Story#

Galam Dungeon#

The crew (sans Bowie) wake up in prison. They're accompanied by political prisoners who say they went against King Galam, who wants information on Ground Seal.

April Script

I heard King Galam
said the word.

Final Script

I heard King Galam say
those words.

Bowie wakes up.

April Script

........!!

Final Script

(Yawn)

Bowie joins the group in talking about the broken seal of the Ancient Tower. In the next cell, the notorious thief Slade comes to. He tries to assess what's happened to him.

April Script

They took my jewel and
brought me here!

Final Script

They took my jewels and
brought me here!

''Slade tries to move, but he's exhausted and falls over. Sarah thinks that King Galam is interested in the sealed door of the Ancient Tower. Kazin says that he might want the jewels.

April Script

Everything is owed to the
man who has broken
the seal!

Final Script

The man that broke the seal
is to blame for everything!

Slade slowly realizes what he just caused. The guard in his room asks if he knows anything.

April Script

Huh....

Final Script

Uhh...nope!

Sarah wonders what they can even do in the cell, and Slade says that, being a thief, he can unlock the doors. Kind of an oversight from the Galam guards.
Sarah wonders why Slade is being so nice to them, interrogating Slade, and finding out that he broke the seal.

April Script

A big problem has occurred
because you stole jewels!

Final Script

A big problem was created
because you stole the
jewels!

Sarah says that everything is Slade's fault. Poor Slade says he didn't mean to, and the crew attempts to go up the stairs before being stopped by the rodent thief.
He shows them a secret exit underneath the cell and they make their exit. He says he didn't know that stealing the jewels would cause all this, and decides to join the force.

Galam Castle#

Slade and Bowie pass above the castle's grand hall, where King Galam is making a speech to the Galam forces.

April Script

As you may know, my
errand died after he
returned!
It must be an artifact
of Granseal.
And we're invading them
to retaliate!

June Script

As you may know, my
messenger was killed!
Granseal must have done
this.
So we're invading them
to retaliate!

Final Script

As you may know, my
messenger was killed!
Granseal must have done
this.
So we're invading them to
retaliate!

April Script

Hum...hum...
Ah...hum...

Final Script

Murmur...murmur....

Lemon tells the soldiers to shut up and listen to the King, even though he doesn't fully understand why King Galam wants to go to Granseal.

April Script

King Galem, you'll
wake up soon...

Final Script

King Galam, victory is
ours!

Translation Notes
A pretty big change in Lemon's intent here, from resigning in his loyalty to the King, to actively going along with it.

King Galam asks Lemon to show his allegiance. Lemon asks how he can do that.

April Script

Lead the army!

Final Script

Show no mercy!

Translation Notes
King Galam is more obviously evil in the final English script.

King Galam addresses the army just before they march off.

April Script

To Granseal!

Final Script

Crush Granseal!

Translation Notes
More malicious comments from the King.

Slade asks if Bowie is still going to Granseal, and quickly regrets his decision to follow.

April Script

I don't go with you once
I'm outside the gate!

Final Script

I will leave you once I'm
outside the gate!

Bowie & Slade head into the main hall...where they're quickly spotted by a soldier.

April Script

How did you get in?

Final Script

How did you get out?

Slade, hoping that stammering will get him out of this, hems and haws his mousey face off. In the hall proper, a Galam Archer asks a Galam Knight where he got his shiny new present. King Galam gave it to him for capturing Slade.

April Script

He was so kind to give
me one of the pair, the
jewel of the light!

Final Script

He was so kind to give me
one of the pair, the Jewel
of Light!

Slade looks over to the Galam Knight, forgetting that the Gamal Soldier is still in the room.

April Script

Where did you come from?

Final Script

How did you escape?

The Galam Soldier alerts the rest of the remaining Galam forces, who decide to close in on the group.

This proves to be a mistake.
