Deciding that being held prisoner can't be nice, Arkorow woke up early and released the demilich, Morgan, from captivity. He picked up old tophat, which gave him a telepathic link to the demilich. Then they went to the city outskirts where the nestmother ankheg reappeared, and they defeated her.
In an old church basement, they found several rare alcohols, one wine barrel with the 'Cumbaux' insignia reminiscent of the Cumber insignia, as well as a painting of 'Dorne VC'. They stored all this in the bag of holding except the barrel which they had to leave behind as they saw the dragon flying north towards the Fertile Fields.
Arriving on the scene, they saw Old Bess being tended to by dozens of bullywug and King Bullywick, and Betty and Roswell hunkering down in the shade of a ruin. Then Morgan appeared and turned the giant serpent mad, and then finally the dragon appeared as well.
