Page 39 - Monologue Interruptus
Author Notes:
Most villains are threatening because they have yet to fully achieve their plan, but everyone wants to keep them from winning. Nightmare Moon, by comparison, apparently completes her goal within seconds of escaping from the moon. She just shows up and instantly claims victory.
Now headcanon, thanks.
Similar things tended to happen to the group I play with, although the scenarios don't involve ponies.
"We'll show you that dragons are inferior!" [gets punched by dragonborn party member for 1d4 and falls through a trapdoor]
But this imposes the question for teh night pony, is she rocking a few blackguard levels and looking to actually smite good or is she just just tossing the word smite out there in place of another synonym such as destroy or decimate?
Bleh. That sentence doesn't sound grammatically correct at all.
Supposedly.
This theory is not uncontested, however. Others believe the modern origin comes from Queen Victoria's England, where We was used to refer to the Queen and the royal household, on the assumption that no-one in the royal circle would dare disagree with their ruler.
In either case, other nobles began copying the trend as a way to make themselves seem more regal, and it's stuck around (albeit mostly as a joke these days) ever since.
On the plus side, she is quite humble and friendly.
'Go, heroes, overthrow the Sorceror Kings... if you can survive in this blasted ruin of a desert world.' It is a little Dark Sun, isn't it... (heh).
JMH
I say "the players" but I wasn't really included because I was the Pinkie Pie in that session. Lucky One is the best homebrew class.
In egophiliac's headcanon, NMM banished her into some purple void.
I know a few players like that. They're bros, and usually seasoned and helpful in a teamwork/everyone gets what they want sense, but they get really exasperated by some of the more action-focused and non-planning characters really easy. You gotta watch out as the nerves on those players start to shorten, though.
Sad thing is, even after NMM smites the guards, RD will still try to chase her if it follows the show). No self-preservation instinct whatsoever.
DM: While you're...
AJ: Yes.
Lyntermas called it.
If she had just hung out in Canterlot twilight would just be lugging around five useless stone orbs with no idea how to use them.
DM: "Twilight, lightning smites you for eight points of damage."
Twilight: "WHAT?!"
Although sometimes AJ goes a little poo-brain. Also Fluttershy has some latent aggressive impulses.
Oh god. Who the heck is driving this thing? Twitchlight Sparkle?
On Meth it is.
Meth: Not even once.
What's really impressive, though, is that they can go completely off their rockers despite D&D not having a sanity mechanic.
G3.5 Pinkie Pie
:(
Sanity is relative. The last thing you want to do is invent rules that railroad it... unless you *want* the PC's to have multiple backup characters ready.
That story is A)hilarious
and B) true to the source material for Lovecraft.
Plus, in D&D pre-fourth, resurrections aren't that hard to get.
*does it ALL the time*
TAUNT AND INTERRUPT ALL VILLAIN MONOLOGUE!!! (because we can)
Ponies starve to death.
NMM: Um...I see your point. Here's your Sun Goddess back, campain over.
