Episode 4: The Island That Flows
The islanders have sent the women and children away on a boat to protect them from the upcoming battle, but the orcs find and target them.

Pandemonium breaks loose as volcanic bombs rain down on the island... but this is only the prologue to a much greater disaster.

The threat of the orcs has passed, but a dragon hanging out in the caldera brings a new threat to the island. It appears to be sucking the life force out of the islanders to store up energy, but it would be suicidal to try to attack it head-on. While fleeing, Yotsuya and Torii stop to help one islander...
