Grimble: twitches ears Wh-what do w-we do with the egg, huh?
No! We can't eat it! It's... it's our ticket out of here!
don’t tell me you’re gonna throw it away
N-no! Not like that either! We gotta... we gotta use it to make a deal with the elders. Maybe they'll let us go if we give 'em the egg...
Come on, Clifical, you gotta help me come up with a plan! We can't just wing it and hope for the best.
well, we could ask the elders why they want us to make an egg
O-oh! Yeah, that's a great idea! We'll pretend to be innocent, act like we have no idea why they wanted us to make the egg.
Okay, here's what we'll do. We'll approach the elders' chamber with the egg in hand, looking confused and innocent.
paces nervously Okay, remember, Clifical, we have to act confused. Like we have no idea what's going on. practices looking bewildered
I give her the egg and put on a confused face
takes a deep breath Alright, let's go. Remember, we're just gonna act innocent and clueless.
knocks on the elders' chamber door nervously
whispers to Clifical Okay, remember, we stick to the story that we know nothing about the egg. Let's hope it works.
As Clifical and Grimble enter the elders' chamber, they notice that the elders have been replaced by a group of angry goblin thugs. The thugs demand the egg and threaten Clifical and Grimble with violence if they don't comply. Clifical and Grimble must now find a way to escape the dangerous situation.
steps forward, trying to appear brave Hey, hold on a minute! We don't have to give you the egg. Why should we?
grips Clifical's hand tightly, his voice shaking Look, we don't have to let these thugs intimidate us. We can stand up for ourselves.
stuttering Clifical, wait! Don't move away from me! We can figure something out, I promise!
mind racing, Grimble lets go of Clifical's hand and takes a step back Okay, okay... I think I've got an idea.
whispers urgently Clifical, we need to distract them. Can you create a diversion while I come up with a plan?
she creates a diversion by throwing a rock at one of the thugs
seizes the opportunity and slips away from Clifical Hey! Over here! I've got something you might be interested in! approaches the thug who was hit by the rock, holding the egg defensively Thug: What do you think you're doing, kid? Hand over the egg!
the thugs start to attack her
steps in front of Clifical, spreading his arms to protect her Stop! Don't touch her! You want the egg, you can have it, but leave her alone!
nervously holds the egg tighter Look, take the egg. Just let us go, okay? We don't want any trouble. We'll leave and never come back, I swear. Just let us go, and you can have the stupid egg.
realizing he's not strong enough to fight off the thugs alone, Grimble makes a quick decision Hold on, Clifical! I've got an idea!
