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.

>>99153He walks next to her and points where the camp is supposed to be.
"This little place right there. Is that not right?"
>>99154The location is clearly marked as more important in the notebook
“Huh... this must have been the bomber’s target.”
>>99155Iron cocks his head, not understanding bombardment concepts.
"What is that metal thing supposed to do? Drop in like it did at the lake and destroy the camp with it?"
>>99156“I don’t think that was their plan...”
She looks at it further, then a grin takes over her face
“This must be the bandit’s staging area.”
>>99157Iron smiles.
"Now that is more like it. How would we be able to reach there according to the map?"
>>99158“It’s on the other side of this mountain.”
>>99159"Can it be travelled through or across said mountain?"
>>99160“Yes. It must be, if they can get to us. Unless you’d prefer the air route.”
She looks over at the decayed plane wreckage
>>99161Iron nods.
"Then it is settled. We change course towards the camp through the mountain if possible. Point me towards the direction the mountain is and we shall start our travel."
>>99163"What do you mean? Is the camp not where the bandits are residing?"
>>99164She blinks
“Why would we go to the bandits.”
>>99165Iron thinks for a bit.
"I was thinking to strike them to prevent any further ambushes for your safe extraction. The best defense is a good offense, after all."
>>99166Cauldron pulls forward
“You said we were getting money. Do you really want us to get killed in the process?”
Pear, however, says
“On second thought... Yes. We should.”
>>99167Ooh. Pear seems quite interested.Iron shakes his head.
"I understand the danger of facing his ponies now, but if we do not crush them, they will haunt us for longer and sabotage our lives. We need to show that we are not ponies that should be messed with. Keep in mind that more ponies mean more things we can sell later."
Besides, I want great cleave to be useful for once. Damn feat. >>99168I don’t know about starting any gang wars...”
Pear says
“As he says, better to attack them on our terms then let them attack us on their’s.”
“Alright...”
Cauldron seems unconvinced, but acquiesces
>>99169Iron nods.
"It is settled. We shall go to the camp and deal with them. We march."
With that, he awaits Pear's direction to start the travel in the usual travel formation of Iron at the front and Cauldron at the back.
(The money we will get after getting all of these bandits' loot will be quite larger. Cauldron will thank me later as long as we succeed. Still, there might be the possibility of causing some turmoil in the gang but how would they know our afilliation? I am just a rookie while Cauldron is a grunt, nevermind the archeologist making things more confusing. Focus on downing all the ponies there and getting their stuff. The profit will be worth it.)
>>99170Thus, they go. The position seems to be over the hill, and down around the other side. This area is more filled with brush than trees, though there are enough high canopied trees to break line of sight. Pear regularly stops to try to evaluate their position and make adjustments to their movement
>>99171Iron goes along with it.
(Pear seems to be a lot more confident now that she has someone to act as brawn. I wonder if the bandits took some of the archeologists captive to know the temple's layout.)
>>99175I’ll say at least thisAfter 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.
Dark Star hasn’t been seen for five days and Silver isn’t active, but nevertheless:
Skies wakes up, pulls herself out from under Dark Star, and goes to shower
>>99178Speaking of inactive players...
I should be free tonight and tomorrow, but from then on it is pure chaos.
And I didn't see if my damage to the pony with a gun did anything. I may have missed that, but I am still wondering if I got at least one before I find myself the one taking damage and/or falling to the ground.
>>99178Dark Star is reluctant to let go of her but he complies after a few minutes then he cutely pouts.
[1d20+2 = 17]>>99181“D’aww. Did you want to do more cuddling?”
>>99180Shimmer’s shot hits the pony and does damage, causing him to bleed from his chest. He levels his carbine and shoots at Shimmer
[2d6 = 5]>>99182>>99182Looks like a hit. Rolling damage
>>99182"Its never a bad time for cuddles." He Grins at her.
"Hurry back~"
>>99184She smiles at him in her way
“Unless you want to join me. Or cuddle now.”
[1d20 = 12]>>9918311 HP left.
Spark stumbles backwards from the hit.
"I'm not letting you take this train! Can't you leave a pony to travel in peace?"
He fires once more.
>>99185"Joining you sounds fun" he whispers
Dark Star gets out Bed and follows her to the bathroom
[2d2 = 3]>>99186Hit. Rolling damage
>>99187She gives him that grin. She walks over towards the bathroom door. Silver is sleeping on the bed, across the bottom, almost like a very large dog. Skies enters the bathroom, then the shower, and starts to turn the knobs.
>>99188Dark Star Grins Back at her
Dark Star's Cock is slightly poking out of his sheath seeing her walk over to the showerHe Then walks over to the shower and steps inside
>1F
>>99189Skies turns on the water. She seems to have it a little colder than Dark Star may like.
She places herself into the stream of water, closed her eyes, and lets it flow over her head and her neck. She almost looks like a dove, bathing in a fountain as she lets her wings spread out slightly, touching Dark Star
>>99188Does the pony fall, or tis just a flesh wound?
>>99191Dark Star inhales sharply at the cold sensation hitting him
"You are as beautiful as a dove,blue"
He Starts gently trying to preen any loose feathers off of her as he kisses her neck
>>99192‘Tis but a flesh wound
>>99193Her wings flinch a bit, and she pulls her wings back
But she sort of smiles at the kisses
>>99194Spark is not going to have a good day.
>>99195HE FUCKING LIVES.
Gunshots heard at the end of the train car in the vestibule
>>99197Only on the outside.
Onyx decided heading towards the gun fire is a smart idea.
>>99198Looks like one of those insurgents is near the door, shooting at Spark, who is shooting at him. Both are wounded
>>99194Dark Star Frowns slightly as she pulls her wings away
He Trails kisses down her back getting closer to her flanks
>>99200They are still there, as pretty as ever. She continues to wet her mane, and let it fall down
[1d20+10 = 30]>>99199Onyx rolls his eye before preparing his halberd and charging the shooting pony.
>>99201Dark Star takes a second to Admire her wings before planting a kiss on her dock.
"Your Wings are Magnificent."
>>99202N-Nice!
>>99202.... I think Onyx may have just made that pony into a shish kebab
>>99203Her tail instantly goes up
“D’aww, thanks”
Her wings spread a little more, and a forehoof tried to apply some shampoo
>>99204Oh boy! Halberds are a x3 crit too!
[1d6+6 = 8][1d10 = 1]>>99205.... I think the dice fucked up
>>99206>>99205Uh... what am I looking at?
