Waldo and company have just barely survived an encounter with his grandfather the archlich. All Waldo wants now is to stay in Lunatown where he, Alice, and Gronk will be safe. So, of course, he soon finds himself dragged out of the village and forced to go on an adventure. And why? Is it to look for great wealth, power, or wisdom? Are they searching for the One Bracelet to rule everybody? No, that would make far too much sense. Instead, they set out to find a legendary wine just to give a certain somebody the 'drunkest drunk.' And all because of an alcoholic lush of a dragon and a new arrival to the village. They seem absolutely determined to make poor Waldo's life a misery. The Dark Powers are definitely laughing again.
Oh, and there's this whole war thing going on over in Torikai. Hundreds of thousands of lives hang in the balance as the Dark Armies approach. Melissa, the Grandmaster Ramiel, their fellow White Mages, and the brave folk of the Rats Nest prepare for a desperate battle to save their lives and city.
But the main story is about an alcoholic dragon going on a liquor run.
