'I sure can! In fact, the townspeople packed in advance. Here you go.' He handed over a shulker box. 'Have fun on your travels! And watch out for weirdos on the road. You don't know who you can trust out there...' After a look out into the audience, he walked off, leaving Grian alone again. 

'Our quest is ready to begin!' He improvised. 'Look! Pearlie's coming back!'

Pearlie appeared again holding her own bag of stuff. I 

'You got everything we need?'

'Yep. And you know what?' Joehills be damned, Grian looked out into the audience. 'This is going to be a very chobblesome quest.' 

And with that, they ran offstage..

'How far have we gone?' Grain asked as they returned onstage again a few minutes later Pearlie shrugged.

'Not far. The village is still over there.' 

'It's already getting dark. We need to stop at a tavern somewhere.'

'Luckily there's one just over there.' Pearl pointed towards stage right, and Grian nodded.

'Good idea. Let's go!' As they left, the stage was set for the next scene. Cleo stood behind the bar and Renvolio bounded onstage, Grian and Pearl ready to reenter. 

'We should be careful in case anyone here is working for Dr Evil.' Grain muttered as he did. 

'Yes, you're right! Anyone could be working for Dr Evil. We don't know who is working for him.'

'I thought you said there would be someone here that could help.' Grian whispered, barely audible.

'Greetings, travellers!' Renvolio interrupted excitedly, ('YES REN!' Yelled Jimmy)  striding over to Pearlie and Grain. 'I am the fair Renvolio, I am here to accompany you on your journey across the mountains to where the evil Dr Evil dwells!' He bowed, grinning from ear to ear with enjoyment. 

'This must be who Wels mean!' Pearl gasped. Grian looked over at her.

'But what if he isn't? Lots of people want Dr Evil dead.'

'True. Renvolio, do you know Sellsknight?'

'I sure do! What are your names, fine travellers?'

'I'm Grain.'

'Well, hello, Grain... and you?'

'I am Pearlie.' Pearlie and Revolio shook hands.

'Hold on a second!' Scar appeared onstage. 'I, the great Din Djarin, will accompany you up the mountains.'

'Oh, great. It's the local idiot.' Renvolio growled back. Din Djarin ignored, jumping onto one of the tables.

'I can lead you across the tre- the very dangerous mountains to find and murder Dr Evil with the passion of a thousand... Din Djarins!' 

'If you think this guy is going to lead you safely up those mountains, you're wrong!' Renvolio joined Scar on the table, basically pushing him off. 'He'll only end up getting you both killed, and with the safety of everyone in hermitville at stake, this is the last thing we want to happen. However, I would get you up there and back in less than a day. What says you, travellers?'

'Pearl, is this a good idea?' Grain whispered loudly

'I don't know. I suppose the only thing we can do is...'

'I can lead us to victory!' 

'This man is lying!' Renvolio shot back. 'If you want a real explorer, ally, and maybe even friend, I am the one you should pick to join you!'
