Guest Author’s Note: “Loosely inspired by the Halo HeroClix line from years ago.

“As Yogi Berra once said, ‘It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.’ Until your entire team is dead, there’s always that one-in-a~~million chance that you can turn things around and come out smelling like roses. Story Time today is tell us about last-minute saves.”

Newbiespud’s Note: As an alternate Story Time (2 for 1 today!), tell a story about “buyer’s remorse” ~~ a feat choice or class feature that someone else got that made you want it, or one that you got and regretted later.

DM: I’m sorry, I don’t have the next Equestria adventure ready yet, but I borrowed this new Halo game I thought we could try out.
Rainbow Dash: Sweet! I love it already!
Rarity: Well, variety IS the spice of life, I suppose. I’m game.
DM: I’ve got some pregens here and – whoop! That was fast.
Rainbow Dash: I got what I need right here. This CQB guy gets a sweet assault rifle and can attack even after moving double his speed!
Applejack: Ah git one of those rifles too, but as Demolitions, Ah also git this handy grenade launcher.
Rainbow Dash: Whoa! I want one of those!
Rarity: I, however, chose a more delicate approach. As the Scout, I have an armor-piercing sniper rifle and a cloaking device.
Pinkie Pie: I got the Hayabusa class! I get a COOOOOL katana! I can also make copies of myself. I’m my own party!
Rainbow Dash: Why does she get a katana? This is a sci-fi game!
DM: It’s to balance out the Covenant energy swords.
Rainbow Dash: Can I get-?
DM: Sorry. Class feature.
Rainbow Dash: And what sort of cool features do you guys get?
Fluttershy: Oh, I picked the Medic. I deploy healing fields and only carry a pistol.
Twilight Sparkle: And I’m a Soldier. I get some extra health and ammo with no special powers.
Rainbow Dash: Nothing I’m missing then.
Twilight Sparkle: I also get to start with any weapons I want, so I took a laser cannon and a rocket launcher!
Rainbow Dash: GAH!!!!
DM: Alright, I’m getting a nice game out, like Risk.
