Rarity: Switch off.
Pinkie Pie: Awwh.
Twilight Sparkle: What I don't get, is why there was a trap with its manual just laying around town.
DM: It's on the outskirts. You'd heard of the testing grounds, but you weren't certain where they were. Now you are.
Pinkie Pie: Why would someone want to put coffee through pop quizzes?
Twilight Sparkle: …anyway. So we've wandered into a trap minefield?
DM: Yeah. I wanted to test out the rules.
Twilight Sparkle: That's fair. This apple's the next trap?
DM: A good assumption. What do you do?
Twilight Sparkle: Try to disarm! If it looks like an apple, there are no obvious mechanical parts, so it's Arcana to disarm?
DM: You can try.
Twilight Sparkle: Natural 20!
DM: Umm. That wasn't actually a trap, but I should reward…
Pinkie Pie: I know! Here!
Applejack: That's our carriage from the Gala. Oooh, wait, is this the day before and we came here looking for things to make into our ride?
DM: Sure, let's go with that.
