So, Prospero.

How many of you are new around here? And how many of you keep getting lost? You're in luck today, because I have put my particular skills to work for your benefit. With my help, you'll never get lost in an unfamiliar world.

[This smile is less 'friendly' and more 'up to something'. She takes a rolled up piece of paper from off-camera and unrolls it to reveal...a map.]

[But oh no, this is no ordinary map. This map of Prospero is so carefully and expertly drawn as to make the best cartographers weep at how inadequate they are. It is a work of art, everything from the streets to the buildings labeled flawlessly in clear, legible handwriting.]

[It's even signed.]

So. Shall I stop pointing out how obviously you need this so we can start discussing prices?

Mm, what's that? I couldn't hear you over the deafening sound of your stupidity.

How much have you made so far scamming people?

[ He's kinda convinced that those maps are not as useful as they seem. Something has to be wrong given who made them. ]

Scamming? Oh good sir knight, you wound me with your accusations.

Well given your nature anyone would think that at first.

How do you know these maps aren't perfectly legitimate? Leave navigating to the navigators, little boy.

It is somewhat wrong of me to think something could be wrong with them, but I don't trust you one bit.

Even if you're a perfect navigator you could have easily modified these maps to lead someone to their death and they wouldn't know any better.

Maybe I did. Ooh, you caught me, I built pit traps filled with alligators all over the city and drew these maps just so people could walk right into them!

Please. They're no good to me dead.

Well I wouldn't put it past you to do something like that.

What exactly do you need them for?

You can only rob a dead man once. But you can steal from the living a hell of a lot more than that.

Either way it's still robbing someone.
