What\'s that?
A Fang-repellant,
It looks like a troll necklace,
It\'s for Sara,
I mean for a pretty kind of troll,
See, you stuff a bunch of crushed up bullyblossoms
in this part,
And the Fangs--
Ohhh and those mean Fangs hate how sweet it smells
so they run off!
Whoops,
I have an idea,
Janner!
Oh, hey Tink,
Sorry, I\'m concentrating here,
Great,
Concentrate on this,
I know! I know!
I\'ll take it back,
But what do you think is hidden there?
Gold? Pirates?
A band of Fang-fighting Fang-fighters?
I think it\'s none of our business,,,
,,,because it\'s not our map,
Is that your book?
What? I borrowed it from Mr, Reteep,
Just like I borrowed his map,
It\'s not the same,
I saw this same mark on an old barrel behind Ferinia\'s,
You think it\'s a code?
At the flower shop?
Oh, and check this out,
"Be you friend or be you foe,
"beware to all who follow,
"For in the catacombs below, is hidden in the hollow,
"A way that leads to pain and woe,
"sadness, grief, and sorrow,
"The hungry ghost of Brimney Stupe,
awaits your bones to swallow,"
Shhhh!
Okay, little brother,
We\'ll head to town soon, then?
Found it,
See, you can stuff the bullyblossom petals in here,
Where did you get this?
I dug it up when I was planting fuzzbonnets,
I think it\'s old,
Well,,, You don\'t want to keep it?
What I want is for you to marry Sara Cobbler,
This could help,
Leeli, we\'re just friends,
Like you and the Blaggus boys are friends?
Exactly!
So when are you gonna make their necklaces?
[Tink] ,,,so why can\'t we just borrow,,, something
from Oskar for a while longer,
like a book, I mean,
Because we\'re taking everything back today,
Sure, but what if it was a book
that could send you on an amazing adventure?
Wouldn\'t you borrow that book for just one little extra day?
Not if I didn\'t have permission,
But it could be just like living inside
a mystery adventure story!
Maybe we already are,
What do you mean?
The dragon song?
A Sea dragon spoke to us,
Just to us,
That has to mean something,
I think the dragon song messed with your heads,
I didn\'t hear anything,
If you had, that\'s the mystery you\'d want to solve,
But your way of solving mysteries
is to read sneezy old books
instead of going on a real adventure!
Whoa!
Stay away from the edge,
I was fine,
[townspeople chatter]
Uh, let\'s go this way,
What is he doing,,,?
[the Sockman mutters to himself]
Old Peet is so weird,
Like hilarious weird,
He always makes me sad,
Seriously, return these now, Tink,
And please make sure it\'s all of them,
Fine,
Hey, what are you gonna say to Sara?
Just,,, I don\'t know,
I\'ll say I made this with bullyblossoms
to keep the Fangs away
and then I thought about who might like it
and then I thought you might like it
because you know all about flowers
and you like flowers and you don\'t like Fangs
and I hope you like this necklace I made,
Oh, does that sound silly?
I don\'t know, ask her,
I think a Fang-repellent necklace is a great idea,
Maybe Ferinia should start selling them!
Aww! I love it,
Thank you, Janner!
You\'re welcome,
Uh,,, so,,, wanna go to Books & Crannies with us?
Oh, I can\'t,
I have to work,
All right,
Uh, Well, uh, we have to go find Tink,
I guess I\'ll see you next week,
Let\'s go, Leeli,
Oh!
Hey, have you ever seen a silver moonbloom?
A what?
The most giant flower in all of Skree,
They\'re as big as, as Leeli,
and they only open once every seven years!
You saw one?
On the cliff wall,
It was already glowing, so I think it\'s about to open,
You wanna meet on the bridge at dawn to see it?
Uh, sure!
We can meet whenever you want!
Uh, sure that,,, that sounds fine,
Okay,
Well, I have to go water a bunch of purplies out back,
Thanks for the Fang repellant,
I hope it works!
See you in the morning!
Ah, young Tink,
I suppose you\'re back for more books about,,,
itches, rashes, scratchy patches,
Oh, uh, yeah!
Yes sir,
I know I have
"A Compendium of Irresistible Itches of Skree,"
with an appendix ranking the relative pleasures
of scratching each variety,
Now where could that be,,,?
Tink has berries?
Uh,,, Of course!
A plumyum!
But I-I hid it,
Somewhere in the shop!
So you can have a fun treasure hunt,
[Zouzab] Plumyum treasure-hunt?
Where?!
Uh, somewhere in the shop,
You have to go find it,
I will!
[Zouzab] Tink hid plumyumminess!
Whoa!
[Mr, Reteep] "Appointments With Ointments:
Reflections of a Rashologist,"
As Coyl Dumpleford wrote: "This could help,"
All right uh,,,thanks,
I should probably,,,
,,,go find Janner and Leeli now,
Well, in the immortal last words of General Schnimp: "Toodles!"
Ah!
Boys!
This is not a zibzy green!
There you are,
I found something so amazing at Oskar\'s!
You were supposed to put that back!
I did put it back,
And then I unput it,
Look!
There was even more secret stuff!
The Florid Sword?
And look!
The crossed rose and sword!
Right there!
This proves it!
Proves what?
Anklejelly Manor is his hideout!
What if it is?
Then we can go there,
find him and join his fight against the Fangs!
You\'d be gobbled by a toothy cow before you got to Anklejelly,
Even if you found the Florid Sword,
do you think he wants kids to join his army?
Well, not ones with your attitude,
Tink, look,
You have to take that and the map back
before Mr, Reteep sees they\'re gone and I get blamed,
Maybe I\'ll just run away without you
and join the Florid Sword\'s Fang-fighting Fang-fighters,
Tonight\'s snatchy list,
But some of these names are,,,
We get to snatch kiddies now?
New orders,
Take one youngling per town to start with,
Spread the terror round evenly,
Ugh!
The stink of all them kid-piggies up close
will make us gaggy!
Three towns is too many!
It\'ll take us all night!
Well, best get to it then, grunts!
So,,, a friend invited me to meet at the bridge at dawn
to see a moonflower that\'s probably blooming
and it\'s the only time in seven years
so I want to go,
and I told them I thought I could,
so I\'m wondering if I can go meet them,,,?
Oh, honey, I\'m sorry,
I-I don\'t know if it\'s safe,
The Fangs hardly even move in the morning
before the sun warms them up,
And I\'m meeting her before dawn so I\'ll be back by breakfa--
Her?
Oh, I thought we were talking about Jebb Blaggus,
Jebb?
He doesn\'t care about flowers,
I\'m meeting,,, Sara,
Cobbler,
I-I know you play zibzy in the same group,
I just didn\'t know you two were,,, were,,,
,,,such good buddies,
I like talking to her because she\'s interested
in the animals and plants in Glipwood forest
just like I am,
and we like all the same books
and she\'s funny and smart and really good at zibzy,
Well,,,
You want this old man\'s opinion?
It\'ll be fine, Nia,
Glipwood\'s been quiet of late,
I say let the boy go,
HALT!
This one ain\'t on our snatchy list,
It are now,
Gook where you\'re lowing, tall sir!
What? What?
Well, your mother bakes mediocre pies!
Now let me pass or I\'ll hearn you the lard way!
Waiting for someone?
No,
I mean, just a friend,
Hmm,
Will be waiting a loooong time,
Your friend took a carriage ride last night,,,
A Black Carriage ride,,,
WITH ME!
Do you want it?
A keepsake?
Well, you can\'t have it!
They took Sara!
Oh!
What happened?
The Fangs!
Slarb!
The Black Carriage!
Slow down, boy,
But that can\'t be right,
Nah, the\'ve never taken kids from these parts,
He-he did take her,
And,,,
And what, honey?
It was because of me, mama!
Lad, the evil those creatures do ain\'t your fault,
Maybe Mayor Blaggus can do something,
Papa, get Danny hitched up while I fetch something to barter,
Stout heart, son,
Watch your brother and sister,
We\'ll be back soon,
Tink! Let me see that,
Grab some supplies,
For what?
We\'re going to Anklejelly,
See, now you\'re acting like the big brother I always wanted!
Just to be clear,
you\'re agreeing my plan was a good one all along?
We have to find the Florid Sword,
The Sordid who?
Leeli, stay home and keep the door barred
\'til we get back,
Where are you going?
To the scary, secret--
They took Sara and he\'s the only one
who can get her back,
-Who took Sara? -Who can get her back?
The Florid Sword,
Wait, the Florid Sword took Sara?!
No, the Florid Sword can get her back,
The Fangs took her,
Where?
In the Black Carriage last night,
They snatched a kid?
Why would they take Sara?
Why doesn\'t matter,
Getting help matters,
Ready, Tink?
Nugget, stay and guard Leeli!
I\'m going,
She was my friend too,
They took a child last night!
Hush!
You knew about this?
Considering the girl\'s parents
were pounding on my bedroom window before dawn,
yes, I heard all about it!
Then it\'s really true,
They\'re taking children from Glipwood now!
Not just Glipwood,
Runners from Lamendron and Torrboro
report kids taken from those towns too,
We have to do something to help!
Help?
Here\'s how you can help, Podo Helmer,
go home and forget that girl ever existed,
We must be close,
Oh, look! Squeeblin!
It\'s sooo cute!
No! Nothing in this forest is just cute,
Squeeblin bites are the fifth most painful in all of Skree,
If it sees us, I\'ll distract it,
You two run,
Do squeeblins have a weakness?
Hmm,,,
Pembrick says they\'re "prone to melancholy,"
Does that mean they like to eat melons?
It means they get really sad,
I could play a sad song,
The saddest song you know,
[whistleharp music begins]
It\'s working!
Hurry before it cheers up,
Another squeeblin?
A horned hound!
Come on!
What\'s their weakness?
They don\'t have one!
What I\'m saying is,
if the Fangs aren\'t messing with you,
don\'t mess with them!
Why make trouble for the town?
You still have all three of your own kids, don\'t you?
Of course,
Then count your blessings and mind your own business,
I\'ve got five blessings I\'ll count upside your skull--
Papa!
Here,,,
Take this to Gnorm as a gift,
He loves his shinies,
And persuade him to return the girl,
Oh, I\'ll not put my own boys at risk for such a fool\'s hope,
The girl is gone,
Then keep it to bribe the Fangs
when the Black Carriage comes for your sons,
Just tell us what you know,
Where have they taken Sara?
Dugtown?
Lamendron? Who knows?
All I know is no one ever comes back,
\'Cause we\'ve got a mayor who won\'t put up any fuss
to get \'em back!
The Cobbler girl was taken for someone else\'s selfishness!
What do you mean?
Gnag wants one thing,
and someone out there isn\'t giving it to him,
And just what do you think that monster\'s greedy claws
are clacking for?
The jewels of Anniera,
Jewels,,,?
The Jewels of Anniera are just a legend,
Everyone knows that,
Time to play seek-and-find,,,
Anklejelly Manor,
Come on,
[Leeli] Why is that lady swinging a cat?
Doesn\'t look like anyone\'s been here in a hundred years,
Maybe the Florid Sword just disguised his hideout
to look like no one\'s here,
Wait,
What if it\'s full of cave blats?
Weren\'t you the one who wanted so bad to come here?
Sure, but I thought it\'d be more fun,
Not so creepy,
Thank you for stopping by,
Now if you\'ll excuse me,
I\'ve got to arrange some rotten fish guts
to deliver to our Fangs,
Our Fangs?
Grown precious to you, have they?
Tell me Citizen Helmer, when kids are being taken,
do you think it wise to insult the one man
the Fangs still consult with?
Now you listen here, you!
Papa! No more,
We\'ll go home before dark, right?
We\'ll go home once we\'ve found the Florid Sword,
There\'s gotta be a secret passage here somewhere!
Sure, but,,,
"The hungry ghost of Brimney Stupe
awaits your bones to swallow,"
Just sayin\',
I\'m not as worried about ghosts
as some of the creatures in the forest,
[Leeli] Found something!
There,
The catacombs below,,,
[Janner] Is there anything on the map?
No secret passages marked here,
Oh, there\'s nothing up here,
So, the hideout has to be down there,
[snap of rotted plank]
Horned hounds!
They must be attracted to the fire,
We have to get down,
No, Janner!
Are you crazy?!
[Janner] I\'m fine,
Mostly,
Uh Tink, help Leeli over the edge and I\'ll catch her,
Hurry!
Let go!
No, she\'ll fall!
Let go! I\'ll catch her,
Tink! Come on!
You okay?
Yeah,
Let\'s go,
[Slarb] Where would a human hide their shinies?
Yes, Annieran jewels,,,
Oh, General Khrak will make me a Colonel for this,
Then we\'ll see how Gnorm squirms!
Hello?
Mister Florid Sword?
We need your help,
Please don\'t hurt us,
We\'re just kids!
It\'s bolted,
Maybe it\'s a code,
You just push the right buttons and the door opens,
But there\'s tons of buttons,
We\'ll never guess it!
There must be a clue in the map,
Whoa!
Wow,
There really are Fang fighters,,,
Whose stuff is all this?
Esben,,,
Wingfeather,
It could be the Fang fighters!
Or,,, the Fangs!
Must have just been the wind banging something,
Or the ghost banging something,
We should find a way out before the hounds come back,
Run!
Faster!
I am faster!
Whatever your plan was,
I think we need a better one!
