| Just outside the gates of Prontera. | |
| Red Mage | Well, looks like we've made it to Prontera. |
| Fighter | They must spend a lot of money on landscaping. This place looks 32-bit! |
| Black Mage | 32-bit? BAH! That's the kind of crazy talk I'd expect from a mental defect like yourself. Everyone knows that the gods are only made of sixteen. What could possibly occupy this alleged thirty-two bit realm? |
| Fighter | I dunno. Don't the gods believe in something? |
| Black Mage | Yeah, zapping people who ask questions with big answers. So shush. |
| A 16-bit ram-demon with a scythe suddenly appears. | |
| Baphomet |  Ahem. Excuse me, gentlemen.
|
| Thief jumps to the back of the group, leaving Black Mage in front of the demon. | |
| Black Mage | (thinking) I hate Thief. |
| Baphomet | I am Baphomet--Lord of Demons! I have come to this pathetic mortal plane on behalf of Chaos. I am looking for the Light Warriors that I may slay them before they gain power to stand against my master! It was foretold that they would be here. Are you they? |
| Fighter | Oh yeah, we're the-- (Black Mage covers Fighter's mouth) mrph mahbulas. |
| Black Mage | Shut up! |
| Black Mage | You'll have to excuse him, he's an idiot. He meant to say is that the Light Warriors are hiding in this very town. |
| Baphomet | Then I must burn this city to the ground. |
| Black Mage | Well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. |
