Queen Chrysalis: Are these foals important to you? Don't lie, now.

Rarity: ...That's her. How could you possibly have this knowledge?!

Apple Bloom: Hey, I bet the three of us are important somehow!

Scootaloo: But we've never met before...

Sweetie Belle: <sigh>

Applejack: More or less.

Queen Chrysalis: Interesting. Well, hostages are hostages. Oh, and if you suspect I'm using fakes...

Apple Bloom: Let's share theories! I'm goin' with bein' foretold in prophecy.

Sweetie Belle: Which one?

Scootaloo: Seriously, I get you two, but why me? I don't even have a big sister.

Queen Chrysalis: Do you really think I would subject myself to this willingly? They'll live as long as I have patience for them. At this rate, let's give it... approximately three days.

Scootaloo: Hey! Uh, so... Don't mean to interrupt your villainous speech! But, uh, I kinda need to... go...

Queen Chrysalis: Ugh. Tick-tock...

Fluttershy: Oh dear.

Rainbow Dash: So who's related to the third kid?

Twilight Sparkle: Something's weird...

DM: The orb now shows you a map with a marked trail leading to what is apparently the heart of the changeling territory. It'll be a long journey. Spike will remain in Ponyville to keep an eye on things and try to contact the royalty.

Twilight Sparkle: Sounds like a plan. Though it feels a little weird to be doing this again. We've had so many social sessions in the past few weeks, and now...

Rainbow Dash: Ahh, good ol' questing! Adventure, loot, combat, loot, monsters...

Pinkie Pie: You know what would be funny? If we found a way to skip every combat encounter!

(beat)

Rainbow Dash: (quietly) Jinxed it...

Pinkie Pie: Or we get to the baddie's lair and get completely TPK'd! That could happen instead!

The Rest: PINKIE!!

Pinkie Pie: Ooh, and then we spend a session clawing our way back from the other side!

DM: By all means, continue doing all of the following: Giving me ideas, making me look scary, and fostering your own paranoia.
