Tonight I am here to relate an occurrence that went beyond strange in my Jade Regent campaign.

Some spoilers follow

Spoiler:

The party had just gone and interrogated a factor at the rimerunners guildhall. They got the information they were after and left. Later that same night the party's barbarian and wizard decided that they needed to investigate the hall more throughly and went by themselves to raid the place.

They had decided to break in from the top floor but realized that the noise of the barbarian ripping holes in the building would attract attention so they decided on a diversion.

The wizard cast summon monster and got 5 ponies, yes ponies, to run around inside the building distracting the guards, they break in with just enough time left on the summon monster spell to break down a few doors. The guards then find them the wizard proceeds to cast color spray for the next 3 rounds the barbarian just hits things as usual. They manage to get what they were after and make it back out without dying (it was a close thing though) and live to fight again another day.

Essentially a pair of PCs survived an encounter thanks to the wizard calling on help from five celestial magical ponies and then shooting rainbows at people till they fell unconscious.

And neither players or GM(me) realized the implications of what had happened until the session was over, they had just beaten back 6 Viking Huskarls with an episode of My Little Pony....never saw that one coming.

ROFL, that was awesome.

But did they learn an important lesson on Friendship?

Also, that just made your whole game cooler. Like, 20% cooler.

This is classic! I love it. It's moments like these that make Pathfinder and RP games worth it.

I know exactly what you mean. My group seriously keeps me on my toes. This particular adventure path volume is unusual in the fact that Greg Vaughn seems to have some sort of prescience as all most all of the actions they decided to take are accounted for.

And this is from the group that decided that overthrowing the government of Sargava was a better option than going to find a lost city...and they almost succeeded.
