How Do I Get Down From Here?

Drop (40%)

Twilight jumped down from the rafters.

There was a shattering of glass, followed by the alarm going off. When the guards arrived on the scene, they found an unconscious Unicorn lying in a pile of shattered glass that used to be the holding case for the Equesstorial Diamond.

Did you really think that was going to work?

Wormhole Rifle (30%)

Twilight wasn’t proud of how she acquired this particular tool, but it would get the job done. The large mechanism had several moving parts and required a doctorate to understand how it worked. Thankfully, the device’s function was easy to understand. The wielder opened a portal doorway at one point, then opened a second doorway at a different point.

She opened the first doorway directly underneath the diamond. Then she opened the second one above the platform she was standing on. This would deposit the diamond directly in front of her.

Or it would have, if the platform hadn’t broken under the force of the falling gemstone. Now both the diamond and her were falling straight down into the portal, and out the other. And now back in the first and out the other.

FAIL
Well, this is an interesting predicament you’ve gotten us into.
What you wanted me to transcribe the entire failure message? My name's not nearly long enough for that.

Wire (30%)

Twilight grabbed a wire cable hanging near her, wrapped it around her barrel, then slow lowered herself down to the floor of the museum.

Hmm. Two fails and a success. I wonder if Twilight learned a "temporal memory spell" allowing her to recall the failures her alternate timeline counterparts made (which would be useful in learning from not just her own mistakes, but also those of several other versions of herself and also explain her remembering the stuff that got her killed in other timelines even though she herself is still very much alive). And, yes, I know I already made that suggestion in an earlier review. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't forgotten.

For "Infiltrating the Airship", it can be explained that "This is the Storm Army. They are a rather large group of thieves and conquerors. We have plans to stop them, but first, we need to know their weaknesses, so we will know what will be most effective in dealing with the toughest members. Getting that information is where YOU come in. Getting into the airship won't be easy. It is a literal flying fortress loaded with heavily armed guards and high-tech security. But then, we wouldn't need somebody of your skills if it WERE easy."

And, if the "Government Supported Private Investigator" route gets picked (which I hope it does, as it would be a good way to help Twilight learn the value of friendship, which would make it the most in future character for her), a robot vaguely resembling Spike with wings could be used as the "Robo-Helper".
