Story time! Tell a story about players struck with fear.
Transcript:DM: I know this came as a surprise, so feel free to discuss your next course of action. Just let me know what your final decision is.
Fluttershy: In that case… I vote that I just stay here. Then I won’t get in anyone’s way… and I won’t slow anyone down.
Rainbow Dash: No freaking way! No one’s getting left behind, end of story.
Pinkie Pie: Remember, you’ve got WINGS! You can fly over ALL the trouble!
Fluttershy: But if I fly, that just puts me in more danger. And if I have to deal with that the whole way up…
Pinkie Pie: Hehe, wow… A pegasus that’s afraid of heights! Who woulda thought?
Rarity: Falling damage is no joke.
Rainbow Dash: C’mon. Just fly up, get to solid ground, and move on. It’s that simple.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, I’m completely lost. What exactly is the problem here?
Applejack: All this talk of fallin’ from the sky has got our little druid nervous. Everythin’ that snore hits goes prone, right? If yer prone to go… prone at any time, better to keep all four hooves on the ground. That way y’all avoid falling damage. Now hear me out. You mentioned a long way around, right? I’ll escort Fluttershy along that path, and we’ll all meet up at the next junction.
Twilight Sparkle: But… that’ll take more time, won’t it?
Applejack: You’ll just spend more time forcin’ her to do somethin’ she’s scared of. This way ain’t perfect, but it’ll cause the least fuss for now. Trust me.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, but… The more time we use up, the more the smoke will spread…
Rainbow Dash: You’re actually worried about that?
