439. Group Benefits

Teaser: In which the Ranger reveals that he is a shield carrying member of the church, although the group benefits less than he expected.

CHURCH INTERIOR Don, Guard, Captain, Ranger, Lizzy

[FRAME 1]

Captain: This isn't the secret back room of a tavern, it's the only church in the kingdom!

Priest: Be that as it may--

Ranger: I have a blue shield.

Captain: What?!

[FRAME 2]

RANGER HOLDING SHIELD

Ranger: I have one.

Priest: You do? Why didn't you say so?

Ranger: I forgot I had it, because I can't use it. The Hero gave it to me to carry after he got a better one, and then I guess he forgot about it.

[FRAME 3]

Ranger: The important thing is, I have one and this man is in my party.

Priest: Very good sir, I'll get started just as soon as you pay the four GP.

[FRAME 4]

Captain: FOUR GP?! We have a shield and we clearly got it before the injury, why do we still have to pay?

Priest: Huh, nobody's ever asked before. I don't know why, but you do. That's just how the system works.
