The Adventure of Oswald and Excalibro- New shortened verion

Our clumsy hero Oswald the Knight and his ever-angry talking sword Excalibro travel down a dirt road in this as yet unnamed ancient world. They make their way to a small town, all the while arguing in order to establish the idea that the two exist in a tense relationship. Upon reaching the town, there arguments are interrupted by the town leader, who approaches in a panic while the two pass through.
"You two are traveling heroes aren't you?"
The two stop their arguing to answers in the affirmative. Oswald is visibly nervous. The town leader explains that an ogre has been stealing townsfolk, and that they are honor bound as adventuring heroes to help. Oswald does not want to participate, but the sword does. The sword persuades him aggressively and the two leave the town, into the forest where they reach the ogre's lair. The fight begins with a hitch, as Excalibro is knocked from Oswald's hands. Oswald cowers while the sword berates him, but after some time the two realize the only way to get out of the situation. With coaching from Excalibro, Oswald retrieves him and the two work together to take down the ogre in an epic show of skill and wit. Triumphant, the two return to the town, talking excitedly about their adventure. Upon arrival they are paid by the town leader who is grateful, and the two leave to carry on their adventure, clearly having worked past their differences, at least for the time being.
