Page 40 - End of Act I

This is one serious milestone we’ve got here! Not only is this the 40th comic, this page represents the end of Friendship is Dragons’ coverage of Season One, Episode One! Onward to Episode Two!

Twilight Sparkle: Now might be a good time to ask: What happened to the Princess?
DM: The mayor overhears you and gestures toward Nightmare Moon…
Mayor Mare: Seize her! Only she knows where the princess is!
Nightmare Moon: Stand back, you FOALS!!
SFX: (KRACKOOM!)
DM: Nightmare Moon is wreathed in mist as she flies out the front door, cackling.
Rainbow Dash: Gah, I’m NOT letting her get away! <roll> 17 Strength to break free!
Applejack: <roll> Ah, darn it. Only 13.
DM: Alright, you’re flying free.
Rainbow Dash: I chase after her!
DM: Alrighty then… Roll Athletics.
Rainbow Dash: <roll> 22!
DM: Okay, you’re keeping up… Now roll Perception.
Rainbow Dash: Wait, what?
DM: Nightmare Moon’s ethereal form camouflages her against the night sky.
Rainbow Dash: <roll> 3. Grr.
DM: You lose track of her, and she disappears against the horizon.
Twilight Sparkle: So Nightmare Moon is free, and the princess is alive but nowhere to be found.
DM: And on that note, it’s time for a break.
Twilight Sparkle: …Now? On a cliffhanger?
DM: Hey, we’re not ending the session. We’re just taking a ten-minute break. It’s not like you have to wait a whole week or anything.
Pinkie Pie: I’ll get the snaaa-aaaacks!
