In the dungeons, Murt leads Toge, Nya, Lloyd, Jay, and the freed Munce through the tunnels.

Lloyd: I wonder what happened to the others.

Nya: Yeah, I hope they're safe.

Lloyd: I guess, for now, we'll have to follow these guys wherever they're going.

Toge: The others will be okay. Don't worry.

Lloyd: I hope so.

Murt: Um... hmm.

Lloyd: Everything okay? Why'd we stop?

Murt: Murt not remember the way.

Jay: What? I thought you knew these tunnels like the back of your hand!

Murt looks at his hand, confused.

Murt: Uh...

Jay sighs in exasperation.

Murt: Is one of these. Either this way, or this way, or this way.

Lloyd: Yeah, um, we figured it was one of them, Murt, but we kinda need to know which one.

Murt: How about this way?

He points behind the group.

Toge: That's the way we just came.

Jay: Oh, great! Now we're gonna get lost down here, we're never gonna see the sun again, we're all gonna -

Nya: It's this way, guys!

Jay: How do you know?

Nya: I can see footprints in the dirt.

Jay: Oh. Nice work, Nya. See, I told you it would be fine!

Toge, Nya, Jay, and Lloyd gasp as they arrive at the Munce Home-Cave.

Ninja: Wow.

Munce Sentry: Halt! Who goes there?

Murt: Where?

Munce Sentry: There!

Lloyd: He means you, Murt.

Murt: Oh. Murt goes there.

Munce Sentry 1: Murt? Son of Murt?

Munce Sentry 2: You escape from the Skull Sorcerer? How?

Jay waves nervously

Munce Sentry: My Queen! We have visitors.

Murtessa: (gasps) Murt!

Murt: (kneels) My Queen. Murt escape. With help of these "moutsiders."

Murtessa: How? No one has ever returned from the caverns held by the Skull Sorcerer.

Murt: If you wish to hear story, Murt will tell.

Toge: (To Nya) This should be interesting.

Nya: Shh!

Murtessa: Tell!

Murt gestures wildly throughout his narration.

Murt; We were like so many days. Always thunk, thunk, thunk.

He pretends to mine

Murt: And then, they came. And the Skull Sorcerer was like so (waves his arms). And the ninja went like this (punches the air) and this (kicks). And then, caught like so, thunk, thunk, thunk (pretends to mine)! But then, this! And then, they fought, (punches and kicks) and like so, poof (punches his chest and pretends to fall)! And like this. And the Skull Sorcerer was like this. (pretends to roar in agony) Arrrgh. (hits the ground and pretends to cry) Boo-hoo-hoo. (pretends to die)
