Script[]
| Fighter | I can't wait until we get to the Temple of Fiends! I'll bet Garland has about a million swords! Can you imagine? He'd need to have like a hundred arms just to hold them all! |
| Black Mage | Keep up this incessant rambling, and they'll all be penetrating your larynx shortly following our arrival. |
| Red Mage | Halt! Ready your weapons, fellow warriors. We are about to face the wrath of... |
| Red Mage | (towards a horse) A Madpony! |
| Thief | Umm...you sure that's not just a regular horse? |
| Red Mage | Nonsense! Says right here: Madpony, 64 HP, 10 STR, 53 EXP... |
| Fighter | I don't want to hurt the little horsie. |
| Black Mage | Pansy. |
| Red Mage | Fighter! Use your swords! |
| Fighter | Swords!? I'd love to! |
| Red Mage | Black Mage! Fir2! |
| Black Mage | Excellent. |
| Red Mage | Thief! Umm...steal its horseshoes, or something. |
| Thief | *sigh* |
| Red Mage | 63 EXP, here I come! |
| The party attacks the horse, while Red Mage watches gloatingly... | |
| Black Mage | Job's finished. |
| Red Mage | Odd...no change in EXP on my character sheet... |
| The farmer appears, enraged upon seeing his dead horse. | |
| Farmer | (brandishing his pitchfork) Wut in tarnation 'av y'all gone done ta mah horse, gosh dernit!? |
| Red Mage | Run away! |
| Some time later... | |
| Thief | So, Fighter, having averted the farmer's impending wrath, would you care to discuss the future ownership of his right boot? |
| Fighter | Would I ever! |
| Black Mage | You do realise that that's your left foot... |
| Red Mage | Cut the small talk, guys. I think I just spotted a Manticor. |
| Cat | Mew |
