Guest Author’s Note: “Diana’s move here of destroying the lights is extremely cool looking in animated form, and also absolutely useless. It was only in using this scene for the comic that I realized how very little it actually added to the plan. Diana destroys the torches, it shows Hank silhouetting, there’s a hard cut to Venger shooting magic that lights up the hallway at random, and then it’s another hard cut to the group with no indication that they’ve moved…aside from the fact that they’re in a brightly lit hallway again. I think this is probably just some sort of storyboard issue that got messed up in editing, but I still find it very funny how much effort went into a scene that ultimately does not matter. Especially since the splitting up/distraction also does not do anything. Venger automatically knows who to follow and where they went. It’s like a Scooby-Doo doorway chase, except at the end, the ghost has Shaggy and Scooby completely pinned.
Also, I have definitely been in Fluttershy’s (horse)shoes. Sometimes, the emotion of the scene just gets ya.”
Notice: Arint’s Last Day, an expansion mod I’ve been making for the deckbuilding roguelike RPG Griftlands, is coming out soon! If you enjoy my writing, you might like it!
Teaser Trailer
Fluttershy: I’m so sorry, Twilight. I’m not sure what came over me.
Rainbow Dash: Don’t apologize, that was awesome.
DM: Either way, you get what you wanted. Venger is totally buried in books.
Twilight Sparkle: That won’t hold him for long. Let’s get some distance between us.
Applejack: Right. We gotta git that spell gone first.
Rainbow Dash: She’s probably more worried about damaging the imaginary books.
Rarity: Do you have a plan, Twilight?
Twilight Sparkle: For now, just try to lose Venger so we have some breathing room.
Pinkie Pie: Hey Spike, you said our items glow when we use ‘em, right?
DM: Yes?
Pinkie Pie: Then let’s make it harder for Venger to follow us!
roll
DM: Oh, clever! That’ll delay him even more.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, Dash and I will go counter the spell. You four distract Venger till we’re done.
Applejack: How’re we s’posed to do that?
Rarity: I might have an idea. Spikey-wikey…this is the same hallway we were in earlier, right?
DM: Yes? Why? … No. YOU WOULDN’T.
