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.
