Cufocr is able to speak with the spear-wielding natives. They look upon the Earth people as enemies and will be sacrificed to the gods of The Cave of the Laughing Death. They make a plan to break away from the natives, but the natives charge right before they are able to act and all are taken prisoner. The natives lead them to a cave. Once inside, they are led to a certain chamber within the cavern. The entrance will be blocked to allow the cavern to fill with a vapor that will make them laugh uncontrollably and then die. They hug the ground to escape the vapor and move the boulder away.
