DM: …HOLD ON.
Rainbow Dash: Wuh-oh.
DM: Did you bring the Elements of Harmony with you to this place?
Rarity: Of course…?
Applejack: Don’t want ‘em stolen again.
DM: Oh boy… This is going to happen a LOT sooner than I expected, but… par for the course, really. The Elements resonate and let out a bright flash that washes over the area. Suddenly, you can see a tangled mass of black, thorny vines all around you, invisible before now. They emit an aura of darkness and malice, writhing and grasping anything they can reach. And they all seem to be originating from a cavern in the gorge below the castle.
Fluttershy: As if we didn’t have enough problems…
Applejack: Ah take it we’d have to deal with this sooner or later.
Rainbow Dash: Looks like it.
Rarity: How do we get down there? I’m not cliff-diving again.
DM: Umm… <roll> Thankfully, whatever this place is, it looks like it was important enough to make sure it was accessible. So… there’s a winding staircase carved from the stone of the gorge.
Pinkie Pie: Last one to the bottom’s a rotten dog egg!
DM: Dog egg?
Pinkie Pie: Yeah! Like the HAL Laboratory logo!
DM: …Wow. I *instantly* regret asking.
