Page 998 – Emotional Damage

Artist: ChrisTheS

I haven’t already used this line, have I? No? I managed to save it until nearly the thousandth page? (Probably long after anyone who watched the show remembers it was even a minor meme in Season 1?)

<del>Sweet</del>. No, wait, it’s come up once (>>2140320) before and another (>>2138230) time in a guest comic. Ah well. I still appreciate ChrisTheS for putting it in, because I at least had to get one in during a combat scene.

Blueblood: A token of my affection, dearie!

DM: As a minor action, Elusive tosses a trick rose at Rarity. Which… misses. BUT! The rose lands next to you and releases a cloud of poison gas.

Rarity: More ironic symbolism. What’s next, a marriage certificate written with explosive runes?

DM: No. He moves. As Elusive moves, the amulet grants him supernatural concealment.

Rarity: Oh. He’s going to sneak attack me, isn’t he?

DM: Correct. For… not that much damage, even with the extra dice. Lucky you. And since HP doesn’t really represent wounds until bloodied… I guess all it did was cut your dress.

Rarity: My… My dress… I worked… so hard on this disguise, only to play into your ridiculous gambit…! It. Is. ON.
