After arriving on a Hebridean island, they found the spell book in a tomb located at the island's northern point. Once Palethorn took the book from its resting place, the tomb began to collapse.

[[File:PalethornHuman.png|Palethorn casts the Spell of Eternal Darkness.|thumb|right]] In 1886, Palethorn resurfaced and used Zarok's spell book to unleash havoc upon the city of London. The spell resurrected the dead across the city, including the skeletal remains of dinosaurs housed in Kensington [[The Museum|museum]]. Because the spell book was missing some of its pages, Palethorn was transformed into a red-skinned demon with elongated ears as a side-effect. Palethorn then set out to find the missing pages so he could fully control the [[zombies]] he had brought back to life. During this time, Palethorn and his lackeys, [[Dogman]] and [[Mander]], worked on a machine - the Great Scope - at the [[Greenwich Observatory]]. Using the machine, Palethorn hopes to instantly locate all the missing pages of the spell book. However, his plans were foiled by the resurrected hero [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] after he crashed an airship into the Great Scope. Soon after Palethorn built the [[Iron Slugger]] and organized a boxing match between himself and Kift's team, with the Egyptian [[Princess Kiya]] as the prize. The Iron Slugger was defeated by Dan and Palethorn's plans were thwarted yet again. | [[File:PalethornHuman.png|Palethorn casts the Spell of Eternal Darkness.|thumb|right]] In 1886, Palethorn resurfaced and used Zarok's spell book to unleash havoc upon the city of London.
