The Lost World

A horse without a rider seems to intentionally find and approach the explorers. Roxton takes the mount, but the horse leads and carries him to a mountain tribe that welcomes him as king. Despite Roxton's refusals, the tribes folk and their powerful advisor, Balar, insist that Roxton take the throne...or be killed as an imposter. Roxton tries to send a warning to his cohort, but Balar undermines his plan and captures the adventurers while commencing a tribal custom to sacrifice a virgin to a monstrous dragon.
