Hey /mlp/, I'm in a bit of a spot. I'm currently running an RPG (Fabula Ultima, very heavily JRPG inspired system) in the MLP world that takes place 50 years after the main series, and all the elements have died except Princess Twilight. The party is 4 stallions of various species and a female dragon, and Princess Twilight wants them to write her letters, just like she wrote to Princess Celestia many years earlier. They're currently in Ponyville and just had a fun time bonding over hayburgers. Luster Dawn just discovered that a well-known professor (made up character) from Ponyville went missing, his disappearance potentially linked with followers of the Storm King as evidence would show. They know the professor was taken north, and they found an incriminating map with 3 locations marked: Ponyville, Rainbow Falls, and a remote location in the frozen north. (Potentially Snowpitt or near there)

I gotta run session in less than 24 hours and want there to be some combat. How can I introduce it in a way that isn't just an arbitrary "5 Timberwolves showed up", though as the system is very RPG inspired it could happen.

Nah, /tg/ mods are pretty lenient in that regard.

We know nothing about your world and how fucked up its society is, so if you want your group to fight something all I can offer is some kinda wildlife or old personal enemies of one of the party members. Or their evil twins from other dimensions. Mean sticks?
Why would ponies follow a dead monkey, are they retarded or something?

They're following a new storm king, his heir.
