Guest Author’s Note: “You know that thing where you used to be able to cloudwalk, and then suddenly you can’t, but this time you’re standing on something that itself can be supported by cloud?

Story Time prompt: players who narrate themselves right into the GM’s trap, with minimal to no active assistance from the GM.”

Newbiespud’s Note: Got a new Spudventure for ya! My friend’s running a 5e campaign for us with a twist: We all woke up with amnesia, with next to no idea of our identities or what our classes and ability scores are! And we’re about to enter the Dungeon of the Mad Mage!

DW: There’s a weak point here, so… I’ll sneak in and-

SFX: (FSSSSSST!)
GM: Take 15 fire damage, Doc.
DW: OWW! Gotta stop it! Gotta stop it!
GM: Forgot that an unaided earth pony can’t interact with clouds, didn’t you?
DW: Crap.
GM: Guards are closing in. I’ll be nice and say that only twenty can attack at once.
DW: Actually, zero.
GM: What?
DW: The Master Cloud Pillar may be intangible to me, but it’s not to them! The only way they’re getting at me is through this pillar.
GM: … Well played.
NPC Pegasus: Come out or you’ll doom every earth pony and unicorn in the cloud!
DW: I think you mean, ‘Come out AND you’ll doom every earth pony and unicorn…’
NPC Pegasus: You really didn’t think this through, did you?
GG: Actually he did!
NPC Pegasus: Oh, hello Gin; I didn’t see you there. Is there a problem?
GG: Worse. There’s a negotiation.
