First Arrival
Madame Adler: - Welcome.


 * I rule the roost in this village.

Russ: - Wow! What a view! I've never seen such a wide river.

Madame Adler: - The pesky grock infestation is getting steadily worse by the day.


 * So we've brought in even bigger guns for our towers.

Russ: - That sure is a big river, but I'm sure my copter can easily make it across!

Madame Adler: - Hey, mouse! Are you listening?


 * Don't think I wouldn't eat you just because you're working for me!


 * Are you here to take on the grocks, or are you just here to fool around?

Russ: - Eek! I'm just...


 * I'm sorry.

Madame Adler: - It's very dangerous around here, so pay attention!


 * To get to the other side, you will need some dynamite.


 * Use it to blow up the boulders blocking the crossings.


 * And watch out for the mud. It makes traveling a real chore.


 * That flying contraption might come in handy for getting around.


 * But this will be a tough fight, so don't mess around up there. Got it?!


 * Ah, yes. There's something i forgot...


 * An old dog wants to have a word with you two. Can you help him out?

''[The Colonel Buster appears with the Intro Quest. Now appears the option for take or not this mission. If select yes...]''

Madame Adler: - Thank you. I'll speak to you again soon.

[... if you refuse take this mission, you can view this answer.]

Madame Adler: - Just to be certain, are you sure you won't take the quest?

Advice message: - If you do not attempt this quest now, it will not be available again later.

[If you refuse the mission a second time...]

Madame Adler: - Oh well.


 * We'll have to try again some other time.

Prep Time
Russ: - The old biddy's a bit of a battle-ax, isn't she?


 * Well, I suppose squirrels and eagles don't usually get along...


 * We'll have to do what she says -- otherwise, I might end up on the menu!

[After 5 minutes in the plains.]

Russ: - Hey! Look at the sky...


 * The village will be locked during a raid.


 * If you've got bussiness in the village, do it now!

[After 6 minutes in the plains.]

Russ: - Watch out! The grocks starting a raid!

Free Time (Saloon) Day 1
[Select Gear if you can buy the new equipment.]

Sal: - Psst! Hey, ranger!


 * This is rather special. It's a bandana.



Madame Adler: - That was quite a surprise. I heard from Governor Cappy that you were good, but I never really expected you'd be that good.


 * I think at one point you were just playing to the gallery, am I right?

Russ: - Well, we just did our best. No funny business. We just got on with the job.

Madame Adler: - Anyway, you did well. I'm quite relieved that you came when you did.


 * I've been getting lots of disturbing reports, but if you carry on fighting like you did today, we should be flying high.


 * Get some rest, boys. I bid you good nighty-hooooo!

Russ: - That ol' bird sure can screech... She's more like an owl than an eagle!

Madame Adler: - WHAT?!


 * Did you say something?!

Russ: - Er... yes! Good night, ma'am!

Prep Time
Russ: - Morning, buddy.


 * Hey, do you think we've got enough cash with us?


 * Remember that after raid starts, you can't sell any more items in the village.


 * You might want to keep a bit of money around for working on towers during the fight.


 * Well, that's it for now. Let's get to work!

[After 5 minutes in the plains.]

Russ: - Did you hear that? It's almost time...


 * If you wanna go to the village, go now!

[After 6 minutes in the plains.]

Russ: - Watch out! The grocks are coming!

Free Time (Saloon) Day 2
[Select Rest to proceed.]

Madame Adler: - When that Megagrock turned up, I thought we were done, but you just dived straight into the fight!


 * You two continue to surprise me!

Russ: - We always try to do our best, but that big one surely was a tough nut to crack...

Madame Adler: - It may big, but for us to survive, you have to make it bite the dust.


 * Once it appears out on the plains, you need to take care of it as quick as you can.


 * If you don't your towers will be gone in no time...

Russ: - That Megagrock is a real pain in the tail!

Madame Adler: - Listen! If all your towers are down, you'll have to work together to survive.


 * Don't forget -- their attack pattern will be similar next time.


 * Don't slack off tomorrow. Remember we're relying on you. You're our only hope.

Prep Time
Russ: - Morning, buddy!


 * Do you really think that big grock will be back again?


 * Should we try to take it out right away or deal with the smaller ones first... ?


 * But tactics are your job. Right, pardner? I'm just your eye in the sky!

[After 5 minutes in the plains.]

Russ: - Did you hear that? It's almost time...


 * If you wanna go to the village, go now!

[After 6 minutes in the plains.]

Russ: - Watch out! The grocks are coming!

Raid Time
[After end the Raid Time (defeating all grocks or the duration time expires), a curtscene of Dens disappearing in the ground is displayed.]

Russ: - We did it! The dens are collapsing!

Free Time (Saloon) Day 3
[Select Leave Town to proceed.]

Madame Adler: - Governor Cappy told us that some tenderfoot rangers were coming, so we just thought we'd have to make do with whatever shavetails turned up.


 * And this is the result. You worked as hard as an entire posse!


 * We have your courage and strenght to thank for saving the village.

Russ: - Haha!


 * Don't mention it.


 * We're just doing our job.

Madame Adler: - Oh...


 * That was what the soldier who saved me when I was a little eaglet said: "Don't mention it. I'm just doing my job."

Russ: - Well, all good plainsrollers would say something similar!


 * Isn't that right, buddy?
