This strikes me as an incredibly "adventurer" thing to do... "Oh, is danger approaching any day now? Time to explore one last loose end that was important to me and no one else!"
Transcript:
DM: Sooo... you're not currently in danger yet. All you really know is that presumably, after he finishes with Canterlot, Tirek will come looking for you. What do you do-slash-plan in the meantime?
Applejack: Set up some kinda trap? Maybe an ambush?
Twilight Sparkle: Given Tirek's strength and Discord's trickery, I don't think that's a realistic option. Actually, what I'm kinda worried about is... They're definitely gonna come to Ponyville next, and there's still villagers only just recovering from Discord's chaos. Can we, like, evacuate or barricade them temporarily...?
Fluttershy: We can do that while you hide somewhere else.
DM: And where will Twilight go to lay low?
Twilight Sparkle: Maybe... the Everfree Forest? The old castle back there?
Pinkie Pie: Ooooh! Where it all began!
Rarity: How thematic!
Applejack: Actually, if we have a little time... Maybe we can all check out that ol' castle real quick?
Twilight Sparkle: You think that'll help?
Applejack: Ah think it can't hurt, and it'll pass the time.
Rainbow Dash: Ponyville has a mayor, right? We can just make HER organize the evacuation.
Rarity: It IS nicer not to have to do everything ourselves.
Twilight Sparkle: Alright then, nevermind! I guess we're going on a field trip!
