In a couple games, such as Munchkin D20, there are bonuses for making the other players or the DM laugh.
I wonder if Pinkie's player has a "rim-shot" sound on her cell phone?

There's no way her player wouldn't have a whole soundboard ready at a moment's notice.
Including, I hope, the sound of a single cricket chirping.
But for Pinkie's joke, it just leave me coffin in silence for a better one.
Don't be tomb hard on her. She tried, and that's what counts.
Wait, if Garret rolled a 1 on his save, shouldn't he be affected by it?
4e doesn't work that way. All attacks are rolled against the defenses of the target first.
And given that she gets to try again instead of just applying the miss effects suggests that this is a failure by GM fiat and thus the power isn't expended :P

This is the point at which the pedant in me would normally point out that you can't use forced movement to drop someone off a ledge. But since I created this sequence it seems a little hypocritical to do so, so I won't :P

You totally can, it just has a Saving Throw to avoid. Unless that was changed again at some point.
The last Sage ruling I saw to that effect was that forced movement (including teleport) couldn't move the target into a 'dangerous' square (open space, pool of acid, middle of volcano, etc), which they acknowledged was more for fairness in organized play events than for any other reason. That's actually the reason Twilight hasn't used her one teleport power to simply drop Elusive off the balcony (something which I was pretty sure the player would try to do otherwise).
I'm not sure how that would apply to flying creatures, given that in 4e, flight was (for entirely silly reasons) considered an uber-powerful player-characters-must-never-have-it ability, but given that Fluttershy tends to forget she has wings, she probably counts as a non-flying creature for purposes of effects like that.

It's probably only changed for organized play events, then. It was pretty explicit in the rules -- you can move people into dangerous squares, but they get a save.
Also want to note that there's a *lot* of one-space push powers that don't have any effect unless you can push people into hazards, and a *lot* of one-space hazard-generators that don't have any effect unless you can force people into them. A ruling like that negates dozens of powers.
4e's errata process in general probably shortened its lifespan...
Riiiight... This is 4E. I was wondering what was going on with the action economy.
I have to admit I didn't consider what sort of action anything was (or initiative order) when I was putting the sequence together - I structured it like it might appear on the show, so there are mini-scenes that run from start to finish instead of being broken up by the turn sequence.
Maybe when it's all done I should post everything again in the order that I drew it, just so y'all can see the difference :)
