| Just outside the gates of Prontera. | |
| Villagers | (Off panel) My arms are sliced off and now he's going after you! ARRRRGH, he's stabbing me! Tsk, well I told you! Penny, Peter, Paul, Pjoe! Run for it! |
| Black Mage | (Massive "ARRRRRRGH!" in the background behind Black Mage) Wait a second. What the hell kind of name is "Pjoe" anyway? |
| Villagers | I told you to run, why didn't you ru-GHKKKK! |
| Red Mage | Well, it's quite simple, really. Or rather, it would be simple to anyone with the Lore: Local History or Area Knowledge: Cornerian States skills. Or, in lieu of those skills per se, perhaps the Jack of All Trades merit. |
| Red Mage | Prontera was founded by the "P-ans." It's been a Pronteran tradition to give their children P-names so they wouldn't forget their exodus. But after 500 years, I guess it's just a tradition people follow without thinking about it. |
| Villagers | Look out, he's using laser eye beams! But we haven't invented lasers yet! |
| Baphomet | We have. |
| Villagers | (KZZZZAT sound) YEAAAURGH! |
| Baphomet | Enough! This method of killing weak, fleshy sacks is too inefficient. I must destroy this wretched city of Prontera and all who dwell in it so that I may be certain that the Light Warriors are no more. Therefore, I shall transform my very essence into raw obliteration to ensure victory! |
| Baphomet | I can only hope those four warriors outside the city gates were telling the truth, else my ultimate sacrifice will be for naught! |
| Thief | Now would be a good time to run for our lives. |
| Red Mage | AGREED! |
