- Martin and friends survive the storm and as sun begins to shine they paddle towards the shore - but they have become separated from Brome and Felldoh, who they fear have drowned. Druwp saves his skin by raising the alarm and revealing Martin's escape. Skalrag must admit that some prisoners have escaped by sea. Felldoh and Brome are washed ashore - alive. Seeking shelter, they discover a band of strolling players, the ROSEHIP PLAYERS, and meet BALLAW their leader and the tough badger ROWANOAK. Martin and friends also struggle ashore only to be captured by QUEEN AMBALLA and her pygmy shrews. They are prisoners and slaves again!
