TIC:
SHHHHH!

7B EXTERIOR BOG NIGHT

HAIRY MEG MUCKLEBONES rises out of the bog, huge and hideous. The

water hag is half corpse, half serpant. She seizes Tic and

disappears beneath the foul surface. The goblin's final CRY trembles

in the chill night air.

7C EXTERIOR BOG NIGHT

Blix, Pox, and Blunder are terrified. They scramble over the twisted

root in a wild panic, leaping onto a floating log.

BLUNDER:
Run. . . . ! Panic. . . . ! Emergency. . . . ?

The log rolls beneath their frantic feet. They barely keep their

balance.

POX:
Frog spit!

BLUNDER:
Snail Sperm!

BLIX:
All together. . . .now or never!

The goblin co-ordinate like tiny lumberjacks, running in unison. The

rolling log drifts forward.

POX:
J-j-jolly good! Team spirit and all that!

The log runs against the island and the goblins hop ashore.

8 EXTERIOR GREAT TREE NIGHT

An enormous blasted tree crowns the ruins of a forgotten castle.

Tangled roots grip the anicient stones like the tenacles of a

malformed sea monster. An atmosphere of eternal evil hovers over the

site.

The goblins stare back across the bog.

BLUNDER:
Poor Tic. . . .

BLIX(growling with anger): Forget Tic! Less is always more.

POX:
Better we spilt three ways than four!

Blix hurries up the crumbling steps. Pox and Blunder follow.

The steps lead under gigantic twisting roots. Blix finds a small

opening and slips inside.

Pox and Blunder like this less and less but follow their leader

without complaint.

9 INTERIOR GREAT TREE NIGHT

The three goblins tumble down a steep slope. The giant tree is a

vast hollow stump, open to a moonlit sky, surrounding a smaller tree

transfixed by a curved bronze horn, an instrument of unspeakable

evil.

Pox and Blunder stare up like open-mouthed tourists. Blix is

impatient.

BLIX:
Boost me. . . . ! Hurry. . . . ! We must sound the summons

before the dawn. . . .

The three goblins form a teetering ladder with Blix wobbling at the

top and Blunder crushed at the bottom.

Blix blows into the horn with all his might. Nothing happens.

Suddenly, he breaks wind!

Pox and Blunder grimace.

Blix blows again into the horn.

There is no sound. Dead leaves and dust puff out of the bell,

followed by three SQUEALING bats.

The supporting goblins wobble. Pox steps on Blunder's head.

Blix blows a third time into the great horn.

The unholy SOUND reverbarates like the wailing of all the doomed

souls in Purgatiory.

10 EXTERIOR FOREST(VARIOUS ANGLES) NIGHT

As the evil SOUND moans, the forest creatures react with terror.

Squirrels, rabbits, and mice dart fearfully for cover. Birds flock

to their nests. Only the night creatures, the wolves, weasels, and

owls perk up thier ears to listen.
