Sprout carefully calibrates the telescope and looks around, taking in the rest of the town first before scanning the horizon. Something on it caught his eye, so he shifted the telescope back to that unique point.
Why was it so bright? Oh for Celestia's sake that's the sun! QUIT LOOKING AT IT!
Sprout cries out in pain, realizing he's managed to blind himself in the one eye. Perhaps journeying wasn't for him. Plus, he should probably get his eye checked out back at home. Chess wasn't worth this.
Sprout makes his way home quietly, returning the book and shrugging off the mystery. He just wasn't cut out for adventuring.
Fate has decided that Equestria shall remain safe.
Feel free to move on to the better roll if you wish!
