Still kind of amazed that we're doing this sequence from the show now. "But Spud, aren't you the one who wrote and planned this arc?" Well, you're half right.
Notice: Guest comic submissions are open! Guidelines here. Deadline: January 27th, 2023.
Transcript:
DM: Can I get an Arcana check? With a +4 bonus since your friends are helping you.
Twilight Sparkle: Um... I'm sorry, what is this check for again?
DM: The vines are trying to cocoon you. This is to see if you can successfully TK the Elements into place before that happens.
Twilight Sparkle: Ah, okay. <roll> Looks like a... 31?
DM: Yeah, that'll do it. While you still have vision, you float the Elements towards the tree, dodging the vines. Somehow, you get a faint magical sense of which Element goes to which branch. You place them all successfully and quickly. The central chamber opens up to accept the Element of Magic before closing back around it. All the Elements are now in place.
Rainbow Dash: So... did it work?
DM: These things take a little time.
Rarity: And how much time is that?
DM: ...Just enough to build the slightest amount of tension.
