00:07:53,333 --> 00:07:56,793
[Geckles muttering]
180
00:07:57,291 --> 00:07:58,631
The story cave!
181
00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:01,458
Take them to the story cave!
182
00:08:04,291 --> 00:08:07,751
[Gulch] Welcome to our story cave.
183
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:11,673
It is here where the history
of the Geckle people is kept.
184
00:08:11,750 --> 00:08:15,420
There appears to be
no logical narrative here.
185
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,420
This is the dawn of our people,
186
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,750
and then our first decades
are down here on this side,
187
00:08:21,833 --> 00:08:25,043
then it jumps over here to our dark ages.
188
00:08:25,125 --> 00:08:29,785
Then here,
the arrival of the great hero Gilly.
189
00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:36,333
[Gulch] Here, Gilly saves us
from the terrible beast, Grief Bringer,
190
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:39,666
and gives us the Blades of Deliverance.
191
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:40,670
[both gasp]
192
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:45,080
[Gulch] And here, the treacherous Munce
are stealing our blade, and--
193
00:08:45,166 --> 00:08:46,996
Uh, we've heard this part.
194
00:08:47,083 --> 00:08:49,963
What about the Skull Sorcerer?
Where did he come from?
195
00:08:50,041 --> 00:08:53,501
Ah, it began with the three explorers.
196
00:08:53,583 --> 00:08:54,963
[Gulch] Three adventurers
197
00:08:55,041 --> 00:08:57,041
who ventured deep into the mountain,
198
00:08:57,125 --> 00:08:58,825
into the old tunnels,
199
00:08:58,916 --> 00:09:02,036
where all Geckles are forbidden to go.
200
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:05,325
They awoke an ancient evil!
201
00:09:07,583 --> 00:09:10,333
An evil from the old world!
202
00:09:10,958 --> 00:09:13,628
[ominous music]
203
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:16,666
[Gulch] The Skull Sorcerer,
204
00:09:17,666 --> 00:09:20,456
and his evil reawakened!
205
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:27,076
Many Geckles
and even some filthy traitorous Munce
206
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:29,876
were captured
and put to work in the mines.
207
00:09:29,958 --> 00:09:31,748
Some few escaped,
208
00:09:31,833 --> 00:09:35,883
but the reawakened roam the caves,
hunting us now,
209
00:09:35,958 --> 00:09:40,038
hoping to capture us
for the Skull Sorcerer.
210
00:09:40,791 --> 00:09:44,291
Where once we lived openly,
now we must hide,
211
00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:47,625
and pray the Skull Sorcerer
does not find us.
212
00:09:47,708 --> 00:09:50,248
Geckles and Munce have a common enemy.
213
00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:52,713
If we could convince them
to put aside their differences,
214
00:09:52,791 --> 00:09:55,421
they might be able to defeat
the Skull Sorcerer together.
215
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:58,130
I don't have to convince them, Zane.
216
00:09:58,208 --> 00:10:00,128
I'm the Chancellor now, remember?
217
00:10:00,208 --> 00:10:02,668
-[Geckles muttering]
-Okay, listen up, Geckles!
218
00:10:03,250 --> 00:10:05,210
Get ready for the pebbles.
[clears throat]
219
00:10:05,291 --> 00:10:07,631
The Skull Sorcerer is the problem here.
220
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:10,418
And we're not going to beat him
unless we all team up.
221
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:12,330
So my second act as Chancellor
222
00:10:12,416 --> 00:10:16,206
will be to unite the tribe with the Munce
and forge one great army,
223
00:10:16,291 --> 00:10:18,831
to liberate these caves
from the Skull Sorcerer
224
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:21,456
once and for all!
[groans]
225
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:26,128
[laughing]
Our new Chancellor jokes!
226
00:10:27,208 --> 00:10:28,998
Ah, such a sense of humor!
227
00:10:29,083 --> 00:10:31,633
[laughing]
Is he not amusing?
228
00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:33,828
[all laughing]
229
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:38,788
I am beginning to think
this will not be so simple.
230
00:10:39,375 --> 00:10:42,415
Yeah, we'll need a different approach.
231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
[closing theme music]
