Grettir takes a mounted patrol from Sequarl westwards along the great Black Rock Road. They turn north and follow the West Otanga river to a body of water that they name the Lake of the Hippogriffs – because of the quantity of Hippogriffs they see there. They fight off a River Serpent and discover a Hydra’s lair. Once they dispose of the many-headed beast they find much treasure. The loot includes a very rare imperial coin, sold to a collector in Chittagong for much profit.
