Buck buck buck buck how could thing go so far south so quickly? I thought to myself as i ducked under a swing from the golem fluttershy was dragging rainbow dash away from the golem while applejack and i played decoys pinkie was trying to give support lobbing grenades at the golem while twilight shot arrows into every critical point she could find but there weren't that many to start with being a giant rock and all this thing was pretty sturdy. Atleast it was slow we had to have something after all but things went south when rainbow got cocky she broke formation and started to attack the golem as fast as she could drawing all of its attention but not getting away from it.see the monsters focus on whatever is doing the most damage at the time and since that was rainbow she got to see just how hard this thing could hit or atleast she would have had i not used the shield to knock her out.the shield however got hit with the full force of the blow since it was now in the space that rainbow had  Occupied just  moments ago and the shield shattered like it was made of glass I knew i was going to catch hell for that later but i think jumping in to slash the golem and drawing its attention away from rainbow will score me a few pittie points i brought all of the remaining shields into an orbit around myself doing my best to dodge the golems swings while yelling for fluttershy to grab rainbow and to have applejack and the others back her up while i kept our friend busy. Little did i know that the more we damaged the golem the faster it got twilight was the first to notice that the golem was getting faster and its attacks were becomeing more frequent but by that time it was to late the golem swung at me and nearly took my head clean off had i not  used one of the shields to soften the blow i would have died right there but i could tell a certain smith had just died a little inside at seeing not just one but two of his best shields being smashed like it was nothing but just because i was down two shields didnt mean i was done applejack showed up out of no were and slashed the golem from behind while rarity launched a stream of spells all at once from fireballs to speed buffs making applejack all the deadlier but now we where down a pony and had we weren't even through half of this behemoths health then i out of nowhere a rainbow flew overhead and landed a few feet away from us when the light subsided i saw three mares and all three of them looked stunning in ones hand there was a bow and arrow on her hip there was a whip she had orange fur and a purple mane which was almost a mirror image of rainbow dashes and she was a Pegasus next to he there was another mare with a yellow coat and a red mane that when't down her back to her hips there was a bow in her hair and a war hammer in her hands and finishing off the group was a mare with a white coat and a two toned main with pink and purple almost cut strait down the middle around her horn who wasn't holding a weapon i assumed she was a spell caster of  some kind but she didn't seem to have any casting tools on her person but she did have a bracelet with a strange bell on the end of it  then what happened next threw me for a loop they showed up as members of our party there names were sweetie bell scootaloo and applebloom i looked over to spike who was standing next to them after they made there entrance the group started to say hello but where cut off by pinkie pie who shouted less talky more fighty  though i didn't really need an introduction anyway almost everypony knew who they where myself included after the launch of the game they made a name for themselves becoming the first players to map out an area and distribute the information to the rest of the players turns out that even though the rooms changed every two weeks the map was still useful. more players started making it back from dungeon raids with the danger zones mapped out newbs knew to stay out and that improved the mortality ratings almost overnight. They had to release a new map every two weeks though. so after the succsess of the first map they had gotten a team together this team maped out the dungeon every two weeks in only four hours. during  This time everyone else stays out of the dungeon to give the map team their space. pip the pirate was the first one to discover that the dungeon didnt just have all of the rooms move around randomly instead the walls just changed around to block off paths and change the layout so they edited the map program where they could move the walls on the map to match the dungeon it was difficult at first untill of course until applebloom made a 3d model of the dungeon and started distributeing maps based on it once that was done the team just had to update the map and keep their ears open for player complaints those went strait to a box with read for a good laugh writen on the top now these three where here to help us fight a golem shortly after they arrived sweetie bell ran over to rainbowdash and her strange bell started to glow seconds later rainbow dash opened her eyes and asked what hit her applejack looked at me and rainbow was glaring and i just shrugged and yelled better me than him as i jumped to escape another swing from my huge friend the golem  twilight and scootaloo where now firing arrows as fast as possible applejack and applebloom where striking in perfect unison rarity and sweetibell where launching fireballs and lightning bolts rainbow dash was being tended to by spike and fluttershy but then  i noticed that somepony was missing applebloom struck the golem in the head with her hammer and it was stunned for a second then i noticed pinkie was missing from our group and nopony else seemed to notice or if they did they didn't care then i here twilight say good job everypony time to rap this up she looked at me and said your the fastest lead the golem this way i struck the golem once more and bolted for twilight i didnt know what she had planned but it had to be better than dodgeing for my life and then i heard them yell fire in the hole and behind me there was a huge explosion i was thrown a few feet threw the air and ended up in pinkies arms then pinkie set me down and said. that was my own recipe what did you think? Well i think that was the largest explosion i have ever seen what did you use? o you know some blackpowder a little nitroglycerin a bit of magnesium and just a dash of oregano. oregano? Yes oregano silly it makes a very nice boom cant have a decent bomb without a little oregano gives the bomb a nice kick. I look at her then at the rest of the group they just said it was pinkie pie being pinkie. Twilight leaned in and told me i was better off not questioning it.i started to try to reason it but found myself moments later with huge headache and was holding my head while rainbow dash was on her back laughing at my pain saying we warned you. Shortly after that fluttershy handed me a small vile and said it would help my headache she also warned me that it was going to taste horrible i looked at the label and it said it was called pinkies brew almost every pony who drinks knows of pinkies brew its the most powerful headache medicine known to ponydom its Also the gold standard for horrible tastes if i where to describe it think of old gym socks dipped in rotten milk and filled with rotten eggs than to top it off a healthy dose of dragons breath was added now that would be paradise  compared to this stuff. the games taste generator was very well made so this was sure to taste just like the real thing so looking at the bottle i start to weigh my options on one hand my head feels like there's a railroad spike being driven into it on the other hand If i drink this i will get to see everything i had for breakfast lunch and dinner this week to be honest death  looks like a good alternative right. now well bottoms up i take one sip and it hits me like a train wreck on fire and i pass out. I wake up several hours later the throbbing  in my head was gone but now i had a new problem  i was in a dark room with all my gear gone and i was paralyzed then i looked over to see my guard she just smiled and yelled girls he's awake now i was concerned and asked what happened and were am i she smiled and said you'll see.
