Why does Grover start to get nervous at the emporium? (There are several reasons)

• He can smell monsters, one of the statues looks like his uncle, and he can hear hissing.

• He starts to feel his body stiffen, almost like he's turning to stone. He also hears Pan whisper "Run" in his ear.

• All of the food tastes like snakes to him, he keeps hearing slithering noises, and he can't smell any food.

• Aunty Em's food stand is underground, which he hates because he's not able to see and all he can smell is monsters.

What excuse does Percy give Aunty Em for why he went into the Gnome Emporium?

• He's a hero and he suspects she is in danger

• He's a cowboy in a traveling rodeo and he came in because one of his horses wandered away.

• He's a health inspector in training and he has to test all of the food to see if it meets the official standard.

• He's an orphan from the circus and he came in because he smelled food.

Why does Annabeth say they have to kill Medusa? Why can’t they just run away?

• Medusa's snakes have smelled them. Now that she has the scent, she'll track them to the ends of the earth.

• Their feet are frozen to the ground--they've been slowly turning to stone the whole time they've been there.

• If they run, Medusa will keep turning innocent people to stone.

• If they run, Annabeth and Percy's parents might abandon them--the gods and goddesses turn their backs on any heroes who flee from a challenge.
