Minus is debriefed by Senpathi Thuma, who on learning of the magic potion orders his legionaries to capture Weda Pappa and bring him back to the camp. Weda Pappa is later ambushed by the Romans while he is out collecting mistletoe, but refuses to divulge any of the secrets of the magic potion to Senpathi Thuma. When Weda Pappa fails to return to the village, Soora Pappa goes into the forest to look for him where he encounters a slow-witted merchant with a dilemma over his oxen.
