Quest #1: Dazzling Convention

Rarity: "Dear Diary... What a tremendously exciting week it has been! The excitement all started at the Equestrian Geological and Gemological Society convention -- or E.G.G.S., for short."

Rarity: "I like to attend and see what new gemstones have been discovered, so I can use them in my designs!"

Rarity: "So I readied myself to explore the convention, unaware that soon I'd be pulled into a thrilling adventure!"

Quest 2: Exploration Attire

Rarity: "... All that said, I DID take a quick detour to the local hat shop to pick up a proper adventuring outfit. Just because one is unaware that an adventure is imminent is no excuse to be unprepared!"

Battle Stages

Rarity: "It all began during Professor Deep Strata's talk on Recent Developments in Spelunkery, when I happened to run into--"

Rarity: Maud Pie! Darling! How good to see you. You are studying for your rocktorate in rock science, correct? Isn't this lecture simply RIVETING?

Maud Pie: Yes. It's absolutely thrilling.

Professor Deep Strata: ... As my theories predicted, a large cave system beneth the Crystal Mountain Range has recently been uncovered!

Professor Deep Strata: I'm too busy with other expeditions to explore the caves myself -- so the pony that DOES explore them will receive full credit for the discovery!

Rarity: Did you hear that, Maud? YOU could explore those caves! It would be HUGE for your academic career! Come on, then! Let's tell Professor Strata you'll go explore them!

Maud Pie: Oh, wow. That's sounds like the best idea.

Rarity: ... Maud, dear, you do realize you should go up on stage and TALK to her if you want to--- Here: Allow me! Professor Strata? My friend Maud, here, is planning to explore those caves you talked about!

Maud Pie must be so smart to study for a rocktorate! I wonder if she knows which gems taste best...

• Rarity is recommended to reach Level 2 on either piece to beat this boss (with only Twilight Sparkle is active).

Maud Pie: Yes. Spelunking is my burning passion.

Professor Deep Strata: Well! In that case, I wish you the best of--

Buried Treasure: NOT SO FAST! I'll be the first to explore those caves, thank you! It's not as though "Mud" Pie will be any REAL competition... though I'll be sure to invite her to the museum they open in my honor!

Rarity: Who's THAT?

Maud Pie: Buried Treasure. She's another rock science student. She's tried to take credit for every single one of my discoveries. ... And she's basically my eternal nemesis.

Rarity: THAT FIEND! No uncouth upstart will defeat a friend of mine!

Rarity: See here, you arrogant archaeologist: My friend Maud is going to explore the caves FIRST! She's going to write an AMAZING paper on them! AND she is going to crush you beneath her elegant hoof!

Hmph... Gotta say, Buried Treasure sounds pretty terrible to be around. I'm rooting for Maud Pie and Rarity on this one!

• Rarity is recommended to reach level 11 on both pieces to beat this boss, given that no helpers are active.

Rarity: "Maud and I were now involved in a race for discovery. It was TERRIBLY thrilling! (And thank goodness for that adventuring outfit I'd purchased earlier...)"

Rarity: "Yet, upon reaching the local airfield, we were met with the first of many obstacles to come..."

Rarity: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Why is the last airship leaving now? There won't be another ship going that way for DAYS!

Maud Pie: Maybe somepony else is going to the Crystal Mountains... Like that pony over there. Are you a pilot?

Balloon Pilot Pony: Ayup.

Maud Pie: Can you fly us to the Crystal Mountains?

Balloon Pilot Pony: Nope.

Maud Pie: Well, I did my best.

Rarity: (Aheh...) Maud, dear... Allow ME to try for a bit. I say, my good pilot! We are but two poor ponies engaged in a race for scientific discovery! Would you be so kind as to assist us...?

I didn't know there was such thing as an archaeological emergency! Rarity wasn't kidding -- this is exciting stuff!

• Rarity is recommended to reach level 18 on both pieces to beat this boss, given that no helpers are active.

Rarity: "In the end, the pilot was willing to take us halfway there... and Maud and I had a good talk. She has a very... direct way of speaking, but she's still hard to read sometimes."

Rarity: "At any rate, we made it to Cantertine in record time -- and we even had a stroke of luck! There were storms over the Crystal Mountains -- sure to delay Buried Treasure and her team!"

Rarity: "The race wasn't over yet! We explored the city, trying to find transportation. Naturally, I did most of the negotiating with the locals..."

Aw, Rarity... She's really coming through for Maud, here! She's so charismatic...

• Rarity is recommended to reach level 33 on both pieces to beat this boss, given that no helpers are active.

Rarity: "... Until, finally, we found a rickety hay-cart headed the right way -- towards the Crystal Mountains!"

Rarity: "Many more obstacles stood between us and our goal -- some of them too ludicrous to describe in detail! (The tiger wasn't NEARLY so smartly dressed as the following passage might imply, for instance...)"

I had no idea rock science was this dangerous. Maud Pie and Rarity sure are brave!

• Rarity is recommended to reach level 49 on both pieces to beat this boss, given that no helpers are active.

Rarity: "Until, at last, we came to the mine where the caves had been discovered! But to our shock and dismay, a certain archnemesis had already beaten us to it..."

Buried Treasure: Ah, Maud... Again, we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away. The caves are MINE now -- and there's nothing you can do about it!

Rarity: "And just like that, she and her henchponies set fire to the bridge between us and the cave entrance, leaving us stranded! I tried to stop her with all my might..."

Oh no... Buried Treasure really burned down that bridge! And after Maud Pie and Rarity worked so hard...

• Rarity is recommended to reach level 65 on both pieces to beat this boss, given that no helpers are active.

Rarity: "But in the end... that was the end of this adventure. Maud and I are stuck on the wrong side of this abyss, while Buried Treasure no doubt plunders the caves below..."

Rarity: Maud, dear... I think we ought to head back home. I'm afraid we've lost... Well, I suppose it's not THAT much of a loss. You certainly don't seem too sad about it...

Maud Pie: ...

Rarity: I suppose it'll make for an exciting chapter in my diary, at least. Let's see what I last wrote...

Rarity: “Dear diary, this has been an amazingly incredible week! I was so nervous about going to the convention. Thank goodness I ran into my friend Rarity!”

Rarity: Oh my - this isn't MY diary! I'm so sorry, Maud, I didn't mean to pry! It's just... YOUR diary looks so much like MINE, and--

Maud Pie: Read it. You can read my diary. It's okay. Maybe... it'll help you understand...

Rarity: Well, all right... Let's see: "So lucky to have such an outgoing and generous friend..." "Wish I could be more open with my feelings, like Rarity..." "Thank goodness Rarity was there...!"

Rarity: Maud, I... I'm so sorry! I didn't realize how much this meant to you -- how much I'VE meant to you! Now I feel even WORSE that you didn't get to the caves...

Maud Pie: Well, it's like you said. I don't express myself very well. I do have feelings... I just don't show them much. Except in my diary.

Maud Pie: But... we CAN still beat them. There are several ancient lava tunnels running through this area that have direct routes down to the lowest caves. In fact, I think there's one right... here. Follow me.

Each and every creature expresses their emotions differently, huh... I hear that.

• Rarity is recommended to reach level 81 on both pieces to beat this boss, given that no helpers are active.

Maud Pie: Hm. This is the most gorgeous place I've ever seen.

Rarity: It IS beautiful, isn't it...? Simply magnificent!

Buried Treasure: WHAT?! H-how did you get here before us?

Rarity: Well, Ms. Treasure... I suppose we have something you don't...

Maud Pie: PASSION.

• Rarity doesn't glow in this stage and it is stay until the LTS ends.
  

(When this LTS event ended.)

I never would have guessed that these caves were here... and that buried far below the surface is such beauty!

I guess there are beautiful things buried everywhere.

Indeed! And thank YOU for helping me find one!

"And with that, our adventure to the Crystal Caves was truly over -- and Maud's NEXT adventure, of cataloging all the rocks, gems, and crystals, had just begun!"
