Chapter 33 - Backdoor
-
-
Esmy: Why does everything have to be heights with you?
-
Aelyn: Two words. Strategic Advantage
-
Esmy: Ya, well you didn’t have to haul this thing up a mountain on you back.
-
Aelyn: Trust me, when you see the way I came up with to get in, you’ll be glad you came.
-
Esmy: If it’s a plan you came up with Aelyn, I’m not so sure.
-
Aelyn: See that cove down there, we’ll shoot an arrow down there into the rocks, then slide down the wire. We then drop down on a pair of unsuspecting goblins guarding the back door, and we’re in.
-
Esmy: Aelyn you’re crazy. You know that, right?
-
Aelyn: I know
-
-
-
-
-
Aelyn: Having second thoughts?
-
Esmy: I mean, what’s the worst could happen? We fall to our deaths or drown in the sea.
-
Aelyn: That’s the spirit.
-
Esmy: You sure this is going to hold?
Aelyn: Like you said, what’s the worst that could happen?
-
Aelyn: WhooHoo!!
-
Esmy: Please don’t die, please don’t die.
-
-
-
Esmy: AHHHHHHHHHH!
-
-
Scene: When they get near the bottom, Aelyn drops onto a ledge. But Esmy panics and smashes into the rock. She then drops down onto the ledge.
-
-
-
-
Esmy: Let’s not do that ever again.
-
-
Aelyn: Esmy, are you ok?
Esmy: Still in one piece, I think.
-
Scene: The two make their way around the cliffs until they are perched above the goblins below.
-
-
-
Esmy: So, what’s the plan?
-
Aelyn: First we run along this rock ledge. Then we jump onto the building ledge. Work our way around until I can find a way down. Then drop on them and kill us a couple of goblins.
-
Esmy: Ah ya, if it’s all the same to you, I think I’ll just stay up here and cover you in case you’re spotted. I think I had enough adventures for one day.
-
Aelyn: Suit yourself
-
-
-
-
-
Scene: As Aelyn works her way around the building ledge, the two goblins below discuss their dry skin issues.
Goblin #1: Oh you are so right. Ever since they stuck me out here in this dreadful salt air, my skin has become so dry.
-
Goblin #2: I do miss the humid air of the forest. Just look at these hands, all chapped and cracking.
Goblin #1: You’re in luck my friend, about a week ago, while we were gathering up some pixies, I found this salve on one of them. It absolutely does amazing things for your skin. Here, you keep it. I’m heading back out into the forest tomorrow, and I dear say you will need it more than me.
-
-
Goblin #2: You are much too kind.
-
Goblin #1: Give it a try, and tell me this isn’t the best skin cream you’ve ever used.
Goblin #2: Oh, you are so right. You can feel it working.
-
-
-
-
Goblin #2: My friend, this is a lifesaver.
-
Aelyn: Hey boys. Can either of you give me directions to the dungeons?
-
-
Scene: they both look at each other with blank stares, then yell.
-
Aelyn: Anyone?
-
Globlins: Kill her!
-
-

-
Scene: After snapping both goblin’s necks, Aelyn gives Esmy the thumbs.
