My bizarre job for this sequence was to somehow sell the fiction that this was playing out within the confines of a tabletop session running a real game system, while also letting the visuals sell the fiction that this would make an awesome episode of the show. And while I've had to shorthand a lot and, uh, ask that you don't think too hard about the action economy towards the end, I think we've managed to reach the home stretch with those fictions intact. It's been an experience.

Speaking of tabletop and bizarre fictions, here's another episode of that podcast about tabletop thieves!
Tales of New Dunhaven — Session 14-1 — The Most Wanted Job: Libsyn YouTube

Transcript:
Pinkie Pie: Alright! I use my other Majestic Word on Rarity to heal her back up! The brand new Majestic Word is "showtime"!
Rarity: I couldn't agree more, Pinkie. Shall we show this wannabe king who really rules around here?
Rainbow Dash: Dang it, I was gonna do the awesome pre-beatdown one-liner. Had one saved up and everything.
DM: You… can still say yours.
Rainbow Dash: Moment's passed, genius. Hers was better anyway…
Blueblood: No… NO! I have worked too long and too hard for this! I'll destroy you before you ruin everything!
DM: He swings at you with a powered-up Unstable Strike.
Rarity: I use a Swift Parry to buff my defenses.
DM: So… you took his last-ditch magical point-blank attack… and completely deflected it. Lovely.
Twilight Sparkle: I think I have the perfect setup for the final strike! I cast Symphony of the Dark Court!
DM: Oh boy, let's see… Each ally in the burst can shift up to 4 squares and gain +4 to damage rolls until the end of your next turn.
Pinkie Pie: This is the best song ever!
DM: And Blueblood is dazed and immobilized, save ends both. As if he wasn't granting enough combat advantage. Which means the question really boils down to: How do you want to finish it?
Rarity: Say… Could a glass slipper be an improvised throwing weapon?
DM: I suppose so?
SFX: (BACKSTAB!)
