{{Matoya|I hope I haven't '''poisoned''' your opinions of me!<br>Because I'd hate to have '''poisoned''' our future dealings.<br>Bwa ha hahahaha... oh!<br>Ooh, ooh! Guess my favorite '80s band. Go on, '''guess'''.}}
|-
{{Black Mage|Gee, I don't know. Could it be... '''Poison'''?}}
|-
{{Matoya|No, it's '''Warrant'''! Guwa hahahaha!}}
|-
{{Matoya|{{Directive|rolling on floor, laughing}} Oh Gods, my wit is absolutely '''poisonous'''!}}
|-
{{Thief|A more '''accurate''' statement I have not heard in recent memory.}}

{{Matoya|Oh, I'm sorry boys, really.<br>It's just that I '''am''' a witch and, well, honestly I don't get many hapless passersby 'round these parts.<br>Y'know, what with the giants and the werewolves and all.}}
|-
{{Matoya|But seriously I've poisoned you for a reason.}}
|-

{{Thief|Reward, eh?}}
|-

{{Narrative|Fighter falls to the ground with Red Mage's sword, Thief's dagger and Black Mage's knife in his back.}}

{{Red Mage|--Quest XP! It's like leveling up for free!}}

{{Thief|--Money! It's like stealing for free!}}

{{Black Mage|If you have to ask why '''my''' knife is also in his back, then you're not paying attention.}}
