I wonder if the Elements shouldn't be easier for the cast to get hold of in a dire situation.

I have a message from another time...

Also, if Celestia had tried to flee, then she would've been admitting to The Queen that she was weaker than her (because if she was stronger, then surely she would've stuck around to fight)

and if Tia left to get the elements and managed to evade The Queen, then Chris could've easily taken one or many of the party guests hostage

@Bad

No, the Elements turned Discord to stone and reversed the damage he had done, but they didn't affect anyone else.

Well, let's just say she's a hell of a lot more intimidating that Nightmare Moon (make it night forever? Ooh. Scary.) and a lot more evil than Discord (who wasn't so much evil as insane)

This was pretty funny coming in the middle of a Toph discussion.

She should of just cast Supernova. Take the whole solar system with them.

Yes, the most logical thing to do was what she did. Everyone, including Chrysalis, was shocked when it went awry.

Wait, arn't the elements locked away in a vault that only Tia can open? How the hell could the mane six get to them?

They fight their way through the hoardes and get to the vault and...then what?

Mayhap Celestia taught Twilight how to perform that unlocking spell. As such, Twilight is now the master of unlocking.

@Apple That's my point, I don't think they COULD'VE reached the elements, they were set up to fail by Celestia just to make the queen cocky.

That's what I think anyway (and what do I know)

I don't quite think they were set up to fail; yeah actually getting the elements was a long shot, but the alternate plan in that situation is...what? There wasn't exactly a lot else that they could have attempted at that point.

@JT

Which is why it makes more sense for Celestia to have planned the eventually outcome. Why else send them on a mission doomed to fail rather then have them evacuate as many people as possible and re-group with Luna outside the city?

Again, I think the queen knew about the elements, and if Celestia hadn't at least adressed them (sending the cast to get them) in that situation, then the Queen might've gotten incredibly suspicious and might think that they were hiding them somewhere else.

By sending them off like that, and handing the Queen a vitory, she's making the queen feel all the more sure that she's won.

Lurker, how did you know I was just listening to that?

#168443 storyyeller Sun, 22nd Apr '12 2:48:45 PM from Appleloosa

could the Eo H have cleared away all the Changlings? I mean they seem more like a single target type thing that AOE reverses the damage done by their target.

Remember the Anti-Chaos bubble it produced when fighting Discord? Looks like an AOE cure to me.

@Chada well she couldn't have done anything else. A villain is most dangerous when they think the hero is up to something. If they become complacent, then they're more likely to spare you

There's always a better way.

#168447 storyyeller Sun, 22nd Apr '12 2:51:29 PM from Appleloosa

I don't think Celestia would ever intentionally set up her subjects to fail. There must have been a chance at getting the Eo H.

Like having Twilight teleport through the door?

#168449 L Mage Sun, 22nd Apr '12 2:52:23 PM from The Black Tower

Through the horde of changlings they can't over come, past a door the can't open locked with a lock they can't unlock and back to the throne room surrounded by changlings?

That seems like a major weakness for a mystical super vault to have.
