Theo: Would you PLEASE cease to run around in such a bizarre fashion? What kind of mercenary ARE you!?
Lance: ME? What kind of healer doesn't know how to nullify a simple poison spell?? Are you telling me I got paired with a mage who can only cure small wounds!?
Theo: We've no time for such bickering! We must focus on the task at hand if we are to both survive!
(Lance notices Theo's wounds are larger than he thought)
Lance: Holy-
(Theo takes out his staff--it begins to glow green)
Theo: Now, listen very carefully. I shall begin healing myself. There is a herb within the woods that can slow the poisoning, but not cure it. You must find the small plant with three purple leaves. I shall stay here and wait. But my magic will not hold indefinitely.
Lance: A plant with three purple leaves? Got it!
(Lance is now running deeper into the forest)
Lance: So, I just have to find a small plant among dozens of others within this forest, without directions, without a healer. This can only end well.
(More flower enemies stand behind him)
Lance: I sure hope I don't run into those nasty flower-things again.* They sure did a number on Theo. Man, those enemies are ugly.
Narrator: You might be wondering if these are, in fact, the dreaded tea-leaf deathflowers. They are not. This particular genus of flower is of the poison-thorn variety--found exclusively within forests--and portray little to no reaction when shown tea, coffee, or any other brewed beverage. However, they do not often wish to be called ugly or otherwise insulted in a similarly crude manner.
