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
Shimmering Spark, Onyx Steel, and Brie Achtungsex now make the perilous crossing into the Changeling Lands. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares for his next big assignement, while Silver concludes his mentoring of traumatized foals. Much further away, Iron stands under jeweled nighttime skies, preparing his next move

>>105762Iron facehoofs himself.
"Oh."
After slowly dragging his hoof along his face in a downwards motion, he simply nods.
"I understand why you would avoid using that due to the misuse, but what would you call a nun, then? A harmonic?"
>>105763“A nun is a nun. A harmonists is a political ideology.”
>>105761With a final slice of its talons, the raptor rips the mummy in two. Both of its attackers downed, the bird takes the bait, and tries to fly off
>>105765"What about the ponies that believe what the nuns presumedly practice? Do they simply not name themselves in case the ones who try to manipulate them try to label themselves as such?"
>>105765Silver would let out a whistle, if he thought it wouldn't attract the bird's attention.
That looked painful. >>105766“Uh... sure?”
>>105767It is, to say the least. It is bleeding
>>105768Iron blinks.
"Well anyway. Let me rephrase my sentence then."
A little cough.
"You both have harmonic values."
>>105770"And you also dislike your current jobs!"
Iron looks to the ground, lips pursing, then returns with a giddy expression.
"Or at least wish something better or different as an occupation."
>>105771Cauldron winces, and Pear nods slowly
>>105772Iron smiles persists, even though Cauldron is quite hurt from hearing his last sentence.
"Fret not, you two, for I have quite an ambitious plan for all thr-"
He glances at the beat Grant.
"Four of us!"
Staring straight at Pear, he looks quite confident of his actions.
"Before I go any further, I wish to know what kind of future do you want to have as an individual. Become a nun and preach your beliefs to the masses or an explorer who thirsts for knowledge?"
GM.exe stopped responding.
>>105773Alright, it looks as if the Roc has won, having been severely wounded in the process. It bleeds from multiple flesh wounds, but spreads its wings in a powerful "
Caw!", takes the bait, and then flaps to fly off
>>105774Pear only shakes her head slowly
>>105780Really, figuring out the numbers on the combat with the reduced Roc was harder, besides my mother called, I was playing HoI4 trying to finish a war, ad the audiobook I was listening to was describing the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which was very interesting
>>105781That explains it.Silver waves goodbye to the majestic beast.
>>105781Iron's ears flicker, his smile faltering.
"You do not seem quite as eager, it seems."
He pokes his chin.
"It seems the circumstances sours any possibility of making a possible arrangement. I understand. I simply wanted to extend a hoof, but it is honorable to deny it in order to uphold your ideals."
>>105782Hold ur horses, I'm treading on ice here. >>105783Yay! It's Spark!
>>105784The beast is bleeding and thrashed, but not gone. It takes long, belabored flaps, pressing itself upwards and falling down again. It does not have much room to maneuver in the quarry, being almost as large as the plane that dropped the bomb. It jumps and flaps up to the side of the quarry, where it perches for a moment before giving a loud
Caw!, and flying off. It never seems to notice Silver
>>105785"You didn't even present an offer. I just denied that I intended to become a nun"
>>105786Hello again.
Now if only I can think if what to do here... give me a few more minutes to plan something.
>>105786Iron's gait increased.
"Oh! Well, I cannot quite say I can exactly state the offer I had in mind, but I had a long term plan in order to fulfill Grant's request. I only needed to know where to find you when the time comes, simple as that."
>>105788She sighs
"I am not sure I know that. What was your plan?"
>>105786Rest well, my friend. Silver takes one more drink from his whiskey bottle before closing it.
Well, I suppose I had better see what survived. He grabs his SMG and makes his way down into the quarry. He keeps his once-again useful ears open for any sign of movement.
>>105789A single drop of sweat starts to form on Iron's forehead.
"Well, I had thought that with the solid income from the pots' value, I could use it to fund a more stable source of income. With it, combined with my low amount of maintenance, I could easily have spare money to spend on, aside from... other benefits."
He grins.
"Even though your partner here did some damage to my body, I cannot help but feel you need something to liven you up. To give you that small spark of hope of other ponies actually being nice and generous."
>>105790The mummy looks ripped to shreds, with portions of flesh and cloth strewn about near where the fight took place. So too, does the armored one, where much of the armor has been torn off. The skin beneath has that brown, soldified look of so many of the ghasts and ghouls. If there is anything still alive in the catacomb or the water, it has not yet risen to attack Silver. Yet. Noting is moving, except for the water, but that could just be from the roc.
>>105791She looks at Iron, and nods her head slightly
"I see..."
>>105792Iron's grin turns into a giddy smile.
"So how about it? Do you have a particular place we could meet up when the times comes? Maybe a way to contact you?"
>>105793She turns herself towards him, then lowers her forebody to a laying position.
“Perhaps I’m not sure exactly what you are proposing, or why”
>>105794"Simple: Remember the wish Grant wanted to do with the money? I say I fund it out of generosity at a later time. No catches."
(At least not any explicitly bad ones.)
>>105795It looks more like a WIP, but it is turning out well.
>>105792Have to stay alert. Can't let them surprise me. Silver pulls out his flashlight and turns it on as he enters the catacombs.
>>105795Oh shit, didn't see that. That's awesome!
>>105798“So generous of you to redistribute back a portion of what you took with a gun”
>>105799It’s mostly silent, and mostly quiet
>>105800>>105798>>105797>>105796yea i had to touch up some of the line art, so the program i was using wouldnt make the whole thing one color.
>>105801Silver continues through the catacomb, looking for any sign of unlife.
>>105802Neato. One thing I'll say is that the curved line in the lower left corner of the drawing was supposed to be part of her wing showing.
>>105801Iron blinks, looking on his person to search for his supposed weapon.
"Wait, what gun?"
He shakes his head.
"Regardless of how generous it is, it is still a nice offer for you. Keep in mind you would not even had the chance to even get here without me clearing the ones that pointed the gun at you and killed your companions. If I were not here, they would have taken all of it for far worse causes than to make a stable income."
>>105802That sucks, man. I trust you can solve the issue in due time, tho.
>>105804Ill Need to touch that up later
>>105803What Color would the medals be?
>>105805Im Autistic Enough to not stop
>>105805She lowers an eyebrow
“And so, you think you are entitled to
how much?”
>>105806Well, there are no medals, but think about replacing the sargent’s arrows on the edge of the collar with Ordnungspolizei watch team master insignia
>>105807Nice i'll see what i can do.
>>105807"The pots, essentially."
Iron puffs out his chest.
"This is my proof of ownership."
He softens his serious demeanor, going for a more suave incline.
"However, I am not selfish."
(At least not completely.)
"I can part away with some money, even a lot of it, once I have secured myself. After all, how can you help others when you cannot help yourself?"
>>105809“You are
so magnanimous to consider giving back coins from a stash you
singlehoofedly found, acquired and defended, with no help from anypony else either to find it or to ward off the bandits.”
>>105811I suppose looking around the lower level first, as it was the one with the most undead.
>>105810"I cannot say it was
completely my doing." He wraps a foreleg around Cauldron's back, gently pulling her closer to him. "My partner also helped inmensely, saving my flank sometimes and even providing the means to keep fighting."
Iron simply smiles on through her sarcasm.
"I am being quite reasonable here, to the point I am even giving some back to you as a gesture of good faith. I did not try to kill you or your partner, or even hurt you. I do not think I even laid a hoof on you, while those other ponies I took care of would have, and who knows what kind of touch would that be? I must assure you, their touch was probably a bad one."
