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.

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.
Well, onto his next stop: the 2 Strong 4 You potions shop he had visited yesterday, or else some other potions shop closer to his current position.

F, or the poverty equivalent.
Silver taps the bandages around his neck with a smile. "Damn near did. But I have lived on this planet for 68 years; I will be damned before I let it take me now." With a sigh, he places 100 Bits onto the counter. He silently wonders to himself if he told this zebra his name, or if he's just referring to his coat and mane colors. "More of same as last time: two Potions of Hide From Undead."

that’s the kind of courage the mares sure adore.
I shall provide your magical potion
Soon enough , your plan’ll be in motion”

"What can I say? I do not know when to give up." He takes the potions, once they've been procured by the zebra for him. "If this keeps up for much longer, I will end up very poor, and you will end up very rich." 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.

"You certainly are first that comes to mind when I think of potions. Have good day." As stated before, Silver gives her a salute before heading out to the catacombs, finally prepared for what is hopefully his last day of excursions into the catacombs for a while.

You sound displeased, but there's genuinely nothing else that Silver can do with the catacombs. He's searched the whole area already, he lacks any sort of weapon to effectively deal with the high-AC ghasts, and most anything he does on his own will likely get him killed.

Sure
As they come closer, Iron can see the outline of a structure. It’s made out of large black stones, or possibly even carved out of a rocky outcrop. The design is extremely simple - rectangular, low, but still monolithic
Pear - “That’s it.”

He remain ever so vigilant for any sort of guards, trying his best to use the foilage available to his advantage.

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.

Focusing on the tent on the left, he tries to get closer to it as far as the foilage lets him in order to get a better look of their equipment.

The purpose originally was to be cash reward upon clearing the catacombs from the original quest giver. No one seems to want to do that. And no one looked to requisition special weapons or explosives for the task, just... I know this is my fault, but goddamn does it damped my enthusiasm

To be completely fair, rolling to confirm attack as well as to hit to hit a 21 DC monster will definitely spook the newbies.
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?"

Hm.
Iron, knowing he's pretty beat up still, decides to try and get ponies to come even closer than they already are from him.
He looks towards his teamates, walking towards any available stick.
"Spread out. I am luring these ponies here."

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.

Well, once Silver fixes his money problems, I'm certain he would seek him out. Don't want to drag you out of your dream before you reach a satisfying conclusion yet though, so it'll be a bit, either in-game or in real life.
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. Well, use a Phonigraph that plays Kalinka loudly, but you get the idea

No comment? Well ok.
Iron picks up a stick, gets as close to the edge of the foilage near the guards as possible, and snaps it to cause noise that would hopefully lure them closer.

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).

Seeing how he got the ponies' attention, he awaits to see if they come over to investigate the twig's rifle-like sound.
Should sound noteworthy when it sounds so clsoe to their proximity.

Me: If Changelings we’re going to try to abduct a party member, they’d take the form of a sloot in a bar laying a trap, and they’d do it at night.

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.
