Script[]
| Thief | So who are you? |
| Raven | Raven. |
| Thief | And why are you here? |
| Raven | To trick death. |
| Raven | Actually, that's happening, well, your four-dimensional brain couldn't comprehend a word for it, so we'll just say that it's happening "elsewhere." |
| Thief | Ah. Why do I feel like that didn't answer my question? |
| Raven | Let's start this over. (becomes a totem) I'm Raven, the local totemistic representation of trickery. I've entered into a mostly legit contract to bring you back from the brink of death. |
| Thief | I see. There's one problem though. |
| Thief | I'm an elf. We believe the gods made themselves in our image because we're so damn good lookin'. I don't believe in a totem-based divinity. |
| Raven | Hey, neither does that Cleric kid, but he ain't picky. And you shouldn't either. |
| Thief | Why's that? |
| Raven | Without my help, you'll be stuck here forever. |
| Pans out to Thief's surroundings, filled with mounds of golden money... | |
| Thief | You don't know me very well, do you. |
