In the forest of the Unforgiven, Anna Maht tries to bring a tree to life to ask for directions. It's a mirror tree so the spell bounces off the tree, reverses, and turns Nestor into stone. Quest takes the opportunity to quit the adventure, leaving Gatling in charge. Quest and Graer end up in the carnival-like town of Deludium. Quest finds Doctor Demise (a frog-like guy who runs a kennel) who is holding his dog. Quest realizes he misses Nestor and the crew. Meanwhile, Gatling finds the Water of Better, which partially frees Nestor, until Albert drinks the rest. Spite and Ogun show up and kidnap Nestor and the crew to castle Mollux. From their prison cell, the crew feeds Albert a bunch of onions so he cries out the Water of Better and frees Nestor. Quest and Graer go to Spite's castle and release Lucky, the dog, who eats all of Spite's growls and grinders.
