Video Transcript

{Rather Dashing is climbing the cliff. He makes it to the top.}

TEXT BOX: Nice jorb climbing the cliff. You have a real way with those arrow keys.

{Look.}

TEXT BOX: Wow! It sure gets creepy fast around here! What with all the lightning and scary cave entrances.

{Get bones.}

TEXT BOX: Eww. No. Grody. You're grody. No. Eww.

{Rather Dashing enters the cave.}

{Look.}

TEXT BOX: There are 3 openings with a little cliff in front of each. A beaded curtain hangs in a doorway on the far wall.

{Look curtains.}

TEXT BOX: That thing's awesome. You always wanted one for your dorm room but your roommate was a total drag and said no.

{Rather Dashing approaches the first opening. A Keeper comes out.}

KEEPER: Foolish peasant! How dare you enter this fairly sacred chamber!

TEXT BOX: You explain that you're here to smote Trogdor and if he doesn't get out of your way, him too!

KEEPER: You cannot vanquish Trogdor! Only the Three Keepers of Trogdor hold the tools with which to destroy the Burninator. The Trog-Shield, the Trog-Helmet, and the Trog-Sword. And the only way we'll give them up is if you answer the three Trog-Trivia questions correctly.

{Look.}

TEXT BOX: I think he wants something from your inventory. Or you could just tell him "take the quiz".

{Take the quiz.}

KEEPER: Okay, here goes. What is the only creature the Jhonka fears? A. Poor Gary, B. The Baby, C. The Kerrek.

KEEPER: Peasant fool! Choose A, B or C! What is the only creature the Jhonka fears? A. Poor Gary, B. The Baby, C. The Kerrek.

KEEPER: Sorry peasant! You fail! And as punishment, you will be turned into... RON CUMBERDALE!!

TEXT BOX: You ask who the crap Ron Cumberdale is.

KEEPER: Just this kid from 4th grade that I really hated. But he was a BIG LOSER and HE SMELLED!

{The Keeper casts a spell. Rather Dashing is now Ron Cumberdale.}

TEXT BOX: Well, you're not exactly dead. But there's no way you could defeat Trogdor as Ron Cumberdale. Your quest ends here. Thanks for playing.

{Game over sequence.}

{Save menu loads. The Videlectrix Guys below say "Thanks so much for playing this game here! Don't get too frustrated. Take some time for yourself. Have a refreshing coffee. Relax. Then come back and try again maybe!"}

{Outtake: Inside lightning}

{Rather Dashing is inside the cave. Animated lightning overlays the Keeper's entrance.}

{Outtake: not sure what ron is doing up there.}

{Rather Dashing stands against the cliff inside the cave. Many Ron Cumberdales are rendered in the first Keeper's position while Rather Dashing runs around.}

{Fade to black.}
