"Oh, Pokey, we need to get out of this swamp before we both get eaten!"
"Mike... I hope you're alright!"
"The crystal - the lost piece of the Sardak crystal that Urr gave me - I figured out how to use it, but I was captured by the guards and one of their captains got his scaly hands on it."
"But how will you convince the Princess to aid you in finding the crystal?"
"Do you find me appealing, primate?"
"Wait a second, that's my knife!"
"Do not be concerned... my esteemed Princess. We will dispose of this vermin."
"I hope you know where you're going, Pokey-"
[nearby sound of thunder]
"I REALLY hope it doesn't start raining. That's the last thing we need. If this flare gun didn't already get wet, that'll do the trick."
"HENK."
"That lightning's getting pretty close. Let's keep count and see how far away it is. Oh, there's a close one! Alright, let's see now... one... two..."
"...thr-"
[thunderclap noise]
"-Eeeeeee!"

Punch him in the face.
"Eeeee! Get away!"
"A stray primate - and what an unusual pelt! This one will fetch a tidy sum at the slave market!"
"Eeee! Put me down! I am not a sack of potatoes... or whatever it is you Sardaks eat! Put me down! Help!"

Pokey turns around and accidentally hits the Sardak with his tail.
"You can't treat a woman like this! I have rights!"
"You are a female? I could not tell..."
"Could not t- believe me, buster, men... HUMAN men... can tell I'm a woman! Where I come from, men are always asking me out on dates!"
"Disgusting primates, always rutting and breeding like vermin!"
"That's not- I'm not that kind of girl!"
"HENK."

"Unngh..."
"Ugly brute! If you have cost me that strange primate I will have a mind to take a sword and-"
"Unngh-!"
"No sign of him... and there's no way he could follow me through those streams. Looks like I'm in the clear... and those storm clouds are starting to break up!"
"But I'm not out of the woods yet... or the swamp, anyway..."
"If only I could see a landmark, or at least a familiar trail... wait, what's that beyond the treeline-"

Carefully.
"Like they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained... and I'll take whatever I can gain right now."
"There... it's just ahead..."
"Looks like it's in that clearing... doesn't look like there's anyone around. Probably safe to move in for a closer-"
"-look?"
"What in the world- these structures are just like the ones in the Warrior People's sacred place..."
"There wasn't one of these, though..."

"Hello."

Nice job making me hooked on wondering what the fuck the story is here. And thanks for running, as always.
"Unnngh..."
"I wish the Sardaks had invented tranquilizer darts..."
"Unnhgh... looks like you're back in the slammer, Adams... I wonder if they'll give me a last meal before I meet their 'Sardak Champion'..."
"Solid rock... a man would need a jackhammer to-"

"Primate!"

Demand to be released
"Forget the visitor, I demand to be released! You slimy lizards can't get away with this!"
"You need to learn some respect, scum! Our whips will show you the proper way to address your appointed guards!"
"Leave us."
"But-"
"I said to leave us."
"That voice-"
"Yes, primate..."
"Lylyth!"
"I wanted to thank you, Primate..."
"Thank me? Lylyth, you need to help me escape from this place somehow-"
"No, primate, there will be no escape for you. You will die beneath the blade of the Sardak Champion, as all primates before you have done, and I will use your crystal to gain power over my father the Emperor, and rise above my fated role."
"Lylyth, you traitorous-! When I get my hands on you-!"
"Goodbye, primate. I found your company... amusing."
"I hope I will find your death equally so."
That's it for now, but I'll be back in about eight or ten hours and we can keep playing!
This last scene took a lot longer than I wanted because I shot the whole thing and then realized that Lylyth had a big wad of sticky-tack on her face in every shot...

"Oh, hush up, you! I should leave you out here for Big-Teeth to find!"
