Master Long Tooth, transported to the Vykarin Wastes by a band of Vykarins, is deposited at the mouth of a cavern, in which awaits the Master of the Vykarin Wastes, Cold-Stone. Tooth fights the shell-covered Vykarin, as part of his continuing challenge to face champions of fighting styles all over Sinai. (Cold-Stone's style seems to be, "Run in a straight line and ram or trample your opponent, stop when you hit something, then turn around and try again.")
