Dory had been taking some days of vacation in Madagascar, as she had delayed that break in her passionate archeology studies for much too long already.

At least, this time she would be warned by Leörmn, who was keeping watch at the entrance, and whose riddles could very well befuddle the greedy uninvited fellows into forgetting their names altogether.
