Welcome to the latest thread of Occupied Equestria. Set six years after season 6, it presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while an Equestrian splinter colony - soured to Princesses notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestruan Southlands, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and even ancient necormancers and dark gods threaten the city and the surrounding regions. 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.
In the latest episode, we are starting day 4. Ash is finally getting to sleep after dealing with foals that scarified animals to evil gods, Iron is disappointed to find that the only sex he is getting is in his dreams, Dark Star has declined to have sex, Onxy has discovered the joys of socialized medicine, I don’t know what Spark is doing, and Silver has discovered that when you don’t complete a quest, you don’t get paid for it

Iron chuckes. "I know, it is shady to ask that type of question. I just do not know much about plants. I once ate a plant that made me very sleepy once, it just came to mind when you talked about botany."

"Well, I can't say that given you there isn't reason to be suspicious. But really there are many good reasons to want to put a pony to sleep. And there is so much more you can do with plants, especially those of the jungles"

Iron scratches his chin. "Huh, never heard of that type of plant before." He leans forward. "What can you tell me about your siblings?"
Can he obtain his potions or is it part of the 'no go zone' in place

Iron laughs. "Do not forget about a full set of armor." He composes himself. "I do not want to worry the ponies in my client's location when I get there. They could faint by the state of my body."
It should be 1650 total with the discount.

Like what did he buy that costs that much? It also makes me wonder about that discount. A 50% discount makes sense on like 600 of potions because Iron gave her 1500 yesterday, but when it's 3300...

4 cure moderates wounds = 300*4 = 1200
3 barkskin +2 = 300*3 = 900
6 cure light wounds = 50*6 = 300

Come on GM, I did the math correctly this time. It's just 600 more and dividing 3000 by 2 gives us exactly 1500 so Cauldron can feel she owes Iron even less than before. Pretty please can I has 2 more potions?

Judging by the deafening silence of the GM, I would say he went to bed. Don't forget to consider those extra two potions. She may have added that to complete the debt if she wants no feeling of owing something. Anyways, good night.

Ash can hear a cute little squeaking noise, almost like grabbing a squeaky toy.
For most of the foals, class begins now, and Abby is still in solitary confinement

With a 19 on a wash check? Yes. Ash discovers that the foal is not entirely suited to dish washing, which is kind of what you'd expect from a foal not all that much bigger than the plates, and with barely developed unicorn magic

Ah, it was worth a shot. Chalk it up to bad math. Well, I think I'm able to travel to the abbey now, right?
Iron smiles. "Well, I had fun, Cauldron, but I cannot stay here forever. Let me pay and retreive all of the potions I asked for and I shall be on my way."

For those at the Church, or just leaving it, I figure there are three possible solutions for whatever you were trying to attempt
1. Maren calls in help from a militant order
2. Maren himself joins as a cleric support
3. The party takes the holy water and goes in alone
I didn't know what was intended

Pretty sure they were begging for another magic user to help out.
Iron smiles. "I will keep that in mind, Cauldron. The food was great, I may become an addict to it." He pulls out the bits specified Which should be 1200 bits, and hands it to Cauldron, also sneaking a hug with it.

Unfortunately, the colt seems to have exploited this opportunity as a way to reposition himself back on her back. He holds onto her, then climbs her mane, thankfully not tugging the hair very much
Ash finds that the room where Abby is being held prisoner is being guarded by a sister
"What is your business here?"
>>79880
He can feel that her body is slim but with a few firm muscles. After a moment, she hugs him back
"Then you may consider me your dealer"

He weighs less than that.... probably, being both younger than most of the foals and small for his age. He holds down on Ash in hugging fashion, as he learns how to ride a kirin bare back

Ash can see Abby. It may not be fair to say that Abby's spirit has been broken. It takes much to extinguish so strong a fire. But she is certainly sulking as she leans down over a desk, using her mouth to lazily and slowly scribble on paper. She looks up at Ash, water making her eyes more reflective. She seems at least somewhat angry at Ash angry at Ash

"When I was in my early years of training, I was in.. what would you call it.. a rebellious phase. I too pushed the limits of morality to see what I could learn..
When the elders caught me transmuting aberrations in the forest, they were ever-furious. They made me wear a sweater made of nettles, and catalog every species of Flora in the grove... It took me almost four days, fasting.. but I learned my lesson; and I'd like to say I turned out better because of it."

"The griffins most definitely have not. They've always eyed our territory greedily, hungry for what we have. And they have tried their best to take it... many times. They've warred with us then and now. Their 'Aquellia,' in particular not only does not respect the destiny of ponies, but does not even respect the culture, tradition, and history of griffins. Remember that it was griffins on the docks supplying weapons to Communists, and it was a Griffin from the east who was here helping to train the Communists"

"The griffins most definitely have not. They've always eyed our territory greedily, hungry for what we have. And they have tried their best to take it... many times. They've warred with us then and now. Their 'Aquellia,' in particular not only does not respect the destiny of ponies, but does not even respect the culture, tradition, and history of griffins. Remember that it was griffins on the docks supplying weapons to Communists, and it was a Griffin from the east who was here helping to train the Communists"

“Like the lie that Celestia and the elements are enough to protect you? Strength lies in every pony. Only by rising together as a collective nation do ponies realize the power of true Harmony. The harmony of being a part of and contributing to a nation, a culture, and a tradition. Wasn’t it a griffin who killed your mother?”
Definitely need Silver to hear this

She comes in closer and... hugs Dark Star
“If that’s true... then it’s a hell of a lot of bad individual griffins who have guided their history”

She now pets him behind his ears
“It’s good to have a loving mother. And I can tell she raised an incredible son. But she may have wasted some of her love on creatures that had only hate, greed, and jealousy to give back”
>>79965
She looks directly at him, and gives him her grin. She still has her hooves around Dark Star’s ears.
“It was a rhetorical proposition to Dark Star. He was able to recognize Changelings as hostile, but not Griffins. So I pointed out the inconsistency in that logic. Why don’t you tell me why you think Griffins and the other assorted creatures are greater allies than Equestria’s own colonial ponies?”

"HA! Greatest ally...we do not have any allies. Ponies are not even allies, anymore. It is only us Equestrians left to defend Harmony, against all world. All world has forgotten Harmony, true Harmony. All world knows anymore is war. And it will be death of us, at this rate."

“Then why, oh why, do you defend a regime that would war against ponies for the sake of griffins, zebras, and dragons?
Equestria has fallen. That is alright, because they lost the mantle of the defenders of harmony when they forgot that that harmony is the domain of ponies.”

Just to clarify, are you claiming that New Mareland wars or warred against Nimbusia? Or that he did not help Nimbusia?

That he only helped after the war had already been lost. Though, I doubt Blue would be able to figure out that is what he meant.

For refernce, the geo-political situation I am using here is essentially a historical EaW playthrough, with a player taking New Mareland, chosing Fascist, and then expanding into south-east griffonia - a path that will inevitably result in Aquellia and later Equestria, and usually also Skyfall declaring war on you. The historical option also has results like Nimbusia becoming Reformist, Genocidal griffons taking over Hellquill, that Merkel pony thinking she's important, weird things in Greneclyff, and so forth

"You know what I mean. Whoever it was who was in charge of New Mareland, whether it was colonial governor, whether it was independent group, I do not care. When did they decide to go on their own to try to aid Nimbusia?"

"And as I said before, the Princess just sat there on her fat ass and ate cake. No. She didn't send aid. But it wasn't griffins that fell Nimbusia. It was their own idea of Equality" She almost gags "... harmony, progress, social change that disrupted the proud warrior tradition"

"True. The griffins will just try to shoot or stab you. They don't care for philosophy, or if they do it's a philosophy of the guillotine and bayonet for Nobles they don't like. We Nimbusians, by contrast, are well versed in the subject. And we wield it as adeptly as our blades"

"Then you should understand it is not in interest of New Mareland to care for you, or your people. Or to care for me, or my people. New Mareland does not protect ponies. New Mareland protects itself. It is only reason they invaded Equestria, why they 'ally' themselves to changelings and griffons, if you could even call it an alliance."

"True, you are right about that. New Mareland does care about its ponies. They do protect themselves. They had relied on Celestia to protect hem for half of a millennia. After Celestia changed her management style, and after the fall of the Griffin empire, it became obvious that Celestia would not protect her ponies. . Neither from aggressive and iconoclastic griffins, nor from disruptive immigrants, nor from economic depression and want. So that is when they decided to forge their own path, free of the Princess. And in the process of their self defense, they saved half of Equestria - including you - from being Chrysalis's livestock
But you are wrong about one thing. They do care about me. And I don't mean The Duke. In fact, to be honest, I've always been suspicious of ponies with bones growing out of their heads. No, it was Halcyon Shores, Governor General of the Baltimare district, who took me in. Back then he was just a major, but he saw my potential, and the potential of many like me, cast out of our countries from social change. I have lost not one but two homes to progress and equality. It was Halcyon Shores who gave me a new chance. A new homeland, and a new purpose. To root out communists and progressives who would rot and destroy society from within. And I knew in him I had found a devoted Reactionary. One who would not allow the decay of the old traditions nor a weakened stance against foreign enemies.
No. I don't like all New Mareland values, as they are by and large
Equestrian values. They have an idea of pony equality, where unicorns are more equal than others and tend to run things, those freaky pegasi with bat wings are allowed to be generals, and even earth ponies can join the secret police" *pets Dark Star* "But that is what they have done for over a thousand years, and in all their other actions, they resist the degradation of the natural order"

I have some mischevious plans when she comes back with that austistic colt she has been clung
Iron enters the abbey and asks the nearest nun where Thyme is. Surely by this point, she would have finished with his necklace.

Something about what Blue said seems to have struck a nerve with Silver. "Saved? If anything, it is New Mareland who has doomed us all. They have not saved anything, least of all themselves."
TBH, I really didn't want to actually get into a debate today. Or any day, really. It's just that Silver has to be getting tired of having to hear Blue constantly say bullshit like this.

Well, cut her with your sword or something if he's so tired from her rattling on about Celestia is incompetent. Or beta up and harrumph to the side.
Honestly, you're at a huge disadvantage when the person you're debating is actually the god of this world. Just keep that in mind.

Assuming he asks for directions, it is a small white building in the back of the property, not connected to the other structures. When he goes in, he sees several foals working on various crafts.

Iron just watches what Thyme and the colt are doing. It seems important not to interrupt crafting time. He does walk and stand near the workplace where both are working.

"Before New Mareland stabbed us in back? Cut changeling supply lines, destroy infrastructure as we retreat, destroy as many Panzers as we could, faster than they could rebuild them. And it was working...until New Mareland decided they did not like idea of Equestria winning.
"Now? We are all doomed. Chrysalis will invade, she will take all of Equestria. New Mareland does not have any armies left in Equestria to defend. Equestrian army has been killed, captured, or is in hiding. There is nothing left for us to do, at this point, except hope for swift death, and mercy from Her in afterlife."

And does she leave the foal on her back behind
