Jack knows that Wracksaw and the enforcers will be after them soon. They cross a series of floating rocks above the river. Jack explains that the experience with Stargrove was different than other times he controlled zombies. This time, he experienced her thoughts as well. Jack realizes that Ghazt gave him this power. They land on the other side of the crossing and choose the more hazardous route in hopes of keeping ahead of Wracksaw.

Stargrove proves to be a helpful travel companion, pulling them out of battles and peril. Globlet points out a memorial for a battle with Ŗeżżőcħ. Jack allows the detour, hoping to get more information about his foe before the final face-off. Globlet points out abandoned towns and outposts, commenting on how most of the dimension has turned into “never-ending despair.” The monument surprises everyone, showing a skeleton creature locked in battle with Thrull.

Jack doesn’t understand why Thrull would battle a servant of Ŗeżżőcħ when Thrull himself is a servant of Ŗeżżőcħ. A monster tour guide named Amarelda explains that Thrull was part of a team called the Great Champions who fought off all the servants of Ŗeżżőcħ.
