History Awesome / PoniesAndDragons

* The round of ''{{TabletopGames/Go}}'' between Scorch and Master Babylon. Two dragons [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever the size of MOUNTAINS]], using huge boulders as game pieces , trading some friendly trash-talk...and all the while a crowd of smaller dragons watch as if it were a tense standoff or epic battle. MundaneMadeAwesome at its absolute ''finest.''

* During the Storm King's take over, Cheerilee, Zecora, and the Deer mount a rescue of the captured foals. The Deer use their GreenThumb magic to attack the Storm King's {{Mooks}} after Cheerilee lures them into Everfree. Aspen then interrogates one of them to find the foal's location, at which point Zecora uses an {{Invisibl|eMan}}ity potion to sneak in and rescue the foals, losing the guards int the Everfree with help from the Deer.

** Then there's how Master Babylon ''wins'' said game. He distracts Scorch with some banter ''just enough'' for the latter to set down a piece without thinking....while it's still technically ''Babylon's'' turn, thus making an illegal move and making Babylon the winner by default. Quite the MagnificentBastard indeed.

** And then for good measure Aspen gets some reinforcements from the Everfree. [[spoiler:The URSA MAJOR]]

* Silver Spoon managing to completely destroy the Defilers by effectively delivering a LogicBomb on their entire organization with the ''lore of the game''.

* Amethyst Star [[HeroicSacrifice letting herself be captured]] by the Storm King's {{Mooks}} so her little sister and the Doctor can escape.

** The Baron's inadvertent KarmicDeath--from AJ's character slipping on some ice and [[AssKicksYou ending up sitting on him]]--is both this and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/PoniesAndDragons hilarious.]]

** Later on she saves Thorax from an assassination attempt in much the same way.

* The CurbStompBattle the Mane Six dole out in ''March of the Giants'' in Chapter 9. Lucky dice rolls and some quick thinking on everypony's part let their giant characters make quick work of the pony Baron's forces and castle: Half a company of {{Mooks}} is ''literally'' StompedFlat in one blow by AJ, Rainbow [[BlowYouAway sends a squad of archers flying with a wing-gust]], and the castle's wall is ''demolished'' via a good old-fashioned tackle. To end with a bang, a potentially lethal cannon brigade is [[KillItWithIce turned into ice statues by Rarity]], and the Baron himself and his last flunkies are ensnared in vines courtesy of Fluttershy. Even if only a board game, still quite impressive.

** Meanwhile, Mina of Dragon Town has also grown into a titanic beauty. She's also become something of a champion for Dragon Town, stubbornly (yet peacefully) holding onto her home's independence even as Ember has been consolidating power and influence all this time. Ember couldn't have asked for a more worthy rival.

** Often doubles as Funny, due to the OhCrap reations this produces from the GameMaster (usually Twilight or Shining Armor) at seeing everything hijacked.

* A flash forward reveals that Gilda will ascend to goddesshood due to ''making a strawberry-topped cheesecake'' for one of griffonkind's gods ( who was visiting Ponyville disguised as a normal male griffon in the present day). Arguably outstrips the above for MundaneMadeAwesome.

--> ''"...And then I learned of your tantrum over the game." Supia's voice was a demonic, buzzing hiss. [[EvilIsPetty "Sending some of your soldiers to harass the poor developers just for NOT making YOU their monster?]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Do you even KNOW size-shifting spells? Have YOU ever caused a tsunami with just the force of your wings? Have YOU ever crushed a mad daimyo's army LITERALLY underhoof?"]] A slim pink tongue shot out and licked at those horrible mandibles. '''"Do you know what kappas taste like when you swallow them whole by the dozens?!"''''']]

* Session 8.13 gives us Queen Supia, a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever gigantic]] Neighponese Changeling Queen who resembles a hornet. When Chrysalis bans a board game with a character similar to Supia in it (something Chrysalis claims "steals the terror-spotlight" from herself), Supia shows up and delivers a ''terrifyingly awesome'' speech that leaves the normally arrogant Chrysalis a trembling wreck:

** Chrysalis then promptly revokes the ban.
