Carver: Well, we're here. Time to get down to brass tacks 'n everything like that.

Milly: Let's keep moving – don't let your guard down.

Ashlynn: Let's hurry before he chickens out again!

Nevan: You may rest assured that the Prince is still with us.

Amos: We can at least get further than we did last time!

Carver: Crikey. This cave just got a whole lot bigger, aye.

Milly: These scattered shafts of light are rather pretty.

Ashlynn: Hey, where's the Prince!?

Ashlynn: ...Oh. There he is. Whew.

Nevan: Take care not to tread on any stalagmites.

Amos: ...URGH!

Amos: ...Er, sorry about that. A drip just went down my back...

Carver: For such a big cave, there ain't that many paths, aye?

Milly: I wonder how big this cave could be?

Ashlynn: Wow. More monsters than I thought...

Ashlynn: Those soldiers who tried to escort the Prince before sure must've had a rough time.

Nevan: Let's proceed with caution and take care not to expend any energy unnecessarily.

Amos: Slow and steady wins the race! If you go rushin' around, old Amos will get lost.

Carver: That test was a whole different beast from the other monsters here, aye?

Carver: Crikey, what a handful...

Carver: Avast! He's gone again!

Milly: I wonder how long that monster had been standing there waiting?

Milly: We lost the Prince again? Well that was careless... Let's go and look for him.

Ashlynn: We must be tested, huh? I wonder how many more of these tests are waiting for us.

Ashlynn: Oh, brother! He ran off again!?

Nevan: I now see why Prince Howard was so fearful of the tests awaiting him.

Nevan: While we were busy fighting, it appears the Prince scampered away.

Amos: Old Amos doesn't remember much about that last fight except the monster was a toughie.

Amos: It's like I was all befuddled or somethin'.

Amos: He's gone!? He's not run back to Howsworth, has he!?

Carver: Aye, well... Let's get him.

Milly: He can't have gone too far.

Ashlynn: That's it! When we find him, I'm spanking his royal rear!

Nevan: Even during combat, Prince Howard shouldn't be let out of our sight.

Amos: We need to put the lad on a leash, I tell you!

Carver: I'd give a hundred gold coins if he'd shut his trap.

Milly: Let's take a deep breath and move on.

Ashlynn: Look at the bright side – at least he stayed in the cave this time.

Nevan: But for the grace of the Goddess, the Prince would have been stranded here all alone.

Amos: Prince Howard only looks lively when he's escapin'!

Carver: I reckon there's no test here – just a whole lotta monsters. Watch your back.

Milly: Let's push on deeper into the cave.

Ashlynn: Watching the Prince is making it hard to focus on the monsters. My nerves are shot!

Nevan: This has become quite a long and winding path.

Amos: Prince Howard, if you want to hold hands with old Amos, it's no bother.

Prince Howard: The thought of it! I am not a child and will not be treated as such!

Amos: ......

Carver: Dead end, aye?

Milly: Only Howcastle royalty can pass through there, it seems.

Ashlynn: No Prince Howard, no entry, huh?

Nevan: Seems we have no choice for now but to retrace our footsteps.

Amos: I wonder how they can tell we're not royal folk.

Carver: The Prince is good for something, aye?

Milly: Onwards we go!

Ashlynn: Guess we still have a long haul ahead of us...

Nevan: From monsters administering tests to that curious door, Hallowed Hollow is a mysterious place indeed.

Amos: How does all this work!? It's over old Amos's head!

Carver: Huh. Just some stairs, aye?

Milly: Let's go down.

Ashlynn: Nowhere to go but down.

Nevan: I sense there is still much that awaits us below.

Amos: Let's head on down!

Carver: Blimey! This is even bigger than the last level, ain't it?

Ashlynn: I hope we don't have to face any more of those “tests”.

Carver: The Prince still with us...?

Carver: ...He is. Good.

Milly: Just walking around without getting lost is a chore.

Ashlynn: My eyes are finally adjusting to the darkness in here.

Nevan: We should be ready to retrace our steps should we take the wrong path.

Nevan: I sense there are monsters here – and we're getting closer to them.

Amos: ...ARGH!

Amos: ...Er, sorry about that. Old Amos nearly slipped and fell on his behind.

Carver: Well, that's that for test number two.

Carver: Geh! Not again!

Milly: Onwards we go!

Milly: What? The Prince? How utterly careless of us... Let's go back and look for him.

Ashlynn: Wow! The second test monster just up and vanished! And speaking of vanish...

Ashlynn: Arrrgh! We lost him again! This is a bigger headache than those stupid tests!

Nevan: The path has opened up before us.<br>
On we go!

Nevan: If the Prince should slip away again as we fight,

I shall near the end of my tether.

Nevan: But at least he should not be far away, based on our prior experience.

Amos: That monster looked hard – and sure enough, it was!

Amos: Lucky we're second to none in the fightin' stakes!

Carver: If I were a spoilt Prince, where would I be?

Milly: Maybe he's hiding behind something nearby.

Ashlynn: How does he keep giving us the slip? We need to put that Prince on a leash!

Nevan: It is possible that he has escaped the cave altogether.

Amos: It'd take guts to get all the way out of the cave by himself, so old Amos is guessin' he's close by.

Carver: Hardy har! He went from hatin' us to praisin' us.

Milly: Howard has promised us no more running off...

Milly: I must say, I do sense a change in him. I think he's ready to face his destiny.

Milly: I think we should trust him this time, Hero...

Ashlynn: You mean he never got this far?

Ashlynn: We're good! It's time to go all the way!

Nevan: Curious that he does not fear being left alone each time he flees...

Amos: That was some fine hidin' – even by Prince Howard's standards.

Carver: Who knows what's waitin' for us next.

Carver: Only one way to find out. Let's shove off!

Milly: No more escaping, eh...

Milly: There's something about his aura that makes me believe him...

Ashlynn: Whew... I am drained.

Nevan: We find ourselves on a long, winding path once again.

Amos: Prince Howard's still here! Old Amos is keepin' his eye on him...

Carver: No dice, aye?

Milly: Of course. Only Howcastle royalty can go through.

Ashlynn: Goddess forbid the Prince would stay with us for once. We wouldn't be in this predicament!

Nevan: I'm afraid we have no choice but to go back and locate Prince Howard.

Amos: If only old Amos had a few drops of the royal blood of Howcastle flowin' through his veins...

Carver: It's open! Let's move!

Milly: Come on, this way!

Ashlynn: Nothing's gonna stop us now. I gotta see why everyone was raving about this cave!

Nevan: Prince Howard seems to be speaking with a newfound authority.

Amos: ...YAAARGH!

Amos: ...Er, sorry about that. Old Amos just wanted to hear his voice echoin'!

Carver: Another lone staircase, aye?

Milly: Down we go!

Ashlynn: Not much choice here, huh?

Nevan: More daunting trials may well lay below.

Amos: Old Amos never did care much for tests... Hopefully we're through most of them now.

Carver: No turnin' back now, aye? We've gotta keep going.

Milly: I sense that we've yet to reach our goal.

Ashlynn: Oof... This cave will end, right? Eventually? 

Nevan: I still get a strong sense that there are monsters in the vicinity.

Amos: ...WAHOO!

Amos: ...Er, sorry about that. Old Amos was just tryin' out his new war cry!

Carver: Well, that's that for test number three!

Milly: There should be a set of doors ahead of us now.

Ashlynn: Tee hee! That was fun, right?

Nevan: P-Prince Howard...!? He's still here!<br>
Remarkable!

Amos: (wheeze) (pant) Don't mind old Amos...<br>
I just need a second to get my puff back... (gasp)

Carver: There we go!

Milly: Come on, Hero. Let's move on!

Ashlynn: Yeah, yeah, another door, another test! Let's keep going!

Nevan: Let us proceed!

Amos: Prince Howard is soundin' more like proper royalty by the second!

Carver: Whoa, have a look at this...

Milly: Can you hear the waterfall, Hero?

Ashlynn: Hey, somebody's here!

Nevan: I sense something different in the air here.

Nevan: It is unpolluted by the presence of monsters.

Amos: That looks a lot like a priest to old Amos.

Or is this another test?

Carver: I reckon it's over, aye?

Milly: Aww, didn't Howie behave nicely for his rite?

Ashlynn: Was...that it?

Nevan: The Prince is shivering. Let us make haste to Howcastle.

Amos: You could catch a cold just lookin' at the poor Prince! ...Ah-Ah-CHOO!!!

Carver: Aye! Time to deliver our sweet prince home!

Milly: I could sense the priest's relief at getting the rite over and done with.

Ashlynn: Wow. So that was the entire ceremony...? I mean, really?

Ashlynn: After all we went through to get here... Like, what a letdown.

Nevan: Let's escort Prince Howard back to his castle.

Amos: For a minute there, old Amos was worried that talkin' to that priest would start another battle!

Carver: It's been a long haul down a tough road, but we finally did it. Let's go, Hero!

Milly: I suppose that's the end of the rite.

Ashlynn: Oh, brother...

Nevan: It wasn't easy, but Prince Howard came through in the end.

Amos: The things royal folk put themselves through!<br>
I'm glad I'm just plain old Amos.

Carver: Whew, I'm whipped. I'd kill for a week or three at a fancy inn.

Carver: Take out the tests and this place is a pushover.

Milly: The cave has a completely different aura on the way out, doesn't it?

Ashlynn: The sooner we get Prince Howard back to the castle, the sooner I can get some peace in my life again.

Nevan: Now that Prince Howard has the Proof of Passage, all our trials seem worth the effort.

Amos: The royal rite of purification didn't half look cold!

Amos: I hope there's some dinner waitin' for us...

Amos: Has anyone got a towel? Prince Howard's drippin' all over the place.

Prince Howard: Hmph!

Carver: Hmm... Where is that Prince?

Milly: Where is that Prince...

Ashlynn: This prince is the king of rotten manners.

Nevan: The Prince's hide-and-seek skills are unparalleled.

Amos: Old Amos's main priority is not steppin' in anythin' squelchy, squidgy or squashy.

Carver: Huh. Maybe he ain't in this village after all, aye?

Milly: If the Prince isn't here, then he must still be somewhere in the cave...

Ashlynn: He's not here? Hmm...

Ashlynn: So he's either still in the cave or over in the castle. This is making me mental!

Nevan: Hmm... And I thought it highly likely that Prince Howard would come here...

Amos: Looks like we've not got a clue.

Carver: Aye, it'd do the Prince good to get a bit dirty – after gettin' purified 'n everything like that, of course.

Milly: The future king probably should know how his subjects live.

Ashlynn: I bet the Prince would bolt before he got within a hundred feet of those fields.

Nevan: Before he can consider a career in agriculture, we must locate him first.

Amos: This fellow's desperate for help on his farm.

Carver: I see where that lady's coming from, but rules are rules 'n everything like that.

Milly: Many villagers are quite fond of the Prince, aren't they?

Ashlynn: I can see why the King's giving the Prince a little push. Otherwise, he's the sort who would goof off from cradle to grave.

Nevan: Harsh though it may sound, Prince Howard has no choice but to fulfill his duty.

Nevan: With royal blood comes power, but also the burden of responsibility.

Amos: Prince Howard's made it perfectly clear that he's in no rush to fulfill his royal duty.

Carver: That kid should get in line. The Prince is busy playin' hide-'n-seek with us right now.

Milly: If he hasn't come here, I'd say it's unlikely that he's in Howcastle either.

Ashlynn: Seems like a good kid. If he'd seen the Prince, I'm sure he would've told us.

Nevan: So Prince Howard really isn't in Howsworth.

Amos: Well at least we know he's not back here playin' hide-and-seek with that lad.

Carver: Prince? You about?

Milly: We can't rest until we've searched every corner.

Ashlynn: I doubt he'd be in here – not with that lady eyeballing the entrance.

Nevan: No sign of him here...

Amos: Nothing princely round here.

Carver: He probably ain't here. It's too quiet.

Milly: Let's give this house a once over.

Ashlynn: It'd make my day if he was in here, so of course he isn't.

Nevan: The old gentleman seems to be awake.

Amos: Nope. No Prince here.

Carver: I'm rulin' this fella out. He ain't hidin' the Prince...

Carver: He wants him to go through that royal rite as much as we do.

Milly: Let's not ruin things for him by mentioning that the Prince has run off...again.

Ashlynn: That guy doesn't know the Prince very well, does he?

Nevan: I pray that Prince Howard can live up to the expectations of his people.

Amos: That old boy will have an extra spring in his step if Howard completes the royal rite.

Carver: This is where he hid last time, but...

Milly: Any sign of him?

Ashlynn: Doesn't look like anybody's here.

Nevan: No luck, it seems.

Amos: Looks like Howsworth is a prince-free zone.

Carver: This Prince could learn a thing or ten from the Prince of Somnia...

Carver: But I bet Prince Howard couldn't bear to be compared with a real prince, aye?

Milly: Prince Somnia... Hero's other self...

Milly: Searching for him is one of the reasons that we're on this quest in the first place...

Milly: But our priority right now is to find the prince of Howcastle.

Ashlynn: If Prince Howard was here to hear this, I bet he'd start bawling all over again!

Nevan: This gentleman seems to have a burning interest in the Prince of Somnia.

Amos: Seems there's been no visitin' princes at this address.

Carver: The real question is whether we can manage the Prince, aye?

Milly: This royal rite will remain a mystery to us unless we find the Prince.

Ashlynn: With a prince like Howard, no wonder people are worried.

Nevan: We of all people can certainly understand why the people are so anxious about their Prince.

Amos: If Howard's not man enough to do it, old Amos is happy to undergo the royal rite.

Amos: Then I'd get to be king! King Amos!

It's got quite a ring to it!

Carver: No way he'd be here...

Milly: I think we can forgo searching this house.

Ashlynn: Nope. No place to hide in here.

Nevan: As expected, there's no sign of him here.

Amos: He's not crept into any cracks in the wall, has he?

Carver: Hmm... This church's got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Milly: No sign of him in here. Onwards!

Ashlynn: Maybe we should pray for some divine help. Couldn't hurt.

Nevan: No sign of him here...

Amos: He's not hidin' behind the waterfall, is he?

Carver: We'll get that Prince purified sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

Milly: The Prince doesn't seem to have been in here either.

Ashlynn: Yes, but what happens when royal folk don't WANT to go in there!?

Nevan: I pray we'll get to delve deeper into Hallowed Hollow.

Amos: Sounds to me like there's been no sign of the Prince.
