Script[]
| The Light Warriors are walking through a forest. | |
| Black Mage | Oh ye Gods, we are pathetic. |
| Red Mage | How so? We've been hired to be Light Warriors and we're questing to save the world, and right now we're on our very first sidequest! Yeee! |
| Black Mage | Yeah, this whole sidequest gig is great, let me tell ya. I think my favorite thing about it is the part where we're all poisoned! |
| Red Mage | B.M., It's almost like you have no understanding of adventuring at all. |
| A pie-chart of the Breakdown of EXP. is shown. Three quarters of the pie is labelled "Sidequests", a significant amount of the remaining quarter is labelled "Killing things", a smaller portion is "Solving ancient puzzles" and the smallest portion is "Main quest". Also shown is a bar graph showing experience types. The "Side Quest" is the largest with 503, and the "Main Quest" is only 24. | |
| Red Mage | Without sidequests, you're not on an adventure. You're just a roaming band of thugs who bring terror and death to an otherwise innocent and peaceful world. The noble sidequest is what separates us from the monsters. Life is a sidequest! Seize the EXP! |
| Black Mage | Yes, but... your face is stupid! |
| Red Mage | Alas, it is the secret, private agony of all who min/max... we bear the burden of a low charisma score! |
| Black Mage | Newsflash: Your ugliness ain't a private pain, it hurts us all-booya! |
| Black Mage | (writing in his notescroll) Man, I'm so damn funny! |
| Red Mage | Well, if we're done making fun of me-- |
| Black Mage | For now. |
| Red Mage | --I'd like to say that Fighter appears to have mastered his armoire. |
| Fighter | Oh yeah, carrying this thing is a breeze now that I'm fully supporting its weight with only my spine. |
| Red Mage | But isn't that painful? |
| Fighter | You have no idea. |
