The guided tour of Elf Land goes directly to jail.

Cast Appearing[]

Setting[]

Script[]

A book is shown, "Elfland on 40 GP A Day."
Fighter Ah, I found us a real travel guide.
We'll track down that pesky black market in no time!
Cut to Fighter standing next to a decorative fountain.
Fighter Let's see now, there's Creepy Half-Nekkid Kid Fountain...
...I think I'll just turn to the next page.
Cut to Fighter, Black Mage, and Thief standing in a picturesque forest.
Fighter Where would you hide a massive criminal syndicate?
How about picturesque Forest of Trees.
Black Mage "Forest of Trees"? That's nearly as inspired as the name "Elfland."
Thief I admit, the Elfland Bureau of Nomenclature could benefit from a bigger budget, but I stand by my earlier donkey-rimmer comment.
Cut to Fighter, Thief, and Red Mage standing around an archery range.
Fighter What about the Royal Academy of Archery, Elfland Campus?
Thief I can't speak for the other criminal masterminds, but I'd rather not have arrows zooming around my head whilst I conduct "my business."
Red Mage This is getting us nowhere. We need action!
Cut to Red Mage talking to an Elf Land Guard.
Red Mage Excuse me, good sir, you appear to be a native.
Mayhaps you could direct me to the nearest elven black market?
Six minutes later...
The Light Warriors are in jail.
Red Mage Don't look at me like that. How was I supposed to know he was a royal guard?!
Black Mage One would think his royal guard uniform would have been the first tip off.
Red Mage Hindsight is always 20/20.
