The Strongbox
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 31502
|
The path along which Velus led them to the strongbox was rather
long and twisty, as he wanted to make sure they weren't noticed and
thus took them through narrow and inconvenient tunnels that almost
no one used. They reached the chamber with the nearest strongbox
fairly quickly, apart from being attacked by a few cave scavengers and
blindfish.
Eventually, they found the room with the strongbox. It was being guarded by a pungent squadron of Orcs, all of which were in a stupor. "I suppose that box is what the key opens," said Astra. "We don't have much experience with Orcs in Aqualaria, though. They can't handle hot and humid climates very well. Do you think they'll wake up if we try to get past them." "Not likely," said Fred. "Orcs are very heavy sleepers. And anyway, look at those beer glasses. Those Orcs are drunk on Hammerskull. They'll probably be out for a day. Getting past them shouldn't be too hard." "I'm not sure," responded Astra. "The Dragon is very subtle. He probably has other kinds of safeguards in the room."
