"The Orcs here are all Rank 2 Monsters, and there are no less than twenty High-Orcs which are all Rank 3 Monsters. Lastly, a Stronghold like this will always have an Orc Chieftain, which is at least a Rank 4 Monster.
"Escaping this place is next to impossible at this moment in time because none of you are strong enough to do so. But, once you are outside of the Stronghold, anything is possible."
The teenagers who felt down after hearing that it was impossible to escape the Stronghold all perked up when Thirteen said that it was possible to escape when they had left it.
