Queen of Shadows - Episode 5

Previously: In our previous episode, Eilwen, Aron, and Drystan arrive safely at Rockriver, however they find that the town has been attacked and half burned to the ground, its inhabitants dead or missing. They aid one of the wounded survivors, a man named Kyffin. He tells them that the town was attacked by none other than Uzak an erstwhile and now exiled member of the Frostbridge settlement who has raised his own warband and terrorizes the country side, calling himself clan chief of a Wolf Fang clan. Kyffin doesn't know if Uzak has captured Mabon and her father, Cadfael, but he tells Eilwen that if they want to get ahead of Uzak's raiding party, there is a shortcut through a nearby mine that takes them directly through one of the mountains and should position them on the far side. He warns them, however, that the mine is rumored to be haunted and have strange creatures. He gives them a map. They decide to go through the mines, seeking whatever advantage they can in their quest to quickly save their Cadfael and Mabon. They make preparations for the journey through the mine.
