The Color of Magic The Lure of the Wyrm / Chapter 17 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Hrun curses his "rescuers."
  • Twoflower flies Ninereeds away from Wyrmberg, going higher and higher; as the air thins, Twoflower passes out, and Ninereeds disappears.
  • Hrun is kindly rescued by Liessa. The other two, eh, not so much.
  • Rincewind tries to wake Twoflower up. When that fails, he tries to imagine a dragon himself, but Death appears to remind him that he doesn't really believe, so the Power won't work.
  • There is a flash followed by darkness.
  • When Rincewind comes to, he's in the belly of a metal dragon with rows of seats (read: airplane).
  • He has also foiled a terrorist bomb threat and is congratulated for his bravery by some "Amulet-holder" (3.17.39) guy.
  • Rincewind sits down and the memories of Dr. Rjinswand (his Roundworld counterpart) come flooding back. He decides he could use a drink.
