[crows cawing]
[crows continue cawing]
[frightened whimper]
[crow caws]
[crows continue cawing]
[Gnorm smacking lips and chewing]
[crows cawing]
[Gnorm grumbles]
Oh, orders from above, is it?
[chocked caws]
"Prepare to march,"
Hmmm,
[chocked caws]
Off with you, then,
We\'ll be ready,
[Sweeft chirruping]
[Tink] Nobody else in Glipwood does T,H,A,G,S,
Why do we have to?
You don\'t have to, you get to,
All right,
Why do we get to?
Because Esben would have wanted you to,
Your father isn\'t here,
but that doesn\'t mean you\'re not his children,
You\'re Igibys and Igibys learn their T,H,A,G,S,
What\'s so special about being an Igiby?
Yeah, it doesn\'t feel special being locked up inside
for the last two weeks,
Kalmar Igiby, if you don\'t want to study
the Three Honored and Great Subjects
then you can just help me fold laundry instead,
No, I,,, I didn\'t say
I didn\'t want to do T,H,A,G,S,
I just asked why we have to,
Mm-hmm,
-[Leeli\'s practices whistleharp] -[Podo giggles]
[struggles with complex notes]
[Nugget whines]
[whistleharp music continues]
[Janner gasps]
[whistleharp music continues]
[Podo grumbles]
[whistleharp music continues]
How do you spell ho,,, ho-loré?
Where did you hear that word?
It was in the song I sang with the dragons,
But those weren\'t even real words,
You were just making them up,
And I heard the dragons speak it,
But dragons don\'t sing real words!?!
-Right, Grandpa? -[carving wood]
I never yet met one that did,
Boy could it roar though!
I bet that roar could blow
all the Fangs right back to Dang!
Wait, do dragons eat Fangs?
Dragons plague the sea,
Fangs plague the land,
Neither troubles the other,
Now no more talk of dragons,
Understood?
Alright, then,
I\'ll be outside making the rounds,
[pouring rain]
[Nugget barking playfully]
[children laughing and yelling]
Yarrrr, Fang Attack!
[children laughing and yelling]
[Nugget barking playfully]
-[smack] [Janner] Oof! -[giggles]
[soft sigh]
[grumbling] [mud splatting]
[Tink] Toothy cow stampede!
[children laughing]
-[splat] -[sighs]
[groans]
[grumbling] [slice]
-[smash] -[children laughing]
Ah!
[Podo grumbles]
[playful whimpering]
[Podo groans]
[Nugget barks]
ENOUGH! [wham]
[kids gasps]
-[Podo grumbling] -[wood clanking]
It\'s been two weeks,
They need to get out of the house,
It\'s not safe,
Agh, No Fang has so much as shown their face
this side of the bridge,
[Podo groans]
We\'ve hid long enough,
In fact, it\'s time we get back to normal,
I\'m going into town tomorrow
and I\'m taking the children with me,
Oh, but Papa,,,
Just for a game \'a zibzy,
-It\'s far enough outside of town -[Nugget growls]
that no one\'ll trouble \'em,
[Nia sighs deeply]
-Ah, -[Nia giggles]
-Yeah, [kids cheer]
[rain falling]
[squeak of the door]
Who are you?!
We are Fangs!!
Fangs from where?!
Fangs from Dang!!
And who do you serve?!
The mighty Gnag!
The Nameless One who has no name!
Aright! Shut yer gobs!
Pitiful lot, you are,
You call yourself Fangs?!
FANGS FROM DANG!!
I said SHUT YER GOBS!
You\'re not Fangs!
Fangs are fearsome,
Loathsome,
You are,,,
not,
[Fang scratching]
I might even have to move up your re-Fangings,
Haha!
Might need to make it two re-Fangings for ol\' Slarb,
-[all laugh] -[whack]
Ahhh yes,
Ssslarb,
Humiliated by the Igiby-piglets and their mutt,
Those runts never thrashed me!
A rock conked my skullbone from above,
Probably that Florid Sword!
[Fangs gasp]
Come all the way from Dugtown
just to conk your noggin, [smack] did he?
[Fangs laugh] [Slarb groans angrily]
Well, we just got orders to be ready to march,
and marchin\' usually ends up in fightin\',
and fightin\' is what gets a Fang promoted!
If we impress General Khrak,
our next assignment might just be in Torrboro
and that place is swimming in maggotloaf!
[cheering]
I said SHUT YER GOBS!
Go prepare your gear,
Sharpen your spears,
And kiss your ugly mamas goodbye,
[guffawing]
What\'s so funny?
Fangs ain\'t got no mamas!
[guffawing]
I said DISMISSED!
Not you,
You\'re being reassigned,
The Black Carriage rolls into Glipwood tonight,
I\'m putting you on Carriage duty,
[Slarb hisses]
[gambloat bleating] [chewing grass]
Whoa, Danny,
Janner, keep an eye out,
And stay clear of the Forest,
Yes sir,
[Podo clicks tongue] Come on,
[snap of the reins] [horse whinnies]
Come on! Let\'s play!
But we can\'t start without her
if she\'s a team captain,
Sure we can,
I\'ll pick who I want, and she can have the leftovers,
[gambloat bleating]
You weren\'t gonna start picking teams without me,
were you, Bunce?
-[whack] -[groaning]
Whoa, You made this?
Yeah,
It took me two weeks to get it perfectly stuffed,
[ball whizzing]
Wow, This is amazing, Sara!
Aw thanks, Janner!
No, thank you!
Be quiet,
I didn\'t say anything,
So how long a match are we playing?
Three game-blocks?
Make it ten!
And losers have to eat a bowl of boggle-worms,
Whoa, The kind that glow?
The kind that glow,
Ten it is,
-[spits] -[gentle pat]
First pick,
I got Tink,
Hmm, I want Leeli,
[gasps]
Ha! Good luck,
We get Janner,
Sara, you know I\'m not that good at zibzy,
I\'ve mostly just sat on the side-lines
and watched it all my life,
That\'s exactly why I picked you,
You know every rule in this crazy game,
and that\'s going to help us win,
[sighs]
You ready to be scally-walloped?
I\'ve never lost as captain,
You\'ve never been captain,
Like I said,
All right, Let\'s do this,
Winger, Winger, Tom-Dinger!
[All] Mushmeal cakes and Hogpig bacon!
Run to the trough, it\'s here for takin\'!
[grunts]
-[sniffing] -Whoa,
[gagging and coughing]
Whoa, [hooves clop]
[door bell clanks]
Ah, hey,
[Podo groans]
Willie,,,
Podo,,, [grunts]
You know, at some point, Podo, you\'re going to have to let
old Buzzard Willie off the hook,
Ah! It\'s not me, It\'s him!
And it was almost 50 years ago,
Let bygones be bygones,
I\'m an old man, Ferinia,
All I got are me bygones,
Well, ain\'t that the truth,
What can I get you, Podo?
[Podo clearing throat]
I\'ll take the "Torrboro Special,"
[menacing music]
You looking for bad news, or worse,
Hmph,
[Nugget barks] [children laugh]
[Kids] Hey, Im open,
[Nugget barks] Over here,
Dragon striiiike!
[whack]
Good knockablock, Tink!
-Two points! -[broom whizzes]
[children yelling]
[whack] [grunts] I got bomnubbled!
I\'m froze! [whack]
Oof,
[wham] Oof,
Ah,
[thwops] [grunts]
Stormstop!
-Woo! -Middlest Wumbly-Tick!!
Three points!
Hey, nice pass, Leeli! [Leeli giggles]
Working up an appetite
for those boggle-worms, Janner?
Circle up, team!
Tink, you\'re the best banger,
Stay in goal this time and bounce their slingers,
I\'ll bolt hard
like I\'m whooshing their screechers,
When they mook their whackers,
I\'ll jake those beans cross-field to Janner
who\'ll already have skittered round their hounders,
You\'ll only have Sara to beat,
Janner gets woozy around Sara!
Come on, Bunce, Give me the shot!
I do not get woozy!
Janner will make the shot,
Hey guys, am I still frozen?!
So, you think something\'s brewing with the Fangs?
Seems to be,
Heard your grandkids got into a tussle during the festival?
Oh, maybe a lil\' scuffle, but they got clear,
Well, you should know
that Gnorm\'s got your family marked for protection,
thanks to Nia\'s tasty maggotloaf,
Aye, my Nia, she\'s a clever girl,
Oh, and that wily Fang,
[door bell clangs] [Podo clears throat]
Those Crimson Climber starts are in the back corner,
-Miss Dirgle, -Mmm-hmm,
Fine weather today, aye ma\'am?
[Mrs, Dirgle] Yes, fine,
That Fang Slarb, who messed with your grans?
Gnorm gave him a dust-up
and put him on Black Carriage duty,
Aye,
That\'ll keep him away to Fort Lamendron then,
Mhm, for a bit anyways,
You ready to buy those now, Miss Dirgle?
[sigh]
[gambloat bleats]
-[ball whooshes] -[kids grunt]
Humph,
[children chattering]
[Kids] Dragon striiike!!!
[groaning]
Hey, this isn\'t saddle zibzy!
You never called it!
Too late now!
-He\'s kind of right, -Agh!
[gambloat bleating]
Ah!
[gambloat bleating]
[groans]
[wham]
Whahoo!
Mash-plonker, three points!
We win the first game-block!
Jebb can\'t unfreeze yet,
That was a rule-break,
I was about to be trampled to death
by a gambloat!
Good point, Leeli,
Jebb broke his freeze,
That\'s four points for us,
We win the first game-block!
What?
Great job, Tink,
You lost the game-block and Sara\'s new ball,
I\'ll get it,
Janner, No,
The woods are dangerous,
This is different,
I\'m doing it to help someone,
[deep breath]
Hmm,
[leaves rustle]
[squawking]
-Ugh, -[hissing]
-Ugh, -[squawking]
-[flitting] -Ugh,
[munching]
[squawking] [gulp]
Whoa,
[nervous giggle]
[leaves rustle]
[surprised gasp]
Ah! [thumps]
Youngiby Iggyfeather!
Heyyy,,, Peet?
What are you doing here?
Where? Oh,
Here? Me?
-[Thwapperfly flitting] -Ah!
-[smack] -[shriek]
[Pete groans]
[Thwapperfly flitting]
Hahaha!
Hi, Mr, The Sock Man!
[whack]
[Podo] Igiby\'s!
[horse neighs]
[PODO] Come along home, now,
Your mother\'ll be worried,
Uh, Sock Man or not,
just you wait \'til next game, Janner Igiby!
This match goes on for eight more blocks!
[inhale and exhale]
[Rand] ,,,No way,
[Podo] Oy, Tink!
Let\'s go, lad!
Bye, guys!
[whip cracks] [hooves trot]
-[door opens] -[Nugget barks]
[Nia] I see you got the \'Torrboro Special\'
at Ferinia\'s again,
[groans] Did more\'n that, I did,
I also found out that troublesome Fang
was reassigned to Carriage duty,
so he shouldn\'t be a problem around Glipwood for awhile,
We can relax,
Aye,
No more of this layin\' low an\' creepin\' about,
So,,, I can go in to help Mr, Reteep tomorrow?
It\'s Fourthday,
He\'ll want me to unload the new shipment of books!
All right,
But stay clear of any Fangs,
I will! Thank you!
[Nia] And take with you,
-[Janner gasps and groans] -[Tink smacks lips]
I\'m going there to work,
I can\'t watch him the whole time,
And Leeli,
Leeli and I have some business of our own
to attend to, -[Leeli giggles]
Huh, Well, then,
That settles it,
[Tink smacking lips]
[deep sigh]
[horse trotting]
[door creaking]
Another shipment?
[clunk]
[clanking of panel]
[whistle]
[clanking swords]
[swish]
Careful, brother,
Those aren\'t flowers you\'re loading,
They\'re going to the Manor, yes?
[Driver] Indibnibly,,,
Um, Yes,
The Manor,
A place no sane person would want to visit,
[chuckles] Perfect,
[swish]
[clanking]
Travel well, old friend, [smack]
-[whistle] -[wagon bell]
[fruit whishes]
Thanks, Mr, Shooster!
Zouzab will love this,
[door squeaks]
Hello?
Mr, Reteep?
Zouzab?
[whoosh] [munching]
-[Tink] Zouzab! -[Zouzab gulps]
You summoned?
Is Mr, Reteep around?
Young Janner, Yes,
He\'s out back,
Mr, Reteep?
[Mr, Reteep struggling]
Ah, here, Mr, Reteep,
Let me help,
Ah, Janner!
A most timely arrival,
I knew a shipment was due today,
Clever boy,
Ever so observant!
Why don\'t you unload these crates,
and I\'ll sort them,
Mr, Reteep, where do you get all of these books?
From all over Skree,
And beyond,
After the great war,
many of the folk from across the Dark Sea came here,
As they\'ve passed through,
I\'ve collected and preserved everything I could,
As the great librarian Gheeta Puttlestuphf once said,
"Behind every epic victory and crushing defeat is a librarian
who told you which aisle it\'s in,"
I wish I could go on adventures, searching for books,
The furthest I\'ve ever been is to the field
beyond Buzzard Willie\'s garden,
And that was for a picnic,
If there\'s one thing I learned in all my travels, lad,
it\'s that some of the best journeys
happen at home,
Picture it,
A warm fire, tucked away with a good book,
What I\'m trying to say
is that for as much as you want to see the wider world,
don\'t forget the glow of home,
Don\'t forget this place,
One day I\'m going to need help running it, you know,
Heh, that\'s still a long way away,
Here, I\'ll help you with the next crate,
Anniera,,,
[Mr, Reteep gasps frightfully]
Oh,,, that,
That\'s nothing,
Why don\'t I finish up here and I\'ll meet you at the front,
Run along,
[thwaps squeal] [Nugget barks]
Quiet, boy,
Grandpa, what are we doing?
Dumping these scallawags
where they can\'t steal our totatoes anymore!
But why Buzzard Willie\'s farm?
\'Cause he\'ll think it\'s funny!
Here, give me a hand,
He\'ll think it\'s funny when thwaps steal his totatoes?
Uh,,,
Fifty years ago, Willie and I were best friends,
but both sweet on the same gal,
Willie swooped in and stole
Merna Bridgeholler\'s heart afore I could woo her,
And you\'re still mad about it?
Mad?
Naw, I don\'t reckon I\'m still mad,
We just kinda got in the habit of payin\' each other back,
prank upon prank,
And after awhile I,,,
Oh, I know it sounds strange, but--
And after awhile you were having so much fun
pulling pranks on each other
that you almost started to feel like friends again?
Well, I,,, I never said that!
No one steals my Grandpa\'s girl and gets away with it,
[thwaps squeal]
[thump] [thwaps squeal]
[thwaps squealing]
[Willie grunts] Hey!
[Leeli giggles]
[Willie] Hey!
[swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh]
[Tink panting]
[swoosh, swoosh, swoosh]
Whoa! [crashes]
[cat screeches]
[sighs]
Tink! Are you okay?
I\'m fine,
Me and Zou,,,
Wha,,,
[clank]
That\'s weird,
What is it?
[Janner] A map,
But to what?
Treasure probably!
Oh, or,,, or a secret hideout for Fang fighters!
Put it back, Tink,
It\'s not ours,
And if it is Fang fighters--
If what is Fang fighters?
I,,, uh,,, uh,,,
Yes?
We,,, were like,,,
What do you have there?
[clanks]
-We,,, -You mean this?
"The Art of Itching"?
Or this,,,
Give it to me,
The itch book?
No! The luscious juicy,,,
Fetch,
That was close,
What was close?
[boys gasp and groan]
Is everything all right?
Uhh,
You\'re hiding something,
[Tink whimpers]
Your secret is safe with me, child,
But if you wish to cure a vexing rash,
there are more helpful books than this,
Believe me, I\'ve read them all, if you know what I mean,
Oh, I do know what you mean, sir,
I recommend you begin with the classic diagnostic manual
"Pimples, Dimples, Scabs and Scars,"
If you have a moment, I\'ll fetch it,
Unfortunately, we don\'t,
We\'re already late,
Promised our mom
we\'d be home to help with dinner,
In that case, I\'ll pull some books,
[whispering] About itches,,,
And have them waiting at the desk
next time you come in,
[Tink] Uh, thanks?
Ah!
"A Beginner\'s Guide
To Scratching Unreachable Places,,,"
[door slams]
,,,might aid that suffering child,
[geef flutter]
[Podo groans]
Leeli, dear,
I made you something,
To replace what you lost,
Here,
[Leeli giggles] Lizardkicker?
A sailor earns her sea-name by her brave deeds,
I\'d say you earned this one when you fought the Fang!
And we\'re very proud of her for it,
But, just the once,
Right, Leeli?
Fangs are like toothy cows: better not to meet them at all,
Right,
Thank you, Grandpa,
Arr!
Now those Fangs\'ll be quakin\' in their scales
at the sight of the mighty Leeli!
[Leeli giggles]
How\'s that itch, Tink?
[Podo] What itch?
Nothing,
Mister Reteep got it in his head I had a rash
so he tried to give me books about itches,
Why would Oskar think that?
Now mark my words, boy, if it\'s sort of reddish-green,
and your toes swell up,
you can take the fatty gut parts of a swindle-fish
and you grind em\' up--
[Nia] Papa!
That\'s not appropriate talk for the table,
[Podo] I\'m only saying,
If the boy has a rash,
he might be too embarrassed to admit it,,,
I don\'t have a rash!
Why does everyone think I have a rash?!
[surprised murmur]
[insects chirruping]
[Nugget groans]
I told you to put it back!
I couldn\'t because of nosey Zouzab
and then Oskar\'s itch crusade!
We barely got out of there without getting caught,
It\'s not ours, Tink,
Do you think it\'s Mister Reteep\'s?
I don\'t know,
but if it has to do with resistance fighters
then it\'s important and someone needs it,
We have to put it back,
But right now, while we have it, couldn\'t we just follow it
to see what secret it leads to?
And then put it back?
It\'s not ours Tink,
If there\'s a secret, it\'s not our secret,
All right,
But can\'t we just look at it at least?
[resisting groan]
Fine,
But just for a minute,
Hey, doesn\'t that look a lot like Fingap Falls?
Which means this,,,
would be where Glipwood is,,,
[Tink] And Ferinia\'s Flower Shop
is here where this special mark is,
So, then all of this dark part is the forest,
Then what\'s that
right in the middle of the woods?
Anklejelly Manor, I think,
I\'ve heard of that!
Isn\'t it haunted by the ghost of Brimney Stupe?
Nah, probably just a story,
I don\'t know anyone who\'s ever been there,
So why is a map to Anklejelly Manor
stashed in a secret spot at Books and Crannies?
Is Oskar secretly a treasure hunter?!
-Or a Fang fighter?! -[door opens]
Quick!
You barnacle-scrapers asleep yet?
Yes sir!
[Janner giggles] Almost!
Didn\'t know my grandsons slept standin\' up,
Candles out,
G\'night,
[Janner] Night Grandpa,
[Tink] Night Grandpa,
It could be treasure,
Or Fang fighters,
[blowing]
[water rolling]
[boat creaking]
[clatter of horses]
[bell tolls]
[clatter of horses]
[bell tolls]
[doors clang open]
[marching]
[doors clang open]
-[doors clang open] -[marching]
Rise, my child,
Would you sing the song of stones?
[Fangs] We wish the power to be our own!
Then let it bend both shape and form,
[Fangs] And make us fierce as fire and storm!
The Nameless One no longer believes
the Jewels of Anniera are in Skree,
He means to march west, beyond the edges of the map,
Why does the mighty one continue to seek these jewels?
Would you question the wisdom of Gnag The Nameless, General?
When we sacked Anniera,
many writings of Wingfeather were found,
He spoke of the Jewel\'s ancient power,
Power that makes many things possible
with more,,, pliable souls,
Ah,
Which is why he has ordered us to seize the brats of Dugtown,
Yes, my child,
But it is not enough,
The Carriage must now travel nightly,
For Gnag!
Gnag! Gnag! Gnag! Gnag! Gnag! Gnag!
[music]
