Gobo Gazette

Panel 1
A wide shot shows a row of buildings, with the softly lit lamppost street receding back towards one of the city gates. More light emanates from the windows of these homes and business and inside the closest - with frosted letters spelling out "Abbigliamento da Avventura" - a pair of mannequins are adorn in fancy leather armor. Puccini is reaching for the door handle to the shop when the wizard turns to address the gobos, disguised with his illusory magic to look like gnomes. Hob looks up to the wizard to give a reply as Nik remains alert and Wak gestures with a hand back to Pōk to catch up.
Puccini, whispering: "So, you were all in here? Just across the way?"
Hob, whispering: "<All except Pōk with the note.>"

Panel 2
A close up reveals Puccini placing his hand on the door knob...
Hob, whispering offscreen: "<But we are ready to go.>"

Panel 3
...only to suddenly retract it...
Hob, whispering offscreen: "<Nak is paying the shopkeeper now.>"

Panel 4
...before quickly grasping it and giving it a turn.
Sound FX: "Turn!"

Panel 5
From inside the shop, the door is flung open as a worried Puccini steps into the light with a halting hand outstretched. Nik and Hob remain outside, stopped in their tracks by the wizard's abrupt entry. Wak and Pōk's hat are just visible behind them.
Puccini, shouting: "Stop!"

Panel 6
A large view of the shop is revealed, offering a number of items. Various unique items are in alcoves above a number of drawers set into the back wall and there are a couple cases in view with hats on display stands on their tops. Within are a variety of shirts, belts, gloves, belt pouches, and fabrics. The elven shopkeeper glances up and speaks to the new arrivals (offscreen) while leaning over the counter that separates the back wall from the sales floor, lowering down a string wrapped bundle of clothing to Fip, who glances back towards the front of the shop with a grin. In the foreground. The gobo archer's short sleeve shirt has been replaced with a blousy white long-sleeved shirt tucked into bracers with a green vest's cap sleeves peeking out from under the leather armor. Fip's breeches have been exchanged for a thicker, darker green trousers and the boots now have a white fur trim. In the foreground, Nak turns dramatically toward the shop's entrance, a dark blue cape with a gray fur inner lining twirls. The blue short-sleeved shirt and breeches have been replaced with a thicker long-sleeved garment and longer, darker pants. One of Nak's now-gloved hands rest on a hip while the other gestures casually towards the shop door (offscreen).
Shopkeeper: "Um... greetings guest? There's still time before we close. I'll be with you in a moment."

Panel 7
Back at the door in a closeup, Puccini's face twists in confusion, he fingers of his outstretched hand curling impenitently...

Panel 8
...before they reach up to pull his cloak away from his neck. An embarrassed Puccini takes a step to the side as he replies to the shopkeeper (offscreen)
Puccini: "Oh! Heheh. No. I mean we were... adding to the purchase."

Panel 9
Meanwhile, behind another case in a different part of the shop, a pair of individuals are looking at an unfolded large piece of parchment, its blank back hides their faces while the three hats on the case top add to their concealment...
Shopkeeper, offscreen: "Fantastic! What are you looking for?"

Panel 10
...but they slowly lower the parchment to scrutinize the new shoppers (offscreen), revealing two of the bandits that first encountered the gobos when they first ventured away from their cave: a large man with thick eyebrows and a shaven head, and a leaner man with long brown sideburns jutting down from under a green and white striped cap. Both do not look friendly.
Puccini, offscreen: "Uh... got any scroll cases?"
