INTRODUCTION
NARRATOR
Welcome dear listeners, to the Adventures of Sir Rodney the Root!
SCENE 1. EXT. RIPPLING BROOK.
OLFGA
Olfga and boys take small human princess now.
HEAD VILLAGER
While we are devastated by the loss of our beloved queen, our village will honor her sacrifice.
VILLAGERS
*murmuring in agreement*
CAMILLA
You shut up. Olfga--
OLFGA
Olfga.
CAMILLA
That's what I said.
OLFGA
No. Listen. Olfga.
CAMILLA
Olfga.
OLFGA
OLFGA.
CAMILLA
That is literally what I said.
ORC BOYS
*derisive snorting*
OLFGA
That is what you think. Humans. Pffft.
CAMILLA
Well, your accent--
OLFGA
Small princess is one who have accent.
CAMILLA
No I--
OLFGA
Is how all beings talk in Navakinsk. Princess is one who has strange accent.
BARD
She has a point.
BOYS
*impatient grumbling*
OLFGA
Enough... how you say? Chit chat. Olfga and boys have important business in Sunken Kingdom.
SCENE 2. EXT. THE FAERIE COURT.
FAERIE QUEEN
Well, mortal, enough chit-chat. What do you say? Will you take the human child?
GILBERT
It's not like I can really say no.
FAENDYR
I mean you could.
GILBERT
And be stuck here for eternity?
FAENDYR
You'll be stuck with responsibility for a child. Which is like, just as bad.
GILBERT
No it's not!
COLIN
Oh, yes. Yes it is.
GILBERT
We'll take the child.
ALL FAERIES
*disappointed noises*
FAERIE QUEEN
Oh thank the moons. That is a weight off our shoulders. Now please leave.
COLIN
Yeah, get outta here!
FAERIE QUEEN
No, Colin. You are going with them.
COLIN
Oooooooooh!
FAENDYR
We will leave your realm, your magnanimous majesty.
FAERIE QUEEN
Never to return.
GILBERT
Gods, I hope not. Sorry.
FAENDYR
So, uh, how do we get back?
FAERIE QUEEN
You're a mage, are you not?
FAENDYR
Well, I mean, yeah, but...
COLIN
Oooh, are we staying?
FAERIE QUEEN
No! Make your way towards the headless fountain and take a turn at the embalmed children.
GILBERT
Embalmed-- never mind, I don't want to know. Take a left?
FAERIE QUEEN
Right.
GILBERT
"Right" as in directional? Or "correct"?
FAERIE QUEEN
Yes. Do watch your step. The first one is a doozy.
SOUND: A portal opens.
COLIN
Ooooh this is my favorite part!
GILBERT AND FAENDYR
Uhhhh?
SOUND: ... And they fall through. Objects pass them as they fall. Gil and Faendyr are terrified. Colin is exhilarated.
QUICKLY CUT TO:
SCENE 3. EXT. RIPPLING BROOK.
CAMILLA
What if I don't want to go to the Sunken Kingdom?
OLFGA
What small human princess wants does not matter. Olfga is one in charge.
BARD
Oh here we go.
CAMILLA
I. BEG. YOUR. PARDON?! I am heir to the throne of Kirkland, you may not presume to--
OLFGA
Yes. Olfga may. Olfga wonder what princess is doing in pathetic, nowhere village with no strong guard humans to protect small, soft princess.
CAMILLA
I can protect myself!
OLFGA
Then why is Olfga and Boys taking princess now? Olfga think princess has-- how you say? "Gotten in over head."
BARD
You got that right.
OLFGA
Olfga and boys use small human princess to get into Sunken Kingdom. Maybe then we let go. Maybe then we ransom for more coin. Yakov!
ORC BOY YAKOV
Hm?
OLFGA
Take princess. We march!
(Getting louder as they fall from the sky:)
GILBERT & FAENDYR
(falling, terrified)
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
COLIN
(falling, exhilerated)
Wheeeeee
SOUND: A loud CRUNCHING CRASH as Gil, Faendyr and Colin land on the orc boys.
VILLAGERS
Oooooooh.
OLFGA
Olfga's beautiful boys!
GILBERT & FAENDYR
Oooowwww.
COLIN
Again! Again!
GILBERT
Are you alright?
FAENDYR
Yeah... this, um, yikes. I think this is an orc? Yeah, their neck broke my fall.
CAMILLA
What just happened?
BARD
(singing and playing his lute)
Gilbert and Faendyr and a small human child
Have fallen from a portal in the sky,
And it would seem they have broken the necks of those three orcs.
CAMILLA
I can see that! But what happened?!
GILBERT
We were kidnapped by fairies.
BARD
(singing)
Told you.
CAMILLA
Smugness is unbecoming in a commoner.
FAENDYR
Also, we have a child now, evidently.
COLIN
Hail and well met, friends!
OLFGA
Humans who fell from sky have killed Yakov, Tolya and Frolov!
COLIN
We killed them?
GILBERT
Uh, they're just sleeping!
OLFGA
For their death, you must pay with your lives!
Olfga unsheathes her sword, frightening the Villagers
GILBERT
Woah, woah hold on!
FAENDYR
Ugh. Sorry, we just did a "life-for-a-life" thing.
Speaking of, where's your family live, kid?
COLIN
Rippling Brook!
HEAD VILLAGER
You're in Rippling Brook. Who are you? I've never seen you before in my life.
VILLAGERS
*murmuring in agreement*
COLIN
I'm Colin!
OLFGA
Olfga will not be ignored!
FAENDYR
For the gods' sakes- just give us a second to hand this kid off, okay?
HEAD VILLAGER
Who are your parents, child?
COLIN
My father's name is Miles, and my mother is Agnes. She is the one who fought for the Queen in the war.
GILBERT
We don't have a Queen.
CAMILLA
Not yet.
FAENDYR
Maybe he meant the Empress of the Imperium?
GILBERT
Hold on. The last war was over a century ago.
FAENDYR
That's not possible. He's still a kid.
CAMILLA
You're the arcane specialist. Don't you know that time moves differently in other realms?
COLIN
I've been gone for 100 years?
FAENDYR
Looks like it, kid.
COLIN
But, my family... my parents... that means I'm an orphan.
GILBERT
I know it's a lot to take in.
COLIN
Everyone I've ever known is dead.
FAENDYR
Probably, yeah. I mean, unless you knew any elves.
GILBERT
I'm so sorry, Colin.
COLIN
I shall look on you as my new family!
GILBERT
Um...
FAENDYR
Oh no...
COLIN
The faeries stole me away from my family, but they brought me to you! You shall be as my new family, who will never abandon me!
GILBERT
Oh gods.
FAENDYR
What do we do?
GILBERT
We can't just leave Colin here all by himself.
BARD
No, I mean we could.
GILBERT
We have to take Colin with us. He is our responsibility now.
COLIN
I told you I was a lot of responsibility!
FAENDYR
Gil, I understand you're trying to "do the right thing"- which is adorable by the way- but that's going to be a bit of a problem.
OLFGA
Is no problem.
CAMILLA
Yes "is problem"! We're on a quest!
OLFGA
Olfga say what is done. We also take small human young. He pose less threat to dwarves than even full-grown humans.
(The Boys laugh)
Better cover for Olfga and remaining boys!
COLIN
I'm not young! I'm 107!
FAENDYR
In Elven years you'd still be in primary school.
COLIN
How do you know?
FAENDYR
I'm an elf...?
COLIN
Ooooooh!
... What is "school"?
FAENDYR
Yeah, I'm seeing now that we should have let the fairies eat you, kid.
GILBERT
Faendyr...
COLIN
But I'm not ripe yet!
OLFGA
Enough talk! We march.
HEAD VILLAGER
Um, excuse me, um, Lady Olfga? What do we do about your, um, friends here? The ones who are... uh, sleeping?
OLFGA
Olfga leave them for you, as a reminder.
VILLAGERS
*confused murmuring*
HEAD VILLAGER
A reminder.... of..... what?
A beat.
OLFGA
We go now!
The Boys grab the Companions and push them on ahead
THE BARD
Careful, I have a rash!
FAENDYR
Um, hands off please.
COLIN
Ooooh! Where are we going?
SCENE 4. EXT. TRAVELING
BARD
(Colin is talking in the background)
And so brave Sir Rodney accompanied by the supremely talented and best bard in all of Kirkland- and those other people- are forced at sword-point to travel north towards the subterranean nation of the Sunken Kingdom...
COLIN
Oh! Do you ever wonder if the trees get cold when all of their leaves all come off? I do! I wonder what they think. I wonder if they find it embarrassing when they change colors. You know how sometimes they change...
BARD
They-- Colin-- can you not-- I can't think... No whatever it's fine, I was basically done.
COLIN
... Do you ever wonder what trees think about? I wonder that myself all the time. They stand around for a very long time I would think that they would probably have all sorts of things. I mean there are so very many bird that all land on their branches. Do you think they have favorites? Do think it annoys them? Do you know?
...
I think that birds are very strange. You see they have those funny little legs that they look like sort of like pitchforks you know. And they hop all about. And they go hop hop hop
...
You know how sometimes when you're walking? Sometimes it's dirk, but then other times its stones or rocks. I wonder what what that means. What kind of rocks do you like? I like the ones that are round....
...
I have found in my experience that goats tend to be more trustworthy than sheep, you see. I don't know why it 'tis. Maybe it's because they have those horns. Do you think maybe those horns mean that they are more reliable. I had not thought of it that way. Perhaps that is true.
....
I know lots of people. Let me think. There's me mum. And me dad. And then there's my first brother. And then my sister. And then I have another sister and another sister and then there's a brother and then there's another sister and another brother...
...
I mean if I could fly I would fly everywhere I could. I would fly very high up in the sky, and then I would come alllll the way down and I would get very close to the ground. But not too close because I wouldn't want to touch the ground...
SCENE 5. EXT. JADE REACH ENTRANCE. A windy, mountainous area. A sense of elevation and wide open space.
COLIN
And that's why you should never take advice from sheep on a Tuesday!
OLFGA
For last time, small human shut its big mouth!
COLIN
But they are considered to be more reliable on Wednes-- Ooooooh!
Jade Reach music beings
FAENDYR
Well. We're here.
COLIN
What's that big door-thing in the mountain? Does a giant live there?
FAENDYR
No. Dwarves are just super extra.
GILBERT
It's... amazing. Not what I expected.
CAMILLA
Well, they are symbolic as much as functional. The Dwarves wanted to impress the Surface Kingdoms to encourage trade.
OLFGA
Excluding Navakinski peoples.
CAMILLA
Yes, there's a long and complicated history between those two nations. And they still don't allow just anyone into their cities.
FAENDYR
Which is why we're here on this thrilling week long distraction from our own quest. Whoopee.
The music abruptly stops.
GILBERT
So, how do we--
SOUND: The ding of an elevator door. A large, MECHANICAL DOOR OPENS, followed by heavy FOOTSTEPS, with sounds of mechanical pistons and joints as the automaton moves. It speaks in a slightly disjointed voice, not unlike a computer's pattern of speech.
AUTOMATON
Welcome to the entrance to Jade Reach, capital of the vast Sunken Kingdom.
COLIN
Ooooooh! It's a giant metal... giant! Hail and well met, friend!
AUTOMATON
I am an automaton, an example of Dwarven superiority in engineering and magical crafting.
FAENDYR
(verbal expression of an eyeroll)
Uuuugh.
AUTOMATON
Our skills vastly outpace those of the humans and elves.
FAENDYR
Whoopty doo. It's not a race.
CAMILLA
A little sensitive there, are we?
FAENDYR
Dwarves think they're all that with their automatons and planned cities and democracy and whatever. Like, wow, congrats, no one cares.
CAMILLA
Oh, clearly.
AUTOMATON
I can take you to--
FAENDYR
I mean the Elven Imperium ruled the whole globe but elves don't go on and on about it.
AUTOMATON
I can take you to Jade--
FAENDYR
And we still would if the humans in the south hadn't gotten all whiny about rights and stuff and went and had a rebellion.
AUTOMATON
I can take---
CAMILLA
As a descendant of one of those whiny humans who started the rebellion--
OLFGA
SHUT UP. All of you.
COLIN
Ooooh hooo oooo!
OLFGA
Especially loud small boy. Let Giant Metal Giant speak.
AUTOMATON
I can take you to Jade Reach, but we do not grant entrance to everyone. We only allow the pure of purpose.
FAENDYR
Gag me with a spoon.
AUTOMATON
Consumed by jealousy of our advances beyond their feeble abilities--
FAENDYR
Oh my gods.
many races and nations seek to steal our technology.
Why should I permit your group entry?
ORC BOYS
*unsure grumbling*
OLFGA
Olfga let human princess do talking.
CAMILLA
Ugh. Fine.
(clears her throat, then:)
Hello, greetings. I am the Crown Princess Camilla.
AUTOMATON
That name is not recognized.
CAMILLA
I'm heir to the throne of Kirkland!
AUTOMATON
We do not care about the hierarchy of other nations.
CAMILLA
Now that's horse sh--... shoes.
AUTOMATON
I beg your pardon?
GILBERT
Haha! That's a joke. It's a human joke. Hilarious, right guys?
COMPANIONS AND OLFGA
(Feeble, nervous laughter)
COLIN
(genuine laughter)
That's so funny!
The Automaton turns to look at Gilbert
GILBERT
But we'd hate to waste any more of your time. My, um...
OLFGA
Comrades.
GILBERT
Comrades and I would like entrance into your lovely city.
AUTOMATON
What is your purpose?
GILBERT
Um...?
FAENDYR
We're from the Mages' College. Maybe you've heard of it?
(The Automaton wheels around to look at him)
It's located in the Elven Imperium. You know? The oldest and most storied nation on the continent?
We're here to study the fantastic advancements of your society for our... graduate project.
AUTOMATON
You claim to be from an Elven college, but you are the only elf.
FAENDYR
They're exchange students.
AUTOMATON
The child?
FAENDYR
He's a full-grown gnome, actually.
COLIN
I'm a gnome?!
AUTOMATON
You are suggesting those orcs are students?
FAENDYR
Why wouldn't they be?
AUTOMATON
They are orcs.
ORC BOYS
*offended grumbling*
FAENDYR
Elves welcome all who would learn into their lands. But, if you wish to stand in the way of cross-cultural exchange, that's your choice. I'm sure we can go to any city in the Elven kingdom and be welcomed without suspicion, despite our differences.
AUTOMATON
The Sunken Kingdom is, of course, as welcoming as the Elven Imperium. If not moreso.
FAENDYR
Oh, of course.
AUTOMATON
Please, step inside the elevator.
COLIN
The what?
GILBERT
No idea.
SCENE 6. INT. THE ELEVATOR. A small, enclosed area. Not unlike... well, an elevator.
AUTOMATON
Please keep your hands, feet and additional appendages inside the moving vehicle at all times.
The metal door rolls closed, and the elevator begins to move. The Companions wiggle around in the too-small space.
FAENDYR
Ugh, Camilla get your elbow out of my stomach.
CAMILLA
When you get your hair out of my face!
BARD
Woah woah! Watch the lute!
FAENDYR
Why do you have it out??!
GILBERT
(tapping on the orc's jerkin desperately)
Excuse me, um, orc boy? Do you mind... I-I can't breathe.
ORC BOY
*grrr*
GILBERT
(he's not:)
Nevermind I'm fine.
OLFGA
Olfga is slightly disappointed we make it into Jade Reach. Olfga looked forward to breaking all of humans' fragile bones.
COLIN
How did you get so big and strong?
OLFGA
Eating small human young that talk too much.
COLIN
Oooooooooh! Of course!
The ELEVATOR STOPS. A DING. The DOORS SLIDE OPEN.
AUTOMATON
Welcome to Jade Reach.
SCENE 7. "EXT" JADE REACH. STREET. A bustling FANTASY CITY, the capital of a vast underground empire. Carts moving on TRACKS, CARTS rolling on a street, PEOPLE TALKING, HAWKING, etc, but all with the sense of being in an expansive underground area.
EVERYONE
Oooooh ahhhh etc
AUTOMATON
Yes, beholding the Reach for the first time is a life changing experience.
FAENDYR
Not really, but okay.
GILBERT
Faendyr...
FAENDYR
What? They live in a city underground, congrats. Rabbits have been doing that for thousands of years.
COLIN
And birds.
GILBERT
No, Collin.
COLIN
Fish?
GILBERT
No.
COLIN
Are you sure?
OLFGA
Clearly tall elf has issues he needs to work on.
FAENDYR
I'm just uncomfortable when the conversation isn't about me.
AUTOMATON
Enjoy your stay.
The automaton WALKS AWAY.
FAENDYR
You guys do get that I was talking out of my butt about the College right?
GILBERT
Yeah, we got it.
FAENDYR
Cuz I don't want you guys thinking elves are like, chill or anything. Generally speaking we're really uptight.
OLFGA
Olfga is, how you say? Shocked.
COLIN
Question: How do you talk with your butt?
CAMILLA
Well, Olfga. We got you into Jade Reach. What now?
OLFGA
Olfga and boys have important job to search for Flesh Eater demon staff in Jade Reach for big client.
GILBERT
The Consumer of Flesh?
FAENDYR
Haha what, so weird!
(whispering:)
Gil! What are you doing?!
GILBERT
What?
FAENDYR
Don't tell her we're looking for it too!
COLIN
Why are we whispering?
OLFGA
Olfga thought to hold soft princess for ransom from father king, but princess is too much of, how you say, pain in neck.
CAMILLA
Thank you, that means a lot coming from you.
OLFGA
Olfga and boys go to search Jade Reach now. Soft princess and friends are free.
FAENDYR
Oh, no no, we're not friends.
GILBERT
Thank you, Olfga... and boys--
OLFGA
Farewell, soft humans and elf.
GILBERT
Good luck with your job!
The orcs WALK AWAY
CAMILLA
Why did you thank them? They drug us here against our will.
GILBERT
Sorry. I want everyone to like me, I guess?
CAMILLA
You need to work on that. You can't be everything to everyone. Well, unless you're royalty of course.
FAENDYR
Yeah, executing people if they don't worship you isn't the same thing as being liked, though.
CAMILLA
That Relic isn't going to find itself.
GILBERT
Hold on. Where do we even start?
A rat approaches Colin and SQUEAKS at him.
COLIN
Hail and well met, friend!
BARD
That's a rat.
BRAD
Squeak! Squeak squeak!
COLIN
Oh, yes please, tell me more!
SOUND: Colin runs off
GILBERT
Colin! Don't wander too far! And meet back here in an hour!
COLIN
(from further away)
I don't know how to tell time but okay!
FAENDYR
Lovely. Our insane child is talking to vermin.
CAMILLA
He survived a century with the faeries and didn't become an hors d'oeuvre. He'll be fine. We need to focus on finding the staff.
GILBERT
And before Olfga does.
FAENDYR
This is a big city. Where do we even start?
GILBERT
Faendyr, do you have anything in that magic book of yours?
FAENDYR
It's a grimoire and no, I don't.
CAMILLA
Well, we know that the dwarven society as a whole is logical and organized. Where's the most logical place to put an object of great historical value in a major city?
GILBERT & FAENDYR
Uhhhhh, hmmmmmmmm
CAMILLA
It's not a trick question.
FAENDYR
Oh, I know, I just want to see if you two do.
CAMILLA
A museum, you dolts.
GILBERT
Oh!
FAENDYR
Oh yeah. Obvi.
CAMILLA
We just have to find it. How hard can it be?
SCENE 8. EXT. JADE REACH. STREET.
GILBERT
Excuse me?
DWARF
Dwarven crafts! Fine Dwarven crafts, direct from Orzammar--
GILBERT
Oh, no, I'm sorry, I don't want to buy anything, I need directions.
---
CAMILLA
Automaton! Direct me to the museum of magical objects.
THE INTERFACE AS AN AUTOMATON
I'm sorry, human, but I'm afraid I can't do that.
---
FAENDYR
You... dwarf! Yes, you. ... Don't make an obscene gesture at me, I need help!
---
BARD
(singing)
Does anyone know where the museum is?
(Someone drops coins in front of him)
Oh no, I'm not busking-- oh nice. Any requests?
SCENE 9. EXT. JADE REACH. STREET. SOUND: A clock chimes the hour.
CAMILLA
Well, that was a complete waste of time. Hopefully you boys were more productive.
GILBERT
Um, well, I have this now. I think it's a bag of holding?
FAENDYR
Oh honey, that's definitely a knock-off...
Wait, you actually bought that?
GILBERT
I didn't want to be rude.
CAMILLA
And did this merchant then give you directions?
GILBERT
Um. No.
COLIN
I found a bunch of rats!
FAENDYR
Glad to see they didn't carry you off.
COLIN
Would you all like to meet them?
FAENDYR
No.
GILBERT
Maybe later, Colin.
COLIN
Your loss.
CAMILLA
What about you, Faendyr? Any luck?
FAENDYR
Everyone ignored me for some reason.
CAMILLA
Maybe because you exude this aura that you think you're better than everyone else.
FAENDYR
Oh ho, that's the dread wolf calling the cauldron black.
BARD
Are you going to ask me?
EVERYONE ELSE
*surprised noises*
GILBERT
Oh my gods. I completely forgot you were here.
COLIN
Who are you again?
BARD
No, no, it's fine. I get it. I'm more of a device than a character. Please, continue ignoring me.
CAMILLA
Well, bard, do you know where the museum is?
BARD
Even if I did I wouldn't tell you. Your majesty.
GILBERT
Let's just try again. Maybe we'll have better luck.
FAENDYR
Yes, because things have been going so well on the quest so far.
GILBERT
Olfga brought us most of the way to the staff. What are the chances of that?
CAMILLA
Gil, ask her. That dwarven woman over there. She looks knowledgeable.
GILBERT
Excuse me? Miss?
BIANKA
Who? Me?
GILBERT
Yes. Sorry. Where is the museum?
BIANKA
Excuse you. I'm a tourist. This is the first time I've been here in my entire life.
GILBERT
Oh. Sorry.
BIANKA
You think all dwarves are from the Sunken Kingdom?
GILBERT
No, no, of course not. I'm sorry--
BIANKA
I'll have you know I'm from the Imperium. You probably think we all know each other too, huh?
GILBERT
I apologize.
BIANKA
You wanna ask me where my gold stash is, and if I can fix some mechanical little trinket for you while you're at it?
GILBERT
I'm sorry--
BIANKA
I just so happen to be really good with mechanics, but that has nothing to do with me being a dwarf, thankyouverymuch!
GILBERT
I'm so so sorry. Please don't hate me.
BIANKA
What's with the stick?
GILBERT
Uh.
BIANKA
Never mind, I honestly don't care.
Hey, beautiful, what's your name?
FAENDYR
Faendyr.
BIANKA
I wasn't talking to you.
FAENDYR
What??
CAMILLA
Oh, me? The Royal Princess Camilla Aslinn Philomenia Antonia, Duchess of Brador.
BIANKA
You look very familiar. I never forget a pretty face. Hold on... you're on the money!
CAMILLA
Yes, I am the crown princess of Kirkland. It's not a very good likeness, I'm afraid.
BIANKA
Oh no, I love it. A strong nose for a strong woman. I'm Bianka Coalbrand. A true pleasure.
CAMILLA
Likewise.
GILBERT
Um. What's happening right now?
BIANKA
You folks look lost. Maybe I can help you out. What are you doing in Jade Reach?
COLIN
We're trying to get lucky!
GILBERT
Oh my gods. No, we're not. We're looking for the museum.
COLIN
Oh! I know where the museum is. Brad told me.
GILBERT
Who is "Brad?"
COLIN
My rat friend.
GILBERT
Oh no. He's not your friend.
COLIN
Yes he is!
FAENDYR
Whatever. The kid obviously made it up. What kind of name is "Brad"?
COLIN
The museum is this way!
Colin RUNS off.
BIANKA
Mind if I tag along? I wouldn't mind looking at some beautiful art. The museum can't be half bad either.
CAMILLA
*giggle*
FAENDYR
Ugh. The sooner we get this over with the better.
GILBERT
Shall we?
FAENDYR
What kinds of things do dwarves put in museums even?
GILBERT
Faendyr, please be nice.
BIANKA
What kinds of things do elves put in museums?
FAENDYR
When you live forever, museums aren't necessary.
OLFGA
Good. Soft humans and elf do exactly as Olfga planned. Spartak!
ORC BOY SPARTAK
Hm?
OLFGA
Follow them. Soon we pay final visit to Olfga's new friends!
NARRATOR
It would seem that the Companions are walking into a bit of trouble. What is Olfga planning? How do I know this is happening if I'm not technically present to hear Olfga speaking? Find out next time on THE ADVENTURES OF SIR RODNEY THE ROOT!

Exactly.
