Scene 3: Tech Support Forum
Ephesos is still rushing around trying to keep all of his patients alive. Dintiradan and Dikiyoba are making healing, curing, and energy potions and elixirs.
Dikiyoba: Dikiyoba has completed an energy elixir, Ephesos.
Ephesos: Thank you.
Ephesos drinks the elixir and hands the bottle back to Dikiyoba.
Ephesos: Now make another one.
Imban enters.
Imban: Are any of your patients healed up enough to fight in the Exile Trilogy Forum?
Ephesos points to a group of about twenty newbs. They have washed and found their clothes again. They all look worn out, skinny, and pale.
Imban: Come along, newbs. There's still a battle to be won.
The newbs look at each other and mutter among themselves. They don't move.
Imban: Come now, or I'll call out Arctic Wolf.
The newbs look at each other and mutter again. This time, they stand up and move out resignedly. Ephesos watches them exit and sighs.
Ephesos: I hate this war.
Imban: We all do, Ephesos, but we have no other choice.
Imban exits.
Dintiradan: Hey! My hands are turning colors from all this alchemy. They're blue and black and yellow and green and brown and red and...
Dikiyoba: Dikiyoba thinks you need to watch that potion that you are boiling.
Ephesos: Quit staring at your hands and get that potion off the burner now!
Dintiradan: Yaaagh!
Dintiradan and Dikiyoba both duck out of the way as a curing potion Dintiradan let overheat explodes. Ephesos hands Dintiradan a mop.
Ephesos: Clean it up, Dintirdan. Dikiyoba, go gather more herbs.
Dikiyoba exits. Dintiradan grumbles as he mops up the potion mess. Ephesos casts a healing spell on a newb's slashed arm and sends him out to join the others in the Exile Trilogy Forum.
Dikiyoba: Dikiyoba has completed an energy elixir, Ephesos.
Ephesos: Thank you.
Ephesos drinks the elixir and hands the bottle back to Dikiyoba.
