For the Vicious Mockery quip, I tried looking through reddit threads of in-character Bardic insults to use with it, but man… just about all of them sucked. Besides, completely disregarding universal boundaries and going straight for the nostalgic jugular seemed more Pinkie-player’s speed.

Rainbow Dash: I use Combat Sprint to get in his way. How mad is he now?

DM: He’ll get an attack of opportunity.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, but I get a +4 bonus to my defenses!

DM: How does a Natural 20 suit you?

Rainbow Dash: What?!

DM: He hits you with the full power of his Unstable Strike.

Rainbow Dash: Urgh, fine. I’ll use my second wind.

Applejack: Mah turn then. Ah mark Elusive as mah quarry. Jaws of the Wolf! And that’s it. That’s mah last Daily attack power.

DM: Really? Awesome! That means I gave you plenty of reasons to use them. Anyway… Elusive retreats, gaining concealment again as he moves.

Applejack: No doubt tryin’ to hide and set up a big sneak attack…

Pinkie Pie: I use Vicious Mockery! You’re not the person Mr. Rogers knew you could be!!

DM: His concealment somehow helps to resist that.

Fluttershy: Wait a second… He’s cloaking, right? What if I used Vexing Overgrowth? Could the grasping plants and vines reveal his position?

DM: That’s… You know what? Sure. I like the flavor there.

Twilight Sparkle: Way to go!

Fluttershy: Haha! I think I’m getting the hang of this!
