Summary:
During a stop in a seaside town, Maeve, Dermott, and a local boy take a walk through a field. Suddenly, the trio is attacked by a band of Norsemen. Believing that the Norse god Thor has sent her as a tribute for the evil Gilling Demon, they capture Maeve and drag her to the "Forsakened Forest". The local boy runs back to Sinbad's encampment and tells the men what has happened. With Dermott's agitated confirmation, they realize that Maeve is in grave danger. Guided by Dermott, the crew enters the "Forsakened Forest" determined to save Maeve.
Maeve attempts to escape by creating a huge fireball. As the men duck and barely escape the explosion, their leader, Sven, orders his second in command, Eyolf to bind her hands with chains. A bond between Eyolf and Maeve develops as she questions him about her destiny. She then learns about the impending sacrifice. Eyolf's blind faith in Sven and their god Thor is shaken as he gets to know and care for the feisty Maeve. Even Sven is touched by her compelling arguments for her right to life and freedom. Yet their fear of the Gilling Demon lead them towards his cave.
Deep within the wild forest, Doubar, Rongar, and Firouz are captured by the large poisonous vines of a "Deathtrap Plant", but thanks to Sinbad's sword dexterity, they are set free and continue their search. Soon after, Sinbad is caught in a large spider's web. As the gigantic spider returns to dine on its prey, Rongar uses the dirks from his bandoleer to sever the strands of the web and allow his Captain to narrowly escape.
Through the help of Dermott's telepathic communications with Maeve, Sinbad and his crew reach the Norsemen, only to discover that she has already been brought into the Gilling Demon's dark and smoky cave to meet her doom. Bound and gagged, Maeve is left alone on the rock surface to become a human sacrifice. After fighting off a huge crab, Sinbad and the men race towards the cave to rescue Maeve. Although the combined efforts of the crew and Norseman defeat the Gilling Demon, Sven takes a fatal blow during the battle. Eyolf becomes the Norsemen's new leader. Sinbad and crew promise to visit his crew and him if they ever sail to Norway.
