[opening theme music]

Your friend goes into the pit tomorrow.

What? That's not enough time! We still need a plan.

Fortunately for you, I have one.

It involves this door.

It's locked from the inside.

And there are two guards.

[smugly] Not tonight. At moonrise tonight, this door will be unlocked and unguarded.

Just for a few moments.

How do you know that?

My dear Lady Fahlga! I once commanded the Cardigal Guard, years ago.

I still have influence.

I-- I know.

Xava wants to know your price. You never do anything for free, Killara!

This time is different. Be here at moonrise tonight

and I'll make sure this door is open. Anything else is up to you.

What if we get caught?

Then one less Frog in the world. Win-win.

[Fahlga] We'll be there.

[to himself] Well, nice to know she's trusting.

[rhythmic pounding]

[crowds chanting]

Aaaghhh!

One of the most enjoyable Kulipari fights I've ever seen. [amused cry]

Amusing though this is, Lord Darkan, my Nightcasting reveals

that intruders seek entrance to the palace.

Shall I go prepare their welcome?

Oh yes! Please do, Daly.

Make sure they find it "memorable." Won't you?

[bellowing roar]

[crowds cheering]

[distant cheering]

Bah! Were missing the best fight!

Shouldn't have made that bet. Don't know what you were thinking.

Ah, everybody always bets on the big guy.

They were both big!

Yeah, but one was Kulipari--

At ease, my good Lizards!

-Captain Killara? -What are you doing here?

Why, providing a distraction, of course!

Distraction? Distraction for what?

For that.

Nogo, would you be so kind?

-[pained groans] -[splashing sound]

Excellent. Inside and take cover, both of you. Daly is no doubt on her way.

[thunderous boom]

[whispers] How are we gonna avoid that Spider, Captain?

[Killara] Simple, Skink...

We just provide her with...

Huh.

...another target to follow.

Looks like Killara kept his word.

Wup! It worked! Make sure this one stays open.

-[laughs] -Nice work, Captain.

Yeah! Snorebutt even opened the portcullis for us!

Maybe I won't pound him just yet.

I knew he wouldn't let me down.

Can't help himself! We can let them keep Daly occupied.

Like so...

Do not mock me, Frog!

Let me meet Daly face-to-face and we will see whose power triumphs.

Meanwhile we'll conduct our own mission, recovering the pearl.

Palace is that way. The throne room's upstairs. Stay close.

[tense music]

-[farting noise] -[startled cry]

-What was that? -That was me.

You sure?

-[fart] -[belly noise]

Oh.

-Shh! -Sorry, Captain.

[Lizard Guard] What's that? Someone down there?

-[slicing and hitting noises] -[moans of pain]

[whispers] Now. Follow me. Quietly.

[Killara] There it is. Behind those doors is our one shot

at wealth and freedom.

Real wealth. Real freedom.

And it's all mine.

When we sell it, what are you gonna buy with your cut?

Gold. Gold armor.

Saw a set that would fit me in Tralagon. You?

Not sure what I want yet, but it's gonna be expensive!

-[clicks fingers] -Got a plan, Captain?

Naturally, Skink.

I trained most of Cardigal's troops during my time here.

Just follow my lead.

Captain Killara?

[firmly] You! Guards! Stand aside. I have business with Lord Darkan!

No can do, Captain. Lord Darkan's not here.

And you shouldn't be here either, sir. Not without an appointment.

[sinister] My apologies.

It appears there has been some sort of slip-up?

Nogo? If you please.

You got it, Captain.

[gasps]

[pained groans]

[Killara] And there it is...

the Throne of Cardigal.

[terrifying roar]

[roar becomes evil laughter]

[calmly] All we have to do is get there.

[evil laughter continues]

[Nogo grunts]

What now, Captain? We don't have the gear to fight a Fire Demon!

Yeah, I left my water buckets in my other loincloth!

Those braziers are its source.

I'll distract the demon. You two get the braziers!

Aaagh!

[thundering roars]

[thundering roars]

[yelps in pain]

Hot! Agh!

[relieved sigh]

[howls in pain]

[jokey tone] Warm! Warm! A little haste appreciated!

[deafening roar]

[roar fades to silence]

Ahh! A rare bit of teamwork. Well done.

[sniffs] Ooh. Smells like you need some burn lotion, Captain.

[sniffs]

Or maybe some plum sauce.

Enough! We're almost there.

That looks like a square. The pearl is round.

He keeps his most prized piece next to his throne at all times.

The pearl has to be in there.

Then what are we waiting for?

[shrieks]

[gasps] How in the slithering suckers are we gonna get past that thing?

"We" are not.

-You are. -Wha...

Nogo?

[Skink] Wha... Oh, no, no, no! No!

[pained groans]

Warn me next time.

-[chuckles] -Faster this way!

Funnier, too!

Now get the box! But be careful, there might be more traps.

Yeah, yeah.

Seems safe.

Hurry!

Whoa... [chuckles] Now I get why he has this thing!

Mmm-hmm! Nogo, I figured it out, this is what I'm buying!

[laughs] [theatrical accent] Take him to the pit!

[shrieks]

Pearl. Now!

OK, OK!

Almost there.

I don't see any triggers.

[tense music]

[loud alarm sounds]

Agh! Blast it! I'm so close!

Skink! Run!

Aaagh!

Where are the guards?

Where are the guards? Well, the training around here has just gone to--

[yelling]

This way!

[calmly] I'll take that.

You take them!

This wasn't part of the plan!

No. But I like it!

[Lizard Guard] Don't move!

[slaying and struggling in background]

Then you move.

Aaagh!

Captain, you've got a plan for this, right? Captain?

Where'd he go?

[to himself] Darkan always loved these classics.

[thundering growl]

[panicked yells]

[triumphant music]

[voice of Marmoo] Ahh, Lady Fahlga.

[Fahlga] You have no idea how long I've...

Ah! I see that Snorebutt's companions are still keeping Daly distracted.

[dramatic music]

Ahh, Lady Fahlga.

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this moment!

For myself, it's been a lifetime.

Or two.

Time to end this once and for all!

[shrieks]

[menacing] You must be Fahlga, insolent seeker of the spider throne.

[pained groan]

Daly! Lord Darkan's little pet Nightcaster.

Fetch, girl!

Spoiled student of Jarrah! While you studied in soft luxury,

I practiced in the streets of Cardigal! Face me!

Street magic belongs in the gutter, you arcane amateur!

Nightcasting is mastered by study, not instinct!

[high-pitched screams]

[weakened] Foolish spiderling, while you struggle against my skill,

Killara is purloining the pearl!

Yes!

And I hope Killara enjoys his stone!

[gleefully] Time for me to finally reclaim my...

[horrified] rock!

[calling] Guards?

[pained roar]

Nice throw, Captain!

I knew you wouldn't abandon us.

A rock! That wrinkled reptile swapped out the pearl for a rock!

Where are we gonna look now, Captain?

Where we should have looked in the first place!

[rumbling sound]

[triumphant music]

Darkan's treasure room!

-[gleeful chuckle] -Dibs!

[laughs] I think we hit the motherload, Captain!

That pearl must be here!

Who cares about a pearl when we have claws on all this?

[Nogo] It's the principle of the thing.

[gasps in horror] You take that back!

Sorry! Don't know what came over me.

I know it's in here somewhere.

Darkan would never let it too far out of sight.

[Darkan] You're right about that, Killara.

So, what will it be, Killara?

[nervous panting and gulping]

Fight or flee?

[timidly] Flee. Definitely flee.

Well, look who it is.

We wanted to thank you for the bath, Captain.

Er... On second thought, this way!

[Killara] Called it!

Thanks for the exit, Darkan!

[click]

That's new.

[Darkan] There is no way out for you. [heaving roar]

Do you know what your problem is, Captain Killara?

[upbeat] Eh... Sharp heavy objects?

Greed!

[feeble groan]

Greed caused you to leave my service, become a mercenary.

Well, I'm going to do you a favor, Killara.

I'm going to free you from your greed.

-[mighty roar] -[Killara struggles]

I like my greed!

[dramatic music]

Yes!

So, close you can taste it, eh?

Wait! You know what they say about me, Darkan.

"He squashes real good"?

What?

[furious roar]

Killara always has a plan!

Let me go!

You really do have too many columns in this place.

The whole monolith thing is waaay overdone!

Consider redecorating. Lighten things up.

Speaking of which...

I'll crush you!

Just going to relieve you of that big heavy pearl.

[gleeful] Ah!

There we are!

The pearl!

Nice going, Captain.

[struggling furiously]

You would defy me?

In my own palace?

In my own city?

For treasure? Yeah.

It's kinda what we do. We're mercenaries.

That's right.

We're greedy!

[bellowing roar] Killaraaa!

-[crumbling sound] -Hold him!

[Skink] Trying, Captain!

[bellowing roar]

Captain! What do we do now?

[struggling] We need a plan, quick!

Uh... Plan? Right. Uh... You two hold him there

and I'll-- I'll go steal us mounts for our escape! Right!

[Darkan roars]

-Hurry! -Stop!

[bellowing roar]

Captain!

Captain!

I think we're almost at the exit!

But the iron door got locked behind us, remember?

-Don't think that'll matter. Look! -[gasps]

[Darel] It's Killara!

[grunts] Gotcha!

[Darel pleads] Killara!

Too bad for you, Snorebutt.

But plenty good for me!

[Nogo and Skink] Captain!

[to himself] So worth it!

[moaning in pain]

So, always bet on the big guy?

[grunts]
