Map to Stars Reach Episode 5

Mysterious Rogue: "You are really listening to that Goblin's lies? Suit yourself. I smell trouble coming so I'm out of here. Later nerds!"

Quick as a cat and silent as a snake, the mysterious Rogue picks the Cell Door lock and races off into the dark hallway.

Chicken Thief: "Don't you-sa listen to dat Rogue, you-sa make wise-good descision sticking with me-sa. By the way, me-sa name Chicken Thief. Me-sa big important Goblin so we-sa not have to wait much longer. Me-sa friends coming to break me out quick-fast."

While the words "friends coming to break me out" gave the Apprentices a bad feeling, what they heard next gave them a worse one... Suddenly a loud explosion rocks the fortress as shouts of terror and pain cry out. After what you guess was a short battle the sounds of marching echoes down the stairs.

Thats when you realized, you were tricked...

With only Chicken Thief's laughs for a warning, a swarm of goblin's raid the prison cell throwing each and every Apprentice into a dirty burlap sack. One Apprentice manages to confront the Goblin Prisoner before being abducted, exclaiming "But we took you at your word! You pinky-promised us!"

Chicken Thief: "Dumb-dumb man-boys. Don't you-sa have eyeballs? Goblin's don't have pinkies! But we-sa do haves middle fingers!!"

The Goblin betrayer dances around shoving his rude hand gesture at each Apprentice filled sac as it is carried off. However before the Apprentices could shout curses in return, they were beaten repeatedly until everything went black...

After an indiscriminate amount of time, you are awoken to the sound of gruff and grizzled voices arguing with one another.

Young Orc: "You always get invited to parties, Bilgorg! Let me bring Apprentices to King Grundle. It's my turn."

Bilgorg: "You get invited when you earn invitation! It was my idea to raid Fort Isaac while soldiers were away, so me gets prize."

Young Orc: "But it was me that picked which Goblins to be in raid! I deserve chance to impress King Grundle!"

Bilgorg: "Shut your pie-hole or I'll shut it for you!"

Young Orc: "You think I'm afraid of you cause you won a fights in the ring? Let me show you how we fight in the streets!"

Goblins: "Oooooo!! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

With the goblins rushing to surround the two orcs, the Apprentices find themselves completely unrestrained and unguarded. Taking advantage of the opportunity, they all sneakily step out and make their way through the maze of goblin tunnels.

After hours of dodging search parties and looking for an exit, the Apprentices come to a fork in the path. One direction leads into a stone tunnel obviously not made by goblins, and the other is a rope ladder leading upwards that smells like flowers.

What will they choose: The Rope Ladder or the Stone Tunnel?
