Snakemouth Way

1. Entrance

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: I've grown quite fond of this area. It's just so scenic!

Vi: Well, at least when it's not raining.

Kabbu: It's a good thing rain is so uncommon. It gives us ample time to prepare.

Kabbu: Let's enjoy the view while we're here.

Sign: Hey! Like attacking up close? Annoyed when an enemy is out of reach?

Sign: Ask a friend who can fly or toss something at it to bring it down! Press |button,6| to switch positions and attack!

2. Outside Chuck’s

[Story, walk toward Chuck]

Kabbu: Excuse me, bug of old complexion. Is everything alright?

Vi: Hey! Beetle! We're supposed to be adventuring! Snakemouth Den? Endless riches?

Kabbu: Sorry, Bee. I cannot ignore an old bug in distress.

Chuck: First of all, name's Chuck. And I bet I'm younger than both of ya!

Chuck: But if you need to know...

Chuck: I'm almost done arranging my cozy rest space for travelers going to Snakemouth Den.

Chuck: But I can't pull out this blasted weed!

Vi: You call this cozy?

Kabbu: Chuck, Snakemouth Den is more dangerous than rain on a wedding day. Shouldn't you be warning travelers?

Chuck: ...Look, will you help me or not?

Vi: I'm not doing any pulling. At least not for free.

Kabbu: Hm. Watch this, Bee. If I press |button,5| near small bushes or rocks...

Vi: Woah! Nice.

Kabbu: Something like this is no match for my horn!

Chuck: I'll be! You actually helped me! This made my week!

Vi: You've got a reward ready, right?

Kabbu: But Bee! Helping others is already its own reward.

(minibubble) Kabbu: And you didn't do anything.

Vi: It's really, really not.

Chuck: Hohohoh. No need to be like that. People who help deserve gratitude!

Chuck: This is all I've got on me, but please take it.

Vi: Ah, honey. Wonderful honey!

Chuck: Eat it if you're having a rough time. Alright?

Kabbu: Hm, thank you. We'll be going, now. Just make sure to warn others!

[Subsequent talks]

Chuck: Good luck you two!

[During prologue, trying to go through to Chuck’s Abode or back the way you came]

Whichever one isn’t in the lead: Hey, where are you going? Snakemouth is through the north west.

Whichever one is in the lead: ...I knew that.

[Overworld Spy, before completing prologue]

Kabbu: This is one of the Ant Kingdom's outskirts.

Vi: You know what it's not? Snakemouth Den. Let's go!

[Overworld Spy, post-prologue]

Kabbu: Ah, this is where we met Chuck.

Vi: Oh yeah. Where did he go anyways?

Leif: Well, this doesn't seem like a safe place to stay in.

Kabbu: He mentioned building a "cozy" space for explorers. He must be near.

Kabbu: Let's see if we can find him.

3. Corridor

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: There are spiked bushes everywhere.

Kabbu: I should be able to cut through these with ease.

Vi: Just watch yourself. I don't want to patch you up if you get hurt!

Sign: Want to know more about the enemies you're fighting? Don't forget you can Spy using the Strategies menu during battle!

4. Outside Snakemouth

[Story, first entrance]

Kabbu: This is it...Snakemouth Den.

Vi: It doesn't look that scary, you know?

Kabbu: According to rumors I have heard...It is the grave of a thousand explorers.

Kabbu: Having ended countless journeys, many a song have been written about its dangers.

Vi: F-For real?

Kabbu: Its interior must be absolutely riddled with monsters and death traps.

Kabbu: Only the bravest of teams even dare to step inside.

Vi: Geez, way to sell it to me, Beetle.

Vi: But the higher the danger, the better the treasure!

Kabbu: Hm. It's true that the artifact is likely to be inside.

Kabbu: But will you really risk your life for simple riches?

Vi: Like you're any better. Let's just get this over with.

Kabbu: (...It's not like she would understand.)

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: Snakemouth Den...The grave of a thousand explorers. Ender of…

Vi: Look, I get that it's scary.

Vi: You don't have to say the whole thing every time.

Kabbu: Yes, I must! Anyone going in must be aware of the danger!

Vi: Just get a move on.

Bandit: Keh. I am going back to the association headquarters. Do you want to hop along?

Textbox: Yes

No

[Spy Bandit]

Vi: This guy looks super shady.

Leif: It's not like we look any better.

Kabbu: Nonsense. I look trustworthy and approachable!

Vi: …

Leif: …

Kabbu: H-Hello?

[Quest: Lost Toy]

[Walk up to numbnail]

Vi: Look! That's probably the Numbnail Tod ran away from!

Kabbu: Do you think it has the kid's ball?

Leif: Only one way to find out...

[post-battle]

Vi: There it is!

Kabbu: Let's go back and give the ball back to him.

[End of quest-related dialogue]

5. Chuck’s Abode

[Overworld Spy]

Leif: Hmm. So this is Chuck's Abode?

Vi: Uh huh. I think he calls it a hut though.

Kabbu: Is there really any difference?

Leif: For someone so well spoken to make such a basic mistake…

Kabbu: W-What?

Leif: It's just such a shame.

Kabbu: Stop playing games Moth. Tell me the difference. I demand it!

Leif: Eh, there's no time. We will tell you later.

Kabbu: N-Noooooooo!

[First talk]

Chuck: Hey. It's good to see ya again. You've made a friend, too!

Leif: We're friends?

Vi: Of course we are!

Kabbu: Indeed. After all we've been through, we can trust and depend on each other.

Leif: ...We can get used to that.

Chuck: Hohoho. I'm only glad that you didn't get hurt exploring. Found any treasure?

Vi: Yup! As expected from me!

Chuck: Now nobody can tell ya you're just a little rookie. Stay proud!

Kabbu: Thank you, Chuck. Your hut is progressing nicely as well.

Leif: The hammock looks nice to sleep in.

Chuck: Drop by anytime, and you can sleep for free!

[Subsequent talks]

Chuck: Come for a nap?

Textbox: You bet.

Maybe Later.

[Spy Chuck]

Leif: It's some old bug.

Vi: Yeah, whoever that is.

Kabbu: Bee, you know fully well that's Chuck!

Kabbu: His hut has been coming along well, we should say hi.

Vi: Before he takes a nap.

Leif: Or he croaks.

Kabbu: *Grumble.*

[Quest: I Want a New Taste]

Chuck: *Grumble...*

Kabbu: Chuck, we saw your posting on the quest board.

Chuck: Oh! It's you guys. Ya did? Any luck? I'm starving!
