(Enter Prologue)<br />

Part <strong>The</strong> Threeth - In <strong>The</strong> Mages' Guild, One to Three Days Later<br />

PROLOGUE: We are now at the halfway point of our disjointed epic. If you are just arriving,<br />

you have missed little. <strong>The</strong> Adventurer, our rogue Dark Elf, has joined with a quadripartite<br />

(that's a triumvirate plus one) of priests intent on discovering a burning metal called Fools'<br />

Ebony and becoming wealthy. <strong>The</strong> priests have given our hero some gold for bribing<br />

merchants, but the only people who know where the Fools' Ebony is are the mages of the<br />

Mages' Guild. As the Epilogue pointed out at the end of Part the Twoth, there is no such thing<br />

as Fools' Ebony and real Ebony is not mined. Something our playwrite apparently did not<br />

research. Well, accept it as high fantasy, if you will. Or whatever. Hark, here comes our hero<br />

now. Imagine the miasma (if that's the word I want) of magical elixirs, bubbling cauldrons,<br />

hovering balls of sparkling whatnot. And now, the Prologue must depart.<br />

(Enter the Adventurer and SHUB)<br />

ADVENTURER: Ho! Anyone around?<br />

SHUB: Over here, young man, in the corner ...<br />

ADVENTURER: Morning. Do I call you ... Shub ..?
