Synopsis:
Warlord and his companions come across a group of monks performing an act of human sacrifice. Morgan is outraged and attacks the monks. He rescues the girl, Ashiya, that they intended to kill. She explains that her sacrifice was to be done in exchange for the return of the Mask of Life which was taken from her people.

Morgan offers to retrieve the Mask from the Tower of Fear. He and Machiste enter the Tower and face the horrors within. They fight their way to the top only to find that Mariah has beaten them to it. She used an anti-gravity disc to reach the top from the outside.

The travelers hand over the Mask of Life to Ashiya and depart. The girl then reveals her true form as a shriveled old witch. Ashiya places the Mask on her dead master who is resurrected. Ironically, the Mask was retrieved by the person who killed her master in the first place. When the Mask's work is complete, Deimos lives again.
