Initiation Location: Clear Last Scenario, enter Santa's workshop
Scene 1:
Scene Location: The Celestial Caves
- Nuri and Jimon come running over to you as you wander deeper into the caves. -
Nuri: There you are! We've had the worst experience ever!
- You ask them what happened and how they escaped -
Jimon: It was awful! The Nether dragon was betrayed by his own master! He called himself Hashu, leader of the Black Robe army, as well as the Dragon Raiders.
Nuri: For such a small guy, he has such tremendous power, the likes by which I've never seen before!
- You ask if Hashu is related to the hobbits. -
Jimon: Hobbit? What's that? Some kind of mutated rabbit?
- Chumley shakes his head. -
Chumley: No... a hobbit is a halfling, the fourth race of this planet. The reason you haven't heard of them before is because they went into hiding a long time ago.
- Nuri and Jimon give Chumley a puzzled look. -
Chumley: They are part of an organization called The New World Order, a movement which will destroy all life on Earth in exchange for the survival of Earth. "Only the strong will survive; the weak shall perish!" That's their slogan.
Nuri: Man, that's awful!
Jimon: Yeah, it's like a whole new problem has surfaced!
Chumley: Yes, and to make matters worse, I think that Hashu, the one you met, is just one of many.
- Nuri and Jimon gap at Chumley in shock -
Jimon & Nuri: One of many?!
Chumley: Yes. Supposedly, there are other forces out there that follow the New World Order... not just the Black Robe. This includes dragons, monsters, humans, elves, dwarves, and many other species, some of which have yet to be discovered.
- You ask Chumley if he knows anyone particular -
Chumley: I'm sorry... that's really all I know. I'm just a traveling merchant. I only hear so many stories now and then.
- You ask Nuri how they escaped -
Nuri: Well it was like this... we were captured and cornered... then we were ambushed and seized, then we were rounded up and thrown out, and then we were thrashed and tossed about. By the time it was all over, we found ourselves here.
Jimon: Not to mention the tossing and turning, the aching and paining, the whining and crying, the sneezing and gagging...
Nuri: ...um, yeah. That too.
- You ask Nuri if they found a way out. -
Nuri: There's an exit we found just down beyond the ice bridge. If we hurry, we may be able to make it by sunrise.
- You nod and begin to proceed in the direction she suggested. -
Scene 2:
Scene Location: Santa's Workshop
- You and Nuri find yourselves facing a large factory as you exit the caves behind you. The long journey was finally coming to a conclusion... or so you hope. -
???: Intruders!
???: Burglars!
???: Kill 'em all!
- As you near the factory, you find yourself surrounded by tiny elves in green costumes. They all carry long pointed sticks... which are pointed straight at you! -
Jimon: Oh, great! Just what we needed!
- You try to reason with the elves -
Elven Guard #1: You are the trespassers who have poached our sacred land! It has been ordered that all trespassers are to be executed immediately.
You, Jimon, Nuri, and Chumley: EXECUTED?!
Elven Guard #2: Terminate the prisoners!
Elven Guard #3: Execute them immediately!
- The tiny elf guards slowly close in on your with their sticks pointed at you. -
Nuri: Well... any last words?
Jimon: Yeah... just one...
- Jimon shouts as loud as he can -
Jimon: CHARGE!!!
- Jimon charges through brigade of elven guards, knocking over anyone and anything that stands in his way. He makes his way out of the brigade of elves and heads in a random direction, with some of the guards chasing after him. -
- You and Nuri watch in awe as the scene unfolds before your very eyes. -
Nuri: Well, you heard the little guy... Charge!
- Nuri and you break through the brigade of elven guards, while Chumley follows behind you. As you make your way towards Jimon's direction, you find yourself coming up towards a long slope that leads to a cliff. Realizing that your cornered with no where else to go, you raise your hands and surrender. -
Elven Guard #4: We have you surrounded! Now you will...
- The elven guard's voice trails off as he looks up to the sky. At that moment, the elven guards begin to back off, turn, and run in the direction they just came. -
Nuri: Duck!
Jimon: Where?
Nuri: No, I mean, DUCK!!!
