Book 1, Chapter 6, Palanthas Summary

Chapter Six opens with the introduction of Tanis' old friends, Tasslehoff, a kinder, and Flint, a dwarf. The kinder is telling the dwarf about sighting Raistlin on the steps of the great library of Palanthas .

They realize that all of the buildings on the street, even the mansions, are empty. They both become frightened by the eeriness and bone-chilling coldness of the area. Flint wants to go back, but, ever curious, the kinder wants to keep exploring...
