Adventure Time – A Critical Hit To Our Friendship - Shaun Richens.


PAGE ONE – 6 PANELS

1.1
Inside an ice cavern. FINN is dressed up as a knight. He is opening a large and impressive looking treasure chest.  

FINN:
Man I hope this is something radical.

SFX (Around the lid of the opening chest)
DUN DA DA DA DAAAAA

1.2
Shoot from inside the chest looking up at Finn who looks scared.

FINN:
Oh glob. It’s got teeth.

1.3
Wide panel. Finn has turned his back on the chest and stands with his hands on his hips facing JAKE, who is wearing a fake beard on and has an axe on his back, MARCELINE, who is wearing a long cloak and carries a bag over her shoulder that reads SWAG and PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM, who holds a tall and beautiful pink magic staff. The princess is also blowing on a pink pipe that blows bubbles.

The chest has grown a set of large arms and legs and now shows its huge fangs that line its lid.

ICE KING: (Off Panel)
Too bad Finn you fool you didn’t see my nifty trap.

FINN:
This is bogus. Master thief Marceline totally checked for traps. What gives?

1.4
Finn, Jake, Marceline and Princess Bubblegum, all now dressed in their normal outfits (bar Jake who still wears his fake beard), sit around the table in Finn and Jake’s tree house. At the head of the table, sat behind a dungeon masters screen is THE ICE KING.

Snacks, drinks and loads of oddly shaped die lie scattered on the tabletop.

ICE KING:
Um… Marceline can’t detect magic traps yet.

BUBBLEGUM:
You wouldn’t just trick us to win would you?

JAKE:
Yea, ‘cus I would not be happy about that kind of arrangement.

1.5
Close up on The Ice king, his eyes have gone huge and sad, he looks adorable.

ICE KING:
I would never try and trick you guys.

1.6
Another close up on the Ice king. This time he is looking sideways over his shoulder, a big grin on his faces as he winks at us, the reader.

FINN: (Off panel)
Who you winking at?
