PlotEdit

The gang come across the sheriff testing greek fire ("black powder") and concoct a plan to stop him from reproducing the dangerous weapon.

They rescue a cartful of Saracen slaves who are temporarily protecting themselves by pretending to be diseased. One young Turk in particular, named Djaq, helps them stop the sheriff and proves to have a good deal of knowledge of medicine and chemistry. The band allows him to join (only later discovering, via Will, that "he" is actually a "she", who has taken on the guise of her dead twin brother to protect herself).

TriviaEdit

• First appearance of Djaq.
