Welcome back to Occupied Equestria, an RP set in a conquered Equestria, using D&D 3.5e mechanics, and based in large part on the My Little Pony mod for Hearts of iron 4, Equestria at War
The party has successfully stopped the Communists of Baltimare from importing guns and foreign advisers in preparation for a revolt. They have also raided a Griffin freighter involved in arms trafficking, and are prepared to leave and end their long night.

Shit, I thought Onyx with 5 charisma would be the first to fuck up like this.

There's no way for that to happen. She would be a hypocrite for that shit, after all "no snitch policy" and she is involved since she has 1500 bits of that purchase that I have given her. So yeah, it's pointless for her to do that unless she becomes suicidal or something.

Don't underestimate the GM. He can pull the strings to make something happen if you don't play it carefully. You are in a crowded bar. Maybe somepony there puts two and two together. Who knows?

I'm not. I just pointed out that the GM should not use Cauldron herself as a conflict-maker. Or a snitch. Maybe this is more plausible, maybe have some of Cauldron's friends from her gang come and try to beat me up or worse, shoot me for angering her.
>>73942
Eh, it's not THAT suicidal. At least not that much. Oh, you are all giving me so many possibilities of consequences. Maybe in jealousy, she sends a hitmare at all kirin I come across in an attempt to shit on me. I sure did open a giant floodgate of consequences. Let's see what he picks, if I do not defuse the situation of course.

I suggest you don't try to catch the GM's attention. I think I screwed something in the narrative and the GM needs to improvise with the bullshit I threw on the table. I guess it's a good roll to increase value by 150%.

I was only rolling, because I was considering cutting it, to offer some of it to the farmer.
I want to bring this wolf to the pack down South. I wouldn't be a very good Druid if I failed to do that.

lolno, this has worse connotations than
>no pussy
here. We're talking about a criminal enemy whose emotions are in havoc due to Iron's Stonehead and lack of emotional awareness here. I really hope she goes on a tirade after a storm off since then she could basically explain what is wrong with what Iron had said.
>>73961
Basically I told Cauldron "u sexy mare. i could fuck u but there is someone more worth than my dick and feefees"

He waves the sentiment off. "Ah, it is alright. Nothing for me to hide. I used to live near Manehattan, but I was born in Severyana. Though you would probably know it better as Stalliongrad."

"I did not live in Manehattan itself. I lived out in countryside, in house I built myself. It was nice place, and I have many good memories of it." He turns towards the counter leaning over it. "But Severyana? It has been so long, but from what I remember back then..." He lets out a long, forlorn sigh. "...it makes what it is now a tragedy."

"The takeover of that region was a shame. If only the princess didn't let it fall. The whole thing was handled so poorly. I guess looking back, this whole war was the result of stress proving too much for the royalty to correctly address each issue."
I pause a moment.
"Sorry. I guess I got side tracked there."

"I am mercenary. I go where work is most likely to be found. I may not like all options available, but there are plenty of opportunities from various groups around Baltimare city. More so than anywhere else in occupied Equestria."

"I always personally mind. But you do not get far as mercenary by picking sides. You remain loyal to contract, and to whoever purchases said contract. Even if I disagree with those who hire me, I will still work to best of my abilities to fulfill contract."

He stays silent for a couple seconds before giving his answer. "I suppose smart ponies would try to leave. Look elsewhere in world for new home. Maybe in River Federation." He takes a drink from the beer Onyx handed him. "I am not smart pony. And I am too old to move so far away, anymore. I suppose I will try to make best of what I have here, for as long as I can."

I look around.

She gets up from her seat. By this time you can see that quite a few bar patrons are staring at the scene, from the bartender to ponies passing by to the big burly Minotaurs and Diamond Dogs playing pool in the back. She yells
"What was that for? You tell me out of the blue that you love someone but you want to fuck me? Do you think I am some tramp? Do you think I am some cheap whore you can have sex with when the little Celestial girl doesn't want to sleep with you?
>>73928
She is a bit surprised by this, but she quickly leans into it, and places a hoof around Dark Star's neck. She continues kissing him, until she pulls away and says
"I guess we could find a hotel room, if you're not too tired"
She has a very big smile, and her eyes damned near glow with enthusiasm
>>73943
Rover is a bit happier now that Perro Sin Nombre has acted sort of playfully infront of him. the healing is start to take effect, and he is in less pain

"The other bartender mentioned him hiring Onyx and some random patron for some kind of job, throwing money around like it was nothing, along with his blue-coated pegasus mare companion, when I arrived. Then I somewhat met them late last night in bar, though his friend seemed more interested in talking to me than Dark Star was."

"Don't worry about that. Dark Star is a good pony. He will hire you for a nice sum."
I whisper "And a share of any other goodies we find along the way. Lots of illegal trade going on we interrupt and lots of ways to get your cut one way or another."

It seems we have another session without the correct characters to make the story proceed. I don't think Dark Star is going to make it, so is there anything you wanted to do in the meantime?

Damn it I will think of something for Silver. Making fighting encounters that make sense within the context of the story, are reasonably balanced, and won't just result in characters being persona non grata is far more challenging than you might think

Not a single clue. I am honestly stumped on what our characters would be motivated to do besides work for the one character with ties to the main source of quests. I suppose we could explore for a place for our characters to stay and the local shops to gear up...

Characters that know what they want to do and proactively seek that get more encounters. For example, Ash wanted to find an orphanage, and found the Order of Saint Prancis with all of its various sisters. Onyx wanted to get a loaf of bread, and so found a colt shilling communism, then got roped into protection duty, and then murdered someone, then went to the hospital, then got arrested, and then got arrested again by a different agency. Ash went to find Iron, rolled a 1 on tracking, and found a guy with a dire wolf she is trying to heal. And so forth
>>73993
Well obviously there are jewelers. So what does he want to find?

Yeah, that's true. Silver's primary concern right now is just "find a job", so it would be best for him to just look around places of interest for any one in need of help. But that's pretty bog-standard, and fairly boring.

"Hello there. I take it you are selling old Jewelry?" The voice comes from an at least middle aged Griffon of white and brown standing at a counter. there are display cases of jewelry. There is a diamond dog behind the counter at his own desk, looking at jewels under a light, and currently facing the opposite direction

"Let me take a look at that. My name is Elijah Talonberg, by the way"
He moves the bar over, and then sits down in a seat a little over to his left and your right. Mr. Talonberg picks up a monocle, and starts to inspect the bar
"This is a mine's ingot. It's the way they cast the gold before it is sent over to goldsmiths or to mints. Where did you get this?"

This shop is a building all on its own, with a large raised roof. When he goes in, he can see tapestries of Griffon knights, display cases with swords, armor of both Griffin and pony variety, and poleaxes, longbows, so forth. A griffin stands at a wooden counter, more slender than Talonberg, but of a similar age and coat scheme
