You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the fortune you seek. But first, first you must travel a long and difficult road. A road fraught with peril, mmhmm. You shall see things wonderful to tell. You shall see a… a cow… on the roof of a… cottonhouse. Heh. And ohh so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be. But fear not the obstacles in your path. For fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow that road, even unto your salvation.
