Guest Author’s Note: “D&D brings up a lot of questions. Questions that generally need the reminder of ‘just think to yourself it’s just a game, I should really just relax.’  
 
Unless of course you’re being chased by a five-headed dragon god, in which case, please do not relax, this is very serious.”  

Applejack: After y’all eat, it’s prob’ly time ta mosey on out ta Helix. Most likely that alarm bell is where our trouble’s gonna start.  
DM: It’s definitely more likely than an alarm going off when everything’s fine.  
Applejack: Ah’m gonna guess Merlin ain’t strong enough ta send us home…but is there any chance he could just zap us ta Helix or somethin’?  
Merlin: It is well within my power to send you to Helix. But I’ll need a small favor first…  
DM: You hear a knocking at the door to the chambers.  
Merlin: My mere existence has made me untold enemies. And what I foresaw of today was not merely your arrival.  
Applejack: Ah git it. Ah’m sure we can help you beat back whatever’s comin’.  
DM: On the other side of the door is…  
roll  
DM: You’ve got to be kidding me.  
Applejack: Spike, Ah don’t know what you did to make ‘em mad, but fer our sake, please apologize to yer dice.  
Fluttershy: Maybe I can intimidate her so we don’t have to fight.  
roll  
Fluttershy: Oh dear…that’s not good enough, is it?  
DM: Good enough to intimidate the five-headed dragon monster?  
DM: No. No it was not.  
DM: Fortunately, you’re light enough for Merlin to lift you to safety.  
Rainbow Dash: Okay, where is that spell on the list?  
Twilight Sparkle: I think I have the best shot of distracting Tiamat. I’ll hold her off while we make a plan.  
Pinkie Pie: Well, I wanna check out the rest of the castle! There’s gotta be something we can use!  
Rainbow Dash: Hey, why were these doors big enough for Tiamat anyway?  
Pinkie PIe: Less thinky, more runny!  
Twilight Sparkle: I would really appreciate you doing both!
