Chapter 2: Rubble Without A Cause[]
After recounting the story of his first days in Daventry, an aging King Graham tells his granddaughter, Gwendolyn, about his first test as ruler of the kingdom. This time, a mischievous horde of goblins has imprisoned the people of Daventry, and a still inexperienced Graham must confront difficult choices and even harder consequences to save his friends.
In the first chapter, the future king of Daventry hadn't achieved his legendary status yet. In fact, he was a softhearted soul who suffered from bouts of anxiety. He definitely wasn't the kind of person that we would normally associate with kingliness, but what he lacked in confidence, he made up for in wisdom, strength, and compassion. And Graham’s story was far from over.
Chapter two’s narrative catches up with Graham soon after he’s taken over Daventry’s throne. He walks a little taller, and he has a little more facial hair, but his newfound responsibilities are already overwhelming. And when a mischievous horde of goblins imprisons the people of Daventry, Graham will need to put aside his fear in order to be the hero that his friends need. But will he be able to save them all?[5]
In chapter two, Goblins have kidnapped everyone in Daventry, and a newly crowned King Graham must learn to be the leader the kingdom needs. The second chapter will take place five years after the first and will introduce new characters as well as furthering the stories of fan favorites like Olfie, Whisper, Acorn, Amaya the blacksmith, Wente the Baker, and the Hobblepots. Perhaps we will even find out what the goblins are doing with all those stolen mattresses.[6]
King’s Quest - Rubble Without A Cause is the second of five chapters in the new, critically acclaimed reimagining of the classic King’s Quest game series.

When a mischievous horde of goblins takes his kingdom hostage, a newly crowned and woefully unprepared Graham must rise up to free his people and prove himself the leader he was destined to become.
Will Graham and his friends unearth a way to escape their rock-brained captors? Will he take for granite everything he learned as an adventurer? Does he have the stones to reclaim his mantle & lead his kingdom to safety? Will the hat make it out ok?
