First Arrival
Mayor Connor: - Hola, señores! I'm the head honcho here and keep watch over this village like a hawk.

Russ: - A hawk? You look more like a vulture to me!

Mayor Connor: - Ay caramba! I'm a condor. Look, i have a quena.

Russ: - Quena? What's a quena?

Mayor Connor: - Quena is a bamboo flute. Condors loves flutes and flying.

Russ: - Eh? What have condors got to do with flutes?

Mayor Connor: - Ay caramba! Perhaps you should head back to the city and finish school!

Russ: - The city? But we came here to help defend the village!

Mayor Connor: - In that case, you should get ready, instead of chatting like a guitarless mariachi.


 * Ay caramba! The volcanic grocks are getting ready to explode!


 * I warn you -- if they get too near to wood towers, the towers will go up in smoke.


 * Make sure you don't get burnt either!

Russ: - Erm, so what have condors got to do with flutes?

Mayor Connor: - Aren't you listening?! Oh... My blood pressure...


 * By the way... An old dog wants a word with you.

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

Mayor Connor: - Oh, you muchachos sure like to keep busy with this and that.

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

Mayor Connor: - What? You're not interested? Oh, I see...

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...]

Mayor Connor: - Si, señor. A ranger can do as he please.

Prep Time
Russ: - Volcanic grocks? This sounds serious.


 * If the mayor is right, we'd be better off making our towers out of metal.


 * We'll just have to see for ourselves what these volcanic grocks are like.


 * Good luck today, buddy. Let's do this!

[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 are coming!

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

Sal: - Psst! Hey, ranger!


 * I've just got in some really boss gloves and a bandana.



Mayor Connor: - Oh, you're back. You didn't get burnt, did you?

Russ: - No, but we did get really dizzy from going around in circles all day.

Mayor Connor: - The loco landscape around our vilage in on account of all the strip mining.


 * It's hard work getting in and out, but that means it's easily defended.

Russ: - Well, we respectfully disagree.


 * The Springgrocks are great at leaping into plateaus.


 * Don't make the mistake of thinking that the grocks only come along the roads.


 * If they overran the valley, we wouldn't be able to protect the towers or the village.

Mayor Connor: - Hmm. I see. That was a thorough appraisal.


 * You sure have yourself a good pardner there, Russ!

Russ: - Hey! He doesn't do all the work, you know!

Prep Time
Russ: - Morning, buddy!


 * I don't think there's much chance of us getting lost out there.


 * But the lay of the land makes it difficult to collect those scruffles...


 * We'd better not dawdle. Otherwise, the raid will be starting before we know it.


 * Let's get rolling!

[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.]

Mayor Connor: - Did you see them? Did you see the Vulcangrocks?


 * I keep feeling it's something we've done that's made them madder than old wet hens.

Russ: - Eh? What do you mean?

Mayor Connor: - This area used to be an open strip-mining operation.


 * They kept digging round in circles till the valley ended up in this vortex shape.


 * It looks completely different to how it did before.


 * Whenever I see those grocks, I can't help thinking it's the mountain come back to get revenge.

Russ: - The mountain back for revenge? That's unlikely.


 * I think that's all in your head, Mayor.

Mayor Connor: - What are you saying?

Russ: - Well, the miners did their best and worked hard.


 * They did all that digging, and now you have this village.


 * What reason does anyone have for getting revenge?

Mayor Connor: - Ah... Yes, you're right. Sorry.


 * I shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean any disrespect to our forefathers.


 * Thanks for helping me see clearly... Which reminds me. I wanted to give you these.

[Appears a picture of Mine Goggles]

Mayor Connor: - They're miner goggles!


 * They've been passed down from our ancestors. They're top-class safety goggles.


 * Think of them as a lucky charm that'll keep you safe.

Russ: - The fit is a bit loose, but thank you, Mayor!

Mayor Connor: - Ay caramba! They're not for you. They're for Dillon.

Russ: - Not again! Two nights in a row!

Prep Time
Russ: - Morning, buddy!


 * Ah, I see you've already attached your goggles to your hat.


 * An ancient force in the goggles has enhanced Dillon's powers!


 * You got the tunnel attack skill!


 * Slide the stylus on Touch Screen, then press and hold L button.


 * When Dillon has burrowed into the ground, lift the stylus off the bottom screen.


 * Tunnel forward until Dillon's underneath a grock and release the L button... To burst out and launch a surprise attack!


 * It's very effective against monsters that are difficult to hit with a roll attack.


 * Check the game guide for more help with the controls.

Russ: - Hmph. I already have my own goggles...

But why do you always get all the presents...

[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.]

Mayor Connor: - Gracias, rangers! The villagers are overjoyed!

Russ: - Yeah, we're really glad it's over too.

Mayor Connor: - I'm starting to feel a spring in my step again, like I'm about to soar off.

Russ: - Shouldn't be too much trouble for a condor...

Mayor Connor: - Well, I've been cooped up for too long. Flying just wasn't possible during the war.


 * It used to be our job to fly around in the sky. The realm of the condors...


 * And now look at you -- a little pip - squeak flying around on your newfangled toy!

Russ: - Are you saying I should leave the flying up to you old buzzards?

Mayor Connor: - Well, I guess the times certainly are changing...
