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.

>>99410Holy hecc. Thanks for the small strategy guide. This should make it somewhat easier to play.
Before we may continue, is my assumption that the ledge pony and the one looking at the trail or backside are the armed ones aka there's one armed pony for each side? >>99416>That die roll>>99417Yes, that is correct
>>99413Is Spark plainly brandishing a weapon?
>>99418Alright. I need some distance in feet to see if Iron is in charging distance for the armed pony. If not, he'll try to close in within the current cover to try and reach charge range.
>>99419I see. Red is not completely wounded. Rolling
>>99418Seeing as I didn't put it away... yes... gulp..
>>99416"Ah... there you are."
I have a sneaking suspicion about how Onyx may react to this situation.
>>99424Stab ponies with halberd?
>>99427Hello
Yep. Silver’s gonna hear that.>>99426Hello. Onyx should be in the car looking at an old burgundy Pegasus mare, an old Burgandy Pegasus mare, an old black Pegasus mare, and a beige Pegasus mare. All 4 look like bandits and two look like twins. They variously hold knives and rifles, and the beige one looks seriously wounded. They are probably responsible for the hole blown into the side of the rail car, but that isn’t really easy to confirm. All 4 look at Onyx and Spark
>>99419Red looks at Brie, squinting her eyes and drawing her teeth back, holding her sword now.
>>99430"Less teeth, more tongue lass."
>>99428>>99431"I don't suppose any of you are willing to drop your weapons and come quietly?"
>>99433>>99434"Whether I come quietly is up to the mare and her technique!" Brie quips
[1d20+3 = 18]>>99428Silver most definitely does.With a snort, Silver opens up a sleepy eye to gaze at the clock. He briefly wonders why he's sleeping at the hoof of the bed until the events of last night replay in his head, making him frown. Ah well. Maybe he'll get to sleep
in the soft bed next time.
Listen: For the now, Silver tries to focus on where the sound that woke him up just came from.
>>99431“Your mouth and tongue really must be useful than your teeth, wouldn’t they, Changeling?”
>>99435>>99433>>99431One of the burgundy mares looks over at Onyx and Spark with strained expression of anger, then yells
“Withdraw!”
With that, the beige mare, the black mare, and one of the two burgundy mares jumps for the whole in the wall of the train car, to stretch their wings and fly once they jump out. By now, the train has accelerated to maybe 20 MPH.
>>99435“I’ll let
them handle you, Succubus.”
>>99437Moaning in the bathroom
>>99439I guess an action is needed again?Iron looks over to the armed pony currently looking at the trail, calculating roughly the distance between him and the target for a charge attack.
>>99440"Finally. But there is still one more here."
>>99435Spark points to you.
"And why aren't you going with them?"
>>99443"Because I still have corpses to loot." Brie shrugs
>>99444Onyx's halberd points at the horse
"And why should we let you?"
>>99447The one looking at the trail who holds a gun, or are both guards in that particular area with guns? I thought the other armed pony was on the other side, back where we entered the camp.
>>99449I think he only gets one. One hit.
>>99443To Spark’s side, a cowering pony speaks up
“Thank goodness you’re here. They were trying to rob the safe before that one attacked them.”
>>99450I don’t think that is possible at the moment. One armed pony is above and one is around back
[1d4+1 = 4]>>99452"Something to remember me by"
>>99451Not of the train, but thanks?>>99452Within these parameters, I'm trying to charge the one around back.
>>99453With 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
>>99454Doable
>>99455A pity Brie is disguised ^_~
>>99439Bathroom 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.
>>99427Skies moans at this, pulls her head up, eyes closed, and clamps down on Dark Star.>>99456‘It’s a pity indeed
>>99457It’s... well, some damage has been done to them by the weight of the books
>>99452"I would say you are safe now, but I have no idea if we have seen the worst or not yet. There could still be more robbers on the train."
Spark thinks for a moment.
"Any idea what all is in the safe?"
[1d20+6 = 21]>>99455Alright, 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. >>99459Taking care that the raiders have sufficiently left, Brie reverts to his dapper (what? It's a nice suit) appearance.
"Not
yet ^_~
>>99459“Usually money, jewelry, or other valuables.”
>>99456>>99446>>99459From forward of their position, there is a loud [b]BAM and the entire car is jolted. Roll balance/dexterity
>>99460Hit. No targets in cleave distance
[1d20 = 17]>>99461"Oh, that explains the double thing. It slips my mind that you can do that. Shall we check on the-"
>>99462Rolling
>>99462The guard bandit gets non-lethally booped hard.
>>99458"Черт." Silver lets out a sigh. Yeah, he'll definitely require new saddlebags.
Gonna have to stop somewhere before heading back to quarry...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.
Probably stupid question: is there a keyhole on the doorknob.
