Into the Labyrinth Cast

When Rothgo and the children tried to stop Belor from completing the Albido, the Nidas was inadvertently split into five pieces and scattered across time and space. Phil, Terry and Helen arrive in the vaults beneath Westminster Abbey in London, on 4th November 1605. Disguised as a bat, Belor watches as the trio split up to search for this era’s version of Rothgo. Elsewhere in the tunnels, King James meets with Guy Fawkes – actually Rothgo – and learns of a plot against him by Robert Catesby. When Fawkes reveals that he is one of Catesby’s fellow conspirators, the king is furious, but agrees to pardon him on the condition that he discloses the full details of the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament the following night. After Fawkes leaves, the king is joined by his wife, Queen Anne of Denmark – none other than the evil witch, Belor. Phil meets Rothgo / Fawkes, and is immediately concerned that his friend’s fate is to be hung, drawn and quartered at the king’s behest; Fawkes reassures him that his future is safe, and together they set about looking for the Nidas. The Queen meets with Catesby, and warns him of Fawke’s betrayal; she then tricks him into walking straight into the king’s guards, who promptly arrest him as a traitor. When Terry and Helen are menaced by Belor, they summon Rothgo’s future self to help; the sorcerer is impressed by their use of magic, and comments that the Nidas must be very close… While the Queen persuades her husband to sentence the traitor Fawkes to death, Phil and Fawkes are reunited with Terry and Helen; they quickly realise that Catesby holds the Nidas – but Belor overhears them, and immediately flies off to retrieve the precious object before them…
