Chapter 1	Romans in the trees
Before the Gauls leave for Spain, they decide to ask the local Romans if old Julius is behind the kidnapping of Pepe once again. However, it is a long way to the next Roman camp, so our heroes decide to ask the Romans in the immediate vicinity of their village. Where could they find some?
Success	Fail
Even Gaulish children know that the Romans are always hiding in trees with lots of foliage and a good view of the village. Our Gauls give the first tree a proper shake and lo and behold! - a Roman already falls out. However, he swears by Jupiter that he has no idea where Pepe could be. Our Gauls will have to visit the Roman camp after all!	Oops, what's going on here? Not a single Roman falls from a tree, no matter how hard our Gauls shake and jiggle it. Are they all on vacation?
Chapter 2	Visiting the roman camp
For better or worse, the Gauls will have to make their way to one of the large, fortified Roman camps to inquire about Pepe.If our Heroes sneak up quietly, the Romans might not notice them until it's too late and they can take them by surprise.
Success	Fail
The Romans are just about to enjoy their lunch break when our Gauls jump out of the bushes. After a couple of good slaps, the centurion admits that he has no idea where Pepe has disappeared to, but he knows that Julius Caesar himself is going to Hispalis to see if everything is going well. Could this be a clue?	Well, that's strange! Although our Gauls tried hard to sneak up on them, the Roman camp seems to be empty.Either the Romans saw them from afar and ran away as quickly as possible, or they are on vacation for real! That's impossible!
Chapter 3	Off to Hispania
Since the Romans in Gaul seem to have no idea where Pepe might be, our Gauls now set off for Hispania. Instead of making the journey in a small dinghy, they decide to take a large ship this time and visit the port of Massilia. Will they find a captain who will sail to Hispania?
Success	Fail
It doesn't take long for the Gauls to get the hint that a merchant ship named Swift Seagull is anchored at the pier, soon to sail to Corsica. Perhaps the crew will be so kind as to drop our heroes off on the Hispanic coast? But oh no! When the Gauls go to the pier, they find a broken ship and a sad crew! What happened there?	Oh dear, no one seems to know of a ship that is about to sail to Hispania. What are our Gauls supposed to do now? Huevos Y Bacon needs their help after all.
Chapter 4	Swift Seagull needs a swift repair
As it turns out, pirates attacked the ship. On top of that, they kidnapped the navigator so he can show them the way to Helvetia, as they have heard of massive riches that can be found there! If only the pirates knew that ships can't sail over high mountains ... If our Gauls repair the ship, they can surely give chase to the pirates and rescue the navigator!
Success	Fail
No sooner said than done! Humming and whistling, the Gauls set about fixing the ship. They repair the mast and patch the sails until the Swift Seagull looks as good as new again! All aboard! It's time for a chase!	What a mess. The ship is completely irreparable. No matter how many nails and boards our Gauls hammer into the mast, it always threatens to break again. There's no way they can chase the pirates and get the poor navigator back.
Chapter 5	Wild chase
The captain of the Swift Seagull is absolutely amazed when his ship is sailing even faster than before! Gaulish craftsmanship delivers on its promises. It doesn't take long before the Jolly Roger of the pirates shows up on the horizon. To catch up with them, our Gauls will have to speed up.
Success	Fail
The Swift Seagull lives up to its name and catches up with the pirate ship in no time! These pirates will soon experience a nasty surprise, that's for sure! Now it's time to board the ship! For our Gauls one of their easiest exercises. Three, two, one and go!	The pirates sail away at such a breakneck speed that the Gauls can hardly keep up. To make matters worse, the mast breaks into pieces at full speed and the ship comes to a standstill. Oh dear, the repairs didn't last long!
Chapter 6	Let them have it!
The pirates seem to be feasting on a pile of roasted boars when they get surprised by our Gauls. "The Ga-, the Ga-, the Gaaaaaaauls!" - "Oh no, not AGAIN!" it echoes through the air and the pirates start to runaround like crazy. It's time to punch them properly in the face!
Success	Fail
One by one, the Gauls drive the pirates over the plank. The navigator, tied to the mast, is delighted when they free him and take him back on board of the Swift Seagull. In gratitude, the crew makes a small detouron their way to Corsica and drops the Gauls off on the Hispanic coast.	The pirates seem to have enough of the Gauls beating them up because when they try to storm the ship, the pirates are already waiting for them with rattling sabers and chase them one after the other over the plank into the water. Arrrrrr, swim as fast as you can, you landlubbers!
Chapter 7	On Hispanic terrain
Before the Gauls disembark, the grateful captain of the Swift Seagull tells them that straight ahead lies a road, not far from the coast, that leads directly to Hispania. If they keep walking straight, they can't miss it at all! Our heroes wave goodbye to the crew, then they set off.
Success	Fail
Always straight ahead? Nothing easier than that! Even from a distance, the Gauls hear the clamor of several voices mixed with the creaking of chariot wheels and the neighing of horses. It is not long before a wide stone road appears, with a seemingly endless succession of houses on wheels. A colorful mixture of Goths, Britons, Normans, and many others - do they all want to go to Hispania?	Always straight ahead? Easier said than done. Although our Gauls follow the captain's directions, they can't find a road within miles!They wander around aimlessly until the sun sets on the horizon and they have to admit defeat, completely exhausted.
Chapter 8	Hitchhiking to the border
Our Gauls meet an elderly Gothic couple on the side of the road, whose horse doesn't want to move a single inch forward. It's a good thing they have a druid with them! Statistix doesn't have to think long and suggests brewing a strengthening potion for the horse so that it can regain its strength. Can he find all the necessary herbs in the hot regions of the Hispanic border?
Success	Fail
A druid gets along everywhere in the world, no problem at all!In less than no time, Statistix has gathered all the herbs and is happily humming as he brews a strengthening potion for the little horse. Bravo! Within seconds, the old nag is transformed into a young horse and the gothic couple is completely thrilled! As thanks, they take the Gauls along in their chariot.	The potion is bubbling while simmering and when it finally looks ready, Statistix gives a large ladle to the exhausted horse. Instead of the expected effect, however, there is only a loud bang and instead of the horse, a fat, croaking toad sits in front of them now. Oh dear, Statistix mixed up the herbs!
Chapter 9	Please pull over!
Just before the Hispanic border comes into view, the long line of caravans begins to pile up. What's going on there? Oh dear, the Romans are carrying out checks at the border and even searching the inside of the moving houses in order to catch anyone who tries to smuggle themselves across the border.What should our Gauls do now?
Success	Fail
Before the Romans can search the Gothic couple's chariot, our Gauls are long gone!Unseen, they sneak away and make their way to the Hispanic mountains. That was close!	Quickly, the Gauls try to sneak out the back door of the moving house, but it is jammed and before they can manage to open it, the Romans have already caught them and led them away. Oh dear, that didn't work.
