- [Luwena takes a deep breath]
- John Blackstar: Looks like a little gift from the Overlord, Prince Dahl.
- John Blackstar: Who rules in Marakand, Balkar?
- Balkar: I've only heard legends. They speak of Shaldemar the ancient, who drains the live force from people and makes them Zombie slaves of the Overlord.
- John Blackstar: Maybe we can't fight them. But we can fool them.
- [grabs two hands ful of mud and starts smearing it on his face and hair]
- John Blackstar: I'll take the door on the right. Dal, you and Rif take the one on the left.
- Rif: I'd rather take the next boat outta here.
