>"Dash..." Twilight grumbles in a warning tone. >"Am I going to need cider for this...?"
>"No! This is totally awesome!"

>"The Lich may have an army, but so do we." The bard's voice rings out strong and true. You are heartened by her recovery. "We just need to rescue them."

>"Applejack?"
>"Sorry, sugercube, plum forgot to bring any."
>Twilight screams in frustration, throwing her hooves into the air.
>"Well..." Applejack looks around the table, her gaze finally settling on you, pleadingly You can tell she didn't bring any for a reason, but she can't tell her friends that...
"I think it would be best if we skipped that."
>Everyone looks to you in surprise. You? Turn down alcohol?
"It would take at least an hour to get to Sweet Apple Acres and back with some cider. Do you really want to put the game on hold that long?"
>"No... " Twilight shakes her head vigorously, her mane flipping back and forth. "I'll just have to find a way to get through this."

>The bard stands.
>"Tell us everything you saw - we have plans to make." She nods towards Mint Julep. "We have to wait for our companion to recover before we move on, but that doesn't time must be wasted."
>Existential Dredd nods grimly, reaching into her saddlebag and retrieving a map. She spreads the map out on the floor, placing a trinket on each corner to hold it flat.
>Small spatters of blood mar parts of the map - a sign of the dangers the Earth Pony braved to find your way. Not all of it is hers - not all of the blood is red. Flecks of black and green also decorate the paper.
>The four of you gather around, leaving Mint Julep to her well earned rest.
>>
>>21316002

>Twilight Sparkle pulls a page out of one of her notebooks and reaches over the DM screen to place it in the center of the table.
>"Existential Dredd managed to cover a lot of ground - I've been copying out this map as you go." She points to several areas of the map. "She didn't go down those tunnels, so there's probably more -"
>"Probably?" Pinkie Pie asks. "You're not sure?"
>"PROBABLY more in those directions."

>"But that doesn't concern us," Existential Dredd waves away your questions. "The slaves are mostly in this area," she points to an area marked in red, "but it's also with the highest concentration of Reavarii."
>"Reavarii?" Durararog looks at her questioningly. "What are those?"
"Followers of the Lich, traitors to all of existance."

>"Basically cultists!" Pinkie Pie bounces up and down. "I have an idea? Did you find their Kool-Aid? We could poison it!"

>"I see no way for us to defeat them through subterfuge." The assassin frowns. "Their supplies are well guarded. We would need kill all the Reavarii to reach them, which would defeat the purpose."
>"Hmm..." The bard taps her chin, deep in thought. "What about those machines?"
>Existential Dredd rummages around in her bags, pulling out another sheet of paper.

>"I was wondering when you were going to ask about that, not that it will do you any good." Twilight puts another sheet of paper on the table - it loosely resembles what would happen if a truck hate-raped a mine cart.
>You know that ponies in general do not put much stock in self-propelled vehicles, but still... you would have thought she would have a better design.
>"None of you recognize it -"

>"I know what this is," Mercury Flare states with unquestionable certainty.

>"What!?"
>Rainbow Dash holds up her character sheet, pointing to the relevant part.
>"Drive: Motor Vehicle."
>"Seriously?" Twilight's jaw drops. "Seriously? I thought that was a joke!" She turns to you, jaw still wide open in shock. "You seriously gave her that?"

>>
>>21316390

"Yeah, why would you think I was joking?"
>"Because why would you take that? In a fantasy setting?"
>You shrug.
>"Came in handy, didn't it?"
>That look she gives you... if you two were dating, you're worried that you would be spending the night on the couch.
>"Fine."

>"I know what this is," she says again, looking back up to Existential Dredd. "If you can get me to one of these, I can operate it. It looks fairly sturdy -"

>"It looks sturdy, right Twilight?"
>"Like you could drive it through a brick wall," your princess answers with a sigh. "Applejack...?" She looks to her a friend with a hopeful look.
>You shake your head frantically, hoping Twilight doesn't see.
>"I... I think we shouldn't stop just quite yet."
>"Fine..." Twilight whines.
>>
>>21316600

>You can tell she isn't going to give up.
"Continue planning without me - I'll be right back."
>You stand and enter the kitchen, pulling out your friends' mugs, glad to see they are no longer hidden. After a moment's search, you fill them all with apple juice and add a splash of vinegar.
>Bleh, tastes horrible, but at least it tastes like cider.
>You gather the mugs in your hands... well, you try. Carrying six full mugs without spilling anything is a bit beyond your abilities.
"Hey Applejack, could you help me in here for a second?"
>After a moment, the little orange pony pokes her head through the door.
>"Whatcha need help with, Anon?"
>Then she sees the mugs. Is that a look of concern on her face? She enters the kitchen fully, moving over beside you.
>"I'm hoping that's not real cider..."
>Why not? you ask yourself.
"Nope, basically just apple juice."
>"Thank Celestia," Applejack sighs in relief. "Don't know if you've noticed, but she's been hitting the sauce pretty heavily lately."
>She had seen it too?
>"That's why I didn't bring anything tonight," she explains.
>You nod, signifying your approval.
"You know..." Applejack leans in confidentially, "... she's even asked me to make apple*jack*."
>You stare at her in confusion.
"She wanted you to make *what*?"
>"It's when you freeze cider and pull the ice chunks out," she explains, "Only the water actually freezes, so it doubles or triples the alcohol content."
"You're named after *booze*?"
>"I'll kick you into next week if you continue that train of thought, sugercube."
>You shut your mouth. While you're pretty sure she can't do that, it's not worth finding out. You gesture to the mugs, then back to the doorway.
>With her help, you're able to get the mugs out to the gaming table with minimal spillage. You don't know what made you think ponies can carry full mugs easily, but AJ gives it a good go.

>You can't get it out of your head that you now know Applejack was conceived on a night of drunken debauchery. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's your headcanon now. That's right, you headcanon real life.
>And you should never, ever, EVER say that around her.
"I picked up a little bit of cider earlier. Stashed it in your refrigerator."
>You put Twilight's mug in front of her - she looks up to you like she loves you with all her soul. It makes your heart hurt, knowing that you're lying to her. Also, that you're serving her something that tastes like ass.
"I'm afraid it's not from Applejack's farm. Quality isn't that great."
>"That's fine, I just can't be sober now." She takes a sip. "It tastes... nice."
>"Nice?" Rarity giggles, "I think I might pass on mine, if that won't offend you."
"Not at all."
>You sit, forcing yourself to take a sip. Oh gods, it still tastes like ass.
>Even Pinkie Pie barely chugs hers, and that's a pone that takes her drinking seriously. Oddly enough, you've never seen her drunk.
>Or have you never seen her sober?
>You're not sure.
>Either way, Pinkie is Pinkie.

"So, did I miss anything?"
>"Nothing important." Dash grimaces at her mug. "Just working out where the machines are."
>She points to another red mark on the map. By the label, it's the entrance to the mines.
>"We might be able to fight our way in," she scowls, "but probably wouldn't make it out."
>"Actually, sugarcube, I had a thought on that."

>"Though their numbers are many, the Reavarii in this area seemed rather... inattentive." Existential Dredd smiles with menace. "The bard and I should be able to sneak in unopposed."
>Mercury Flare looks unconvinced, but eventually nods her consent.
>"How will we escape?" she asks after a second's thought.
"Well, they do look pretty sturdy."
>You wait a few more hours, giving Mint Julep as much rest as possible before reluctantly shaking her awake. She wraps her hooves around your neck gently.
>"I'm happy you didn't die."
>You hug her back.
>It doesn't take long for your party to reach a small hollow near the minehead. You are luckily able to avoid encounters with any more monsters or the Reavarii - any confrontation risks raising the alarm.

>"Is there anything we should be doing while you..." Rarity searches for the right word "... *procure* our transportation?"
>"Just don't die."

>"You did your part at the bridge, Paladin," Mercury Flare tells you. "Now let me do mine."
>Existential Dredd says not, just drawing her knife and disappearing into the shadows.
>>
>>21318011

>The two of them sneak through the dark paths, past the many Reavarii occupied loading oar into the cart-machines. Every few minutes, some pony slaves push mine carts into the cavern, dumping the ore for sorting. There are a few close calls, some of the hooded figures looking in the bard's direction.
>Existential Dredd grimaces with every noise and blunder Mercury Flare makes, but the two eventually make their way to an unattended vehicle. They hop into the cab, the assassin looking on in wonder as her companion flips several switches and grips the wheel.
>The roar of the engine echoes throughout the cavern, hooded figures look up in surprise.
>"Hang on, Dredd," Mercury Flare yells over the noise. "This is going to get fun."

>The machine lurches into action as some of the Reavarii move to intercept. Others block off the exits to the cavern.
>"That's right, assholes, bunch up for me." Mercury Flare slams the gearshift into drive and the vehicle speeds ahead.
>No one that survives this day will know just what was loudest - the roar of the engine, the screams of the assassin, or the maniacal laughter of the driver. Even the Reavarii, beings who worship the darkest of horrors, will speak of this day in hushed whispers.
>As the vehicle powers ahead, Flare spins the wheel, causing it to skid - the side of it slamming into the Reavarii's line.
>Broken bodies go flying, survivors moaning in agony.

"Don't forget the +3 damage for Weapons Proficiency: Improvised Weapon."
>"Why would that apply?" Twilight asks, reaching for Applejack's untouched mug. "You're not drinking this, right?"
>"Naw, you go ahead."
"Well, show us the weapon stats for a truck."
>You gesture to the stack of rulebooks.
"I checked, but I couldn't find them listed *anywhere*"
>Twilight looks at you and sighs. You can't tell if she's happy with you or... not.

>The sounds of the Reavarii's suffering cease.

>Mercury Flare spins the wheel again, getting the skidding vehicle back under control.
>"Anyone in particular that's pissing you off?" she asks Existential Dredd. "They're starting to close in on us, but I think we have time for one more pass."
>"Um..." the assassin leans out of the cab, looking around. "That one over there." she points to a hunched Reavarii facing away from you, the only one that hasn't moved. "That little shit over there. He's not taking us seriously."
>"Hell yeah!" Mercury Flare throws the machine into a higher gear and cackling. It eats up the distance in seconds, slamming into the the Reavarii and turning him into a fine pink mist.

>"What the fuck just happened to that fucker?" Dash asks, eyes wide.
>"He was deaf," Twilight explains. "You caught him unaware."
>"Aaaaaaand?" Rainbow Dash continues to stare at her expectantly.
>"And I assumed," Twilight grins, "that you were going to demand the triple damage from backstabbing him."
>"Did I just backstab someone with a *truck*?" You didn't think Aredee's eyes could get any wider, but they do. "I just backstabbed someone with a truck!" She turns to Applejack, hoof held out. "BROHOOF!"

>Cackling wildly, Mercury Flare turns the wheel again, swinging the machine around. Reavarii from all over the cavern were beginning to surround them, and the open cab offered scant protection. Time to get out of here.
>The vehicle breaks through the Reavarii lines one last time. Some manage to throw themselves aside, most do not. It picks up speed, roaring down... the mineshaft?

>"Was that the plan?" Rarity's eyes are wide. "That was not the plan."
>"I came up with a better plan," Rainbow Dash answers proudly.
>"Is this going to be like your last few plans?" Applejack's eyes narrow. "Remember, this time you're dragging my character to her death too."
>"No, this plan is great! There's still way too many of them for us to fight." Dash looks to Twilight Sparkle. "Right?"
>"You can always fight them. As for surviving... well, that's not for me to say..." she looks to the map, counting the number of minis still standing. "But I'd say there's still about fifty that are fit to fight."
"And how many slaves are down in the mines?"
>You think you know where Aredee is going with this.
>"You don't know - Existential Dredd didn't go down there."
>"But did I see enough to make a guess?" Applejack asks, picking up a d20.
>"Um. Maybe. Let me check." Twilight flips through the last few pages of her notebook. "Roll."
>AJ flings the dice, everyone staring expectantly as it tumbles across the table. Fourteen.
>"Well, that's a success, though just barely. I'd say you've seen enough to make a guess." Twilight shrugs. "About 200, give or take."
>"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash shoves her things into her bags. "Time to end it for the night!"
>"Are you sure?" Twilight hesitatingly asks. She looks like she is ready to throw everyone out, but... "You never want to stop playing."
>"I need to think about things," Dash explains. "I need to make... plans."

You hope there are pony therapists, because you are going to need one after tonight. Maybe two. Shit, let's just hire all of them.

>"Okay then, tomorrow," she surrenders to their pressure. "Are you going to help me clean up again, Anon?"
"Yeah, just let me say goodnight to everyone..."
>You follow your friends outside, giving Rarity a polite hug and Rainbow Dash a high... hoof? Applejack simple tips her hat and trots off, but you grab Pinkie Pie's tail before she can bounce away.
"Hey Pinko Pride, what was up with those cupcakes?"
>"Oh, those? I saw the box in the trash." She blinks up at you. "Rainbow Dash told me she ate one, so I thought you might need replacements." She bounces up, booping your nose with hers. "Besides, you bought the wrong ones, silly!"
"How did you know I needed two?"
>She rolls her eyes at you.
>"Well of *course* you need two," she explains. "One for Twilight Sparkle, and one to give up for her."
>She giggles and bounces free of your grip.
"Wait! How did you know I needed them for..."
>Your words trail off as Pinkie disappears. Those aren't really words you want to shout across all of Ponyville.
>With a sigh, you head back inside. Twilight hasn't moved from the table - she's staring at the leftover cookies hungrily.
"You haven't had anything to eat all day, have you...?"
>"Just the cupcakes." She pokes a cookie with one hoof. "But I just don't like these cookies. I don't know why Pinkie Pie brought these ones - she knows I hate them." She see's your doubtful look. "Well, not *hate*..."
"Want me to cook you something?"
>Her eyes light up at your offer.
>"That would be great! With Spike gone, I just haven't had time..."
>Ah, right. You doubt that she has had a home cooked meal the entire time Spike has been away.
"Sure thing."
>You ruffle her mane, making her giggle.
"Whatcha want?"
>"Breakfast!" she calls after you as you walk into the kitchen.

That was my first thought, too. Sadly, Twilight is almost out of groceries, and no one is open this time of night. Also, I have plans for waffles.

>>21319864

>You crack open her refrigerator and take a look. Hmm... eggs, butter, some fruit. There really isn't much in here. Spike must do most of the grocery shopping in addition to the cooking.
>You'll have to see about picking some food up tomorrow - the dragon won't be back for a while and someone has to see to the princess's needs. Poor girl - mare? - can barely take care of herself.
>Lots of spices, though. Looooots of spices.
>You need to make something quick and easy - you're pretty tired, she's famished. Scrabbled eggs it is. You throw some butter into the frying pan, and while it's getting up to temp hunt down some bread. Into the toaster they go. You swirl the butter around in the pan and crack a few eggs into it, adding rosemary and a touch of salt. It doesn't take long for them to cook - less time than you thought, actually. That's fine, a bit more butter takes care of the dryness.
>You turn the heat down, just enough to keep them warm while the toast finishes. While waiting, you pull out an orange, splitting it into its separate wedges. Hrm. You've got orange, yellow and brown food... need something red...
>Cranberry juice.
>You pour two glasses.
>Bam! Toast is done. You throw everything onto plates and bring them out to your princess.

>Twilight has cleaned off the table while you were cooking - you put her plate in front of her, sitting down opposite her.
>"Thank you, Anon," she smiles at you, and shoves her plate across the table. She grabs her glass of juice and slides around the table until she bumps into you. "I was so busy these past few days... particularly since I've had to reschedule things for these game nights."
>She rests her head against your shoulder.
>"Still, it's been worth it. We've been having so much fun." She smiles up at you. "Thank you."

I feel the same way. I'm fairly positive that our writefag is actually a DM. Judging by this:

>Twilight is almost out of groceries

It seems he's already built a world for himself to work with and it's just a matter of putting it all into text. The average writefag does not do this.

Writefagging continues in about an hour, but first I seek anon's advice. I need two non-mane-6/princess/CMC characters for tonight's green. One will be Anon's friend, the other... I don't know what purpose they will serve yet. Just that I need them. Leaning towards Lyra for the friend, but open to suggestions for both. Who would anon like to see?

>lyra

She's used too much, imo. just pick two random background ponies and give them a personality loosely based on whatever episode they were in.
>>
>>21328004

zacora and trixie. trixie was already talked about, and zacora would be a cool friend for anon when he wants to get away from all the ponyville nonsense.

>>21328004
Grumpy Cherry Berry or perhaps Berry Punch. Maybe Carrot Top, she doesn't get enough love.

>Ugh... straight in the eyes. You raise your hand to ward off the devilish sunbeam that woke you. Is that... are those... do you smell food?
>You sit up, clutching your head. Oh, you're still at Twilight's place. On the couch. Not even dating, and you had to stay at her place and sleep on the couch because you pissed her off.
>Maybe? You don't really remember anything after eating.
>You stand on wobbly legs - they're feeling rather weak this morning, like you slept on them wrong. But there was plenty of room to spread out on the couch...
>Eh, whatever. Time to investigate that smell. You stubble towards the kitchen.
>"Nope!" you hear Twilight call out from there. "Go sit back down."
>Well, it's not like your legs want to work anyway. You shuffle back, flopping down on the couch.
>Huh, it's earlier than you thought. The clock shows it's still mid-morning.

I want to say that Berry Punch was already brought up in the story. Something along the lines of her, Anon, incredible amounts of alcohol and a huge mess. Seems like it'd fit in just fine.

>Is Spike back? It can't be Twilight cooking in there, can it?
>Out trots your little princess, carrying along two plates of waffles with her magic.
>"You did good last night," she says, smiling at you. "You get waffles."
"Did you make those yourself?"
>She couldn't have.
>"Of course? Who else would it have been?"
>She throws herself onto the couch, though it would probably be more accurate to say your lap. It just happens to be on the couch.
>You realize with a shock why your legs feel like you slept on them - someone did, it just wasn't you.
>Twilight drags the table closer with her magic, setting down the two plates on it.
>She looks up to you, seeing the shocked expression on your face.
>"Oh, sorry..." she looks away quickly. "We didn't quite make it up to the bedroom last night."
>You don't know what to say, so you fill your mouth with waffle before anything stupid comes out.

>"I think we were both just too tired to climb all those stairs," she continues, "when there's a perfectly good couch right here." She daintily takes a bit of her waffle. Hesitatingly. Like she's just doing something to fill time until you finally respond to her.
"So... we just fell asleep on the couch...?"
>"Of course, what else would we -" she suddenly goes silent.
"WE WERE JUST TIRED."
>"YES, JUST TIRED."
>She tries to shove a whole waffle in her mouth and failing spectacularly.
>You can't help but laugh as she tries to hide her embarrassment behind waffles. Her cheeks glow crimson - laughing at it just makes it worse. Twilight slides off your lap, studying her now empty plate like it is a new book.
>You grab her around her shoulders, pulling her back against you. She doesn't resist, falling against you like a dead weight.
>"I didn't know it was possible to die from embarrassment, but I think I just did."
"But you're still al-"

"These waffles are great."
>Another bite.
"I wouldn't mind having more."
>"We're all out of batter," she mumbles into your chest.
"Not now, of course. There's no way I can eat when my princess has just died."
>You give her a little squeeze.
"Tomorrow morning would be fine."
>"I'll still be dead tomorrow."
"Then I'll have to go on a quest to bring you back."

"I swear, my princess, I shall bring you back, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid."
>You ball your free hand into a fist, thrusting it skyward.
"No one, not even the gods, shall bar my path!"
>You scream your words into the ceiling, holding that pose for long seconds.
"And if that fails, then I shall just have to follow you."
>She pulls back from your soft words, gasping in horror.
>"You wouldn't!"
"And leave you all alone?"
>You cup her face with one hand.
"What do you think?"
>"I... I..."
"I think we need to go grocery shopping."
>"I... okay." She willingly accepts this change of topic without hesitation. Much better than trying to bring closure to anything else you've spoken of this morning.
>"I'll go make a list..." She quickly slips out of your grasp, all but running into the kitchen with a pen and scroll of paper.

>As she rummages around the kitchen, making a list of everything she could possibly need - strike that - a list of everything, you try to straighten out your clothes. Ponies may not wear them often, but they can certainly tell when they've been slept in.
>You should at least try to be presentable. Don't want to start any rumors.
>With a sudden burning in your face, you realize that your clothes would have been much neater if you *hadn't* slept in them.

>Huh? What cid - oh that cider.
"Um... I don't remember..."
>"We should try to get more of it if you do," she says, making more notes on the list. "It tasted like sh-fine. It tasted fine. But it got me through the night and I didn't have a hangover."
>She beams a smile in your direction.
>"Please try to remember."
>Crap, you'll need to tell her the truth soon.
>She disappears back into the kitchen. Feeling rather useless, you look for something to do. The plates from last night are still on the table, along with your new ones - time to do some dishes, you guess.

>When Twilight is ready to go, she's *ready to go*.
"Hey, how about leaving me with a little dignity?"
>You flail wildly, trying to grab hold of anything.
>"What?" She turns, seeing you hovering behind her in mid-air. "Oh, sorry."
>Praise the dark gods, she lets you walk outside under your own power.

"So, what does Luna think about how she's depicted in Burrows and Basilisks?"
>"Huh? Oh..." Twilight has to think for a bit before she can answer you. "It's never come up. I mean, it *is* just a game, Anon."
>You shrug, didn't really expect an answer anyway.
>"But Celestia did tell me something once," Twilight continues, "when she caught me reading one of the novels when I should have been studying."
>She smiles guiltily.
>"She says it's the most accurate depiction of her sister written during the exile. I mean... for the longest time, Luna was just a legend to us - the Mare in the Moon."
>She lapses into silence as you ponder this.
"So, who wrote the background for the game?"
>Twilight never forgets an author, so it's one heck of a surprise when she simply shrugs. That gets you thinking.
"I bet Celestia wrote it."
>Twilight stares at you, eyes wide.
>"She *did* seem amused when she caught me with that novel..." She stops walking, deep in thought. "Actually, that explains so much..."
>Oh crap, you know that look. Twilight is about to run off and do *research*.
"We're going shopping, remember?"
>That almost shakes her out of it, but she still looks uncertain.

>The market is busier than you expected - you forgot it's the weekend. Honestly, the days blur together when you have no set schedule.
>Still, it's not bad - not with Twilight here. Most ponies quickly make way for her, and you're able to follow in her wake.
>You simply follow her from stall to stall as she piles more and more items into your waiting arms, letting your mind wander.
>"Oh hey there, Anon!"
>You look down to see a pinkish pony at your side. Of course, she always corrects you, but you can never remember the color. Cerise, maybe?
"Heya Cheerilee, what's going on?"
>"Oh, not much, just doing a little shopping." A little? Those saddlebags are bulging. "Planning to make some snacks for the game next week."

>There are only a few items left on her list, you know that much, but not which vendors she was planning to get them from. While the market isn't that large, you do know that you won't find her if she doesn't want you to.

"I don't see cider on here."
>"What? I'm sure..." she looks over the list again.
"Nope, not on the list. You'll have to get it next time."

Needless to say a lot of people were pissed off at the cliche and rushed ending, including myself. To the point where people started recotting the ending. I stopped paying attention after that. I feel bad for even wasting my time reading it.

I think I've been successfully threatened out of the murder/suicide gag ending, and I'm actually pretty close to my end goal. Everything is set up now - just have to bring things to their proper conclusions. Two, maybe three more days and it'll be done. This was a slow night because Rarity was right - once the game picks back up, there are no breaks.

This story might end, but their story certainly won't. I have to bring Fluttershy and Spike back in at some point, and it would be nice to see Twilight playing a character. Also, there's Anon's other gaming group Cheerilee, Lyra, Trixie, and Berry Punch. Would love to see Fluttershy trying to RP a Space Marine in Deathwatch, so Anon might have the PDFs for that on his iPad. Also Filly Magi Scootaloo Magica.

I always imagine everything taking place in the treehouse instead of the castle. I know the treebrary well and we only got a peek of the throne room from the new castle, other than that we know fuck all how it looks.
And of course because the tree was infinitely better and has all the sweet memories tied to it and now I made myself sad.

>Not that you're one of *those* people, it's just human nature. Though you shouldn't say "human" nature, since you've noticed the exact same trend in ponies.
>Not Twilight, though.
>What is she reading...? That isn't one of the books she bought today, is it? No, obviously not. Even from the doorway, you can see the signs of heavy wear - this book has been read many times.

>She puts her hoof on the book, pushing it slightly towards you. You look at it - it's one of the old Burrows and Basilisks novels. You've never read any of them - you're sure they are perfectly decent books, but in general you would prefer to make your own story instead of reading someone else's.

"How many times have you read it...?"

"It's different, creating a story with another person."

"For later."

>She doesn't answer, just continues to smile. After a few minutes, she leans forward to retrieve the bowls - they're finally cool enough to hold. You set yours on the arm of the sofa, never loosening your grip on her as you eat. It's the best meal you have eaten since you arrived in Equestria.
>No, it's the best you've had in years.
>You set your empty bowl inside of hers, reaching out to set them back on the table. With a tug, you pull the blanket back into place over the both of you.
"Thank you, Twilight."
>You hold her tightly with both arms.

"We still have an hour before our friends arrive. Did you want to read that book?"
>"No."
>Good, neither did you.
>"Was there something else you wanted to do?"
"No."
>You're glad there's no fireplace in this room now - it would be too warm with a fire and Twilight pressed up against you.
>And if you had to choose between a fire and Twilight, well...
>You know which one feels best.
>She doesn't move, except for her soft regular breaths. You'd almost swear she was asleep, except for her smile.

>Twilight doesn't argue as you squeeze her tighter. There's plenty of time... a whole... you glance over to the clock.
>Oh crap, they should be here by now. Reluctantly, you give one last squeeze and slide your arms free.
>She looks disappointed - normally she's overjoyed when you agree with her, but not this time. Twilight pulls herself from your lap, taking the empty bowls into her kitchen.
>Without her, the once-comfortable couch and blanket are worthless, you cast them aside, pushing the table back to its customary place. You pile the books and other gaming supplies on it slowly - over the past couple of days it's accumulated quite the clutter of assorted books and references.
>This room is starting to remind you of your place... back home. Not the shack you live in now. It's not like Twilight to be so messy...
>She returns, catching you trying to put away some of the excess books
>"No, leave them," she shakes her head gently. "We might need them again."

>You hear a loud hammering on the door - Twilight jumps in surprise and looks to you.
"I'll go let them in - go ahead and get your notebooks."
>She bolts up the stairs as you head to the front door - odd that they didn't just let themselves in.
>You can hear Rainbow Dash loudly complaining before you reach the door, and what sounds like Rarity's voice, though you cannot make out any words. Seems like some of your friends have arrived at the same time.
>All of them, you realize as you throw open the door to reveal four ponies.
>"- and did you really have to drag us -" Applejack turns from Pinkie Pie as you open the door, cutting herself off mid-sentence. "Heya, Anon. Sorry we're so late, but *this* one -" she flips her head back, gesturing to the pink mare "- just had to take us all on some field trip."
>"But of *course*-" Rainbow Dash interrupts "- she forgot where we were going halfway there!"
>"And by then, we were *so* lost, it took half an hour at least to get back," finishes Rarity.
>"Oopsie!" Pinkie Pie bounces inside, giggling. The others look to each other, sigh, and follow.
"Well, I'm glad you're all here now."
>Rarity dips her head in acknowledgement.
>"And I as well. I just cannot wait to see what tonight has in store."
"Yes, it should prove... interesting."
>"Interesting? Tonight is going to be AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash leaps into the air - you can almost see fireworks and rainbows exploding behind her like the special effects in a cheesy music video. Her face grows serious and she raises a hoof like a fist. "I have an *army*. We're gonna *crush* them." She slams her hoof into the floor for emphasis. "Now let's get this ADVENTURE on the road!"

>Twilight has finished getting everything ready - your friends are gathered around the table, just waiting for you.
"So, where were we?"
>You sit yourself down on the floor, digging your character sheet out from the pages of your notebook.
>"Waiting for *that* one -" Rarity gestures over to Rainbow Dash "- to get us all killed again." While the words are harsh, her tone is not.
>"I'm not going to get us all killed *again*!" Dash argues back. "Not all of us." Her eyes shift from side to side. "Probably."
>"Well, if that doesn't sound like overwhelming confidence, I don't know what does," Twilight comments. "I hope you put a little more work into your roleplaying..."
>"Oh hells yeah."

>"YOU ARE SLAVES NO LONGER!" Mercury Flare calls out, slamming her rapier through one of the remaining Reavarii, the Ponies and Darkin slaves overwhelming the rest with sheer numbers and mining tools.
>One runs, attempting to escape the slaughter. Existential Dredd seperates from the shadows, forelimb slipping around the cultists neck in a cruel embrace. She rears back, knife streaming blood from the tear in the Reavarii's neck, splattering the floor and far wall. It takes two hesitant steps, shudders... and collapses.
>The slaves look around in confusion. Some move to run deeper into the mines, to avoid the retaliation they believe will come. Others talk quietly, speaking of running free, to escape this place altogether. A handful pick up the slain cultists weapons with grim determination.
>"You *can* escape this place," Mercury Flare's voice is quiet, yet heard throughout the cavern. "My companions and I have cleared a path for you."
>A few move to run, but the bard holds up one hoof - she's not done.
>"No one will blame you - running from this place. Enjoy your peace while you have it. We will fight to protect you, and we will die, ascending to the night sky to live on at the Moon's side."

>"Every night, until the end comes - and it *will* come if we fail here - you can look up to the stars and know that we fight for you still. Every pinpoint of light is a mortal soul that died in Her name, fighting against the return of darkness."
>Her already quiet voice drops lower, forcing the freed slaves to gather around closer to hear her words.
>"And we will join them if need be."
>She pauses for a second, a look of infinite sadness on her face.
>"But the stars are many - and though the darkness of night still comes, they light the way. And we -" Existential Dredd steps up beside her "- we are few."
>Another pause.
>"And as dark as the night is, this place is darker still. I do not know we can overcome it alone."
>Mercury Flare's voice is barely a whisper now.
>"We have found where your families are held, but many stand against us. I will fight to rescue them, but I cannot do it on my own." She looks to them, to each and every soul. "I ask you, free Ponies and Darkin," she pleads, "will you help me carry the torch of hope in this dark place?"

>A silvery pegasus with shredded wings looks around for a moment. "There is no place we can go to escape this evil," he says softly. He nods to Mercury Flare. "If I must die somewhere, let it be here, so that I can fly in the night sky once again."
>Mercury Flare places a comforting hoof on his shoulder.
>"There is a priestess with us, above. She can heal your wings."
>The stallion shakes his head.
>"No. My mate is dead, my children are dead. My heart can never soar again until I am with them."
>"The sky has enough stars," an Earth Pony stallion steps forward, stamping on the neck of a dead Reavarii, shattering the bone. "I can't even count them all." He nods to the bard. "I fight so that others may live." He dips his head, picking up the cultist's knife in his mouth.

>A few hold doubts, but Mercury Flare waves off the others why try to convince them to stay.
>"I will not drag the unwilling to their deaths," she says, even as Dredd tries to intimidate the holdouts. "Would you take a broken sword into battle?"
>"No," the assassin answers reluctantly.
>"Then why would you take a broken soul?"
>The assassin nods in acceptance.
>"Follow behind us and run when we attack," Dredd instructs the holdouts. "The Reavarii will be focused on us. It will be your best chance to escape."
>Mercury Flare smiles at her companion's understanding.
>"Now come," she addresses her army. "Your families are waiting."

"Was that from General Firefly?"

>"Well, it looks like..." Twilight consults her notes "... you have about 150 mostly able-bodied followers. Only 30 have weapons, though."
>Dash frowns at that.
>"They aren't coming after us, right?"
>Twilight looks to Applejack, who flings the closest d20 across the table.
>"Existential Dredd doesn't here any sounds in the tunnels," Twilight tells the group after checking the roll, "though the minehead is too far away."
"I bet that's where they are. They've probably called in reinforcements."
>You hold up a d20.
"Tactics check?"
>Twilight nods, and you cast the die.
>"Between your *exceptional* knowledge of Reavarii tactics -"
>Fuck yeah, natural 20.
>"- and Existential Dredd's map, you're able to predict their battle plan." Twilight lays out the cavern map again, putting around the map to represent groups of cultists. She digs deep into the minis box. "Oh, it's got to be here somewhere..." you hear her mumble. "Ah!"
>Your princess holds up a PC paladin model and places it on the map.
>"You also suspect that they have called in reinforcments - something more powerful than standard cultists."
>"A paladin?" Applejack asks, eying the model.
>"No," Twilight answers. "It's just a representation of something more powerful than a cultist."
>"So what is it?" Pinkie Pie bounces up to ask.
>"A surprise."
>"I LOVE SURPRISES!"
>Applejack frowns at that.
>"Ahm not sure we're gonna like this surprise."

>Dash looks over the map, thinking for a second.
>"I have a plan."
>"To be fair, her last plan worked out fairly well," Rarity points out, preempting the others' objections.

>"When we emerge from the tunnels, my companions will attack from the opposite side, moving left to draw the enemy away," Mercury Flare instructs her soldiers. "We will move right, towards their supplies. There you will be able to arm yourselves."
>She begins to draw a map on the hard-packed soil.
>"We will continue to move, surrounding the enemy, drawing our circle tighter and tighter, until we are able to focus our entire force on the outnumbered foe."

>You stare incredulously at the diagram Rainbow Dash drew.
"Spiral power?"
>"What?"
"You're just reminding me of something..."

"We will have to draw them away from their supplies if Mercury Flare's slave revolt is to have any success."
>You point to several parts of the map.
"Unfortunately, we will be heavily outnumbered, and probably facing something much stronger than we have so far. Priestess -" Mint Julep looks up from the map, eyes wide "- what magic have you that will preserve us?"
>She thinks about it for a second.
>"The Lingering Warmth of the sun will keep us from dying for a short time," she says slowly. "Once the odds turn against us, hopefully it can keep us alive long enough for the bard's army to come into play."

>"THE JUDGEMENT OF THE MOON IS UPON YOU, EVIL DOERS!"
>Wait, what...?

>Twilight Sparkle grabs up the Reavarii models, moving them around the map.
>"Sorry, but your prediction was wrong," she says to you apologetically.
>"But he rolled a 20!" Dash waves her forelimbs wildly. "What the hell?"
>"Sorry..." Twilight says again. "So did I..."
>"Ah shit..." Applejack half-stands, staring at the paladin model. "Anon, think Paladin can put eyes on that guy?"

>At the entrance to the mine, you see a shade - the twisted and enslaved soul of a once noble soul now bound by the Lich's will. To your surprise, you recognize it as one of your order.

>"Yup, it's mah last character," Applejack says, head in hoof. "Damn, she has Advanced Tactics."
"That explains why nothing was were I thought it would be."

You see Mercury Flare desperately trying to rally them, to pull back, to do anything, only to be outmaneuvered by the shade's minions. You see Existential Dredd, leap from nowhere to strike the Shade down, only to be battered aside, rescued from certain death at the last minute by an Earth Pony stallion who drags her unconscious body back into the mines.

>"Because normally I'm the one playin' 'em," she answers, frowning.

Rarity's eyes hold a wild panicked look of utter desperation as she frantically looks over the map, trying to find something - anything - that could turn the tide.

>Some of the freed slaves try to break - they try to run, spending their own fellows' lives to cover their escape. Fifty still fight, attempting to cover the flight of twice their number.
>Cowards.
>You fling back the cultists attacking you and thrust your sword skyward.
"RALLY TO ME, BROTHERS."
>The sound catches their attention, though it does not stir their hearts.
"Every man - every pony - dies."
>You stand strong, never allowing your blade to fall, fending off attacks with only your armored fist.
"What we must do is strive to make our deaths meaningful!"
>You catch one of the Reavarii as it leaps at you, crushing it's throat with your hand and casting the corpse aside.
"And there is no greater purpose than service to the Celestial Guardians!"
>You slap aside a sword with the flat of your palm, redirecting it into another Reavarii.
"Every soul that perishes serving the Moon becomes a bright star in the night sky!"
>You jump back quickly, evading a jabbing spear.
"The braver the death the brighter the star!"
>Another spear grazes your cheek, almost tearing your hood from your head.
"Ponies, Darkin - have you ever tried to count the stars? The legacy of untold thousands who have served shines down from the heavens, standing by our Moon in her struggle against the Darkness!"
>You grasp the haft of the spear with your free hand and snap it, driving the splintered end back into the wielder's face.
"Would you rather die running, with the empty Void waiting for you? OR WILL YOU STAND BY ME?"
>The shade has moved to face you directly, shouldering aside her minions. Her sword flashes out, catching your upraised limb.
>It never waivers, still holding up the moon-forged steel as blood runs freely from your arm.
>You catch the next swing with your other hand, holding the blade with your steel-banded fist.
"IF WE DIE THIS DAY, LET IT BE WITH THE MOON WAITING FOR US WITH OPEN ARMS!"
>You twist your hand, wrenching the sword from the shade's grasp.

>As you speak, your companions and the remnants of Mercury Flare's forces converge on you, forming up on your unflinching blade. Reinforcements trickle in as the fleeing slaves find their courage in ones and twos, flooding in at the death of the shade.
>You fight your way to the mineshaft, find yourself fighting side-by-side with a crippled Pegasus, his silvery coat torn and shredded.
>He stands over the limp body of Mercury Flare, his blood mingling with hers on the cavern floor.
>You parry a blade as it slashes out at his neck - his reactions too slow to save himself. Your counterattack splits the Reavarii all but in two. Still, out of the corner of your eye, you see the pegasus stumble, falling to his knees.
>>
>>21356104

>As he collapses entirely, you see the broken spear shaft lodged in his side. He pushes your hand aside as you reach to help him. Somehow, he manages to force himself back on his feet, lashing out and catching another Reavarii in the head. The cultist crumples, dropping the blade it had tried to strike the bard with.
>You finish it off before it can recover.
"Mint Julep!"
>You can see her, she's close. Only two body lengths away in the scrum. Durararog is with her and hears your call. With one swing, she splits a cultist in half, crunching through the spine with her mighty blow. She grabs the priestess and drags her away from her opponent, shoving her towards you.
>"GO! Paladin needs you!"
>She finishes off Mint Julep's opponent with her next swing, smashing the Reavarii's skull with the haft of her axe.
>>
>>21356268

>Another tries to intercept the priestess, only two go down under two Darkin, savagely hacking at the cultist with captured blades. It dies helpless, but it does not die slow. You almost regret not ending its suffering.
>"Oh my Sun..." Mint Julep reacts in horror to the pegasus' injuries, not knowing where to begin. Not that he lets her, shoving aside her hooves every time she tries.
>"Take care of *her*!" he angrily yells, pointing to Mercury Flare.
>Another blow catches him in the leg, he finally falls, unable to hold himself up any longer. Mint Julep tries to take advantage of his injury, but you shove yourself between them.
"He has made his choice, priestess. Let his star burn bright."
>She turns back to the bard, body wracked with tears.
>The Sun will never understand.
>She is always too merciful.
>Another spear pierces the pegasus's body, thrust through his neck, his last act to crush his killer's skull.
>May his soul shine forever in the night sky.

>Mercury Flare's eyes flutter open and she reaches around, trying to find her rapier. You pick it up from the ground, pressing it into her hand.
>"No, wait!" Mint Julep tries to hold down the bard, "You're in no condition to fight!"
>Mercury Flare shoves her aside - gently, but firmly.
>"Neither was he," she says with a tear in her eye.

>"It's just mop-up now Pinkie, I'll try to be careful."

>The bard launches into the closest Reavarii with reckless abandon, striking out as often with her hooves as her blade.

>"What? I only said I'd *try*!"

After the game Anon, should just carry Twi up to her bed and proceed to face to face cuddle her throughout the night, every now and then kissing her and altering between ear scratches and belly rubs to make her feel comfy. Then just about when he's about to fall asleep, tell her that he loves her and then proceed to bury his face in her mane/neck and drift off to sleep.

Added an article on MulpWiki:
http://mulpwiki.org/index.php/Twilight_Game_Night

I must say, I really like the story so far.
The are only two things that kind of killed the suspension of disbelief for me, one of which was Anon's general battle tactics.
He's displayed as someone who uses his knowledge of the game for maximum character efficiency, but at the same time the party lacked one essential thing: Consumables.
Imagine if Pinkie would have had a wand of healing with her when Anon was about to die, or maybe a scroll of an extremely powerful spell for when they were fighting the battle against AJ's shade.
Of course it wouldn't make for nearly as dramatic a story, and as I said, I like this story as it is, but in my opinion the story could potentionally be even better if it employed magic items.

The other thing that confused me a little was the HP scaling.
Throughout the story I was always wondering which level the PCs are at.
When Rainbow Dash got attacked and took 12 points of damage and everyone was like "Oh fuck!" I got the impression that they were at a fairly low level, but then in the same session Rainbow Dash tells Anon to just let her die and raise her after the battle, which would imply that they are at least level ten or something.

I'm talking from a D&D3.5 point of view, so it's also possible that my experience just doesn't convey to this story.

>>21362055
That's my own personal radical stance on game design - I dislike both consumables and stat/level scaling. You're right - I should have included them since they're the norm, but they break *my* suspension of disbelief. There's a reason I try to rip out the combat system of almost every RPG I play and replace it with Inquisitor. But since the game was established as a D&D ripoff in the OP before I started writefagging, I probably should have followed that.

>You grimace when you see the mugs lined up on the counter.
>"I found your 'cider' earlier," Twilight smiles at you, pouring apple juice into the mugs.
"Oh."
>"That's all you're going to say to me?" What's that look mean? "You lied to me!" Twilight rears up, shoving you back against counter. She pins you in place, one foreleg to each side of you, hooves resting on the edges of the counter.
"I..."
>She slams the side of her head into your torso.
"I'm... sorry..."
>"No, don't be." Her forelegs wrap around your waist. Hesitantly, you put a hand on her back, stroking down her spine, softly. Gently. "You only did it because you care about me."
>You smile down at her as she nuzzles against your body.
>"Nachos," she murmurs quietly. She looks up to you, eyes shimmering through her bangs. "Nachos?"
>You run your fingers through her mane, brushing the fringe out of her eyes.
>You want to see them clearly.
>"Nachos?" she asks again.
"Do we have the ingredients?"

"With the game! I mean with the game!"
>She reaches out with one hoof, patting your leg.
>"It's okay, Anon, I know what you meant." She seems to have recovered somewhat, at least her breathing is sounding back to normal. "I just prefer my interpretation."
>Your cheeks blaze with warmth as she turns the tables on you.
>As she stands, so do you. Twilight looks to the doorway - the first time in what seems like forever.
>"I really should check on them..." she says reluctantly. "Can you get the nachos started?"
>You nod, unwilling to trust your mouth to not make a fool of you.
>"Good." She beams up at you. "Let's see if you can make it a triple serving of waffles."
>Your face burns hotter.
>"I meant... you know..." she stumbles over the words in her haste to explain. "Nachos!" she finally shouts, echoed by Pinkie Pie's voice out in the gaming room.
"I know what you meant, my princess."
>She sighs in relief.
"I just prefer my interpretation.

>She quickly steps out of the kitchen before you can say - or do - anything else.

>"PINKIE PIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
>"Sitting!"
>"ON RAINBOW DASH!?"
>"Well, I only have two arms!"
>Oh, Pinkie Pie and her wacky hijinks. Their voices drop to the point you cannot make out distinct words, though you do hear Twilight and Pinkie Pie continue to argue. You smile as you pull some melting cheese, butter, and milk out of the refrigerator.

>You almost drop the jug of milk. Oh gods, you hope she wasn't talking to -
>"HELLO!" Pinkie Pie springs into the kitchen. "I'm here to help!"

>You don't even ask what she means, patting her head.
"Thanks Ponk."

"Think you can spread these out on those sheets? We're gonna have to heat them up in the oven."
>She stares at the baking sheets in wonder.
>"You make faaaaaaaaaaaaaancy nachos..." her head turns slowly to take in all of the ingredients you've accumulated, watching carefully as you dice up peppers and tomatoes.
>If you keep cooking here, you're going to have to see about having some counters added to match your height - all this bending over is going to ruin your back.
>With an overwhelming somber air, she pours out the chips on the baking sheets.
>"I'm really glad I picked you."

"No, why would you even think that?"

>Why does she always have to be the center of attention?
"Okay, fine. Why were you sitting on Rainbow Dash?"
>"Like I told Twillie, I ONLY HAVE TWO ARMS!"
>She waves them in your face, as if you doubted her.
"But why did you have to do that?"
>"Because she wanted to check on you two!" she answers, clawing at her face in horror. "I couldn't let her do that!"
>Wait, what?
>She opens up the oven, throwing the chips in.
>"I know everyone thinks I'm kinda maybe flaky sometimes, but I know when it's time to get serious!"

>Step one - get the nachos out to your friends.
>Step two - grab your bag.
>Step three - get someplace private and find out what she put in there.

Dude, whatever it is, it doesn't matter now.

Regardless of whether Ponk is being a bro or totally weird, whatever it is, it's safe in your bag until after the game.

Unless you want everyone to have a giggle when it rolls out of the bag

Anyway, it's not fuzzy handcuffs or a horn limiter. Twi keeps those with her vibrator in a locked box under the bed.

It's probably not horse condoms -- unless ponies don't actually have spells/potions for that. Though let's not get into whether you'd create a hybrid abomination or nothing would happen, nor how real horses can terminate a pregnancy at any time at will.

And it's not booze, Pinkie wouldn't do that to her alcoholic friend.

>You slide the bowl to the center of the table, giving Pinkie Pie another pat on the head. Everything she has done, she did to help her friends - you can't be mad at her for that. Even if you don't approve or understand.
>You look to your bag - it's still where you left it by the couch, untouched.
>It's... you look back to the pink mare... it's a problem for later.
>You lean over the table and snap your fingers in front of Rainbow Dash's face, causing her to jump.
"Hey, Aredee!"
>She glares at you for a second, before remembering that she's not mad at *you.*
"What do we do now?"
>Her eyes flash wide - you... you're putting her in charge?
>Applejacks eyes flash wide - you're putting Rainbow Dash in charge?
>Rarity nods with calm acceptance.

"Exactly. Though let's not forget your contributions, Rarity."

"So team, what now?"
>You sit down on the floor at your spot, idly fiddling with your mini.
"Applejack, the map if you would please..."

>Your party huddles around Existential Dredd's map, judging your next action.
>"Their families," Mercury Flare points to the area with the highest concentration of slaves. "That is where we should strike next."
"But some of them only stand with us because their families are at risk."
>You hate to play this role, but someone must.
"If we rescue them, then much of our army may find they have something to live for."
>"And abandon us," Durararog finishes your thought. "What a horrible thing to think."

>"And what happened to that 'a broken soul can be reforged' stuff!" Mercury Flare stomps in anger. "Was that just a lie?"
"No..."
>"I suggest you explain yourself." Existential Dredd looms ominously over you.

>"Seriously, Anon," Twilight frowns slightly at you. "That seems pretty out of character. Am I going to have to deduct XP?"

"If we rescue the families, our army fragments."
>"So?" the bard yells at you. "It's not their fight!"
"But it is. All of Creation fights against the Darkness."
>You shove the bard away, harder than necessary, drawing angry murmurs from her followers. Some who had minutes ago looked to you as a hero now stare daggers.
>"You insult those who fought at your side," one of the slaves steps forward. "Speak your next words carefully, paladin."
"It's not an insult, or a question of your bravery."
>You step back, to fully address the forces arrayed before you.

"- because of my heroic speech earlier?"
>She blinks twice in surprise, realizing just what she was about to say.
>"Right, the speech," she eventually blurts out.

"It is a matter of necessity!"
>Your words ring out through the cavern.
"Right now, hard though it is to believe, your families are in the safest place possible."
>"You've got a mighty *interesting* definition of 'safe'," the assassin grumbles, hoof on the hilt of her sword.
"Then what would you do?"
>Your words catch the assassin off guard.
"Rescue the families, and then what? Let our army fall apart, to fall prey one-by-one to the horrors of this place? We may have defeated a few, but you of all of us know just how dangerous this place is."
>You turn away from her, facing the army once more.
"Or would you bring them with us, dragging their families to almost certain death? Would you *arm* them?"
>You hiss the last words, as if their very sound is poison.
"Desperate though we are, I will not let children die for me."
>"Then we send them *all* away," Mercury Flare states with certainty. "If they stay together, surely they can escape this place."
"And we face the Lich alone?"
>"Yes," Durararog answers.
"And we die alone?"
>"If need be," Mint Julep replies.
>"Our bodies are the shields that protect the innocent," Existential Dredd recites the motto of your order.
"Then we are in agreement."

>"What!?" Rainbow Dash slams both forehooves on the table, making dice jump and miniatures dance. "Why couldn't you just tell us that to begin with!?"
"Because you would assume I had something up my sleeve -"
>"Because you always do," Rarity giggles.
"- and it's *your* army, Dash. I can't control them, only you can, so I needed you to arrive at that decision on your own."

"I trust you all with my life. But Paladin? He wasn't willing to risk the lives of all those people."
>"That's..." Twilight drifts off, trying to think of a reason to accept your argument and finding none. "... that's really not very convincing." She sighs. "I'm going to have to deduct XP," she tells you apologetically.
"That's fine - the lives of those people are worth it."
>"It's not like they're sure to die if they come with us," Rainbow Dash whines.
"Yes, it is."
>She leans forward to argue more, but Rarity lays a hoof on her shoulder.
>"He still has something up his sleeve, darling. Don't bother."

"Then we are in agreement."
>You point to the spot on the map where the slaves are held.
"We strike here next. We must come up with a plan to minimize loses - any deaths will endanger their successful escape later."
>"Cultists and lesser monsters we can handle," Durararog says, studying the cavern layout on the map, "but what about shades? One was enough to defeat two of our party and push us to the brink of defeat. If all of the defeated heroes were turned, there are fourteen left to face."
"Most of them probably guard the Lich - he is not yet truly free, or we would all be dead. At most, we will have to defeat one or two."
>"We will still face the rest," Mercury Flare corrects, "only later."
"Perhaps."
>Your companions ignore that - they know better than to waste breath asking.

"Hey, I think I'm going to start cleaning up a bit early, keep planning without me."
>"Oh, I'm sorry, are we *boring* you?"

>"You aren't... are you...I mean..." she babbles slightly, unsure what to ask you - or if she *should* ask you.
>You dry your hands and kneel down in front of her, bringing your head level with hers.
"What's wrong, Twilight?"
>"Are you mad at me for docking your XP?" the words finally come out. The concern in her eyes is wholly unwarranted for such a small thing.
"In the past, you've penalized me worse for less."

>You put a finger to her lips, silencing her.
"Everyone hates the DM's girlfriend - or boyfriend in this case - getting preferential treatment."
>Coltfriend? What is the proper term in a cross-species relationship?

>Why does this always complicate things?
>Some part of you wants to feel angry at Twilight - she TOLD you to do this, and now suddenly she doesn't want it? What the hell is she worried about? That you won't stick around after you beat her campaign?
>You promised not to leave her, you promised to solve everything, why doesn't she trust you?
>You want to be angry at her, but you can't. You just can't.
>Twilight is scared. She's scared that somehow she's going to lose you. Drive you away. Let you get away.
>You can't be angry at her for being scared, for caring about you. That's really all you've ever asked from life, for someone - somepony - who truly cares about you.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!"
>"Hey what?"
"Are we there yet?"
>Pinkie Pie looks to you, her head resting on the table. Her eyes growing wide with excitement, a smile slowly splitting her face.
>"No, we're still trying to find a way -"
"Are we there yet?"

A most glorious state in North America that requires companies to give employees at least one day off a week. So I've spent the day in my living room, because that's where I keep my gaming stuff and far too many bottles of rum.

>"Well, basically we're..." Dash looks to Rarity for help.
>"We are going to rush them," Rarity explains. "From every entrance."
"Doesn't sound particularly cunning, but I assume you have a good reason for that."
>She nods.
>"Indeed. We will have to tie up all of their forces at once, or they might start using their prisoners against us."
>"How?" Applejack asks. "Any way I could sneak in and get 'em out?"
>Rainbow Dash shakes her head as Rarity continues to talk.
>"There are just too many for you to successfully escape with, and -" she holds up a hoof as you begin to open your mouth "- and the tunnels leading there are far too narrow to bring in one of those driving machines."
>"I could at least try to get in an hold em off!"
>"No," Rarity looks at her sadly. "If something goes wrong, there is absolutely no way we could rescue you."

"Sounds like you've got it pretty well worked out. Where do you need me?"
>Rarity points to a group of militia models on the map.
"Well, we were going to have you lead this group..." you feel a but coming on "... but..." yep, there it was "... I am afraid our rolls were a little underwhelming and none of them trust you." She winches. "You *did* say some pretty awful things earlier..."
>You shrug. Had to be done.
>"So instead... we need Paladin to guard Mint Julep."
>Pinkie Pie energetically waves to you from across the table.
"Babysitter? I'm playing babysitter?"
>"She's almost out of spells," Dash explains. "Pretty much all she has left are a few healing spells, Lingering Warmth, and... whatever the hell that laser is."

>None of the priestess's remaining spells will be particularly helpful in the coming battle. Not in the crowded chaotic mess that Durararog plans to unleash on the Reavarii.
>No wonder Mint Julep needs a babysitter to protect her - the priestess gives too freely, with no thought to self preservation or future need.
>Just like the Sun, too merciful.
>And so as the Sun sets, the Moon shall rise to protect her.
>You draw your sword and stand ready to lay down your life for hers.

Being a cleric doesn't allow her to swap any uncast spell for a healing spell of an equal level?
>>
>>21372868
It does.
>>21273433
I just guess they're reasoning that they're not likely to be as helpful in a chaos where all the partymembers are seperated and the squishmage has to wade into a melee if she wants to patch anyone up? Or something like that, maybe?
>>
>>21372868
healing is best done outside of combat. Any turn not used to kill the enemy or resolve the encounter is a wasted turn.

Was going to do instead of the Twilight/Anon makeouts, but decided 1) there was something better to do, and 2) it really wasn't Anon's story to tell. He wouldn't betray a friend's confidence like that, even to Twilight. He might, however, show Twilight that she's been neglecting her subjects and letting them suffer. Berry Punch will feature in the first followup story.

Depends on the system, but I usually feel healing is best done out of combat, not that the rest of the party won't whine about it. Last game I played in (Deathwatch), I ran a Dark Angel Apothecary. First few sessions, my squadmates were constantly bitching about needing healing, but my character would just ignore them. Their characters weren't at negative wounds and had all six doses of painkillers left. My apothecary had a loaded boltgun in his hands and the Emperor's enemies to his fore - he stood tall and showed those chucklefuck pansy Space Wolves how it was done. I loved that character and hope to play him again someday.

>Your force splits up, Durararog, Existential Dredd, and Mercury Flare each leading a band of warriors down one of the lesser tunnels to other access points.
>You stay at the main tunnel to the cavern, sticking to the shadows, Mint Julep huddled close to you under your robes.
>At first, your companions had argued against it - you were too likely to be found - but a demonstration of your robes' power convinced them.
>If you did not want to be seen, you would not be.
>The two of you watched, close to the cavern's entrance. Waiting for the bard's signal.
>>
>>21374786
hell yes! thats early
>>
>>21374786
>Mint Julep huddled close to you under your robes.
Is that an earth pony in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
>>
>>21374786

>Your purpose - your purpose will be to serve as a distraction. At first you argued against it - this would put the priestess at risk - but your companions have faith in your skills and dedication.
>Mint Julep argued the strongest - more than willing to put her life on the line. But that wasn't why... no, she believes in you wholeheartedly.
>If only you were worthy of their trust.
>Long minutes pass.

>"Okay, so, we're all in place?"
>"Yep," Twilight answers Rainbow Dash flatly, without any enthusiasm.
>"Is there any sign that we have been noticed?" Rarity asks with concern.
>"Roll it." Twilight checks the result. "Nothing that you've noticed."
>You all breathe a sigh of relief.
>"Okay AJ," Rainbow Dash says to her friend, "Do your thing."

>Only by sheer chance do you see the form of Existential Dredd as she sneaks into the cavern, reconnoitering the cavern. Truth is, you don't actually see her, just the flapping hemline of her cloak.

>"So, Twilight - any sign of a shade?"
>"Roll it, Applejack."
>The Earth Pony frowns at her friend's attitude, rolling a d20 across the table. Twilight doesn't even peak over the DM screen to look at the result.
>"Eighteen," Applejack says forcefully. "Does Dredd see anything?"
>"No."
>>
>>21375366

>You do not see Existential Dredd return to her place, but she must have - for a ball of cold white light flares into life high in the cavern.

>"Never thought I'd find a use for illusion spells," Dash comments slyly. She nods to you. "Do your thing, Anon. This is going to be awesome!"

>You stride forth into the cavern, sword once more held high, Mint Julep following close behind you.
"THE JUDGEMENT OF THE MOON IS UPON YOU, EVILDOERS!"
>You hold that pose for a minute, ominous and terrifying.
>In truth, you are waiting for things to fall apart, but the Reavarii freeze, all according to plan.
>You point to the bard's illusion with your blade.
"You believe you can hide from Her sight deep underground, BUT SHE HAS GROWN TIRED OF WAITING!"
>The pickets and guards rush towards you while the others set aside their tasks to pick up weapons.
"COME, VILLAINS!"
>You swing your sword back, ready to strike.
"JUSTICE AWAITS!"

>"You've successfully drawn most of the Reavarii towards you, away from where the prisoners are kept." Twilight pushes the cultist minis towards Paladin's model. "Good luck," she adds wistfully.

>The priestess fidgets with barely controlled impulses behind you, eager yet unable to fight with her full power. She is managing to restrain herself, only lashing out with her staff at enemies that slip past your dancing blade.
>Not that many do.

>You try to limit yourself to defensive actions, only striking out offensively when the perfect opportunity to counterattack without risking yourself or the priestess arises.
>Cultists crowd around you, their own numbers hindering their attacks. As one winds up for a swing with his axe, you tease another forward into its path. The first cultist is unable to stop his heavy blade, momentum carrying it forward into his fellow.
>It does not kill the Reavarii... no, it's the priestess that does that.
>You can feel her dissatisfaction growing as you are forced to strike out more and more frequently - not to kill, but to cripple.
>Killing takes time you can ill afford to waste - every second your blade spends lodged in the enemy is a second it is not weaving a defensive web around you.
>Mint Julep tries to reach those you leave screaming and mangled, to ease their pain the only way she can.
>Too merciful. Even when killing, the Sun is too merciful.
>More than once, you have to put yourself at risk to block an attack that never should have been near her, if only she had stayed still.
>The enemy never touches you, but these are risks you should not have to take.
>As more and more of the Reavarii lay injured around you, you find yourself harder pressed than ever trying to defend Mint Julep.

"Seriously, Ponk, can you stop that?"
>"It's what my character would do," she answers with total sincerity. You sigh.
"Carry on then."

>Relief comes as your allies stream out of their hiding places, easily overwhelming the few cultists who had stayed at their posts.
>This eases the pressure on you, but only just, for now they no longer get in each others' way. As hard pressed as you are, your height easily allows you to see past your attackers. Your companions' forces striking down those guarding their loved ones, taking them on one at a time in overwhelming numbers.
>The time for guidance at an end, your companions leave them to their work. They engage the Reavarii streaming from you, a thin wall of flashing steel stopping the cultists from reaching their prisoners.
>Durararog takes the center, where her reach can claim the most space. Foes who dodge her swings frequently find their bodies moving further than intended - her magic granting them a little extra distance, a little extra momentum - taking them right into the waiting blades of Mercury Flare and Existential Dredd.
>They slowly advance, working their way towards you. Reavarii panic, trapped between your unbreachable defense and their relentless slaughter. They try to flee only to run directly into the fourth and final group of freed slaves - the group you were to lead originally. Without someone to lead them, Mercury Flare had chosen to split them up - not adding them to the other three parties, but standing as sentinels in the tunnels.
>In their headlong flight, the Reavarii only notice when their intestines slip from their bellies and limbs go flying.
>Unlike the priestess, these warriors are *not* merciful, taking out weeks - months - of helplessness and torment on their enemies.
>Mint Julep moves towards them, but you interpose your body.
"My purpose here and now is to protect you, priestess. I cannot let you do this."
>"I cannot stand by when there is suffering I can ease." She tries to push past you, but you grab her.
"Then direct your efforts towards those worthy of it."

>You point towards the prisoners, many suffering from ill-treatment and sickness.
"Use the last of your healing spells on them, but *only* your healing spells."

"You have to do this Ponk - don't convert Lingering Warmth or Midday Sun to power healing spells. We're going to need those for the final fight."
>"But I could heal so many..."
"I know, but remember that we are facing the Lich and probably fourteen shades."
>"You could always rest first," Twilight suggests to Pinkie Pie with a twinkle of hope in her eyes. It's the first bit of emotion you've seen in your princess since she left you in the kitchen.
>Pinkie Pie's ears perk up at her words and the Earth Pony leans forward, staring pleadingly at you.
>You shake your head.
"We just struck at two major strongpoints and they've already sent one shade to oppose us, remember?"
>Rarity puts a hoof on Pinkie Pie's withers, pulling her back.
>"Please do as he says," the unicorn tells her. "There is no chance our enemies will allow us to rest unmolested."
>"But wouldn't it be better to draw out the shades one by one?" Rainbow Dash asks, trying to formulate a new plan.
>"Naw," Applejack disagrees, "better we find them than they find us. And -" she looks to Twilight "- there's no guarantee they'd come at us one at a time."
>"Anon has a plan," Rarity adds. "We do not know what it is, but I believe in him."
"Please, Pinkie Pie."
>Your request tears at her heart.
>"I... I understand... but Mint Julep can't... she can't..."
>"Diplomacy test!" Rainbow Dash grabs the closest d20 from the table - Pinkie's d20, the stone one given to her by Maud. On instinct, Pinkie Pie tries to grab it back - even here in Equestria it is taboo to touch another's dice.
>"Important dice for important rolls!" Dash yells, flinging it at the table. "I roll to convince Mint Julep to not waste those spells!"
