Rincewind is found guilty of injuring the tree during his mad dash to escape the wolves, but before the dryads can execute him, they open a portal to show him Twoflower's fate in the Temple. The two travelers are separated: Rincewind ends up in a tree serving as the home for some dryads, while Twoflower finds his way to the Temple of Bel-Shamharoth, the Soul Render. Thanks to a game between the gods, a troll is put in their path leading to an unfortunate series of events involving a mother bear, a pack of wolves, a poisonous snake, and the personification of Death itself. Rincewind and Twoflower travel to the forest. Rincewind and Twoflower escape the city of Ankh-Morpork as it burns down around them (a disaster that is only marginally their fault), and the tour of Discworld continues. With the help of Twoflower's Luggage, Rincewind mounts a rescue for the tourist, only to find himself in the middle of brawl between the Thieves' Guild, the Assassins' Guild, and the Traders and Merchants' Guild, all of whom want Twoflower for their own purposes. Twoflower is kidnapped by a group of thieves lead by Ymor, though, and brought back to the Broken Drum. He's stopped at the city gate and brought before the Patrician, though, who offers Rincewind a classic Hobson's choice: either act as Twoflower's guide and protector and most likely die in the process, or accept the Patrician's punishment and wish he had died in the process.Ĭhoosing the former, Rincewind brings Twoflower on a tour of Ankh-Morpork's sites: the taverns, brothels, and merchant quarters.

Rincewind thinks this is such a great idea that he attempts to flee the city. Twoflower hires Rincewind as his guide, wanting to see the heroes, wonders, and majesty (read: cutthroats, dangers, and utter shabbiness) of the city.

At the Broken Drum tavern, he meets a failed wizard named Rincewind, who knows exactly one spell and exactly nothing about what it does. On the Disc is the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork, and it's here that a man named Twoflower begins his journey as the world's first tourist. The Discworld floats through space on the back of four elephants that, in turn, stand on the back of the Great A'Tuin, the cosmic turtle. The Color of Magic Summary The Color of Magic
