TAVERN INTERIOR Captain, Cheryl, Ranger, Terry

[FRAME 1]

Terry: If the Arch Fiend wiped our memories, do you think he made all our beds disappear too?

Captain: I guess he could have. But if he can do that, I don't have much hope for the Hero defeating him.

[FRAME 2]

Cheryl: It doesn't really matter where our beds went, we need to figure out where we're going to sleep.

Terry: You don't care if the Arch Fiend took them?

[FRAME 3]

Cheryl: The Hero can deal with the Arch Fiend, that's what heroes are for. We have more immediate concerns.

Ranger: Plus, who knows how long it'll take. Are we supposed to stay awake for months waiting for him to finish his quest?

[FRAME 4]

Cheryl: And what if it turns out it wasn't the Arch Fiend after all? What if the King just had an episode and decreed that nobody outside the castle can have a bed?

Captain: That's... plausible. Disturbingly so.
