Adventurer Story Episodes

Episode 1

Enter the Karlsplosion

Elisanne: You've led us on quite the merry chase, but there's nowhere left to run.

Elisanne: We know you're the one who stole into our castle, thief.

Thief: Rgh... Like a pack of dogs, you are.

Euden: The authorities will give you ample time to reflect on your actions. Now, come—

???: Justiiice SCREAMING COMET SMAAASH!

Elisanne: Huh?! What is— *cough* *cough*

Elisanne: I can't see anything through this cloud of dust... Hey! You there! Wait!

Thief: I dunno who you are, pal, but thanks! So long, suckers!

Elisanne: Oh, blast it all! He's getting away! ...You! Explain yourself! Who are you, and what do you think you're doing?!

Karl: Heh. I'm glad you asked...

Karl: The name is Karl. The Karlsplosion! The Inkarldescent! And what I do...is JUSTICE!

Elisanne: ...I beg your pardon?

Karl: My name is synonymous with justice the continent over! ...Well, it will be soon.

Karl: You there, villain!

Euden: Er, you seem to be pointing at me, but—

Karl: Yes, you! I saw the whole thing from afar!

Karl: Ganging up on that poor defenseless man along with your henchman. For shame!

Karl: The world may turn a blind eye to your crimes, but my justice never blinks!

Karl: Prepare yourself! Justiiice SHATTER!

Euden: Okay, hang on just a second here!

Karl: He dodged?!

Karl: You fear the blade of justice?! The true mark of a villain is ever cowardice!

Euden: The man you saw just now is a thief. He broke into our castle and raided our stores, so we were trying to catch him.

Karl: HNWHAAAT?!

Elisanne: Had he merely been hungry and stealing food, we might have turned a blind eye, but next he ransacked our storehouse.

Elisanne: He's helped himself to valuables from the nearby townsfolk of late, too.

Karl: GRNK?!

Elisanne: And we finally had him pinned down. ...Until you arrived, that is.

Karl: ...One second.

Thief: LEMME GO!

Karl: Ha HA! THIS was the villain all along!

Karl: I brought him around the local villages to have him identified, and there can be no mistaking this. Justice...is served!

Elisanne: Justice is...very, very fast.

Euden: You just left. I mean, JUST now.

Karl: Justice rides upon a screaming fireball!

Karl: And today, so does epiphany... For I have seen it!

Karl: The flames of justice burn bright in you. I must join my flame to yours and stoke it into a raging JUSTICE INFERNO!

Elisanne: That sounds extremely dangerous. Are you proposing to join us, or to engage in arson?

Euden: If it's the former, I'm all for it. The more the merrier.

Euden: Arson, er...less so.

Karl: Haaah ha ha ha! Then let us join forces and set our sights...

Karl: ...on JUSTICE!!!

Episode 2

For JUSTICE!

Karl: Well met, dear grandmother type! That's quite the load you're carrying. Allow me to help you!

Old Lady: Oh, you needn't bother. I'm nearly home.

Karl: No, no. I insist...for JUSTICE!

Old Lady: Ahh! Get back here! Somebody help! Thief! THIEF!

Karl: Are you lost, miss? I shall deliver you safely home!

Waiting Woman: No, I'm meeting my sweetheart here.

Karl: Then I shall deliver you to him... with JUSTICE!

Waiting Woman: GAH!

Boyfriend: HEY! Let my girlfriend go, you monster! Somebody help! Kidnapper! KIDNAPPER!

Karl: Someone's dumped a mountain of garbage here!

Karl: I'll see it to the junkyard straightaway... because JUSTICE!

Cleaning Man: All my furniture! I just put it outside to dust it off as part of my annual cleaning! Somebody help! Idiot! IDIOT!

Cleo: ...We've received a stack of complaints from the nearby villages.

Cleo: ＂Kindly put a leash on the one going about screaming 'JUSTICE!'＂ ＂Stop the bad justice man.＂ They go on...

Karl: Incomprehensible. I've merely been carrying out justice!

Euden: Your intentions are admirable, but your methods are a bit...extreme.

Euden: Can't you tone it down just a bit?

Karl: Impossible!

Karl: Justice burns hotter than the sun! My passion cannot be bridled!

Cleo: Oh, I see. He's one of those types who's so full of himself he's unwilling to listen.

Euden: Hmm. Let's try a different approach. Karl, what was it that first sparked this flame inside you?

Karl: I grew up in a terribly poor village. Nearly a ghost town, really.

Karl: What little we had was stripped from us by outlaws.

Karl: ...Until the day HE showed up.

Karl: He defeated the band of rogues who tormented us in the blink of an eye. He saved our village!

Karl: When I looked at him, I saw justice!

Karl: And I knew that was what I had to become.

Karl: So I put my back to home and set off on a journey to go justice all the justice I could justice!

Euden: That DOES sound quite justice!

Euden: But why did that man fight the outlaws plaguing your village, do you think?

Karl: Isn't it obvious?! For JUSTICE!

Karl: Taking down villains needs no reason!

Euden: Are you sure?

Euden: I wonder if his aim wasn't to bring a bit of happiness to a suffering village. To put the smiles back on your faces.

Karl: Smiles, you say?

Euden: I wonder if that isn't what you really saw in him. What you wanted to emulate.

Karl: I see... Yes, I see!

Karl: True justice would be putting a smile on YOUR face, Euden!

Euden: Come again?

Karl: Prepare yourself! Justiiice...TICKLE!

Euden: GAH! S-stop that! This is— HA HA HA! This is undignified! HA HA HA HA HA!

Cleo: *sigh* This is hopeless.

Episode 3

What Is Justice?

Euden: Something's wrong. These fiends' numbers aren't normal!

Euden: And those thieves with them—

Ranzal: Ya noticed too? The urn they're carryin' is controllin' the fiends.

Karl: SMAAAAAASH!

Karl: I heard a distant cry...for JUSTICE! Make way for the Karlsplosion, people!

Karl: Looks like you're outnumbered, my friends.

Karl: Which means it's time I joined the fray! Prepare yourselves, fiends!

Euden: Your timing's impeccable, Karl!

Euden: Everyone, fall in behind him! We'll clear the fiends out first!

Euden: Excellent work! That's the last of those!

Euden: Next, we strip that urn from the thieves and round them up!

Karl: Right. Any villains who'd draft an army of fiends to do their nefarious bidding deserve a double helping of JUSTICE!

Karl: PREPARE YOUR— Wait a second.

Euden: Now's really not the time for introspective pauses, Karl!

Karl: I helped these guys the other day!

Karl: They were being attacked by fiends, so I made with the justice.

Thief: Oh hey! It's you, buddy!

Thief: Didn't think the guy who helped us steal this urn would turn around and try to take it from us.

Karl: I did WHAT?!

Thief: Yeah. We tried to buy it off a black market fence, but he decided we looked like easy marks and made to gouge us.

Thief: Soon as we called the guy out on it, he used the damn thing to sic his pack of guard fiends on us.

Thief: Except that's when—

Ranzal: Karl showed up and took out the fiends.

Ranzal: Which let these jokers steal the urn.

Thief: We're proper thankful. This little gem's made all our jobs since go smooth as silk! Keh heh ha ha ha!

Karl: What have I done...?

Thief: You're basically an accomplice in all this, friend. Why not just let us go?

Karl: I'm not the hero... I'm one of the outlaws?

Ranzal: Ugh. I ain't got time for this!

Ranzal: Euden! Back me up! With the fiends gone, the two of us can finish this!

Euden: Er, right! I'm with you!

Ranzal: ...Whew. One urn confiscated, and one pack'a thieves trussed up real tight. That's everything sorted.

Ranzal: Well, almost everything. Karl, how ya holding up there?

Karl: Everything I stood for was a lie... My life is a hollow mockery of justice...

Ranzal: Yikes.

Euden: Come now, Karl. We all make mistakes.

Euden: It's what we do after that matters.

Karl: What we do after... *inhale*

Karl: JUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

Euden: Waugh?! That was a little sudden! And exceptionally loud...

Karl: You're right. I'll take some time to ponder what justice truly means to me! Ha HAA ha ha ha!

Euden: Well, at least he's back in high spirits.

Ranzal: I think I liked him better depressed.

Episode 4

True Justice

Euden: Karl is moving slow? ...THAT Karl?

Elisanne: Yes, and he's off lost in his head in the middle of combat.

Elisanne: If this keeps up, it's only a matter of time before he ends up in some fiend's belly.

Ranzal: Think he's still mullin' things over after his little mistake earlier?

Ranzal: He did say somethin' about ponderin' the true meaning of justice.

Euden: Hmm, but how can we help him find his answer?

Notte: Bad, bad, very bad! You've gotta come to the village! HURRY!

Karl: Easy, now. Put down the weapon and let the woman go.

Woman: Heeelp! Let me go, you brute! I shall swoon!

Man: You squeezed every last coin out of me, drove me into debt, raided my parents' estate, and gave it all to another man!

Woman: Yeah, and whose fault is it for being too stupid to see that?!

Woman: You're an empty bucket, loser! Now hurry up and kick it!

Karl: Rgh, clearly the man holding the woman at knifepoint is bad, yet her duplicity is the root cause!

Karl: So...which one do I smash? How is justice done?!

Man: Enough... I'm through talking to you! This is farewell forever! HrrRAAAH!

Karl: No!

Woman: Aaah!

Euden: HRAH! ...Your blade lies broken, sir. Get ahold of your emotions.

Karl: Euden!

Man: Aah... Curse you, woman. *sob* Curse you!

Euden: ......

Woman: Ahh ha ha ha! A fine sight you are! You're pathetic!

Woman: Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with my new lover.

Euden: You have a date with the authorities, madam.

Euden: They'll see you atone for the fraud you perpetrated against this man.

Woman: What?! No!

Karl: ...You didn't hesitate at all. You stepped in and meted out perfectly balanced justice.

Karl: Me, I was paralyzed. Lost in worrying who was right or wrong.

Karl: I feel ashamed. Angry at myself!

Karl: Please, Euden! Teach me!

Karl: What do I need to do to be able to serve justice as you do?!

Euden: Believe me, I'm no avatar of justice.

Euden: Her life was in danger, so I acted.

Euden: But his grievances were also valid, so I held her accountable.

Euden: Nothing more.

Karl: I see... It isn't about what you do, but the cause that guides your actions.

Karl: I... I think I see it now!

Karl: I know what I want to do! What I must!

Euden: I'm glad to hear it!

Karl: Justice isn't some distant ideal to be chased!

Karl: It's in every act of consideration, every bit of concern, every chastisement! My true journey of justice begins here!

Karl: I am Karl! Man...

Karl: ...of JUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

Episode 5

The Real Deal

Euden: Hellooo? Come on out, kids!

Euden: Your mothers are worried! They sent us to find you!

Notte: Yeesh, which one of the little geniuses thought it'd be a good idea to wander into the Banewood alone?

Notte: I sure hope they live long enough to learn better!

Euden: You shouldn't even joke about that. This place is home to dangerous fiends.

Euden: And the nasty weather limits visibility.

???: WaaAAAaAAAaaUGH!

Notte: The children!

Euden: Where are they?!

Girl: *sob* H-heeelp!

Boy: Anyone, please! HELP!

Fiend: SKREEEEE!

???: Justiiice SCREAMING COMET SMAAASH!

Boy: Wh-who are you, mister?!

Karl: The name's Karl. The Karlsplosion! The Inkarldescent! Man...of JUSTICE!

Fiend: Grrrrrr!

Karl: I bear you no grudge, fiends. Let these children be, and we'll leave your territory!

Fiend: GrrrROAAAWR!

Karl: Not in the mood for diplomacy, eh? Justiiice SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION!

Boy: H-he cleared 'em all out in one hit!

Euden: The voices were coming from this direc— Karl?! What are you doing here?

Karl: I heard a pair of village children had gone missing, so I came running!

Karl: Both of them are safe and sound!

Euden: Oh, whew!

Girl: You were amazing, mister!

Karl: Thank you, little lady!

Karl: But I'm also very cross with you both. Do you know why?

Girl: Be...cause we went into the Banewood even though we weren't s'posed to?

Karl: Because you made your mother worry.

Karl: The other villagers told you it wasn't safe here, didn't they?

Boy: B-but we wanted a secret base someplace everybody else was too scared to go! It was gonna be awesome...

Karl: Being awesome is definitely important.

Karl: But being considerate of others' feelings is even more important. It doesn't get any awesomer than that.

Karl: Once you've got that down, you'll be able to bring a smile to people's faces. And that's what I call justice!

Boy: ...Justice!

Notte: Heh. Karl sounds like a hero over there.

Euden: Yep. That's the real deal right there.

Karl: Now, shout it to the heavens! All together now...

Karl: JUSTIIIICE!!!
