They meet a resourceful girl named Dahlia who feeds them sugary lizard tails and reads prophecies woven in a hidden tapestry. To excape from Eldrack's reach and return the moonstone to the arch, they must cross the Great Snort Pit in a boat scarred with frighteningly large bite marks" -- p. [4] of cover
