The Colour of Magic - Pages 30 - 45

Okay, so we're still in flashback time with Twoflower, and now Rincewind is in the bar! So we get to see how they met I guess. And learn some Rincewind backstory at the same time: after an 'unfortunate event' Rincewind dropped out of mage school only knowing one spell.

I thought he was all qualified and stuff? Flawed heroes can still be good heroes though. And now we learn that the chest is enormously valuable! And Rincewind can speak Trob, Twoflower's language.

"Rincewind thought that a meeting with most of the Drum's clientele would mean that Twoflower never went home again, unless he lived downriver and happened to float past."

LOL LOL LOL.

Rincewind is now choking on his beer at the knowledge that Twoflower comes from 'The Counterweight Continent'. I assume this is on the other side of the Discworld and balances it?

Lol Twoflower has $$$ and doesn't realise the exchange rate. Good thing he's hired Rincewind as his guide!

Oh no Rincewind has now been blackmailed into looking after Twoflower. Politics, eh?
