Script[]
| The Light Warriors are still in the forest near the cave. | |
| Red Mage | On the bright side, we've probably gotten the grossest part of this adventure over with. |
| Black Mage | Yeah, I mean how many caves can there possibly be that incorporate human skulls into their decor? |
| Fighter looks back toward the cave. | |
| Meanwhile, at Jack's Discount Human Skulls Factory... | |
| A high-tech lab can be seen. On some monitors a chart labeled "Human Skull Sales" can be seen spiking upward. Another monitor says: "Order Invoice: 10,000 units Bill to: City and County of Neverwinter" | |
| Jack | Jenkins, we're going to have to step up production to meet this newest order. You know what that means. Hit the docks and take the hobo population down a notch or two. |
| Jenkins | Aye! |
| Back to the forest sans Fighter. | |
| Black Mage | So. Let's get movin', shall we? |
| Thief | Fighter went back into the cave. |
| Black Mage | (looks to his right and notices Fighter missing) And after we officially declared that we'd never go into that cave again. That's a shame. He will be missed. |
| Black Mage | Like throat cancer. |
| Black Mage | Guess we'll have to pack up and leave him beh--why are you looking at me like that? |
| Red Mage | We have to go back and get him. |
| Black Mage | Are you kidding me? Do you know what kind of freak-cave it would have to be if it's got human skulls lying around?! This is exactly the chance that I--er--we... hm, no, definitely just me. Anyway, he's gone and, let's face it, probably dead by now. Let us not waste out precious time and organs in a futile search for his slain body. |
| Black Mage | You know what they say, "The corpse you find may be your own." |
| Thief | "They" do not say that. |
| Black Mage | Well, mind you it is hard to speak with six inches of knife sticking out of your face. Mostly they just gurgle. And bleed. |
