Looking for new ways to deliver that pesky but necessary exposition? Give it to only one player and let them deliver it to the rest of the party in-character!

Twilight Sparkle: Here’s where we’re at: I’ve been given a map of the mountain. There are multiple branching paths ahead, so I’m planning out the best possible route for our ascent to the top.

Fluttershy: Um… The TOP of the mountain? All the way up?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes. There’s a cavern near the peak where the dragon’s made its nest. We need to get there by nightfall, so we won’t have time for any extended rests.

Rainbow Dash: Darn. I was planning on taking a nap at “freezing cold, thin air” altitude.

Rarity: You HAD to remind me. Good thing I packed some scarves, then.

Twilight Sparkle: Look, if we take too much time getting up the mountain, the damage to Equestria’s skies will be more difficult to overcome. Any questions?

Applejack: Yeah. When did ya become the DM’s mouthpiece?

Rainbow Dash: Probably when she spent an HOUR here with only the DM for company.

DM: Hey!
