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.

No. Kerr is the firs to wake up, straightening himself out, pushing his hind legs all the way back, and stretching out as he pushes himself up over the sheets, then pulling his hind legs up to stand. Both creatures seem to have lost their full disguises, appearing as black, swiss-cheese insects with big blue eyes, and a subtle green glow around them.

“It’s clearly decayed by bacteria and fungi that grow here with all of the moisture. But the steam looks clear enough to swim across anyways.”

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.
>>100487
Do I consider this as a pass?
Iron simply nods. That could be a viable option.

Iron exhales.
(I guess it is my turn. Hooves, do not fail me now.)
He attempts to cross the bridge as the other two did with the utmost care, tiptoeing as carefully as an oversized Earth Pony can.

"Ich wollte Sie fragen, wissen Sie, wie man mit einer Klinge umgeht?" Brie says, pulling out one of his daggers, identical to the ones he gave to the two of them.

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.

Iron exhales yet again.
"I cannot believe it did not break under my weight."
He shines the path forward to see his available options after crossing the bridge.

Smiling at Kerr's assertion (maybe he does, but not like Brie does), Brie takes a moment to show them a few stances, grips, and effective postures, as pertains to fighting offensively, defensively, and transitioning from either posture into a throw.
"Hier sind ein paar zusätzliche, falls Sie sie brauchen." He says, giving each an extra 2 daggers (so 3 to a Ling, with 4 daggers and a short sword in Brie's possession).

There’s a little more cavern, which narrows, but goes up in elevation
>>100496
They look as Brie dies his moves, occasionally flinching when the daggers come closer. Wesley nods at Brie’s words, and both take the extra daggers.
From a speaker in the car,
“Arriving at Bales Union Station in 10 minutes.”

Iron starts his trek towards the slightly elevated section of the cave.
Without moving his head, he opens his mouth.
"I am quite surprised we have not found any other companions you left behind, either as corpses or prisoners. Did they also have the chance to run?"

“I... don’t know”
Iron runs into the answer to that question very quickly, possibly even stepping on it

Iron skids to a halt, seeing the corpses as he shines the light around him.
"Hm. So there is no prisoners for these ponies."
He cracks his neck.
"I can see why the Gods would aid me on this quest to beat down these ponies. The desecration of this temple and dishonor of killing helpless ponies without a fair fight is reproachable."

It’s only one thus far. A sea green colored Unicorn stallion is slouched along to the side of the path where the rock slopes downward. He lays inelegantly, with limbs contorted in odd ways and slouched about, as if his body has fallen down the slope slightly. Blood seeps from around his eyes, and small amounts surround him
“Maybe... maybe... maybe he fell?”

Iron is slightly unconvinced.
He kneels over to check the head more closely for any wound like the coat shredders left on him.

A little blood from out the mouth, but no entry or exit wounds on that side if the pony’s body. At least, no wounds that are obvious and visible

Iron shrugs.
"It seems like he could have just fell. There does not seem to be any wounds on him. We should be careful going up."
He tries to spot anything that could be considered a trip hazard along the path to the top if possible.

Iron, knowing that there's the possibility of falling to the floor like him, looks back.
"Watch your step, everyone."
With that, he starts the uphill trek towards the top.

A few feet, a few feet more...
Then another body. This one is along the path, facing the direction opposite of Iron. He lies on his stomach, or nearly so, leaning a little to his right. A black earth pony with grey hair and a leather bag. Trickles of blood away from his eyes break up the perfect blackness of his coat.

Iron is a bit wary of the added pony to the corpse count.
"What is going on?"
He saunters over closer to get a better look on any clue as to how he died.
Are we in flat terrain or still in an upwards slope?

Iron does not have such a good feeling about this.
He decides to open the leather bag to see if there is a clue of some kind about either his death or this place.

Bales, which, unless the train goes along to Neighagra, is the end of the line now that the Crystal City is hard to get to

A map. It’s not terribly detailed, but the temple site is circled with out the map itself detailing the existence of the temple. A notation is written on the map:
“Campamento de ponis de la ciudad. Tesoro escondido.“

Iron raises his eyebrows, passing the pony's map to Cauldron for 'safekeeping.'
He looks behind him, at the stream they left untouched, having a slight feeling as to how they might have died.
"Let us keep moving."
(I wonder if Cauldron knows my native language.)

The short sword he will attempt to conceal in his jacket.
The guns? Why would he hide them?
On his way out, leading the Lings, he stops by Onyx and Sparks' room. "This is our stop fellas. Here, hold onto these." he says handing over the guns before either can object.

I don’t know... I guess I am glad that the handbook designers acknowledge that not all artillery needs to be horse-drawn, but if you are going to specifically place fast-artillery in your divisions, get motorized rocket artillery

RNG works in mysterious ways. I had a game crash after having not saved for a couple months, so when I loaded back up the Northern War was still ongoing. This time, the Order lasted long enough for volunteers to arrive and turn the tide in their favor.

Little bit of a meta question since I don't have anything else to really talk about right now: if Silver were to go with the explosives and firebombs plan, how many homemade explosives and firebombs could he make with 49 Bits-worth of materials?
