Page 386 - Autopsy Turvy

It was on around the second draft of this page that I caught myself thinking, “Since when is this comic an examination of the role of randomness and improvisation in the hands of the tabletop dungeonmaster?”

And the immediate answer was, “Since Pinkie Pie.”

Applejack: Tell me this doesn’t form a timeline: Cerberus leaves his post. One prisoner escapes. Then a bunch of timberwolves run amok. And then a herd of cows nearby starts stampedin’, scared by a “ghost.”
PM: And then Pinkie’s knee feels pinchy again!
Applejack: Beg pardon?
NPC: STAMPEEEDE!! AGAIN!
SFX: (RUMBLE RUMBLE)
PM: It’s a horde of stampeding BUNNIES!
Fluttershy: What?? Who would do such a thing?!
Twilight Sparkle: So… is this planned or random?
Applejack: It’s BOTH!
