Aelyn: How did you get down here so fast?
Esmy: Secret backdoors behind the rocks
-
Scene: They then hear someone coming down the stairs. As they turn, Cessi and Astrin are coming down the stairs. When Cessi sees Aelyn, she run to her and hugs her.

-
Esmy: Oh, what happened to Elum?
Astrin: Vulsa’ sick idea of, what did she say Cessi?
-
Cessi: She called him leverage.
Aelyn: She’s desperate, and getting more dangerous. We need to find a way to destroy this place.
Astrin: Well, task 1 completed. Xi went to rescue Ellia. You’ll also have to find Amira and her husband.
Aelyn: We’ll find them. The backdoor is just down this hallway. We’re on our way to get the sisters.
Astrin: This place is a maze. But if you take those stairs up and to the left, you’ll find the prison section. Hopefully they’re in one of those sections. Work quick, it won’t be long before someone spots all of the dead goblins.
-
Scene: As Astrin and Cessi head for the backdoor, Aelyn and Esmy head off to find the sisters.

Lilan: Do you think they’ll kill us?
Seina: I don’t know Lilan. I’m sure Ellia is looking for us.
-
-
Scene: After heading up one of the staircases, Aelyn and Esmy peek down the hall into one of the prison sections. Past a gate sat a guard outside one of the cells that they could just see through an opening in the gate.
Aelyn: Do you think you could do a kill shot from here.
Esmy: It’s a very narrow opening with no room for error. But ya, I can make the shot.
-
-
Scene: Esmy then takes aim, shoots her arrow through the opening, and through the ear of the guard, killing him. The two of them then creep up to the gate, but before opening it, they have to duck down as an orc at the end of the other hall walks by to check on the guard.

Togar: Ugh! Cretic, you lazy beast. This is why you guard children.
-
-
Scene: After Togar leaves, Aelyn and Esmy quietly open the gate and head to the cells in hopes of finding the three sisters. As Aelyn approaches the first one, she sees Baboo and after opening the door, quietly calls to her.
-
Aelyn: Baboo
Baboo: Aelyn!
-
Aelyn: Shhhhh
-
Scene: Baboo then jumps off her bed and runs over to Aelyn.

Scene: Meanwhile, Esmy has opened the door to release Lilan and Seina. As they all come together, Ellia and Xi come running to meet them.

Ellia: I can’t believe we found you, this place is a maze. Were you able to find Amira and her husband?
Aelyn: They’re here too?
-
Amira & Her Husband: We’re down here!
-
Scene: After letting them out of their cells, Amira and her husband embrace each other.

Ellia: Sorry I have to break up this happy reunion, but I’m sure by now the orcs would have noticed our presence. We need to go.
