Sometimes you have to go out on a limb and make big mistakes before the solution becomes obvious. And that's okay.

Isnt this often the case of finding what you need just a smidge after you needed it?

To be fair, they are not ready for a swarm of Pinkie Pies.

That's an episode - err, session - of its own. Mostly noncombat, though arguably involving alignment challenges.

To be fair, Who wouldn't harbor the secret desire to murder the Bard after a while?

I give that fight scene an 8 out of 10.

Sometimes even a bad idea is fun once. I once ran a large scale battle where the players had to martial dozens of NPCs to defend 5 separate locations from simultaneous attack. They had players on several different maps in Roll20 communicating telepathically. I had to switch maps every time a new player's turn came up. It was epic, and huge, and took 4 sessions to finish. We all had a great time and agreed to never do it again :p

"Okay, we loot the bodies."

And don't forget the sweet, sweet, exp, this should be enough to level up, right?

Wait, there are still people that use XP for levelling? Really?

Unless you're doing a campaign path with set story checkpoints to level up to keep up with the pre-calculated encounters, it doesn't really matter when the players level up except that it should happen at a moderate pace. XP works just fine for that.

"You loot the bodies. When you're on a time limit to get back to Celestia with the Elements of Harmony."
"Yes!"
"........."

"Remember how I had us play Chainmail between sessions? Tonight you're gonna find out why."

No, no, this is correct. Swarm rules are godawful.
