ADVENTURER: Ave, whats going on?<br />

[20.5] FOOLS' EBONY V<br />

CONTESSA: Relax. I think I've impressed them by talking their language. I don't understand<br />

everything, but it seems that they have only just 'woken up' or something. And that they will<br />

not let us take any of this Fool's Ebony -- it's somehow related to the real stuff or something.<br />

And it really belongs to the Lords of Oblivion -- the Dwarves are just care or something.<br />

ADVENTURER: Very interesting. Now, what about us?<br />

CONTESSA: I made a deal with them the only way I could see. I told them about Minnie and<br />

Crunn, how those two old ones know lots of dwarven tales and legends. <strong>The</strong> dwarves tells me<br />

that, having just 'woken up' or something, they want three things -- ale, women, and us to<br />

leave the Fools' Ebony alone.<br />

ADVENTURER: Ah, flog my log.<br />

CONTESSA: Well, I told them about all the ale down at Minnie's Inn. And about the 2<br />

redheads there. <strong>The</strong>y are going there, leaving right now. We may take one empty cart, 2<br />

horses. And they will keep us guarded all the way there. <strong>The</strong>y also said that they will -- I don't<br />

know how -- destroy all the Fool's Ebony here. It shouldn't be on the surface like this, they<br />

say. (aside) Dwarvish is a remarkably compact language.<br />

ADVENTURER: By the great roaring buttocks of Sheogorath! All these blisters and<br />

backache for nothing! Ah well. At least we are still alive. For now ...<br />

(Exeunt) (Enter Prologue)<br />

PROLOGUE: Farnoo Lickety Kanoo Gadfloo. Oh, I'm terribly sorry. As Scene 4 begins, we<br />

are back at Minnie's Inn, where the dwarves appear to be on holiday.<br />

(Enter the Adventurer, the Wanton Contessa, Minnie, Crunn, and Dwarves)<br />

(Exit Prologue)<br />

Scene 4<br />

MINNIE: ... ga ... sszx ... spnoo? ...<br />

CRUNN: ... glurky ...<br />

DWARVES (Together): Jotcha potchka lazzo lanni joopy hoopy qui me amat, amat et canem<br />

meam<br />

ADVENTURER: Ave, any ideas? I can't seem to work my magical items. And when the ale<br />

runs out ...<br />

CONTESSA: Your ebony material is useless against them. Dwarves fashion the ebony, so I<br />

guess they can suppress it or something. Don't worry - just think, these dwarves have been<br />

asleep or something for hundreds of years. And Minnie has a huge stock of ale. Not many<br />
