Occupied Equestria: Day 4

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

She does not comply with his request. What she does offer instead is this admission:

"Alright, I may have winged a few alchemical jars. Who knows what they contain, but they may be worth a few bits on some market. I did not take any 'soul' jars. What value would I have with with some random dead pony's soul? And it's not like you all aren't looting as well. I see that rifle on you looks exactly like a military model, and both you and Ash are taking the soul jars. I admit I'm still befundled as to what you want to do with those"

Silver remembers the jars of alchemical substances in one of the rooms. Hearing this puts his mind at ease. "If that was case, you could have just told us." Still, Silver casually trots towards the room that still had soul jars in it to check. "It is not like we would have looked down on you for it."

Silver can see when he enters this room that there is indeed an opening at the top of the room. It's kind of a vault shape, maybe 20 feet tall at the tallest. There is an opening that... yes, seems like a well opening. Immediately beneath it is an opening that looks like an actual well, so that placing a pale down it may result in drawing up actual water, assuming of course, that is what is down there. On the far side of the room, away from where the hallway entered, is a raised stone... thing. Looks like an altar or something. There are a few items of fabric hanging up on the walls. These are entirely faded, so who could say what they once had on them. The walls are very big granite bricks. On the left side, and closer to where the three entered, is a few things. First, a skeleton. This one has more fur on it than the others, and has a part of a jacket with more modern clothing on it. It is smaller than any skeleton seen thus far, more foal sized. It's fur looks ripped. Both of it's rear legs seem to be broken, and it looks like it was facing towards the wall. The wall itself is also note worthy, as it looks like several bricks on the wall have been dislodged by unknown forces, one of which seems to have a cavity behind it. Besides the small skeleton are two things. A rifle, although it looks like a toy, and in its hooves, a locket

It charges directly for the nearest target, and tries to bite down with its jaw
