SIGN The Princess's Ordeal
[00:02] Hero
Your Majesty, did something happen?
[00:05] Hero
I thought you said I didn't
need to attend this meeting.
[00:08] King
Well, I gave a quest to some rather
unique silver-ranked adventurers.
[00:12] Sword Saint
Ah, that's why...
[00:16] Sage
So you don't need us to get involved?
[00:19] King
I'm not sure if this is connected,
so I have a different job for you.
[00:24] Hero
Of course!
[00:25] Hero
You can ask us to do anything, Your Majesty!
[00:26] Minister
Come now!
[00:29] King
A fiery stone has fallen from heaven
upon the holy mount up north.
[00:33] King
Apparently, there's something
rather ominous there.
[00:36] Hero
So we check it out, and if there are bad guys,
we just need to take them down?
[00:40] Hero
All right! We've got this!
[00:42] King
Yes, we're counting on you.
[00:43] King
I've set aside money to help
with your preparations.
[00:45] King
I can't promise fifty gold
coins and a sword, but...
[00:49] Hero
Huh? Oh, that's fine. I don't even ne—
[00:51] Hero
Ow, ow, ow!
[00:53] Sword Saint
We'll be honored to take it, Your Majesty.
[00:55] Hero
Boo! What's the big deal?
If we'd be fine without that, who cares?
[01:00] Sage
It's only proper to accept things like this.
[01:03] Sage
What if we need other things?
[01:05] King
Talk to the cardinal and the captain.
[01:08] King
I told them to take good care of you.
[01:10] Sage
Thank you very much.
[01:11] Royal Guard Captain
Nah, you don't need to thank us.
[01:14] Royal Guard Captain
I could've gone with you if
I were still an adventurer...
[01:18] Royal Guard Captain
But our fearless leader
just won't let me leave.
[01:22] King
I have people around me telling
me the exact same thing.
[01:25] King
You'd put me in an awkward position if
you went off doing whatever you wanted.
[01:29] King
Right?
SIGN Oh, please.
SIGN "I know. Wouldn't it be great for our kingdom if we slayed some dragons?"
SIGN Don't start talking like that now.
[01:37] Silver-haired Maid
You probably wouldn't be able to stop him.
[01:39] Silver-haired Maid
I have no idea why, but he has the most
authority of anyone in this kingdom.
[01:43] King
That's right. I'm important.
[01:46] Silver-haired Maid
Yes, yes. Then please act
like you're important.
[01:46] Hero
Oh, yeah!
[01:49] Hero
Hey, Mister!
[01:50] Gold-ranked Adventurer
Wha—
[01:51] Hero
Once we get back, tell us more of the
story you were telling us last time!
[01:55] Gold-ranked Adventurer
L-Last time?
[01:57] Gold-ranked Adventurer
Oh, right! The one about when I fought
the giant bird monster all alone!
[02:00] Hero
Yeah, that! Come on! Please?
[02:02] King
My sister is in your hands...
[03:36] Female Merchant
It's been so long, everyone.
[03:39] Priestess
It has. I'm so glad you seem well.
[03:42] Priestess
But how did you know we were here?
[03:45] Female Merchant
Who do you think put out
the quest for my rescue?
[03:49] Priestess
Oh!
[03:51] Female Merchant
Are you all right?
[03:56] Priestess
Yes... I think I'm all right.
[04:00] High Elf Archer
But what are we going to do? Even if we
go after her now, it might be too late...
[04:04] Female Merchant
We have some horses ready for you. Fast ones.
[04:07] High Elf Archer
That won't be enough to catch up to them.
[04:09] Dwarf Shaman
Then I'll just use a spell.
[04:12] Lizardman Priest
But to think that I get to slay goblins
and delve into the deepest of dungeons...
[04:18] Lizardman Priest
I could not ask for greater fortune.
[04:21] Lizardman Priest
Sir Goblin Slayer also seems
quite excited himself.
[04:25] Goblin Slayer
Do I?
[04:27] High Elf Archer
But... are you sure about this?
[04:28] Priestess
Huh?
[04:29] High Elf Archer
I'd rather not bring it up, but...
[04:32] Priestess
"She did something awful to me,
so I don't care what happens to her."
[04:36] Priestess
I can't say I don't feel that
way even in the slightest...
[04:43] Priestess
But still, I can't just say
that I'm all right with
[04:47] Priestess
terrible things happening to her, can I?
[04:50] High Elf Archer
All right, good.
[04:52] High Elf Archer
Let's go!
[04:53] Priestess
Right!
[05:02] Sword Maiden
Please wait a moment!
[05:06] Goblin Slayer
What is it?
[05:08] Sword Maiden
Um... Thank you for everything.
[05:12] Goblin Slayer
No need to thank me.
[05:13] Goblin Slayer
This is my job.
[05:16] Goblin Slayer
I've compiled everything I was researching.
[05:18] Goblin Slayer
There are a lot of parts I don't understand.
[05:20] Sword Maiden
Right.
[05:21] Sword Maiden
These are also just the
parts that I remember...
[05:25] Sword Maiden
But this is a map of the dungeon
down to the fourth level.
[05:28] Goblin Slayer
Fourth level?
[05:29] Lizardman Priest
Oho. This is drawn quite well.
[05:32] Sword Maiden
I used to be in charge of drawing maps.
[05:35] Goblin Slayer
It's not to the lowest level?
[05:37] Sword Maiden
The fourth level is where
the heart of the dungeon,
[05:40] Sword Maiden
surrounded in magic and miasma, lies.
[05:43] Sword Maiden
And if you are going to travel
below the fourth level...
[05:47] Sword Maiden
None of you will make it back alive...
[05:53] Sword Maiden
if you don't have this.
[05:56] Priestess
Is that an amulet?
[05:58] Sword Maiden
It's nothing that impressive.
[06:01] Sword Maiden
It's just a blue ribbon.
[06:03] Sword Maiden
It will act as a key to travel
deep into the dungeon.
[06:09] Sword Maiden
I pray that you return safely.
[06:14] Goblin Slayer
Right. We plan to.
[06:24] Female Merchant
Do you ever think about
going on adventures again?
[06:29] Sword Maiden
I'm not sure.
[06:32] Sword Maiden
The only reason I was able to get back
[06:34] Sword Maiden
on my feet was because I went
on adventures with my comrades...
[06:38] Sword Maiden
But I no longer have the courage
to face anything terrifying.
[06:45] Sword Maiden
I am a weak woman.
[06:48] Female Merchant
Well, it's only natural to be
scared of terrifying things.
[06:51] Sword Maiden
Don't you think it's necessary to move on?
[06:55] Female Merchant
I mean, I guess I feel that way sometimes...
[06:59] Female Merchant
Because it takes everything
I have just to face it.
[07:04] Sword Maiden
Goblins... should all just disappear.
[07:22] Priestess
Look!
[07:23] High Elf Archer
Looks like we're on the right track.
That's great.
[07:26] Priestess
Yes.
[07:27] Priestess
But I don't see that much blood...
[07:31] Priestess
Nor a corpse.
[07:32] Priestess
It seems as though she was
immediately kidnapped.
[07:35] High Elf Archer
The merchant mentioned that they had
some cursed object or something, right?
[07:40] High Elf Archer
Does that mean she's a sacrifice?
[07:41] Dwarf Shaman
Probably.
[07:43] Dwarf Shaman
When princesses are kidnapped,
[07:45] Dwarf Shaman
they're basically either gonna end
up brides, ransoms, or sacrifices.
[07:49] Goblin Slayer
The question is if they were
targeting her from the start,
[07:51] Goblin Slayer
or if they took her by coincidence.
[07:53] Goblin Slayer
If they were plotting to take the princess
from the start, this plan is too sloppy.
[07:57] High Elf Archer
Either way, we don't need
to waste any more time here.
[08:01] High Elf Archer
Let's go!
[08:02] Priestess
Right!
[08:23] Goblin Slayer
There are footprints. Goblins and wolves.
[08:26] Goblin Slayer
No doubt about it.
[08:28] Dwarf Shaman
That's gonna make it a bit
hard to search for them.
[08:31] Goblin Slayer
It won't. They're goblins.
[08:34] Goblin Slayer
They believe, without a doubt,
that they are smart.
[08:38] Lizardman Priest
And?
[08:39] Goblin Slayer
Which means they believe the one that's
[08:41] Goblin Slayer
either at the highest place or the one
that's deepest below is the most important.
[08:45] High Elf Archer
So, what do we wanna do?
[08:47] High Elf Archer
Attack them with fire? Water?
Or are we using explosions again?
[08:50] Goblin Slayer
I haven't thought about that yet.
What do you think?
[08:53] Lizardman Priest
Well...
[08:54] Lizardman Priest
A lord of a castle would usually only
[08:57] Lizardman Priest
confine himself to a castle if he knew
reinforcements were coming or not coming.
[09:01] Priestess
U-Um...
[09:02] Lizardman Priest
Confining oneself is a strategy used when
reinforcements are definitely coming.
[09:06] Lizardman Priest
Otherwise, it's a strategy used when
there are no other options left.
[09:10] Lizardman Priest
Either way, I don't believe the goblins
are smart enough to understand that.
[09:14] High Elf Archer
Well, yeah. They're goblins.
[09:16] Lizardman Priest
But there is no guarantee that
[09:18] Lizardman Priest
reinforcements won't appear
in hordes from underground.
[09:25] Goblin Slayer
I guess we'll sneak in.
[09:29] Dwarf Shaman
Sometimes, I get jealous of your claws.
[09:39] Goblin Slayer
Let's go up.
[09:40] Lizardman Priest
We'll go around the castle walls and
drop down in the outskirts of town.
[09:44] Lizardman Priest
Then we'll head into the dungeon.
[09:46] Dwarf Shaman
Well, we don't have time to
stroll around town or rest, so...
[09:51] Priestess
We won't be able to turn back
until we're done this time.
[09:54] Priestess
So we must do anything and
everything we can, right?
[09:57] Goblin Slayer
But try to limit the use of spells...
as much as possible.
[10:05] Lizardman Priest
Which means we'll be using
our usual formation.
[10:07] Dwarf Shaman
Looks like my axe will
be coming in handy, then.
[10:11] High Elf Archer
Come to think of it...
[10:13] High Elf Archer
Is this your first time
thoroughly exploring a dungeon?
[10:17] Priestess
Yes, my first time will be
this "Dungeon of the Dead."
[10:20] Priestess
Honestly... Why are my first
times always like this?
[10:33] Goblin Slayer
How do we want to proceed?
[10:34] Lizardman Priest
I believe it would be best
to heard right toward
[10:37] Lizardman Priest
the fourth floor as soon as possible.
[10:39] Goblin Slayer
Then I'll let you lead the way.
[10:41] Lizardman Priest
But of course. First, we will head north.
[10:57] Lizardman Priest
Ah, yes. Come!
[10:59] Lizardman Priest
I shall conquer the lot of you!
[11:04] Dwarf Shaman
You know, it might be a wee bit difficult
to do all this without any spells.
[11:08] High Elf Archer
Honestly, a dagger seems much
better than arrows right now.
[11:16] Goblin Slayer
Let's go.
[11:17] Priestess
Right!
[11:18] Goblin Slayer
We're going to slay all the goblins!
[11:25] Goblin Slayer
That's ten, eleven...
[11:27] High Elf Archer
I really don't want to be shooting
arrows in such a confined space!
[11:32] High Elf Archer
I think I'm gonna run out of arrows.
[11:34] High Elf Archer
Where are we supposed to go?
[11:36] Lizardman Priest
Around the corner and
into the door at the end.
[11:38] Lizardman Priest
Once we go through the door, we head left!
[11:41] High Elf Archer
Got it!
[11:42] Priestess
Take that!
[11:43] Priestess
We should watch out behind us.
[11:45] Priestess
Goblins may come out of the burial chamber.
[11:47] Dwarf Shaman
Got it! Don't push yourself, though!
[11:54] Dwarf Shaman
Beard-cutter! There's no end to this!
[11:56] Goblin Slayer
Yeah.
[11:58] Goblin Slayer
That's fifteen. We're going left, correct?
[12:00] Lizardman Priest
Yes. Let's head toward the door!
[12:03] Goblin Slayer
Take the lead.
[12:04] High Elf Archer
You've got something up your sleeve again?
[12:06] Goblin Slayer
No water, poison, or explosions.
[12:16] Goblin Slayer
Go!
[12:17] Lizardman Priest
Understood!
[12:22] Dwarf Shaman
Well, can you jump over that?
[12:24] Priestess
I-I will!
[12:25] High Elf Archer
Let's do this. Here we go!
[12:27] Dwarf Shaman
Hup!
[12:30] High Elf Archer
Orcbolg!
[12:31] Goblin Slayer
Yeah.
[12:37] Goblin Slayer
Destroy the door and jump in!
[12:39] Dwarf Shaman
Got it!
[12:46] Goblin Slayer
Hurry up and get in,
or you'll get sucked in, too!
[13:01] High Elf Archer
What was that?
[13:02] Goblin Slayer
It was a Gate. I connected
it to a high place.
[13:04] High Elf Archer
A high place?
[13:05] Goblin Slayer
The sky.
[13:06] High Elf Archer
So you're saying that, somewhere
in the world, it's raining goblins?
[13:10] High Elf Archer
Oh, whatever. It's better than being flooded.
[13:14] Goblin Slayer
Is it?
[13:15] High Elf Archer
Anyway...
[13:17] High Elf Archer
It's really dark in here.
[13:19] High Elf Archer
You know it's dark when elf eyes
are having trouble seeing.
[13:24] Priestess
I can't seem to get a fire started.
[13:26] Lizardman Priest
This must be what's called a
domain of restraint or darkness.
[13:37] Priestess
I'm sorry I haven't been much help.
[13:40] Dwarf Shaman
Don't even worry about it.
[13:42] Dwarf Shaman
We're in real trouble if our back line
has to go around swinging weapons.
[13:46] Dwarf Shaman
Even Beard-cutter'd be concerned.
[13:49] Lizardman Priest
Indeed. A priest's job is not to
swing a weapon at the enemy.
[13:56] Priestess
Right... Does that mean restraint
is also a part of my duty?
[14:01] Goblin Slayer
Yeah. You'll definitely
have a role to play in time.
[14:04] Priestess
Right. I'll do my best when that happens.
[14:18] Lizardman Priest
An elevator...
[14:36] Sage
I think I'm losing my sanity
just looking at that thing.
[14:47] Sword Saint
Really? The fact that it bleeds
means that we can kill it,
[14:51] Sword Saint
so I think it'll all work out.
[14:53] Sage
Maybe I'll just use Fusion Blast
to end that thing in a single blow.
[14:57] Hero
If you do that and the
mountain's height changes,
[14:59] Hero
I'm the one who's gonna get yelled at!
[15:02] Hero
I'm relieved that it moves
in such a simple way, though.
[15:06] Hero
It just sorta charges at us.
Maybe this thing's dumb.
[15:09] Sword Saint
It just gets as big as it
wants and then attacks us.
[15:13] Sword Saint
Which is exactly why we need to
take care of it here and now.
[15:16] Sage
I really don't want to think about
[15:18] Sage
us losing to this thing and
getting sucked into it.
[15:21] Sage
But I believe you both
brought up good points.
[15:24] Sage
I think it's because its thought process
probably isn't fully developed...
[15:29] Sage
But I believe this thing swallows up
other things and learns from them.
[15:33] Sage
If the targets this thing took in
[15:35] Sage
just happened to be stupid and weak,
[15:38] Sage
and that's why it's not
too difficult to fight...
[15:42] Sage
From where exactly did these goblin
corpses fall upon the mountain?
[15:48] Hero
I'm sure someone just had a quest
to slay goblins and dealt with it.
[15:53] Hero
In that case, we can't lose, either.
[16:00] Hero
Not that we ever do!
[16:14] Goblin Slayer
I researched it back at the temple,
[16:16] Goblin Slayer
but I've never seen tattoos like
the ones they have before.
[16:20] Goblin Slayer
But I'm pretty sure they have
a spellcaster among them.
[16:24] Priestess
So a goblin shaman...
[16:26] Goblin Slayer
We can't be sure just yet.
[16:30] High Elf Archer
Are you all right?
[16:31] Priestess
Yes, I'm fine.
[16:33] Goblin Slayer
It must be from
[16:34] Goblin Slayer
the same group of goblins that's been
causing trouble in this area lately.
[16:37] Goblin Slayer
That must be their boss.
[16:39] Dwarf Shaman
Then we'll have to take
out the spellcaster first.
[16:43] Lizardman Priest
No, we'll have to see the number
of enemies and their equipment first.
[16:46] Lizardman Priest
We'll be sitting ducks if
we use the elevator and
[16:49] Lizardman Priest
they're just waiting to ambush us.
[16:51] Goblin Slayer
Projectile weapons?
That's going to be trouble.
[16:54] Dwarf Shaman
Hey, long-ears. Do you hear anything?
[16:58] High Elf Archer
Hmm... I think there's more than ten, maybe?
[17:02] High Elf Archer
Maybe twenty. I just hear a lot of footsteps.
[17:05] High Elf Archer
Of course, I can't tell what kind
of equipment they have...
[17:08] High Elf Archer
Also, I smell something
strange... from below.
[17:12] Goblin Slayer
Is it poisonous?
[17:13] Lizardman Priest
No. I believe that they might be
performing some kind of ritual.
[17:17] Lizardman Priest
It would only be natural for
them to light incense, then.
[17:20] Dwarf Shaman
Either way, we're probably
better off not breathing it in.
[17:26] Dwarf Shaman
Beard-cutter! What about that gas mask
you made with cloth and charcoal?
[17:30] Goblin Slayer
That was just a quick fix.
[17:32] Goblin Slayer
If we have time, we should wet
our clothes with an antidote.
[17:37] Goblin Slayer
I'd rather not use them now,
but it is an option.
[17:41] Priestess
Oh, then I can...
[17:44] Priestess
Um, I mean, I...
[17:47] Priestess
I just thought I'd use
Holy Light first, as usual...
[17:51] Priestess
Since I think that's more
likely to be effective.
[17:56] Goblin Slayer
Thanks.
[17:57] Priestess
Right!
[17:58] Lizardman Priest
Then Lady Priestess will make the first move.
[18:00] Lizardman Priest
I will probably be on the
front line, as usual.
[18:03] Lizardman Priest
What will you do, Sir Spellcaster?
[18:05] Dwarf Shaman
Let's see... I think I have about
two... no, three spells left.
[18:11] Dwarf Shaman
Beard-cutter, what would you like?
[18:13] Goblin Slayer
Some light. I'll leave the rest to you.
[18:16] High Elf Archer
I guess I'm just doing my usual.
[18:18] High Elf Archer
I'll jump around and shoot them,
and back everyone up.
[18:21] Lizardman Priest
And then we'll all just have to do our
best to be flexible and resourceful.
[18:27] Priestess
Isn't that another way of saying
we'll just leave it up to chance?
[18:30] Goblin Slayer
No. That's not something goblins can manage.
[18:38] Priestess
O merciful Earth Mother, please, by your
revered hand, cleanse us of our corruption.
[18:51] Dwarf Shaman
Show us light, burn bright, Will-o'-the-wisp!
[18:54] Dwarf Shaman
Friar's lantern of the swamp, 'tis your time!
[19:03] Priestess
How awful!
[19:11] Priestess
She's alive?
[19:20] Goblin Slayer
One staff, five swords, five clubs,
two spears, seven bows, no hobs, twenty total!
[19:26] Goblin Slayer
As we figured... is that a shaman?
[19:27] Priestess
No!
[19:28] Priestess
That's a priest!
[19:37] High Elf Archer
Take that!
[19:39] High Elf Archer
No way! Is that Protection?
[19:42] Goblin Slayer
Then we do this.
[19:48] Goblin Slayer
Take out their archers!
This'll have to be hand-to-hand combat!
[19:50] High Elf Archer
Got it!
[19:51] Lizardman Priest
O sickle wings of the velociraptor...
[19:53] Lizardman Priest
Slice, fly, and hunt!
[20:03] Lizardman Priest
Goblin arrows feel like a mere
spring shower, do they not?
[20:17] High Elf Archer
Easy-peasy.
[20:18] High Elf Archer
I'll back you up, so take
care of the rest of them!
[20:33] Goblin Slayer
Only thirteen remaining!
[20:37] Priestess
What is this anxiousness I'm feeling?
[20:41] Priestess
It doesn't sound like it's offering a prayer.
[20:45] Priestess
Yet why won't the barrier come down?
[20:49] Dwarf Shaman
Take that!
[21:00] Priestess
Goblin Slayer!
[21:02] Priestess
She's a sacrifice!
[21:04] Goblin Slayer
Are they doing a bloodletting?
[21:06] Priestess
They won't get away with this!
[21:08] Priestess
I'm going to do this!
[21:09] Goblin Slayer
We'll leave that to you.
[21:11] Lizardman Priest
Do what must be done!
[21:14] Priestess
O merciful Earth Mother...
[21:17] Priestess
Please, by your revered hand,
cleanse us of our corruption.
[21:22] Priestess
Purify!
[21:59] Goblin Slayer
That's twenty.
