The Trickster (page 1)
While running from Rumina's whirlwind, Sinbad and crew take refuge in the resting place of the "old ones".  Once inside however, they realize that both Maeve and Rumina are powerless and they are unable to leave.  Making an ally out of their enemy, everyone splits up to find food and shelter, but ends up coming face to face with their greatest fears.  When it finally comes time to fight the old ones though, they realize that the whole thing was just a practical joke by "The Trickster".
