Scene 2: Geneforge Forum

Ephesos and Dikiyoba walk across the Geneforge Forum on their way to the Blades of Avernum Forum. They both halt when they see GoldenKing lying unconscious next to a used canister. They run over.

Dikiyoba: He's not dead, is he?

Ephesos: No, just unconscious.

Ephesos casts unshackle mind. GoldenKing wakes up.

GoldenKing: Ephesos! Teh thing! Teh thing!

Ephesos: GoldenKing, use proper English so I can understand you.

GoldenKing: I siad, the thing!

Ephesos and Dikiyoba look around. The thing is gone.

Ephesos: I don't see a thing.

GoldenKing: But... but...

Ephesos: You just had a bad reaction to the canister you used. Nothing else. Just follow us. That way, I'm nearby if you pass out again.

GoldenKing looks around the forum again and sees nothing.

GoldenKing: But... but... all right. Maeby thats all it was.

Dintiradan enters the forum.

Dintiradan: Where are you three going?

Dikiyoba: To the Blades of Avernum Forum.

Dintiradan: How convenient! That's where I'm headed too. What are we waiting for?

Ephesos points at GoldenKing. GoldenKing stands up.

GoldenKing: Its okay. I fell, er, feel better now.
