[20.4] FOOLS' EBONY IV
ARMORER 3: So continue with your arrangements, work with Nephron. You can always
leave word about your departure date with any weapons shop. And about any problems you
may have ...
ADVENTURER: Certainly, gentlemen. Yes, you are indeed very persuasive. I shall keep you
up to date. And, er...thanks for the protection.
(Enter ORTHO, the very large apprentice) (The Adventurer is untied) (Exeunt Five Armorers)
ADVENTURER: Hello, who are you?
ORTHO: Me am Ortho!
ADVENTURER: My ... protection?
ORTHO: Me am Ortho!
ADVENTURER: You look very familiar to me for some reason. Have you every been to
Morrowind?
ORTHO: Me am Ortho!
ADVENTURER: Fine then. (aside) My old man used to say the very worst thing that can
happen to a fellow is an evening spent in the company of an earnest politician. This, I think, is
a close second.
(Exeunt the Adventurer and Ortho) (Enter Epilogue)
EPILOGUE: Our play has six parts, and we've just finished the fourth. It's interesting I think
that the Lusty Contessa has not made an appearance yet. You don't suppose our playwrite
forgot he put her in the Dramatis Personae, do you? Well, you'll only know if you come back
for The Fools' Ebony, Part the Fiveth. And if your neighbor decides not to return, don't tell
him what happened. We actors have to make a living too, you know. Don't forget to tip your
wenches while we change the scene.
(Exit Epilogue)
So Endeth Part The Fourth
