| 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. |
