The Kidnapping

Rowanne, quietly practicing her archery in the woods one day, is suddenly abducted. Her kidnapper turns out to be John, a bumbling good-for-nothing acquaintance from her own village, who thinks he can return her to Bridgesford and collect the bounty the Baron has placed on her head.

Valiant and Arn follow her trail and catch up to Rowanne and her abductor at an abandoned castle-keep. But, they must now also vie with Garth, a sinister tracker from Bridgesford who has been following John and his catch. Garth is the real danger, sent personally by the Baron to capture Rowanne at any cost.

A series of clever maneuvers by Rowanne sends Garth stumbling over a precipice to his death. John, meanwhile, takes advantage of the moment and flees a certain confrontation with Val. As for the reunited trio, they have found a home in the castle-keep until they can find Camelot.
