Black Mage	Okay, let's pile into Fighter's guts.
Thief	No one is cocooning himself in Fighter's body. Not yet.
Black Mage	Nature has given us this bounty, it would be a crime to let it go to waste.
Thief	I think nature's working up a mage flavored bounty.
Fighter	I'm still alive. I'm only bleeding to death at the moment.
Black Mage	Look at what your inaction has wrought. He's alive. Had we blindly listened to my rantings, we'd have gutted him by now and everything would be great. And warm.
Thief	Doesn't it occur to you that this plan is incredibly short sighted?
Black Mage	In what way?
Thief	Fighter's organs, as meaty as they may be, won't outlast the cold.
Black Mage	The way I see it, there's also you and Red Mage.
Black Mage	That'll give me a couple of days to figure out a way to save all the survivors.
Thief	Consisting entirely of yourself.
Red Mage	(from the top right) Or we could listen to our very own tactical genius!
Black Mage and Thief turns to face Red Mage.
Black Mage	Did you hire a new guy without telling me?
Thief	I think he means himself.
Black Mage	Oh. Oh, that's so sad.
Red Mage	(thinking) I'm getting a headache...
