CUT TO: THE REALM OF IHIOSADORE
EXT. MARSHLANDS - NIGHT
A MAN WALKS ALONG A PATHWAY IN A MARSH AT NIGHT USING A SMALL LAMP TO KEEP THE PATHWAY LIT.
[Unknown Man#1]
(To himself)
I just have to keep going. It's around here somewhere. If only I hadn't lost that map. Those ingrates should have been happy that I even agreed to this whole bothersome journey in the first place. Although, what's at stake surely couldn't be allowed to enter their grubby hands in the first place. If I remember correctly, I should make a left up here. Or... was it a right?
THE MAN FINDS A CLEARING THAT LEADS TO ANOTHER PATH AND STARTS TO TRAVEL ALONG IT.
[Unknown Man#1]
And just like that, I'm back on track. I knew a good attitude would do me some good. Even if I had to let loose a few epithets here and there.
BEFORE PROCEEDING DOWN THE PATH THE MAN HEARS SOMEONE BEHIND HIM SNAP AND A TRAIL OF FIRE FORMS IN FRONT OF HIM. THE MAN CHUCKLES AS HE TURNS TO FACE THE PEOPLE PURSUING HIM.
[Unknown Man#1]
I figured that you guys would have caught up to me sooner or later but doing it this quickly makes you seem kind of desperate. You couldn't have given me just a little bit longer to get my ducks in order?
[Unknown Woman#1]
I hope you didn't think that you had gotten rid of us that easily. After all, we were supposed to find this place together... Maxwell.
TO̅MI OBSERVES THE EVENTS FROM A TREE LOOKING AT MAXWELL WITH AN IRRITATED EXPRESSION.
[To̅mi]
(Thinking)
Here I was thinking I was supposed to be the student. Maxwell, you've gotten yourself into it this time. Let's just hope there's a way out.

INT. TAVERN - NIGHT
MAXWELL STUMBLES BACK TOWARD HIS SEAT IN THE BAR WHEN HE BUMPS INTO A WAITRESS. IN A DRUNKEN STOOPER MAXWELL GROPES THE WAITRESS AND SHE THROWS HIM OFF OF HERSELF.
[Maxwell]
(Drunkenly)
My, my, Kathy. I tell you what, if there were a spell to make pillows as soft as your breasts everyone across the universe would get a good night's sleep.
[Kathleen]
It's a shame you still haven't learned how to handle your liquor, Maxwell.
[Maxwell]
(Drunkenly)
I'd get a way better handle on it if it were—!
[Kathleen]
Not another word, Maxwell!
[Maxwell]
(Drunkenly)
Oh, come on, Kathy.
[Kathleen]
It's Kathleen.
[Maxwell]
(Drunkenly)
I suppose it's okay when Burnbridge does it though.
[Kathleen]
Burnbridge is my boss but more importantly, he's not an imbecile.
