through for me!

Don't touch me.

OK, just a little bit.

We're in.

How about you?

I don't see what choice I have.

Just tell me one thing--

If I help, who'll pay me?

We'll worry about that later.

That's a terrible way

to do business.

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it!

Get out of here!

Ridley, check it out.

Let's go.

Listen, we're looking for

esteemed Guildmaster Xilus.

We thought you'd know him.

The only thing I know is...

you ought to take your business

out of town...

before you get the words

"outsiders not appreciated"...

branded right where

your nose used to be.

Get it?

Thanks for your time!

If I ain't drinking,

you sure ain't shopping!

Come on!

There you are!

Where have you been?

Don't look at us, all right?

We're just shopping.

Is that three-eyed

hyphen bastard watching us?

If we follow him...

he'll probably lead us

into the Guild.

There he goes.

Let's go.

Come on.

Elwood, we'll go in.

You keep a lookout.

Nice.

Isn't that Tollum?

The guy

that kidnapped the Duke of--

Let's keep 'em walking.

Let's go find Xilus.

That won't be necessary.

Like I said,

"Outsiders not appreciated."

You was talking to us?

We was confused

'cause your third eye...

was looking at somebody

completely different.

Take 'em away!

Don't touch me!

Get off me! Get off of me!

Where do you think

they took Snails?

Don't worry. He'll be fine.

Just let me do the talking.

So this is it?

Everything a Thief strives for?

You must be Xilus.

Ridley Freeborn. Practitioner

of the larcenous crafts.

Member in good standing

of the Sumdall Guild.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

A fellow Thief.

The pleasure's all mine.

See?

Sumdall, eh?

How is old Sumdall?

That's a pretty tough town,

isn't it?

All those Mages.

We get by.

Yes, well, I think you

must be very accomplished...

to have such a precious morsel

traveling with you.

What might I do for you?

The unity of our kingdom--

We understand you have something

called the Eye of the Dragon.

We desperately need it.

Yes, well, I'm always happy

to help a fellow Thief.

Have you ever heard

of the Antius Guild Maze?

Of course.

Every Thief has heard of it.

Wonderful.

Then you'll know

that the Eye of the Dragon...

is the prize at the center

of my Guild Maze, won't you?

You finish the maze,

you win the prize.

Has anyone ever

finished it before?

They all died trying.

But look on the bright side.

At least the prize

is still there.

Good health.

And jolly good luck.

This is a good one, Ridley.

That's no fair!

-I give him forty seconds.

-Nah, a minute.

I can't believe they're betting

on whether or not he lives.

Au contraire, precious morsel.

They're betting on

how long before he dies.

Be careful, Ridley!

Oh, my.

This is not right!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Very clever.

But is clever enough?

Come on,

the game ain't over yet.

Very light on his feet,

isn't he?

What kind of vault is that?

I think she needs

to visit her friend.

Nice.

Well, yes, yes, yes.

Very clever. Well done, you.

-You were absolutely amazing.

-Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Thank you.

I waited fifteen years

for someone to pick that lock.

I knew the man

that could survive that maze...

would be able to

get into that vault.

And now, here he is.

The man. You.

Why don't you give me

what's rightfully mine?

What about honor

amongst Thieves?

What a romantic notion.

Do you honestly believe

I could've amassed my wealth...

if I worried about honor?

So, pretty boy...

if you don't want Hugo here...

to rearrange your features

for you...

I suggest you just give it up.

Who the hell is he?

Who the hell are you?

I don't know who you are...

but be prepared

for a lesson in pain.

You must be joking.

I never joke when Mages trespass

in my Guild!

This is the map you're after.

Clear a path,

and I'll put it out.

Do it.

Let go of me!

You OK?

We got to save Marina.

Wait. What about the Dwarf?

You get the Dwarf,

I'll get the girl.

Wait. How come I always

got to get the Dwarf?

Damn!

Ridley, we already

have the Dragon's Eye.

Let's take it to Sumdall

and sell it.

Snails, we're not leaving

without Marina.

Listen to you, Ridley!

You're going to risk your life

for a Mage?

Listen, Snails--

What?

I wouldn't do that...

if I were you.

Hey, it's you.

You know her?

We're acquainted.

Is that the Elf

you were drooling over?

I wouldn't put it that way.

But, yeah, that's her.

Pretty, huh?

They all look alike to me.

Silence!

Where is the girl?

None of your business.

Wrong, Human.

It is my business to arrest you

and Marina of Pretensa...

and to take you

and the scroll you stole...

back to the Empress of Izmer.

So you're the law, are you?

I should have known.

One of your fellow lawmen--

in fact, the Chief

of the Crimson Brigade--

beat you to the punch.

He just took off with Marina!

-Damodar.

-That's him.

Only he's not working

for the law anymore.

He's working for Profion.

He's the one you want, not us.

Your Majesty.

Yes, Norda.

Have you found me the scroll?

No, Your Highness.

I have unfortunate tidings

to report.

It seems Profion

also seeks the Rod.

But how could he know?

I do not know, milady.

Damodar has captured

Marina of Pretensa...

and the scroll...

but I have her companions

in my custody.

What is your command?

Seek Damodar out.

We need that Rod.

The Council demands my response

imminently.

Norda, please hurry.

Our time is running out.

As you wish.

Gather the horses.

We will track Damodar.

They will travel with us.

Should they try to escape...

kill them.

Tell me...

Why were you

at the Thieves Guild?

It isn't exactly

a sightseeing spot, is it?

We needed money for supplies.

You'll have to do better

than that.

I'm curious.

You're a Mage...

and yet you're

disgracing your family...

by consorting with Thieves.

You're a disgrace to Izmer,

conspiring against the Empress.

I have no dispute with her.

You know me.

I have served her family loyally

for many a year.

It is Profion's desire

to dethrone her...

not mine.

Then why do you help him?

Look at me.

Look at me!

If I do not obtain the Rod...

I will die.

Please...

help me.

I'm sorry, but l...

I cannot help you.

Foolish girl.

I can suck...

the information I want...

right out of you.

Your friends have procured...

the Eye of the Dragon...

from the Thieves Maze.

A key...

of some sort.

Can't I just walk?

Don't you people know Dwarves

are terrified of horses?

Get over it.

A lot of Dwarves are afraid

to show their true feelings.

I'm not, OK?

They followed the valley.

I know these lands.

There's a shortcut up ahead.

Through the forest

and over those hills.

It means leaving the trail...

but if Damodar sets up camp

and we ride all night...

we stand a good chance

of cutting him off.

All right, let's go.

I love the way you track.

You wouldn't happen

to be single, are you?

What?

There's no harm in asking

is there?

It just so happens
