Dar manages to find a horse that looks like Simtar although its colour has to be changed. The performing troupe arrive to provide a distraction for switching horses. Slythius smells a rat.

The horses are switched. Simtar is attached to one of the wagons. Zad proudly mounts the ringer but Slythius runs his hand over the horse to show it's been dyed. As an additional distraction, one of the tumblers dressed as one of Zad's knights sneaks up behind Dar and pretends to run him through. Zad is tricked for a second time which gives the rest of the troupe and Niva time to escape.
