The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter Ian's spell finally works, the brothers turn a children's puzzle into a route to Raven's Point, where the gem may be hidden in the mountains. The expressway promises speed, but Barley sees it as an obvious trap and argues for the dangerous old trail from his Quests of Yore adventures. Their disagreement is funny, but the deadline is serious: every choice affects how much time they may have with Dad.
