While searching for Mr. Cane, at the Billabong resort you discover the resort has problems that seem to be related to the Drop Bears of the Eucalyptus Forest. Beasties have crawled out of the lagoons and started eating people. Superior Judge Rozzer sends your wizard to help Judges Nelson and Lawless lock down and secure the area.
Judge Nelson wants to arrest your Wizard, but decides not to once he learns you’re here to help. He’s mildly frustrated over the demands of the tourists, the water isn’t dreamy enough, the water isn’t clear enough, the water is spewing out devils, koalas, and weird kicky bird things. Judge Nelson instructs your Wizard to install barricades around the lagoons while he watches your back.
Later on he helps your wizard shut down the pipeline that Mr. Cane has built under the Great Barrier.
