Treasure with important item inside, empty.

Or NS could one-up by doing that ref on Page 1222.
I like to think that the Elements were in the chest, up until the exact moment when Celestia unlocked the door, thus breaking the seal that would normally prevent anyone from magically stealing them. Because Discord was waiting in that room, invisible, for her to do exactly that, and then he'd taunt her.
Makes sense. He's right there in the window to taunt them. They were all pretty focused on the princess, nobody would have seen the Q Flash.
It's certainly a sensible theory, but I always simply figured that powerful chaos magic needs special wards (since it would be far too predictable to be stopped by normal wards) and Celestia forgot to put such wards in place. I don't think there's any entity in Equestria other than Discord who wields powerful chaos magic, and he was supposed to be a statue.
Pardon, but frames 3 and 4 seem reversed in my reading (or Twilight's gone precog)
It's not guessing, it's being Genre Savvy, it's her most consistent method of annoying her GM.
Panel five reminds me of a short-lived sci-fi tv show.
Comic Relief Robot: "Attention, a hostile battle cruiser is approaching. If anyone needs me, FORGET IT."

President Lindberg: "Okay. There's a ball of fire, it's 1200 miles in diameter heading straight for Earth, and we have no idea how to stop it. *That's* the problem."
Korben Dallas: [sighs] "How long do we have?"
Scientist's Aide: [off the President's look] "If its speed remains constant, in an hour and fifty-seven minutes."
Korben Dallas: "I'll call you back in two hours."
If you rewatch this scene, Celestia watches Pinkie walk away as they are staring shocked at the chest. She's the only one who does. It's kind of weird, she doesn't even turn her head to look.
I hate when players call out a trope before it happens. It just makes me feel stupid for being predictable.
Nothing wrong with letting them feel clever. Being clever is a dangerous thing.
Remember, it's only one tweak between being Genre Savvy and being Wrong Genre Savvy...

It is a nice chest... how devalued are gems in equestria though, considering the tunnels and fields nearby ponyville with them and the number of dresses rarity makes with gems are they basically rinestones for them?
There has to be *some* value to them or they wouldn't have been worth using for the Elusive transaction Rarity gathered them for.
Personal headcanon/handwave is that the best gem sources are in Diamond Dogs territory and they don't share lightly. There are other seams and sources but they just aren't as good/accessible.

If Twi knew there was nothing in the case, why has her jaw dropped?
Well, the player knew the chest will be empty. Not the character. :)
