Ok, yes I can pick on the soundtrack as much as anyone, but it is a great fantasy adventure movie. There are six main characters I will take a shot at doing each one some justice.
Phillippe Gaston
Gaston is the key to the story. He knows how to get in and out of the stronghold that will allow Navarre to end the curse. Yes, ok, he is a thief but he is the key, and he is kind of comic relief for the movie. For fans of 4thwall breaks he has a one or two (we could do with more). In reality his 4th wall breaks are him just talking to himself but it is all in good fun.
Etienne Navarre
Navarre from LadyHawke is a classic example of a romantic hero. He is strong and brave, yet gentle and kind. He risks his life to save his beloved, Lady Hawke, from the evil Bishop of Aquila. Despite the danger, Navarre never wavers in his commitment to protect and love Lady Hawke. Navarre’s character is a reminder of the power of true love. He shows us that love can be a source of strength and courage. He teaches us that with enough devotion and determination, anything is possible. Navarre’s story is a timeless reminder of the power of love. He is a hero who will never be forgotten.
Isabeau d’Anjou
Isabeau from LadyHawk is an amazing character! She is a brave and strong heroine who isn’t afraid to take charge and stand up for herself. She has been cursed to be forever with the man she loves but not be able to actually be with him. It’s a horrible situation, but she never gives up hope and fights to regain what she truly wants.
Imperius
Imperius from Ladyhawk is an interesting and complex character. He is a monk who is determined to protect and free Navarre and Isabeau from their curse and he might have caused it accidentally in the first place. Imperius is a symbol of hope and courage in a dark and troubled world. He is an inspirational figure who shows us that even in the face of adversity, we can still strive to make the world a better place.
Bishop
An evil dick
Marquet
The evil dick’s henchman. Let’s call him evil dick junior.
The movie is a little harder to find these days, but if you are a fantasy genre fan and see it, take the time you will like it.
When I think of Tanis Half-Elven from Dragons of Autumn Twilight, I think of a brave and heroic character who is always willing to put himself in harm’s way for the benefit of others. But there is much more to Tanis than meets the eye.
Sturm Brightblade is probably one of the most beloved characters from the early Dragonlance saga. He is a loyal and noble knight who strives to protect those he loves and serves. He is a strong, brave, and honorable knight who puts his own life on the line to protect the innocent.
Goldmoon is a heartwarming and caring figure. She is a strong-willed and compassionate woman who is determined to help those around her. She is a leader, a healer, and a source of hope for her people. Goldmoon is a symbol of courage and strength, and her unwavering faith in the gods guides her throughout her journey.
Riverwind is a Plainsman, a nomadic people who live on the plains of Abanasinia. Riverwind is brave and loyal, and is in love with the main character, Goldmoon. He is a skilled hunter and tracker. He is a wise and thoughtful leader, and is respected by the other members of the party.
Raistlin Majere is one of the most iconic characters from the Dragonlance series, and in my opinion all of the fantasy genre. He is a powerful mage who is determined to gain even more power and knowledge.
Caramon is a strong-willed individual who is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. He is an expert swordsman and is a master of the magical arts. Caramon is a loyal and devoted friend who is willing to risk his own life to protect those he loves, especially his brother Raistlin above all others. He is a powerful force for good in the world and is an inspiring example of courage and perseverance.
kingdom of Thorbardin, and is a master smith. He is known for his smithing skills. Flint is a loyal friend, and often helps them out in times of need. He is also a fierce warrior, and is willing to fight for what he believes in. Flint has a strong sense of justice, and will go to great lengths to protect those he cares about. Despite his complains he is very fond of Tasslehoff Burrfoot.
Tasslehoff Burrfoot is the epitome of adventurous spirit. He’s always ready for a new adventure, and he’s never one to shy away from a bit of trouble. He’s the kind of character who will do whatever it takes to get the job done – no matter how risky it might be. He’s also known for his love of pranks, and his mischievous nature often gets him into trouble. But no matter what, he always comes out on top. So, if you’re looking for a bit of excitement, look no further than Tasslehoff Burrfoot, but be sure to check his pockets before he leaves your house!
As we continue the adventure at Xak Tsaroth we discover that Caramon does not trust the Gully Dwarves at all. But as Tanis points out they really don’t have a choice.
As normal Tanis has a plan. As they all get in position he suffers from a moment of self doubt. Has he planned it properly? Is he about to get all of his friends killed?
They all had to run out of the ruined city as it was being consumed again and filled with water. It was difficult, but they made it out alive and back to the surface.
The elevator we saw in order to get up and down without the use of modern day machinery uses the gully dwarves as weight to bring the Draconians up from far below in the ruined city. The result of this discovery is that there is a thrilling fight that takes place in a giant pot that is used as an elevator car.
We get a little more backstory on what happened to Xak Tsaroth the night of the Cataclysm. Bupu leads the group along a pathway not taken by the Draconians for multiple reasons to go and see the leader of the gully dwarves, the Great Highbulp Phudge I.
The dragon attack in the previous chapter left Riverwind burned so badly his internal organs were exposed in places, but he was just outside an ancient temple to the gods.
finally were no longer facing exhaustion, but were preparing for a day when they knew they may have to face a dragon!
When the majority of the traveling companions were taken prisoner by the Draconians Flint and Tasslehoff managed to remain unnoticed and free. They followed the trail in hopes of finding a way to rescue their friends.
As they escape the camp the run through the swamp and find their way to Xak Tsaroth. They find a city in ruins and surprisingly Raistlin is the most excited at the thought of being here. We don’t know why but the mage is so secretive there has to be something in his quest for power involved.
The Forestmaster took care of their travel problems with flying horses (aka Pegasus), or Pegasi for the plural version. Never thought about the plural version did you?
The trip so far may have just been a little too easy. By all accounts they should still be able to make their destination by the deadline.
The traveling companions decide to take the risk and enter Darken Wood despite it meaning almost certain death (according to the mage 
They had been summoned by the Forestmaster! A unicorn, at least by appearance, that has been on Krynn since the time of Huma, and could communicate in the common tongue.
Goldmoon was last seen rushing to the back of the cart pulled by the Clerics to try to help the injured member of their group. In the process she tells the clerics that she did not steal the staff as she was being accused of but that it was gifted to her.
The party kills a few of the lizard men, Sturm suffers a head injury but they have to flee the area and get out of sight.
I do love the simple sketches at the start of each chapter. It really sets the tone for what is to come.
The companions start to move out and try to figure out their order of march. They decide that sending Tasslehoff to scout ahead is the right choice, because no one will suspect a Kender traveling alone (they can be annoying to travel with), but they also tend to wander off and get distracted by whatever they find fun. So, risky but worth it.
