Conor wakes up to find himself chained to a dungeon wall. Don't you just hate when that happens?

Conor and his Dad get to meet their 'host' and Conor almost gets a new nickname -- Lefty.

Mom hugs, get-a-ways, horse rides, boats, dreams and apples -- oh my.

Be verwey verwey quiet we are entering the Yewlands.

Conor gets another lesson in how unpleasant it is to be in a land were everyone wants you dead.

A mishap on the fields of Muhn. It's amazing who you can meet when your lying face down in a ditch.

A chat with a tree and a new character who looks like he lost his neck in a poker game.

Wine, food, a girl and a fight -- sounds like a party at Castle Muhn.

What do you say to an angry father with a sword at your throat?

A hard elbow, a cold shoulder, a noseful of lettuce and another slap on the back. Not everything is a party at Castle Muhn.

Coner is back in the saddle, Fergal learns to "Yahoo" and Araf has a dance with a pig.

Coner stabs, Esa thaws (a bit) and Araf doesn't say much.

Araf speaks, Esa cries and the gang meet The Army of the Red Hand.
