Jenny
“Saashi! Saashi! We’ve got a question!
Saashi
“Oh? What is it about?
Jenny
“The cave we found in Mabel Mountain before did not teleport back with the mountain. Wasn’t you that told us to seal it?”
Saashi
“Yes, it is unstable. I’m not sure what will happen. Don’t approach it until there is a method to teleport that cave back…… You did something on it, didn’t you?!”
Jenny
“What are you talking about? How can we touch something we are not familiar with?”
Saashi
“That’s good. There won’t have any problems as long as you didn’t touch anything.”
Jenny
“Um…… We…… we just took something up for the scientific investigation……”
Saashi
“So you guys got in anyway!!”
Jenny
“It’s not important! The important thing is……where the dragon is hiding.”
Saashi
“Dragons don’t like this place, they like to live on the mountain tops but not in a cave……”
Jenny
“What’s the matter with this dragon that’s willing to follow us back and that bunch of green monsters chasing us?”
Saashi
“??? You have made Saashi confused.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“!!!! Ow-wooo!!!!”
Saashi
“Hold on! What you say? You mean you escaped here? There are many goblins in the caves? O my great Marcel and Secunda! Surprised that there is actually a dragon that can communicate with Khajiit!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“!!!! Ow-wooo!!!!”
Saashi
“You mean you want to go back over there? What a coincidence that Khajiit wanted the same thing.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“!!!! Ow-wooo!!!!”
Saashi
“What?! Are you saying you’ve seen magic signs in the caves? There may also be a teleportation portal! Go! Go to the caves and find a method back home!”
Saashi
“Never thought a Khajiit could fight together with a dragon!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!”
Saashi
“Where is this place, you ask? Hard to explain…Just remember, you’re not from this place. Of course, we will investigate as mucha s possible in order to send you back. Khajiit has to find a way to go back anyway.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo!”
Saashi
“Whoa! Isn’t that a goblin?! Why is there a goblin here?! Help me!”
Saashi
“Odd, why are there kobolds here? Is it because we didn’t clean up the previous monsters? But where exactly are there goblins hiding? Mount Mabel is not suitable for them to survive. Lucky that they left footprints. We could follow and see what went wrong. If it’s some inexplicable teleportation array again, Saashi should be able to return to the Tamriel continent! Now I feel like the goblins over there are cuter than the ghouls here.”
Saashi
“Whoa! I am surprised there are actually so many goblins here! So they came out from this cave! Could it be that they have been hiding in the cave so we didn’t notice them before? It could be that these idiots didn’t listen to me and continued digging for treasure, which gave the goblins the chance to come out!”
Goblin
“Squeak squeak squeak!!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!!”
Saashi
“What?! You said there were a lot of them? Well, let’s see how many they are.”
Saashi
“Whoa! Didn’t realize they all had camped on the ground with so many goblins and irradiated creatures!! We shouldn’t have ventured in. Shh, keep your voice down! Don’t wake them up! Let’s find an exit and leave.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-Hoo!!”
Goblin
“Squeak squeak!! Squeak squeak!!”
Saashi
“…… Is the dragon simple-minded like the goblins?”
Saashi
“Yes, we finally made it out of the goblin location… Alas! Hold on a second! There’s an odd light over there! I can feel magic coming out of it! Time is short, but we must explore the places with magic!”
Saashi
“Goblins guarding here? Do they even understand the concept of guarding something? Why is it so important?”
Saashi
“It has some powerful magic! I can even feel it from here! It is supposed to be the ancient dragon clan magic, which might help enhance our power!”
Saashi
“It is… such a powerful goblin… This is definitely not an ability a goblin should have. What’s the heck wrong with this goblin… Wait, there’s a tablet here? There is a strange symbol and some magic remnants on it. Goblins are not supposed to know magic. What the heck is going on here?”
Saashi
“Saashi has warned you before that this cave is unstable, yet you simply did not listen! How much did you dig up!?!?”
Dave
“It’s a misunderstanding. All dwellers of the Republic of Dave can testify that it was not us that found these green monsters!”
Nate
Saashi, you mean that after we teleported the mountain away, there was another teleportation array down there?”
Saashi
“Saashi was not sure before we went down, but it is possible that they were hidden underground before. Therefore, we must investigate and not let these monsters run rampant in our world.”
Nate
“I guess these little guys are not that dangerous to Mount Mabel as this dragon is. I’d like to investigate where they came from.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“? (Head tilted)”
Saashi
“It was hatched from the dragon egg that was left in here before and just escaped from the goblins.”
Nate
“Well…do you have an idea how to send it back?”
Saashi
“Not for now, but I will come up with one if indeed these goblins were teleported here.
Nate
“Fingers crossed, I don’t want to fight a dragon again.”
Saashi
“What’s this? Is this the goblin’s vault of treasures and weapons? Well, it looks like the goblins don’t need them, either. But don’t sabotage it too hard! Put that bomb down!”
Companion
Wow, that’s quite a bunch of these little green monsters, I’m wondering how large their nest was.”
Saashi
“Therefore, it is more difficult to deal with these goblins than a dragon, it will be difficult to wipe them all out.”
Companion
“From my understnading it would be the same as dealing with irradiated radroaches.”
Saashi
“Alright, I’ll feel the scent of magic next. The humans and dragons are all yours. Odd, since goblins can’t use the magic… why has there been a scent of magic all over the place… many goblins have left traces of magic…”
Companion
“Saashi, how long do you think it takes for a dragon to grow up?”
Saashi
“No idea, but it should take a long time.”
Companion
“Is it an illusion that the dragon in front of me is getting bigger?”
Saashi
“!! Seems not!”
Companion
“Are you sure it understands you and won’t betray us?”
Saashi
“No worries, human! The dragon is intelligent. It understands we are on the same side, as it wants to return to Tamriel.”
Companion
“That’s great…”
Saashi
“The dragon’s power should be getting stronger as it grows… But this land is barren of magic, we can’t help it become more powerful. Well… The magic scent in the goblin cave is worht exploring. Many goblins were strengthened by the magic. If we can find the magic to make this dragon stronger, it will surely be our most powerful ally.”
Saashi
“What’s in these goblins? What’s this? Metal seals? There is magic flowing through it!”
Companion
“Do you feel something?”
Saashi
“There is a strong magical breath which is different from all the previous ones. We have to check out this fork in the road, perhaps the magical tablets we found that can strengthen the goblins should be used together with the seal!!!”
Companion
“I didn’t expect you to have such a good sense of smell, like a cat.”
Saashi
“Khajiit is not a cat… If Khajiit’s correct, then this metal seal should be used together with the magic tablet. It’s like that, the magic tablet is a kettle, the metal engraving is a cup, you need to pour the water from the kettle into the cup before drinking it. It is strange, yet it can strengthen the goblins…… If it can strengthen the goblins, it may also strengthen our dragons. There is a magic sign at the end of this path, so there might be a magic tablet we need. We need a magic tablet to test it out, it would be great if we can strengthen our dragon.”
Saashi
“We’ve got a lot of goblins here, too. They look even bigger than the ones outside… The magic scent here is familiar to me. It reminds of the magic remaining on teh tablet that was found earlier. Stay alert, everyone! There may be some powerful goblins here!”
Companion
“Whoa! Surprised that there is yet another place here. Will the powerful goblin you mentioned before be here?”
Saashi
“Maybe. My notes can feel the magic getting closer.”
Companion
“What kind of goblins lives in this large place? And it’s obviously not a cave dug by the goblins!”
Saashi
“Agreed. This is not the place the goblins can create, maybe they captured it?”
Companion 1
“I’m not sure about the creatures in your world. Let’s destroy them anyway.”
Saashi
“Watch out! Those goblins that are enhanced by magic are very difficult to deal with!”
Companion
“No powerful goblins at all.”
Saashi
“They’ve been enhanced already. Normal goblins won’t have these abilities.”
Companion
“Do you mean the strange pattern on this tablet is the magic that enhances the goblins?”
Saashi
“It should be. There has never been such magic in Khajiit’s records. Since it enhanced goblins, it can enhance the dragons as well. We’re still missing something that can match the pattern. Perhaps we can find it on the goblins.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo?”
Saashi
“As expected! These magic tablets are the source of the goblin’s great power! They must work for our dragon though we don’t where they came from!”
Companion
“How is your experiment? Has the dragon become powerful?”
Saashi
“Give it some time.. The magic has taken into effect.”
Companion
“Well, unfortunately, we don’t have much time. The goblins were furious at us for stealing the seal and now they have surrounded us.”
Saashi
“You have any ideas?”
Companion
“Simple, get the rope and run. Leave the dragon alone, it will fly away!”
Saashi
“Oh! Damn! I lost my notes when escaping!”
Companion
“Is it important?!”
Saashi
“Absolutely! I’ve recorded many magic and clues about them in that notebook.”
Companion
“Well, let’s go back to retrieve it if that’s the case. We may also find some helpful magic for the dragon.”
Companion
“Looks like our dragon has adapted to the magic.”
Saashi
“Yes, it’s helpful, although we don’t know where the magic originates from yet.”
Companion
“Okay then, let’s go back to the goblins to look into it. there is another task, find the origin of the goblin’s magic.”
Companion
“Now that we’re right in here with the goblins, there might be some clues.”
Saashi
“But for now, there is no difference between here and the outside.”
Companion
“We cant expect to figure out everything very quickly either.”
Companion
“The farther we go, the more difficult the monsters are to deal with. Luckily, our dragon friend is getting stronger.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo!”
Saashi
“It’s flattered.”
Companion
“It doesn’t seem like that the dragon is that difficult to get along with. I’m starting to think it’s similar to being with a dog.”
Saashi
“Not really, this dragon is different from the normal ones which are not intelligent.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!!”
Saashi
“The scent of magic again. There must be more tablets here that can strengthen the dragon!”
Saashi
“Ok. As we know how to deal with them, let’s get into the goblin cave, finish off the goblin defenders and take the stone tablets that will enhance our dragon. I’ll follow the notes and find the signs of magic. Let’s go!”
Saashi
“Why is there no path ahead? Is it underground water?”
Companion
“Do goblins breathe? Any chance they came from underwater?
Saashi
“Or they did it on purpose to draw water over to protect their cave.”
Companion
“Not sure if they have such wisdom…”
Saashi
“Well, the dragon should also be able to swim. Let’s dive down to look into it.”
Saashi
“Oh! Another seal that fits with the tablet. Then we can reinforce the dragon twice in a row!”
Saashi
“Whoa! Didn’t expect there would be a hidden world underwater.”
Companion
“This obviously is not what Mount Mabel was orignally. The teleportation array did not transport this place away.”
Saashi
“Find the teleportation array, then we will be able to send both this place and us back.”
Companion
“Oh, I’m a little sad to part with you guys.”
Saashi
“That scent of magic again. We can strengthen the dragon again here! Same old way, let’s search around.”
Saashi
“These magic tablets are really strange. The magic of the Nords is all in the words, it seems it is all a pattern. Moreover, this is only a record of the magic, the seal needs to be engraved on the body to take effect. A lot of the goblins have been enhanced. Why would he do that? This is no ancient magic for sure. It was created. Could it be that this mage teleported the goblins here?”
Saashi
“Whether above or below ground, many of the goblins have the signs of magic on them. They used to be small creatures and are now bigger because of the magic. This magic is not natural. We haven’t found any magical goblins in our path, so it must be a mage that brought them here.”
Companion
“Could it be that they didn’t teleport away in the first place?”
Saashi
“Even if they had been hiding here, they would not have just suddenly mastered magic. Either they were teleported here or someone else has teleported here. Anyway, there must be a teleportation array, maybe our dragon was teleported by him, too!”
Saashi
“It seems that the further we advance, the more powerful the goblins are. Look, there’s blood on the ground.”
Companion
“Whose blood is it? Goblin blood?”
Saashi
“No, this is… dragon blood?”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!!!”
Saashi
“You mean you escaped from here? I see. Let’s move to the deepest location. Where you were held at the beginning. The enemies ahead must be more dangerous. We’d better find all the tablets to be safe.”
Saashi
“Exactly! Right here, this is a hidden cave. Regardless of who left the tablets, it seemed he was experimenting with the goblins to test whether the tablets worked. Looks like he made it.”
Goblin
“Squeak squeak! !Dragon! Squeak squeak!!”
Companion
“Did they just talk!!”
Saashi
“Huh?! No way, absolutely impossible! Goblins can’t talk!”
Goblin
“Dragon! Escape! Catch!”
Companion
“The goblins are saying that… they used to hold the dragon captive?”
Saashi
“Can’t be! Creatures like goblins can’t even deal with teh smallest of dragons! There must be something more powerful behind it! The mage who did all these things is definitely a demon! Regardless of what’s behind it, it’s certainly a problem for the world! Let’s stop him!”
Saashi
“This place is indeed different, the other caves were dug out, but this one is flat inside, it can’t be the goblins that made it. There must be plenty of powerful goblins here, so be careful!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!”
Saashi
“Well, be careful even though you’re strong now.”
Companion
“Shhh! There are a lot of goblins ahead! Plus it is very dark inside!”
Saashi
“Well…There’s a chance we can defeat them…”
Companion
“It’s dangerous. We’re not like the goblins, use your brain!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo!”
Saashi
“Shhh! Fine, let’s move very cautiously, keep away from them as much as you can!”
Saashi
“Phew! Finally, it’s safe. The goblins and trolls here are much crazier. Look! There were signs of a campfire here, neither goblins nor trolls need campfires, so it must have been a mage who came this way! So the facts is, there’s a mage here experimenting with goblins, its ultimate target might be our dragon! The dragon itself is powerful. It’ll be more powerful if enhanced with various magic. But he didn’t expect hte dragon to escape, so he might have teleported back in search of new prey! Then there must be a teleportation array! We are all going home!”
Saashi
“Finish them off! Find the teleportation array!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!!!”
Companion
“These guys looked even more excited when they heard they were going home… Nevertheless… if I can also go home to see my family… I’ll be more excited than they are, I guess.
Saashi
“There are a lot of tablets scattered around. The mage who studied this must have done a lot of experiments. Maybe we can also find something helpful.”
Companion
“This mage made something really helpful. Saashi, how come you did not invent any magic?”
Saashi
“It is blasphemy to invent magic indiscriminately! How could the Khajiit have done this! He should be a scholar that protects the ancient wisdom.”
Companion
“Is it hard to admit that you are not as good as others?”
Saashi
“…That makes me sick, human!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo!”
Saashi
“That’s it, the seal! Stand still! After them!”
Saashi
“The scent of magic is getting stronger, we are getting closer to the target. Defeat these enemies. Maybe we’ll find a few more tablets.”
Companion
“Why is this guy carving magic into the tablet!”
Saashi
“Anything wrong with the tablet?”
Companion
“It’s too heavy!”
Saashi
“Watch out there is a trap.”
Companion
“What trap?”
Saashi
“There is magic scattered all around that can affect the mind. You humans will be affected since you don’t know magic.”
Companion
“How, how can I deal with it?”
Saashi
“There is no choice but to get out of here as soon as possible. It seems we are getting closer to destination.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo!”
Companion
“Whew, it’s safe now, I had a feeling like I was seeing a lot of strange things. We have come so far yet haven’t found any trace of him. Does the mage you mentioned really exist?”
Saashi
“He may not be here, but everything here is a clue that he left behind! Even if he’s not here, the teleportation array must be!”
Saashi
“The innermost are should where his lair is located. Check out all the monsters out there. Don’t startle them, if the mage is there, our fight will alert him to us.”
Companion
“I still have plenty of ropes. Let’s sneak in!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo..”
Companion
“Shhh!!”
Saashi
“There should be another tablet nearby.”
Companion
“Shall we take it?!”
Saashi
“Better to check it out. Just in case.”
Saashi
“Stop it! You evil mage! Khajiit has found all the tablets you have made!”
Frost Golem:
“Hoo-hoo!”
Companion
“It’s, it’s not quite the same as what you described!”
Saashi
“This… is the Frost Giant! It’s a summoned golem!”
Companion
“So?”
Saashi
“So he must have been here, but got away. This is the bodyguard he summoned!”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Hoo-hoo!!!”
Frost Golem:
“Dragon… Discover! Catch! Catch!”
Saashi
“Whoop… whoop… He is definitely a powerful mage, the frost giant was pretty strong.”
Companion
“That was quite a challenge. Is that pile of rocks the array you were looking for?”
Saashi
“That’s it…… Bah!! It’s damaged! There’s no magic at all!!”
Companion
“Ah… Then it appears that there must be another dragon in the vault.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Owow”
Saashi
“Ok, just one more question…”
Companion
“What is it?”
Saashi
“Was the magic array destroyed after the mage teleported away, or was it destroyed when the dragon fled?”
Companion
“Does it matter?”
Saashi
“Of course! It’s fine if he has left… But what if he hasn’t?”
Companion
“He will destroy the world when he can!”
Saashi
“Khajiit’s disappointed! Didn’t expect this teleportation portal was not available! Does that mean we have to continue living here again? Yes, we have to.”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo! Hoo-hoo!!”
Saashi
“What is that? You have restored your memory?! You saw a lot of ghouls and a black-robed wizard? Did he imprison you here?! Geez! Where did the ghouls come from? Could it be that the original mistake led to the teleportation of more than just Mount Mabel?”
Ancient Fire Dragon
“Ow-wooo!!”
Saashi
“How come you broke the crags…… Wait, it’s acutally…… a grave?! Geez, so many of graves, what a spectacle ever! This is a pattern that has never been seen before. Is it some civilization that Khajiit never knew about? Hold on! This grave is actually open! Saashi has to return to the base and tell everyone about it! A large group of ghouls and a wizard escaped!”
