1 Alvissa: Uh, guys, there's one minor thing you left off that list of goals. So small I hesitate to mention it...
1 Lambert: Yes?
2 Alvissa: Crossing the Orcrift Mountains, then descending into the Swamp of Terror, in search of the Golden Citadel...
3 Alvissa: ... to seek an audience with the great Dragon Sage Ardaxar and inquire into the possible location of the missing Ruby of Dwarven Might...
4 Alvissa: ... from the ancient and shattered arcane Crown of Power, then returning to claim our reward from the Duke.
4 Lambert: Oh, that.

Ah yes, they're supposed to be on a quest. It's been 170 strips since they supposedly began, and they still haven't gotten anywhere!

That Duke must be one patient guy.
