Script[]
| Black Mage | You can't be serious about going with them. |
| Thief | Why not? We need to travel around the world and they've got a ship. I'm just an average forest elf with no real knowledge of sea travel, but I know that's one big boat and it's got a ton of blankets. |
| Bikke | The technical name be "sheets". |
| Vilbert | Prithee, oh captain my captain, but aren't they hitherto "sails". |
| Switch to Bikke's field sprite and a burning ship. | |
| Bikke | Look 'ere, Sonny Jim. I've sunk more boats than the fabled gnomatic sinking machine what is nuthin' more than a large stone with many smaller stones attached as well as a liberal application of fire. |
| Bikke | I do be thinking I knows what sails be. |
| Vilbert | You mean "sheets". |
| Bikke | Ye mutinous dog. |
| Garland | Gentlemen, gentlemen. |
| Garland peeks in. | |
| Garland | Er, that is, hey, ye guys, keel haul ye argumenting. Um, yar. |
| Black Mage | These are the Dark Warriors. Tell me you know that. You're the only one I can talk to as something like an equal. Don't take that from me. |
| Thief | Oh, Black Mage. You and your paranoid delusions. "These are Dark Warriors." "White Mage likes me." "Thief is trying to rob us of our very souls." |
| Black Mage | Wait, I only think that last one out of fear of you. I've never said it out loud. |
| Thief | Oh, I steal souls and secrets. |
| Black Mage's eyes become tiny out of fear. | |
