Scene 3
Herald One
And so our good knights traveled throughout the land, undoing Merlin’s foul deeds.
Herald Two
Merlin tried to turn Grenadman into a Dog and the spell bounced off of a mirror and right back at him, but it didn't last long.
Herald One

And so a council of the knights was called, to decide how best to solve the problem
Herald One
