The Light of Equestria has gone.
Without their Sun, the ponies of Canterlot have fallen to chaos and now riot in the street, burning the belongings of those they believe caused the problem.
Namely, every non-pony in town is now a marked target.

BDN,
accepting to aid the Pegasus in search of his adopted Earthie sister, you've come across a group of rioters in the central area of your apartment. You had opted to attack them.
Here are your choices.
#You can choose any one skill from any class.
Be aware that you will be locked into that class at the moment.
Since you opted to attack the group, you must select a skill that hits multiple or all targets available.

Tela, your character is at home, hiding in their apartment with the curtain shut.
How would you describe the character's home?
1. Wealthy, they've got everything one can image
2. Average, a few more hours at work and he can get a real big TV!
3. Poor, a government loaned home. Bare necessities.

Very well.
Anyone would be happy to be in this room. Everything is nice and whatever isn't new is well cared for anyway.
Of course, it would help if they could see their _______ in front of them. The rioters outside might throw stuff at your windows if they think someone is inside.
1. Paws
2. Talons
3. Hooves
Feel free to ask any questions if they come up.

It be nice to know the full details, wouldn't it?
Alas, all you know is that there was a major announcement on the news, people were attached to their TV and radios, but you hurried home tired.
All you can hear is people wanting "her" back and that it is their fault she left. And by their fault, I mean yours. You've seen a few goats and others beaten from your apartment window.
What will you do?

Why are you asking me that? You should know about yourself.
Of course, if you've forgotten, just look around. Nice bed, nice TV, very good clothes. Even a healthy wallet. You're not some fast food checkout hoof, that's for sure.
Think of a career or job for your character. Maybe it's in management, and up and coming lawyer, or something else?

You can't really trust rioters, though. Who knows what they mean by that.
What is obvious is that they mean you harm. They're setting fire to cars and breaking into stores. Lots of Earthies are attacking houses and sheds and pegasi spray paint everywhere.
Oh, and you can hear hoof steps outside your door.

The rest of the lights cut out. Whoever is outside is still in front of your door.

Clearly, if this was a burglar, they should ask for a refund from whoever taught them.

That might not be such a good choice. The power outage not only took the lights, but the sanity of the rioters too. They're flinging all sorts of stuff, like bricks, car parts, even Molotov cocktails. Those pesky unicorns look mighty smug because they were lucky enough to be born with head cancer.
Oh look, there goes a Molotov now.
It's coming closer to you.
Closer.
Woah, the wind diverted it to the apartment next door. Look at it burn!

And to be frank, I haven't checked out what you're packing down there. A bit of a professional courtesy on my part.

Well, then, now that we've settled that, there lies the little matter of dealing with the door and its new attendant. You've got a good knife in your hooves and you seem fit enough, you could always try to stab through it, unless you want to see what happens to a cooked Crystal pony.

You mistime the thrust and instead bash the door, launching whoever was on the other side. Your knife is bent too.

You slam the door that leads to the stairs. There's an Earth pony there, surprised to see you. I'd recommend striking first before he kicks your skull in.
You can pick one skill from any class, even multiclasses., but you'll be locked into them. So choose carefully.

You leave him to his fate.
Getting down to the 12th floor, there's a mountain of trash blocking your way. Seems they were cleaning up an apartment before this went down. If you had wings, easy, but you don't. The door is open, but you aren't familiar with this floor. Go in?

Lots of noise coming from these rooms. It must be a nice apartment that they included sound proofing so you couldn't hear them from just one floor above. There's a group of shadows up ahead, it's hard to see in this darkness.

What caused this change? But I can't say I disagree with it.
The shadows are nothing but furniture gathered up to make a barricade. It isn't complete, and you can hear the pony working on it fussing about with the next batch of materials.

You're in the room above your auto shop, holding out as the rioters scream and the fires burn.
Tell me, what type of mechanic are you?
1. You work on Domestic cars
2. You specialize in Foreign vehicles
3. Computer alterations for you, adjusting the built in programming

A decent sized Wrench you say? It looks like it would be fit on a battlefield to pop off armor. Pick up a backup one while your at it to dual wield if you'd like.
Now then, back to the possible actions at hand. You can hear them yelling and smashing windows. They are getting closer and closer.
Do you want to take them by surprise, or see if they just move on? They sound more like alcoholics than rioters, might be better to let them pass.

You've got a few moments to prepare. I might recommend arming yourself, but you seem capable enough in a fight. What will you do before they come for your house?

Looks like the looting ponies have made their way to the houses right next to yours, yelling things about how they've lost the Light and how its all the foreigners fault.
It seems a foregone conclusion that you'll go after them, and I wouldn't blame you, but I'll remind you that they are a large bunch. Those Earthies look like they could buck a mountain, and those Pegasi with them seem quick enough.
If you choose to go after them, how's about this: I look away from what you use those fangs for and let you choose any 1 skill that targets a group.

I'm not one to recommend violence as the solution to most problems, but even I can recognize a true artiste's work. It was both cruel and efficient and proper the way you defeated these deviants who now lie at your hooves. well, except that Unicorn pony there whose frozen in fear of you.

Picking up the phone, there's no signal. Those rioters outside might have something to do with that.
In your case, I'll recommend grabbing something to protect yourself in all this fighting and cold and head to a friends house. Staying in an already burgled home isn't so smart, even for you. Are you able to recall any friend's names, or at least tell me what race they are?

See, here's something we can both understand.
A vehicle that fails because the owner forgot to change the motor oil 100,000 miles ago can be fixed, or at least replaced after waiting a few hours for delivery in a big city like Canterlot.
All these vehicles here have been vandalized. Kicked in, burned, all those ponies finally let out their anarchist tendencies. At this point, even the most devout member of Omnissiah would have to call it quits. Quite sad, wouldn't you say?
However, roll another 2d10 for supplies you find, things that could be useful to your journey.

Too true. I'm sure he's got his revenge planned. Like making sure their batteries die right after their warranty expires and that their alarm clocks always strike late. The guy could be so vindictive.

As for your supplies, you should kiss them good bye, if you could move without getting crushed. Children and a few teenagers quickly move in and steal them while you're occupied.

"Pathetic, but an opportunity. I wonder what your blood tastes like?"
He whistles, and two other Bat ponies appear, one darker than the night, another whiter than snow.

Hey, don't blame me for that one, that Vampire Pony is totally trying to get under your skin. Him, not me.
A good choice, saw it coming a mile away, but you only get a surprise bonus on this one. These two aren't as vulnerable in the dark as the rest have been.

Like a solid stone wall, the explosion nearby barely moves you, and a good thing for that Earth pony too. Keeps him from flying everywhere. Of course, all this damage is going to come out of your paycheck.
A car passes by, a masked pony with a rather heavy looking piece of weaponry is looking at you and surveying the damage he caused.

Indeed they can. You just close you paws around the lock, crushing the poor thing. After all is said and done, remind me to sell my stock from that company.
Inside the garage, you find your prize, a small generator. It looks like someone's weekend project, but it should hold as long as it has gas.
And just between you and me, pretend you aren't hearing the shuffling of hooves from behind one of the cars. It's nothing, I'm sure of it.

Sol,
It's cold, very cold, where you are. It was supposed to be safe, to head into a government building when the rioting started just a few blocks. It's an old, sturdy building that has seen its share of upheavels and you hope it'll survive this one too. There's lots of others who ran in with you, some with children, trying to keep them quiet. Others are trying to keep themselves occupied reading or going through stuff, but it's obvious enough they are trying to ignore what's going on outside.
What type of government building did you run into?
1. Tax building, looks like you had to explain some expenses you claimed
2. DMV, you were around even after you submitted some forms for your vehicle doing errands
3. Clinic, you need to make sure you take good care of yourself and others

Even from this distance, you can see the signs of panic on the children and they scurry back underneath the car, as much as they can.
"You know, you should keep it down, some undesirables like us might overhear, you know." A beige unicorn that has appeared behind you says.
"That's a mighty fine generator you got there, which means you have things to power with it. Care to show us?" A red Earthie with a devious smile adds.

There's a Buffalo child holding onto a Unicorn, crying his heart out. The fact that he's as big as her would be hilarious if they weren't both scared for their lives. The Unicorn keeps looking at people.

The power goes out, this time for far longer and the darkness plays host to more screams. Only a few emergency lights remain and whatever glow the cell phones have. Outside of this, the only light is the burning cars outside and the roar of the rioters.

"We were playing in the park while she went to the store, and then everything got loud and everyone was running." The pony says.
"We don't have a key to get in. So we hid here." The donkey child angles his neck all the way up to try and see you. "Please, you seem nice, can we go with you?"

She dropped the stamp, leaving a mess of papers fall to the floor as ponies outside start banging on the windows. They pull on the steel cables meant to prevent break ins and you can hear numerous things being thrown at the building as the doors are being damaged.
My recommendation. MOVE, NOW.

You check your phone. No signal. Not even the wifi seems to be picking up anything. Maybe you should consider getting a real phone, off contract of course, next time your in a well-lit place without rioters.

Your Zebra friend sighs as you appear with more people. "We'll end up with more people here than the Livoberezhna Metro." He takes them to the kitchen, where they grab some orange juice.
You know have a source of power to get you through the cold night, but what awaits you later?

The back alleys get really narrow at times, making it difficult for the two of you to get past at times. Even ponies would have difficulties here, but her twisted ankle slows you down even further.
When you finally emerge, you're in front of the Dnieper River, that runs through the center of town, and all around you arecrazy rioters mildly disgruntled revellers.

1. Make a distraction and let your tax collector make a run for one of the non-burning buildings
2. Help her move across, but suffer a negative modifier thanks to her ankle.
Of course, I can sweeten the choices. I could let you have any one skill, from any class or multiclass, just like that. What do you say?

You can try sneaking through a few houses and buildings, plenty of safe spots, but lots of places where you can be attacked.

It's a renovated area. It's like trying to stick to the shadows in a shopping mall, the place was altered to make it easier for parents to let their children run around, but there's nothing to worry about as you ran through the area in record time, save for that pony who watched you run the whole thing.
You're in the building proper, but the main exit route that would let you just walk through is barricaded. You could try going around it. The left side has a particular smell to it, but you can hear lots of things going on in the rightside, but its hard to tell exactly what it is.
"Philippe. My name is Phillip. What's yours, uhh?"

You were right. There's several charred bodies. A big buffalo body is inside a burned room, but there are lots of glass bottles and the smell of gasoline. There's a pair of bodies, one on top of the other, looks like they were trying to protect each other. There's a burning smell coming from inside another room, but no other motion.
A few steps down, you come across a door which seems to have experienced better days.

Actually, this area seems free of bodies. Looks like it was a maintenance area for the building, lots of water pipes and electrical conduits and closets. There's a generator that is making the odd thumping noise. The place is dark, seems the generator isn't doing its job well.

You get a janitor's fallen rake in the face. Phillipe holds down her giggle.
This time, there was an odd noise following the sound of the rake, but goes as quickly as it came. The generator is in bad shape. A few of the pieces are loose and every sense of your body can tell that something is wrong, your ears with the thumping, your nose with the leaking oil, even your taste buds can feel the metallic after-taste of an unkempt machine.

And don't forget, someone just cut the phone lines, so no calling out through the normal means.

KATHUNK!
Both Pegasi wind up under your massive frame as you tackle them just as they were about to attack together. You can see their hind legs kick back and forth under you as the two others struggle to pull them out.

Even with the heavier snowfall, you can make out the smoke burning through your neighborhood. The rubber smell punctuates the fact that the rioters might be approaching.

The smoke is starting to color the falling snow, giving everything an ominous color.
What's worse is what you can feel. The sounds of many hooves approaching and those of many people starting to run.

Roll Stoneguts, you might be able to still stand.

You have plenty of bags to use, especially after you managed to loot that small store. You should consider sending them a check, just to be nice.
Not much to look at outside except for the smoke and the terrible feelings they inspire. You should focus on other things, like where you'll be headed.
You've got a few options I've mapped out.
1. Head to the River
If you can get to a boat, just sail away, but you'll be visible all around
2. Head to the Freeway
There will be others running away using these routes, so you won't be alone. Downside is you'll be surrounded.
3. Head to the Trains
Emergency operations might make it easier to just be driven out, but it's going to be a tight fit.

They're on top of you this time, kicking and screaming. Numerous epithets are thrown your way and a couple just seem to be swinging wildly and hitting their own.
Until the explosion,
The air and smoke throws most of the ones that were on top of you off, the rest scatter like the scared little ponies they are.
Just a short distance ahead is a smoking subway entrance with multiple screams coming from inside.

Leaving the fort you called a house with everything you could carry, your next destination is the E40 road out of town. It's the straightest shot out of here and to safety of everything that isn't Canterlot.
But the route down the Kharkivs'k Highway isn't that safe to begin. There's other groups heading down there as well, some being more careful than others.
Approach them or keep to yourselves?

These are the more heavily injured individuals. Those with broken wings, bandaged eyes, and other serious but non-threatening injuries. Seems the hospitals aren't a good choice to head to in this chaos.
The Buffalo just lets out a lot of hot air due to the cold and a Goat nurse attends to the injured.

There's an explosion from a building a short ways down the street.

No explosions, but the fire consumes the other buildings. Some of the frailer members of the Red Sun cart begin crying and sobbing. The two children stay close to you, but Mr. Greyvi keeps his eyes firmly focused on the back area of the cart.
"Hey, get those kids on board and I'll pull them out of here. I don't think this vest is going to do too much to deter whoever is bringing in that much explosive."

It's a much quieter walk towards the E40. And in its own little way, the explosion helped. Many are either bunkering down or choosing to leave. The rest of the road down is less eventful, but roll to spot.

The Pegasi and Gryphons don't really struggle to hide their presence. They snap a few photo's too, with their flash giving their cameras away.
The Buffalo stops his cart in the road separating the Centerlot Medical Facility and the Park, which is being used as a staging area. There are lots of garbage can fires and plenty of nurses and other volunteers doing their best to keep order.

"The Children are safer with you." Mr. Geyvi replies. "Me and the boy are in good shape, but we'll slow someone like you down."
"You sure about that?" The teen Gryphon asks him.
"I've already lost my home. That meant something to me. Canterlot is just another place I've been in. Bonnie, watch the kids and make sure all these people make it out. I'll be waiting to have another chat with you outside of town."

An armed Riot Gryphon lands next to the cart and starts talking to the Buffalo. Up in the air, there are constant airlifts of the really injured being taken away.

There's a lot of metal pieces on the subway tracks that aren't sparking, so you don't have to worry about ending up cooked. Heading down the tunnel, you see that one of the train cars has derailed, but there's still lots of noise coming from something that should've been destroyed.

You know how to disable them, at least. That gives you an edge on others. You and the Nurse get a good number of the recent arrivals in good enough condition that they can go back into the park on their own, and even the children do their best by giving people water, but a few are too far injured and have to be taken inside. Sadly, most of those were women and children, those not able to properly defend themselves even in the best of times. The smoke from the garbage fires is starting to get into your nose, and all the sounds are merging into one big caucaphony of suffering.

Someone pops their head up over the subway car railing and checks you out through a windows. Seems the laugher is a Unicorn, but he doesn't seem too bright to be here or to be wearing that garrish outfit. A spiked mane dyed red, spiked collars, and even a piercing on his horn.

Now, I'm seeing that you've never taken advantage of any of my offers, so I'll lay them down again. Any one skill, any cost, all yours. Just think of a way for them to help you get past this stretch.
