Transcript:
> Applejack: Discord, yer makin' a huge mistake! Not just morally, but tactically! Yer puttin' yerself in a bad spot!
> Rainbow Dash: No matter what happens to us, Twilight is gonna kick your butt. Let us go and MAYBE she'll forgive you.
> Rarity: \This would be the perfect moment for… Oh dear…\
> Pinkie Pie: This is a TERRIBLE going-away present! It's like you're not even trying!
> DM: Tirek stomps up behind you all as you're yelling at Discord. He's twice as tall as the cage Discord summoned around you.
> Rarity: Oh my. You're much larger than you look in the manuscripts.
> Tirek: I get that a lot. It was an older painting.
> Applejack: Uh, can we focus, please?
> Discord: Hahaha, delightful! Now, who wants to go first? Or shall we just drain everypony all at once?
