Scrapped line (because the bubble covered up too much):

Pinkie Pie (delayed until the very end): …came from inside the house…

In this gag’s most initial form, I thought maybe Discord was waiting outside and his entrance was him coming through the front door (due to concerns about being overheard on the phone while only a few walls away). But honestly, the image of him waiting patiently in the master bedroom this whole time is just more hilarious to me, on a level I don’t quite understand.

DM: While you freak out about your missing appendages, a swirl of green magic appears in front of the maze entrance, growing larger and larger until… Just a second… HEY! GET IN HERE! IT’S TIME!

Twilight Sparkle: Pardon me?

Applejack: …Oh no…

SFX: (FLASH!)

(beat)

Discord: MUHUHAHAHAHAA!!

SFX: (CRACKLE) (BOOM)

Pinkie Pie: The call…

Rarity: What in the world is that outfit?

Twilight Sparkle: You were HERE the whole time?!

Rainbow Dash: This is overkill.

Discord: And it was all worth it, just to see the looks on your faces! Priceless!
