Script[]
Thief | This is not what I had in mind when I began my quest. How did I travel so far only to arrive where it all began? Er, in the jail of the place where it all began, anyway. |
Black Mage | What do you mean I'm the cutest one?! You can't even see my face! |
Fighter | Therein lies your advantage, BM. |
Black Mage | If anything, Thief should do it. He's got those rogue-ish good looks after all. |
Thief | I knew these guys were stupid enough to easily manipulate... |
Black Mage | He seems a little Elfish to me anyway. He's probably used to it. |
Thief | That's why I joined them. I figured this whole "Light Warrior" schtick would be a great cover for my ulterior motives, but how could I have known that they'd be so stupid as to set me so far back? I only pray that it's not too late to save my father... |
Dr. Malpractice | Hello, Chancellor Usurper. |
Astos | Greetings, Doctor. How are our patients on this fine day? |
Dr. Malpractice | Our illustrious king, Sire of the Khee'Bler clan, suffers still. He is bedridden and hardly aware of the world around him. |
Astos | What of our prince? |
Dr. Malpractice | Er ah, the prince? Why his condition has continued to deteriorate. Yeah. |
Astos | And you have spared no expense in your valiant search for a cure, I trust? |
Dr. Malpractice | Naturally, my Elfocratic oath would allow for nothing less! Alas, the prince's condition boggles even my medical training. |
Astos | Excellent. The best revolutions are the ones that are state approved! |
And if neither Father nor Son is fit to take the Throne within a Year and a Day, the Rulership of all the Lands of Elf shall pass unto he who is Chancellor. | |
Astos | I shall see to it personally that the new Sahn'Ta Clan government rewards you most handsomely for your efforts, Doctor. |
Dr. Malpractice | I already have been... |
Astos | What was that, Doctor? |
Dr. Malpractice | Er, I said that this will be a new glorious day for the elves of Sahn'Ta. |
