2nd Feb 2021, 6:00 AM in A Canterlot Wedding, Part 2

The “I’ve Already Won” villainous monologue is a classic and fun to deliver, but it can be a bit disconcerting when you weren’t exactly prepared for it to be serious.

Our Vampire: the Masquerade Spudventure has concluded! I think it’s one of our finest recent mini-campaigns. I’m really happy with the work done on it and the contributions of the players and viewers. Give it a listen now that the finale is up!

DM: So… I guess we cut back to the wedding hall? Shining Armor is still brainwashed, Cadance has been immobilized, and Spike… is there too.

Princess Cadance: You won’t get away with this! Twilight and her friends will use the Elements of Harmony to banish you all!

Queen Chrysalis: Hmmm, yes, that would be inconvenient… Good thing I’ve got thousands of minions to secure the city, including the vault.

DM: And that’s when the six of you are brought in.

Princess Cadance: Oh no…!

Rainbow Dash: Urge to punch rising.

Pinkie Pie: Stay on target!

Twilight Sparkle: You didn’t mention Celestia. Is she…?

DM: Celestia is… alive.

Twilight Sparkle: …“But?“

DM: But she’s been cocooned in a gooey green pod hanging from the ceiling, sapping her strength and magic.

Rarity: Eugh!

DM: Yeah, it’s not pleasant.

Queen Chrysalis: Princess of Love, Captain of the Guard, Celestia, Elements… I [*love*] it when the pieces fall one by one.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, but you needed reinforcements to take down Celestia.

Queen Chrysalis: Au contraire, my dear Twilight! I took her down all by myself. The love I absorbed, the love your brother has for his would-be fiancé? It was the most potent love I’ve ever consumed. More than powerful enough to overcome an aging alicorn who hasn’t had a real fight in centuries!

Rarity: [^That is the *strangest* compliment...^]

Queen Chrysalis: So if your brilliant plan was to take the fight to me personally, I have bad news for you.

Twilight Sparkle: …I’m all out of plans. You’ve won. Go ahead and gloat. Do your victory lap.

Queen Chrsyalis: You’re adorable when you lie, Twilight. But you are right about one thing: I [*have*] won. Canterlot is now all mine.

DM: …Okay, but seriously: I have no idea where you all are going with this.
