The stories

“The Balloon Gods, Part I: Mindor Is a Wizard!”

Samson and his friends are captured by a tribe living in the ruins of Macy's department store. Mindor shows them how to make better use of the goods and facilities, angering the witch doctor Magor. Since knowledge weakens Magor's authority, he plots to seize power with the help of Terra.

“The Balloon Gods, Part II: Mind over Magic!”

By murdering the sentries, Terra and Magor gain a first-strike advantage. But an attack by dawgeon monsters forces both groups into the store and a temporary alliance. Samson and Mindor lead the counterattack, after which Terra declines King Jonz's offer of marriage, and returns to Jerz.
