Act I Scene II Mountains. Ninja Sneevil Dojo. Yon: Who is this that approaches our door? Ni: I have never seen him before. San: We ought to welcome him, he has travelled far to find us, secluded as we are. Ni: I have a great feeling of unease; I do not think this man a friend. Inform Sensei. Yon: I shall. *disappears into dojo* Ni: He’s getting close. Don’t let him in but let’s not be overtly hostile either. Maestro: Good morning gentle friends. San: [whisper]Did he just call us gentle?[/whisper] Ni: Are we your friends? I cannot recall ever setting eyes upon you before. Please identify yourself. Maestro: My word, you are very different from the sneevil I am used to… Ni: Please answer me. Maestro: I am the Mad Weaponsmith. San:…no you’re not. Maestro: Yes, I am. Sensei: Who is this traveller Ni? Ni: He claims to be the Mad Weaponsmith. Maestro: Honoured sneevil you are friends with the Mad Weaponsmith, Cysero. I bring to you grave news, the Mad Weaponsmith you knew has been banished. I am his replacement, the New Mad Weaponsmith, Maestro. Sensei: I see. Your purpose here is? Maestro: I believe that my predecessor often visited this place while travelling and had a workshop here in your dojo, it is this I have come to see; he may have left important notes behind. Sensei: No. Maestro: No? Sensei: No you may not enter the Mad Weaponsmith’s workshop. Maestro: And why not? Sensei: Cysero is a good friend to this dojo; he supplies us with tools of combat, shares his wisdom and occasionally if we are lucky, his socks. Maestro: But Cysero is gone! Sensei: Nevertheless we took an oath to defend Cysero’s secrets in his absence. Maestro: Either you let me in or I shall burn the building to the ground! *conjures fireball* Sensei: You are overlooking one vital detail. Maestro: Don’t worry; I won’t burn down the workshop. Ni: He means that you are alone and arrayed against you are a dojo-ful of ninjas who have been trained to fight since birth. Sensei: You can’t possibly win, friend. Maestro: *fireball disappears* Sensei: Whatever you came here for, you shall not find it. Maestro: Is that a fact? Sensei: A promise. Now turn and walk away Maestro: *turns and walks away* [shouts back] I’ll be back you stupid little goblins! [/shouts back] Sensei: I fear he will be, which is why… Ni: One of us will have to follow him. Sensei: Yes but it would not serve our purpose to kill him. If it is true that Cysero has been banished then we’ll need that Maestro to discover why. Ni: Sensei, it was Cysero who delivered me to your doorstep, I owe him, let me undertake this mission. Sensei: I’d hoped that you would volunteer. Cysero is the reason we met and now the reason we part company. You will descend into the world of men, discover what has happened there and do what you must to defend Cysero and vanquish these enemies that have aligned against him. Ni: I shall. Cysero is the only Mad Weaponsmith I will accept.
