Scenario:THE FREEZE - Ending

THE FREEZE - Ending

After enjoying a banquet of fresh trollkrabbe, the group rows back to harbor. Seeing that his friends are tired, Soriz proposes to take the crew to a secret hot spring called Sølv Huset springs. (Captain) agrees, and the party heads there without delay. While everybody is bathing however, Soriz disappears to look for some secret buried treasure that he has heard is hidden in the springs. But, for some unknown reason, maybe because his eyes are so tired, he mistakes his bathing friends for a treasure chest. The shock of seeing naked men where he expected to be gold and diamonds causes him to fall into the spring, roaring with despair.

After a long stuggle, (Captain) and the crew have sucessfulyl caught a giant trollkrabbe

The crab is immediately cooked up, and everybody gathers on deck to feast on the delicious meat.

Vyrn: Astrals above! This is sooo tasty! It's just as good as you said it would be!

Lyria: It's really sweet too! Trollkrabbe is so yummy!

Joel: This is the first time I've eaten a crab this delicious…

Soriz: Oho, it's like a mountain of meat! I'm gonna stuff my face! C'mon, (Captain), you can eat more too, I'm sure!

Friendly Fisherman: Hey, your cup is empty, here have some grog, Agielba!

Agielba: Hey hey, don't spill it now! This is the best day of my life!

Eugen: Hey, what do you like better, grog or trollkrabbe?

Agielba: I beg your pradon!

Eugen: Haha, I'm messin' with ya! This trollkrabbe is way better than any grog, or any shellfish you can get on shore for that matter!

Vane: Hey Lancey, do you want to try some of the brown meat?

Lancelot: You know, Vane. You should stop worrying about me all the time and just enjoy the crab meat!

Vane: Hahaha, Lancey, you're so nice! OK, right… I'm gonna take a bite!
Dancing dragons… It's delicious! It's sooooo delicious!

Ippatsu: I… I have to take this ambrosia of the sea to my master…

Ippatsu: But, how can I get it to him? By airship? Hmmm…

The banquet continues until almost dawn.

The sun rises over the trawler as it makes it way back to the makeshift harbour.

There to greet the men who step off the boat is the sun, bright in the cloudless sky, and the snowy landscape of Nørdvast.

The fishermen reluctantly say farewell and one by one, head back to their homes.

Ardora: Daddy! Welcome back!

Agielba: Ardora? You came out here to meet me!

Agielba and Ardora hug one another, reunited at last.

Ardora: I waited here every day for you to come home, daddy!

Agielba: What! You're very brave, Ardora!

Ardora: Daddy! Daaady!

Vane: Awww, what a moving reunion…

Vyrn: Isn't it nice for them! But anyway…

Vyrn: That trip was super tiring… My body is creaking like an old tree!

Soriz: Heh heh, we should go and relax in the secret hot spring!

Eugen: H-how did you find out about that, Soriz?

Soriz: I asked one of the fishermen while we were eating the trollkrabbe and he happened to know!

Soriz: Sølv Huset hot spring is nestled between two sheer cliffs that rise out the snowscape.

Ippatsu: Whoa! I cant image a better sounding place to bathe.

Soriz: So whaddaya say, (Captain)? Shall we go and rest our acheing bones?

Lyria: Ooooooooo, (Captain), I wanna go too!

Joel: I think it sounds like a perfect way to unwind.

Soriz: Right! Then let's get going!

(Captain) and the crew head through the snowfields toward Sølv Huset hot spiring.

Sure enough, just as Sorix had said, nestled snuggly between two cliffs, is Sølv Huset hot spring.

(Captain) and the crew are surprised at the wealth of facilities at the hot spring and decide to stay awhile.

Everybody slips into the waters of the hot spring apart from one man, Soriz.

Soriz: I'm back! Now, where's that buried treasure… I hope I find you soon, oh beautiful pirate booty….

Soriz: This treasure… it will be as if I found Eldorado! All the effort scrambling in these bushes will be worth it!

Soriz: Oh wait for me, sweet treasure, wait for me…

With the passion of a treasure hunter sparkling like sapphires in his eyes, Soriz climbs the wall of the hot spring.

Soriz: (What's that… I see the shape amid the steam… could it be… a treasure chest?)

???: Hey, could you pass me the soap?

???: Oh sure! Here.

Soriz: …Hey wait, that's… OH NO, MY EYES!

Soriz is shocked by the sight of his friends in the bath, and flings his hands up to cover his eyes, letting go of the wall…

He falls, arms flailing like an octopus, directly into the hot spring, making a huge splash.

Eugen: Hey, who's that! Somebody just jumped into the water!

Jin: Soriz? You're in high spirits, practicing your cannonballs… There are other costumers here you know…

Soriz: (How could I, Soriz, the most keen treasure hunter of them all, mistake a man for a treasure chest…)

Soriz: (It's impossible… I mean… they aren't even remotely the same shape or size…)

Eugen: …Soriz? What are you doing? Hey come up! You're gonna drown if you stay down there much longer! Hey, Soriz!

Soriz: AHHHHHHHHH! WHY ARE YOU MEN?

Eugen: …What? I think he might have drank too much sea water…

Soriz: But… he told me it would be here! But, there's no treasure in sight, only naked men! DAMN YOU ZANZAAAAAA!

Lyria: Hey, is that Soriz's voice?

Vyrn: Hmm? Naa, you must be hearing things…

Lyria: You think? Maybe I imagined it…

Vyrn: Ahhhh, You know, milk tastes best when you've just got out of the bath…

Lyria: Teehee, but it's still not as good as that trollkrabbe! That was the scrummiest thing in the skies!

Vyrn: Yeah, it was delicious, wasn't it… But yanno, I think I've had enough of boats and crabs for now. What about you, (Captain)?

(Captain) nods deeply in agreement, sipping their milk, content in the warm waters of the hot spring.

For the crew, this seemed like the most appropriate way to end their long and turbulent journey to catch a trollkrabbe.

Crabs Ahoy!
