Occupied Equestria: B&E
Anonymous

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 Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing 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 party now takes on the task of breaking, entering, and investigating the house of Social Democrat politician Comte "Cheese" Burgher, who is alleged to have 'purchased' two young foals. They have already distracted the guards around the gated community and explored most of the property. Now, Ash tries out her role as a 'dog whisperer,' Dark Star contemplates the evidence he has already collected, Silver shifts between stealing jewelry from innocent third parties and talking about the joyful smell of wingpit sweat, Iron harasses guards by talking to them about queer theory while Onyx acts as his his homosexual partner, Brie tries to get the guards drinking on the job, and Spark follows around the group in the attic.

Brie sighs.
"Not much to it really. I was in and out of the house before anyone even knew I was there. I picked up a few things from the main house - still haven't looked them over yet - and came back to run interference. Thats when I came across you and Onyx at the guard booth. I had planned on getting the guard drunk and then blaming a bunch of shenanigens on him later, but that didn't pan out. After you left, I set fire to the house and then alerted the guards to the fire so that I could go in and out of the scene without being discrete. I saw the others entering the pool house, and so I kept watch outside. I expected them to come out quickly, but they took their time so I went inside." He goes quiet after that. "When I entered," he says finally, "there was a secret room. With a bed. With chains all around it. Beyond that room was a room with cages. In it were Kerr, his brother, and a pair of foals that priestess retreated with. The stench was unpony, and the sight,... I've seen some shit in my day, but that shook me."

"But 'his little secret' is missing the one thing that makes it bad, which is the foals." Iron pokes his chin. "Besides, Star was carrying something important for the exact purpose to collect evidence of wrongdoing. It was a small rectangular box if I remember correctly." He ponders. "Apart from that, did you not stop and consider how the others got in the house themselves?"

Iron is surprised. He then thinks back to his first actual fight with his brother. He has grown and learned so much. His unarmed technique has far surpassed Iron's, even with his lower strength. He knew how to dodge and weave through his punches with such grace. It was the first time he lost for real against him, and he felt damn proud of him. He was going to be a great stallion one day.

Iron does not react again. It should be a nice apology to give him some more love.
After the fight, his brother helped him out and shook hooves in mutual respect. Iron remembers hugging him and congratulating him for a good fight. His brother hugged back, a tender embrace between two brothers. It was an honor to be beaten by him. A pat on the back and they both left off to celebrate with the family. The lunch he tasted was one of the best he has ever eaten. Father congratulated them on a good fight, mother hugged us both and tended to our wounds and sister simply nodded in understanding. It was one of the best days Iron had in his past.

A stream of green and purple goes from Iron into the small drone's mouth

The taste of the food in the memory becomes duller dull, then almost like the taste of eating dirt. Pride becomes lesser, then numb. The hugs become cold. Senses of fear and apprehension that had always been present in the memory now stand out, as there is no other feeling to drown it. He feels physical pain. It is the same physical pain as he experienced in the memory, but whereas before its presence was easy to ignore, it is now at the forefront. What else is there to feel when nothing but pain, sadness, and fear remain?

For all of this, it does not leave his mind, and he still feels he could stand if he wanted to. The little drone stops, and sits. It's belly is large, with a little blue light past the translucent blue hide

I had had the DC at about a 15, which means that Iron's combined 13 wouldn't be good enough. But then again, I think Iron has a couple points from constitution that if added, would reach 15. Also these are children, not full grown Incubi drones, so they maybe should have a lower DC of like 12\\

Don't forget Brie was about to stab one of the innocent guards in a public place. He also repeatedly hinted at the burglary while the party was inside and unfinished. He also committed minor arson while the party was still inside and didn't know how to escape; in his haste to save himself and his cargo he knocked over Spark and left the three stallions in a very suspicious place with sirens in the distance. The only reason they managed to escape was due to heavy dime distortion by the GM turning four minutes into a half hour. So very "wise"

I'm guessing Brie is chaotic neutral?

If ever in doubt, perform a PEST analysis

I've gotta admire this group for their pessimistic and gloomy response to dice. First you have Silver almost re-rolling a new character on not just one but two occasions, then you have have Star being an utter edgelord because of one drain. The melodrama is the most entertaining part of being an observer.

How would a changeling drain affect you if you couldn't feel anything in the first place?

>>85779
As a matter of fact, suits of armor in medieval times cost as much as a car if not more. The fact that they still run in the thousands today despite steel being dirt cheap and machining tools available should tell you something (to be fair, there are far fewer skilled blacksmiths today).

Also, adoption can be really expensive depending on the country, laws in place, and processing. It may be that the "ransom" could simply be a fee to handle all the paperwork that goes with adoption.

It's Silver's turn to look stunned. "Free? Then how is it you make Bits to keep hospital running?"

"Huh. So, where does..." Silver stops himself. He wasn't entirely wanting to get into a discussion with the doctor about how the healthcare system works now. "Nevermind. I will take this tonic, if it pleases you."

And thus Silver is released. 12 hours healing under good conditions

He nods and lets himself in. "I just want visual confirmation. After that, I will take my leave. Maybe I will come back to sleep here if she decides to do the same." Iron scratches his side. "If you would allow it, of course."

Silver leaves the hospital, deciding to head for a general store or grocery store for some sweets, under the doctor's recommendation.

I think that he robbed two portrait paintings, a red cloak, a stack of bank notes, some antique coins, a booklet that seems to have codes in it, and probably a small set of jewelry

>>86116
He sits over in the corner, to himself. If Brie is there he is probably the closest pony, although still a bit distant

He nods. "Now where is she exactly? If she is with sleeping foals, I need some warning. My steps are too loud to sneak by without causing a disturbance." He pokes his chin. He tries to see if the sister attending him is who he thinks he is. Is she Marey? Also, having some dinner, 20 minutes max

Silver doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, himself, but if the doctor said it will help...

He grabs a few chocolate bars (a dozen: 4 plain, 4 dark, 4 with almonds), and brings them to the cashier to ring them up.

I don’t mean to meta game or steer decisions, but is he going to buy anything for the little Wechselbalgs?

“She is upstairs”
Presumably not Marery

Ash’s player isn’t here, so...

He places a couple Bits on the counter. As he gets ready to leave, he realizes he almost forgot something. "Uh, excuse me? You wouldn't happen to have foal's toys in store?"

Yup. Forgot about it until you reminded me.

I understand. I think the player made Ash go to sleep some posts ago. Iron just wants to witness the scene to confirm Ash's presence in the abbey, then he would fuck off.
"Thank you." Iron proceeds to go upstairs to see how Ash is doing. Hopefully she is not wounded.

Suddenly and without warning, Brie gets up out of his chair, leaving in a hurry and a departing "I'll be back in a minute."
He makes a quick route to his hideout to his stashed loot from the previous house, specifically the 'code book'.
