Lian-Chu and Gwizdo in “The Isle of Mist”

I like this Spartan lifestyle. No frills. It's ideal for concentration.

[sarcastically] You don't say.

I feel sorry for those old men. It's weird. Maybe it's just the candlelight, but I got the feeling Albagore has aged since we got here. Say, Gwizdo, can you explain your plan to me?

Hmm.

Since it's complicated and all?

Lian-Chu, there is no complicated plan. I just said that to impress the clients, so they think they're gettin' their money's worth. You get it?

But what about the plan you drew?

Total bluff. Tomorrow we cross the bridge, wait for the monster and slay it with a slingshot. Wham bam, thank you ma'am, fork over the money, we hope to see you again someday.
