Page 60 – Little Forest of Horrors

Spoiler: Pinkie Pie is planning to use a ritual.

DM: You make your way forward, out of the canyon and into a thicker part of the jungle. As the moon disappears behind the forest canopy, it becomes more difficult to see. For a split second, however, Rarity is able to notice a blue mist weaving through the darkness.

Rarity: Hmph. How cowardly for a goddess to behave.

DM: You hear a quiet, evil laugh.

Fluttershy: Oh no. We’re doomed!

Applejack: Wha…? Calm down. Nothin’s happened yet. Geez.

DM: Then, an eerie light emanates from all the trees… And you see that each one has become a twisted, carnivorous abomination!

Applejack: Ack- Stop doing that right after I say stuff!

DM: The sight of just one monstrous tree causes an unnatural urge to run away screaming. But surrounded as you are by these monsters, you’re paralyzed by fear.

Rarity: …Trees, really? Well, is this a “save ends” sort of fear?

DM: Yes. And since you noticed Nightmare Moon, you have a bonus to this saving throw.

Rarity: Excellent.

<roll> I break free of the effect and immediately inform the others.<br/>
DM: Now everypony gets the bonus. <roll> But soon afterwards, the fear grips you again.<br/>
Rarity: Excuse me?!<br/>
Fluttershy: Doomed!<br/>
Rainbow Dash: Oh GREAT. It’s an at-will thing.<br/>
Twilight Sparkle: We’re going to be rolling saves forever if we don’t get rid of these!<br/>
Pinkie Pie: <gasp!> I got it! I have the perfect plan to get us out of this!<br/>
Rarity: …Nevermind; NOW I’m frightened.
