Teaser: In which the Captain suggests that their fake investigation could easily be a real investigation, and is surprised by the response.

BOARDING HOUSE INTERIOR Captain, Ranger

[FRAME 1]

Captain: Why gold coins?

Ranger: I thought, if he's secretly a dragon, he wouldn't be able to resist.

Captain: There are at least a hundred monster types, we can't rule them out one at a time. We need a plan that will work on anyone with nefarious intentions. A universal monster detector!

[FRAME 2]

Ranger: Keep your voice down and pretend like we're investigating my missing armour, in case anyone comes back here.

Captain: You know, we don't have to pretend. We could actually investigate while we hash out a plan.

[FRAME 3]

Ranger: There's no point.

Captain: But aren't you mad your armour was stolen again?

Ranger: Of course I'm mad, but are you going to arrest the Hero?

[FRAME 4]

Captain: No, I--

Ranger: Exactly, and I'm mad about that too. But I can't do anything about any of it so I'm trying to focus on other things!
