I dunno, I just like the idea that Pinkie Pie is on a big Agatha Christie kick.
Or maybe that's slightly terrifying.
Transcript:
DM: Anyway, guilt-tripping aside, the journey to Canterlot goes mostly smoothly.
Applejack: Exceeeeeept…?
Pinkie Pie: Murder mystery! Murder mystery!
DM: There's a guard station checkpoint at the outer limits, and from that point on and around the entire city, there is a magical force-field bubble.
Rarity: That… can't be trivial to make.
Shining Armor: Oh yeah, I bet.
DM: The guards let the train go through without stopping. The edge of the magic barrier passes through the train and through each of you, making you feel like you've been scanned.
Rainbow Dash: Eugh!
Applejack: "Scanned"…?
Twilight Sparkle: I guess that makes sense, with Discord still technically at large… Wait, would a magical barrier even stop Discord?
DM: Based on your experience, you can safely intuit: Probably not!
Shining Armor: Wait, it wouldn't? Awww.
