The future of the Buddies hangs in the balance in this episode when the buddies finally encounter the brains behind this undead crypt, Necromancer Coco. Should they defeat him they'll be one step closer to emerging from the crypt and entering the arena as champions, should they lose they'll be doomed to serve an eternity at Coco's side as another of his many skeleton warriors obeying his every wish and satisfying all his weird necromancer fantasies.
