[00:01] Nar
    Long, long ago, when there were
    fewer stars shining in the sky...
[00:08] Nar
    The gods got tired of playing with dice,
[00:11] Nar
    so they created all sorts of beings
    as well as worlds for them to live in.
[00:18] Nar
    Humans and elves...
[00:20] Nar
    Dwarves and lizardmen...
[00:22] Nar
    They went on adventures
    where they sometimes won,
[00:26] Nar
    but sometimes lost and died...
[00:31] Priestess
    Amazing.
[00:32] Lizardman priest
    Splendid. Is this some form of magic?
[00:36] High elf archer
    It's hard to tell the difference
    between mastered technique and magic.
[00:41] Dwarf Shaman
    You're really saying that in front of me?
[00:43] Goblin slayer
    One... two...
[00:50] High elf archer
    H-Hey, what are you doing?
[00:53] Goblin slayer
    They're highly sensitive to smells.
[00:55] High elf archer
    Huh?
[00:55] Goblin slayer
    Especially the smells of
    women, children, and elves.
[01:00] High elf archer
    N-No way! Somebody stop him!
[01:04] Priestess
    You get used to it.
SIGN    The Strong
[02:51] Lizardman priest
    I wonder... Is this a shrine?
[02:55] Priestess
    Apparently there was a war
    here during the age of gods.
[03:00] Priestess
    It might be a fortress or something from then.
[03:02] Priestess
    Regardless, it appears to be man-made...
[03:05] Lizardman priest
    After the soldiers left,
    the goblins called it home.
[03:09] Lizardman priest
    What a cruel fate.
[03:11] Dwarf shaman
    Speaking of cruel...
[03:14] High elf archer
    This is so gross!
[03:16] Priestess
    Um... It does wash off... somewhat.
[03:21] High elf archer
    You'd better remember this when we get back!
[03:24] Goblin slayer
    I will.
[03:28] Dwarf shaman
    I'm used to being underground,
[03:30] Dwarf shaman
    but somehow being down here just feels wrong.
[03:33] High elf archer
    Looks like it's a spiral.
[03:35] Priestess
    Perhaps it's like a tower.
[03:38] High elf archer
    Wait.
[03:39] Goblin slayer
    What's wrong?
[03:42] Goblin slayer
    An alarm?
[03:43] High elf archer
    I think so.
[03:44] High elf archer
    I spotted it because it's brand new, but...
[03:48] Dwarf shaman
    Those conniving little goblins...
[03:52] Goblin slayer
    This is strange.
[03:54] Priestess
    What is it?
[03:55] Goblin slayer
    I don't see any totems.
[03:58] Priestess
    Um, that means there
    aren't any goblin shamans.
[04:02] High elf archer
    Hey, it'll be easier for us if
    there aren't any spellcasters.
[04:05] Lizardman priest
    Actually, it seems the absence of shamans
    is precisely what concerns him.
[04:10] Goblin slayer
    Correct. Ordinary goblins wouldn't
    be able to set traps like this.
[04:15] Dwarf shaman
    You're saying they have someone leading them?
[04:17] Goblin slayer
    We should assume as much.
[04:19] Lizardman priest
    I've heard that you've destroyed large
    nests in the past, Sir Goblin Slayer.
[04:24] Lizardman priest
    How did you do so?
[04:26] Goblin slayer
    Smoke them out,
    then crush them individually...
[04:29] Goblin slayer
    Set them on fire,
    drown them in the river...
[04:32] Goblin slayer
    There are many methods,
[04:33] Goblin slayer
    but those won't work here.
[04:35] Goblin slayer
    Can you see their tracks?
[04:37] High elf archer
    Maybe if we were in a cave,
    but on a stone floor like this...
[04:40] Dwarf shaman
    Let's see...
[04:44] Dwarf shaman
    Their hideout is to the left.
[04:46] Priestess
    How can you tell?
[04:48] Dwarf shaman
    The wear on the floor.
[04:50] Dwarf shaman
    They either come from the left
    and go right, then go back,
[04:53] Dwarf shaman
    or they come from the left and go outside.
[04:58] Lizardman priest
    What is it, Sir Goblin Slayer?
[05:00] Goblin slayer
    Let's go this way.
[05:02] High elf archer
    But aren't the goblins on the left?
[05:05] Goblin slayer
    Yes... But it'll be too late.
[05:16] High elf archer
    What an awful smell...
[05:18] Goblin slayer
    Breathe through your nose.
[05:19] Goblin slayer
    You'll get used to it.
[05:27] High elf archer
    What is this place?
[05:29] Goblin slayer
    The goblins' waste heap.
[05:31] High elf archer
    Waste?!
[05:45] Dwarf shaman
    What in the world?
[05:47] Lizardman priest
    Sir Goblin Slayer...
[05:48] Elf
    ...ill... Kill...
[05:51] Priestess
    She's still alive!
[05:53] High elf archer
    Use a miracle! Hurry!
[05:54] Priestess
    Right!
[05:57] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer!
[05:59] Elf
    Kill...
[06:01] Goblin Slayer
    I understand.
[06:07] Priestess
    W-Wait! She's still—
[06:09] High elf archer
    Stop!
[06:10] Elf
    Kill... this thing!
[06:22] Goblin slayer
    Three.
[06:23] Goblin slayer
    I don't know what you're all thinking,
[06:27] Goblin slayer
    but I only came here to slay goblins.
[06:30] Elf
    Kill... all of them.
[06:35] Goblin slayer
    Of course.
[06:41] Lizardman priest
    O horns and claws of the father, Iguanodon,
[06:44] Lizardman priest
    be four limbs and walk upon
    this earth with two legs...
[06:50] Lizardman priest
    A miracle from my ancestors...
[06:52] Lizardman priest
    A dragontooth warrior.
[06:54] Priestess
    I wrote a letter and explained everything.
[07:00] Lizardman priest
    I'm counting on you.
[07:02] Lizardman priest
    My dragontooth warrior should be able to
    deliver her to the Elves' Forest safely.
[07:06] High elf archer
    What the hell is going on?!
[07:08] High elf archer
    I don't understand...
[07:15] Goblin slayer
    It's here, as I thought.
[07:17] Priestess
    What is that?
[07:19] Goblin slayer
    A map of the ruins. I found it in a rucksack.
[07:22] Goblin slayer
    That elf must've been using it.
[07:25] Goblin slayer
    There's a gallery on the left.
    Seems the left was the correct path.
[07:29] Dwarf shaman
    You didn't believe me?
[07:31] Goblin slayer
    I did, but the more information
    we have, the better.
[07:37] Goblin slayer
    You take it.
[07:40] Goblin slayer
    Let's go.
[07:41] Priestess
    Hey! You don't have to say it like that!
[07:43] High elf archer
    It's fine.
[07:46] High elf archer
    We have to get going, don't we?
[07:48] Goblin slayer
    Yes.
[07:50] Goblin slayer
    The goblins must be slain.
[08:19] Goblin slayer
    How many spells do we have left?
[08:21] Priestess
    I just used Heal, so that leaves two.
[08:25] Lizardman priest
    I have about three,
[08:28] Lizardman priest
    but the dragontooth warrior
    requires these catalysts.
[08:30] Lizardman priest
    I can only use this spell once more.
[08:34] Dwarf shaman
    As for myself... I'd say about four or five.
[08:37] Goblin slayer
    I see.
[08:39] Priestess
    Would you like some?
[08:41] High elf archer
    Thanks.
[08:44] Goblin slayer
    Don't overfill your stomach.
[08:46] Goblin slayer
    It'll slow your blood flow,
    dulling your movements.
[08:49] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer! Can't you be more—
[08:52] Goblin slayer
    There's no need to act tough.
[08:53] Goblin slayer
    If you can come, come.
    If you can't, head back.
[08:56] Goblin slayer
    It's as simple as that.
[08:58] High elf archer
    Don't be ridiculous.
[09:00] High elf archer
    I'm a ranger.
[09:02] High elf archer
    Who's going to find all the traps
    and do the scouting if I go back?
[09:06] Goblin slayer
    We'll just make do with those we do have.
[09:08] High elf archer
    Ugh, you're so... There's no way I can go back!
[09:12] High elf archer
    After what they did to that elf...
[09:14] High elf archer
    And my home isn't far from here, either...
[09:17] Goblin slayer
    I see.
[09:20] Goblin slayer
    Then let's go.
[09:22] Dwarf shaman
    Calm down, long-ears.
[09:25] Dwarf shaman
    We shouldn't cause a
    commotion on enemy ground.
[09:28] Dwarf shaman
    Dwarves consider goblins
    mortal enemies, as well.
[09:32] Dwarf shaman
    We'll make them pay for what they did to her.
[09:41] High elf archer
    I hate taking advice from
    dwarves, but you're right.
[09:46] High elf archer
    I'm sorry.
[09:49] Dwarf shaman
    Looks like you're back on your feet.
[10:11] Goblin slayer
    Well?
[10:14] High elf archer
    It's just as it looks.
[10:16] High elf archer
    There are quite few.
[10:17] Goblin slayer
    Not a problem.
[10:18] High elf archer
    What?
[10:19] Lizardman priest
    Sir Goblin Slayer, do you have a plan?
[10:22] Goblin slayer
    I do.
[10:36] Dwarf shaman
    Drink and sing, spirits!
[10:39] Dwarf shaman
    Sing, dance, and sleep like a log!
[10:42] Dwarf shaman
    Show me dreams of fire wine!
[10:55] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[10:57] Priestess
    grant us the peace to accept all things.
[11:05] Goblin Slayer
    Stupor and Silence...
[11:08] Goblin slayer
    By combining those two spells,
[11:09] Goblin slayer
    they'll all fall asleep without making
    a sound or causing a commotion.
[11:15] Goblin slayer
    And then the three of us
    will slay them, one by one.
[11:43] High elf archer
    They're slick with blood...
[11:54] High elf archer
    I see... He's using their weapons...
[12:09] High elf archer
    He... had been doing this all by himself?
[12:52] High elf archer
    An ogre!
[12:53] Ogre
    I thought those goblins were awfully quiet.
[12:56] Ogre
    They don't even make good foot soldiers.
[13:00] Ogre
    You people aren't like that elf from before.
[13:03] Ogre
    You dare set foot in our fortress?
[13:07] Goblin slayer
    Oh... So you're not a goblin?
[13:10] High elf archer
    That's an ogre! An ogre!
    Haven't you heard of them before?
[13:13] Goblin slayer
    Nope.
[13:14] Ogre
    You!
[13:16] Ogre
    Are you mocking me, the one granted this
    army by one of the Demon Lord's generals?
[13:22] Goblin slayer
    I knew there were more powerful beings,
[13:24] Gobln slayer
    but I've never heard of you
    or these Demon Lord generals.
[13:32] Ogre
    Then I'll just have to show
    you my power firsthand.
[13:38] Ogre
    Carbunculus... Crescunt!
[13:42] Dwarf shaman
    A fireball's coming!
[13:45] High elf archer
    Scatter!
[13:45] Dwarf shaman
    Look at the size of that thing!
    Where can we go?!
[13:49] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[13:51] Priestess
    please protect us, the weak,
    with the powers of the earth.
[13:58] Ogre
    Iacta!
[13:59] Priestess
    Protection!
[14:10] Priestess
    O... merciful Earth Mother,
[14:14] Priestess
    please protect us, the weak,
    with the powers of the earth.
[14:19] Priestess
    Protection!
[14:34] Goblin slayer
    You saved us.
[14:37] High elf archer
    Leave the rest to us!
[14:38] Ogre
    Foolish little girl.
[14:40] Ogre
    Don't think you'll have it
    as easy as that elf did!
[14:44] Goblin slayer
    Create a dragontooth warrior.
    There aren't enough of us.
[14:47] Lizardman priest
    As you wish, Sir Goblin Slayer.
[14:51] Lizardman priest
    O horns and claws of Father Iguanodon,
[14:54] Lizardman priest
    be four limbs and walk upon
    this earth with two legs...
[15:00] Lizardman priest
    O sickle wings of the velociraptor...
[15:05] Lizardman priest
    Slice, fly, and hunt!
[15:08] Lizardman priest
    I request backup!
[15:10] Dwarf shaman
    You got it!
[15:12] Dwarf shaman
    Time to work, you gnomes!
[15:14] Dwarf shaman
    Roll grains of sand together,
    and it shall become rock!
[15:18] Ogre
    You measly little dwarf!
[15:22] High elf archer
    You damn dwarves are too slow!
[15:25] Dwarf shaman
    We have our own way of fighting!
[15:28] Dwarf shaman
    Stone Blast!
[15:34] Ogre
    Did you really think you could defeat
    me with that stone magic trick of yours?
[15:39] Lizardman priest
    Now, Sir Goblin Slayer!
[15:46] Ogre
    Impudent fool!
[15:53] High elf archer
    Orcbolg!
[15:54] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer!
[15:56] Ogre
    Don't mistake me for a mere goblin!
[16:01] Ogre
    You shall pay dearly for this humiliation.
[16:08] Ogre
    First, I will shatter your limbs,
[16:10] Ogre
    and make sport of these
    females in front of you.
[16:13] Lizardman priest
    You shall not have your way, ogre!
[16:18] Lizardman priest
    I'm counting on you, Lady Priestess!
[16:20] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer! Goblin Slayer!
[16:23] Ogre
    Out of my way, you swamp lizard!
[16:27] Lizardman priest
    Sir Mage! Lady Ranger!
[16:29] High elf archer
    Hurry up with that spell, dwarf!
[16:30] Dwarf shaman
    I know, I know!
[16:33] Ogre
    You insolent little insect!
    Stop your incessant buzzing!
[16:39] High elf archer
    This is nothing!
[16:41] Dwarf shaman
    Stone Blast!
[16:46] Ogre
    You puny insects!
[16:53] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer!
[16:56] Goblin slayer
    I can't... see well.
[16:58] Goblin slayer
    What's... happening?
[17:00] Priestess
    Everyone's still fighting.
[17:03] Goblin slayer
    I see.
[17:04] Goblin slayer
    I need a healing potion and a stamina potion.
[17:07] Priestess
    Right!
[17:08] Goblin slayer
    Thanks.
[17:14] Priestess
    Here you go.
[17:27] Goblin slayer
    Let's do this.
[17:28] Goblin slayer
    Where's my bag?
[17:30] Priestess
    It's right here...
[17:32] Goblin slayer
    Thanks.
[17:34] Goblin slayer
    All right.
[17:34] Priestess
    Don't be reckless!
[17:35] Goblin slayer
    I'll be reckless if it means I'll win...
[17:38] Goblin slayer
    But if that always worked,
    this wouldn't be so difficult.
[17:43] High elf archer
    Orcbolg!
[17:44] Goblin slayer
    I have a plan.
[17:47] High elf archer
    All right... Go for it!
[17:49] Dwarf shaman
    All right, Beard-cutter.
    I'm putting my faith in you.
[17:53] Lizardman priest
    Things are indeed getting a bit difficult.
[17:56] Ogre
    I see that the human girl has
    used up all her miracles.
[18:01] Ogre
    Carbunculus... Crescunt...
[18:09] Ogre
    Fear not.
[18:10] Ogre
    If she manages to survive, I'll let her live.
[18:15] Ogre
    I'll use her as either food or a plaything.
[18:18] Ogre
    I need more goblins now, after all.
[18:30] Ogre
    Iacta!
[18:32] Goblin slayer
    You fool.
[19:04] Ogre
    What... What did you do?
[19:09] Goblin slayer
    This is a gate scroll. I linked
    it to the bottom of the sea.
[19:13] High elf archer
    The bottom of the sea?
[19:14] High elf archer
    Then that was seawater?
[19:17] Lizardman priest
    The water under the most
    pressure at the sea floor
[19:20] Lizardman priest
    must've been swiftly unleashed, like a blade.
[19:23] Lizardman priest
    But to think it was a scroll
    used for transfers...
[19:27] Dwarf shaman
    It allows you to escape from
    anywhere in an instant.
[19:30] Dwarf shaman
    It serves as a lifeline for adventurers.
[19:32] Dwarf shaman
    And yet he used it as a
    last resort in battle...
[19:38] (Flashback) Witch
    You see...
[19:40] (Flashback) Witch
    he also asked a strange favor of
    me once... that friend of yours.
[19:48] Goblin slayer
    I was going to use that
    scroll to destroy a nest,
[19:51] Goblin slayer
    but this is fine.
[19:54] Goblin slayer
    Now, then... What were you called again?
[19:58] Goblin slayer
    I guess it doesn't matter now.
[19:59] Ogre
    Goblins?!
[20:01] Ogre
    You would use this to kill mere goblins?
[20:05] Goblin slayer
    Goblins...
[20:07] Goblin slayer
    are far more troublesome than you.
[20:18] Male elf
    Thank you.
[20:19] Male elf
    We received your letter and
    arrived as soon as we could.
[20:22] Male elf
    How many more goblins are insi—
[20:30] Male elf
    Well, anyway, we're going to go scout inside.
[20:34] Male elf
    Please rest until you get to the town.
[20:41] High elf archer
    Hey.
[20:43] Priestess
    What is it?
[20:45] High elf archer
    Does he always do stuff like that?
[20:48] Priestess
    Yes.
[20:50] Priestess
    He's always like that.
[20:53] High elf archer
    I see.
[20:54] Priestess
    But despite how it seems,
    he's quite aware of his surroundings.
[21:00] Priestess
    He isn't obligated to
    teach me so many things.
[21:06] High elf archer
    I see.
[21:09] High elf archer
    Guess we should sleep.
[21:11] Priestess
    Yes.
[21:22] High elf archer
    Yeah, I still don't like Orcbolg.
[21:28] High elf archer
    I mean, adventures are supposed to be fun.
[21:31] High elf archer
    The joy of experiencing the unknown
    and discovering new things...
[21:36] High elf archer
    Feeling elated or accomplished...
[21:38] High elf archer
    That's what my adventures are like.
    This is no adventure.
[21:45] High elf archer
    Someday, I'll take you
[21:47] High elf archer
    on an actual adventure.
[23:32] Cow girl
    Welcome home.
