A closeup on four wasteland tribals standing near Roslori's town wall. A broken cart sits in the scene, dwarfed by a green-shirted tribal standing nearby, investigating it. Another tribal, in a yellow vest, is poking at something on the street which we can't see. A third, wearing a red top, is standing around idle with her arms behind her back. A fourth, in a blue shirt is just glancing around. They all stand there, silent. (all spoken text is represented with angle-brackets to indicate it being translated from the tribals' language) The blue-shirted tribal breaks the silence with an awkward "So... did... anyone see where She went?". The yellow-vested tribal hazards a response, "I... no." The blue-shirted turns to the red-topped one and asks, "Does anybody know why we chased off the walled-city people?" She stammers, "N-no, not really." The green-shirted tribal in the back with the cart comments, "I wish we didn't. They always seemed nice." The blue-shirted one follows up with "But that IS what She wanted us to do... right?" The yellow-vested tribal shrugs and responds, "I think so? When She grew huge, She was pointing to the city." In the back, the green-shirted tribal notes, "I was just following everyone else." "So where did she go?", the blue-shirted tribal asks. "Is... is this some sort of test? What do we-" is all he gets out before he is interrupted by a fifth tribal, not wearing a shirt, entering the scene from the right. He is carrying a shield, longbow, war hammer, and axe, each of which would be large, heavy equipment for non-tribal races, but appear to be of normal size compared to all present. He says, "Hey, check out what I found!"
