Despite not being the sharpest tools in the shed, Red Mage is adding Stake Summoner to his list of feats while Fighter plays Harvest Moon. I won't even go into what's happening to Black Mage.

Script[]
| Thief and Red Mage are still arguing in front of Vilbert's house. | |
| Thief | Let's reassess the situation. Black Mage, our heavy artillery, is out. |
| Shift to Black Mage, standing in front of the darkness waving his hands around. | |
| Black Mage | Yeah, sword-chucks. Yeah! It'd be just like having two swords, but you could wield them both with one hand. And there's the added benefit of having no control over either of them! Of course it's a great idea, it all makes sense to me now. I was a fool to ever doubt it. A bumbling fool, I tell you! |
| Thief | Fighter, our meatshield, is otherwise occupied. |
| Shift to Fighter now, standing in front of a cattle field, trying to attract the cows to approach the fence. | |
| Fighter | I just need two cows to be impaled and set on fire. C'mon, just step forward to volunteer. Okay, just mill around aimlessly to volunteer. Thanks! |
| Thief | And your idiotic gambit failed miserably. |
| Red Mage | It's not my fault he failed to recognize my genius. |
| Red Mage | I find that often happens when you work on as many levels as I do. |
| Beat panel. Thief looks down in silence. | |
| Thief | Yeah.... I'm sure that's something like a problem for you... |
| Red Mage | Indeed. Unfortunately for Vilbert, I'm going to have to get significantly more blunt. |
| Thief | But we're really more of a sword and knife group. |
| Red Mage | (Zoom up) That we are, Thief. But that won't be a problem. We're fighting a vampire, so we need to drive a stake through its heart. |
| Red Mage | (Raising arms) We need only call upon the mightiest stake in all the land! |
