Don't you hate it when things go, uh, exactly… the way you wanted them to…?

Sometimes the sudden re-railing can be just as jarring as the derailing.

Princess Cadance: This isn't my game, but is it alright if I suggest something?
DM: By all means.
Princess Cadance: I think it's reasonable that the fake bride would object to the bridesmaids wearing the Elements. And if Twilight had been captured wearing the Element of Magic, that could have been very bad.
Rainbow Dash: Gah, good point.
Princess Cadance: But I also think it's fair that the party, given all the security issues when they arrived, would have had the chance to stash the Elements in a safe place of their choosing.
DM: Makes sense. So where would this stash be?
Twilight Sparkle: Hmmm. Well… Do I know the vault-unlocking spell for the tower?
DM: I'd imagine Celestia would gladly trust you with the technique should you only ask.
Twilight Sparkle: Fine, looks like we're going to the tower vault after all.
DM: A– But– You– Ju– That's why I set it up that way!!
