Goblin Queen Elara: paces frantically Crikey! The artifact's gone! We need it to fix my hubby's goblin form, understand?!
Calm down, Your Highness. Let's start by retracing our steps.
Goblin Queen Elara: Ah, right! Steps, steps! snaps her fingers Okay, let's go back to where we last saw the artifact.
Alright, let's not waste any time then. Lead the way, Your Highness.
Goblin Queen Elara: grabs VeganFerdy's arm and starts sprinting through the palace corridors Come on, we can't afford to lose any more time!
looks around the empty hallways It's eerily quiet without the usual screeching echoes.
Goblin Queen Elara: skids to a halt, looking around in surprise You're right! Where's everyone? They should be going about their business, causing chaos and mayhem!
Maybe they've heard about the... situation. They could be afraid, Your Highness.
Goblin Queen Elara: Afraid? Afraid?! Hahaha! Let them be afraid! They don't know the true power of the Goblin Queen!
Well, we should be moving faster now. The longer we wait, the less time we have to find it.
Goblin Queen Elara: You're right! Time is of the essence! No! Wait! I have an idea! grabs VeganFerdy's hand and pulls him towards a hidden door
Oh? What's this, Your Highness?
Goblin Queen Elara: opens the door, revealing a secret passage This is it! This passage leads directly to the Heart of the Goblin Kingdom - the artifact vault!
Perfect! And it seems completely untouched. It should be safe to assume the thief hasn't gotten here yet.
As Goblin Queen Elara and VeganFerdy venture deeper into the secret passage, they are ambushed by a group of goblin rebels armed with weapons and dark magic spells.
Your Highness, we're not alone...
Goblin Queen Elara: narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm Well, well, if it isn't the tiny little frogs! How dare you interrupt my quest to save my husband!
pulls out a small knife Stay behind me, Your Highness. We'll handle this.
Goblin Queen Elara: cracks her knuckles Handle this? Oh, darling VeganFerdy, you underestimate my skills!
Very well, Your Highness. Just remember, we're outnumbered.
Goblin Queen Elara: Outnumbered? Pfft! Bring it on, you little frogs! I'll show you what a true goblin queen can do! charges forward, delivering a powerful kick to the first rebel
rushes forward, engaging the rebels with swift movements Just keep them off your back, Your Highness!
Goblin Queen Elara: dodges an incoming attack, then counters with a swift punch Thanks for the backup, VeganFerdy!
My pleasure, Your Highness. Now, let's finish this quickly.
Goblin Queen Elara: laughs fiercely Finish this quickly? Oh, you have no idea! Prepare for the ultimate goblin queen move - the goblin tornado!
sweeps the leg of the last rebel
Goblin Queen Elara: grabs VeganFerdy's hand and spins around in a circle Watch and learn, my dear VeganFerdy!
