The Trail of the Dead
1
[caws]
[honks]
This place is so spooky,
I could pee my pants.
- Uh, I hate to
break this to you,
but you're not wearing pants.
- Oh!
Why didn't anyone tell me?
- Are we certain this
unearthly trail of the dead
is the right way, Max?
Sorry, Kev.
The dagger's leading us
straight into Spookyville.
- Very well.
But I do hope we emerge soon.
These woods are
terribly unnerving.
I kind of like it.
- [both gasp]
- What? It's atmospheric.
Anything could be
lurking in the darkness,
watching us, waiting to strike!
- Ooh!
- Egad!
Not helping!
- Let's think positive,
Midknights.
I'm sure there's nothing
out there.

Good song.
- When I slay that dragon,
rescue King Conrad,
and fulfill the prophecy,
Sir Gadabout is exactly
the kind of knight
I want to be.
- Well, that was
a nice distraction
from our cursed surroundings.
- Yeah.
Let's find a place to camp.
- It's too dark to
keep walking the trail.
It'll be safer come morning.
- Took the words
right out of my mouth.
[phone ringing]
[magical crackling]
Hmph.
So this is Shady Acres.
[toilet flushes]
Hmm?
- [pants zip]
- [farts]
What a dump.
Ah, Doris. I give up.
I will never figure out
who this Fendra is
or what chicanery
she's plotting.
I'm a washed-up wizard.
- Oh, I'm yesterday's cheese!
- [bleats]
- But there is nothing
to go on.
I've got more questions
than answers.
Who is Fendra? Where is Fendra?
What is her favorite
flavor gelato? Ah!
What does she even look like?
[door crashes open]
[bleats questioningly]
- Ah, yes. She probably looks
exactly like that and--
[gasps]
Well, well, well, Mumbling.
Here you are, at last.
- Um--
[clears throat]
Fendra, I presume?
- [scoffs]
You presume?
- Run, Doris!
- [bleats]
Run! [grunts]
[cackles]
[bleats]
[bleating grunt]
- No!

Quiet, you fool.
Now, answer me this.
Where is he?
Uh, where is who?

Ah!
[zombies snarling]
- Oh! I think
we're safe up here.
[raspy moaning]
[Midknights scream]
Get back!
[sobs]
You have to help me!
Egad!
This seems impossible but
I believe this is Sir Gadabout!
Wait, him? This guy?
- This one, right here?
- It can't be!
- The lad is right.
I am Sir Gadabout.
Or at least I used to be.
[sobs]
That's Sir Gadabout?
Yeesh!
What happened to him?
[zombies growling]
You sure we're safe up here?
We should be.
Every night, they roam.
But they return to their graves
come dawn's first light.
Oh, well, that's great.
So we just have to
wait out the night
so we don't get eaten
by zombies!
- Or b-b-become one.
- Become one?
- Sir Gadabout,
I have so much to ask you.
First, what happened
that fateful day
when you rode out to slay
the dragon with King Conrad?
- Yeah, and why are you
an empty shell
of the man you used to be?
- Mm!
- Ah!
Uh
- What?
You were all thinking it.
[breathes deeply]
It's true.
My men and I set out that day
led by King Conrad.
When we arrived, there was
no dragon to be found.
It was a trap
laid by a sorceress
who lives deep within
these woods.
[magic crackles]
[cackles]
King Conrad. King Conrad!
[cackles]
You don't scare me!
We'll soon see about that.
Pull the courage
from this knight,
leave a man who cannot fight.
Seize from him his very might.
Bottle up this hero's light!
[screams]
[cackles]
- I should have slain her
to protect King Conrad.
But without my courage,
I couldn't.
And then suddenly, there was
this great flash of light.
[high-pitched ringing]
[muffled heartbeat]
[grunts]
When we awoke,
night had fallen.
The sorceress was gone.
The king was gone.
And then
they came!
[zombies snarling]
[screams]
- [chomps]
- It bit me!
One of those nasty things
bit me!
Sir Rowan!
- [bones cracking]
- [pained grunting]
[growls]
[terrified scream]
Help! Help!
[earth rumbling]
And II did nothing.
I hid in the shadows
as my men fell and
joined the army of the undead.
[dramatic music]
♪
Egad!
- Wow, that is, uh--
So sad.
It wasn't your fault.
That sorceress stole
your courage.
Um, excuse me?
If the zombies
only come at night,
why haven't you made
your escape during the day?
I'm too afraid.
And even if I could leave,
I-I can't ever show my face
in Byjovia again.
Because of me,
King Conrad is dead.
No! King Conrad's alive!
[gasps] What?
- Yep.
We're on a quest to find him.
- And this enchanted dagger
is leading the way.
- [gasps]
The king's royal blade!
How did you get this?
That's kind of a long story.
Well, we do have all night.
- This is your last chance,
you fool.
Where is Conrad?
- I really have no idea
what you're talking about.
Lies! You're up to something.
I have felt it in the air ever
since I sensed your return.
- Well, I sensed you, too,
you know.
- I know.
I sensed you sensing me.
- Well, I sensed you sensing me
sensing you--
- Enough!
- [cries out]
- If you refuse to tell me
what is on your mind,
I'll just go inside
and see for myself!
[grunting]
- This man is meek,
his mind is weak.
Show me the memories
that I seek!
- Who said that?
What? No, not this!
- Oh, pidgies, eat up.
- [bleats]
- Oh, Doris!
[grunts]
- Hello, Lenny.
Yay, more pudding!
[frustrated shout]
- Go fish!
- Oh!
- [bleating laughter]
- Ugh, no!
No, no, no!
- Your fly is down.
- Oh, this is going to be
a long night.
[zombies groaning and snarling]
Oh, what a lamentable sight.
Byjovia's most noble men
reduced to hunting for people
on whom to feast.
- I wonder what human flesh
tastes like.
[sniffs]
Mmm, probably like chicken.
- [whimpers]
- [chuckles]
- What was it like,
being a knight,
leading the King's Guard?
Was it awesome?
I bet it was awesome.
It was an honor.
Serving the people,
fighting for what's right.
The songs weren't so bad,
either.
- Oh, that reminds me,
we found this.
[gasps]
Keep it. I'm no longer fit
to wear that pin.
Look what became of my men
because of me.
A knight should not lead
his friends into danger.
- I say, that chap is getting
a bit too close for comfort.
- [growls]
- [screams]
Don't worry, I got this.
One giant wall of spikes
coming up.
Millie, what did you do?
- Agh!
Wanda, what did you do?
Max, help!
[both gasp]
- [snarling]
- Rah!
[groaning]
We have to get out of here.
It's not safe now.
Come on!
Sir Gadabout, let's go!
I can't!
- Just close your eyes
and take my hand.

a little hit-or-miss, but--

It's been basically all miss.
Until now!
No. No more magic.
There's got to be another way.
[zombies groaning]
Correction,
there isn't another way!
[both whimpering]

- We have to find
Millie and Simon.
- I can't.
The mere sight of the zombies
leaves me paralyzed with fear.
- Any idea?
- I have a novel suggestion.
- Big step.
Good.
Oh, little to the left.
OK.
Oh, careful!
[skull crunches] - [gasps] What
was that?
- [hushed] Nothing, nothing!
Just apine cone.
- A p-p-p-pine cone?
- OK, forward!
[skulls crunching]
Careful.
There's anotherpine cone.
And another. And another.
Ah! Abrupt stop. Abrupt stop!

No! Ugh, this is all my fault!
I led you all into danger.

It's berry juice.

Oh, Simon, Millie!
How did you do that?

It was an honor.

Keep it. I'm no longer fit

A knight should not lead
