Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters 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 long train ride from Baltimare to Bales has been interrupted by a group of partisan fighters, claiming to be looking for none other than Pinkie Pie, who has been kept prisoner since the end of the war. They don't seem to have found their prize, but they do seem to have found a very pissed off Brie, Onyx, and Spark, as well as another Bat Pony, and both groups have been interrupted by a new set of intruders. In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, and Iron await a new and uncertain dawn.

Silver has to experience first-hoof how personally embarrassing it is to leave a store empty-hooved after having found something you like. He trots back out to his cart, taking note of the name of the tailor so he can return after he gets payed.
Well, onto his next stop: the 2 Strong 4 You potions shop he had visited yesterday, or else some other potions shop closer to his current position.

F, or the poverty equivalent.
Silver taps the bandages around his neck with a smile. "Damn near did. But I have lived on this planet for 68 years; I will be damned before I let it take me now." With a sigh, he places 100 Bits onto the counter. He silently wonders to himself if he told this zebra his name, or if he's just referring to his coat and mane colors. "More of same as last time: two Potions of Hide From Undead."

"What can I say? I do not know when to give up." He takes the potions, once they've been procured by the zebra for him. "If this keeps up for much longer, I will end up very poor, and you will end up very rich." With a final salute, he bids the zebra alchemist a good day, and with his list (mostly) filled out and his cart once again hooked up, Silver makes for the catacombs, hopefully to finish this job once and for all.

"You certainly are first that comes to mind when I think of potions. Have good day." As stated before, Silver gives her a salute before heading out to the catacombs, finally prepared for what is hopefully his last day of excursions into the catacombs for a while.

You sound displeased, but there's genuinely nothing else that Silver can do with the catacombs. He's searched the whole area already, he lacks any sort of weapon to effectively deal with the high-AC ghasts, and most anything he does on his own will likely get him killed.

Sure
As they come closer, Iron can see the outline of a structure. It’s made out of large black stones, or possibly even carved out of a rocky outcrop. The design is extremely simple - rectangular, low, but still monolithic
Pear - “That’s it.”

As Iron nears, it looks like there is a clearing before the temple - assuming this is indeed a temple, and not a rock formation, although the top looks a little too flat, and the sides and corners too square for that. The temple is to the right, and to the left is one tent. There do indeed appear to be a trio of ponies by it, two standing and looking at the third, whose head is propped up on a crate as he lay on his back.

The purpose originally was to be cash reward upon clearing the catacombs from the original quest giver. No one seems to want to do that. And no one looked to requisition special weapons or explosives for the task, just... I know this is my fault, but goddamn does it damped my enthusiasm

To be completely fair, rolling to confirm attack as well as to hit to hit a 21 DC monster will definitely spook the newbies.
Iron nods, confirming the entrance to the temple seems to be only guarded by the ponies at the tent.
He looks over to Cauldron.
"Do you think you can disarm these ponies as well?"

Iron, knowing he's pretty beat up still, decides to try and get ponies to come even closer than they already are from him.
He looks towards his teamates, walking towards any available stick.
"Spread out. I am luring these ponies here."

I'm right with you, there. I hate leaving things unfinished like that. If Silver had those SMGs in working order and even just one other player in case of Fort save failure, I would send him in, but half the party is halfway across the state, Iron is in the middle of his own thing, and Star doesn't seem interested at all.
As far as special weapons and explosives go...I mean, I'm not sure how any of us would even go about acquiring those, or where to start, much less paying for all of it without spending more money than the job would provide. You also seem very adamant in no player having access to SMGs in any circumstance, but that's a whole different thing.

If you want Iron to tag along, you could try gathering information of his whereabouts, which is right on Cauldron's apartment, and then knock on the door and offer money to him. That should solve your second issue. As of the first, I think spamming holy water as a throwable could make it quite easy.

Well, once Silver fixes his money problems, I'm certain he would seek him out. Don't want to drag you out of your dream before you reach a satisfying conclusion yet though, so it'll be a bit, either in-game or in real life.
Holy water seems kinda useless, reading back through its page on the wiki. Feel like what Silver got of it is just going to go to waste.

Just ask the Blackhooves to put the Submachine gun in working order telling them you need it for the mission, Ash for explosives for the same purpose, or alternatively, buy sone fertilizer and sone diesel to make home-made ANFO bombs, plant explosives around the catacombs while using the hide from undead, then get a big set of speakers and start blasting “The Trooper” by Iron Maiden like they do in World War Z (the novel), dramatically cock the submachine gun, light the fuse, and blast away at the undead hordes.

No comment? Well ok.
Iron picks up a stick, gets as close to the edge of the foilage near the guards as possible, and snaps it to cause noise that would hopefully lure them closer.

I'm a little thrown off (not entirely because) since we're jumping ahead. So we're on our way again. The Lings have seen the train so far, Brie got to kill some shit,... good times. Brie isn't exactly incentivized to leave the cabin, for the time being, especially since he absconded with firearms from the invaders (I'm sure the police would ask about those).

I figured the “totally” meant that anything that followed in the sentence was ironic.
Anyways, Brie would have seen the sun rise as the train increases in elevation up the side of a mountain, overlooking a long valley, forest and farms, and eventually slowing down as it enters a town of black roofs and stone buildings, then enters a beige station with a number of police in both black and blue along the red-lined platforms. Police would have knocked on Brie’s door and answered it themselves. Police would have had surprisingly few questions for Brie besides what his motive was for doing what he did (like if he knew the officer was an officer, why he attacked the rebels, what exactly happened in the RPO, what he was doing in the RPO, why he was on the train, and so forth). At some point, they shine a bright light in Brie’s eyes.

I don’t generally want to question any actions of characters, but I’m unsure about the wisdom of staying up the remainder of the train ride. Obviously it would prevent being completely snuck up on, but the only place that would be particularly likely is upon arrival in a station, meaning it would only be necessary to be awake in the 5 or so minutes prior to arrival in the station. I would think the train would awaken passengers through an intercom anyways, so they don’t miss their stop. Brie’s weird cat-things should be able to give him at least some notice of any intruder entering the room. Not sleeping runs the real possibility if being fatigued later, and most importantly, prevents healing of wounds

I can't right at this moment but soon
Just to make sure we are in the same page, it would continue after Iron knocks the barely hit pony while Cauldron gunned down the other, right?

Iron decides to pick up some rope and tie the now unconscious pony in order to neutralize him for the time being.
After this, he cranes his head towards the entrance in front of him.
"Pear, do you remember if there were any traps from that entrance onwards?"

"Inside of the temple? You must understand that these temples are not full temples, like the pyramids to the sungoddess elsewhere in the valley. These are stone slabs of basalt placed over caverns that lead into undergound watershed and rivers - believed by the Neighuatl to be entrances to the underworld. There should be no traps in the conventional sense, but that is not to say there is no danger."

Iron nods.
"I am simply making sure."
With that, he walks inside. He is a bit anxious over the dangers of entering a place where the dead go to the underworld, but knows that he has to beat up that maroon colored stallion that threatens the entire group. Besides, he could get some money from this whole endeavour and he's not one to back away from profit.

Do you want unprovoked knowledge tidbits from Pear, ask more questions, or just go in raw without commentary and only receive descriptions?
As stated before, the temple seems to be built with large stone slabs of pure black, maybe two feet thick, four feet across, and eight feet long... err, 2/3 of a meter thick, more than a meter across and two and a half meters long. The blocks seem to be overlapped by some unknown arcane means, and there is a flat roof above an entrance some 20ft/ 6 meters wide, and 10ft/3 meters high. To each side are recessed little portions of the wall, perhaps as many as three recesses on each side. Some of these are in the wall, recessed like a book shelf. Some are layered, like a flight of stairs almost. For this area, natural light comes inside from a setting sun, illuminating this portion with a reddish light. Some of the recesses have decayed plant matter, sone of them have pottery. Sone are simply empty.

“Small little gifts to deceased ancestors would sometimes be placed around the entrance of these temples”
The pot is circular with a convex middle section, and a a rim that extends outwards. There are no handles. It’s a beige color that looks like the original color of the fired clay, but with a very faded blue band around the center. All in all, it isn’t that fancy

Iron feels like he shouldn't mess with this pottery, even though it could be worth a fortune. Otherwise, the gods may see him in a bad light and not help out from what Pear had just said. He shakes his head, opting to see the decaying plants instead. Maybe some could be useful to Cauldron and not be decayed.

The piece of plant matter are black, and fairly long
Cauldron adds
“Looks like it used to be a plucked flower”

Iron nods. He must be careful not to disturb these presents of the dead or else the gods will probably not help him.
He walks over to the entrance to see what's inside.

Did he? Shit. I thought there was another room inside this temple.
Iron blinks in confusion. "Why would the guards guard a graveyard?" he utters.

“I don’t know... maybe they thought the idols themselves were valuable. Maybe they were looking for gold tossed into the cistern. Maybe they didn’t understand what was here. Maybe they just wanted to rob us.”

"Oh."
Iron slaps himself on the face to try and shake off the lack of attention he's currently having. He looks further into the caverns and continues walking there.

The floor at the entrance looks artificial or carved, being perfectly flat. As he goes further, the ground becomes tougher and uneven. He also strays away from the increasingly dim twilight outside. It becomes black. The air becomes cooler, more moist.
Iron may need light to continue deeper

Iron hums, actually rather stumpted on how to light the way. He knows that tripping himself up is going to be a likely outcome, and falling over dead pony's gifts is a sureway to lose the gods' cooperation. He looks back towards the group. "Does anyone of you have anything to see through the darkness?"

Cauldron pulls a flashlight from her pack, and turns on the black instrument, projecting a cone of light some feet forward
Pear: “I lost mine when the bandits attacked”

Íron nods, slightly relieved Cauldron has magic to light the way, albeit in a short cone.
(It will have to do.)
He looks to Cauldron.
"Use some of your rope to tie your cone of magic light to my head."

Item acquired: Earth Poner Horn! (Only a literal light show)
Iron, now having light in front of him, startst the trek again. He mostly looks at the ground by the off chance he could step on as he continues his travel further deep into the cavern.

The pathway is fairly narrow, maybe two meters in width at most points, although varying. it proceeds downwards, but unevenly. Indeed, the ground is fairly uneven. Mostly the roof of this path is free of obstacles. Iron can only really see to his side, not in front of him

W0t? Why my side?
Iron tries to the best of his ability to climb down this uneven and slightly steep terrain.
>>100177
He looks back at Pear.
"I would believe the boss would be inside, overseeing whatever process may be down here. Who knows? Maybe he has found something of value and is currently fawning over it."

He can see in front of him, but not to his sides
"I would think he would fawn in a more well lit location"
At this point, the air becomes noticeably moist, and the cavern opens into something wider

Nope. Somehow, they never went to war, and they were both allowed to go down their focus trees as if they had won the civil war.

I can feel the hype!
Silver has been annexed, granting me pickles and light. Only drawback is that he keeps rubbing me and calling me Master for some reason. I'm younger than he is, how come I am the Master?
Definitely non-canon.

Your Silver engages in rubbing and other contact because he’s fairly tactile, and uses touching as a way of interacting with other equines. As for if he is calling you master... just as well, considering that he can get a little “aggressive” when he’s the master.
>>100199
Okay... that’s probably a bug

Oh. My Silver didn't come with a manual, so I had no idea he did that. While I like having light and pickles, is there any way to lessen the amount of rubbing? He's rubbing my Cauldron a bit too much and I'm getting quite nervous that he'll try to... place himself as a 'master' to her, as you've stated.

I had tried it, but then he got so down. He wouldn't even stand up to greet me whenever I came back from destroying a bandit camp, even when I brought little balls of fish meat he seems to like. Seeing my Silver so depressed is so saddening.

Okay, so in the normal use of the English language the word “heel” refers either to the area below the ankle in the foot in human anatomy, or a command to a dog to to follow closely. However, looking it up, I was able to find that the term is used in professional wrestling to refer to a designated villain - a character designed to be hated by the audience. Maybe the post is saying Skies is an I likable character? But moreso, the “best” unlikable character? Searching through urban dictionary I found an entry that makes more sense: a heel as a person who “behaves poorly, especially towards a woman.” If this is the meaning used, it refers to Silver, as the post is made in response to Skies believing a statement made by Silver - intended to be a joke - as Silver mocking her values. Which of course happens pretty regularly for Silver, thus making him “best heel.”
