Page 305 — The Mole Ponies

Down, down, down…

Yeah, I recently made a stupid mental connection between this and The Mole People, and now the thought just won't go away.

DM: Well, you’re low on HP and all the holes are filled in… so the Diamond Dogs are gonna burrow back into the ground. They don’t think you’ll be a problem anymore.
Rainbow Dash: Yeesh. You gave them, like, Dig Speed 10 and Reflexes on steroids. What’d you think was gonna happen?
DM: You’d hit their AC instead?
Rainbow Dash: Shaddup.
Fluttershy: Um… This… isn’t over, right? Rarity isn’t gone forever, is she??
DM: Hmm… Roll Perception.
Everypony: <roll>
Applejack: Got a 22!
DM: A good distance away, you find another hole leading deep down into the earth. It’s not filled in, and there don’t seem to be any Diamond Dogs around to stop you. Aaaaand while you five come up with a plan to take advantage of this, I’m going to get back to Rarity in the other room.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh no. Not again!
DM: You’ve dealt with Philomena, agonized over whether to bring Celestia, and engaged in combat. It’s high time Rarity had a turn. Also, I am never, EVER splitting the party like this again.
