Occupied Equestria: Day 4 Afternoon

83002 83004
Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian 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.

"Yes," he says with a hint of venom in his voice. "I wish to pass through the gate right now," He stomps the floor. "and I do not like waiting." He has that glare still, now focused on the booth guard's eyes. He wonders if he can break the booth window with his hooves.

"I do not need a reason or a pony to see, now are you going to let me inside or not?" Iron tries to measure the window's strength. If he wants to make a big distraction, he needs to trespass through the front gate. He also tries to predict if he can climb through the fence with his own hooves and willpower.

Now here is the question. Where does he want to land? The lots themselves are usually at least an acre with reasonably large houses on them. The front yards are always well trimmed grass, and the back yards mostly are, with pools and some trees. A few properties have a green pathway and a creek through the back. In the front are roads

>>84351
That was the weakened section. It may allow a smaller pony to fit through, but not a larger pony. He would need to break at least one more

Judging from a set of headlights on the road behind the booth, it looks as if reinforcements have indeed arrived. However, the guard's tone has calmed down. It's almost as if putting up with drunk ponies who want to pull rank is something he deals with literally daily and considers to be a part of the job.

"The guest list is only for the pony whose house is being visited. We have complete confidentiality. Tell you what, just tell us who you are going to visit, and we will call that pony"

Silver gives up, tired after not getting anywhere with the bar he's working on. "Ah...it is no use. Here, you two should fit through here." He motions to the hole he managed to make in the fence by breaking the first bar. "I will have to find other way through."

>>84368
I'm going to assume there's a horizontal bar at the top of the fence.
Use Rope: Silver brings the knotted rope out of his saddlebags, and tries to tie one end of it firmly on the top bar of the fence.

The painting, of a lady, is very large, and not terribly suited for carrying stealthily. A set of stairs are towards the end of the long room, leading down to a closed white door

The room is large enough for the guard to stay away from the edges

"Sir, you are drunk. You need to go home"

Anyways, might as well bring Spark and Ash back through the hole in the fence.

Fine, I'll cut the painting from the frame and roll it up after the house is clear. Leaving the red,... whatever next to the chest for safekeeping before sneaky sneaky opening the door.
Its 8 stealth and 3 dex, if you're wondering

"And leave you to brood in there? I cannot just let you hurt yourself anymore. I feel the pain and suffering you had to endure all of these years. You probably had to hide your femininity from a young age since your father wanted colts instead of fillies and you were about to be his last straw. Going full Oscar Wilde here There is no need to hide anymore. Your father will not hurt you now." He now tries to put his neck inside the booth just for added hilarity.

"That is everypony, and kirin. Come, let us make our way to this Comte's house." Silver heads for the target house, trying to stay out of sight.

Spot: On the way, Silver keeps an eye out for anypony who might see them.
