It's been a while since we've seen Captain Donnithorne, and now he's back in the basement. He's using a mist to keep the basement cool, but it's starting to get a little too strong for him. He asks who the kid is, and it turns out to be the kid from the circus who tried to use the magic to open the coffin. It turns out that the kid was one of four knights from Arthur's Crusades who used their magic to help save a town from destruction. The kid's name is "Squirrel" , and he wants to know if he can use his magic to remove the alcohol from his body. The captain tells him to get away from the basement, but the kid won't let him. They're over-capacity on the kid, so they're going to have to run away.
