MALVASIAN:
I understand what you're saying, but it seems out of character
for our hypothetic scheming battlemage to allow his or
her victim to live.
INZOLIAH: Perhaps. But it's been my observation that most
scheming battlemages enjoy the feeling of having bested
someone in combat, and having that person alive to live
with the humiliation.
MALVASIAN: These hypothetical scheming battlemages sound
... (excitedly) Daylight! Do you see it?
The two scurry across the branch dropping behind a
bush, so we can no longer see them. We can, however, see
the shimmering halo of sunlight.
MALVASIAN (behind the tall bush): We made it.
INZOLIAH (likewise, behind the tall bush): Indeed.
There is a sudden explosion of electrical energy and
a wild howling aura of red light, and then silence. After
a few moment's pause, we hear someone climbing up the
tree. It is Malvasian, putting the potion high up in the
bough. He chuckles as he climbs back down and the curtain
drops.
Epilogue.
The curtain rises on a road to Silvenar. A gang of
bandits have surrounded Malvasian, who is propped up on
his staff, barely able to stand. They pull his chest away
from him with ease.
BANDIT #1: What have we got here? Don't you know it ain't
safe to be out on the road, all sick like you are? Why
don't we help you with your load?
MALVASIAN (weakly): Please ... Let me be ...
BANDIT #2: Go on, spellcaster, fight us for it!
MALVASIAN: I can't ... too weak ...
Suddenly, Inzoliah flies in, casting lightning bolts from
her fingers at the bandits, who quickly scramble away.
She lands on the ground and picks up the chest. Malvasian
collapses, dying.
MALVASIAN: Hypothetically, what if ... a battlemage cast
a spell on another which didn't harm him at once, but
... drained his life force and his magicka, bit by bit,
so he wouldn't know at the time, but ... feel confident
enough to leave the potion of healing behind?
INZOLIAH: A most treacherous battlemage she'd be.
MALVASIAN: And ... hypothetically ... would she be likely
to help her fallen foe ... so that she could enjoy the
humiliation of him continuing ... to live?
INZOLIAH: From my experience, hypothetically, no. She
doesn't sound like a fool.
As Inzoliah lugs the chest off toward Silvenar, and
Malvasian expires on the stage, we drop the curtain.
