There’s a certain point where you just have to go, “Yep, no skill check’s going to stop stuff from hitting the fan now.” Some players go into that situation with more gusto than others.

Twilight Sparkle: That’s my familiar you’re about to lose! <roll> Uh-oh.
Rainbow Dash: For the love of- Stand back, everyone. I got this. <roll> WHAT?!
Fluttershy: Oh my goodness, oh my goodness… <roll> Wait, that’s actually good.
DM: What’s your Athletics skill level?
Fluttershy: …It’s 2. Nevermind.
Pinkie Pie: <roll>
DM: Hey, that’s a success!
Pinkie Pie: Oh, I’m not trying to pull everypony back. I just want to grab on and enjoy the ride!
DM: Um… You… can do that. I guess it’s for the best; I was going to make you do a hefty skill challenge anyway.
Pinkie Pie: See? Everypony wins!
