>> ARTHUR: I've left friends behind. Their voices forever silenced. They haunt my dreams.
They ask me why I went on ahead. So I tell them: I am Noctus, master rogue.
I've stolen countless things from countless people, but the one thing I can never steal
is time.
So I keep running, chasing the night, before my time is up.
>> SHANE: Evan, what's he doing?
>> EVAN: Who, Arthur? Well, sometimes he just gets like this, just stares out into space.
>> SHANE: Does he know the session's over?
>> EVAN: Probably not.
>> SHANE: So what do you do?
>> EVAN: Well, same thing you do when a computer locks up.
Reboot.
>> EVAN: Thanks, Will.
>> WILL: Yeah, no problem. You working?
>> EVAN: No, I graded those papers last night. This is game stuff.
>> WILL: Dude, we played, like, yesterday.
>> EVAN: And my games need prep, Will.
>> WILL: Okay, fine, whatever. Nerd.
The date didn't go like I'd hoped.
>> EVAN: Oh?
>> WILL: I just need a little bit of help.
>> EVAN: So you decide to ask her brother.
>> WILL: Oh, come on.
>> EVAN: She likes you, Will. I know she does. Beyond that, you're on your own.
>> WILL: Thanks, dude.
>> EVAN: If you break her heart, I know where you live.
>> WILL: Okay.
>> EVAN: You have customers.
>> WILL: Oh. They'll go away in a minute or two.
>> SHANE: My favourite thing: the spoils of war!
>> ARTHUR: Let's take a look.
>> BRITTANY: Four magic items for the four of us.
The Arrow of Piercing naturally should go to Biff, our archer.
The Orb of Rage, to me.
>> ARTHUR: Yes! Kara's Gloves of Night! I so needed these. They fill a hole in Noctus'
abilities.
>> EVAN: Keep it in character, please?
>> ARTHUR: I want these gloves.
>> EVAN: Check.
Noctus' fingers fuse together as the gloves shrink, making them unable to be removed.
Without the keyphrase, the gloves curse the wearer.
>> ARTHUR: Are you kidding me? You're fucking me over again?
>> EVAN: I tried to tell you.
>> ARTHUR: When?!
>> WILL: Hi-ya!
>> EVAN: Ah, fight bravely! Helmut impressed!
Helmut give prize!
Now, in bag are Kara's Gloves of Night.
>> ARTHUR: Yes!
>> EVAN: Helmut warn guardians of the Eleventh Eye that—
>> SHANE: Yeeaaagh!
He knew we had the Eleventh Eye. What if the King found out?
>> BRITTANY: Don't even say that.
>> EVAN: You can see that there's still a piece of paper in Helmut's belt with words
written on them that—
>> SHANE: Burn the corpse. It's the only way we'll truly be safe.
>> BRITTANY: What.
>> SHANE: The only way.
The only way.
>> ARTHUR: And the keyphrase . . .
>> EVAN: Went up in smoke.
>> ARTHUR: No. No, you know what? You're just making this up as you go along.
Just to screw me over, like you always do.
>> EVAN: Nope.
It's all here in my notes.
>> ARTHUR: Dammit.
>> EVAN: Look, the whole game's in here. Past, present, future.
Believe me, I'm not deliberately out to screw you.
>> BRITTANY: We'll find an Identify scroll to sort you out, Noctus.
>> WILL: And in the meantime, suck it up.
>> EVAN: Okay, I think it's time to end the session here.
>> ARTHUR: Eh—
>> ARTHUR: Noctus was raised by the night. He never knew his father and his mother was
a ninja assassin.
>> WILL: Arthur?
>> ARTHUR: His grandmother was also a ninja assassin.
>> WILL: Arthur, you're monologuing in public again?
>> ARTHUR: And his grandfather was also absent.
>> WILL: Arthur.
>> ARTHUR: His dog was an attack—
>> WILL: Arthur!
Nerd.
