In the prologue Deathwing wipes out Ponyville (except Rainbow Dash, who was flying overhead) and they don't have Princess Celestia resurrects them all (except Applejack who was rezzed by a passing Dwarf with jumper cables). Later, during one of the portable Gnomish Army Knife (gobling Jumper Cables included). Also know as first boss battles, Rainbow Dash is killed and almost immediately rezzed by Fluttershy.

** Weirdly, could also be said for [[DeathIsCheap dying.]] Dash and Pinkie are big [=PvP=]'ers and die all the time, and Applejack's warrior trainer specifically warns her ahead of time that as a tank, dying isn't a matter of "if" so much as "how often". When a TotalPartyKill happens and everyone's in various degrees of freaking out due to being dead, the three of them take it in mild irritation, embarrassment at having caused the wipe, and admirable stride respectively.
* KillEmAll: The ''prologue.'' Deathwing torches most of Ponyville, who then have to be Mass Resurrected by the princesses. (Except for Dash, who was flying too high to be caught in it. She then grouses that she missed [[http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=5518/stood-in-the-fire the achievement.]]) Taken lightly at first, but the various flashbacks to the Cataclysm give rather sobering accounts of the fact that, yes, everypony really did get violently burned to death. Worse still, [[spoiler:Sweet Apple Acres was outside the Mass Resurrection radius -- were it not for her family being in town for chance reasons and a surly drunken dwarf with "nipple clamps" passing by the farm as a first responder, ''none of them would have gotten back up.'']]



* ObfuscatingStupidity: MLP fans will already be familiar with Pinkie's tendency to know more than she lets on, but suffice to say that's the tip of the iceberg. Throughout the dungeon crawl she completely takes Twilight off guard as a perceptive and devious teammate, going as far as to engineer the circumstances of her own death during a bad pull (granted that she caused by accident) so she'll be in a better position to pull everyone back up after the wipe.



* ShoutOut: Numerous, and almost all of them done by Pinkie Pie.

to:

* ShoutOut: Numerous, and almost all of them done by Pinkie Pie.Pie.
* SureWhyNot: At the conclusion of the story, the Manes get an achievement for completing the dungeon, but the author accidentally forgot to show Dash getting it too. When this was brought to the author's attention, he added an epilogue where Dash [[DeepImmersionGaming petitions a GM for it.]]
* WorthIt: WOW tanks know very well that their job is to take hits so their teammates don't have to, but it's very easy to abstract everything into your health bar and not think about that. This story pulls absolutely no punches in detailing that Applejack (and Dash when necessary) are getting skin burned off with magic, swarmed by venomous flesh-eating insects, ribs smashed and limbs dislocated several times in the space of a minute, impaled a few times, and generally getting the ''ever-loving horseapples'' beaten out of them. Continually. And yet...
--> '''Applejack''': "I took a beatin' to high heaven, but Ah gotta say, it was worth every minute ta know every blow Ah took was one my friends didn't have'tah."
