In this intense climax, Dash and Turner (Fluttershy-for-a-day) make it to the stronghold and explore it (a great example of the AJ Lightin’ lightmaps in action), defeat the Cockroach spawner, brave near death, and then Dash trips over her own hooves and falls into the End, where she blows up a bunch of stuff before getting snuffed by the dragon!
The last episode before the derpy wrap-up. Next round, we have fixed the machine so it flings guilty ponies away from it rather than let them place the dragon egg, and made the Enderman situation trickier by basing them more out in the open! But that is a story for another day…
While trying to find the stronghold, Dash suffers another horrific and gruesome death! Galloping back, she discovers Fluttershy has slain all the monsters pacifistically and gathered up all her dropped stuff. Dash looks nervously at Fluttershy, thinking ‘damn’…
Enough preparing! Dash and Turner set off into the uncharted, dark, spooky wilderness to find and conquer the stronghold. They’ll go anywhere—even right out into the middle of the air!
A second playtest of Nightmare Moon has bogged down… until now!. Rainbow Dash, with her trusty and alarmingly badass Fluttershy, sets off to get things moving in this glimpse into a Nightmare Moon play-through! The first episode is showing you where the stuff-grinding resources are (it’s a second playthrough of the map, not the one in the first series but what is actually there right now.
As of now we haven’t slain the dragon, but this little LP arc is me and Zobrux going through the mountains to find one of the strongholds, beating the ‘Cockroach’ spawner (Dash is like ‘get back!’ but then gets in dreadful trouble and her life is saved literally at the last moment by Fluttershy) and then going to the End by mistake and beginning the destroying of dragon crystals. So as of now, the server is open to anyone, the path to the End is open, and beating the game is anybody’s game. We have to get the dragon egg, and use our Fluttershy to place it (be nearest the machine when it is placed)
And Fluttershy is Zobrux this time, so Zobrux (who shows terrifying efficiency getting to the stronghold and is basically tougher than Dash) cannot just log on and slay the dragon. One of US has to do it. Who will be the one? The path to the End is open, and the end game is in play!
Trixie Lulamoon’s head hung low. Blood dripped from her nose, and her eyes crossed a little, but she forced them straight and gritted her teeth, willing her magical ward to hold for another few seconds as the maddened townsponies charged it. Continue reading →
Fluttershy fully intended to be the first pony awake at Sweet Apple Acres, so she could speak to Rainbow Dash about what she’d seen. She’d risen before dawn, and flown alone through the last minutes of night so she could arrive at the farmhouse before even the Apples were awake. Continue reading →
Rainbow woke. It was dim. She wondered if it was morning, or just afternoon. She wondered what sort of horrible pony would ask herself a question like that. It was no wonder Applejack had given up on her and wandered away. She’d have given up on herself, with relief. It was strange that Applejack had, though… Continue reading →
Rarity stepped nervously towards Twilight Sparkle’s kitchen table, glancing around, her horn glowing as she carried a needle, thread, and cloth. Continue reading →
