| Cover Stories | Jen: That went pretty smoothly.
/ Joe: Yeah, Mom thinks we're out gathering herbs with Bob. / Bob: I don't like to prevaricate, but I left a note saying much the same thing.
/ Bob: I hope my mother won't be worried when she gets home.
/ Joe: Mm. / Joe: How about you, Henson? Did your parents buy your... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=31 |
| Crass Course | [[Our heroes are coming 'round a bend, and the ground is sloping up more steeply on either side. Jen and Bob are coaching/quizzing Kiku on proper noble etiquette.]]
/ Caption: Some time later...

| Aptitude Assessment | [[Henson and Joe are talking in the foreground; Jen, Kiku, and Bob are behind them.]]
/ Joe: What exactly is the plan for our noble in training?
/ Henson: Well, once we get into the city...
/ Henson: Sneak him into the academy as a student. / Joe: And then?
/ Henson: Hmm. First he'll need to find the headmaster.
/ Henson:... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=33 |
| Pull Cord to Request a Stop | [[Our heroes walk along a narrower section of road, which appears to have been cut through a low hill. There are earth walls and exposed tree roots on either side.]] / Kiku: Hey, buddy...
/ Kiku: How 'bout stopping for a snack? / Henson: Let's wait 'til we're back out in the open.
/ Kiku: Come on, just... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=34 |
| Analysis | [[Bob and Joe assess the knife in the wall disapprovingly.]]
/ Narrator: Shortly:
/ Bob: Well, let's see... The craftsmanship is rather shoddy.
/ Joe: I'll say. My GRANNY could forge better than that.
/ Bob: It's clearly in need of maintenance. / [[Bob now holds the knife across his palm and tests the tip.]]
/ Bob:... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=35 |

| Not So Fast | Bandits: < http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=37 |
| Conversation Stopper | Henson: That's right... You're those ruffians who used to raid our farms!
/ Lester: Uh... / Joe: Yeah, why are you still around? Didn't we teach you a good enough lesson last year? / Lester: That was you? You're those guys from Potatoville? ...We're not supposed to talk about that, either... / Henson:... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=38 |

| Damage Report | [[After the fight with the bandits...]]
/ Jen: Finally! No more ravine.
/ Kiku: No more sandwiches, either...
/ Joe: Yeah... This plan is going GREAT.
/ Bob: Perhaps we should take a moment to regroup. / Soon:
/ [[Jen examines Kiku's nobleman disguise.]]
/ Jen: All right, let's see how much mending this needs.... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=52 |
| Performance Review | Jen [[holding up Kiku's torn jacket]]: How did this even happen?
/ Kiku: Well, the bushes we hid under at the top of the cliff?
/ Kiku: Turns out mine wasn't the thornless kind. / [[Camera pans over to Henson and Joe. Jen and Kiku are now off screen but can still be heard.]]
/ Jen: Right, maybe we can... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=53 |
| What Have We Here? | {{Kiku wanders off, and Joe resumes the debate with Henson.}}
/ Joe: As I was SAYING...
/ Henson: Joe, we shouldn't be arguing over this. If our alternatives were "stab a man" or "skip lunch," I think it's safe to say that this is the lesser of two evils.
/ Joe: But--

| Brilliant Insight | Caption: Elsewhere:
/ Voice: Ahhh... / [[The bandits are lounging around a campfire.]]
/ Skinny Ruffian: Those sandwiches went down a treat with milk.
/ Lester: ...Just like mum used to make.
/ Ruffian Leader: And much as I hate to admit it, a change o' linens did me a world o' good. / Skinny Bandit: Wish... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=59 |
| On the Road Again | Henson: You really can't do anything with the costume?
/ Jen: I'm afraid not.
/ Jen: At least we've figured out why the disguise didn't work.
/ Kiku: We have?
/ Jen: You know, it might be good thing that we ran into those bandits before a real noble saw us. / Jen: They said that nobles travel by horse.... http://www.true-magic.com/view.php?id=60 |
