Transcript

Panel 1

Tarquin: And now that your elven friend is comfortably trancing across the hall, this room is yours.
Elan: Geez, I think this room is bigger than Mom's whole house!
Tarquin: Elan, my boy, it means so much to me to have you here. It really raises my spirit in this time of grief.
Elan: Grief? What grief?

Panel 2

Tarquin: My ninth wife, Penelope, recently passed away. We held a state funeral for her last week.
Elan: Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry. What was the cause of death?

Panel 3

Tarquin: "Mysterious circumstances."
Elan: Not another one! When will they find a cure?!?

Panel 4

Tarquin: Anyway, I think the people deserve a celebration after enduring so much sadness. I think we'll hold a feast—no, a festival! In your honor!
Tarquin: Three days and nights of merriment in the streets to welcome my long-lost son!

Panel 5

Elan: With clowns?
Tarquin: And jugglers!
Elan: And clown-jugglers, who juggle tiny clowns?
Tarquin: Of course!

Panel 6

Haley: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I hate to interrupt the stereo goofiness, but Elan, we're in the middle of a very important quest here.
Elan: Oh, right. I forgot.
Tarquin: What kind of quest? Maybe I could help.

Panel 7

Haley: A secret kind of quest.
Elan: Yeah, we need to find this guy, Girard Draketooth, and tell him that—
Haley: Elan!! What part of "secret" do you not understand??
Elan: The part, where I don't tell other people obviously.

Panel 8

Tarquin: Draketooth?
Tarquin: ...
Tarquin: Human? Red hair, purple squiggly tattoo on his face? Uses illusions?

Panel 9

Haley: YES! Do you know him???
Tarquin: Maybe. Maybe not. I'll be happy to discuss it with you—
Tarquin:—AFTER the festival.

Panel 10

Tarquin: Until then, relax. I'll send for you when it's time for dinner.
Elan: Wow! Not only did we find my father, but he knows something about Girard!
Haley: Yeah... But I can't help the feeling that we're—OH MY GODS!

Panel 11

Elan: What is it?
Haley: Elan, don't you see?
Haley: Roy let you loose in the desert thinking that you would trip over the main plot.

Panel 12

Elan: So?
Haley: YOU DID!
