Transcript:
> DM: So, just as a final confirmation, you're all agreeing to surrender the Elements to the tree?
> Twilight Sparkle: Are we… making a huge, TPK-level mistake?
> DM: No, you're not going to end up in an "unwinnable" state because of this. This isn't a "gotcha." It's just… dramatic.
> Twilight Sparkle: Phew. Thanks for the clarification.
> DM: Anytime.
> Twilight Sparkle: So… do we have to give them the whole jewelry pieces, or do the gemstones just pop out?
> DM: Well, technically the gold is also– Nevermind. Long story short, the gemstones are the important part, and they can be removed.
> Rarity: Do we get to keep the gold?
> DM: They'll disappear.
> Rarity: Drat.
> DM: The balloon, the bolt, the diamond, the butterfly, and the apple all float around you. All that's left is the star atop your head.
> Twilight Sparkle: <sigh> I'll miss you… big crown thingy.
