I don't know! You're the foreigner!

[ He's just busy running down to the front foyer, shoving a rug aside to reveal a trap door. ]

To the battlefield! You cannot miss it! [ The raven croaks. ]

[dramatispersonae]

[ To the battlefield with you! ]

[ I hope you realize this ship lacks weaponry... ]
