The Color of Magic Close to the Edge / Chapter 3 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Rather than end the book on that note, Rincewind awakens on a boat hanging above the Rimfall.
  • Seventy miles away, a slaver captain and his crew wonder where it is.
  • Some of the crewmen tried to kill the monster with axes and torches, but it produced teeth and a tongue where clothes and luggage had once been and ate them.
  • Rather than face the creature, he orders the crew to the emergency raft and then to put fire to the ship. This captain has no intentions of dying today. There will be other ships, preferably monster free ones.
