an excellent thought to wake up to. To have that kind of energy once again...

Silver will just have to make do with his old pony energy, he supposes as he begins doing bits of a morning routine: some stretches, some basic exercises, and to take stock of the state of his equipment. He especially looks at his poor saddlebags, having not the opportunity until now to inspect the damage that's been done to them.

Alright, time for some loud action.
Iron, after properly positioning himself to charge against the armed pony around back, does so with the intention of delivering a powerful hit on the target's snout.
If there's a cleave chance, please inform me before making the opponents react with their own attack actions.

His ears perk up at another moan from the bathroom. His interest is definitely piqued. Should I...? Silver slowly begins to advance towards the bathroom door.

There are still the three mail ponies in the car, with the one knocked to the ground evidently slowly coming to consciousness. None of the three are standing. There is still a big gaping hole in the side of the car, with scenery moving at increasing speed outside, although the night obscured much. The air is colder than it was in Baltimare already. There is general disorder in the car, with lose letters and envelopes blowing around in the air, fluttering up then falling back down. Part of the floor is covered in debris, and only one light at the far end of the car is working. The safe is off to the left side, not too far from the hole in the car.

I believe Brie avoids becoming directly unconscious, but he is blinded for at least 18 seconds. He's a little dizzy, and the tinnitus remains.

When he regains sensibility, the safe he recently unlocked is open with at least most of its contents missing, and the culprits already on their way out.

On the bright side, Brie regains his senses before the other pony

Man, I had the weirdest dream. It was like a real-life version of a tabletop game, set in a fantasy world with swords and magic, but also with sci-fi elements in its story. Me and the other players were just wandering mercenaries and adventurers, but we all shared a secret past none of us knew about: we were all the progeny of an advanced race of aliens who mated with the natives of the fantasy planet we were on, and we had only recently come out of cryo as adults with no recollection of who we were, or what the mysterious devices we were "hatched" from were for. Our ultimate goal in the game was to find out who we were, and to travel the world to find the other 14 cryo pods that were yet to be opened. It ended with me playing as a mage/wizard assaulting the Duke's palace with a character who was more than a little like Brie, because we believed there was a cryo pod hidden underneath where the palace courtyard had been constructed.

Don't know why I wanted to post that. Maybe because I thought it was interesting and I wanted to share it before I forgot all the details.

I have decided to compose a list of all logically possible reasons why the Changeling Hegemony has not yet invaded East Equestria. This is intended to be a logically exhaustive list, not spoilers for any one possibility.

1. Silver is right, Skies is wrong. An invasion is imminent. Skies is either delusional or lying.
A. "At 7:48 AM Central Equestrian Time - 12:48 Sunset Mean Time - The cities of Canterlot and Bales were suddenly and deliberately attacked by the air and ground forces of the Changeling Empire."
B. They are Changelings. They don't need to let you know they are invading in order to invade. They would rather slowly infiltrate and conquer peacefully by replacing government officials.

2. The Changelings are afraid to attack at this moment.
A. The ocean between between New Mareland and East Equestria only promises an eternal war, especially if the army of New Mareland is not deployed in East Equestria and defeated, and if Nova Griffonia, Stalliongrad, or the Equestrian Islands can be used as bases of deployment on Equus
B. New Mareland has a superweapon it can use against the Changelings, secret to the rest of the world, but not to the Changelings (who have oodles of spies). Silver can be proud of White Light after all. Did you think that splitting the Elements of Harmony would be the end of super weapons?
C. Some other secret threat, magical or mundane, acts as a deterrence. Maybe they have assassins on Chrysalis to be deployed in the event of an invasion (and she knows it) or blackmail that will cause her followers to revolt.

3. They can't invade now.
A. the Changelings were on the verge of defeat in the last war, with casualties so extreme as to greatly reduce their effectiveness now. They need to wait to rebuild their strength.
B. The ponies of the West and the North are disturbing the plans of the Changelings by mounting an effective resistance. Even now, Spectral Streak makes Silver proud.
C. The Changeling coalition is breaking down. Chrysalis is kind of a bitch. Maybe even the changelings don't like her. Or maybe some of the queens have their own ideas.
D. Some magical something prevents an invasion. Time travel and magical barriers along the border are two possibilities.

4. They are waiting for an opportunity
A. Rather than invade East Equestria now while the army is away, and leaving an army to fight in Nova Griffonia, Stalliongraad, or on the continent of Griffonia, the Changelings would rather destroy the army at the same stroke as they take East Equestria, either forcing peace or making the invasion of Griffonia easier.
B. They are instigating revolts in East Equestria, which could either bleed New Mareland, or create a logistical disaster for any army that would be deployed to defend the region.
C. They want to instigate revolts to create breakaway states, and then invade and conquer these states. Conquest of East Equestria without ever declaring war on their old ally.
D. They are looking to coordinate an attack with the Griffonian Empire. Having an ally on Griffonia to tie up New Mareland would be very helpful.

5. They don’t want to invade, at least not yet.
A. Chrysalis has had her revenge against the Mane Six an Equestria, and the rest of the Changelings have enough Liebenraum to satisfy them for now. Whether Ash was right about Changelings being like locusts, eventually exhausting supplies and forcing them to take more populations of ponies, this could be true either way.
B. Removing the main threat to the Changeling rule isn’t conducive to Changeling unity or to Chrysalis remaining in power, and Chrysalis really likes her position as Queen over all Western Changelings.
C. They find other enemies on the continent to be more promising targets for now. After all, if East Equestria falls without the destruction of the New Mareland Army, but before Stalliongrad or Nova Griffonia, then New Mareland will simply redeploy their troops to those locations, meaning they have many more troops defending a much smaller border. But taking Stalliongrad and Nova Griffonia first actually expands the border New Mareland has to defend, while removing potential allies and alternative points of deployment.

6. They don’t need to Invade
A. The poorly garrisoned East Equestria allows for easy infiltration by love harvesters. So what if New Mareland collects the tax revenues, the area is easily harvested for love and the government is easily bullied. It’s basically a non-official vassal state, with someone else doing the hard work.
B. Through a secret agreement between the governments, the area is de jure vassal, or otherwise gives the Changelings all they could want.

7. Wait, you seriously believe East Equestria is run by ponies?
A. Changelings are shapeshifters whose entire biology is geared to deceiving ponies. How do you know the entire Blackhooves government on the continent isn’t Changelings? If any other factions also have Changeling influence, they are only what you call “controlled opposition.”

8. You think Chrysalis (or any changeling) controls the Hegemony?
A. Within the My Little Pony setting, there are no less than three powerful magical races that spread and feed off of Chaos, a magic absorbing centaur, vengeful night and day goddesses, powerful dark Unicorn, goat, and cat sorcerers, and an adorable pegasus filly. Any of these could be either a puppet master over Chrysalis, or an ally steering her towards their own interests.

Now how could I forget to include the simplest explanation of them all?

9. Silver is right, Chrysalis is wrong. East Equestria is actually entirely ripe to be invaded now, but Changeling leadership is failing to capitalize on the opportunity in either an error in judgement, because of personal reasons that don't correspond to the broader picture, or a miscalculation of facts that seems reasonable to them, but is out of line with a fuller assessment of all of the facts.

This solution seems the least satisfying, but it's hardly without precedent in the real world.

In the Athenian expedition to Sicily in the Pelopennesian war, the general Nicias decided to withhold the Army from attacking the Sicilians shortly after the Spartans arrived because of a lunar eclipse, which he took as a bad omen. Thus what might of been a victory became the disaster for the Athenians in Sicily.

At multiple points shortly after the Turk conquest of Central Anatolia and the establishment of the "Sultanate of Rum," the Byzantines could have invaded and pushed back the Turks. They failed to do so, largely because of infighting, and thus these regions where forever lost to Christendom.

Frederick Wilhelm II of Prussia withdrew from the First Coalition in 1795 to make peace with Napoleon in the treaty of Basel, leading to Austria being defeated in that war, then Prussia being invaded and catastrophically defeated in 1807 by Napoleon.

Windrow Wilson refused to enter the United States in WW1, and also refused to ban American shipping from entering more dangerous areas of the Atlantic. Thus the war dragged on and more Americans were killed by German Submarines.

After the Nazi invasion of Poland and the French declaration of war, the German-French border was very poorly defended because something like 4/5 of German troops were sent to Poland. France could have invaded Germany and ended the second world war before it began. They did not, and the rest is history.

The entirety of the German high command, besides Eric von Mannstein and Adolf Hitler, thought that an invasion of France would be catastrophic and end as well as in WW1. They were wrong.

After the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, everyone knew that war between Germany and the Soviet Union was inevitable. Yet Stalin ignored intelligence reports from the British that the Germans were preparing an invasion under the belief that they were trying to goad him into attacking. He even withdrew a portion of the army from the border to try to look "less threatening."

During the U.S. intervention in Vietnam, North Vietnam was not invaded nor even properly bombed until the end of the war. Supply lines in communist Laos were also not invaded by ground troops. Instead, the Communists operated from secure bases and supply lines as the US played whack-a-mole in the jungle. This failure to take the war seriously possibly contributed to the disaster of the war as a whole.

I've heard that during the Iraqi invasion of Iran, Saddam Hussein issued an order to stop, thus giving time for the Iranians to mobilize and prepare defenses. But I can't confirm this.

If all of the above sounds like a testament to human stupidity (and thus to Changeling stupidity, should some or most of them make the same mistake), please remember that the list of invasions and declarations of war that failed catastrophically is far, far longer, and far more well known than the list of failures that stemmed from a failure to attack, invade, or declare war. Even half of the examples given above stem from invasions and declarations of war that didn't need to happen. When you declare war, or invade a country with most of your army, you roll the dice. And what you are gambling can be the fate of the kingdom itself. War often topples queens. Peace rarely causes the fall of an empire.

The new update confirms what was already strongly implied by the "Griffonian Empire" game rule setting included in the Brother's Feud update: that the Griffonian Socialist Republic was built upon land recently stolen from native pony inhabitants. (Even though the Northern Tribes have "unspecified" as their race rather than 'Pony," and the GSR has no debuff national spirit to represent pissed off indigenous ponies). This leaves me urging for a purging.

Brie runs over and past a disoriented mail pony, and opens the door. As stated before, the gap between the locomotive and the RPO is not covered nor is there a floor, but neither is it non traversable. The door to the locomotive is unlocked. Going in, the Layout, strangely enough, is almost like that of a normal sleeping car, with a door in the center and a narrow corridor along the far left side of the locomotive. But unlike a normal car, there are no windows, only lighting. To the right are noisy stainless steel covered units with gauges, handles, and small openings fit things like oil. Some parts are more exposed, showing massive Diesel engines with giant cylinders driving large electric generators. Further towards the front, the corridor leads into an open cab. Or rather, an area behind the main cab that has a pair of bunks, a coffee machine on the right, and a small door on the left that is probably a lavatory. Through a threshold is the cab itself, where there are a pair of seats, a throttle, and a number of gauges and what have you on a control panel. Through the forward windows the track and the night are illuminated by the train’s headlight, and the night above is starry.

Black Ozren stands there and looks back at Brie, and another pony, an earth pony who is also blue, wears a grayish uniform. There is a copy of the Princess’s journal laying on part of the control panel off to the right. Ozren addresses Brie

Loot, ammo, weapons, whatever. Brie has no idea how long this is going to take, and since he's down to two of his daggers ;_; it may be time to improvise

Damn.

Looking into the opened safe, Brie can see, or rather, feel, that a number of notes were left in the back safe by the bandits in their haste. A book is also neglected. Perhaps more interesting are several envelopes that have fallen on the floor, but are too “fat” and heavy to simply be normal letters... they carry something valuable.

Also probably some of his daggers should still be there. At least the ones that were thrown inside of the train.

There is a shotgun with some shells in the RPO, and a carbine in the coach car as well as a pair of magazines. Private snowflake seems to have jumped the train when she could earlier.

F. He will be missed.

How long are those two going to be in there? Silver gives the clock an impatient look, as he has been doing since he had stopped eavesdropping on Star and Skies' passion a few minutes ago. He throws his hooves in the air in a "fuck it" fashion, signaling he's had enough. I have things I need to do today. I can not wait forever for them to finish. As he begins to put on his clothing and equipment, he jots down a small note on a "borrowed" napkin for Blue, stating how he's going out to do a couple of tasks before tackling that catacombs job again today.

A few more minutes later, a fully-readied Silver makes his way out of the Hotel for the first time in what feels like ages. An empty growl from his stomach signals his most pressing concern. He quickly hooks himself up to the cart he left outside last night, and makes his way towards the diner he and Skies visited yesterday for Breakfast.

Still can not believe all of that took place in one day. Here is hoping today will be little bit more calm and orderly.

There were two ponies down the ledge. They had a little more description, which makes me think they are semi-important ponies that I don't want to kill and can interrogate for info and be evil with the mare to get it.

You just don't know when two specific players will be online at the same time, which creates problems when an NPC/DMPC is involved with both of them and they have different plans for their character's days.

Just as much as you would want this to be enjoyable for us Players, we would want this to be enjoyable for you the DM. Plus with Skies, you're basically a player in your own right, albeit with godly control over the universe we all reside in. If you want, I'll gladly retcon so Silver stays a bit longer: it's only one post to delet, after all. The interaction during the mission would certainly make it more interesting for everyone involved, you included.

Seeing how the bullets he assumes Cauldron shot flicked off without much of an issue, decides to activate his survival instinct, breaking his code, and charges straight for the mare for a powerful hit for her chest.

A bullet breaks through and wounds the mare, as blood comes out of her barrel.
“All that for a little blood?” She says to Cauldron, with still 20 rounds in her magazine, which she levels at Cauldron

Pear, by contrast, comes out of the tent carrying none other than the dog statue. She then says, or rather, incants,

“E te atua nui o te whakawa tika a te Atua, kawea mai tou riri ki ou hoa whawhai”

And from the skies above, a bolt of lighting comes down and strikes the mare.

Will Brie, Onyx and Spark ever go back to
Sleep? Will Iron ever wake up? Will White Orchid and Mint Marine ever have a father figure in their lives? Will Silver ever finish his wheaties?

Hopefully that will all be resolved in this coming week

It would take a while to figure out what knives he could get back, but it should essentially be all of the ones that were not thrown outside of the train.

All guns are carbines, three magazines of... ten rounds?
Unfortunately the cash left in the safe was only 600 bits. In the first envelope is just sunglasses, the second one has a jeweled necklace and a ring in it. There is one further item of note - a shiny short sword from the safe

It’s “You know there are dozens of witness here and you’re trapped in a metal can destined for waiting police at Canterlot Central, and given how you’ve already irreparably pissed off the denizens of the forest that provides your only means if escape, your choices are be courteous to me, or death.”

Well, that sounds like a perfect place to find what he needs. Silver parks his cart outside the store and heads inside to take a look at their selection. He wants something with plenty of internal space for larger items, a couple secure internal compartments for valuables and other important items, a couple external pockets or pouches for things like potions or small throwing weapons, and it needs to be made out of a durable material. He also looks to see if they have any good belts or bandoliers, as well as belt bags, satchels, or belt boxes. There's no such thing as too much storage.

I just thought of a rather interesting idea.
A monk sergeant.
Always has a helmet the soldiery of his/her country uses.
Charges his/her enemies barehooves to inspire courage among his/her team akin to how British Officers usually stood out in the open for that reason.
Always has a shotgun to deal with close enemies that can't be reached by his hooves. Because his punches could be considered the same as a point-blank shotgun shot.
No armor to speak of for max dodge.

You want a small backstory?
Pony was super into fanatic militaristic propaganda about changelings being the ultimate threat. He decides to enlist *insert country here*'s army to do his/her part in dealing with the bug scum. His will and prowess proved to be quite efficient in the field, granting him the position of Sergeant eventually.
While he was quite skilled, nothing could ever prepare him for the ambush that had been laid.
A hail of bullets from a group of changelings hiding inbetween the trees demolished his entire group of 5 ponies during a scouting mission. In a swift frenzy, he rushes each of their positions and cracked, punctured and blasted all of them to their demise without mercy.
Months later, the army disbanded after his country surrendered which at this point sounds like it's Equestria, leaving a bitter Pony to live in what was now New Mareland's territory.
Now that I think about it, did the New Marelanders kill any Equestrians?

Silver has to experience first-hoof how personally embarrassing it is to leave a store empty-hooved after having found something you like. He trots back out to his cart, taking note of the name of the tailor so he can return after he gets payed.

With a final salute, he bids the zebra alchemist a good day, and with his list (mostly) filled out and his cart once again hooked up, Silver makes for the catacombs, hopefully to finish this job once and for all.

As Iron nears, it looks like there is a clearing before the temple - assuming this is indeed a temple, and not a rock formation, although the top looks a little too flat, and the sides and corners too square for that. The temple is to the right, and to the left is one tent. There do indeed appear to be a trio of ponies by it, two standing and looking at the third, whose head is propped up on a crate as he lay on his back.

Iron nods, confirming the entrance to the temple seems to be only guarded by the ponies at the tent.
He looks over to Cauldron.
"Do you think you can disarm these ponies as well?"

I'm right with you, there. I hate leaving things unfinished like that. If Silver had those SMGs in working order and even just one other player in case of Fort save failure, I would send him in, but half the party is halfway across the state, Iron is in the middle of his own thing, and Star doesn't seem interested at all.

As far as special weapons and explosives go...I mean, I'm not sure how any of us would even go about acquiring those, or where to start, much less paying for all of it without spending more money than the job would provide. You also seem very adamant in no player having access to SMGs in any circumstance, but that's a whole different thing.

If you want Iron to tag along, you could try gathering information of his whereabouts, which is right on Cauldron's apartment, and then knock on the door and offer money to him. That should solve your second issue. As of the first, I think spamming holy water as a throwable could make it quite easy.

Holy water seems kinda useless, reading back through its page on the wiki. Feel like what Silver got of it is just going to go to waste.

Just ask the Blackhooves to put the Submachine gun in working order telling them you need it for the mission, Ash for explosives for the same purpose, or alternatively, buy sone fertilizer and sone diesel to make home-made ANFO bombs, plant explosives around the catacombs while using the hide from undead, then get a big set of speakers and start blasting “The Trooper” by Iron Maiden like they do in World War Z (the novel), dramatically cock the submachine gun, light the fuse, and blast away at the undead hordes.

I'm a little thrown off (not entirely because) since we're jumping ahead. So we're on our way again. The Lings have seen the train so far, Brie got to kill some shit,... good times. Brie isn't exactly incentivized to leave the cabin, for the time being, especially since he absconded with firearms from the invaders (I'm sure the police would ask about those).

I figured the “totally” meant that anything that followed in the sentence was ironic.

Anyways, Brie would have seen the sun rise as the train increases in elevation up the side of a mountain, overlooking a long valley, forest and farms, and eventually slowing down as it enters a town of black roofs and stone buildings, then enters a beige station with a number of police in both black and blue along the red-lined platforms. Police would have knocked on Brie’s door and answered it themselves. Police would have had surprisingly few questions for Brie besides what his motive was for doing what he did (like if he knew the officer was an officer, why he attacked the rebels, what exactly happened in the RPO, what he was doing in the RPO, why he was on the train, and so forth). At some point, they shine a bright light in Brie’s eyes.

So yes, Dark Dtar is free to do his next thing. Iron should be finishing up his adventure though I hope I don’t fuck up this ending

Brie should be starting his day, hopefully arriving in Bales.
I don’t generally want to question any actions of characters, but I’m unsure about the wisdom of staying up the remainder of the train ride. Obviously it would prevent being completely snuck up on, but the only place that would be particularly likely is upon arrival in a station, meaning it would only be necessary to be awake in the 5 or so minutes prior to arrival in the station. I would think the train would awaken passengers through an intercom anyways, so they don’t miss their stop. Brie’s weird cat-things should be able to give him at least some notice of any intruder entering the room. Not sleeping runs the real possibility if being fatigued later, and most importantly, prevents healing of wounds

Do you want unprovoked knowledge tidbits from Pear, ask more questions, or just go in raw without commentary and only receive descriptions?
As stated before, the temple seems to be built with large stone slabs of pure black, maybe two feet thick, four feet across, and eight feet long... err, 2/3 of a meter thick, more than a meter across and two and a half meters long. The blocks seem to be overlapped by some unknown arcane means, and there is a flat roof above an entrance some 20ft/ 6 meters wide, and 10ft/3 meters high. To each side are recessed little portions of the wall, perhaps as many as three recesses on each side. Some of these are in the wall, recessed like a book shelf. Some are layered, like a flight of stairs almost. For this area, natural light comes inside from a setting sun, illuminating this portion with a reddish light. Some of the recesses have decayed plant matter, sone of them have pottery. Sone are simply empty.

The floor at the entrance looks artificial or carved, being perfectly flat. As he goes further, the ground becomes tougher and uneven. He also strays away from the increasingly dim twilight outside. It becomes black. The air becomes cooler, more moist.

Iron hums, actually rather stumpted on how to light the way.

Your Silver engages in rubbing and other contact because he’s fairly tactile, and uses touching as a way of interacting with other equines. As for if he is calling you master... just as well, considering that he can get a little “aggressive” when he’s the master.

Okay, so in the normal use of the English language the word “heel” refers either to the area below the ankle in the foot in human anatomy, or a command to a dog to to follow closely. However, looking it up, I was able to find that the term is used in professional wrestling to refer to a designated villain - a character designed to be hated by the audience. Maybe the post is saying Skies is an I likable character? But moreso, the “best” unlikable character? Searching through urban dictionary I found an entry that makes more sense: a heel as a person who “behaves poorly, especially towards a woman.” If this is the meaning used, it refers to Silver, as the post is made in response to Skies believing a statement made by Silver - intended to be a joke - as Silver mocking her values. Which of course happens pretty regularly for Silver, thus making him “best heel.”

Perfect, getting them to shine a light in his eyes would have been his agenda. He'd be happy to show them that he has a funky cloak, and would have explained that they threatened him in his own cabin and so he resorted to self defense. Afterward, he felt that the rebels (or whoever they were) needed to be stomped on, so he offered his services. He would assume that the police would talk to Oxygen (yes, I'm gonna keep mistaking his name) and that his comments about being sorry for stabbing him would pan out, both in word and in behavior after the fact.

Setting note: batponies are generally seen perceived as not being too fond of Celestia after that whole Nightmare Moon Equestrian Civil War thing/often perceived as criminals who hide in the night. New Mareland, being relatively more egalitarian and tolerant of ponies, is thought of as less repulsive to Equestrian bat ponies than to most other ponies

RPO is railway post office. It means the car with the hole in the side. Brie is in Canterlot station or outside if it.

The pony questioning is an eggshell white Pegasus pony who speaks with a fairly plain central Equestrian accent, the absence of any posh details implying he is from Cloudsdale or Ponyville, now across the Changeling border, or perhaps from the working class of Canterlot, but decidedly not of the elite. He wears a black suit with yellow trimming, and a big black hat with yellow trimming that his smoke grey mane falls out from under. A small flag or symbol of black and gold is wrapped around his upper right foreleg. He must be from Internal Security. Behind him stands a vanilla white (light yellow) Unicorn wearing the same black uniform. He is very young looking, stands straight, but leans forward, occasionally moving forward like he is anxious to do something. He dies not speak, but there is something about his posture that implies he is Canterlot Borguoise. He takes part in the eye test. Two more ponies, who wear blue uniforms that imply they are from local law enforcement, stand outside, and seem to have no part in the questioning except to provide force if something goes wrong

The Pegasus centers in on the issue of the mail car
“Who attacked the mail car?”
“How did they attack it?”
“What happened before and after the explosion?”

And
“How did you not recognize him as a captain of the IS?”(Internal Security)
“When did you realize he was a captain?”

Batponies are allowed to be 4 star generals, among other things. But they have essentially no discrimination between pony races.

As for class... well, that’s hard to determine, but at least in the scene before Brie right now it can be seen that a working or middle class pony is senior in their Internal Security organization to the offspring of a bourgeoise or noble family, and both ponies seem to have found the organization worthwhile to volunteer

Of course if you’re not a pony, that’s another matter entirely

He looks around the room a bit, then comes in closer to Brie. For a second time, he shines an obnoxious light in Brie’s eyes.
“Keep them open.”

He pulls the light away, and looks at Brie with a wince
“That will be all. Thank you for your work in fighting off the rebels.”
He turns his light off, then pats Brie’s “son” on the head, which startled him and makes him pull away. He does the same to Brie’s “friend’s son,” but he is more receptive.

The Pegasus starts to move out, while the unicorn looks back with uncertainty at Brie, then to the off-white Pegasus. They start to talk quietly to each other before they even fully leave the room, but leave regardless, with the two local officers following

There’s are still a number of officers in the station, though f
far fewer. A number of ponies have been given exams that seek to be testing for disguised Changelings, whether these ponies were all departing passengers or just ponies of interest can’t be determined. The train goes further out of the station, and seems to be traveling fast enough to be on its way, rather than simply going to an adjacent field or train yard.

I'm not sure how to interpret that. Still, Brie gives him head-pats too. "Je weiter wir von großen Ponystädten entfernt sind, desto einfacher wird es. Wir hätten nicht damit rechnen können, dass ein Haufen Idioten den Zug entführen wird, aber es ist äußerst unwahrscheinlich, dass derselbe Zug zweimal entführt wird. Und wenn ja, ... .

As the hoof stretches out towards Kerr he first pulls his head back, and his ears down briefly. But he looks at Brie with his yellow eyes, then pulls his head forward, towards Brie’s hoof

Wesley pulls himself forward with his forehooves, inching forward with each pull of his hooves, and feeling sort of like a furry ice bag between Brie and the wall on the somewhat cramped bed. He pulls himself under the blanket and pokes his head out:
“Wirst du uns beschützen?” Wesley ask Brie, looking at Brie with big blue eyes.

Outside Brie’s window pass three and four story grey and white buildings with steep roofs of slate and grey brick. Occasionally, the train crosses stone bridges over small rivers, and through green parks. A large rail sometimes a wall, separates the tracks from the stone streets where ponies can be seen walking about their normal business. Every now and then, the larger tower of a church, or the clock tower of the city Rathaus penetrates juts up from the picturesque mass of buildings. Further out from the historical center of the ancient court city, past the area of historical preservation, larger buildings grow - five, ten, fifteen or more stories tall brick and steel office buildings, lower class tenements, and manufactories with big brick smoke stacks. These grow out of the side of a hill, the whole city built on top of a mountain. As the train winds its way down this mountain, a Brie obtains a final look at the large golden towers of the Princess’s castle. This royal mountaintop palace was the administrative center of the Empire of Harmony, an empire that stretched from the river separating Acornage and the Changeling lands to the far west, all the way to the Griffonian Empire’s Wingbardy, separated from the old Dominion by a small river. It is and was visible from most of central Equestria, and can now be seen from two countries.

But the train keeps a rolling, and with a faster pace than the previous day, desperate to prevent the larger political circumstances from infringing too heavily upon its schedule, and its reputation as a fast and regular passenger carrier

Right across from the door is a little beige bob that allows control of the heat. When Brie returns, his two weird cat-things try to snuggle up with him, Wesley again taking the wall, and Kerr, the corner of the bed by the window. He can feel them against his fur. There’s something endothermic about these ersatz foals.

The train proceeds down the hill at great speed, and levels out into coniferous forest. Whether Brie knows it or not, he has passed the mountain range that divides north and south Equestria, and fall pines dominate where farmland and bare deciduous trees did before.

I don’t even know. It really varies with how long the war lasts. Half the time I’m across the seas in Griffonia and not really paying attention to the Great War, and half the time I’m a participant in it. I’m not even sure. If it drags out a while, it can be 5 million. Usually, when I am invading Equestria as the Changeling Lands or the Olenian Riki, Equestria suffers a little million casualties, like 2.4 million. I’m not even sure if that’s including the Crystal Empire or not. My side suffers around 70,000 casualties, give or take 20,000. As New Mareland the war tends to be smaller, something like 650,000 Equestrian casualties to the changelings, 700,000 to me, and like 300,000 Crystal empire casualties (from changelings) and like 800,000 or so combined Changeling casualties, and like 24,000 on my side.

It’s more than a little cold in the car. Even with the blanket, it feels cold. The leaves if the trees become more and more dull. Hell, the green floors do the same, as the world fades. It’s been a very long day, and an even longer night. Brie has lost a bit of blood. He’s more than a little tired. From somewhere in his future, Brie can feel a dark wind blowing.

Also, it was kind of a self fulfilling prophesy. I initially figured that while changelings would take pretty much any opportunity they got, they basically stripped that pony earlier, and so didn’t really need anything from Brie. Rather, they just wanted physical warmth. But with all the talk, I figured it would be anti-climatic if they didn’t

The short sword is something of a gladus-like design, bladed on both sides, implying it is designed principally to be a stabbing instrument, it is thick enough to give the instrument the integrity needed to act as a slashing weapon. It doesn’t look optimal for utilitarian purposes like husking coconuts, so whoever made it intended it to be either a weapon or a ceremonial tool. The handle has alternating beige and brown rings, and the metal on the side of the handle is a slightly different color than the color of the blade. The metal on the inside glows iridescently, while the metal on the outside is duller and darker. It does indeed seem to be magical, glowing shinny and chrome, a fact that the previous owner tried to hide with an electroplated outer coating

A sense of foreboding, a reduced ability to see color (which only really applies to the carpet because everything outside is white), a feeling of being tired (which he should have regardless for obvious reasons, and a feeling of being very cold (which could just be because it’s below freezing outside).

If changelings are cursed with being vampires with nasty bites, they are blessed with the symptoms they bestow on their hosts being ordinary enough for most ponies, awaking hung over, in a cold room, and perhaps already depressed, to not think anything unexpected.

[i]the idea was the imply that the changelings are cold-blooded, and so seek other sources of heat

Iron does so, giddy and eager to see why a group of seemingly organized bandits would attack a temple now that he knew it was more like an entrance to the underground.
(Wait. Why would a group of bandits attack something that resembles more as a cemetery than a place full of treasure?)
His giddiness is slightly tampered by a wave of slight dread at the possible prospects of raiding a god's temple, especially one who controls death or at least the entrance of the underworld.

"Well, water falling upon the hill goes through layers of sediment before reaching the bedrock, which in this particular area is made of Limestone, which erodes away from carbonic acid and creates the little underground rivers you see here. But that isn't what you wanted to know, is it? The Marexica tribe of the Neighuatl ponies believed these underground caverns to be entrances to the underworld, or their version of the afterlife. Xibalba. And these little streams were believed to carry the souls of the dead off to there. They would often make offerings to Xibalba, like a coin to ensure safe passage, or sometimes, to send off wealth in the hopes it may be used by loved ones or ancestors in the afterlife. I suspect that is what you are looking at."

“Well... I may have a job for then.” Sea Breaze presses a button on his table
“Dark Star... an organization like the Baltimare Branch of the State Security Administration requires very many ponies for its operations. And it requires cooperation with all sorts of other entities as well. Local law enforcement, the military, railway employees, customs... many ponies are involved. Many non-pony creatures as well. And many of them are of questionable trustworthiness. It’s like a house with many, many meters of old, rusty pipes. A leak is bound to spring up somewhere. And all it takes is one leak for the whole house to become flooded and moldy. All the same with the Black Hooves...”

At this point, a pony walks through the door. It’s none other than Dark Star’s senior partner in the SSA.

“Excellent timing, Miss Skies. Tell him how you find a leak”

The pony walks across the room, casually, and takes a seat next to Sea Breeze’s desk, facing towards Dark Star
“When you know there is a leak... you create a false report or other document that you know your enemies will want to disseminate. But you don’t give everyone exactly the same document. You create minor little spelling errors, typos, subtle differences between the documents, and give each person or group a different version of the document. So the one that is disseminated.. you’ll know who leaked it.”

Sea breeze continues, stopping Skies
“A few days ago, we released a document concerning the transfer of a high value individual to various sectors of the Baltimare SSA and associated agencies. But the document actually contained completely different information depending on who it was sent to. We were hoping that the release of multiple conflicting claims about where and how the very important pony would be sent would create the confusion that would allow the transfer to take place unmolested, or, even better, any communications by hostile actors could be intercepted, allowing us to tell who leaked the information. Unfortunately, that isn’t quite what happened... Each version of the document contained differing means by which the VIP would be transferred, in this case, taken at random from a train table. It appears one of the documents leaked out, and the train listed, a civilian passenger train, was attacked last night around 2:00 AM by partisans 10 kilometers east of the Castle of the Two Sisters. There was no way we could have sent police to protect every train... Anyways, we’ve identified a leak.”

Iron, oblivious of Pear's dumbfounded response, simply nods.
"Only when he almost scratched and bit me to death was I awed by the raw power of the huge kitten. It could have been quite the battle."
He is a bit uncomfortable over how the bridge reacted to his hoof, though. He adds some more pressure on it with his hoof to see if it breaks or something.

Maybe set up a tripwire and hang them above the entrance to a corridor, so they'll drop down on the ghasts as they chase after him. Then Silver, as DM suggested earlier, would just lay into them with the SMG. Bing bang boom, problem solved.

You know, if the DM would ever actually give a definite answer as to whether or not Silver can have the SMG. I'm not so sure he could just waltz into the GBH and ask the Black Hooves to clean it like the DM thinks.

Don't worry about the SMG, as the ghasts have more than 20 AC anyways. You need thorwable items that can reliably do AoE damage like grenades or molotovs to ensure a hit. SMG doesn't do that well if you can't aim it.

Explosives are a terrible idea in the catacombs even if Silver had the means to acquire them, and I doubt using only firebombs and other throwables would kill multiple 29hp (or more) ghasts. Seriously, have you seen the stats for alchemist's fire and holy water? 1d6 or 1d4 damage on a direct hit? And using them are considered a standard action? Throwing weapons like those are just absolutely useless. Just give me a sword or a gun, they're cheaper and more effective. If Silver is going to clear out the catacombs, the only thing he could possibly rely on is using enough bullets to overwhelm them.

Well, think about it. For the detonator, you’re going to need a hundred yards of thin electrical wiring, an automobile battery, pliers, and wire cutter. Maybe a light switch, or the same mining-plunger at the bottom of the catacombs. You might be able to rig a flashlight and it’s 9volt batteries as a detonator, I am not sure. Maybe something messy like a stream of low octane gasoline or black powder could work.

The explosives themselves probably require a sack of nitrate-based fertilizer (which may require an agricultural supplier), that marvel of technology known as “the jerry can,” and one or two gallons of either heating oil or kerosine-lamp oil. Containers will be harder to figure out - maybe coffee containers, milk jars, or plastic jugs.

Maybe proper dynamite or ANFO can be acquired from mining or construction concerns.

Shit, I looked it up and it turns out ANFO is actually pretty difficult to detonate - you need a relatively powerful explosive. It’s typically detonated by placing a stick of dynamite in the center and detonating that... if only silver hadn’t used those sticks...

Maybe you can take a rifle bullet, remove the projectile, and place it upside down in the container. I think even a mild electrical pulse will detonate the primer on a bullet, which of course can detonate the grains and then ANFO, maybe using extra gun power in the empty case. Using little clamps on the end of the wire to connect to the cartridge case would probably work better than tying exposed wire around a case... I am not sure if using an empty beer bottle, with a cartridge in the top, is genius, or if the glass is too weak to hold long enough to make the ANFO detonate

I would think cost would be the sum of the purchase price of the elements involved. 1 but for wire cutters, 1 bit for pliers (may want two sets?), 13 bits (at least) for 250 feet of wire, 1 bit for a jerry can, 1 bit for probably 4 gallons of heating oil...

Letter:
“Dear Peer Review,
Despite the funds for field expeditions being lower this quarter than in the last quarter of the previous fiscal year, I have decided to approve the expedition to the upper snake river site. The possibility of the basin being host to the lost treasure of emperor Hummingbird Feathers, is sufficient to warrant the investiture of limited fiscal resources, as your paper on the subject, published in the South Equestrian Journal of History, managed to become the 20th most cited publisher paper. This horde has been long sought after, and finding it could allow portions of it not donated to the Museum of History, or viscously stolen by the Natives Right’s Association, to be sold and added to the endowment fund of the University. More importantly - indeed, far more importantly - such a discovery could convince the be Dean to allocate more funds to the archeological and history departments, and could even attract public grants for further study, as well as provide fruitful material for future publications.

Dr. Grant from the Archeology department will be joining you in co-leading the expedition, as he has experience in the field, and hopes that any clues to the whereabouts of the final resting place of Hummingbird Feather will help him secure the department chair. An adjunct professor in Anthropology, Pear Faucet, who specializes in the religious practices of the natives, shall accompany you. Although the Anthropology department head, Critical Theory, claims that she has yet to publish even a single article and her contract renewal is in question, her knowledge of the native language and the region will be an asset. We recommend also taking a number of graduate students and other relevant adjuncts. They should be chopping at the bit for the chance to put field work on their CVs.

Best of luck,
High Chair.”

Another letter, this one scribbled down, rather than the carefully typed letter before
“Dear High Chair,

We have located an old temple two kilometers from Snake River that seems to be the location described in the sixth century account of De Llama. Based in a new amber if factors we believe this site to be the most probable final resting place of Humningbird Feather and the missing treasure of the Marexica. Unfortunately, one if the graduate students seems to have gotten drunk at a bar in Stableside, and bragged about our intended expedition to a number of colonists there. We are afraid this may inspire treasure hunters to try to examine the site in their own, regardless of the dangers of such ruins. We shall proceed with utmost haste. Your faith in us is not misplaced.

Sincerely, Peer Review”

Iron's eyes dart through the text, getting quite a bit excited to see there's an ancient treasure that could even enrich an entire 'U-nee-verse-i-tea' enough to grant awards, confirming Pear's testimony. He takes note of her apparent novice background and flimsy financial position if he thinks what a contract is what he thinks it is.
"It seems word of this exploration spread out by one of Pear's companions back at the 'bar' at Stableside. I am guessing this is why these bandits are here."

"That sounds about right. They trick travelers into revealing information about what items of value they may have, then follow them, and ultimately rob them."

She reads the letter:
"I remember hearing about Hummingbird Feather in School. He was the last free King of Tenochtitlan, a native kingdom after the overthrow of the Quetzalcoatl Empire. Tenochtitlan was united into the Principality of Equestria under viceroy Valiant Cello of the Equestrian South, and General High View. The city was described as having great suits of gilded armor, fine gem be-speckled brooches, and other great treasures, but disappointingly little was found when the city was taken. Hummingbird himself was made a prisoner in his palace, and ultimately died there."

She answers, firmly if non-responsively
"The period between the fall of the Quetzalcoatl Empire and the early colonization by Equestria's southern expansion was a turbulent time for the Tenochtitlan basin. It endured long lasting night, then blistering heat, chaos and turmoil, then war, and it all ended with the Cocoliztli epidemics. It could hardly be a wonder if some of the natives decided their best course of action was to pledge fealty to those very gods they believed were besieging them - the gods of death, strife, plague, and divine justice - in the belief they might be more inclined to dispense mercy ... and they could do it here, in this 'gateway to the under world,' in the Snake river valley, this part of the forest that never really fell under the power of the Equestrian Crown. Not then, not now. They must have sneaked away their treasures, and the body of their last king under cover of darkness, and brought him here, where the sunlight never reaches, but neither would the Equestrians. Maybe they hoped that if they could not escape death, they could at least take their treasures into the next life. Maybe they thought they could bribe the gods. And maybe, just maybe, the Equestrians buried Hummingbird in a pauper's grave, and Tenochtitlan was never as rich as everypony wanted to believe it was.

But uncovering long forgotten truths is kind of why I am here, isn't it?"

Ask Dusty Outback for some kind of help
Ask Blue Skies for at least a partial payment, or maybe for weapons
Ask Dark Star for help

Through the windows on the left side of the corridor the landscape changes progressively as the train nears the city. Fields continue to dominate, but now villages of red roofed houses pass by with their small church steeples, and do too do mills and grain elevators that appear increasingly industrial. To the left of the tracks are another set of tracks facing the opposite direction, and at one point, the train passes a stream train carrying box cars, cars of grain, and cars that seem to be full of coal or minerals.

Nearing closer to the city, housing becomes denser, then come factories with great brick smoke stacks. At last the train comes to the side of a large river, where, further down, can be seen what must be a large power station, a building of tall brown walls and far taller stone stacks that send great amounts of white steam and smoke into the air. Further down the river still can be seen another river into which the present river combines. The train glides over the river through a black painted iron tied-arch bridge, and a similar bridge can be seen crossing the river further down. The city it enters has a number of square shaped high rise buildings piercing the sky, covered in glass, brick, and grey stone facades. Below these are lower stacked brick and grey faced tenement buildings, usually of four or so floors. The streets are crowded with carriages, and telephone lines stitch chaotically between buildings. Through more then one gap can be seen the railway of elevated subways.

As the train progresses further, it passes a change in scenery: through the trees of a park is a large stone castle - an old palace with walls and high towers - that, along with a gothic styled cathedral surrounded by apartments and office buildings, is among the last reminders that Bales, too, is an ancient city, almost as old as Equestria itself. Once the seat of a great, Northern Equestrian duchy, Bales adapted well to the Industrial Age, sitting at the convergence of two important rivers and now an important junction of railroads. Like Baltimare, where the only significantly historical buildings are colonial-aged buildings by the waterside, Bales is dominated by modern architecture, whatever you may think of it. Bales even more industrialized, and evidently wealthier than Baltimare, though it appears to be less wealthy than the old court city of Canterlot, where the city center is remains dominated by the quaint and well preserved townhomes, chateaus, and shops of the past.

Canterlot still has its history. Baltimare never had it. Bales must have lost its history in a major disaster, save a few important thick-stoned structures.

Pear gives a commentary on the simple bronze bowl
“Not every pony who came here was wealthy”
As she says this, Iron should lay his eyes on a much more elaborate golden chalice, studded with jewels, that lay at the bottom of the stream
“But even the wealthy prostrated before the powers of Life and Death, uttering prayers into ceremonial bowls of water that contained stream water, before carefully pouring the water back into the subterranean stream. In this way they hoped their prayers and careful words would be sent through the water to their ancestors.”

The irony is quite funny to me.
I'm not sure if you can take luck skills unless GM decides to go with a certain book.
As for my character ideas, I had one called Beaar Hugger. Basically a monk grappler mare that would use her close distance to the enemy to give incapacitating hugs, whether the enemy likes them or not.

Eh, these were made a few years ago, and certainly not made with DnD in mind. I was much different even just back then. I like Beaar Hugger, though. I get the feeling she would be a very friendly pony to get to know, even if you're her enemy.

Found another one: Midday Eclipse, a hopelessly romantic, half-vampiric unicorn stallion. I'm not even sure how that would work using the game's mechanics, but the character itself offers a fair foundation to build off of, I think.

Thanks man.
Midday Eclipse sounds like that one character that flirts with everybody with bouqets of flowers, which is both funny and charming. Bear Hugger would love that sort of pony, although she may be oblivious to his advances and consider him a friend.
I also had Charming Whisper. A runaway noblemare who decided to become an escort. Rouge focused on charisma mostly.

Got one, final character here: Dream Chaser, a childish rose-colored unicorn mare with big dreams of helping ponies in need all across the world. Might be a Cleric if I was ever going to play as her.

Yeah, she fled a forced marriage with a declining noble. She's surpisingly still a virgin though.
The cleric poner sounds alot like urban Ash, actually.
Since she cares more about ponies than nature and all.
Last one was a telepathic psion unicorn mare who wanted nothing more than to rise to power like her father did once before. She's all about mind damage, but it's not really fleshed out seeing how I don't even have a name for her yet.

Charming Whisper is the one that had the most work put into it. Bear Hugger is just that one boss encounter I shared some time before, albeit with a different backstory.
I now feel that Bear Hugger and Silver would definitely kick it off.

As Silver hooks himself up to his cart outside, he takes a good look at his current equipment and the tasks ahead, realizing that maybe, just maybe, he's a bit under-prepared for the mission. I wish Skies would have given me straight answer when I asked her about machine gun...

He stands there for a few seconds while he considers his options, eventually deciding to go back to his room, grab the Bits Gun, and bring it to Blue and ask her once again about getting it fixed up.

Well, it’s not Spanish, it’s Greek. But I don’t know what the hell a Greek accent sounds like because I’ve never heard a Greek speaker in real life or in media, and I can barely even find videos on YouTube when I specifically look for Greek, whereas the 50 permutations of spanusg speakers are so insanely common that at work today I had multiple moment where my lack of fluency in the Spanish language and Anglo accent made things awkward. YouTube can’t tell me what a Greek accent sounds like, but it can tell me that it sounds similar to almost Mediterranean accents, especially Iberian Spanish.

Personally I don’t really imagine Skies with an accent, and I cannot really even imagine what a Greek accent would sound like, but I know that logically, she would retain a Greek-sounding accent, whatever that is

“I contracted him to collect a number of books that may be of interest to Section 13 and other researchers in Sunset. Yes, there are a large number of very dangerous... entities in there.”
Skies comes closer to Dusty. Closer, and she whispers something into his ears. He nods a little, his eyes widen, and he nods more affirmatively. When she pulls away, he relents

Before leaving the train, Brie pops back into Onyx and Sparks' room. "I have an idea!" he exclaims, seizing the 3 rifles (there were 2 carbines and a shotgun, one of the Lings had one of the carbines) and bundles them in his jacket.
He then uses his cloak's disguise ability to make the bundle of firearms look like a guitar case (desperado anyone? anyone?).

I don't know that they can't, the spell places a glamer on you and your possessions, and it works better when the possessions approximate the size and shape of the illusion.
TBH, I'm gonna try and pawn the guns off anyway since the Lings aren't proficient and Brie can't even use them since >not unicorn, but it would be a shame for them to go to waste. The city seems urban enough that there's probably a seedy griffon shop that will take them

She looks through an expandable folder of files on her desks, peers through it, then pulls out a sheet of paper, and begins writing down on it with a pen

Submachine guns were never legal in the great majority of Equestria for civilian ownership, or even for police forces for that matter. The only exceptions had been the Forbidden Jungles, the Dominion, and certain areas east of the Everfree where farmers, ranchers, loggers and plantation owners could carry Submachine guns to protect them from the almost surreal wildlife. This was discontinued, for fear that bandits in the forests, or left and righting radicals in the Dominion, could get ahold of them.

The prevalence of paper money is totally not because the occupiers are trying to create new money to spend on costly occupations and war or anything

Silver lightly nuzzles Skies' cheek. "I suppose I better get on it, then. Sooner I get done, sooner I can spoil you. Perhaps someday soon I will have to be your own personal unicorn servant for duration of day?"

Nah man, they totally aren't doing any of that.

“D’aww, Silver... You're too sweet”

Then she comes closer to him, carefully placing her muzzle by his ear, and whispers
”That’s not going to make me pay you more money

As much as Skies might see ulterior motives in everything other ponies do, this time it seems legit. Or, at the very least, the prospect of doing this to try to get more money out of her was the farthest thing from his mind.

Seriously, I had no intention of trying to get more money out of her this way.

All Silver's secrets and feelings are belong to Blue Skies and he must reveal them

Skies, for her part is a bit surprised
But she's also exposed and huggable/nuzzleable

Well, he has an...unusual...taste in cuisine. He thinks he might be unwittingly responsible for Rosa Maledicta discovering her affinity for necromancy. He as-always is worried about the future, both of his family and of his people. And his current thoughts seem to be dominated by a combination of creative ways to eliminate many ghasts at once and how nice it will be to return to Blue a success.

Oh, and seeing a clear opening, he almost pounces on Skies, wrapping his forelegs around the back of her neck and giving a further nuzzle to her cheek and the side of her neck. "I will see you after I am done, yes?"

I think he took that to heart and just posted some of the now owned by Skies thoughts.

Because why not.

With this Silver relents in his hug assault. "Thank you for everything, Skies. I hope you have fun with Star, wherever you two were going."

Skies walks out, goes left, in turns a left corner, down the hall again and through a door to the lobby, the same door as to reach the stairs

That goes for Spark and Onyx too, but we can't really keep track of eachother in the horsefucker forum.
Speaking of keeping track, what about Iron's dream sequence? I'm rather surprised it's still not done yet.

What a strange question.
Why not? It's supposed to be an epic about exploring an ancient temple in an attempt to both get some riches and beat up some 'bad' guys.
Problem is, I thought you were still plotting where to go next after my responses went unseen about 2 or 3 times. I made Iron go back to the wall that Cauldron and Pear would be as the last action. You can pick the thread up from there.
