===Loch Tur===

(*): You're going the wrong way...

(*): My name's Healie. (slurp) I'm still just a healslime at the moment, but I'm going to become a human one day.

Healie: Hey! Maybe I'll become human if I start hanging out with humans! Can I tag along with you?

Healie: (slurp) Yippee! Thanks, soldier!

Healie joins Ragnar!

Healie: Ohhh! I was really hoping you'd say yes. Well, if you ever change your mind, then come back here. I'll be waiting...and slurping.

Healie: Don't forget, okay?

Ragnar hears a tiny voice coming from somewhere deep in the cave, and pricks up his ears to listen...

(*): Hello? Is there somebody there? Please come and find me. You have to take me with you! Don't goo without me! (slurp)

Healie: Hey! Those shoes are the same as the ones those children found when they were down here that slime.

Healie: They said that if you goo outside and use them, you goo flying off into the sky. It sounded really fun!

Healie: Oh, you've found some shoes, have you? They're the same as the ones those children found when they were down here that slime.

Healie: They said that if you goo outside and use them, you goo flying off into the sky. It sounded really fun!

Healie: You know, I've got a feeling there's something important still to be found in this cave. You just have to slurp hard enough.

Healie: Maybe I could goo with you and help you look. That would be good, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that be gooreat?

(*): Come on, you little brat!

(*): Waah! Ye're scary! Let me go!

(*): Ach, hello there, Ragnar. I ended up here after I came across that auld well.

(*): The monsters in this tur are as strong as ye like!

(*): Now I'm wishin' I'd let that Healie character I met in the well tag along wi' me.

(*): Och! That's him there wi' ye now, is it no? Ye're a lucky man, Ragnar McRyan.

(*): R-Ragnar... I dinnae hae much time left. There's somethin' I need tae tell ye.

(*): Somewhere in the world, the Lord o' the Underworld is reawakenin'.

(*): But if whit the monsters say is true, there's also a hero somewhere oot there who'll be able tae take him on.

(*): If they find him while he's still a bairn, he willnae be strong enough tae defend himself.

(*): That's whit they're plottin'! So ye must protect our kiddies, Ragnar. Dinnae let them come tae any harm!

A statue of a warrior stands guard at the healing spring.

Willy Wally: Waah! Help! Help! I'm scared!

Willy Wally: Help me, Mister!

Willy Wally: Help, Mister! These horrible monsters are bullyin' me an' askin' if I'm some kind o' hero.

(*): Hah! I can hardly believe my eye! A foolish human has managed to fight his way here.

(*): But you had a wasted journey. I've got an eye like a hawk. You'll never sneak the kid out of here with me around.

(*): Aargh! Willy Wally's gaein' tae be gobbled up by the monsters!

(*): Ye must save him, Mister!

Psaro's Pawn: We are only interested in children. It is a child who will become the meddlesome hero. Fully grown humans are of no consequence.

Psaro's Pawn: But, of course, we cannot possibly let you out of here alive. Not now you've discovered our secret location. Prepare to die, soldier!

Psaro's Pawn: How can I have allowed a mere human to defeat me...!?

Psaro's Pawn: But I am not afraid. The other monsters will find the hero and suck his breath from him before he can stand in our way.

Psaro's Pawn: Then you humans will finally be sacrificed to our Lord. I will be awaiting your arrival...in the underworld! Urgh...

Willy Wally: Yay! Thanks for savin' us, Mister. Now we can finally be away home.

(*): I reckon we can get oot o' here if we jump off near the top o' the tur.

There's no response. The soldier has already taken his last breath.

Ragnar recalls the words of his comrade in arms.

(*): Somewhere in the world, the Lord o' the Underworld is reawakenin'.

(*): But if whit the monsters say is true, there's also a hero somewhere oot there who'll be able tae take him on.

(*): If they find him while he's still a bairn, he willnae be strong enough tae defend himself.

(*): That's whit they're plottin'! So ye must protect our kiddies, Ragnar. Dinnae let them come tae any harm!

(*): Hm, so that's whit they're up to. We'll see aboot that!

(*): I'll gae on ahead an' report back tae King Burnard aboot this hero an' the Lord o' the Underworld.

(*): Ye just concentrate on gettin' those bairns back wi' their folks.

(*): Ma! I'm back! I'm back!

(*): I was sure they were still alive. Thank the Goddess I was right.

(*): D'ye remember me? We spoke back at Burland Castle, an' I asked ye tae find oor bairns for us.

(*): Jings! So the poor wee bairns were aboot tae become a monster's supper!

(*): Och, we cannae thank ye enough for savin' them like that.

(*): I dinnae hae a clue hoo tae thank ye enough. Ye should be proud o' yerself.

(*): Ye're a true soldier if ever there was one, Ragnar McRyan. Keep up the good work!

(*): Thanks for savin' ma big brother, Mister.

(*): Oh, McRyan! I didnae realise ye were such a fighter. King Burnard'll be thrilled.

(*): Woohoo!

(*): This is the fella, ma! This is the one who saved me. That's right, eh, Mister?

(*): That fella who was in jail here got taken off to Burland by his missus.

(*): He said tae pass on his regards tae ye, soldier.

(*): Na na na na naaah! Ye cannae catch me, ye cannae catch me!

(*): Wait! Just wait, will ye!? Jings! Can someone no stop that lass from footerin' aboot!?

(*): Hey! Is it true aboot some kind of underworld thing comin' back tae life? I dinnae like the sound o' that.

(*): Ye're really strong!

(*): I'm gonna be a soldier just like ye when I grow up.

(*): Now I can finally stop worryin' an' get back tae teachin' the wee kiddies again. Thanks for yer help, soldier.

(Character) examines the wall.

There are pictures drawn by the children hanging on it.

(*): Sorry? Oor bairn's back, ye say!? Och, that's wonderful news!

(*): I'm a travelling nun. I journey around the world to spread word of the Goddess.

(*): Praise be! The missing children have been delivered back into safety. She is truly a merciful mistress.

(*): That fella I caught stealin' got taken off by his wife back tae Burland. Ay, she was a bonnie one, that lass.

(*): Meow.

(*): My name's Healie. (slurp) I'm still just a healslime at the moment, but I'm going to become a human one day.

Healie: Hey! Maybe I'll become human if I start hanging out with humans! Can I tag along with you?

Healie: (slurp) Yippee! Thanks, soldier!

Healie joins Ragnar!

Healie: Ohhh! I was really hoping you'd say yes. Well, if you ever change your mind, then come back here. I'll be waiting...and slurping.

Healie: Don't forget, okay?

(*): Ye rescued the bairns already!? Och, well I never!

(*): If only I was a few years younger, I could hae tagged along wi' ye. More's the pity.

(*): Nice work, Ragnar! I heard aboot ye rescuin' those kiddies. I dinnae suppose I can ask a favour?

(*): Can ye tell people that I was the one who saved them? Talk me up a bit, ye ken?

(*): Ha ha ha! I'm only jestin' wi' ye! Ye're a good man, Ragnar McRyan.

(*): Och, it's ye! Ye're the soldier who sorted things oot up in Strathbaile.

(*): Angus is home at last, an' the wee bairns are safe an' soond too. Where would we be without ye?

(*): We're ever so grateful tae ye for puttin' those monsters tae rights. Now we can finally relax again.

Aigneas: It's thanks tae ye that I've got ma hubbie back at home again. I really owe ye.

Angus: Y'all right there, soldier? It's me, Angus. Thanks again for helpin' me oot afore.

(*): I've heard rumours aboot ye. That ye saved some kiddies from bein' eaten by monsters.

(*): Or is that no quite hoo it went?

(*): Ragnar! Hae ye heard o' this thing called battle records?

(*): Apparently, ye can use it tae check on hoo yer fightin' is gaein'.

(*): Ach! Here for a wee bit o' shoppin', are ye? Then maybe ye could away ootside an' 'round tae the counter if it's no too much trouble.

(*): All's well that ends well. We parents are breathin' a big sigh o' relief, I can tell ye.

(*): Yippee! We're allood tae gae ootside an' play again the morra!

(*): Ye did well oot there, Ragnar!

(*): King Burnard's been dyin' tae see ye an' hear everythin' that happened from the horse's mooth.

(*): On ye gae.

(*): King Burnard's waitin' for ye.

King Burnard: Ah, McRyan! It's good tae see ye back.

King Burnard: But ye should get those wee bairns back tae their mothers in Strathbaile.

King Burnard: Then we can hae a good auld gab aboot everythin' ye've been up tae. Away wi' ye!

King Burnard: Ah, McRyan! It's good tae see ye back. I've been lookin' forward tae it.

King Burnard: Ye really excelled yerself oot there. The parents of Strathbaile are thrilled.

King Burnard: I'm proud tae hae a soldier like ye among ma guards.

King Burnard: Now, ye deserve a reward! Whit would ye like? I'll gie ye anythin' ye ask for.

King Burnard: Sorry? Ye want tae gae off travellin', ye say?

Ragnar: ...

King Burnard: So that ye can find the child hero an' keep him safe from harm...?

King Burnard: Och, if that's whit ye want, then who am I tae stop ye!?

King Burnard: Here's a wee gaein' away pressie for ye, then!

The King bequeaths experience points to Ragnar.

King Burnard: Mind hoo ye gae, McRyan.

And so Ragnar McRyan set off on his journey to find the child hero...
