they may also know about the Disks.

Warn Onyx, and send my elite troops

north to Solace.

One way or the other,

I will have that staff.

You think there might be goblins

living in there?

I wish. I'll fight the living

any day of the week, but not the dead.

DThe dead!

DAII you need to know, kender,

is that none who enter Darken Wood

ever return.

Sounds like an adventure

just waiting to happen.

We're already on an adventure.

DWe can stop for a rest, if you want.

DWho, me? I'm fine.

Actually, this is a good place to stop

for a moment

before we round that bend.

DFor the record, I could keep going.

DI know.

DTas, can you scout ahead?

DFinally, something fun to do.

Now, look. No roaming off the road.

Keep your hands

out of people's belongings.

Unless they're bakers,

or fishmongers, or...

Caramon, you mind?

Don't worry, Tanis. Be right back.

Your one true love's a sailing ship

that anchors at our pier

We lift her sails, we man her decks

We scrub

Crazy kender.

Can I get you anything, Raist?

I am preparing my spells.

All I require is to be left alone.

Well, I'll be right over there

if you need me.

No, we can't.

Problem?

He is a shepherd,

and I am a chieftain's daughter.

No matter how I feel about him,

we cannot be together.

Being rejected because of your heritage

isn't an easy thing.

Perhaps you and Riverwind

have something in common after all.

Monks! Monks! Monks! Monks!

DMonks? We can handle monks.

DI don't like this.

Stay calm. Sturm, you do the talking.

If they're really monks,

they should respect a knight.

Greetings, brethren.

Hail, Knight of Solamnia.

Tell me, do you come now from Solace?

We traveled through, yes.

We are seeking

a sacred crystal staff of healing,

last seen in Solace. Do you know of it?

One of our brothers is ill.

He'll die without its blessed touch.

DI'm afraid we can't help.

DI bear the Blue Crystal Staff.

DI can help you.

DWe are grateful for your aid.

By the gods, what are these things?

Don't stab them! They'll turn to stone

and trap your sword.

Now, Raist!

Sturm!

My father's sword.

Don't worry. I'll get it.

Stay still. You've lost a lot of blood.

He's dying.

I am in your debt, my lady.

Did anyone see that?

Tanis, look!

More of those lizardy things!

Hurry! Into the forest!

But that's Darken Wood!

It's full of undead!

We've got no choice,

unless you want to jump off that cliff

or fight more of those things.

I think we lost them.

What do you sense?

There is a great and powerful magic

laid on this forest.

DEvil?

DOnly to those with evil intent.

Then you are the only one

who need fear this wood, mage.

Listen.

Sheathe your swords.

Trust me, they won't do you any good.
