[JANNER] I can’t believe it
It’s a Bomnubble.
A big one, too.
See how long
the claws are, Maraly?
Pembrick says--
Pembrick says this
and Pembrick says that.
He has some useful tips.
Useful for getting us food?
[snickbuzzard crows]
[Maraly gasps]
[MARALY] Janner!
Get down!
[snickbuzzard screeches]
[JANNER] Whoa.
Is that a snickbuzzard?
Did you know they have--
Bellybuttons?
Yeah, keeps me up at night.
Shh.
[snickbuzzard screeches]
[JANNER] And you want to--?
Let’s get some dinner.
But they’re dangerous.
Everything’s dangerous!
But don’t worry,
there’s just the one.
Follow me.
[scared groans from Janner]
[JANNER] I don’t think
this is a good idea!
You think too much!
[snickbuzzard screeches]
[JANNER] Shouldn’t we come
up with a plan or something?
[MARALY] Sure: I plan
to get us some dinner!
[snickbuzzard screeches]
[both gasping]
[Janner grunts]
[scared groan]
How’s that for a plan?
[relieved sigh from Janner]
Here.
Belly’s the best part.
[painful groans]
You’re right
that’s good!
Way better than
the Fork Factory.
All we got was slimy soup.
Soup?
At a Fork Factory?
That’s just mean.
Heh.
Yeah, Sara thought so too.
[MARALY] Sara?
She was a good friend.
From Glipwood.
What was she doing
in Dugtown?
The Black Carriage
took her there.
When the carriage
came for Strander kids,
I never heard of it
going to no factory.
Just Lamendron and out to sea.
Then my brother is probably on
one of those Fang ships now.
I’m sorry about Kalmar.
It’s not your fault, you know.
He chose to go to the Stranders.
But I’m the throne warden.
It’s my one job in the world
to protect him.
[wolves howling
in the distance]
[both gasp]
[wolves howling
continue in the distance]
[hooves thunder
over cobblestone]
[angry groan]
Come.
[angry groan]
My Lady, I thought
you were busy
in the Phoob Islands.
Not so busy that I
can’t deal with your failure.
And it is failure, Khrak.
Gnag gave you a simple task:
find the Jewels of Anniera.
[GENERAL KHRAK]
Not so easy, I assure you.
[AMRAH] But it would be easier
if you had captured
the Igiby family, yes?
[angry groan]
And yet you’ve allowed
them to slip through your claws
not once, but twice.
But I did find
something useful!
Thanks to me, you now possess
a weapon of considerable power.
The birdman--
[AMRAH] And that is the only
reason you’re still here.
But your failure has a cost.
From now on,
you will have some needed
assistance.
[TIMBER] So
this is the legendary
General Khrak.
Or should I say
former General Khrak.
[Timber gives
a sinister laugh]
[hisses]
Timber is acting General
in Skree.
You will support him
without question
as he performs the task
that you could not:
finding the Igiby family.
[Timber gives
a sinister laugh]
I think we can assume
they fled to the Ice Prairies.
You’ll need to pack
a warm coat, lizard.
[low groan]
[Timber gives
a sinister laugh]
Oh, what I wouldn’t give
for a bowl of garp chowder.
The Kimerans are famous for it.
Buttery, brothy, and well
[groans]
garpy.
Better than
flabbit stew and beans?
Indibnibly!
You’ll see when you
have a bowl yourself.
How much further
to Kimera, Papa?
Shouldn’t be far.
We’re tilted in the
right direction more or less.
Uh, you said
you’ve been there.
I have.
Dozens of times.
Just, not exactly from the top.
[LEELI] From the top?
The Kimerans
make their living
from the bounties
of the Dark Sea,
sailing it
through a long channel,
deep beneath the ice.
And that’s how
you traveled there?
Aye.
Always from the water.
But from land, well
Grandpa, are we lost?
‘Course not, lass.
A good sailor always
knows exactly where he is.
Just need the sun to see.
We’ll find it.
What about Janner
and Kal?
If it takes us this long
to find the city,
how will they, hmm?
Oh, they’re capable lads.
Either they’ll find their way,
or they’ll find help.
And once we get to safety
we can come up with a plan
to find them if we have to.
[LEELI] Don’t worry, Momma.
My brothers
are brave and strong.
They’ll find their way to us.
I know it.
Onward, then.
To warm hearths
and warmer chowder!
[blustery winds blowing]
[grunts]
- [cell door clangs shut]
- [Grey Fang with sinister laugh]
[growl]
What was that thing?
[CORVEY] You never
seen a Grey Fang?
There’s grey fangs?
Yep.
And they’re stronger
and smarter
than those dumb ol’ lizards.
They can survive
in the cold too.
Could they get
to the Ice Prairies?
I’ve gotta get out of here.
I’ve been here for weeks,
and trust me,
there’s only one way
out of here.
What happens in there?
[sigh] All I know is,
kids like us go in there
and they never come back.
[KALMAR] Ships and sharks.
There’s always a way out.
What about the other tunnels?
Tunnels?
I saw a few on the way in.
I bet one of them leads
outside the walls.
Maybe, but you’re currently
stuck in a locked cell.
- [bang]
- [Kalmar gasps]
Quiet down in there!
[keys jangling]
We can just steal the keys.
Ha!
Good luck.
No one’s quick enough.
We’ll see about that.
[Pete whimpering]
- [keys jangling]
- [door creeks open]
[groans]
[OVERSEER] Hmm.
So.
Learned your lesson, Tool?
Yes, sir.
And what lesson is that?
No more aiding other tools
in their escape.
No, no, no.
Remember, that regrettable
event was not an "escape’".
It was closer to a
A desertion,
is what it was.
Ah, yes.
A desertion.
A fluke, too.
We let him escape.
That’s right.
We never liked
that Flavogle boy.
He only “thinks”
he escaped.
It was all part of our plan.
Yes!
Our plan.
Ouch!
You fool!
Flavogle didn’t even make
it out of Dugtown, you know.
The Fangs snatched him up
and sent him off
to the Phoob Islands.
Which was our plan.
[MOBRIK] Yes.
Flavogle has been Phoobed.
Mmmhmm.
Now, back to work.
[shuffling silence of mealtime]
[machine sputters]
Is there not anymore?
Just bad timing.
Move along, Tool.
[eating bell rings]
[grateful gasp]
Thank you, Scrap Hauler.
My name is Borley.
Thank you, Borley.
We’re with you.
All of us.
It’s just so cold
You know what ain’t ever cold?
One of them Bomnubbles.
Ol’ Nurgie says
they’re as furry as her toes.
And that’s real furry.
You’re good with your dagger,
but that won’t kill a Bomnubble.
[howls something
approaching them fast]
[MARALY] Let’s go!
[howls continue]
[JANNER]
Something spooked them.
I bet it’s that Bomnubble.
So let’s trap it.
What?
Not even rangers could
take down a Bomnubble.
They’re the top
of the food chain up here.
[gasp]
[MARALY] What’s the matter?
Did you see one?
[JANNER] They’re the top
of the food chain up here.
That means, they
eat everything else.
So?
So, almost everything else
up here has fur.
A Bomnubble’s cave
would be full of it!
So we ain’t gotta find
a Bomnubble,
just its hidey-hole?
[creature hisses]
Dag-flabbit!
Get off of me!
[gasps]
[JANNER] Hmm?
Ugh.
[gasps]
[Toothy Cow moos]
[creature screeches]
[creature screeches]
[Janner gags on the foul air]
[birds squeak]
[Squeeblin squeals]
Ugh, it looks empty.
[groans]
It smells terrible too.
[MARALY] Exactly,
let’s keep moving.
[JANNER] [hushed]
I don’t know.
Bomnubble’s are known
for their stink.
[JANNER] Ugh.
I thought it smelled bad
on the outside!
Do you think
there’s one in here?
If there is, it’ll smell us
before it sees us.
Ooh!
Look! Maraly!
A Gunkee!
You can tell from the smile.
What?
If it don’t have fur,
we don’t need it.
[JANNER] Hey!
Back here!
They’re even clean
mostly.
Do you feel like the smell
is getting stronger?
[sniff] [gaging groan]
[gasp]
Quick!
Over here!
How many pelts did you get?
I only got one.
Right.
I’m going to go grab some more.
No!
He’ll smell you!
[Bomnubble sniffing]
[worried gasp]
[worried gasp]
[Thud]
[sniffing]
[growl]
[groans and coughs]
[low growl]
- [crash]
- [groan]
[scream]
[growl]
[scream]
[panting]
[grunts]
[both gasp]
[grunts]
[sniffing]
[low growl]
[both panting]
We made it!
[CHOBBY] Get yer gruel.
[RODUNK] Gooey gruel
for the kiddies.
What is it?
Mealtime.
Finally.
I’m not hungry.
[low growl]
[RODUNK] Leave the bowl.
[angry growl]
Heh, heh, heh.
Maybe your little lizard brain
didn’t get the message.
I said, leave the bowl.
You slimy,
dribbling newt!
[snarl]
I said EAT it.
[whimper]
[growl]
[sniff] [groans]
I didn’t know lizard fangs
needed protection.
[irritated groan]
Keep moving, lizard!
You’re right, Corvey.
The wolf is definitely
smarter and stronger.
[evil laugh]
Lizard fangs don’t need
an oversized-puppy
for nothing.
You stinking little piggies
are easy to squeeze.
[RODUNK] Enough!
Put it down.
You damage one o’ her kiddies
and she’ll scrape your
scaly hide clean.
[grunts]
The Strander kid
has some fight.
She can use that.
We’re starving in here
and now you’ve got
nothing to eat!
Are you crazy?
Crazy?
Huh.
Maybe.
But I’m also sneaky.
[door creaks]
Be quiet.
Step where I step.
Don’t touch anything.
[both gasp]
[CHOBBY] They think they
can push us around.
Hah. Soft.
Puppies.
Puppies can’t push us around.
[both gasp]
[CHOBBY]
Gnag likes us the best.
Greys are just pets.
[both groaning]
[CORVEY] What is THAT!?
[KALMAR] I don’t know.
I don’t think I want to.
Come on!
[hissing]
[RODUNK] What’s this?
[sniffs]
[snarls]
[Rodunk howls]
[KALMAR] Let’s go!
[grunts]
[CHOBBY] GET THEM!
[gasps]
[groans]
[both panting]
[both panting]
[low growl]
[sigh]
We’re done for.
[fang sniffing]
[CORVEY] Hurry up!
[fang sniffing]
[low growl]
[KALMAR] Let’s go!
Look!
Told you we could do this!
[both gasp]
[scared groans]
What do we have here?
[AMRAH] Boys
There is only one way
to escape this place.
And it lies in there.
How’s that?
Warm.
[gasp] Look!
[birds cooing]
[JANNER] Maker help us.
Is that really where
we’re going next?
You see any other mountains
look like a witch’s nose?
No.
[MARALY] Well, then I reckon
that’s Mog Balgrik.
[JANNER] And going over it
is the only way to Kimera?
[MARALY]‘Less you
wanna take a half year
to hike all the way around
the Stony Mountains.
But I ain’t doin’ that.
[Janner sighs, resolved]
I think I’ll sleep better
once we’re on the other side.
Hey, it can’t be any worse
then a Bomnubble, right?
We outfoxed
one of those just fine.
[grunts]
As the infamously-bad land
surveyor Piney Chodd once said:
this looks familiar.
That rise does look familiar.
It bears a striking resemblance
to a bump we passed hours ago.
[PODO] Nonsense.
Plus, this time of year,
Kimera’d be due south
of Tirium, and that’s Tirium.
[NIA] You’re certain, Papa?
[PODO] Of course I am.
We're close, I promise
We gotta keep moving,
we’ll find it soon enough.
Did anyone see that?
See what?
There’s lights in the snow!
Hmm.
I saw one, I know it.
It was glowing under the snow.
[Oskar gasp]
Great Squishy Squeeblins!
See?!
They’re gone.
Where did it go?
[BROGMAN] Who are you?
I am Nia Wingfeather.
This is my father, Podo Helmer,
my daughter Leeli,
and our friend Oskar Reteep.
We seek shelter.
[BROGMAN] Come with us.
