A thick burgundy velvet curtain hangs across the stage, completely
concealing anything that might be behind it.

Welcome to the theater ladies and gentlemen! Please take advntage of the
playbills being sold in the gallery. They recap Part 1 and introduce the
cast. The play will begin as soon as we sort out a few last costume
difficulties.

Suddenly hundreds of torches placed around the auditorium light up as one
as the curtains part, illuminating the set in all its glory.

A stoney cavern, both dank and dimly lit. The only source of light
streams in from the left; the setting obviously located just at the
cave's entrance. The rock walls glisten with droplets of moisture
as they collect on occasional patches of green and brown moss, and
form into small pools upon the floor.

{*} Philia says, "But Oh, I am so horny--you will do!"
{*} Philia says, "Tonight, since I see you're not an elf"

A loud whistle echoes from backstage. Check ... him ... out!

{*} Narrator says, "So the nasty brute took this hideous creature"
{*} Narrator says, "Hideously beautiful in his sight"
{*} Narrator says, "Back to his bed for a frolicking night"

-> {*} Narrator pauses momentarily...

A rather loud creaking sound fills the entire auditorium, followed by a
rhythmic thump thump thump, which is punctuated by the occasional scream of
pleasure.

From far off the voice of Philia calls out "Oops! That part wasn't supposed
to come off!"

{*} Narrator says, "But Momma had seen the two"
{*} Narrator says, "And as she watched, her rage grew and grew."
{*} Narrator says, "Or she would lose her son to the undead, ahem, lady"

{*} Crog says, "Me say she STAY."
{*} Helga says, "She stay no way!"

-> {*} Helga whacks Crog over the head with her rolling pin, giving off a
    resounding *THUD*

-**THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD**-

You hear an echo from far off, "Udd... ud.. ud"

-> {*} Helga grabs Crog by the ear, and with a good hard twist pulls him away
    from Philia
