FIND THEM
KARRAS
Wait! You’re too fast!
FORMOSA
What happened?
KARRAS
What are those?
FORMOSA
I...I don’t...It’s a--
KARRAS
No!!
SPECTATOR #1
AAAAAAKARRAS
Oh no...He’s...he died... He’s dead
he died..
FORMOSA
Karras get back.
KARRAS
That grandstand is so talk. It’s as
tall as an old tree. There is no
way he could have survived that.
Why...Why did he do that?!
FORMOSA
I don’t know...
KARRAS
What is...?
FORMOSA
KARRAS! LOOK OUT!!
KARRAS
What is that?!
RISEN
(growl)
FORMOSA
Risen! Kill It!!
KARRAS
What did I do?!
FORMOSA
Karras! It’s Okay!
KARRAS
What did I do...
FORMOSA
Risen are the dead reanimated by
magic...I can only imagine that
what It was...it’s not your fault.
You saved us.
KARRAS
How...how do you know?
FORMOSA
I don’t, but like you said there
was no chance they could have
survived that fall. I’d heard
stories of them, when I was a
child. My father used to tell us
scary stories, stories he learned
from his father. We thought It was
all in fun...but...
KARRAS
What...What do we do...?
FORMOSA
Do you see Ora or Kevin anywhere?
KARRAS
No...I... No no I... But I don’t
know how I would see anything here.
FORMOSA
Damnit. I can’t tell where the wisp
went...and It does not seem to be
coming back.
This might be It, Karras.
KARRAS
It?
FORMOSA
We may be on our own.
KARRAS
Nuh-uh. Ora is brave, and Kevin
will keep her safe.
FORMOSA
Kevin? That’s nice of you, but...
KARRAS
He won’t let anything happen to
Ora. He’ll find us.
FORMOSA
Kevin can’t stop...
KARRAS
He is stronger then people think! I
know that!
FORMOSA
Alright...well, we’ve gotta get
someplace safe first.
FORMOSA (CONT'D)
Look! There! The watchtower by the
entrance where we came in! We can
be safe and look for them. We’ll
have a good view of the whole arena
from there.
SCENE BRAKE
ORA
Okay, we made It...See? There.
There’s the arena.
KEVIN
Great. Wonderful. I WIll take your
word for It. Just please...let me
rest.
ORA
Come on. We can’t rest, don’t you
hear all the fighting??? We gotta’
go show people the Prophecies.
Kevin
What? Why?! I thought... I thought
we were going to use them to figure
out what was really going on.
ORA
We are, but this proves that this
tournament is all fake!
KEVIN
They don’t care Ora. Lots of people
already think that!
(MORE)
ORA
They’ll care. Every one of these is
different! When they realize
whoever won is a fraud. They’ll
care because they’ve been tricked.
KEVIN
I don’t think so.
ORA
What makes you so sure?
KEVIN
Because being wrong publicly is
hard and when you can avoid It you
do.
ORA
What are you talking about?
Kevin
Nobody wants to be proven a fool...
especially in a big public way. And
if some jerk - you, in this
instance - comes along with a bunch
of “stuff” and “evidence” or
whatever--
ORA
Iron-clad proof.
KEVIN
Proof of what?!
ORA
That...well...that they might not
be the Chosen One! They might have
made up their Prophecy!
KEVIN
You see? Even you aren’t sure how
to feel. I mean, you show these
things to everyone and the response
probably won’t be, “Oh, you’re
right! We’re dumb! You’re smart!
KEVIN (CONT'D)
All better now!” It’ll be like,
“Bullshit, I’m still right and even
if I’m not you can’t disprove It to
my satisfaction so, really, all
you’re doing now is being difficult
and making me feel bad and I’d
rather feel good so a FIGHT TO THE
DEATH IS THE ONLY LOGICAL
SOLUTION!” So, ya’ know, that’s
why.
Ora is genuinely stumped.
ORA
But...that’s so...childish.
KEVIN
...I don’t know how to respond to
that without you hitting me.
ORA
Oh, shut up!
KEVIN
Ah. Well at least now you get It.
KEVIN (CONT'D)
If I have learned anything, it’s
that no one likes to be wrong and
everyone likes to say “I told you
so.” It’s power. Welcome to the
foundation of every issue that the
world has.
What do you think is going on over
there?
ORA
Oh no...
Kevin...
KEVIN
Okay, I’m getting up.
ORA
No! I mean, yes! Get behind that
cart!
KEVIN
What? Which one?
ORA
Grab the chest! Move!!
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KEVIN
Oh no!
CROWD
(yelling)
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
ORA
That’s...that’s the Lusus Naturae
Formosa fought.
KEVIN
I...I saw It die.
ORA
Did I do this?
KEVIN
What? No! What?!
ORA
But, the explosion...magic...I did
magic! Maybe this is a side effect.
If I did magic, maybe the explosion
at Godrick’s...! Maybe I brought
that back by accident...
KEVIN
You are spiraling. Stop! Just
breath. Doesn’t matter at this
point, right? Things are coming
back to life, we need to find
Formosa and Karras.
ORA
OH NO!
KEVIN
Wait! I’ll help.
ORA
WE HAVE TO FIND THEM!!!
KEVIN
Damnit, Ora! Wait up! I’m coming!
ORA
Well, come on!
KEVIN
Where are we going?
ORA
Some place where we can be safe and
see what’s going on.
SCENE BRAKE
FORMOSA
Is the trap door open?
KARRAS
Yes.
KARRAS (CONT'D)
Do you see them? I don’t see them.
Do you see anyone?
FORMOSA
I don’t see them yet. Just a lot
of...slow movements...over there. I
think we’re safe up here unless
they find us. Then we are in
trouble, so let’s stay still.
KARRAS
Good plan.
FORMOSA
Shhhhh!!!!!
KARRAS
Sorry. Good plan.
FORMOSA
We don’t have a lot of time.
SCENE BRAKE
SPECTATOR #24
AAAA!!
RISEN
GURRAAAA!
SPECTATOR #24
HELP!!
ISTEN
UGH!!!
SPECTATOR #24
Some ‘Chosen One’ you turned out to
be.
ISTEN
Maybe if you’d refrained from
attacking me...
SPECTATOR #24
Oh for lands sake!----UGHGHHGHG
RISEN

ISTEN
NOOO!
ISTEN (CONT'D)
See?!
DEAD SPETATOR #24
(Growl)
ISTEN
Oh, no!
I never wanted It to come to this.
SCENE BRAKE
KARRAS
I...I hear something.
FORMOSA
Shhhhh. Me too.
What is that?
(whispering)
Do you hear tha...?
Its the ladder! They’re here. We
can take them out one by one so
long as they come up through the
trap door.
KARRAS
Punch or stab?
FORMOSA
Pick your favorite.
SCENE BRAKE

HAL
HAAA!!
ANN
AAAA. Where is she?!
VORLAUF
ARRRGHHHHH. Beast!
Ah-ha!
HAL
Ugh!!!
LINUS
Thanks...
HAL
Just keep your eyes open.
LINUS
I am! It’s just every time I take
one down, they get back up a minute
later.
ANN
You have to slow them down. Take
off a head or a leg!
Then they can’t get to you.
VORLAUF
Stabbing only seems to slow them
down momentarily, if you’re lucky.
HAL
Vorlauf, do you, do you see her?
How do you even know she’s here?!
VORLAUF
She has friends here. I know It.
Keep looking!
SCENE BRAKE
FORMOSA
When they come up, whack ‘em on the
head. Maybe we can take out a few.
KARRAS
Okay.
FORMOSA
If whoever’s down there doesn’t
come up in a minute, we’re gonna
have to meet those things on our
way out.
KARRAS
I hate them.
FORMOSA
Good. Good.
KEVIN
Ugh... AAAAAAA oof...
FORMOSA
Kevin!
KARRAS
Kevin?
ORA
Kevin?!
FORMOSA
Ora?!
KARRAS
Ora!
ORA
Formosa?
KEVIN
Ooooo.....awww. It’s... It’s just
so... so good to see everybody.
KARRAS
Kevin!
KEVIN
Carl...
KARRAS
No. Karras!
KEVIN
Isn’t that what I said?
Ora
Karras take this!
FORMOSA
You should have said who you were.
ORA
We didn’t know you were there. Here
Kevin, let me help you.
KEVIN
AAHHH! Watch the leg...ugh!
KARRAS
We were trying to be quiet.
KEVIN
Next time that we don’t know if
what’s on the other side of the
door will kill us we will all yell
out our names. How’s that?
KARRAS
I am sorry, Kevin!
KEVIN
It’s alright...you can make It up
to me when I get up there.
KARRAS
How?!
KEVIN
Just don’t hug me.
KARRAS
DEAL!
FORMOSA
Shhhhh.
KARRAS
Deal.
FORMOSA
Karras, see if anyone else is
coming.
Are those...?
ORA
Yes, every single Prophecy from the
tournament, this year and looks
like previous years maybe too.
KARRAS
Good!
FORMOSA
How’d you get away?
ORA
Well, I...I don’t really...
KARRAS
Look...It’s Isten!
ORA
That’s not Isten, it’s just a dead
guy. They’re all undead now,
Karras.
FORMOSA
Are you sure?
KARRAS
That looks like Isten.
KEVIN
I don’t know, he would have been
right in the center of--
ISTEN
Karras!
KEVIN
Well...there goes our silver
lining. It’s Isten.
ISTEN
Karras! You made It!!
KARRAS
You are being too loud!!!
ISTEN
I’m coming!
ORA
Oh, come on! He’s bringing them all
right to us!
FORMOSA
They’re headed this way. We have to
get out of here.
ORA
Where are we going?
FORMOSA
I dunno’. But, we are not sticking
around here to see how many we can
fight off.
KEVIN
Soooo, back down?
ORA
Back down.
FORMOSA
I’ll go first. Karras, bring the
chest.
KARRAS
Got It.
KEVIN
Ora, you go first...it’s going to take me a moment.
ORA
Okay! See you down there.
How does It look?
FORMOSA
Well...Let’s find out.
KEVIN
What’s the plan?
FORMOSA
We are going to have to run...
ORA
Everyone ready?
KARRAS
(grunts)
KEVIN
Uh-hu...
ORA
On your call, Formosa.
ISTEN
It’s you!
EVERYONE
(Screams)
KEVIN
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
KARRAS
SHHHHHHHH!!
ISTEN
(Laughing)
I’m so glad to see you!
ORA
It’s not mutual!
FORMOSA
We must go...NOW!!!!
ISTEN
Wait. Karras, I’m coming with you.
I know I...
KARRAS
No! Ugh!
ISTEN
Oooff....

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
VORLAUF

Vorlauf!
HAL
Where are you--?
VORLAUF
It’s her!!
SCENE BRAKE
ORA
Kevin. Doing alright?
KEVIN
It’s getting better. Don’t think
any lasting damage. Just going to
take me a-a minute.
ORA
Where are we going?
FORMOSA
There’s the houses of the people
who actually live here. Real walls
at the very least.
KARRAS
This chest is getting heavy.
ORA
It’s important. Once we’re clear of
all this, maybe I can go through
all the Prophecies and figure out
what It all means.
FORMOSA
Hey, where is Isten?
KARRAS
Who?
KEVIN
I have always liked you!
KARRAS
Really?
KEVIN
Well...not always...but long
enough.
ORA
Formosa, I have to tell you...
I did magic.
KEVIN
Ora! No!!
FORMOSA
What?! No. You can’t do magic.
ORA
I did! I mean, I think I did.
That’s how I got away and got the
Prophecies.
KARRAS
You did...??
KEVIN
You think you might have. You said
It yourself you don’t know.
ORA
Damn It, Kevin! You weren’t there
either! Fine, I might have, then!
This may be my fault...
FORMOSA
There is no way that...
ORA
Uff. What?
KARRAS
Ora, you Okay?
VORLAUF
There...STOP!
ORA
It’s him...
FORMOSA
We’ve got to get out of here!
VORLAUF
ANN! HAL!! IT’S THEM!!
ORA
-- shit! Go back!! Go back!
KEVIN
Not unless you want to join the
dead!
FORMOSA
Through the tents!!
VORLAUF
AFTER THEM!
ANN
Look out!!
RISEN
(Growl)
VORLAUF
AAAAA!
HAL
Got It! Cheeky bustard.
VORLAUF
HURRY!!
LINUS
I...I Can’t!
ANN
None of us can.
VORLAUF
AFTER THEM!!
SCENE BRAKE
FORMOSA
Look! There is the entrance! We can
just run to the forest.
KEVIN
Oh thank goodness! We can get out
of here!
ORA
WAIT!!
KEVIN
What?! What is It?!
ORA
Oh no! I...Formosa...
FORMOSA
What?! What’s wrong?!
ORA
Where is Spirit?!
SCENE BRAKE
ISTEN
Oh no, where did they go?
Damnit! I can’t believe I’m doing
this.
SCENE BRAKE
VORLAUF
Where did they go?
ANN
I...I need to stop...I need a
minute.
HAL
I hate to agree with Ann, Vorlauf,
but I must. We got away from the
dead guys...
VORLAUF
But where did the girl go?!
LINUS
For the love of the
land...oh...(Vomits)
VORLAUF
They can’t have gotten away...
COME ON.
SCENE BRAKE
FORMOSA
This way!
KEVIN
We better hurry, we’re being
followed.
FORMOSA
It’s not far. It was right outside
the gate.
KARRAS
Ora, I’m sorry! I didn’t even
think... I should have thought.
ORA
I should have, too. We just have to
find her.
KEVIN
If I die ‘cause of this horse...
KARRAS
What?!
KEVIN
I uh...nothing.
FORMOSA
There! It’s right up there!
Kevin, help me with the door.
ORA
Spirit!
SPIRIT
(Whinnies)
ORA
Thank goodness you’re safe.
KEVIN
Ora, I hate to be the bearer of bad
news. But like I said...we’re being
followed.
ORA
Release the horses!
KARRAS
YES!
KEVIN
Where are they going to go?
KARRAS
I do not know. But better than
being dead. HEAY! Go, get! Get out
of here Heya!
ORA
Spirit, you have to run!
You have to go without me. You have
to get to safety.
KARRAS
Wait!
ORA
What? She has to go!
KARRAS
Here, the prophecies. Put them in
these saddle bags.
ORA
Oh great idea!
FORMOSA
They are getting closer. We have to
go!
KEVIN
Where?
FORMOSA
There is a house around back where
the owners of the stable live. I’m
guessing they’re long gone. It’s
not great, but It has real walls.
ORA
Okay thats all of them.
Spirit, look at me.
SPIRIT
(blows)
ORA
I will be fine. I can’t leave
everyone. Go.
SPIRIT
(Whinnies)
KEVIN
Ora, we have to go!
What?!
SPIRIT
(Growls)
KEVIN
This is not my fault, you dumb
horse!
SPIRIT
(Neighs)
KEVIN
Alright, alright. Alright
FORMOSA
Everyone, THIS WAY!!
KARRAS
Ora, are you Okay?
ORA
She will find me again...she always
does.
KEVIN
Hey, in here!
FORMOSA
Karras, you watch the door. Kevin,
watch the windows.
ORA
Kevin...what if, what if this is my
fault and they are following me
some how?
KEVIN
It’s not.
ORA
Why don’t you believe me?
FORMOSA
Ora, there is no way that you could
have done any of this without
knowing you could do magic. I grew
up with the magic of the forest and
I thought risen weren’t real.
KEVIN
Here they come!
KARRAS
Shhh!
KEVIN
Karras! Let me help! Ora, the
window!
ORA
I got It.
KARRAS
I think they hear us.
KEVIN
Look out!
ORA
I’m on It!
Ora stabs the thing through its head, and It pulls back. Ora
shuts the wood slats over the window.
FORMOSA
There! There’s a board next to the
window. It locks them.
ORA
I see It.
ORA (CONT'D)
Come on Ora...if you can do magic
this would be a really good time.
KARRAS
Uh...should...I get that?
ORA
Hello? Who’s out there??
FORMOSA
Look, look. Under the door. It
looks like there’s a bright
light...
KEVIN
Is that...good?
FORMOSA
No idea...
ORA
Go ahead, Karras... No wait, wait.
Kevin, you open It. Karras, get out
your bow.
KEVIN
Ya’ know...I think this is a sign
from the world that I should take
up the bow...
ORA
Just get the door...everyone ready?
KEVIN
Okay...
ELIZABETH
Took you long enough! I opened my
door for you faster then that...
and no one was trying to kill you!
