Page 596 - Dungeon Fearing

I had some thoughts on today’s page that would be kind of killing it if placed right under the comic, so I decided to write a blog post and put the mental barrier of clicking a link between you and my more writer-y thoughts.

DM: By this point, Rainbow Dash feels stronger and more energized than ever! While Applejack can actually feel herself getting weaker, more sluggish…
Rainbow Dash: Awesome! Unfair, but awesome!
Applejack: What in the hay is going on?! This is ruining the competition! No one’s gonna be excited if one competitor smashes the other! Rainbow Dash, did you pass notes with the DM or something to cheat?
Rainbow Dash: Oh man, I totally should’ve! I mean, uh, I’ve got wings and you don’t. That could be the reason. I think.
Rarity: Hmm… It seems to have been a slowly building effect, though… Adding a secret bonus to Dash’s checks and penalty to Applejack’s… But what’s the source?
Twilight Sparkle: …! Ohhhh crap. I roll Dungeoneering.
DM: BWAHAHAHAHA!
