It is decided that Soora Pappa (Peethara's second cousin twice removed) and Jim Pappa should accompany him back to his village to help transport a barrel of the potion. However, while beating up a Roman galley in the British channel, Jim Pappa mentions the mission, which is reported to the Roman high command in Britain, led by General Motus. In Britain, the barrel of potion is confiscated from a pub cellar, along with all the barreled "warm beer" (bitter) and wine throughout Londinium, by the Romans, who set about tasting the barrels to find the right one.
