Four friends are meeting up to play a nice game of Ogres and Oubliettes, but they get more of an adventure than they were looking for!

They're pretty sure that being sucked into another world and having to fight for their lives is still all just a game, but if they ever want to go home, they're going to have to face their destiny.

This is a crossover with a parody RPGmaker game called 'Doom and Destiny'.

Woo, my replacement login still works!

Poor Bon Bon, stuck being the healer. Cook is even less cool than priest!

7118033 Everypony knows the most dangerous person is always the cook! :raritywink:

Well, that's not ominous at all! Surely the swirling maelstrom is just their harmless transport home. Yes.

This story has just kicked it up a notch in the humor department. I love the idea that the King and his wizards are doing some secret shady shit to summon our heroes. I suspect Lyra's spell has gone haywire, the magical equivalent of one of those Star Trek episodes where the holodeck has come alive and won't let anyone leave.

7122955 'One of those'? It happened more than once? :twilightoops:

7123142 Across TNG, DS9 and Voyager, I would say it happened over 12 times, no exaggeration. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HolodeckMalfunction

I'm torn on whether this is a game or real alternate dimension myself, although "we only sell starter kits in castle town" does lean heavily towards the former. Either way, Bon Bon has the right strategy for them to follow.

I would game with Bon Bon any day. She knows anything that gives you treasure and XP is probably evil.

I have to admit, this story is baffling me, but in a good way. Keep it up!

Not sure whether I like the magic +1 scythe more, or the crow swarm. Also nice Dark Tower reference!

*giggles at the fool's last line*

I feel kinda sorry for that poor guard, though. v_v

Awww, poor Bon-Bon. You shouldn't've wasted your golz on the wrong size armor!

Heroically robbing the locals? Well, they put up with it. I guess it has to be a game!

You must save the sidequest! Don't let it all get burnt up or you won't get paid for it.

7202439 He'll be fine. Probably.

Or else, replaced. It's not like you can tell them apart in those helmets.

Derpy bondage scene eeee! :D

The scarecrow boss was pretty scary! D:

7202513 And it wasn't even the scarecrow! Imagine how terrifying it would have been if its powers were turned on them. :derpyderp2:

Grinding is the worst. But they did figure out how to take out a spawn! Good work, team.

Multiple chapters since my last comment, and I'm still confused. Or maybe bemused is a better word to use. Either way, I'm still loving the story.

<-nibbles on Spike's protective muffin-barrier to see if it's done baking yet. "Mmm, muffins."

7222385 It's a good thing they brought Derpy. If Rarity was their healer she would have prayed to the Great Marshmallow and that might not have gone so well.

7217423 Hopefully I can get at least one chapter in that isn't nonstop fighting now that they finished the sidequest. :derpyderp2:

Why is it Derpy is the pirate, but Spike is the one who gets the booty?

Why does this not have more upvotes?

At this rate, the "actual" Heroes of Destiny are going to be chasing after them as the threat to the land.

“That’s because Twilight is a terrible parent!” Moondancer replied, standing up.
Spike scowled. “She’s not my mom!”

Have to agree with Moondancer, Twilight is clearly both Spike's Mom and a terrible parent. Although in Twilight's defense, she left her kid in the care of a childhood friend (Moondancer), so really Moondancer is a terrible friend for letting her oldest friend's son get sucked into a dangerous adventure.

Psst, Felicia: the way to a dragon's heart is through GEMS.

AHHHHHHHH nooooo Derpy STAAAAHP.

;__;

15 stabs is the price of vengeance, Moondancer. You could've let them live after insulting reading instead!

7329804 It was probably going to be a fight unless she let them eat her. Which might have been less painful than fighting, still.

Maybe Moondancer only wants to ride Derpy while Spike's riding her too? It's a threesome!

Nooooo not the cheesecake armor! NOT FOR PONIES! D:

At least Derpy can still laugh about it? Armor for masochists has made Moondancer extra-grim!

Sweet. Looks like the gang has found a great set of tactics that borders on a game exploit, and have used it to power-level, to the point where the Orcs have become much less of a challenge.

7469376 Now to see if it'll work on whatever's inside the dungeon!

7469542 If it doesn't, at least they finally saved.

I.O.U. one reader comment.

I'm sure this isn't a trap at all!

Maybe they're magic beans!

7581808 If you plant them you'll grow a giant slime? :derpyderp2:

Well, if she's gonna skip leaving the treasure some times, skipping the boss fight too is only fair!

Will nightmares appear or at least be mentioned in this story? I'm not talking about Nightmare Moon, I'm talking about these guys.

I think it would be terribly ironic if it turned out that King McGuffin or the jester was actually Dark Eidous. Also, I'm sad that Derpy didn't get the Saddle. Flying, Fire-breathing Spike & Derpy tandem aerial fighter-pirate combat should've been a thing! What a cruel world! Sadly, ponies don't quite seem to grasp the whole 'saddles are for riding' bit, even if it should be right on the tip of their tongue. You're a terrible author! You should be ashamed! How could you! Fighter-pirate is too good of a pun to deny the world! And if she gets her tiny cannons...

7118033 No, the cook is always the most terrifying. Because if they're in a small adventuring party or on the front lines of an army, where do you think they get their cooking ingredients?

7118052 Without a doubt! I'm mostly just shocked that BonBon hasn't started lighting their enemies on fire somehow, too! Or maybe just hitting them with a magically heated weapon. At least Moondancer got back her fire-throwing wizard status. Must've been awful to have her main role taken by the fighter!

7223993 Nah, they'd probably all (Except Spike) look like ragdolls, though. Fancy ragdolls. They'd all have horrible cases of acanthophobia too. That's the correct name for the fear of needles, right?

7628453 Spike can't ride on Derpy -- only Alicorns have seatbelts. :twilightsmile:

And oh muffin. Now I'm imagining Rarity healing them with acupuncture and new age crystals. :raritystarry:

7627740 Ehh, not in any major role. I might use them as a random enemy in one of the many many places where I forgot what the original game had for enemies, though.

7628467

And oh muffin. Now I'm imagining Rarity healing them with acupuncture and new age crystals.

Heheh, that has me in almost as many stitches as being injured while Rarity is the healer would. Thankfully, much less being mummified in silk, though. Her abilities really do seem like they'd work well for a team medic.

I love Orcus's ignominious end, and the party being smart enough to target the healer first.

Yay, they made it past the mini-bosses!

I'm suspicious about how easy the Guardian of Strength was, though. Ut oh.

They really need a lot more work on this whole "heroing" thing.
