Later, after fending off pirates, Arak and Valda learn Montagu's villainous nature and are taken prisoner, and Arak is thrown into the hold with the rocks. But, it turns out the rocks contain the remains of Pompeii's people, and one of their high priests awakens and reanimates the corpses, who kill Montagu's crew and sink the ship.
