Riga takes offense at the idea that he wont be able to handle that battle.
After all, I defeatedyou, he sneers.
She tells him about her Amberle vision, while outside, Mareth and Jax circle each other warily.

Jax accepted Eretrias bag of leave-my-daughter-alone diamonds as payment to track down Wil.
He holds up Wils most-wanted trading card and declares, Haircut was a good call.
When they stop for the night, Eretria returns Wils necklace to him.
Noooooo, dont you dare put that ugly thing back around your neck, Wil!
A few times, actually.
Eretria says Amberle loved him and sent her there to find him.
And like Cephelo always said: Dry your eyes; youre lucky you have today.
Jaxdoeselaborateon his plan to collect the Crimson bounty on Wils head as part of this trip.
Oooh, double-dipping on your payments!
Everyone agrees this is a terrible idea, but its the best one theyve got.
Jax, you sly dog, are you triple-dipping?
Once theyve done that, these peacekeepers will just keep conquering until theyve taken over the whole kingdom.
Commence evil mustache twirling.
After hes gone, Tamlin orders Edain to set up a meeting for her with Riga.
Friends, I cannot wait to see Edain get whats coming to him, enraged elf king-style.
As Wils party finalizes its plans to infiltrate Graymark, Eretria says she cant figure out Mareth.
Wil says hes giving her the benefit of the doubt, which pleases the Rover.
Magic-based double entendres FTW!
This does the trick, and Jax hands over the Stones.
Looks like weve got an inkling of Jaxs painful backstory.
Im…Im starting to think that The Crimson might be kind of jerks.
Outside, Eretrias decided that if Wil trusts Mareth, thats good enough for her.
When Eretria applauds him for doing the right thing, Jax warns her not to speak too soon.
Yeah, its tough trusting anyone whose loyalties can be bought.
Regardless, he follows them into the tunnels under Graymark.
Allanons in bad shape when Wil finds him, and unfortunately Wil cant remove his magic-dampening collar.
Allanon doesnt say hello and instead reprimands Wil for staging this rescue.
Well, theres some gratitude for ya.
Wil says hes only there to save Flick, even though that plays right into Bandons eeeeeevil plans.
Now that Allanon and Wil are both trussed up, they can chat a bit.
He blames destiny for Wil getting dragged back in, but Wil still blames Allanon.
Then Mareth freezes as both she and Allanon sense a disturbance in the Force.
Suddenly, she knows where Allanon is and orders the other two to follow her.
She leads them to the throne room, confused to find it empty after sensing Allanons magic there.
Riga looks assessingly at Allanon and orders a halt when the container of Wils blood is almost full.
Then the door swings open to reveal Mareth with Allanons staff.
Riga sneers that hes impervious to magic.
I love this woman!
Eretria rescues Wil as Mareth unlocks Allanons collar.
Allanon struggles mightily to hold the gate open as his companions escape.
Well, theyre out of the Riga frying pan.
Will they now head into the Bandon fire?
